Chapter 704 Since You Are Lost, Follow Me Back to Yanzhou (Part [-])
Chapter 713

The road to Yanzhou City was a bit rough, and when they approached one of the valleys, they suddenly found that at the entrance of the originally narrow valley, there was a general of the Song Army, playing with the horsewhip in his hand, safely Standing at the entrance to the valley.

And this Song Army general was the Song Army general who had just escorted them away. "I didn't expect that the general had just sent you fifty miles away from Yanzhou, and you would come back so soon. Don't tell me that you are lost..."

The leader, Xiao Qingyuan, took a deep breath, and secretly made a distraction gesture to his companions behind him. He rode his horse forward slowly, and his big hand was already in the handle of the knife at his waist. "What a coincidence, we did lose our way, but we didn't expect to meet General Wu and you here."

"Since you are lost, then follow me back to Yanzhou. Brothers!" Wu Tongzhi suddenly shouted, and the members of the mission who had quietly dispersed were shocked to find out.

At some point, their back road was already blocked by dozens of Song soldiers, and dozens of soldiers also appeared behind Wu Tongzhi.

Looking at the towering mountain walls on both sides, Xiao Qingyuan gently sheathed the half-unsheathed saber in despair, showing a very helpless expression. "Xiao knows that you won't believe it, General Wu, but this is indeed true. Most of us are strangers from a foreign land. We traveled far at night and took the wrong route. What's so strange about this?"

"It's really nothing strange. Let's go. Follow me back. If you don't want to die, just be honest." Wu Tongzhi smiled sinisterly, turned over and jumped on his horse, escorting the "lost" members of the envoy. Heading towards Yanzhou City.

"How is it? Did you get any results from the inquiry?" Wang Yang slammed his mouth, dropped the official document in his hand and raised his head.

"No, these guys are very tight-lipped. If you hadn't told me before that the punishment was not allowed, the general would have asked the brothers to do it several times..." Wu Tongzhi stood in front of Wang Yang and replied respectfully.

"It doesn't matter, continue to be detained, how about this, you divide your people into twelve groups, and interrogate these people individually.

There is no need to beat or scold, just don't let them have a rest time. Wang Yang said calmly. "If they doze off or can't wake up, pour cold water on them until they wake up, and then continue the interrogation." "

"My lord, is this okay?" Listening to Wang Yang's very calm order, it made Wu Tongzhi feel chills in his heart. Although this method did not cause any harm to the other party's body, the thought of twelve hours a day would be necessary. Surrounded by several people, they kept chattering.

If you doze off, you will be woken up by being splashed with cold water, and you will feel uncomfortable even thinking about it.

"Why, if you don't want to do it, then let someone who is willing to do it come over." Wang Yang rolled his eyes at him and said impatiently.

"Don't worry, my lord, it will be done in a safe and sound manner in the end." Wu Tongzhi was terrified in his heart, and he didn't dare to say any more, and quickly left the hall after receiving the order.

"I have to bother you, my lord, for the big things, can't those guys just kill them?" Ling Zong couldn't help but whispered.

"Since they came here with a mission, it means that they should know something. Since it has fallen into our hands, how can we use such a wasteful method as slaughtering things?" It is the life of the vanguard officer in the picture book of Romance.

On the contrary, it's Wu Qilang, who looks stunned and arrogant on the surface, but in fact, this guy has a lot of ghosts and eyes, which is a typical bad guy.

"Whether it's the purpose of their trip, or their identities, and the bits and pieces they know about Xixia and Beiliao, it is extremely useful information for my Song Dynasty. If it is so easy to kill, wouldn't it be Too much waste?" Wang Yang rubbed his eyebrows and said with an unhappy expression.

Having said that, Da Song's grasp of the enemy's intelligence is so low-level that it is outrageously backward, and even in terms of confidentiality and security work, it is extremely rough.

Especially here in Yanzhou, the tens of thousands of Xixia citizens in Yanzhou are like tens of thousands of spies to the Song Dynasty that has just occupied this place.

No matter how strict the defense is, this is a city after all, and there will always be many loopholes.In addition, both soldiers and officials still lack a sense of secrecy, so it is easy to get a lot of news from interested people.

The only place where Wang Yang can rest assured is the barracks, where no one is allowed to approach, and most of the eyes are cut off naturally. Several craftsmen who knew part of the process were all packed into the military camp.

Now that Wang Yang has become the economic and strategic appeasement envoy of the three states, he naturally has to consider not only the civil affairs of the three states, but also the military strategic layout of the three states.

In Wang Yang's heart, this place was the best frontier for the Song Dynasty to attack Xixia, pacify Xixia, and reopen the Western Regions.

Therefore, in his heart, military strategic layout will be more important.Because the Song Dynasty really needed the horse herding land of Xixia, and only when the Song Dynasty could take over the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties would it be able to compete with the nomads on horseback.

Only by capturing Xixia can the Song Dynasty be able to encircle Bei Liao from the south and west in the future, forcing Bei Liao to shift its defense focus north and west. Now Bei Liao is getting weaker and weaker. If the defense surface is enlarged, there will inevitably be many loopholes.

At that time, Da Song's goal of regaining the sixteen prefectures of Youyan will no longer be a dream.

A very important issue in military strategic layout is the acquisition of intelligence and the use of espionage. Wang Yang had not considered these in the past, but at that time he was just a civilian official in the Ordnance Supervision.

No matter how much he dances, no one will think that he will really have the talent in military strategy. If he does things, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be thankless.

But now, not only the entire Song Dynasty, but also Xixia and Northern Liao are absolutely familiar with the name Wang Yang, King Wushan.

After all, in the several battles between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, although Wang Yang was not an army commander like Xuexiang Su or Han Xianggong.However, his suggestions and suggestions have made extraordinary achievements.

Even those important officials in the court's old party who had been turned into MAXs of hatred by Wang Yang's popularity had no way to jump out and erase Wang Yang's achievements.

After becoming the economic and strategic appeasement envoy of the three states, Wang Yang has great autonomy in civil and military affairs. In addition, in the previous correspondence with the emperor Zhao Xu, Wang Yang mentioned intelligence work and spies many times. The importance of meticulous work.
