Chapter 54: The Polemic
Yang Hao just walked into the inner study, was about to drink tea to moisten his throat, Guan Suo stood at the door with a black cowhide bag, as a rule, he had to report to Yang Hao that he got all the important information the day before, the cowhide bag was stuffed most of the time, Guan Suo is a careful person, which is very beneficial to him to collect intelligence from all over the world, but it is often easy to get entangled in some specific details when reporting work, and Yang Hao will interrupt him unceremoniously at this time,
Since the last incident, Yang Hao always felt a little strange when he saw him again, although he also knew that Guan Suo and Qing'er would not have anything to do with each other, and the person who created the scandal was only based on some intimate actions between the two of them in their daily lives, Yang Hao knew that those were at best the intimacy between brothers, sisters, and brothers, which was different from outsiders.
"I just received a secret report that 20,000 people of the Sky Wolf Army have been found north of Yinshan Mountain and west of Boulder Fort, and it seems that they have the intention of going south."
Yang Hao sighed in his heart when he heard this, got up and walked to the huge map in the conference room on the landlord's side of the study without saying a word, this map is a birthday gift from Liu Wei to Yang Hao, imitating the "Mountains and Rivers of the Northern Kingdom", the former is drawn by a master in the world, a priceless treasure, a special mapping department is set up under the intelligence room to survey and map the geographical atlas of various places, but due to the lack of talents, the progress has not been large, the map drawn is far less detailed and accurate than the "Mountains and Rivers of the Northern Kingdom", and the Department of Geographical Surveying and Mapping of the Wubei Academy is also due to the lack of teachers. and can't recruit students, and is in a half-dead state,
Yang Hao found the location of Guan Suo on the map, north of Yinshan Mountain, west of the Boulder Fort, that is the territory of the Uighurs, what is there to make a fuss about the Uighurs operating on their own territory, even if it is the Great Khan's Su Guard pro-army Celestial Wolf Army, what can it mean, the Celestial Wolf Army often operates in the border areas of the Khanate, the purpose is to assert their hegemony in this land, and warn careerists not to covet it,
However, if you contact the recent Zhangxin Khan recruited Xiao Qijin as a son-in-law, the situation becomes less optimistic, a month ago the husband of Princess Lumper, who was deeply favored by Zhangxin Khan, died of illness, and only ten days later, Zhangxin Khan married Lunpo to Xiao Qijin as his wife, according to the intelligence room placed in the Uighur court undercover information sent back, Princess Lunpo was hooked up by Xiao Qijin when her husband was still alive, and her husband's death Xiao Qijin is absolutely inseparable.
An unfallen nobleman under the fence dares to play a conspiracy under the nose of the tyrannical and suspicious Zhangxin Khan, how much risk does this take, Xiao Qijin does this, except for wanting to use the power of Zhangxin Khan to recapture the middle of the forest, there is really no other explanation, according to the customs of the Uighurs, the princess's husband must have his own territory, after marrying Princess Lunper, as long as the little Qijin speaks, the Zhangxin Khan will definitely send troops to help him recapture the old land in the middle of the forest,
The Celestial Wolf Army is the elite regular army of the Uighur Khanate, with a number of 300,000 people, and is the pillar of defending the royal court and deterring the surrounding alien races.
After Xiao Qijin took refuge in Zhangxin Khan, the rest of the "Iron Mask Jile" was organized into two thousand teams, Xiao Qijin led a team, his uncle Barbarian led the other team, the largest combat unit of the Sky Wolf Army is the 10,000 teams, each 10,000 teams have nine thousand teams and a 10,000 long guard, the Sky Wolf Army has 22 10,000 teams and dragons, tigers, wolves, eagles four guards, the four guards are the elite of the Sky Wolf Army, a guard has two 10,000 teams, they belong directly to the Great Khan, is a symbol of the status of the Great Khan, but also the source of power,
300,000 Heavenly Wolf Army plus the servant army of various ethnic groups, the entire Uighur Khanate has 500,000 troops, with a total strength of nearly 600,000, more than the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and they mobilize quickly, as long as the Khan gives an order, they can mobilize their hundreds of thousands of troops in a few days, because almost all of them are cavalry, so the speed of the march is very amazing,
"If he really wants to take revenge, the consequences are really unimaginable." Yang Hao's brows furrowed, and he turned around and asked Guan Suo, "How many eyeliners do you have in the Uighurs." ”
"Forty-three, but most of them are spying on some civil and commercial intelligence on the periphery, and there are very few who really have the ability to access the core."
"Can you buy information, such as Xiao Tsing Yi, the Judge's Hall, and the Bi Scimitar?" Bi Scimitar is an intelligence organization in Tubo, Yang Hao has only heard of this name,
"The price of the scimitar is sky-high, and the quality is not high, we have no contact with them in the judgment hall, only Xiao Qingyi can try it, maybe that Yan Hua can help." Guan Suo analyzed the situation of the three families, and Yang Hao also thought that if he really wanted to cooperate, it would be more reliable to cooperate with Xiao Tsing Yi, who was established earlier, had a large number of people, was well organized, and had a relatively high level.
After the establishment of the inner temple, Yang Hao separated the internal monitoring affairs from the intelligence room, and stipulated that the intelligence room would only be responsible for external intelligence affairs in the future, and then internal activities would be a violation, but Yang Hao also believed that with Guan Suo's keen sense of smell, any disturbance in the defense department could not escape his eyes.
Yan Hua was indeed taken away by Jin Taoyin, he was going to perform a secret mission, the content of the task was highly secret, Guan Suo may not know, but the matter of his being taken away Guan Suo must be clear, he suddenly mentioned Yan Hua at this time, whether it was unintentional or intentional, Yang Hao said quietly:
"But Yan Hua was taken away by Princess Yichun's people, this shouldn't be hidden from your eyes."
