Looking at Xiao Yao's gaze, Dewey immediately explained, "The number of shadow guards and blood guards is not large, and they are all officers, the third-class guards are equivalent to the fifth rank, the second-class guards are equivalent to the fourth rank, and the first-class guards are equivalent to the third rank, and the total number of people is not more than a hundred." ”

It seems that he is also a five-rank military attache now, Xiao Yao continued to ask, "Who are the others, do we know?" ”

"I don't know, the shadow guard and the blood guard are both one-line contacts, and everyone only knows their superiors, for example, I was originally a second-class guard, and there were four third-class guards under my command. And below a first-class guard, there are also four second-class guards, so a battalion also has only one first-class guard, four second-class guards, and sixteen third-class guards, a total of twenty-one people, and we have two battalions of shadow guards, namely two battalions of Bingding, and two battalions of blood guards, that is, two battalions of A and B. And the two of us are the third squad of the T-shaped battalion. Originally, there were three other people in the team, but they were all still in Kyori. The other two shadow guards are probably from other squads, and I don't know them. As for the Blood Guards, I'm even less familiar with them. Dewey briefly introduced the establishment of the shadow guard.

"This is your waist card and identity, don't tell anyone your true identity, even if it's other shadow guards, this is the rule of our shadow guards, and it's also to protect yourself." Dewey handed over a Praetor's waist tag and some simple materials.

This is an officer named Liu Ming, who is a guerrilla of Liupin, and other information is also introduced in detail. There is also a set of military uniforms for the forbidden army, and it seems that Dewey has already prepared them.

"Brother Du, who in this camp do you think might target the prince?" Xiao Yao still felt that he should ask in more detail.

"It's hard to say now, the factions of the generals here are too complicated, I can't tell for a while, Taiwei Zhang is the prince's teacher, it shouldn't be aimed at the prince, it is estimated that he is the most reliable, the people of the forbidden army are directly responsible for the safety of the prince, and if the prince has an accident, they will not escape the involvement, so it is unlikely that they will be able to, but this is not accurate, the most worrying thing is the battalion generals of the three large battalions. They all have their own hills, and we all have to take precautions. "Dewey put the defensive circle to the maximum.

Regarding Dewey's analysis, Xiao Yao was really a little speechless.

Isn't this something that everyone wants to defend themselves, just by themselves and Dewey, which is very difficult to do. If the other party sends several masters to assassinate at the same time, then there are only two people on his side, how to protect.

Dewey obviously discovered what Xiao Yao meant, "Brother Xiao, you misunderstood, our shadow guard is only responsible for reconnaissance intelligence, peripheral investigation, and specific protection is the matter of the inner guards and blood guards." ”

"Brother Du, do we have a mission tomorrow?"

"Of course there will be, someone came to Jiangbei last night to rob the camp, so tomorrow morning we will raise the account and arrange further military affairs, and the prince will also go, so the two of us must go. It's just that your rank is too low to enter the Shuai Tent, so I will arrange you in the ranks of the prince's entourage when the time comes, so that you can enter the Shuai Tent. When you enter the big tent, you just observe carefully, and you don't want to do anything else, and if you find any abnormalities, you can sue me and I'll deal with it. Dewey immediately made specific arrangements.

Xiao Yao lived next door to Dewey, and slept for two hours, and Dewey came to tell Xiao Yao to get up and go to the main hall to gather.

Xiao Yao washed up briefly, and then came to a hall in a courtyard on the outskirts of the General's Mansion with Dewey, only to see that more than a dozen attendants and guards had gathered inside, and they all greeted him when they saw Dewey.

Obviously, Dewey not only has a relatively high official rank here, but also has a better popularity. Lord Du, who called Dewey, was full of smiles.

Xiao Yao privately pushed Dewey to remind him of today's business. But Dewey didn't do anything, just left Xiao Yao in the hall outside, and he went inside.

After a full hour, two guards came out and searched each one by one, Xiao Yao was no exception, Xiao Yao no longer had any weapons on his body, and the golden seal of Kang Qincha and the piece of jade gui obtained from Phoenix Mountain were all hidden by Xiao Yao in a loose jade belt around his waist.

The silver ticket he carried was hidden in the mezzanine of the sole of his shoes by Xiao Yao, and now there are only two tokens on his body, the token of the shadow guard, the token of the forbidden army, and the waist card of Peng's Tusi Mansion have also been returned.

Therefore, Xiao Yao was inspected, so the body search was only touched a few times on Xiao Yao's body, and there was no specific inspection of the contents of the clothes.

Finally, the day was bright, and the prince came out of the apse with Dewey and others, this is a young man about the same age as Peng Shan, but he seems to be much thinner than Peng Shan, his face is a little pale, his body is slender, and he looks very thoughtful, but no matter how he looks at it, he looks like a weak scholar, and he has no aura as a king at all.

