Zhou Wen also sighed: "The royal bloodline of the Augustus Empire is really weird. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Emperor Yixian's weak body was able to give birth to more than a dozen children with lush branches and leaves.

"There are five or six pairs of the dozen princes and princesses of the first emperor, and the eldest crown prince is only nineteen or twenty years old, but the youngest was born before his death.

But these princes and princesses, who are almost young children, began to learn how to lay out long-term plans, how to put on masks and behave as people, and how to quietly frame and win over others.

Like the Seven Princes who we thought were already puppets, they were able to pull a group of people under Kate's nose without being discovered by Kate, which is really more terrifying than the old fox, these royal people are not human! ”

Zhao Hu nodded speechlessly.

When Zhao Hu returned to the Overseer's Mansion, a cipher began to report the latest information to Zhao Hu.

"Lord, the imperial capital of the crown prince, sent eighty percent of the imperial capital's troops to three legions, after a battle, at this moment, the imperial capital has not only really controlled the scope of the imperial capital during the unified empire, but also doubled the area, it can be said that the imperial capital is already the crown prince's sphere of influence for thousands of miles."

"Acting so fast? In this way, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the legion trained by the marshal is still very good, and it seems that after this battle report spreads all over the world, the prestige of the imperial capital will reach a higher level. Peter stroked his beard and sighed.

"What about the losses on both sides?" Zhao Hu asked out loud.

"The imperial capital lost less than one division in battle, and the other warlords were all scattered."

The secret guard's words made everyone present can't help but exclaim, the imperial capital is about to move, and the surrounding warlords have long been prepared, but they didn't expect that both sides are well prepared, and the strength of the troops is not far apart, it is really amazing to play such a result!

Hearing this, Zhao Hu looked at the officers under his command and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The biggest difference between himself and the imperial capital is not in his status, let alone in equipment, materials and money, but in the officer level of both sides!

Of course, the officers on their side were promoted through their military exploits, but their own troops had never experienced more than 100,000 battles, and they were still suitable to be officers at the level of brigade commanders, but they were not qualified for division commanders and above.

You must know that in the previous unified empire, there were thousands of officers above the rank of major general alone, and tens of thousands of colonels. Although the empire is now divided, there are at least hundreds of generals and thousands of officers in the imperial capital, and there is also an imperial military academy that can provide a steady stream of alternate officers.

And these generals in the imperial capital were not appointed by themselves by these warlords, or they were picked up by one step, and they all climbed up step by step in strict accordance with the promotion regulations of the imperial army. It can be said that except for a few who took refuge in the powerful and became generals by being promoted by the powerful, all the others were people with outstanding military achievements.

A small war may make no difference, but when it comes to a big battle, as long as the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is not large, a large number of officers and high-quality generals can decide the outcome of the war.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu couldn't help asking: "Who are the commanders of the Imperial Capital Legion in this battle?" ”

The secret guard replied: "The commander of the First Legion, General Hake, the Second Legion, General Chen Jun, the Third Legion, and the third Legion, most of the remaining legions are composed of the Praetorian Guards and the City Guards, and this time it is this Praetorian Legion that stays in the imperial capital. The post of Commander of the Praetorian Guard was held by the Crown Prince. ”

Hearing these names, the officers under Zhao Hu's command were a little stunned, if they wanted to talk about the matter of the imperial marshal and the prime minister, most of them, who were born in the Southeast Peninsula, were very clear, but they were smeared by the imperial generals, and they had never heard of them.

Don't blame them for being ill-informed, this is a strange problem of the empire, that is to say, the empire has no famous generals.

The habit of the empire is that after a general has made a great feat, he will be promoted to a commendation and then transferred back to the marshal's palace in the imperial capital, and he will never have the opportunity to establish a second great feat.

As for whether this will weaken the combat capability of the troops? The empire doesn't care, the imperial army pursues a model in which all soldiers and middle- and low-level officers are elite, and generals are just fine.

And the empire, a large country with hundreds of legions and a total strength of more than 30 million troops in the whole country during its strongest period, was not afraid of causing turmoil by suppressing general-level officers and making them unable to establish meritorious deeds.

And because the empire relied on this trick and the imperial army rank system to prevent the emergence of warlords, it was beaten to the head by the enemy, and the empire at most singled out a meritorious general to lead the army to fight, and if it failed, it was replaced by another one, and it succeeded in recalling the imperial capital.

"The commander of the first corps and the commander of the third corps have heard of it, but the commander of the second corps, General Chen Jun, has never heard of it, what kind of background is he?" Peter, who can be said to know the chief civil servant of the empire best, said out loud with a very eye-catching eye.

