Chapter 322: The heart of defense is indispensable
"Well, that makes sense!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, thought about it and asked, "By the way, you sent someone to say that you already have an object of suspicion the night before yesterday, who is this person?" Is it possible to determine it now? β
"It's almost certain!" After Cao Jiao finished speaking, he stepped forward and said a name in Zhao Junsheng's ear in a very low voice.
Zhao Junsheng looked shocked: "Is it him?" β
"There shouldn't be a mistake, the subordinates sent people to secretly monitor near the location where they took instructions and put news, every time this person appeared in these two positions, except for him, no one else will appear in these two positions so coincidentally several times in a row!"
Zhao Junsheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This person should be with Gu Bi and Tuoba Jian, the king of Yongchang, on Jinling Mountain now, right?" β
"Yes, not only did this person go up the mountain, but his subordinates also arranged for Hou Luo and Hou Ling to go to the mountain before leaving!"
"Very good! Be careful to keep the identities of these people secret, and don't let anyone else know their true identities and locations except for you and me! β
"My subordinates understand!" Cao Jiao clenched his fists and agreed.
Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Cao Jiao: "A few days ago, the prison army transferred 2,000 people from the fifth princess into my baggage camp, this matter must be known to you, if the new 2,000 people are all incorporated into the existing three battalions, it will inevitably cause a decline in the overall combat strength of our army, the idea of the capital is to set up a fourth battalion, the main officers are drawn from the first three battalions, first put up the shelves of the fourth battalion, and then transfer 1,000 people from the new 2,000 people into the fourth battalion, and the remaining 1,000 people are divided among the first three battalions, By bringing veterans to recruits, you can get them into it as soon as possible, and this is also the fastest way to improve their combat power! β
"Pontotong originally wanted you to be the lieutenant of the fourth battalion, but considering that you are still young and have no experience in commanding so many soldiers and horses, letting you directly serve as the lieutenant of the fourth battalion will inevitably make the soldiers dissatisfied, think twice, and have Pontutong himself serve as the lieutenant of the fourth battalion, you will be the lieutenant, and after you have a certain qualification and have made some contributions, Pontus will let you be the lieutenant of the fourth battalion, what do you think?"
Cao Jiao hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates obey orders!" β
Zhao Junsheng looked at his expression and nodded: "Okay, this matter is decided!" However, Pontus itself has a lot of military affairs, and the lieutenant of the fourth battalion can only put on a name, and daily drills, vigilance, patrols and other matters still have to be managed by you, the lieutenant! β
"Subordinates obey!" Cao Jiao's battalion hesitated and asked: "Since my subordinates have become the deputy lieutenant of the fourth battalion, what Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·is the matter of this security team?"
Zhao Junsheng touched his chin and thought about it for a while, "Let you run at both ends, you really can't be busy." In this way, let the entourage Guo Yi take care of the affairs of the security team first, let him be a deputy captain, and you can take the time to help out! β
"Yes!"
As soon as the two finished talking about this matter, Guo Yi led Gao Xiu over.
"Dutong, I heard that you are looking for a subordinate?" Gao Xiu followed Guo Yi and walked over to Zhao Junsheng with a fist and asked.
Zhao Junsheng said: "Our baggage battalion has newly entered 2,000 people, although they have been organized into five echelons, but this is only a temporary formation, Bendu has considered it for a few days, and decided to set up a fourth battalion, and some officers from your three battalions will be transferred to form the fourth battalion framework, and then 1,000 people from the new 2,000 people will be transferred to the fourth battalion, temporarily I will personally serve as the captain, and Cao Jiao will serve as the lieutenant, and the remaining 1,000 people will be divided into your three battalions, and they will be incorporated into you, let the veterans lead the new soldiers, and let them integrate into it as soon as possible to improve their combat effectiveness!" I called you here to ask what you think about this? β
Gao Xiu clenched his fists and said, "The last general obeys the order!" If the two thousand people are integrated into the existing three people, it will inevitably cause the overall combat strength to decline, and the establishment of the fourth battalion is indeed the best way! β
"In that case, you should cooperate and divide these two thousand people into two parts, one part will be handed over to Cao Jiao, and the rest will be divided into three parts, each of which will be organized into three battalions! Cao Jiao, you first take Guo Yi to familiarize yourself with the situation of the security team, take a good rest today, and come to Pontus tomorrow to take the warrant to select officers from each battalion! β
"Yes, Totong!"
At dusk.
Zhao Junsheng was practicing guns and riding and archery skills outside the camp, Guo Yi walked back from outside, and when Zhao Junsheng finished practicing, he stepped forward and hugged his fists to report: "Young master, the little one is generally familiar with the affairs of the security team, I don't know if the young master has any arrangements for the next things of the security team?" β
Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while and said to Guo Yi: "For the security team, you currently have several main tasks: first, find a way to improve their individual combat effectiveness and group cooperation combat tactics; second, to train and improve their ability to gather information, such as the skills of talking to people, disguise, stealth, resistance to torture, etc.; Third, train them in the ability to track, monitor, and extract confessions! Fourth, we must train their reasoning, observation and other criminal investigation skills! β
Guo Yi agreed: "The little one understands!" β
"Okay, don't be small, I sound awkward, so I call myself am!"
"I'm used to it, I used to talk to people like this, but I'm really not used to changing my mouth all of a sudden!" Guo Yi touched his head with some embarrassment.
Zhao Junsheng remembered something and said to Guo Yi: "By the way, you still have some time to do now!" β
"Please command, young master!"
