Although the specific way Cai Mao colluded with Sun Ce has not been found yet.

However, through the analysis of existing information, the arrangement of Zhang Song's in-depth investigation and the review of the report rhythm, Li Su still saw that Zhang Song is indeed very talented in creating diplomatic conspiracies and seeing through diplomatic conspiracies.

For example, the people sent by Zhang Song did not immediately come back to report when they discovered that the Cai family sent a ship to sneak eastward, but launched a further investigation, and conducted separate investigations.

In just over a day, I determined who might be the one who ran away to report the news, and I also determined that the person who ran away to report the news was on a boat along the Han River and continued to go east. This important information was that

Especially for the information in the latter article, even if the geography is not familiar with geography, even if the conclusion is placed in front of him, the implicit meaning behind it may not be able to see.

This is because Jingling County is close to Hanjinkou and is the last fork before the Han River flows to Xiakou and flows into the Yangtze River.

Hanjinkou is the confluence point of the Xia water and Han River. If people who walk on the waterway turn into Xia water from Hanjin, they can pass through Xiaze and then enter the western section of Xia water, and then enter the Yangtze River from Jiangjinkou, about 20 or 30 miles south of Jiangling City to enter the Yangtze River. Then they go upstream from the Yangtze River and go outside the south gate of Jiangling City. After passing Jingling County and not entering Hanjinkou, there is no fork in front of them, so they can only go to Xiakou.

When Zhang Song arranged the task so clearly, he explained the task so clearly that he could ask in advance that he would say goodbye to the wind and rain. Instead, he would be more careful and follow up for a while and completely make the information solid.

All other possibilities and interferences should be eliminated as much as possible, and finally, the few correct answers should be left. This is the quality that people who are intelligence counselors should have.

It can be seen that although Zhang Song has no strange plans, his logic and structure are still very meticulous. He is knowledgeable and has a thorough understanding of history and geography, and he has a very detailed lookup of omissions and shortcomings.

Li Su was also relieved by having such an aide who knew the details of the information. He felt that in the future, Zhang Song should not waste his memory and meticulous association ability on financial and household affairs.

Yang Yi or Sun Zi and Jia Kui, the accountant who did well in mathematics, can be brought over to work as a financial manager. Zhang Song will be in charge of intelligence analysis and eliminate the enemy's strategic deception.

If the subordinates who do this kind of business are replaced by other time travelers, they may not pay much attention to it. Li Su has read many historical time travel novels in his previous life. Even if the time travelers in those books are responsible for intelligence leaders, they focus on intelligence spy rather than data analysis.

But Li Su never blindly believes in those time travel novels. He is very clear that the situation he faces is different from those time travel novels he has read in his previous life. In order to save trouble, the writer always refuses to change the direction of the historical trend, because in this way the protagonist can lie on the prophet's awareness of the historical trend and take advantage of the prophet's dividend for a few years.

But Li Su has now become a crusher of historical events. He only has the prophets of the world to "people", and he roughly knows the character defects of important historical figures who are stronger and weak and have the characteristics of what kind of abilities. However, the prophets of "events" have long disappeared, and who has made history change so violently.

Specifically speaking of this "Cai Mao may cause trouble or even rebel" this time, Li Su's prophet was not in the specific situation. This is really not a reverse gold finger to Li Su's IQ.

But Li Suqian's IQ was extremely wise and could only rely on the prophet who had talents to the characters. He roughly guessed that Cai Mao was the easiest to reverse. How Cai Mao jumped against and the details of the tactical strategy, Li Su could not rely on fantasy deductions at all. He could only make people keep a close eye on it and wait for information.

The value of Zhang Song, a staff member who "Information Data Analysis", finally emerged.

Li Su and Zhang Song chatted for a long time, and roughly thought about the possibility of Cai Mao's actions. Finally, Zhang Song advised:

"Sikong, the methods you mentioned to keep a stable and guard against each other are good, but if you follow, you will definitely be alarmed. You have to give me an accurate statement, what is your first value this time?

Should we stifle Cai Mao in the bud, or should we bring in the collusion between Cai Mao and Sun Ce and let Sun Ce fall into the quagmire? Two things cannot be done perfectly at the same time. One focus must be on. If the blocking is perfect, it will be imperfect and cannot be obtained."

When Li Su thought about it, he really fell into perfectionism at the beginning. Because of the unknown way of taking action against Cai Mao, he was always afraid that Cai Mao would cause great losses as soon as possible, so he was too deliberate in blocking it.

After calming down and checking carefully, he was actually more important to the elements of "stop Sun Ce, create excuses for diplomatic war, inspire our whole side to unite against the enemy, and promote and attack the other side's betrayal."

That is, one must hold back the enemy's main force, and the other must take advantage of our army in the name of great righteousness.

If people have lost their land, they will all live. If people have lost their land, they will all live. If people have lost their land, they will all live.