Dewey was by the prince's side, obviously the prince also trusted him, and the group was simply organized into a square team, the prince walked in the middle, and the others surrounded him, with nearly twenty people, and set off for the general's mansion tent next door.

Xiao Yao swept his gaze over these entourages, and found four guys who felt very strong, which was estimated to be some of the eight inner guards, and the martial arts of these people should be similar to Dewey's, but there were no signs of other shadow guards and blood guards in the team.

Could it be that these people are well hidden, and they haven't found out themselves?

Xiao Yao couldn't help but raise his vigilance, and also had a new understanding of the Shadow Blood Guard, this group of people was really well hidden, it seemed that even if it was only eight people, they should be able to protect the prince thoroughly.

The group soon arrived at the big tent of the General's Mansion, without any obstacles, the prince just took the four guards, Dewey, and eight people, including Xiao Yao, into the big tent, and did not go through the main gate, but entered through a corner gate on the side of the big tent, the four guards immediately stood behind the prince in different directions, and Xiao Yao and the three could only stand in the innermost part of the big tent.

When the prince came in, the tent was already full of people, and everyone got up to greet him, and the prince immediately motioned for everyone to do it, and he himself went straight to the handsome desk in the center of the big tent of the Chinese army and sat down.

There was already a person sitting behind the handsome case, an old man in his fifties, Xiao Yao felt that this old man was a little familiar for a while, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

He was dressed in a red robe and covered with software, and the prince was slightly rude to him, and then sat down beside him. Seeing that the prince was seated, everyone else also sat down, and the big tent immediately fell silent for a while.

There are more than 20 generals below, and according to Dewey, the generals who enter this big tent are at least the deputy generals or staff generals of the third rank. The prince seems to be accustomed to such scenes and processes, and he does not bow down or pay homage as Xiao Yao thought, it seems that this Taiwei Zhang has a very close relationship with the prince, and this Taiwei is a very pragmatic person.

Although the red-robed Taiwei Zhang was not tall, he still attracted Xiao Yao's attention, Xiao Yao identified it for a while, and finally recognized that this Taiwei Zhang was the old man he met last time in the garrison camp, and it seemed that this time Pengshan and their opponents were not easy to deal with.

Everyone sat down, and Taiwei Zhang immediately began, cleared his throat, and then said loudly.

"Although Xizhou is a remote place, but this time we are far away, we do not occupy the geographical advantage, so all the generals must be cautious in the use of troops, not to kill the Miao people indiscriminately, not to plunder the army, and not to oppress the local Miao people at will. I said these things in the front, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of military law if something happens. Yao Xin, you can introduce the specific summary of military reports in recent days. ”

A general in his early thirties immediately stood up, took out a briefing note full of fly-headed letters, and began to read aloud from the side of the handsome case.

The briefing read by the general was probably a summary of military affairs in the past few days, from the supply of food and grass to the treatment of wounded soldiers, from the transportation of various baggage loads, to the specific location and actual progress of each battalion.

There are all kinds of contents, Xiao Yao is not interested, but after hearing that seven days later, all the Hongyi cannons have a total of thirty, and they can be transported outside Xizhou City, Xiao Yao still sweated for Peng Shan.

It's just that this is no longer something I can influence, and now it's time to listen to the specific military arrangements of this captain.

After Yao Xin introduced the military intelligence summary, he returned to his original position and sat down.

"We have now basically figured out the strength of the Xizhou garrison, they have about 30,000 people, of which 5,000 are light cavalry, and there are 10,000 troops in the surrounding Tusi." Captain Zhang began to speak.

"Although the Xizhou army is inferior to us in terms of equipment and training, we can't be careless, because the defenders of Xizhou are familiar with the terrain of the surrounding mountains after all, which is also the reason why we have failed to encircle and annihilate us several times."

"Therefore, now our zigzag deployment must continue to be maintained, each battalion sends half of its troops out every day to constantly cut off the logistics of Xizhou City, and half of the troops stay behind, before the Hongyi artillery is in place, we can't rashly launch an attack, this is only the first stop for our troops to Miaojiang, so we can only win, so each battalion must be cautious, and cannot rush into the mountains." Zhang Taiwei began to emphasize discipline.

"All battalions must report the latest battle situation in a timely manner every day, and the commanders of each battalion must make arrangements to prepare for the enemy's surprise attack at night.

"This afternoon, the 40,000 government soldiers gathered will be stationed in the garrison army camp, so our forbidden army and battalion soldiers must first set an example before they can restrain the government soldiers." Mrs. Zhang finally got to the point. It seems that he is still a little uneasy about the government soldiers, so he will ask for the battalion soldiers and the forbidden army so much.