"There are 2,000 new people in our baggage camp, you also know this, these 2,000 people are drawn from the Fifth Princess, you send a few people to mix in these two thousand people to screen these people, if you find any suspicious people, first stare at them, record them one by one, but don't alarm them, strictly monitor their every move."
Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, "Does the young master suspect that someone has mixed sand among these two thousand people?" β
"You can't have a small harm to others, and you can't have a heart to defend against people!"
"The little one understands, I'll arrange it later!"
The camp was opened, and the soldiers who were resting in the camp took their hands and chopsticks one by one to line up at the room to receive the meal, and some handymen carried the food to the fortress and the city wall to deliver food to the soldiers and generals on duty.
Zhao Junsheng asked his soldiers to take the food box to the room to get food for two people, and he came to the city wall with the food box.
"Mulan, how is it in the afternoon?" Zhao Junsheng walked up to Mulan and asked.
Hua Mulan turned her head to see that it was Zhao Junsheng, "There was no movement from the Rouran people in the afternoon, and after the second batch of door panels was built and sent, the Rouran people did not attack again, but I always felt that they would definitely think of other ways."
Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Then wait for them to think of a way, it's useless for you to think about it here and worry about it!" Okay, let's eat first, eat enough to have the strength to kill the enemy! β
"Hmm!"
The two of them sat on the ground under the wall, took out the food in the food box and put it on the ground, and discussed the affairs of the Jinling camp while eating.
"You don't have to guess, the Jinling camp has been breached, and the Gu Jian Army and the King of Yongchang led their troops to retreat to Jinling Mountain!" Zhao Junsheng said while eating.
"What? Breached? Mulan stopped her chopsticks.
Zhao Junsheng raised his head and said, "I didn't panic, why are you panicking?" Eat first, eat later! β
"I'm eating, you say!" Mulan took the steamed cake and munched on it.
Zhao Junsheng took a mouthful of wild vegetables and put them in his mouth, and said while eating: "I also just received the newsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, Hua Mulan said: "This matter must be reported to General Pi quickly!" After saying that, he sped up his meal.
Zhao Junsheng also knows that this kind of military situation must be known to the Leather Leopard, and concealing it from him can only make him suspicious of Mulan, although the guard of Nantianbao is Mulan, and Mulan is only directly responsible for the Jinling Battalion, but Mulan is a subordinate general of Leather Leopard, and it is impossible for Mulan to bypass Leather Leopard to make decisions in military affairs, otherwise she will have a hard time in the future, after all, the guard of Nantianbao is only a temporary position of Mulan, as long as she is still a member of the Huaishuo Town Army, she will not be able to escape from the jurisdiction of Leather Leopard.
The two hurriedly finished dinner on the city wall, packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and were about to go to see the leopard, when Hua Hai hurriedly came over and hugged his fist at Hua Mulan and said: "Lord, the person sent to the Jinling camp to report is back, he has not yet arrived at the Jinling camp before he received the news that the Jinling camp was broken, and the Rouran people also sent many small groups of cavalry to loot everywhere, all the towns and villages within a radius of more than 100 years of the Jinling camp are being looted, and the corpses are all over the field and scorched earth where the Rouran people pass!" β
"Bastard!" Mulan was furious when she heard this, and slapped her palm on the wall.
Zhao Junsheng saw that Hua Mulan was so angry that the wall tiles that she slapped with her palm were also cracked, so he persuaded: "Let's tell General Pi the news and see what he thinks!" β
Mulan calmed down her anger and walked briskly under the city wall.
Zhao Junsheng grabbed Hua Hai and commanded in a low voice: "Block the news, and you must not let the soldiers know, otherwise you have to fry the pot, understand?" β
Huahai also realized that once the news of the destruction of the Jinling camp spread among the defenders of Nantian Fort, it would inevitably cause panic, let alone defend Nantian Fort, the soldiers' hearts would be shaken, what kind of battle would they fight?
It was not yet completely dark, and an eagle flew from the south, over the mountains, over the Nantian Fort, and circled over the camp of the Rouran army several miles away, and then fell.
The camp of the Rouran army was brightly lit, and in the tent, Da Na sat on a big chair covered with wolf skin, chewing mutton and drinking mare's milk wine, and a beautiful slave girl poured wine and cut meat for him, and there were several scantily clad female slaves dancing to the sound of the huqin playing in the tent.
A handsome man walked in quickly and bowed down: "Dashuai, Princess Tuzhen has a letter coming!" β
"Oh? What did the princess say in the letter? Nada asked as he picked up a piece of mutton and chewed it.
Xiao Shuai stepped forward and whispered a few words in Da Na's ear.
Dana was first overjoyed, then his face changed, he frowned, and waved his hand to let the slave girls and musicians withdraw.
After Xiao Shuai finished speaking, he stepped aside.
Da Na chewed mutton in his mouth, but his mind was thinking about the trade-off, he was the commander of this Rouran army, even the soldiers and horses in the hands of Princess Tuzhen were his, although he admired Princess Tuzhen's resourcefulness, but he couldn't obey Princess Tuzhen's words, he also had his considerations, and the only one he really obeyed was Rouran Khan Datan.
After thinking for a long time, the big pair of little marshals ordered: "Go and give the order to gather 5,000 people!" β
Xiao Shuai's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Da Shuai, we only have more than 10,000 people in total, if we really transfer 5,000 people according to Princess Tuzhen's request, there will only be more than 5,000 people left here, and there are nearly 20,000 slaves. β