Sun Ce has only been in full control of the local area in Jiangdong for more than five years, and the support of the aristocratic families in Jiangdong territory may not be too strong. Sun Ce's foundation of career is mainly his force. If the main force is severely damaged or even delayed for a long time, it will cause serious fatal injuries to Sun Ce's entire regime.

Therefore, even if Cai Mao joined forces with Sun Ce, even if the Jingzhou army temporarily lost some land, it would be worth it as long as it entangles or even creates opportunities to surround Sun Ce's main force! You cannot care about the gains and losses of a city and a place.

Li Su made up his mind and said, "I have decided. If war starts, entanglement Sun Ce's main force and create opportunities to annihilate the enemy's troops, which is more important than avoiding the temporary loss of the territory of our army's prefectures and counties!"

According to the leader's decision, Zhang Song thought for a while and suggested: "Since that is the case, it is better to abandon the tracking of other lines and focus on watching Cai Mao's own movements.

My subordinates feel that when Cai Mao finally found out, he must start it himself. Wherever he is, the risk lies. Moreover, there is another advantage in keeping abreast of Cai Mao himself and giving up other branches, which is to minimize the chance of alerting the enemy.

Zhang Yun has been sent to inform us. Our detailed work was discovered that he had gone east through Jingling half a day ago. According to the speed of the Han River ship, Zhang Yun should be almost at Xiakou now.

If Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were between Xiakou and Chaisang, they would get news tomorrow and respond as planned. The assembly troops would move upstream and pass through Hanyang to count the reaction and assembly marches for one and a half days. Later the day after tomorrow, General Zhou Tai of Hanyang would know the situation.

If they did not advance westward at all and were on standby in Chaisang, then it would take more than one day for Zhang Yun to report the message, and the enemy would have to sail two and a half days more when they marched against the current. We would have three and a half days more reaction time than the previous situation.

So, no matter how you calculate, Cai Mao will definitely be on the move. Otherwise, if Zhou Tai first responded to us that Sun Ce’s army crossed the border, Cai Mao might not be able to do it.”

Li Su calculated according to the timeline outlined and deduced by Zhang Song. Sure enough, the "project progress" was very stable, and all the timelines of cooperation matched each matched.

He stood up and paced back and forth quickly for a few seconds, stretched out two fingers and ordered: "Appoint it immediately, I'll send a detailed task tonight to stare at Cai Mao himself! If there is any abnormal movement, I will repay you immediately!

Wait! I'm afraid the reward is too late, maybe I have to adapt to this situation. You can go there in person, first go to Yicheng, and clearly ask the Cai family about Cai Mao's whereabouts, and then look at it.

Once you have a detailed look at what Cai Mao is targeting, then you can make a quick decision based on the situation. What measures can be taken? Without scaring Cai Mao away, it can reduce the losses of our army. There is no need to go back to Xiangyang to ask for instructions."

After Li Su finished speaking, she sat back in her seat, thought for a while and added: "I'll let Dian Wei protect you to carry out this mission. In this way, as long as Cai Mao has not officially started, he will not do anything to you."

Zhang Song bowed: "I will receive the order!"

After Zhang Song left, Li Su thought about it and secretly deployed two secret chess moves from other directions.

...

That night, Zhang Song didn't even sleep, so he immediately took a boat to Yicheng first and took a nap on the boat to rest. The next day, he didn't even enter Yicheng, so he found the detailed work he arranged in Yicheng first, and learned about the latest situation. If he could directly know where Cai Mao was, he would save the risk of asking more questions and adding to the risk of alerting the enemy.

Zhang Song's luck is pretty good, or the opportunity is favored by those who are prepared. Zhang Song's detailed work sent by him in Yicheng in advance has really found out about Cai Mao's whereabouts.

I only heard a detailed report: "Last night, more than 2,000 Cai family members set off in Yicheng. They did not catch the marching point, but after getting up, I found that there were a lot fewer people in the Cai family manors, and there were indeed signs of marching at night on the dock.

Later, I found out that these people were heading for Jiangling, and I found out that Cai Mao himself had also gone to Jiangling before he heard that he was patrolling defense in Hanjin and exercising his position as a commander in Nanjun, but he suddenly wanted to return to Jiangling."

Zhang Song thought about it in his mind: Cai Mao's servants and he had not yet acted like fighting, so in order not to attract attention, they were marching by water, not in a state of marching in wartime.

It takes more than 150 miles to get from Yicheng to Jiangling by water.

So if Zhang Song abandoned the boat and landed, he would go directly from Yicheng to Dangyang and then to Jiangling. Although he set out overnight, he would still be able to arrive in Jiangling earlier than Cai Mao.

After confirming that he could arrive faster, Zhang Song couldn't help but think again: "Now it seems that the arrow is imminent. Cai Mao could not have any false moves. His purpose is Jiangling...