The secret guard said a little helplessly: "Since the imperial military registration information was completely destroyed, I don't know his details, I only know that he was compiled by the Marshal's Mansion." ”

"Doesn't that mean there is no information at all? Because except for the Praetorian Guard and the City Guard system, all the generals are compiled by the Marshal's Office. Peter shook his head.

Hearing this, the secret guard immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhao Hu waved his hand and said: "Pay more attention to this general, one general can actually be ranked with two generals as the commander of the corps, and the number is still second, it is enough to show that this person is not simple." ”

After Zhou Wen and the secret guards received the order, Zhao Hu asked, "How is Kate's side?" ”

"Vigilance is still maintained, and troops are frequently moved, but not a single order has been given to prepare for war." The secret guard said.

"What the hell is this Kate doing, we've wasted so much time back and forth, and our troops have been waiting for him to arrive!"

The military attachés present vented their dissatisfaction.

After knowing that Kate gathered the manpower and material resources of a province to prepare to give Zhao Hujun a ruthless blow, and Zhao Hujun gave up halfway through the military in the eastern part of the unified province, he immediately aimed his venting at Kate.

You must know that during this time, they forcibly oppressed the murderous intent caused by the battle, but waiting for this Kate to not come to the door is really annoying and frustrating.

Zhou Wen suddenly said: "Lord, everyone, although the secret guards did not find out when Kate would attack, under the close monitoring of the secret guards, they found a situation.

"One is that Kate consciously simplifies when she gives orders, and more directly invites cronies to whisper and then let cronies convey orders, for fear of being heard by outsiders, and strangely enough, Kate also uses whispers when only Kate and his cronies exist.

"What's more, Kate has guards on shift around the clock. Even when sleeping, there are people who stay in front of the bed.

"From this, we can conclude that Kate has learned of the existence of such a secret agent system as the Lord, otherwise it cannot be explained that Kate is so careful on any occasion."

As soon as they heard that Zhao Hujun's most important method had been discovered, everyone's hearts jumped, and it was difficult to inquire about information in this way.

Moreover, once the other party knows Zhao Hujun's method of probing intelligence, he can pretend to mysteriously discuss a wrong military action, which is enough to make Zhao Hujun unable to eat and go around.

Or deliberately pretending to inadvertently say the name of a senior official of Zhao Hujun, it is enough to make Zhao Hujun's high-level suspicious, and it is not clear whether this person is an undercover agent or the other party's counter-plot.

In this way, not to mention relying on intelligence analysis to take advantage, it is good luck not to be used by others to rub oil with fake news.

"How did Kate know about the existence of our secret guards?" Zhao Hu frowned and asked.

Although Zhao Hujun knew that Zhao Hu had a mysterious intelligence team in his hands, no one would be as careful as Kate.

It is generally known that the enemy has a very powerful intelligence collection system, at most, it is to strictly prevent leaks and investigate the two tricks of moles, and he will not behave like Kate at all.

Kate's actions make it clear that she knows that this group of spies can be invisible and haunted! Without exact information, Kate simply wouldn't have been so cautious.

Zhou Wen glanced at everyone, leaned forward and whispered: "Lord, with Kate's actions, it shows that he doesn't really understand the ability of the secret guard, and it can be determined from this that the person who leaked the secret either knows nothing about the secret guard, or deliberately does not tell the truth.

The first fifty percent was a mole fifty percent that Kate sent someone to inquire about, and the latter one said that the person who leaked the secret was a super traitor with great ambitions, otherwise he would not have given half of the information. ”

Zhou Wen whispered to Zhao Hu at this high-level meeting, which seemed very rude, but everyone, including Peter, did not have any dissatisfaction.

Over the years, they have long known that Zhou Wen is a character who only cares about Zhao Hu's thoughts, if Zhou Wen only has this problem, even if Zhao Hu favors Zhou Wen again, the bad-eyed guys still dare to use all kinds of light and dark methods to get Zhou Wen out of power.

But everyone knows that Zhou Wen is the top martial arts master in Zhao Hujun's army, and no one in Zhao Hujun's sphere of influence has ever heard of anyone who can compete with Zhou Wen.

Powerful force and unsympathetic character, plus Zhou Wen was one of the first five people to follow Zhao Hu, and the relationship with the other four people was very good, so good that they advanced and retreated together. And the other four are also strong forces in Zhao Hu's forces, and the five of them are all in the same voice, and provoking one is provoking five, so it is not a big matter of life and death, and no one wants to provoke Zhou Wen at all.
