Zhang Xiaowu returned to Jixiangfang uneasily and came to the Yinyiwei Yamen. Many old subordinates were called urgently, and everyone was confused. Zhang Xiaowu had a natural judgment of danger. He felt that the Western Region soldiers in Wuguan County
It will never be that simple. There must be a shocking secret hidden behind it. Therefore, for safety reasons, Zhang Xiaowu immediately ordered the 15,000-strong Silver Guard to assemble urgently and all of them arrived.
Now the number of silver-clad guards has increased to 15,000, including the original 8,000 ghost guards, 3,000 snow guards brought by Hu Li from Xueguan, and 4,000 northern refugees recruited after inspection. This
Fifteen thousand people were Zhang Xiaowu's life-saving asset, and he was well equipped with the silver-clad guards, including armor, horses, crossbows and crossbows. They were the most powerful armed force in Longdu.
Seeing everyone's confused looks, Zhang Xiaowu then informed Wuguan County about the three thousand soldiers from the Western Regions hiding in Wuguan County, which aroused a strong reaction from everyone. With such an army hidden under their noses, no one could sit back and wait for death. This incident reflected
A more serious problem has arisen, that is the life and death of the Silver Guard.
"Needless to say, they also exist to deal with us. Except for us, there is no need for the Western Region soldiers to hide in Wuguan County, let alone conceal their whereabouts. The people in Longdu always regard us as outsiders, and we are not to them
, not friends, but enemies." Kang Tianen sneered. He came with Hu Sanwan and had been silent before, but now his words were like lighting a pot of oil.
When the fire was turned on, everyone suddenly became angry.
Although they have been in Longdu for two years, they are still outsiders to everything in Longdu. In the minds of many officials, Zhang Xiaowu and Yin Yiwei belong to the powerful army seizing power. Once they are in any danger or crisis, all
Everyone will immediately join in the "crusade against Zhang".
The appearance of these three thousand soldiers from the Western Regions may indicate everyone's attitude. While they are enjoying the convenience brought by Zhang Xiaowu to the country and the harmony and prosperity brought by Silver Guards to Longdu, they never forget to take action against Silver Guards.
.
"These bastards!" Bao Yin yelled, "Who are they?"
"They must be eliminated."
"Yes, get rid of them."
"Give them a little color."
Everyone started arguing. Ruan Qingwen and Wu Song looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The appearance of these three thousand soldiers from the Western Regions was indeed too strange.
Guan Xiang said: "No matter what, we must not allow any force that threatens us to exist quietly."
"Sir, I suggest that we send troops to eliminate the rebellion immediately." Cao Li stood up and said, "Since General Chen has discovered them, they may also be aware of General Chen, so I suggest that we must take action immediately."
"Yes, strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster." Hu Li also nodded and said, "Whether they are rebels or not, but being able to hide in Wuguan County without anyone noticing will definitely be of great use. We must first
Eradicate them all.”
"Everyone! Have you ever thought about why they are hiding in Wuguan County?" Wu Song stood up and said, "The Xuanwu Army is stationed in Wuguan County. How can they not know about all the big and small things in Wuguan County? So, in this Western Region,
The soldiers must have something to do with the Xuanwu Army. Moreover, Bian Wen, the commander of the Xuanwu Army, has always been cunning and cunning. I am afraid that he is thinking of something else at this time. Sir, this person must be guarded against."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "Therefore, to destroy the Western Region soldiers, we need to be quick, we need to take them by surprise, we need to make Bian Wen defenseless and kill them with one blow, and we must not be sloppy." After hearing this, everyone suddenly became excited. It seems that the general is determined to eradicate these Western Region soldiers.
Soldiers shocked the government and the public. Zhang Xiaowu recruited people
Opening the map, Chen Guanxi asked Chen Guanxi to draw the location of the Western Region soldiers. He saw that it was a mountain valley with a remote location and was indeed difficult to find. He looked around at everyone and asked: "How can we destroy them as quickly as possible?
The soldiers from the Western Regions are also elite members of the Qinglong Army. If we kill them directly, I'm afraid both sides will suffer losses."
Everyone frowned. Zhang Xiaowu saw that Wu Song seemed to be smiling, so he nodded to him. Wu Song immediately said: "Everyone, it is winter now, the air is dry and cold, the north wind is biting, and the soldiers from the Western Regions are hiding in the mountains. So.
We only need to light fires around the Western Region soldiers and wait for the fire to burn them all to death. This way, we will not be aware of them, so we won't have to waste any effort."
"Good idea."
"So cruel."
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaowu clapped his hands and said: "Hu Li, Cui Qilang, Qu Ming, and Chen Guanxi will follow the order. Hu Li will be the commander-in-chief and Cui Qilang will be the deputy-general. The four of you will set off immediately with five thousand silver-clad guards.
Chen Guanxi will lead the way and go out at night and day, and attack the Western Regions Army Camp in Wuguan County at night tomorrow night. The specific time and method of the night attack are determined by you. After destroying the Western Regions soldiers, return to Longdu immediately without any mistakes."
"Here."
"Leave now."
"Here."
The four of them immediately took the order and left.
Everyone became excited. After less than a year of peace, they were about to go to war again. Everyone was gearing up, but some were worried about their families. After all, many of the Silver Guards now settled down in Longdu, married wives and had children. The men must have taken root.
Therefore, although the Silver Guards gathered urgently tonight, only 12,000 people have been gathered so far, and another 3,000 people are still gathering one after another, and some people have even not shown up at all.
Wusong reminded: "Sir, we need local border information. This old fox never knows when he will stab us in the back."
Zhang Xiaowu paced back and forth: "Wusong, you are right, we have to guard against border guards, but the one we need to guard against more is the Jin Yiwei. Wen Ruyu, you are the commander of the Jin Yiwei, what do you think about the Jin Yiwei?"
Is there anything wrong with it?"
Wen Ruyu came out of the queue and said while thinking: "To tell you what my lord, I really didn't pay attention to the domestic situation. I was responsible for the intelligence of foreign countries in the Jinyiwei, so I didn't know anything about the domestic news. But the Jinyiwei
It has always been monolithic, and even if I am the second-in-command of Jin Yiwei, it is difficult to get into it. It can be said that when I am in Jin Yiwei, it is like someone who was suddenly thrust into Silver Yiwei."
Ruan Qingwen and others laughed bitterly, but everyone knew that Wen Ruyu was telling the truth. Jinyiwei is a hereditary system. Many of them grew up together. It is indeed difficult for outsiders to interfere with them, let alone outsiders. Jinyiwei
Wei's work. This relationship has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that as intelligence officers, they trust each other and will not be deceived and bribed by outsiders. The disadvantage is that they become more bloated and have lower capabilities.
And Wen Ruyu, an outsider, has been the commander of the Golden Guards for ten months, but now she doesn't even know how many subordinates, spies, and secret agents she has.
"So, you must never trust Jin Yiwei." Zhang Xiaowu said to everyone with a sneer.
