The person in charge of the Forbidden Army is the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army. His position is the same as that of the Commander-in-Chief of the four major front armies. It is the real power position of the leader in the military system. It is only slightly worse than the general manager of each road who has temporary personnel during special periods.
However, although it is a military system that is only used, in fact, everything from equipment to military pay for the Imperial Army is raised by allocating money from the emperor's inner treasury, and never allocates money from the national treasury. This is the same as Xuan Qingwei.
It is precisely because the emperor is raising them that the Forbidden Army and the Xuanqing Guard are called the emperor's personal army.
In addition, because food and salary have nothing to do with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War has no say in the command and appointment of personnel. Even some actions of the Forbidden Army do not need to be reported to the Ministry of War, except for special circumstances.
When he first saw the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army in front of him, a flash of surprise flashed in Shen Hao's eyes. Because in the officialdom of the Jingjiu Dynasty, which liked to pay attention to "face", he had rarely seen high-ranking officials as short and ugly as this governor.
At four and a half feet tall, he is about the same height as some half-grown children. (About 1.5 meters)
The ugly face is not Shen Hao's nonsense, but it is really extremely ugly, as if the facial features are distorted and growing, and finally grow into an aesthetic black hole.
But this will not arouse Shen Hao's prejudice. It's not that he admires some nonsense "spiritual beauty is better than external beauty", but he keenly felt the strange and depressing feeling from this governor that he had only experienced in Pang Ban, Duan Jue, Li Shuyang and others. He knew This person with a terrible figure and appearance is a great monk in the Xuanhai Realm!
Beauty and ugliness are nothing in front of strength? Just as the other party holds a high position, no one dares to talk about his appearance behind his back. This is all due to his own strong strength.
"Your Majesty Shen Hao, I have met the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Hahaha... Mr. Shen, please don't be polite. You and I are His Majesty's soldiers and we are one family. I am also an old friend of Pang Pang. We both stayed in Fenghong Villa before and we were next door to each other, so we are one family. There’s no need for people to talk to each other!”
He thought that monks in the Xuanhai Realm were all very arrogant and cold people, but Shen Hao realized that he was wrong. At least the first impression given to him by this person in front of him was not cold, and even had a very familiar business atmosphere, which made him He unconsciously thought of a big bald head...
The governor's surname was Yang, and he was from a royal family. He had been cultivating at Fenghong Villa for many years, and then entered the army. He had served in all four front armies, and had served as the deputy governor of the front army. Moreover, he also performed brilliantly in the barbarian war when the previous emperor Yang Jian was on the throne. Later Yang Jian promoted him and appointed him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army until now.
Patting Shen Hao's shoulder hard, Yang Yi enthusiastically asked Shen Hao to sit down in his big tent, and then exchanged a few words, to the effect that Shen Hao was outstanding in Xuanqing Guard, and he had already done so. I heard that Shen Hao, with his extraordinary talent, will reach far in cultivation and get a glimpse of the true meaning of the great road...
Shen Hao was made speechless by the talkative Yang Yi, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and get to the point.
Although Yang Yi was very enthusiastic in his words and not as cold as a monk in the Xuanhai Realm, when he talked about business, he seemed very cautious and focused.
Marching and fighting was Yang Yi's job. After Shen Hao relayed the plan of Fenghong Villa, he immediately thought about it carefully in front of the map in the big tent. After a long time, he gave Shen Hao some revision suggestions, and finally left A copy of Qianli Note was given to Shen Hao for further communication.
Contrary to what Shen Hao thought at first, Yang Yi did not show any aversion to the Fenghong Villa plan, nor was he dissatisfied at all with his own imperial army being unable to serve as the leading force. Instead, he acted as if it was a matter of course.
Shen Hao felt a little enlightened. Perhaps this was "consciousness". Although the Forbidden Army was different from the Front Army, it had many more methods targeting monks. But after all, it is not all monks. In the war against the second-rate sect, it is indeed necessary to do some errands to assist the attack and not to show up easily. Otherwise, the loss will be too great and the gain will not be worth the loss.
What did you say? Professional people do professional things, don't mess around.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will arrange for people to go to the surrounding military stations for marching exercises. There is a teleportation array there that can quickly deliver troops to the destination city, and then the march can be accelerated to catch up with the encirclement battle without being caught. Notice the movement.
In addition, please rest assured, Lord Shen, and also ask Lord Shen to tell Elder Duan that this time the Forbidden Army will mobilize 30,000 elite troops, of which the top combat strength will not be less than 15,000! "
The so-called "top combat power" is actually the "treasure-armored soldiers" that Shen Hao had been thinking about before he came. It seems that Yang Yi has indeed invested money to complete this collaborative task.
Although Shen Hao was not involved in the specific planning and arrangement, he could still calculate the time for the attack and understood that the method Yang Yi said was indeed feasible.
Afterwards, Shen Hao returned to Fengri City, found Duan Jue and the others at the Black Flag Camp and showed them Yang Yi's reply. Then I used Qianliyin to make many adjustments to some details of the plan overnight. The plan will be officially finalized before dawn.
"Master Shen, please set a time."
Shen Hao did not refuse, thought for a moment, and said, "How about we start at dawn in three days?"
"Three days later? October 23rd?"
"Yes, what does Elder Duan think?" Shen Hao didn't want to drag the matter out any further. Pang Ban had already reminded him when he was in command of the yamen today. If these matters continued to drag on, maybe Pang Ban would really have some objections to him, which was not a good thing.
Of course, Shen Hao hoped to understand these things as soon as possible, which was exactly what Duan Jue wanted, so he nodded and said: "Three days are enough, that is the dawn of October 23rd!"
"good!"
After the news was settled, Shen Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Later, I watched the performance of Maple Red Villa and the Forbidden Army. I don’t know if they are as confident as they showed that they can deal with four second-rate sects in one go, and while "cleaning them up", they must do their best. Keep the time within two days to prevent the sect from overreacting to the matter.
In a nutshell: fast and hard.
Three days is the time for the Forbidden Army to make arrangements in advance, and it is also the time for Fenghong Villa to make final adjustments.
According to the plan, this time it will still be in the form of a surprise attack. They will not give any greeting to the opponent first, but will kill them when they come to the door. Moreover, they will build a large formation outside the opponent's mountain protection formation to try not to let anyone escape from the opponent.
The 30,000 forbidden troops mainly coordinate the attack, stick to the outer confining formation, and encircle and suppress the scattered sect monks. The main attack is still the matter of Fenghong Villa.
Another point that made Shen Hao stunned was that there were a total of twelve Xuanhai realm monks sent by Fenghong Villa this time, as well as two ancestors mentioned by Duan Jue.