But how can he accept Sun Ce when he seized Jiangling? Hanyang, the key Jianghan River Estuary Fortress, is still in the hands of Zhou Tai. Jiangling has become an enclave behind enemy lines. Sun Ce's food route is not accessible. He is here to respond to Cai Mao's death?"

Zhang Song thought about it for a long time, but he had no idea. He didn't have so much time to delay, so he asked Dian Wei and his party to find a tea stall to eat, drink and rest for a while. But he still didn't think about it, so he had to get on the horse first and ask everyone to go straight to Jiangling before talking.

After running around the road for a while, Zhang Song passed many interference items in his mind, and he listed that idea as "high probability and high priority":

"Cai Mao knew that Jiangling had too much money and grain stock? So after he planned to seize Jiangling, Sun Ce would not have to care about the grain roads anymore. He would rely on the materials and resources in Jiangling City to allow the enemy to be stalemate for a long time and wait for an opportunity to erode our army's hinterland?"

After thinking of this possibility, Zhang Song was a little chilled. And he thought, if Cai Mao had done this, with his responsibilities as the commander of the Nanjun, he might be able to help Sun Ce directly cooperate with the inside and outside to acquire more counties and military key areas under the Nanjun in advance.

However, Cai Mao was unable to separate himself, he could only go to Jiangling, and Zhang Song could only keep an eye on Jiangling. Zhang Song had no time to identify where the other chess and servants were, and he could not get enough information in time.

Then, Zhang Song remembered Li Su’s explanation before departure: when he left the land, he lost people, and when he left the land, he lost people, and when he left the land, he left the land.

Sikong's meaning is to put Sun Ce in and fight, and to annihilate the living forces. So from this point of view, Zhang Song cannot take the risk of stopping Cai Mao from seizing Jiangling.

Although he might not be able to stop it even if he tried hard to stop it now. He had no idea how many defenders in Jiangling City were obeyed Cai Mao's orders, or that they would suddenly turn against each other when Cai Mao's direct troops and Cai family soldiers were at the city.

After all, Jiangling City was not a front-line border fortress, and the garrisons were all soldiers left by Liu Biao's period, and they were not the direct troops brought by Li Su from Changsha, so their morale was very suspicious.

Zhang Song thought about this series of questions and rode on the horse for seventy or eighty miles. It was not until the evening of that day that day, when it was almost at Dangyang, that he came up with the final decision.

Dangyang is more than a hundred miles away from Jiangling, but because Dangyang is on the verge of Jushui, you can take the horse back on the boat and rest on the boat for a while to adjust your horse's power.

Zhang Song asked Dian Wei to find some boats immediately, and then flowed from Dangyangshun through Maicheng and Zhijiang, and took the opportunity to sleep on the boat in the middle of the night. After crossing Zhijiang, there were thirty or forty miles left, and then abandoned the boat and rode a horse again, so as to reach Jiangling City when the city gate was opened the next day.

After Dangyang got on the boat, Zhang Song discussed the specific operations after arriving in Jiangling with Dian Wei:

"Dian Guard, Sikong gave the order to prevent us from alarming the snake, forcing Cai Mao to not dare to take action, so the bait itself must be kept so that Sun Ce can see the chance to succeed. Otherwise, Sun Ce will turn around and leave, and Sikong's plan will not be completed, although, I don't know what specific plan Sikong will implement in the future."

Zhang Song's tone was very careful. After all, he was only engaged in Sikong, and Dian Wei was the Central Guard. Dian Wei was much taller than him in terms of level. So he never dared to speak in a tone of calling people along the way, and he was just discussing things with kind words.

Fortunately, Dian Wei was too lazy to use his brain. He only knew that Li Su was taking care of him before going out and listening to Zhang Song's plan temporarily, Dian Wei was so happy that he didn't need to use his brain.

He drank a small jar of rice wine and wiped his mouth: "Don't explain so much nonsense, just say what to do."

Zhang Song rubbed his hands: "After we arrive in Jiangling tomorrow morning, we will urgently draw a group of soldiers who are as reliable as possible in the city to collect all the cars and oxes. In the name of Sikong, General Zhao from the Northern Front was in an emergency, and it may be a big battle and a large number of military supplies and northern aids.

Then try to transport the important materials in Jiangling City, starting with excellent weapons, and finally food, transporting the things to...at least to Dangyang! If Cai Mao came late, we will transport more. In short, the materials left in Jiangling City should be minimized."

Even if you want to throw a bait temporarily and use Sun Ce's mentality to swallow it and vomit it, he will be more attached to him for a while, then it will make the bait less fat and lose less nutrients.

If you want to lose money when fishing for a large group of fish, you should do less money when fishing for a fish.

Dian Wei didn't understand the details, but Zhang Song said that this was the best, so he could do it.
Chapter completed!
