Chapter 556: News from Far Away

A month later, Zhou Zhan, who already had a lot of money and had formed an army with good combat effectiveness, trained his troops in the form of group mercenaries. Coupled with the money of their group, they soon got the position of branch president of the mercenary union in the main city. This gives them an increasing advantage, and it won't be long before they have the strength to capture a city.

They have a lot of money and connections, and they didn't let the money rust in the warehouse. In addition to daily expenses, investments, and army building, they poured the rest of the money into intelligence.

They can see that at least the situation of the two sides of the enemy and our camp in one country is very small, but with the mentality of casting a wide net, an intelligence network has also been arranged in the country where they were born. In addition to collecting information on the adversary, this intelligence network also plays the role of counter-reconnaissance. Even in order to hide the information of his own team, Zhou Zhan even built the initial village into a tight airtight.

The hard work paid off, and two months later. Zhou was in a large caravan that had come from afar to trade, and unexpectedly got news about the side of the gods.

"My lord, I think this is too much of a coincidence, and I suggest sending my own people to investigate again."

Alan and Zhou have the same concerns, but Zhou rejects Allen's proposal. He felt that since this was a trap artificially created by the other party, he wanted to lure them into falling for it. If you really send your own people, there is a high possibility that you will be touched by the other party. He doesn't think that these gods are so naΓ―ve, as a guy who can achieve gods, which one is easy?

"No, it's better to hire some mercenaries through intermediaries or underground places to confirm the source of the news. In addition, we need to focus on conducting assassination training for our subordinates. ”

"Assassination training?"

Alan felt that this move not only delayed time, but also wasted money. In order to convince his own adults, Alan turned his head to the Emile father and son. He hoped that the father and son would give advice to their adults.

"I think it's a good move!" Seeing that Sauron not only advised Zhou to kill the injury, but also echoed it, Alan frowned at this time and was about to speak.

"Don't worry, Alan, you listen to me first!"

Seeing that Eren had an open posture, Sauron first persuaded him, and then began to elaborate his opinion.

"The reason why I agree with the adults is that training their men to assassinate them can be used not only for attack, but also for defense. If the other party really finds them, we also have a plan to cut off their outstretched claws, right? ”

After listening to Sauron's point of view, Alan no longer insisted, and nodded approvingly. In addition to training his subordinates to assassinate, Alan actually prefers a ** past. But now, after Sauron's suggestion, I feel that since I can build it like an iron bucket here, it may not be impossible for others to do the same thing. Moreover, taking the initiative to push over may not have reached other people's territory, and those local forces on the way may start to act because of uneasiness.

Of course, these are not the scariest of all. The most terrifying thing is that some of the big nobles of the kingdom are afraid that because they see their own strength, they will find a reason to force themselves and others to be loyal. When the time comes, let alone pushing over to do a wave of gods, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to get rid of those big nobles.

"That's right, sir. What is our target in the information that the caravan has not inadvertently revealed? ”

As Alan spoke, Emir's father and son also turned their heads to Zhou to destroy them, and they were also curious about the location of those gods.

"According to those merchants, they are at the borders of the hostile countries of our empire."

Because when Zhou Xuan summoned them over to discuss the matter before, it showed that this big caravan also got the news indirectly, so how to verify this news and how to verify it depends on Zhou Xuan's decision. Although Zhou Zhanshu suggested that the authenticity of this news be investigated through indirect means, he felt that it was a bit of a delay in a single way. If the forces developed by your own group can flatten the opponent, you may miss a chance to defeat them.

Just when Zhou Xuan's injury caused by Allen's problem caused a vacillation in his thinking, Amir suggested: "If we sell our industry and expand our foundation on the one hand and the army on the other in the way of traveling merchants, will we not delay both?" ”

The idea provided by Emile made Zhou Xuan's eyes shine, and he felt that Amir's proposal was very good. In the name of the wandering caravan, not only can you justifiably collect the guards, but you can also hide the real combat power in it. At that time, as long as it is under the guise of a joint caravan, it is natural for you to let this caravan have a few more 'merchants'.

This way of growing while developing not only solves the problem of prying eyes of the great nobles, but also saves many unnecessary troubles. As long as enough forces were recruited to join the group, Zhou Zhan believed that with the political influence of this joint caravan, it could even go all the way unimpeded. The only thing you might be worried about is the enemy army's army and the unsightly wild road thieves.

"Amir's proposal is good, but the property doesn't have to be sold completely. At least the foundation of the village cannot be lost, and as for the main city, it is good to maintain an empty shell. As for those who secretly inquired about information through intermediaries or underground forces, we will also dispatch them. Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang! It's also very good to use those spies from other forces as targets for us. ”

Zhou's routine of destroying injuries caused Allen to be speechless. They didn't expect this product to be so insidious, but this method is really good, not only can it effectively prevent the enemy's trick of luring the snake out of the hole, but also take the opportunity to counter a wave. However, the plan proposed by Zhou Xuanshu was not perfect, his routine was based on the other party's desire to lure the snake out of the hole, and the foundation was indeed at the location mentioned by the passing caravan.

In the unlikely event that the enemy had deceived them with an empty shell, their arrangement would be of little use.

There is a way that the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, and Zhou Zhan didn't expect that if he countered the other party's routine, he brought it up in the meeting and asked the other three to help him think about it.

"Confuse us with empty shells and buy time for their development? It's possible, but even if that's the case, they're definitely close to the target. Or the target location is the place they are about to give up, otherwise they will lose more than they gain. Therefore, it is not a loss for us to take the initiative to 'enter the set'. ”

The views of Sauron, who was old and serious, were quickly recognized by everyone. When he finished, Amir added, "However, we should not take it lightly when we get there. It's best to look at the underground bounty holders first. If they do get touched, we'd better use another wave of bounties to the rescue, and we'll just keep an eye on the bounties who go to the rescue. ”

Although the plan proposed by Emir is more expensive, it firmly hides himself and others in the fog. As long as the other party is not using a series of routines, his plan is enough to deal with a variety of situations.
