In the case of the Tiansha Organization, with the few remaining remnants of their strength in the country, Bai Qi did not think that the inner ghosts lurking in Jiangxia City this time were people from the Tiansha Organization.

In the last encirclement and suppression, although he did not participate in Bai Qi, just listening to the configurations dispatched by the Three Kingdoms was enough for the Tiansha Organization to drink a good pot.

Even when they were still in the Spring and Autumn Period, they might not be able to plant the spy to the point that even Liang Ji, the Jiangxia county guard, would not dare to face his words even if he was alone with him.

The inner ghost must be a person who is a force in the country.

Bai Qi summoned Sima Cuo and told him about his meeting with Liang Ji.

Sima Cuo's expression froze, his face became a little serious, he gasped, and walked back and forth in the room.

Originally, I thought that the secret spies of the Tiansha Organization in the Northern First Army were tricky enough, but I didn't expect that now Jiangxia City is actually hiding those guys who are not dead.

"Boss, isn't there any other direction in Liang Jun's words?"

Bai Qi shook his head.

The words that Liang Ji said to himself were originally metaphorical, and the only thing he could think of at the moment was.

"That person may be in the official mansion."

Yes, if that person hadn't stayed in the official mansion, how could Liang Ji not speak up to himself when there were only the two of them, and he would have to twist and turn.

It is possible that when he was talking to Liang Ji, the person was listening outside the room.

"So, that person could be an official in the establishment?"

Hearing Sima Cuo say this, Bai Qi frowned, and he couldn't be sure.

"This matter, it is not possible to close the coffin and draw conclusions, some ordinary subordinates and officials in the county guard mansion, they are not personnel in the establishment, and they also have the opportunity to stay in the county guard mansion for a long time, according to the general, those Jiangxia officials in the establishment now seem to be able to be taken out first and not visited."

Bai Qi's view is this.

If the spies planted in Jiangxia City are officials who belong to the Nanli official establishment system, then although he has the opportunity to get close to Liang Ji, in terms of timing and time, he is not as good as those subordinates and ordinary officials who themselves serve in the county guard mansion.

The time when he talked to Liang Ji was Hai Shi, and those officials in the establishment should have already returned home from work, even if they had something urgent to report to Liang Ji, the Jiangxia county guard, then it would definitely not be an excuse to guarantee that they would be able to have such an excuse every night.

Even that person had guessed some different meanings from the beating of the drums during the day, so it stands to reason that if he wanted to visit Liang Ji at the right time, he would have to inform the subordinates of the county guard in advance.

In this way, when he was in Liang Ji's mansion, he should also hear the voice of the announcement.

But since he didn't hear it, and that person couldn't even tell if Liang Ji was listening outside the room, he was an official in the system.

For the time being, it can be ruled out.

At present, it seems that the most likely one is the subordinates of the county guard.

Because they are the only ones who have enough time and excuses, they can ensure that they are monitoring Liang Ji's every move at all times.

From Liang Ji's obscurity, Bai Qi didn't hear any directional words, so this also means that Liang Ji can't confirm who the spy of Jiangxia City is now.

"That's it, since Liang Junshou said that he would deal with this matter, let's focus on dealing with the Central Plains Coalition Army."

Bai Qi's brows have not been relaxed since the beginning, although he said this to Sima Cuo now, but Sima Cuo can still see it.

My boss, with this worried look on his face, still didn't let go.

"So be it, Derle."

Sima Coo's hands were spread out, since Bai Qi said so, then what did he care, anyway, since Liang Ji said so, this is just a reminder to them.

"By the way, boss, since Liang Junshou said so, then the matter of the garrison of the Cooperative Defense City can be done without the intervention of the Northern First Army, right?"

"More than half of the main battle veterans, heh, this combat power no longer needs these recruits of the Northern First Army to support."

Bai Qi chuckled.

More than half of the veterans in Liang Ji's words, he still waited until Liang Ji repeated it several times in a row before he came back to his senses.

Is that an ordinary pawn?

Is that old, weak, sick and disabled?

No, it was a veteran who retired from the main battle regiment and retreated from the front line to the city garrison.

This kind of combat power, Bai Qi dare not underestimate it.

More than 1,050 main battle veterans, with such a little combat power of the Northern First Army, if the two sides face each other, if the Northern First Army uses the same number of troops to face these main battle veterans, then it will definitely be defeated, and the losses of those main station veterans will definitely be very few.

