Once the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion is operating at full capacity, the efficiency is quite terrifying.
In fact, in order to clear out the turtle bandits, Yunzhou has been operating at full capacity for several months. The army, the district inspection department and other yamen are operating at full capacity. Even the teaching camp has been emptied. However, under the strict order of Marquis Gao Yuan, it can still be crowded. He used some manpower to form a new team for Tang Zhao to complete his mission.
Tang Zhao originally thought that his plan to face the sword was simple and straightforward, requiring luck and courage at most.
He first activated the formation to try to communicate. If he could be teleported, he would discuss with Jianzhi face to face how to evacuate from Yunzhou. If the formation failed, he would dive down from the river and visit Jianzhi at his door. The most difficult thing is to get into the water and ask for a meeting in just one breath. But once this proposal is actually implemented as a serious matter, it is not that simple.
That is a major matter that concerns the people of a state, and may even be the only life-saving straw in the future. How can it be solved by just jumping over it?
For example, for the communication and summoning formation, Tang Zhao only confirmed the effectiveness of the formation based on Bai Ni's text reference and his understanding of the runic formation. Basically, he recognized "inseparable" and " I think it should work", but if we really dig into it, it's not enough.
Now this formation is being studied by Xue Xianyun and his disciples. Not only must it thoroughly confirm its efficacy and principles, but also strive to trace the location and method of its connection. It is best to directly lock the coordinates on the opposite side. It would be better if changes could be made based on the principle, eliminating the step of getting a response from the other party, forcibly sending more people there, or establishing a more direct and open dialogue channel.
In order to study this rare high-level talisman formation, Xue Xianyun not only came to Zhongtian Mansion from Zhuoyu Villa, but also brought other true disciples including Jiang Shenyi. Except for Xue Yeyu who became a swordsman and was traveling around, Zhu Ying still Without leaving home, all the other disciples came to Zhongtian Mansion and worked overtime at the Sword-casting Pavilion, suddenly sharing most of Tang Zhao's research work.
It wasn't until Xue Xianyun started targeted research that Tang Zhao realized that he was too inflated. It is indeed rare to become a swordsman at such a young age, and it is just a piao. Does it mean that he also regards himself as a great person in Fu Shiyi?
Winning the perfect score in Fuhui is good, but at most it can be regarded as winning a rookie award on your debut, right? The master has been immersed in Fu Shi for decades, and he is a Lifetime Achievement Award-level person. At most, he wasted a little on making swords, but Fu Shi's skills are much deeper than his own.
Even if they haven't learned advanced talismans involving time and they all need to ask for advice, does that mean Xue Xianyun has a wide network of contacts? After being in the world of Talisman Sword Masters for many years, he not only made enemies but also made friends!
Now that his glasses were broken and he could no longer provide research plug-ins, Tang Zhao really didn't have much advantage, so he simply trusted Xue Xianyun and waited for the No. 1 Talisman Sword Master in Yunzhou to figure out the reason for this formation.
In addition, research in other aspects is also in full swing.
Needless to say, the research on the Golden Crow Sword and Dong Jun is related to the character and ability of the unknown sword, as well as how to establish contact with it safely and efficiently. Zhang Rong personally presided over it, excerpting information from various classics, and covering all aspects. When conducting research, you must be knowledgeable.
Even Baini's information was being studied. Someone stared at each word of the few words left by Baini in Tang Zhao's hands. The symbols on Baini's coffin board were even unclear to Tang Zhao. The words were also copied and analyzed one by one. The efficiency is much higher than Tang Zhao fighting alone.
Therefore, Tang Zhao changed from the main researcher in the camp to half a student and an audience. When everyone came up with some research results, he rushed over to study, and maybe combined the existing information and progress to put forward some directions for the scholars to do. Reference, but mainly for learning.
The content is being studied here, and the materials are being prepared over there.
Especially after Gao Yuanhou observed the movements underground, he already believed that material preparations were more important.
Tang Zhao had previously speculated that the Tongyang River water was very warm in Yunzhou, but the temperature was the highest in Zhongtian Mansion, especially in the section outside the city gate. The river water had an extremely high temperature and was full of the power of the sun. Perhaps that is the entrance closest to the Golden Crow Sword. Later, Gao Yuanhou's observations proved this point. So it’s okay if they don’t go into the water. The water must be near Zhongtian Mansion.
And this operation is highly top secret and must not be leaked. As long as there is any leakage, not to mention that Caiyun Gui came down from the front to look for trouble, the unrest in people's hearts caused by the news of the catastrophe is enough to cause Yunzhou to explode. However, people in Zhongtian Mansion come and go, and it is extremely difficult to keep secrets in any corner of the city.
Therefore, their team needs a base that is close to Zhongtian Mansion, is convenient for setting up formations, has easy access to water, and can be kept secret.
Fortunately, there is a ready-made one right in front of us - the training camp of the District Inspectorate.
The Jiandi Division Training Camp is close to Zhongtian Mansion, but it is hidden on the side of Hezhou, surrounded by dense forests and mountains. In the past, it was independent of the world, and not many people knew about it. A high-walled fortress is set up to hoard supplies only for young people to use for closed training. At this time, the previous class of students had graduated and the new class had not yet been recruited, so it happened to be vacant, which couldn't be better.
