Wang Min lay in front of the door of the box, listening attentively to the movement outside the door. glanced back at Yu Lei, who was looking out of the bed through the blinds, and asked, "How is it, is there a situation?" ”

"There are no special circumstances, sir." Yu Lei replied in a low voice. "The cavalry in the direction of Chencang is still confronting the robbers. In the three directions of Wudu, Anding, and Longxi, cavalry troops have already appeared to sentry sentry, and it is believed that cavalry troops will arrive within a day. However, the cavalry army, which had marched 200 kilometers in two days, was basically powerless, so it was estimated that it would take at least two days for the troops to really surround it. ”

Zhang Pingbo added: "The firewood and grass piled up outside the carriage, the robbers have not replenished the fire oil for more than eight hours, and it seems that the fire oil they carry is no longer enough." Depending on the outcome of the negotiations, I estimate that their remaining oil will be used again at most. The first two times were just posturing. ”

The train has been here for 34 hours. Wang Min couldn't understand how this group of thousands of Xihuma Gang broke through the western defense line and slaughtered Tianshui, which was already in the hinterland of Liangzhou, and crossed the Black Eagle Mountain 80 kilometers southwest of Tianshui City in Tianshui, and dug up the railroad tracks to block the movement of the train.

It is only less than 100 kilometers away from Chencang, and after Chencang is Yongzhou, which is known as the land of three auxiliaries, and the seat of Yongzhou is called Luoyang, Huacheng, which is called the capital area. Yongzhou is located in the seven cities of Chang'an, Huaili, Gaoling, Anyi, Hongnong, Hanoi and Luoyang, which is already the most densely populated area in the Federation, with a population of as little as 100,000, and Luoyang, where the capital area is located, has a population of one million.

If this force does not sneak attack the train, but continues to advance rapidly, and goes east out of Chencang to Yongzhou, it will cause immeasurable damage to the Federation.

Before the disarmament began, Liangzhou had 650,000 Western troops stationed, 100,000 more than the Northwest Military Headquarters and Bingzhou. Although the main garrisons were Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Jincheng, Longxi, and Wudu, which were directly adjacent to Xihu, but let as few as 3,000 Hu cavalry sneak to the hinterland of Tianshui, which is close to Yongzhou, Wang Min is sure that the Western Army will definitely change a group of leaders.

The light said that the garrison was unfavorable and the guard was not strict, allowing the enemy to penetrate into the hinterland; To put it more seriously, it is even suspected that some generals collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and let the enemy army go deeper. The 47 divisions placed on the defensive line became an ornament, which was unprecedented in the entire history of the Federation.

In front of me, there are more than 3,000 cavalry, more than 6,000 horses, and even 9,000 flies flying through the border guards, so it should also be reported, right? It was put into the heart of the Federation. Wang Min unconsciously rushed to the bursting blood vessels, not to mention the bigwigs in the capital area.

The two experts of the Science and Technology Department lived in the luxury carriage suite, and Wang Min and the three lived in the soft sleeper private room of the four-person room. But the team of the Sleeper Operations Division has completely lost contact.

The trunk was blocked. At the door of each private room stood at least two Xihu guards. The Hu people had a good attitude, which convinced Wang Min that the Hu people did not come to kill people and plunder. Then their target must be the two cars that are attached to the parking space.

Although the two carriages were at the station, and they were only added after they pedaled. However, the investigator's vigilance made him let Yu Lei go to the bottom of it.

The two carriages are mysterious and cannot be connected to the other carriages, separated by freight carriages. Yu Lei still heard the news from the train conductor, and there were high-level military and government officials on the train, as well as Hu people.

Officials of the Investigation Bureau, who knew the inside story, immediately understood that this should be a negotiation that has made progress, and it is estimated that they are negotiators who have gone to the capital area to present their credentials. So I didn't care.

However, in this small place called Black Eagle Mountain, where there is no village in front of the village, the train has been hijacked.

Although the guards at the door do not prohibit people from each box from going to the bathroom, they must apply in advance, line up to go in order, and there will be people who follow all the time, and it is impossible to meet others and answer any questions. The food truck was functioning normally, but everyone's food was delivered through the guards.

When I got on the train, I confirmed that in addition to my own 18-member investigation bureau team, there were only about a dozen passengers on this train. And judging by the fact that they are all military personnel on leave.

The population of Liangzhou is too small, with a population of less than 470,000, and in the 200 years of war, the land is not larger than that of Liangzhou, and there are abundant water and grass for animal husbandry, and almost all the people have moved to the interior or Yizhou. The rest of the population is basically the population who serve the army in the cities, or military households.

The railway from the capital area to Wuwei, the administrative center of Liangzhou, was basically entirely for the garrison, transporting food supplies or mobilizing troops. Trains run twice a week and return mostly empty. However, Liangzhou is the most densely populated place outside the capital area, so the train has 2 luxury cars, 1 hard sleeper car, and the other 5 cars are freight cars.

I am responsible for protecting the two professor-level experts, and I am not qualified to know about the additional car, so where did these Xihu robbers get the news? Moving to the hinterland of Liangzhou so long in advance, it is obviously easy to reveal the news too early, and the details of their launch will not exceed five days, and the investigation should be fruitful from this perspective.

Now, I believe that the director has received the news, and even the director is already on his way here, how can this important news be passed on to the director? The squad has a radio station, so how can we get the word out?