More than twice the number, barely able to play a scorching battle with no score.

Only the Northern First Army, which is more than three times larger, can swallow more than 1,000 main battle veterans, and its own losses will definitely pay far more battle losses than those main station veterans to play such a record.

This combat power, what else does the Northern First Army need to assist in defense, the Northern First Army is optimistic about itself, what kind of mind is it foolish.

The reason why Bai Qi was so sure that those old soldiers were the main battle veterans was because when he was in Jinling, Ji Wuying had a secret conversation with him.

It is said that the active main battle corps in China, in order to maintain its peak combat power at all times, the age limit of ordinary soldiers is extremely strict.

If you reach the age, you will be asked to quit the ranks of the main battle legion.

This kind of thing is actually not a secret, because this matter is well known to the generals who have been mixed up for several years.

It's just that Ji Wuying also added some things that Bai Qi didn't know at that time.

That is, these veterans who retired from the main battle corps because of their age, their age can still continue to serve for some city garrisons and border troops, not to mention that their combat power itself cannot be underestimated, so these retired main battle veterans will also be assigned to the border army and some important cities in the south to serve as city garrisons according to their personal wishes.

And the north gate of Jiangxia City, Ji Wuying mentioned it by name.

It is said that the main battle veterans of Jiangxia City are the places where the veterans who have retired from the major main battle legions in the south have gone the most over the years.

Because of the belief in Jiangxia City in the hearts of these veterans of the main battle, it is still because the memory of the Jiangxia defense battle is still fresh.

These veterans of the main battle, who regard the south as their fate, have been instilled with the idea of loyalty and patriotism for most of their lives, and now although they have retired from the front line, since they can go to a city like Jiangxia City to serve as a city garrison, they are not tired of it.

At first, Bai Qi only thought that the number of Jiangxia's main battle veterans would only be about a hundred, and this kind of main battle veterans was not cabbage, how could there be more than a thousand in one Jiangxia City.

However, Liang Ji's words made Bai Qi realize that his ideas were too simple.

I couldn't have imagined that among the three thousand city garrisons in Jiangxia City, there were more than half of the main battle veterans.

This guy has done it, it seems that Liang Ji has not only reduced military spending during his years in office, but also increased a lot of military spending.

Since through tonight's meeting, Bai Qi's original view of Liang Ji's corrupt officials was directly swept away.

The main battle legion, in Bai Qi's memory, each main battle corps in Nanli spends more than twice as much as the ordinary army every year.

Now, Bai Qi doesn't know, but the cost of armaments will definitely not be lower than the cost he once remembered.

And these veterans who have retired from the main battle legion, although their armament costs will be reduced, they will also be higher than some ordinary soldiers.

Especially in a situation like Jiangxia City's current situation.

The main battle veteran here can completely make up a team of 1,000 people and a half, maybe even more.

For a veteran of the main battle like this, which has become an establishment, the cost of armaments required every year must be at least the cost of an ordinary garrison of 3,000 cities.

This Liang Ji seems to be a Jiangxia county guard with some means.

All these years have passed, Jiangxia City has recovered well, and if you look at the appearance, you will even dump Jiangxia City that was not destroyed back then, I don't know how much.

However, the tax revenue and economy in the city, from the point of view of Bai Qi, it will take two or three years for Jiangxia City to recover the previous level.

This time is already fast.

It is still because Jiangxia City has Li Yifu and Liang Ji, two county guards who are not very mediocre, that they have such a recovery speed.

Sima Cuo smashed his mouth and said with some amazement

"Obediently, this is a veteran of the main battle of one thousand and five, if this force joins the Northern First Army, then we will have more confidence to deal with the Central Plains Coalition Army."

Although Sima Cuo said so, he still knew some information in his heart, at this juncture, let alone one thousand and five, even if you ask Liang Ji for fifty main battle veterans, Liang Ji will fight with you.

Now this is not a time of peace, but at this time, it is already about to face war again, and it is difficult for the permanent army of Jiangxia City to continue to expand because of the addition of these veterans of the main station.

Fifty?

Not five.

However, Bai Qi shook his head with a smile and said interestingly

"Don't worry, after this battle is over, these more than 1,000 veterans of the main station will become a burden on Liang Ji, and if you ask him for it again, he will generously give it to the Northern First Army."

Hearing Bai Qi say this, Sima Cuo was a little stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of Bai Qi's words, and he didn't understand why Bai Qi had the confidence to say this.

