With the war going on, the entire southern part of the Jingjiu Dynasty suddenly became tense.
First, everyone in the Kunluo Pass was ordered to prepare for war. All positions were rotated according to wartime standards, and all personnel slept in their clothes. A warrant from Zuo Yuliang is required to enter and exit the pass, otherwise he will be shot no matter who he is.
Then the beach behind Zhuohuo Pass was put under full martial law, and all the auxiliary soldiers in the military camp who were both farmers and soldiers returned to the army and reorganized.
Finally, Haixia's garrison has begun to enter the military camps and fortifications in Tanshi in batches, completely activating the originally dormant Tanshi into a meat grinding mill covering hundreds of miles.
As a forward general, Wu Kai was sent to garrison in Tanshi immediately. The two thousand soldiers under his command needed to assist the local troops in Tanshi to guard the teleportation array.
This job is not a good one. Because although guarding the teleportation circle is a key responsibility, it is actually staying in the rear and isolated from the battlefield. He even lost the qualification to be rotated to the front line.
In other words, Wu Kai was once again put in the wrong position.
This is not the first time. Ever since the time when the dandy son of a general under General Wu Kai was almost beaten to death, his situation in the southern frontier army was getting worse and worse. Let him go wherever the water is as clear as water; send him wherever things are troublesome and there is no merit to be gained. In order to take advantage of him, he even took away all the thousand auxiliary soldiers he originally had.
Now that there is finally movement in the front, the entire southern frontier army is in a frenzy, all thinking of going to the front line to kill the enemy. Who would want to hide behind and guard some teleportation circle?
Wu Kai prides himself on being a fierce general, and he dares to say that among all the generals in the southern frontier army, no one can beat him in terms of commanding ability in battle.
But what about the fierce general? So what if he really takes first place? The military order will not bargain with you. If you are told to guard the teleportation circle, you must go. Do you dare to slack off? Just take the opportunity to beat him to death with a stick.
However, this time Wu Kai still felt a little bit wrong. He took the job of guarding the teleportation circle, but it happened to be convenient for him to do the job given to him by Shen Hao.
Because it is a military-level teleportation circle and it is located at an important frontline location, it is divided into two parts. One is a small teleportation circle, which is mostly used for communication by people coming and going on weekdays. The other is a large teleportation circle that is usually closed. , the kind that can transport thousands of people at one time.
The permanent garrison has a mixed battalion stationed and guarded. Now that there are troops in front, half of the soldiers of this battalion have been taken away and filled into various fortifications in front. Half of the battalion was left behind, together with Wu Kai's troops who were thrown over to eat ashes, to rebuild the defensive front of the teleportation circle.
The key area is the teleportation circle itself, but it will continue to be guarded by the original military garrison, and what Wu Kai's department needs to do is defend the periphery of the teleportation circle.
The garrison point is also the garrison where the military garrison was guarded before. However, because there were too many people and the existing buildings were not enough, Wu Kai ordered some tents to be set up outside as temporary shelter.
"Master Wu, this is your residence."
Naturally, Wu Kai did not need to live in a tent. A general from the garrison led him to a house specially reserved for him.
Looking around, Wu Kai found that this place was a row structure. The rooms were all next to each other, and they all looked the same.
"Those people live there too?" Wu Kai asked as if some of the houses with formation locks on their doors seemed to make him curious.
"Oh? It's not a place for people to live there, it's a desk room and a warehouse."
"Isn't it enough to just lock the formation in such an important place? Doesn't it need to be guarded?"
It was said to assist in the defense, but half of the local garrison camp was gone. The person with the highest rank was the commander, but he was far behind in front of Wu Kai. He could only stutter and say "there is a shortage of people."
"Didn't you tell me earlier that we were short of people? I just sent twenty soldiers here. We can't let such an important place be left without a guard."
I don’t always take this seriously. Is the desk room where the teleportation circle is used important? This is looking for trouble. But he said: "Your Excellency is wise." It had nothing to do with him anyway.
It seems that this is just a small episode. After settling in, Wu Kai dispersed the two battalions in his hands. He also meticulously built three defense networks according to the neighborhood map around the teleportation circle. It was obvious to see that The commander-in-chief of the garrison army also had to express his admiration to Wu Kai. In terms of troop formation alone, Wu Kai did have a lot of skills.
"Commander Chen? The core formation part will continue to be guarded by the remaining half of your battalion? Is that okay?" Wu Kai smiled and asked the commander of the Tun Army for advice.
"No problem at all!"
"That's good. Now that the barbarians are moving ahead, the military situation is extremely urgent. If we really want to threaten the barbarians, the teleportation array in Tanshi will be extremely critical. I hope Mr. Chen and I can cooperate during this period. A tacit understanding ensures that the teleportation circle is flawless."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu."
Because there is no affiliation between the two, Wu Kai's words have always been gentle.
After simply arranging the division of labor, it was night. Wu Kai returned to his station after a tour. During the day, the desk room, which only relied on a formation to lock the door, was now surrounded by many guards, and Wu Kai's soldiers were in charge.
"This subordinate has met your Excellency!"
The guarding soldiers saluted quickly when they saw Wu Kai approaching.
"Is there anything unusual?"
"Speak to me, sir? Everything is normal."
"Have anyone from the military camp come here?"
"No. The nearby houses have been allocated to the brothers, so they can keep an eye on these desk rooms at all times."
"Very good? Open the door and let me go in and take a look."
"It's my lord."
To open the formation lock, the people in the military camp naturally need to be handed over to the guards. Wu Kai asked to go in? Then there was no obstacle. As for the soldiers outside the door? They are all his confidants. There is no need to worry about leaking.
"Stay outside and don't let anyone come in and disturb you." After saying that, Wu Kai glanced at the soldier and then nodded to express his understanding.
Entering the document room is Wu Kai's first step. He needs to find what he needs inside as soon as possible.
After a moment of burning incense, Wu Kai came out of the desk room, nodded to the soldiers, turned around and went back to his room. No one knew that he had a record of the entry and exit of the teleportation circle from November to the end of December last year in his arms.
Back in his room, Wu Kai began to look through it carefully. Soon, he found a record in chronological order: On the second day of the twelfth lunar month in the 27th year of the Jing Dynasty, three people from the Ministry of War went into battle, and the waistband belonged to the "Magical Weapon Division". The recorded names are Mashan, Xu Qian and Zhang De.
In addition, on the eleventh day of December in the twenty-seventh year of the Jing lunar calendar, there is also a record of these three people returning to the imperial city.
A smile appeared on Wu Kai's face: "I finally found you!"
Then I turned another page and saw the signature of the recorder on the footer: Liu Qi.
