Zhang Xiaowu returned to Jixiangfang restlessly, and came to the Yinyi Wei Yamen, where many old subordinates were urgently called, and everyone was puzzled. Zhang Xiaowu has a natural judgment of danger, he feels that the soldiers of the Western Regions in Wuguan County will never be so simple, and there must be a shocking secret hidden behind it. Therefore, for safety reasons, Zhang Xiaowu immediately ordered 15,000 Yinyi guards to gather urgently and all of them were assembled.

Now the number of silver-clothed guards has increased to 15,000, including the original 8,000 ghost guards, the 3,000 snow guards brought by Hu Li from Xueguan, and the 4,000 northern refugees recruited after investigation. These fifteen thousand people are Zhang Xiaowu's life-saving capital, and his armament of this silver-clothed guard is also to the teeth, with armor, war horses, crossbows, and bows, and it is the strongest armed force in Longdu.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhang Xiaowu then informed Wuguan County of the three thousand soldiers from the Western Regions who were hiding, which caused a strong reaction from everyone, and there was such an army hidden under their noses, and no one could sit still. And this incident reflects a more serious problem, and 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 soldiers of the Western Regions to hide in Wuguan County, let alone hide their whereabouts. The people of Longdu have always regarded us as outsiders, and to them, we are not friends, but enemies. Kang Tianen sneered, he came with Hu Sanwan, and he had been silent before, but at this time, his words were tantamount to lighting a fire in the oil pot, and everyone suddenly became angry.

Although they have been in Longdu for two years, they are still outsiders to everything in Longdu. In the hearts of many officials, Zhang Xiaowu and Yinyiwei belong to the strong army to seize power, and once they have any danger or crisis, everyone will immediately participate in the "crusade against Zhang".

The appearance of these 3,000 soldiers from the Western Regions may show everyone's attitude, they are enjoying the convenience brought by Zhang Xiaowu to the country, and the harmony and prosperity brought by the Yinyi Guard to Longdu, while never forgetting to attack the Yinyi Guard.

"These bastards!" Bao Yin scolded, "Who the hell is it?" ”

"They have to be eliminated."

"Yes, get rid of them."

"Give them a little color."

Everyone quarreled, Ruan Qingwen and Wu Song glanced at each other, and they all smiled bitterly, the appearance of these three thousand soldiers from the Western Regions was indeed too weird.

Guan Xiang said: "In any case, we must not allow any forces that threaten us to exist quietly. ”

"My lord, I suggest that you send troops to eliminate the rebellion immediately." Cao Li stood up and said, "Since General Chen has discovered them, they may also have noticed General Chen, so I suggest that we must do it immediately." ”

"Yes, the first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers." Hu Li also nodded and said, "Whether they are rebels or not, but being able to hide in Wuguan County unknowingly must be of great use, and we must eradicate them first." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! Have you ever wondered why they are hiding in Wuguan County? Wu Song got up and said, "The Xuanwu Army is stationed in Wuguan County, how can they not know all the big and small things in Wuguan County?" Therefore, this Western Regions soldier must have something to do with the Xuanwu Army. And the commander of the Xuanwu Army, Bian Wen, has always been cunning and riding the wall, but I am afraid that he is thinking of some ghost idea at this time. My lord, this person has to be guarded. ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "Therefore, the destruction of the soldiers of the Western Regions needs to be fast, it needs to be taken by surprise, and it is necessary to make Bian Wen defenseless, and kill him with one blow, and he must not drag mud and water." After hearing this, everyone suddenly became excited, and it seemed that the general was determined to eradicate these soldiers from the Western Regions and deter the government and the opposition. Zhang Xiaowu recruited people to spread out the map and asked Chen Guanxi to draw the location of the soldiers in the Western Regions, and saw that it was a mountain col, the geographical location was remote, and it was indeed difficult to be discovered. He looked left and right at the crowd and asked, "How can we destroy them as quickly as possible?" The soldiers of the Western Regions are also the elite of the Qinglong Army, and they will kill them directly, but they are afraid that they will lose both. ”

Everyone frowned, Zhang Xiaowu saw that Wu Song seemed to be laughing, so he nodded with him, Wu Song immediately said: "Everyone, it is winter now, the air is dry and cold, the north wind is strong, and the soldiers of the Western Regions are hiding in the mountain col again. So we only need to set fire to the Western Regions soldiers around them, and wait for the fire to burn all the Western Regions soldiers to death. So unaware, we don't have to do anything. ”

"Good idea."

"It's vicious."

"Good!" Zhang Xiaowu slapped his face and said: "Hu Li, Cui Qilang, Qu Ming, and Chen Guanxi will listen to the order, with Hu Li as the main general, Cui Qilang as the deputy general, and the four of you will set off immediately with 5,000 silver-clothed guards, and Chen Guanxi will lead the way day and night, and attack the Western Regions Soldier Camp in Wuguan County at night tomorrow night." The specific time and method of the night attack are determined by you, and after destroying the soldiers of the Western Regions, you will return to Longdu immediately, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Whoa."

"Let's go."

"Whoa."

The four of them immediately took the order and left.

Everyone was excited, and after less than a year of peace, they were going to fight again, everyone was gearing up, but there were also people worried about their families, after all, many of the silver-clothed guards today have settled down in Longdu to marry wives and have children. Men must take root and settle down, so although the silver guards urgently gathered tonight, only 12,000 people have gathered so far, and another 3,000 people are still gathering one after another, and some people even don't show up at all.

Wu Song reminded: "My lord, we need a local text, this old fox doesn't know when he will give us a knife in the back." ”

Zhang Xiaowu paced back and forth: "Wu Song, you are right, you have to guard against Bian Wen, but it is Jin Yiwei who has to be guarded against. Wen Ruyu, you are a commander in the Golden Guard, do you think there is harmony in the Golden Guard? ”

Wen Ruyu came out of the ranks, and said while thinking: "If you go back to your lordship, you really haven't paid attention to the country, and the lowly is in charge of the intelligence investigation of foreign countries in the Jinyi Guard, so you don't know anything about the domestic news." However, Jin Yiwei has always been a monolith, even if he is the second in command of Jin Yiwei, it is difficult to go deep into it. I was in the Golden Guard, so to speak, like someone had suddenly been stuffed into the Silver Guard. ”

Ruan Qingwen and the others smiled bitterly, but everyone knew that Wen Ruyu was telling the truth, Jin Yiwei was a hereditary system, and many of them grew up together, and it was indeed difficult for outsiders to intervene in them, let alone outsiders meddling in Jin Yiwei's work. This relationship has both advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that as intelligence officers, they trust each other not to be deceived and bought by outsiders, and the disadvantage is that they are increasingly bloated and incompetent.

And Wen Ruyu, an outsider, although he has been the commander of the Jinyi Guard for ten months, now he doesn't even know how many subordinates, how many secret agents, and how many secret piles he has.

"Therefore, the Golden Guards must not be trusted." Zhang Xiaowu said to everyone with a sneer.
