Tsu City. Eleven o'clock in the evening.

Mayu Watanabe had just spoken to Takuno Aoki on the phone, and he frowned, his mood a little heavy. Takuno Aoki's failure in Beiping will affect the progress of the entire "Skynet" program.

And the slightest situation in the Xia Kingdom cannot be concealed from the base camp, otherwise it will affect the judgment of the base camp and bring immeasurable consequences to the empire.

He thought about the words in his mind and dialed the ocean phone.

The other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's Watanabe-kun, calling so late, is there any good news to tell me?"

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Mayu Watanabe smiled bitterly: "Aoki-kun's work in Beiping went relatively smoothly at the beginning, but there was a little accident yesterday, and things are like this......"

Oda Ichiro listened to the phone call and did not speak for a long time. "It seems," he finally spoke, "that I expect too much from him." ”

"Your Excellency," Mayu Watanabe explained for Takuno Aoki, "and the responsibility for such a thing is not on Aoki-kun, but on the mistakes of his men."

"Employing people without notice, self-righteousness, this is not his responsibility, whose responsibility is it? Yours? Oda Ichiro said in a stern tone.

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency is right." Watanabe Mayu Nono said: "But neither I nor Aoki-kun have any usable talents around us who can stand alone, and I hope that Your Excellency can send some capable personnel from the base camp to help us." ”

"Hmm. I've thought about this question for a long time. In this case, I will apply to the military department to seconded Xue Ying and Xue Man to the Xia Kingdom to assist you. ”

"Snow Sakura and Snow Vine, are those two sister flowers that are called the Flower of the Empire?" Mayu Watanabe asked in surprise.

"It's them."

"Great," Mayu Watanabe said excitedly, "With the help of the two of them, why worry about big things!" ”

"Your Excellency, I still have something to do."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My Nantang lurking personnel have learned that Xia Batian, the commander of the Xia State, held a high-level military meeting at noon today, and planned to encircle and clear the second detachment of the Spark Alliance in the area of the Land Temple from the west of the Xia State Mountains, Longdong and northern Xinjiang. Your Excellency, do you think this information is of any value to us? ”

"That's good news," Oda Ichiro said after a moment of silence, "Send this information to the Spark Alliance." ”

"Huh?" Mayu Watanabe was a little surprised: "Why do you want to do this, wouldn't it be better for them to kill themselves?" ”

"No," Oda Ichiro shook his head slightly, "If that's the case, it's a one-sided massacre." You think, when a tiger fights a sheep, the tiger eats the sheep and becomes stronger. But we let the Spark Alliance know in advance that if they are prepared, they will turn into a ferocious tiger and slash the incoming enemy fiercely. ”

"Yo-hee!" Mayu Watanabe instantly understood and said happily: "When two tigers fight, there will be an injury." At that time, it will only be us who will take advantage. Gao, Your Excellency's trick is really clever. ”

Hanging up the phone, Mayu Watanabe saw that the time was almost twelve o'clock, and shouted outside the door, "Kawashima-kun, come here."

Kio Kawashima walked in. "Hey. What are the commands? ”

"The time I agreed with the hummingbird is almost up, and I am ready to send her a report immediately. The message reads as follows......"

After Kawashima Kio sent the telegram, he looked at Mayu Watanabe with puzzled eyes and asked, "Your Excellency, do your subordinates have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

"It's okay, you can say it."

"Why did you ask Hummingbird to inform Ji'an of such important information?"

"Ji'an is the headquarters of the Spark Alliance, and Hummingbird's move can completely gain the trust of the other party and gain a firm foothold in Ji'an. As for the benefits of doing so, you will understand it later. ”

Early the next morning, Ji'an.

Bai Xiu looked happy, and hurriedly walked towards Zou Gong's residence with a telegram.

Zou Gong had just finished washing, and when he heard footsteps, he looked at the door: "Oh, it's Comrade Xiaobai, seeing that you are so happy, do you have any good news to tell me?" ”

"Report to Duke Zou," Bai Xiu saluted, "Last night, I was on night duty and intercepted a piece of information about the recent military deployment of Xia Mansion. ”

Zou Gong took the telegram, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn. "Comrade Xiaobai, you have made a great contribution this time! In this case, you immediately go and send an urgent telegram to the commanders of the first and third detachments, asking them to come to Ji'an immediately for an urgent meeting. ”

"Yes."

"This has to be told to Number One right away, and it's time to do so." Zou Gong thought of this, so he prepared to walk out the door.

At this moment, Li Shengnan walked in with a look of urgency.

"Zou Gong, something is wrong, take a look at this telegram."