"Boss, what do you say?"

However, after Bai Qi heard Sima Cuo's question, he glanced at Sima Cuo and said leisurely to him as if complaining

"Silly you, if the Central Plains Alliance Army is repulsed again this time, how much vitality do you think they still have in that place for them to continue to lose?"

When Bai Qi said this, his position was completely from the identity of Liang Ji as a county guard.

Through the main account book of Xinyang County collected by Gan Mao, some clues can be seen from Bai Qi.

On the account book of the county lord of Xinyang, the income of her property this year was clearly recorded, plus some other information found by Gan Mao.

The annual income of the county lord of Xinyang can be compared to the annual income of a county seat.

And even if Jiangxia City is added to the county seat in Jiangxia County, there are only five county seats.

Before Jiangxia City's current finances, it could be regarded as an important town, but now just looking at the finances, it's just like that.

Therefore, relying on the finances and taxes of these five county towns, there are more than 1,050 main battle veterans, plus maybe the number of veterans of this main station will be more in the future.

This is not conducive to the future development of Jiangxia County.

Therefore, after the end of this war, the cost of armaments for the veterans of the main battle will become a headache for Liang Ji, the Jiangxia County guard.

First of all, according to the current point of view, this war is over, and if the Central Plains coalition army is defeated again, then their vitality will be greatly damaged.

The previous war had already caused many countries in the Central Plains Coalition to lose their countries because of the defeat in the war, so even if they still won this war, the gains they could achieve in Nanli would only be a drop in the bucket for them.

What's more, if you can really get some benefits from Nanli, then it will only be a country like Zhao, Wei and Han, and the rest of the Central Plains countries can only eat the soup left over by the three countries.

Winning this battle will only strengthen the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, and the other Central Plains states will only be better than nothing.

But if you lose, it's different.

In the last war, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han simply sent some small troops to participate in the war, and the final defeat did not have much impact on the three kingdoms.

But this time it's different, this time the Central Plains coalition army of Zhao, Wei and Han The armies of the three kingdoms act as the backbone, at least Wei Wushu and Beihai Division, two elites who have some fame in the world, have been sent out, if they all stay on this battlefield.

Then the combat power of Zhao, Wei and Han will also be a huge weakening.

What's more, in this war, Nanli never thought that he would lose.

In the past, if he dealt with the Central Plains Coalition Army, he might have been a little uncertain about the country, but after making a deal with the Northern Gen State, he got the iron cavalry support of the Northern Gen State.

Looking at it now, for this battle, Nanli's goal will only be how to win in order to maximize the benefits and lose? Impossible.

If this battle is won, then at least twenty years of peace in Jiangxia County can be exchanged.

Twenty years of peace, this is almost the succession of an era.

Let's not mention what will happen in 20 years, just talk about Liang Ji.

Twenty years later, would he be able to stay in this position in Jiangxia County for twenty years?

No, he Liang Ji is not a mediocre talent, in twenty years, he can already be promoted and transferred out of Jiangxia.

This is seen from afar.

If you look closely, after Nanli won this battle, it would be difficult for Liang Ji to get military merits like Li Yifu and directly have a chance to be promoted, so he still has to sit in this position in Jiangxia County for a while.

has no military merits, which means that Liang Ji has to rely on his political achievements in exchange for his promotion and fortune.

However, in peacetime, it is still necessary to spend a large amount of money every year on armaments to support veterans of the main war who are useless in peacetime.

Is it a good deal?

Obviously, this is a loss-making trade.

So when the battle ends, for Liang Ji, this more than 1,000 veteran of the main battle will only become a burden on his promotion and political performance.

This hot potato, he wished he had thrown it out early.

It's just a moment.

If it is time to go to war now, it is indeed true that these main battle veterans will be a talisman for Liang Ji and Jiangxia City, and if Bai Qi asks Liang Ji for these people now, it will definitely be impossible.

However, when the war is over, maybe there is no need for Bai Qi to open his mouth, just the intention that Bai Qi showed in the county guard mansion during the day will let Liang Ji take the initiative to invite Bai Qi, and then hand over these main battle veterans to Bai Qi's hands.

After listening to Bai Qi's somewhat impatient explanation, Sima Cuo reacted, and a touch of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

This is more than 1,000 and fifteen soldiers who can be compared to the first-line army of the Southern Detachment, and for generals like Sima Cuo, this kind of help is more practical than any gold and silver financial reports.

