Shen Hao had just returned from the press conference at the Zhen Fu Shi Yamen. As soon as he entered the gate of Qianhu Office, he saw Wang Yiming hurriedly looking for him.
He waved his hand, and after returning to the public house, he asked, "Tell me what's going on?"
"Sir, there is a message from Haixia."
Wang Yiming didn't know about Zhang Lie. He only knew that there was a top-secret mission in Haixia. In the past few days, so many spies had gone out in disguise and were waiting to meet one person. No news came back until today.
Opening the copper bar, there was a brief message inside: I received a code signal fifty miles away from Xiaochuan. There were two people in total, and the heading was toward Xiaochuan's Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea.
Then there are two rather scrawled portraits of human faces behind the copper strips, and you can probably tell who they are. One is Zhang Lie, and the other is the mysterious man Ma San whose portrait was also sent to Feilong before.
Ma San is traveling with Zhang Lie? It seems that they were put together after Haixia. Is this testing Zhang Lie? Or are you just worried about the transportation of the goods, so you follow along?
"Has the coordination with the border army been completed?"
"We have already coordinated. They were not willing to cooperate at first, but then they changed their attitude after seeing the note from the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. They were very positive and completely followed our previous arrangements, leaving only one person who seemed easy. The neglected words came out. And they also agreed that we would temporarily use Tanshi's military teleportation array to dispatch manpower."
Shen Hao nodded and was very satisfied with Wang Yiming's coordination results. This "Jingxi" operation also scared the border troops. The involvement is not over yet, or has even just begun. Naturally, at this time, we dare not offend the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. Otherwise, it would be strange that with the virtue of the border army, they could cooperate with the case so readily.
"Go and prepare. Let the brothers who have cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining or above be ready and wait for my order with the highest combat readiness ration."
"yes!"
Shen Hao turned around and left the public house to find Wu Changhe. After a long conversation, Wu Changhe's expression improved slightly, but this time Wu Changhe uncharacteristically rejected Shen Hao's request to transfer elites from one hundred thousand households, saying that it was not impossible to transfer manpower, but the premise was that Shen Hao would be transferred. Hao revealed his secret plan, otherwise he would not allocate manpower to Shen Hao unless there was a forced order from the Zhenfu Envoy Yamen.
This was far beyond Shen Hao's expectations. He thought he would get Wu Changhe's support by giving some credit to Wu Changhe, but now it seems that the Qianhu official is extremely dissatisfied with him. He would rather not take the credit than give it to him. I was led away by the nose again.
In the end, Shen Hao had to order a small banner establishment from each of the four black flag battalion general banners to go to Haixia together with the 70 elites from the black flag battalion of Qianhusuo.
Shen Hao will take Wang Yiming with him during this operation.
Of course, without the elite assistance of Qianhu's personal guards, Shen Hao could only be more careful. Not only did he allocate the highest combat readiness to everyone, but after arriving at Haixia, he also persuaded the Haixia frontier army to deploy a forward battalion of 1,000 people as a Help Shen Hao complete the deployment.
This favor was not small, and Shen Hao remembered the generous frontier general Wu Kai. Afterwards, Shen Hao learned that Wu Kai and Jiang Cheng were old acquaintances, and Wu Kai had worked under Jiang Cheng when he was in the army.
The forward battalion that came to assist was not an ordinary frontier army establishment. In wartime, they are sharp-edged soldiers. They are used to rush in, attack, harass, test, force, and pursue. They are elites who must exert momentum and effect when they go up.
There are not many monks among these people, but they are all martial arts practitioners. They are proficient in combined attack techniques, good at using various talismans and magic weapons, and are equipped with a complete set of systematic weapons and equipment that have been tested in actual combat.
To put it bluntly, the two hundred or so soldiers of the Black Flag Battalion brought by Shen Hao would definitely be wiped out by the thousand forward battalion and would not be able to escape if they faced off head-on.
If the soldiers fighting against the established soldiers were not capable of cultivation or the power of their magical weapons to kill a large area instantly, the result would be: run or die.
Let's not talk about whether the frontier troops were slacking off or not eating at all. These matters have not yet been sorted out. But let’s just talk about the situation of the southern frontier troops.
The area bordering the barbarians in the south is actually not wide, because to the west is the Sea of Evil and to the east is the Sea of Treasures. The angle between the two seas is the Sea of Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo, as well as an empty and long area. This narrow area is called For the bamboo path.
However, the terrain within the Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea is difficult to navigate and is filled with smog and ferocious beasts, making it difficult for even monks to move inside. Therefore, the defense focus of the southern frontier army has always been the bamboo road.
There is also a well-known pass on the bamboo road: Zhuohuo Pass.
There is a poem that says:
Thousands of miles of bamboo sea close to the pass,
The bones are piled with blood and the clothes are stained with blood.
I often wonder when I will return my son.
The soul of a family letter has been put to rest.
In all the wars with the barbarians from the south, Zhuohuo Pass has always borne the brunt. Countless men from the Jing Dynasty shed their blood here, using their bones and will to join the blood of the enemy to build this great pass today.
The frontier army does not belong to the four major front armies and is a separate system. Mid-level and upper-level officers are rotated every four years. Moreover, the backbone of the frontier army was drawn from the four major front armies and formed together. It has the tactical literacy of the four major front armies and has the most solid practical experience.
The mid-level and upper-level officers rotated from the frontier armies will be filled into the four front armies in batches to maintain a high combat awareness in the entire military system at all times.
This time, the "Pure West" operation spearheaded by Jingxi Zhenfu's Yamen has affected the border troops. In the absence of war, the status of the military has already declined, and when it comes to important matters such as "enemies", everyone in the army is very nervous.
After receiving Wang Yiming's request for assistance, they understood that this was a secret mission supported by the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. The border army acted quickly and immediately arranged two troops from Qianhu Station to move the Xiaochuan area close to the border of Wanli Bamboo Sea. Martial law was imposed and manned patrols were arranged.
These are Shen Hao's arrangements. The area on the Ogawa boundary adjacent to the Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea is so vast that it is difficult to know exactly where the delivery location indicated by Ma San is. But now most of the area is under martial law by the border troops, except for a deliberately reserved nook and cranny that has been ignored. In this way, the barbarians from the south who want to cross the border to trade from the Bamboo Sea can only come in through this place.
After arriving at Haixia, they gathered the troops and then sent the teleportation array provided by Wu Te directly to Tanshi. Then we got out of the beach stone and drove quickly. When we got close to Xiaochuan, we took a detour to get closer to the Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea.
time is tight. Shen Hao didn't stop for a moment, just in time to complete the ambush before the spies sent the news that Zhang Lie had entered the border of the Bamboo Sea.
Everyone has a Qi Condensing Talisman affixed on their body and is hidden in the grass or in the forest. There is also a layer of illusion magic circle outside to block the sight of prying eyes. More than a thousand people are waiting quietly like ghosts.
At the beginning of Shen.
The sentry in the distance sent back news that Zhang Lie was seen, and there were not just two people along the way, but a group of thirteen people! Already separated from the road, he abandoned his horse and walked towards this direction.