Zou Gong took a look and said, "I already know, I'm about to go to find No. 1, you can go with me." ”

"You already know?" Li Shengnan asked in surprise.

"Yes, this telegram was given to me by Comrade Bai Xiu from the Second Telecommunications Division just now, and it is completely consistent with your content."

"Two? How did Bai Xiu get it? ”

"She said she intercepted it last night."

"Comrade Bai Xiu is really amazing!" Li Shengnan was amazed.

"This is what I sent to the telegraph department by Zhao Jiangong, the underground secretary of Nantang, and the comparison of the two telegrams makes it seem that the information is true, we must take action quickly, otherwise the first and third detachments will be in danger. Zou Gong, do you think you will immediately send a report to the second detachment, and ask them to immediately set off to cooperate with the first and third detachments to smash the enemy's encirclement and suppression and severely crack down on the enemy's arrogance? ”

Zou Gong shook his head: "No, the second detachment is far away in Sichuan, and when they come, I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold, and it will be difficult to relieve the thirst in the far water." Let's go, go see One. ”

The Xu family compound.

After listening to Zou Gong and Li Shengnan's reports, No. 1 turned around and stood in front of the map and watched, smoking cigarettes one by one and frowning for a long time. The eagerness in Zou Gong's heart overflowed on the surface, and he wanted to open it several times, but he didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts.

After a long time, No. 1 finally turned around.

"No. 1, the enemy who came to attack was fierce, and his strength was nearly thirty times that of ours. The disparity in strength is so great that it is not appropriate to confront it. You see if we can avoid its sharp edge, divide the troops of the first and third detachments into four routes, and divide the three routes into pieces, adopt mobile and flexible tactics in the three directions of Lingdong, Longxi, and northern Xinjiang to harass the enemy along the way to slow down his pace, and the other way to protect the Ji'an headquarters to withdraw in the direction of central Sichuan and join the second detachment. ”

I have to say that Zou Gong's plan is completely feasible from the current situation. Weak against strong, this also seems to be the only option.

"No," No. 1 pulled a cigarette out of his pocket again, "We'll stay in Ji'an and won't go anywhere." The first and third detachments should not move, they are in Lingdong and Longxi are each other's horns, the north can block the enemy beyond the Yanmen Pass, the south can advance or retreat, one can protect the safety of the vast base area in Ji'an, and the other can retreat to the middle of Sichuan. Therefore, Lingdong and Longxi are very important and must not be lost, and losing them is equivalent to making people choke their throats. ”

"So how do we deal with it?" Zou Gong asked urgently.

"Don't bother." No. 1 smiled calmly: "Just write a letter to our old rival Xia Batian in my name, tell him that I already know his intentions and open the door to welcome him to Ji'an." ”

"Shhh

Li Shengnan couldn't help but gasp.

Zou Gong thought about it for a while and understood the intention of No. 1. He was delighted and said, "Okay, I understand." Once Xia Batian knew that the contents of his Supreme Military Council had been leaked so quickly, he would definitely be furious, and at the same time, he would think that his elaborate military action plan had lost the opportunity, and he would definitely not dare to rush into the army. ”

"No. 1," the haze in Zou Gong's heart had already disappeared, and he said with a smile: "This matter is arranged by me, but I think we can publish the content of the letter in Nantang, Jincheng and other major newspapers and periodicals to make the momentum bigger." ”

"It's so good, let Xia Batian eat the yellow lotus dumbly—I can't tell if I have any suffering." Number One also said with a smile.

Li Shengnan understood at this time, he looked at the majestic figure with admiration, and secretly said in his heart: "This is the wisdom and bearing of a great man, one thought can resist the enemy thousands of miles away, and one thought can make the world bend their waists!" ”

Nantang.

In the commander's office, Xia Batian smashed the teacup on the table, and after venting, he looked coldly at Yang Rushan, the trembling secretary general of the guard in front of him, and threw the newspaper in his hand in his face with a "hiss".

"Grandma, a bear! Say, what's going on? ”

"This, this...... I don't know what's going on. Yang Rushan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and said in fear.

"Hehe, I don't know!" Xia Batian laughed at himself: "My Xia someone's plan was only formulated yesterday, and today it was known by the Spark Alliance, and the plan will be published in the newspapers, this is a naked slap in the face, slap me Xia someone's face!" ”

"Check, investigate it immediately, find out the leaker and punish it severely! You go, call Dai Lianzhong and Zheng Yimin to me immediately. Damn, they don't know if there are spies around me, I really don't know how these two wastes do their espionage work? ”

"Yes." Yang Rushan was like being amnestied, turned around and ran out with a smoke.
