The door of the director's office was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then a huge man with a frightened look appeared at the door of the room.

Hua Qianqiu glanced at him, and then said to Guan Lin and Luo Cheng, the two deputy directors sitting at the desk, "Okay, let's talk about it here today." We are in close communication with us on the follow-up progress of the roller operation and will keep you informed. ”

Guan Lin and Luo Cheng nodded, packed up their things and got up to leave. When they were about to go out, both of them didn't seem to see the big man at all, and only passed by him gently.

When the door closed again, Hua Qianqiu said, "What's the matter?" Got so panicked. ”

Da Zhuang stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Director, it's not good, the Shadow Project is in trouble!" ”

"Don't worry, take your time." Hua Qianqiu picked up the teacup: "You sit down first and try to be as calm as possible in everything, okay?" ”

Da Zhuang pulled out the chair, and before his butt touched his seat, he said: "I just received a report from the shadow observers, when they were monitoring Zhao Liang last night, they were suddenly inexplicably involved in a large-scale battle, and at present, two people are seriously injured, three people are slightly injured, and the losses are heavy!" ”

Hua Qianqiu couldn't help but stop drinking water, and was stunned for a long time before asking, "Large-scale battle?" How large? ”

"I don't know, but at least a few thousand." "According to the observer's description, there are regular armies on both sides, typical of fierce battles with cold weapons. The five of them happened to be in the heart of the battle between the two sides, and without warning beforehand, they didn't even have a place to hide, so they were wrapped up in a daze. Fortunately, these people are all elites of the Intelligence Department of the Internal Investigation Bureau, and they are agile and good at disguise, so they escaped from death, otherwise they ......"

Da Da Zhuang didn't say the words "the whole army was annihilated", but Hua Qianqiu could hear it, but at this time he was more concerned about another question: "What about Zhao Liang?" Where is Zhao Liangren? ”

"I don't know," Da Zhuang hesitated, "At that time, the Shadow Observer was only concerned about running for his life, and he couldn't keep an eye on the target at all. Besides, the chaotic situation where thousands of troops are fighting in one place, even if you want to find Zhao Liang, it is impossible. ”

"it!" Hua Qianqiu scolded: "He won't die, right?" ”

Da Zhuang swallowed his bitter saliva, and instead of answering this question, which even he didn't know the answer to, he asked for instructions: "Director, the wounded observer asks if they can withdraw as soon as possible, that place is too dangerous, and the two seriously injured can't hold on for long." ”

Hua Qianqiu was stunned for a moment and said, "No way, you still order them to withdraw immediately, and they must not be sacrificed there." Also, can we send someone over again? ”

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult," Da Zhuang shook his head, "The intelligence department of the Internal Investigation Bureau still has strength, but it may not meet the conditions for crossing." And when they passed, they had to try to find Zhao Liang again, and they didn't know how long it would take to do it. After all......"

He hesitated for a moment, then continued: "After all, the Internal Investigation Bureau is not an anti-penetration bureau, and the personnel lack the necessary experience to perform tasks in different time and space. ”

"Then let Zhao Liang really become a broken kite?" Hua Qianqiu's brows were tightly locked, and she said to herself, "Is there no other way?" ”

Da Zhuang replied: "There is another way, that is, to restore the communication with Zhao Liang immediately."

System. As long as he has a reply, we will be able to keep abreast of the current situation. ”

Hua Qianqiu leaned his head back in his chair, and his tone was slightly disappointed: "Alas, when I first made the Shadow Project, I considered the possibility of an accident for the observers, so I sent five people at once. I thought that no matter how unlucky I was, I wouldn't be all hung up at the same time, right? But who would have thought ......"

Da Zhuang comforted him and said, "Director, don't blame yourself too much. This is often the case with time-travel missions, where the uncertainties are far greater than the real world we live in, and the corresponding reinforcements and adjustments are also extremely complicated due to the limitations of time and space. So, the agents of the anti-piercing bureau ...... It's not easy to do. ”

Hua Qianqiu was silent for a while, then suddenly stared at Da Zhuang and asked, "Do you think Zhao Liang's communication should be restored now?" ”

Da Zhuang nodded without hesitation: "I think it's necessary." Once the observers are withdrawn, it means that there is no eyeline to continue to monitor his movements, and the quarantine status is of course meaningless. On the contrary, now Zhao Liang's life and death safety is something we must consider. ”

"How are Yang Fan and Zhang Lei?" Hua Qianqiu suddenly asked another question.

