In fact, even a military layman like Shen Hao can figure it out if he thinks about it carefully. In the past, the barbarians colluded with the pseudo-evil monks and the pests of the Ministry of War were smuggled across the Zhuohuo Pass through the Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea. This shows that it is possible to travel between the two places via the Bamboo Sea.
Of course, the difficulty of a dozen or twenty people passing through the Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea is not the same as that of thirty thousand people crossing the Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea. The latter must be dozens or hundreds of times more difficult. But only this possibility can explain why the frontier army gathered 30,000 people in Xiaochuan and hoarded a large amount of food and grass.
How could 30,000 people pass through the dangerous bamboo sea to reach the barbarians? Shen Hao did not think about this, and he knew that he could not figure it out, but this did not prevent him from guessing some military strategies of the border army based on the possibility analyzed by the four departments.
Now that the supervisory envoys' tentacles have basically been put in place, all main battle formations in the border army have supervisory envoys who keep an eye on the supervisory troops in the army one-on-one, and at the same time, they also follow the movements of the main formations.
Shen Hao had not considered these things before coming. Now it seems that supervisors are actually more direct and more useful in gathering intelligence than peripheral spies.
Is it possible to operate it? Shen Hao unconsciously had this thought in his heart.
However, after sorting through the intelligence in the supervisory envoy's system, he soon discovered something strange: in all the main battle formations of the frontier armies where the supervisory envoy was located, there was absolutely no movement or news about Ogawa's massed army.
There is only one explanation for this situation, and that is: the more than 30,000 people currently assembled in Xiaochuan are not in the main battle establishment of the border army at all, and they are not even part of the main battle establishment. Only in this way can they gather in Ogawa under the eyes of the inspector without being known.
The purpose of doing this is not difficult to explain. One of them must be to keep it confidential. As for whether there are other reasons, Shen Hao has no ability to know for the time being.
So who belongs to the non-main battle establishment? Except for the experienced soldiers from the frontier army sent by the Fourth Front Army, they are all non-main battle establishments. For example, this was the case for those soldiers who had just completed combat training in Haixia and Tanshi some time ago.
For example, they are the kind of people led by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin.
"Hiss... If you put it this way, could it be that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin were secretly tricked into Chen Cang?" Shen Hao couldn't help but worry about Zhang Qian and Gan Lin when he thought of this. Because if the order was given to assemble Zhuohuo Pass for the sake of confidentiality, but it was actually Chen Bing Xiaochuan, this makes sense logically.
I can only hope that Zhang Qian and Gan Lin are not so unlucky. Because compared to going from Xiaochuan to Ten Thousand Miles of Bamboo Sea and then crossing into the land of barbarians, the dangers are probably more dangerous than fighting the barbarians on the line from Jianchuan to Huzhuyuan. It is said that even monks from the Xuanhai Realm may not be able to get out of some Jedi in the Thousand Miles Bamboo Sea. With more than 30,000 people, it is really hard to say how many of them will survive after entering the Bamboo Sea.
"It seems that Zuo Shuai is not ready to play the "you come and I go" game with the barbarians from Jianchuan to Huzhuyuan. If it is really possible to open a passage from Wanli Bamboo Sea, then for the barbarians It’s going to be a good show.”
It's just that these are military strategies, and a layman like Shen Hao can only analyze a little bit. It is impossible for him to figure out the specific inside story based on this information. But out of the consideration of "controlling the overall situation in the south," he needed to understand these things.
At the same time, this top secret will not stop at Shen Hao. Instead, it will be confirmed after further confirmation, that is, after more direct movements from Xiaochuan show that Zuo Yuliang is indeed targeting Wanli Zhuhai. This information will be reported to Jingxi Governor Jiang Cheng, and then Jiang Cheng will decide whether to continue reporting it to Commander Pang Ban.
This is the result. The military and supervisory systems were unreliable, and Xuanqingwei had to do their own information. Otherwise, they could only read the official reports on the post-castration situation. This lag in information would make many decisions of Xuanqingwei's top management passive.
After sorting out this matter in his mind, Shen Hao was ready to start today's homework.
He had been practicing quietly before, all the way from the sixth level of the God Gathering Realm to the current eighth level, but there was still some distance from Shen Hao's goal. His original intention was to maintain the intensity of his previous practice until the end of the year, and wanted to try to see if he could have a chance to make a quick impact. The great realm barrier of Yuan Dan realm.
Unfortunately, the war in the south was raging, and the superiors sent him south to serve as director. The affairs were busy and complicated, which disrupted his practice plan. But even though affairs were troubling him, Shen Hao still tried to increase his practice time as much as possible.
Fortunately, with the help of the Black Beast Tattoo, it was easy for Shen Hao to enter the state of practice, and it was not difficult to exit, allowing him to use some fragments of time to complete his assigned homework after official duties.
Just as Lin Dashan saw through before, Shen Hao's cultivation has now reached the latter stage of the eighth level of the God Converging Realm. If he maintains this progress, he should make another breakthrough within a month.
However, there seemed to be a lot going on today. Shen Hao was just about to practice quietly but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Sir, there is a general outside who is asking for an audience. He introduces himself as Wu Kai, a general of Tanshitun Army."
Shen Hao frowned. He didn't come to Tanshi for just one or two days. Wu Kai should have a tacit understanding with him so that he wouldn't come to visit him. What are you looking for now?
"Take him to the side hall, I'll be there shortly."
"Sir, that general also brought a gift list."
"Huh?" Shen Hao frowned and turned to look at the guard who came in to pass the news, "What gift list?"
"A cart full of local products and some mountain game. They said they were hunted last night and are very fresh."
"Retreat them all."
"yes."
The guard went down to make the announcement and at the same time returned the gifts at the door. In the room, Shen Hao was holding a teacup and frowning slightly.
Wu Kai has dealt with Shen Hao, who is capable and ambitious, but also has a lot of evil intentions that are difficult to control. Nowadays, the situation in the south is tense, and some of the previous handles are not easy to use to control the other side at this time. But fortunately, Wu Kai knew how to behave and had always maintained a tacit understanding with Shen Hao, and there was no "correspondence" between them.
But this time, he came to the door with a big voice and brought "gifts" to the door, not only for two cars... This is a bit thought-provoking.
After half a stick of incense, Shen Hao saw Wu Kai in military uniform in the side hall.
The smile is still there, the scars on his face are still there, but there is less depression and more excitement in his eyes, as if people are in high spirits during happy events.
After sitting down, Wu Kai smiled and said: "I haven't seen Mr. Shen for many days, and I miss him very much. Now that Wu is leaving, I have brought some local specialties and the game in the mountains that Wu personally hunted. Please ask Shen. Sir, don’t take it personally.”
"I have no shortage of food, drink, gold bricks, or game. It's inconvenient to accept it. Master Wu, please take it back. I only accept this kindness..."
Shen Hao was wary, but he had changed two cups of tea, and Wu Kai was chatting in random directions without having anything serious to say. In the end, he even said that he came to say farewell to Shen Hao, and was generous to Shen Hao before. He expressed his gratitude for the great favor of giving him the elixir to help him practice.
It wasn't until Wu Kai left that Shen Hao was forced to send him to the door due to the enthusiasm of his words. When he turned around and returned to the study, he suddenly realized that this was just to rub off on his reputation!
