A huge map of Chang'an City was spread out on the table, while Cheng Feng, who was in charge of the Yulin Cavalry, and Tian Duan, the white-robed deputy commander, were carefully drawing on the map.
Chen Yu went to take charge of Liang County and was responsible for supervising the newly opened markets on both sides of the Huai River. Although the opening of the market was mainly for trade between the two sides, as long as they were not stupid, neither side would let go of such an excellent way to send spies to the other side. Therefore.
Chen Yu not only wanted to guard against the other party's spies, but also tried his best to spread the men in white robes through this channel.
No matter what, Lianghuai is still the frontline of the confrontation between the two sides. The current short-term peace is just a breathing space for both sides. It is conceivable that once one side accumulates enough strength, then nine times out of ten, it will not
Hesitantly breaks the treaty and takes action directly, so it is natural to understand the arrangement of troops on the opponent's strongest defense line as much as possible without delay.
Therefore, it is Tabata, not Chen Yu, who presides over the cooperation with Yuwen. After such a long period of work, Tabata has also proved with his strength that he is not mediocre.
The map in front of them should be the most detailed map of Chang'an that the Han Dynasty could find and draw, and it has been repeatedly confirmed by Yang Su and other people from Chang'an. The place where Tian Duan is pointing is the Gongyu Wenshen of Dongping County.
Ju's mansion.
Baipao has been sneaking into Chang'an for a long time. There are two strongholds around Yuwen Shenju's mansion alone. This is why he chose Yuwen Shenju.
"This is a restaurant that can accommodate thirty people." Tabata said in a deep voice, "It is only thirty steps away from Yuwen Shenju's residence. Look here again, this is a brothel, just on a street, and there are many people coming and going
It’s very complicated, so Tibetans can be around forty years old, and our people can also dress up as boys in brothels, so there will only be more Tibetans.”
Cheng Feng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tabata.
You guys in white robes really do everything you can and have a hand in everything.
Tabata also felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "The brothel is always a favorite place for men to hang out, so it is naturally easier for us to get the news and intelligence we want from it."
Cheng Feng nodded slightly: "But at least from now on, even if we can send seventy people directly in, it may be difficult to have any effect. After all, the entire Chang'an City and the Lantian Camp in the south are here. Once we attack
If Yang Jian fails to take action, Yang Jian will counterattack as quickly as possible. Let’s not talk about it at that time. Yang Jian is likely to take this opportunity to directly launch a rebellion and replace Yuwen. Therefore, I think that unless we are sure of it, we should not make any moves. Especially
But now we don’t know how many soldiers and horses Yuwen Shenju can hide in his own mansion, so this matter must be discussed more."
After a pause, Cheng Feng stretched out his hand and clicked on the map: "Brother Tian, look here. Although these two places are very close to Yuwen Shenju's residence, we can contact Yuwen Shenju nearby, but they are too far away from the palace.
Once we plan to take action, the first priority should be to ensure Yuwen's safety, and the second priority is to deal with Yang Jian. Otherwise, once Yuwen is controlled by Yang Jian's men, even if we can threaten Yang Jian, we can only give in. With Yang Jian's
Personality, in that case, it would be difficult to force him to bow his head. Instead, he might break the boat with us and start a fight. In this way, we will not have an advantage."
As one of the planners of the entire plan, Tabata is certainly aware of the existence of these obvious problems. In the final analysis, it is because of Yuwen's uncertain attitude that the current cooperation between the two parties is actually limited. From a purely operational perspective, This type of cooperation, in which both parties have not been candid and open to the public, is obviously very difficult to succeed.
"According to His Majesty's wishes, what we need to do is not really to cooperate with Yuwen or even directly kill Yang Jian." Tabata said carefully at this time, "Your Majesty just asks us to disrupt the government of the Zhou people. In other words, even if it is Yuwen's coup failed. As long as we can make Yang Jian hurt, then our goal has been achieved. Otherwise, in this situation where both parties are partially cooperating, I think it will be difficult to threaten Yang Jian."
Cheng Feng nodded slightly. In fact, it was impossible for both parties to be honest with each other. The alliance at this time was just because they had a common enemy and common interests. This is why Baipao had no hope of relying on Yuwen Shenju.
As long as the Zhou people can cause chaos themselves, then the purpose of these dead soldiers sent by Baipao and Yulinqi will be achieved.
"Another point is when should we take action." Cheng Feng said solemnly, "Once we fail, Yang Jian will definitely put down the rebellion quickly, and may even use it as an opportunity to rebel directly. This will not be worth the loss for us, so we should What opportunity should we seize? Now the entire Han Dynasty is not ready to directly go to war with the Zhou people."
"From the current point of view, the next conflict between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian should occur after the spring plowing, and it is likely to be a decisive battle between the two sides. At that time, according to the resolution between us and Yu Wenxian, troops will also be sent Heading north, both sides will attack Guanzhong." Tabata stretched out his hand and pointed at the map, "Obviously the perfect time is when our troops are about to move. If it is too early, it will be difficult to cause trouble. If it is too late, Yang Jian may take more precautions."
Cheng Feng took a deep breath. For the Yulin Cavalry, this was also the first time to engage in such an operation. At least in the previous battles, although the Yulin Cavalry was also the tip of the sword for Li Xinchen's surprise victory and special operations, after all, That was on the battlefield, among the mountains and hills, but now it is in the out-and-out enemy's city. The goal is not to capture the city, but to break through the tight defenses and eliminate the enemy's leader.
This fighting method of capturing the thief first and capturing the king is also an out-and-out challenge for the Yulin Cavalry, and of course it is obviously also the experience of Li Xingchen.
The purpose of the establishment of the Yulin Cavalry itself is to achieve what is impossible for ordinary armies, thereby making impossible strategic goals possible.
But this is only possible
"Judging from the current time, there should be about three months," Tabata pointed at several city gates in Chang'an in turn, "but our people are about to leave now, and they will be covered by white robes. After these few Each route entered Chang'an City in separate disguises. Since the division of the Zhou people, Chang'an has been heavily guarded, and caution is the top priority. Therefore, our people need to lurk around the city first and enter the city in batches. This process will take at least half a month. "
Cheng Feng waved his hand: "This is easy to say. I believe in you Baipao. Our Yulin Cavalry's mission is to kill Yang Jian, and we don't care about others."
Tabata smiled slightly: "That's very good, then Brother Lao Cheng will do it."
"It's because I've helped you with your white robes." Cheng Feng also said with a smile.