"After these two people were secretly sent back, they were transferred to the Internal Investigation Bureau to stand by." Da Zhuang immediately replied: "At present, they only know that they are cooperating with us on a top-secret mission, and nothing else is clear. ”

Hua Qianqiu pondered for a moment and said, "You arranged for Yang Fan and Zhang Lei to re-travel back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and let them change the task of eradicating the No. 2303 traverser to find Zhao Liang and secretly observe his behavior. On the surface, after an accident disguised as a flying plane, the two and Zhao Liang were unexpectedly separated. As for the specific details of the story, you managed to weave them up well. ”

Da Zhuang asked, "What about the communication connection?" Do you want to restore Zhao Liang's device? ”

"It's good to keep the communication between those two people," Hua Qianqiu said, "Regardless of whether Zhao Liang is alive or dead now, we must temporarily maintain his desperate isolation state, and only in this way can I figure out his details." ”

Hua Qianqiu let out a long sigh and continued: "Although I can be sure that Zhao Liang is not a traitor planted by the Shenxia Organization in the Anti-Penetration Bureau, the secrets on his body also threaten the security of the institution. I, on the other hand, had to solve the puzzle. ”

He nodded silently, and then said, "Director, I understand. I immediately went to arrange for Yang Fan and Zhang Lei to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”

Just when Hua Qianqiu and Da Da Zhuang were discussing how to carry out the next move, Zhao Liang, who was thousands of years away, had already embarked on his new job.

Due to the imminent conflict between the two major factions of the Beifu Army, Tao Siyuan acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately transferred one hundred scout foot soldiers from the camp in accordance with Liu Gaozhi's order and handed them over to Zhao Liang, the captain of Duwang, to command.

The so-called scouts were originally people who were specially responsible for observing the enemy's situation. "Shangshu Yugong" has a sparse record: "Scouts are dangerous and serve thieves." During the Qin period, the Kanren scout was condemned to a lighter sentence, as written in the "Qin Jian: Questions and Answers on the Law": "When you are guilty of slandering people for the Hou (waiting) crime, can you (what) be discussed? When the patience is the secretary. ”

Qin law stipulates that Hou is not allowed to be appointed as the official Zuo, Shi and Forbidden Yuan Xian Thief (patrol and thief soldiers), and since Qin, there has been no such punishment, and Du Wang Scout gradually evolved into an important force in the army.

Degree of Scout in the ancient army

In terms of establishment, it is mainly a mobile and flexible scout unit responsible for reconnoitring the enemy's situation and countering the enemy's reconnaissance.

But because the division of labor in ancient times was not so detailed, the scouts did not just scout the enemy. For example, in ordinary land warfare, they also have to go to the vicinity of the battlefield to inquire about information, and draw up military maps about the topography and geographical environment, potable water sources, and where there are accessible roads.

This basic information can assist the commanders and generals of the army in making decisions on whether it is necessary to arrange for the vanguard troops to open roads and build bridges in the mountains, how to avoid the enemy's main forces and passes, and whether they can raid the enemy's weak links, and so on.

On top of that, scouts are sometimes tasked with tackling enemy outposts, sneaking behind enemy lines, stealing important documents, or assassinating enemy leaders.

As a result, Scouts tend to be more proficient in combat and weaponry than ordinary warriors, and must be very good at concealment.

From this point of view, the ancient Duwang scouts are like special forces in the modern world.

In the Beifu Army, Duwang scouts were divided into two types: infantry and cavalry.

Cavalry scouts, often referred to as scouts, are responsible for leading the way and alerting the surrounding enemy when the army is marching. In addition, when long-range reconnaissance is required, more mobile cavalry scouts are often sent to carry out the attack.

Infantry scouts, on the other hand, are mainly aimed at fixed targets that are relatively close to each other, such as barracks, towns, mountains, ports, and so on.

While Zhao Liang received 100 subordinates, he also received the task conveyed by Tao Siyuan, who was the chief of staff of the Beifu Army: to lead people to infiltrate Guangling City first, and explore the situation in the four places of city defense, naval camp, warship dock and grain and grass warehouse.

This errand is easy to do, but it is really hard to do if it is not good. Zhao Liang was like before, and his heart began to retreat.

I, Nima, Lao Tzu came here to kill Tao Siyuan, why did he not only save this kid's life now, but also work for him in turn? Zhao Liang was very depressed about this, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: Yang Fan and Zhang Lei were missing until this time, and he had lost contact with the bureau again, and the next thing he should do was to quickly seek the help of the dim faction and try to find the two missing colleagues first.

He took the order from Tao Siyuan, turned around and returned to the camp assigned to him, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and hurriedly took out the small black box hidden on his body, and tried to call the head of the dim faction of this era.

However, to Zhao Liang's great disappointment, he called several times in succession, but there was no answer on the special space-time walkie-talkie of the dim faction, and he didn't know if there was no one answering, or if there was something wrong with the master token.

At this moment, Zhao Liang was really a little panicked, and he couldn't help but secretly scold him for being unlucky. At the moment, this anti-penetration game can't be contacted, and the dark faction can't be contacted, it's clearly a "pattern that calls the sky and the earth not working", is God playing with me on purpose?

He wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head, and was about to try again, when a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Lord Qiqi, Liu Yu is here to report!" ”

Zhao Liang was taken aback, and quickly put the small black box in his arms and hid it, and then couldn't help but be slightly stunned: Liu Yu? Could it be the Hanmen Emperor with the nickname "Jinu"?

Damn, it can't be such a coincidence, right?!