What he wants, the director must also be able to take it into account, Wang Min is convinced of this. So what the director needs now is not this news, but the dynamics of the train. Trains, trailer carriages, Xihu missions, Wang Min fell into deep thought.

Yu Bule took almost all the subordinates of the Inspectorate and hurriedly got off the train and entered Chencang Station.

In such a serious case, the Investigation Bureau naturally enjoyed the advantage of the priority of the federal investigation, and obtained the authorization of the state government to take full responsibility for the case. After careful consideration, Yu Bule left the captain Li Huili to lead all the newcomers to stay behind, Deng Xiujing, the head of the telecommunications team, and the other 14 subordinates, including Sun Yanyan, who was still in school, all went out and rushed to Chen Cang.

In the train station, the stationmaster has long since lost his mind. The platform was completely taken over by the military. A colonel of the city defense army personally waited on the platform.

"Hello Director Yu, Colonel Li Xuyang, Commander of the 168th Western Division, salutes you." The standard military salute is impeccable.

Yu Bule solemnly saluted back to the tall officer in front of him: "Yu Bule, the prosecutor, was appointed by the government to come to Liangzhou to assist in handling the robbery of the mission. Hello Colonel Lee. ”

Yu Bule stretched out his hand again, shook hands with Colonel Li Xuyang, and half-bowed to the juniors. Facing the front-line real power colonel who was more than 20 years older than him, Yu Bule chose to meet as a junior in a low-key manner.

"These are the special forces of my prosecutorial department, and I will not introduce them one by one because of the limited time. Master Li, the juniors don't greet you anymore, I don't know that the situation has not changed in the more than ten hours on the way I came, and please briefly introduce me to the deployment of the front line. ”

"Okay, Director Yu. This way, please, there is a meeting room at the station. "Li Xuyang is also an army faction, no longer ambiguous at the moment, leading the way. Tan Jiaren skillfully handed over to Li Xuyang's adjutant, while Park Young-min contacted the telecommunications and quickly set up a radio station, and everything was in order.

"Director Yu, you have to wait at the station for about 2 hours and 40 minutes, and the relevant person in charge authorized by the Military Department and the Protocol Department has already set off, because it is later than your team to depart, although it is also a temporary increase in the head of the train, it will be a little late."

Yu Bule nodded and said: "Please contact the station, immediately arrange for us to add coal and water to the front of the train, move forward two hundred meters and wait at the divider, and the two authorized representatives will leave immediately when they arrive." Yu Bule's family enjoys the key technology patents of train locomotives, and he is very aware of the needs of train operation and arranges preparations in advance.

"Okay, Director Yu. This side please. Li Xuyang stretched out his hand to guide the direction. At present, our Chencang garrison has urgently transferred two regiments to Black Eagle Mountain, and is currently confronting more than 4,000 robbers.

There are photos sent back by the first line in the conference room, and Director Yu can take a look. For now, the robbers still exercise restraint, but keep the conditions unchanged and ask for negotiations with the female person in charge. Therefore, the military department transferred Ms. Lu Zhen, the deputy director of logistics, who had just been promoted to colonel, the highest military rank in the Federation, and Major Sun Yizhen, a war intelligence staff officer.

There is a shortage of female officials on the government side, so Ms. Zhao Hui, deputy director of the courtesy department of the protocol department, was sent. Lieutenant Colonel Lu and Deputy Director Zhao are already the highest-ranking female officials of the Federation who can be found in time.

The Western Army has received a clear order from the government and the military department, and everything is under the responsibility of Director Yu, and the front-line negotiators are also designated by Director Yu. The whole of the Western Army, including the follow-up personnel who rushed in, should follow the orders of Director Yu. ”

Lin Zhenna followed behind Yu Bule, and when she heard Sun Yizhen's name, she pouted unnaturally. Jin Yuanyuan, who was beside her, chuckled and pulled her, continuing to keep up with the chief's pace.

As he spoke, he had already walked to the conference room temporarily requisitioned from the waiting room of Chencang Station. Li Xuyang led the chief prosecutor to sit down, and while serving tea, he began to report on the situation.

"Everyone, please look at the screen projection, the train was hijacked at 11 a.m. on the 21st to Black Eagle Mountain, and the Western Army has already reported it to your bureau in detail. Here are the photos from the scene, which can be clear first-hand. ”

In the photo, the train is parked in an open field, and the train is surrounded by firewood and grass. The two red carriages of the additional car were unloaded, and the distance between them and the main car was about 20 meters, and it can be clearly seen that the piled firewood piles and the intensity of the guards are much higher than those of the main car.

There were no less than 200 soldiers on duty around the main vehicle and outside the additional vehicle. The main car is okay, because there are only two carriages, and the Hu soldiers standing guard around have almost stood facing out twice, even if flies can't fly in. There is a circle of torches for ignition in the outer ring, and the number is not clear, and it is not extinguished day and night.

Tents had been set up around the train, and not far away were makeshift horse pens, and judging by the number of horses, the number of horses of the hijacking army exceeded 8,000, occupying a large part of the plain at the foot of the mountain. The Western Army estimated that the number of Hu people exceeded 4 thousand.

In the face of such a big mistake in the Western Army, Colonel Li Xuyang didn't know what to say, so he could only skip it hastily.