The corners of Guan Suo's mouth showed a sneer of disdain:
"Of course I know, don't I just want him to go back to Xiao Tsing Yi as an undercover agent."
"Knowing and saying this, you are so optimistic about Zhang Bozhong and them."
This time, Guan Suo no longer concealed his contemptuous expression: "If Xiao Qingyi was so easy to deal with, he would have changed his name to Xiao Qingyan a long time ago, Tsing Yi burned the cremation of the green smoke, and flickered and scattered with the wind......" Guan Suo said while making a gesture of the green smoke being blown away by the wind, and his demeanor was uninhibited,
"Dumping."
Yang Hao suddenly came up with this word in his mind, this is another dumping of the two intelligence organizations, last time it was Zhang Bozhong who sued Guan Suo, saying that he found that Guan Suo still had subordinates operating in Fengzhou, and hinted that if Guan Suo didn't stop again, he would turn his face and hurt his anger.
"Say hello to Zhu Qi and Zhang Bozhong before you start, and Yan Hua is already his own person, you are not allowed to entangle the past again, don't always think about demolishing the stage."
Guan Suo in the second half of the sentence was quite unhappy, if he was going to refute it in the past, at least he had to defend himself, but this time he endured it, and it was not pleasant, and it was extremely unnatural.
There was a sound of footsteps at the west corner gate, Ling Tong, Li Tong, Zhuang Yunqing, and Yu Zhong came together, and the bookstore who was watering the flowers in the courtyard lost his watering can and rushed in to report, and the four of them came together so early, it was indeed rare, and when they saw Guan Suo standing in front of the table with a red face,
Ling Tong smiled: "Let's not disturb General Guan's report." ”
The intelligence room is a subordinate agency of the General Staff Department, although it is only a nominal subordinate, but seeing his subordinates running over the level early in the morning to report Ling Tong still didn't control his mouth,
"No, I'm done, I'm going to report to you." Guan Suo threw a soft nail and pushed Ling Tong up,
Ling Tong was bored with himself, his face turned red, Yu Chonghan pushed Ling Tong away with a smile, and ended the confrontation between the two.
The book office has cleaned up the long conference table in the conference room on the landlord's side of the study, the conference room and the long conference table are arranged by Yang Hao, which is convenient for use when there are many people, and the huge map hanging on the wall is easy to refer to, in addition, Yang Hao also set aside a place near the south window to prepare a sand table.
"I said it bluntly, the Xiaofeng battalion has just sent a military report, and a large number of men and horses of the Sky Wolf Army have been found in the area west of Boulder Fort, and it is preliminarily judged that there are at least three thousand troops, and a large number of scouts have been sent around to survey the terrain in the past two days, and it seems that there is an intention to go south."
Walking all the way, Ling Tong couldn't help but gasp slightly, after saying these words, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of strong tea, and then shouted: "It's bitter tea." He turned around and asked the secretary office of the inner study: "The tea is not money, so I put it in." ”
The secretary's name is Mu Lanqing, an intern recommended by the Martial Arts Academy, smart and capable, but he doesn't like to talk very much, he was drunk by Ling Tong's split, and his face was immediately red, and he said for a long time: "The general likes to drink strong tea, I, I'm used to it, and I ...... for a while I'll give you another drink. ”
Mu Lanqing reached out to get the tea bowl, Ling Tong protected the tea bowl with his arms, stared at him and said, "Did I let you change it, the general can drink it, I can drink it too." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but Mu Lanqing's face was half smiling and half crying, very weird,
Ling Tong's words confirmed from one side that the information provided by Guan Suo was true and credible, according to the military system of the Xining Army, each battalion has a reconnaissance brigade, which is responsible for reconnoitring and guarding the surrounding situation of the battlefield, and the reconnaissance and alert range in the non-combat state is within 30 miles outside the defense area, and the war state is extended to 80 miles.
Although the tactical reconnaissance angle is small, it is real and direct, and when combined with the macro reconnaissance of the intelligence room, Yang Hao's mind immediately outlined the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the northwest of Yinshan.
"Little Qi Jin is determined to come back to take revenge." This is Yang Hao's conclusion, and it is also the conclusion of all the people in the conference room, and the clouds of war suddenly hung over everyone's hearts.
"You should make good preparations, sort out the political and military affairs, economy, people's livelihood, customs, and foreign relations of the Uighurs, send them to all departments for review, and send them to all the officers at and above the sentry commander level to study, if this battle is inevitable to be fought, we can only prepare early."
Yang Hao's words to Guan Suo made the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly tense,
"We will discuss a plan for preparing for the war, please read it." Ling Tong took out the red cowhide bag he was carrying with him and took out a plan to prepare for the enemy.
Yang Hao first looked at it roughly, turned his head and said to Mu Lanqing, who was guarding the door with his hands down: "Call Huang Yiliang to come, and then tell the outside, if Mr. Wu from Luoyang comes to report that I know, the others will not be seen." Mu Lanqing responded and ran out,
Yang Hao asked Li Tong: "Have you decided to discuss the purchase of horses with Qu Zebu?" ”
Li Daodao: "Originally, the envoy with them had already finalized the matter, but the day before yesterday, the envoy suddenly said that he couldn't be the master, and insisted that their Khan Asermi nod before he was willing to sign the contract, and now he can only wait." Yang Hao was taken aback, and said to himself: "I remember that they originally took the initiative to come to the door, and they came to invite dinner and gifts, why did they suddenly change their hexagrams, will there be anything strange in this." ”
Li Tong thought for a moment and replied: "Even if we don't buy their horses, our horses are enough, if you want to say that there are weirdness, then what tricks can you play." ”