The joy in my heart can't be concealed at all.

Bai Qi glanced at him coldly, pouted, and said helplessly

"You guy, what's so happy now, what? So confident that you can win the Central Plains Coalition Army? If you were so confident, you would have been asked to continue north with a group of people now. ”

"Don't don't be the boss, hey, hey, we can't help it."

Sima Cuo waved his hand again and again, how dare he, isn't this just unbearable.

"Okay, what about the white-faced scholar? Hasn't he been in the army all these days? Call him over, Ben will have a task for him. ”

"Holo."

After Sima made a mistake, he quickly turned around and ran out of the house.

Before the Northern First Army was drawn from Jinling, the white-faced scholar obtained a secret edict from Emperor Lidi through Ji Wuying, and obtained the identity of entering the Northern First Army to go to the front.

And this matter, after getting the approval from Emperor Li, Ji Wuying immediately found Bai Qi and told him about it.

How to say that this is also the addition of a top combat power monk, this is a big help, if Bai Qi is used properly, the cultivation of the white-faced scholar may also affect the direction of a battle, and it may even affect the outcome of the battle.

After the white-faced scholar entered the room in an off-white robe, he nodded slightly at Bai Qi.

He wants to make meritorious service for Nanli and then return to Nanli through meritorious service, but this does not affect his ability to lose his face at will.

He was a top monk, and there were only a few people in the empire who could make him salute.

Even if Bai Qi is the commander of the Northern First Army, he does not have this qualification, let alone Bai Qi is not nominally the commander of the Northern First Army.

And it is also obvious that among the few people who left the south, they were not in vain.

Bai Qi didn't care about this, he naturally saw it.

If you want to expect a long-established top combat power monk to salute him or something, it's better to dream, there is everything in the dream.

"I don't know what happened when General Bai called me in the middle of the night?"

Bai Qi smiled slightly, waved his hand to make Sima Co retreat, and then pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the white-faced scholar to sit down.

After the white-faced scholar sat down, Bai Qi spoke

"The purpose of your trip, the old man Ji Wuying has already told General Ben, and General Ben has no objection, but if you are used as a soldier, the progress of the exploits you have achieved on the battlefield will still be slow for your purpose."

The white-faced scholar nodded again, he knew about it.

The two armies fought, and he was not a commander of the army, and his role on the battlefield was only to behead the enemy general, but this kind of thing, the Central Plains Coalition Army is not a fool, once or twice is okay, the white-faced scholar but whenever he shows up a few times on the battlefield, the Central Plains Coalition Army will know that there is a top combat strength monk on the Nanli side, and then will make some countermeasures against him.

At that point, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything more.

The power of one person is very insignificant, and the impact it can have on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people is very insignificant.

To tell the truth, if he killed several generals of the Central Plains Coalition Army, he could also accomplish his original goal through this feat.

But now it's different, after the white-faced scholar learned some details about this battle from Ji Wuying's mouth, intentionally or unintentionally.

The white-faced scholar knew that his goal this time was to make great achievements, not just a simple merit that was enough to return to Nanli.

Unless he can behead any of the leaders of the Central Plains Alliance, it will be difficult for him to achieve his goal by relying on his exploits on the battlefield alone.

It is not easy to kill the lord of an army in the midst of ten thousand armies.

So at this time, it is necessary for Bai Qi, the actual commander of the Northern First Army, to arrange tasks for himself.

"It just so happens that there is a task right now, General Ben thought about it and found that the best person to carry out this task is you, how about it, are you willing to take it?"

Bai Qi licked his lips, he didn't say what the task was, but after saying this, he patiently waited for the white-faced scholar's answer.

"Yes."

The white-faced scholar did not hesitate, and immediately answered Bai Qi.

"Okay."

Bai Qi suddenly chuckled, then paused, and continued to speak to the white-faced scholar

"Now there is a spy planted by one force in Jiangxia City, General Ben suspects that the spy is on the county guard's mansion, Liang Junshou has already passed the gas with General Ben, the existence of this spy is very likely to be a traitor who wants to change the direction of the war by a domestic force, Liang Junshou He doesn't know who the spy is, this general is not easy to interfere in this matter, and there are very few people in the Northern First Army who can perform this task, and if you come to carry it out, relying on your cultivation, this general is still very relieved."

After listening to Bai Qi's words, the white-faced scholar's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, the white-faced scholar finally replied

"I'll take it."