Therefore, Tang Zhao returned to the training camp again after two months, and this time he was already the commander-in-chief of the camp.
Although almost all the teams have been changed, even the names have been changed.
The current code name here is "Chaoyang Camp".
In the Chaoyang camp, Yunzhou's strongest talisman and historian talents gathered together. It was filled with supplies, ancient books, precious materials related to the sun, treasures that can protect water and fire, and gifts that the Golden Crow Sword may only like. . There are also personnel drawn from various places who may be useful.
All these manpower and material resources were managed by Tang Zhao, which made Tang Zhao's head as big as a bucket.
Tang Zhao may not have management talents, but he really has no management experience. In the past, given his age and status, he was mostly in the position of being managed. At most, he served as a teaching teacher, and that was mainly teaching. How could he have managed such a A big deal?
For such a large and important project, there are nearly a hundred people in the training camp alone. The number of people involved is several times more, and the material throughput is also amazing. It is very energy-consuming just to arrange the daily activities of the personnel to ensure that no trouble occurs.
He felt that he was not good at this and was too busy to do anything. He really didn't have the energy, so he might as well choose another sage, and he could just concentrate on preparing to get close to the sword.
However, Marquis Gao Yuan refused, saying: "The core of this matter is you, and you can only be the leader. The time is so tight, but if the person in charge is divided into two people, wouldn't it be a mistake if something went wrong during the run-in? As for no, it can be done. Learn. You don’t want to learn when you are just a teenager? Do you think there is any swordsman who does not lead a team? A person’s character, wisdom, and talent may be different, but as long as you are strong, there will be people who will rely on you, and you will have many people under your command. Once you become a leader, you will naturally become the leader, shouldering the responsibility of leading everyone. You can't push it away. When a swordsman goes to the front line, he must lead a team to fight independently. I think you have this potential, and you must learn it sooner or later. From this time on Start learning.”
Fortunately, Marquis Gao Yuan did not just rush to the shelves, but also assigned him a deputy, Dong Xingyu from the training camp. He was his partner when he was doing teachings. The two got along well at the time, and Dong Xingyu also supported himself independently when the mountain leader was away. The management skills of the training camp for several months helped Tang Zhao keep an eye on the trivial matters at the base.
Although Tang Zhao is a swordsman, he is not experienced enough to learn humbly. He should listen to Dong Xingyu's opinions on matters. If it doesn't work, he can also ask Zhang Rong, who is in charge of data research in the temporary camp. Maintained orderliness.
It would be great if everything in this world could be done well by studying hard and working hard.
But in fact, it didn't. When the base here was on track, troubles over there came one by one.
First of all, no good news came from the outside world regarding the encirclement and suppression of the turtle bandits.
Although everyone in Yunzhou has tightened the net tighter and tighter, almost to the point of airtightness, no big fish were caught in the net, only some insignificant shrimps were caught. It seemed as if the turtle bandit's power had been completely eradicated from Yunzhou.
But who can prove that the turtle bandits have ceased their activities and given up their plans?
What if they still have deep-seated forces secretly planning that conspiracy? What if the formation that Zhou Chengzhi mastered was wrong and the real formation had actually been arranged silently? What if they are just waiting for them to relax their vigilance and attack immediately as soon as they relax?
The consequences of this incident were so serious that no one could say the word "give up".
But if you keep tightening the net, how long can you hold on?
Marquis Gao Yuan's subordinates are already extremely loyal and capable, and they can grit their teeth and persevere, but the funds will not last long. As the saying goes, food and grass go first before troops and horses are mobilized. The manpower and material resources mobilized this time are no less than a war. The food and grass materials are spent every day at a low price. No matter how rich Yunzhou is, it cannot sustain it. What's more, Yunzhou is only considered relatively good among northern states and counties, and its savings are not strong.
Although Tang Zhao stayed behind closed doors in the base, he clearly felt that the pressure had been transmitted. More than a month later, this pressure has shrouded everyone in the base. Although Marquis Gao Yuan has not sent anyone to urge him, the outside world is mobilizing resources and delivering news more and more frequently, and it is obvious that he can't help but be nervous.
Yunzhou doesn't want to end in vain and wants a result. Can Chaoyang Base provide the result?
Tang Zhao speeded up the summary of research, and after receiving another batch of precious gifts from the outside world for the "Golden Crow Sword", he was ready to try the first teleportation.
At this time, he had invited Xiang Yangzi over from Bai Yujing, and this was the only teammate he prepared for this call. Everyone else shrank away.
Xiang Yangzi was very excited to know that he could go to the current Golden Crow Sword, and he entered the base accompanied by two swordsmen, Bai Yujing. The two swordsmen did not return to Yunshang after sending Xiang Yangzi off, but instead joined Yunzhou's actions to show their sincerity in forming an alliance.
When Xiang Yangzi came, he also brought Qianqiu Tower. Because there is a complete original formation on the top floor of Qianqiu Tower. Although Tang Zhao could already use Sword Elephant to copy the formation, to be sure, it was better to move over the original version.
On February 12, the birthday of the previous Lord Dongjun Juqing, Tang Zhao opened the teleportation array and made his first call.
