Chapter 957: Eight Hundred (2)
Shi Wan and Shi Ting searched for half a night, until there was no one on the street, and then they returned to the hotel, and the food they ate at night could not make ends meet. But they still couldn't find anything special about the remnants, not even a retreat point.
Because the Pan family, the Wu family, the Di family, and the Lejia family had formed an alliance and secretly placed the retreat site in another city not far from Yuyu, only separated by three mountains. There was a more military-value bridge in that city, more than three times as wide as the bridge that crossed the river.
This is the news obtained from the Shi family, although Shi Wan is no longer in the Shi family, but the news network of the Shi family can still be used, Shi Wan plus Shi Ting, almost all the confidential information can be obtained. And this news was just heard by the Shi family this afternoon.
Eating supper, Shi Wan was thinking about whether to tell Guan Jue about these things. Shi Ting looked at her and couldn't help but say, "Guan Jue should have their own plans, and they obviously want to leave us alone, so don't talk about it." ”
"Hmm." Shi Wan thought about it and felt that this was the case, so she nodded and stopped thinking about it. In fact, she still had some schadenfreude in her heart, and she wanted to know what Guan Jue's expression would be after she knew that what they had done was useless.
Although Shi Wan didn't know what they were doing here.
Lying in bed at night, because she walked the entire waterfront walkway outside, Shiwan was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep not long after. Shi Ting, who lived next door, faintly heard Shi Wan's steady breathing through the wall, and also closed his eyes and began to practice.
From time to time, one or two cars drove up in the street below the window, looking for a place to pitch a tent, looking for a place to park. Probably since this is the last group of people to run out of Xuanshan Province, and if the Kingdom of God continues to move forward, they should continue to move towards Sanchao Province.
Of course, these people who ran out were the richer ones in Xuanshan Province. People who don't have money are unwilling to leave their current life behind, after all, even if the kingdom of God is approaching, all companies and units are still operating, and their departure means losing their current jobs forever.
It's not easy to find a job in the Empire, and it's even harder to have a job that you've been doing for half your life. Not many people have the courage to give up, because giving up means that almost half of their previous efforts have been lost.
Of course, the CEOs of these companies and the leaders of the units have all run away.
If it weren't for seeing it so intuitively now, Guan Jue wouldn't have realized that Xuanshan Province, a province that has been restricted from mineral mining and has almost declined for thousands of years, still has so many rich people. Of course, the rich are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and those who live in tents below are just a little rich.
Just look at the attitude of the hotel lobby manager, the real people with a lot of money will not stay in such a place, and they have long been transferred to villas in other provinces. The sons of daughters do not sit down, they will not put themselves on the brink of danger, and they will not take chances.
Walking on the street, Guan Jue was wearing a dark dress and a hood. Because autumn is already deep, the evening style in the mountains is cool, and no one notices his outfit. Walking down the street like this, Guan Jue carefully observed the remaining streets and alleys and park squares.
Shi Wan had already fallen asleep, and she didn't know that Guan Jue, who had been paying attention to her, had been wandering the streets for so long. If she knew, I was afraid that she would have to walk all over again the roads Guan Jue had walked, but there was still no way to see what Guan Jue had seen that they couldn't see.
What exactly is Guan Jue looking at? Nobody knows.
Of course, he knew that the four great families had already placed their retreat in the city next door, although it was only separated by three mountains, but the two cities were still very different. Whether it is in terms of the level of the bridge across the river or in terms of strategic location, it is not the same.
But a good strategist never sticks to the information that has been presented. Guan Jue is like this, An Xiaoyu is like this, and the same is true for other excellent commanders. Moreover, Guan Jue's subordinates are only twenty now, so he can't help but be uncautious.
Bai Zi floated in his hood, recording what Guan Jue whispered from time to time, and in the silent street, no one knew what Guan Jue said or remembered. He tirelessly walked through the streets and alleys, and when he returned to the hotel the next morning, he had a good idea of what was going on in the city.
Shi Wan went downstairs to the restaurant to eat, and saw Guan Jue sitting in the restaurant enjoying a millet porridge and a few fritters, and couldn't help but be surprised, did this person get up so early? She couldn't help but ask, "Just you?" And what about them from the west? ”
Guan Jue said casually: "They went out to survey the situation in the city." ”
Well, Shi Wan was frustrated. She thought that she had worked very hard when she was a student, and after becoming a trainee lecturer, she got up early and greedy late, although she was very tired yesterday, but today she still got up according to the habitual biological clock, but it is still not as good as those who are soldiers.
Sitting on the side, Shi Wan asked for an early meal, and couldn't help but be curious while waiting. Guan Jue is not a fool, but very smart, and what he is doing now must have a purpose. Isn't his purpose the Master family or the Four Great Families? Thinking of this, Shi Wan couldn't help but look at Guan Jue, who was drinking porridge.
is not elegant at all, although he is wearing white clothes, his hair is also meticulously combed, with gray hair color and pure white sideburns, Guan Jue is actually very elegant. Of course, in the case of not looking at the face. But his current actions are really not very noble.
Holding the fritters in one hand, and holding the porridge bowl casually in the other, he raised his head and drank it all. After drinking, he stuffed the fritters into his mouth, and before he could finish chewing, he took out a paper towel and wiped his mouth and hands, and while chewing, he stood up and threw the spoon into the bowl.
Seeing Shi Wan coming over, Guan Jue swallowed what was in his mouth, showed a sinister smile, nodded at her and left.
Shi Wan only felt a chill coming from behind, and couldn't help but shiver.
Shi Ting asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's a little cold."
Shi Ting nodded and put the soy milk in front of her: "Drink some and add a piece of clothing, the cold wave has arrived in Xuanshan Province today, and our side is obviously the first city to come into contact with the cold wave." After two days, the entire territory of Xuanshan Province will change temperature. Even the south can't escape the onset of winter. ”
Shi Wan nodded, not saying that it was Guan Jue's smile that made her shudder, and after taking a sip of soy milk, her appetite opened.
After breakfast, when he went upstairs, Guan Jue still locked himself in the room, and Shi Wan was not surprised. After resting for a while, a coat came, and Shi Wan and Shi Ting left the hotel, trying to find something special about the city again.
And Guan Jue is really sleeping now.
All the things that should be done last night have been done, and his work is over for the time being, and the rest depends on their operations from the west. Since the imperial capital, he has not been idle, and this day is the first day after he left, when he has nothing to do, of course, he has to sleep well.
Just as Guan Jue appeared in Yuyu, no one knew that Pan Yu had left the Pan family's garrison base, but quietly took a secret train line, bypassing the advancing kingdom of God, and heading towards the large area behind the kingdom of God that had become barren.
The kingdom of God has now grown so great that it has grown from covering only one city at the beginning, to now almost spanning the villages and wilderness in the middle of the city, covering the confines of two cities. Such a huge goal is moving towards the center of Xuanshan Province, and the speed is not slow.
According to the calculations of the central government of the empire, when the Kingdom of God reached the central capital of Xuanshan Province, it should be four days later. And by that time, the kingdom of God should be able to reach a tipping point after devouring many of the populations in the provincial capital, because they have detected a strange heartbeat-like fluctuation emanating from the kingdom of God.
Zhan Pei would never come this way without a purpose.
In order to prevent a huge riot in the city, the Empire concealed the fact that the Kingdom of God was able to increase its speed in an instant. In many previous cities, before people could escape, the kingdom of God suddenly appeared over the city and devoured all the people.
And with only three days, it is obviously impossible to transfer all the people in the vicinity of the Divine Kingdom in Xuanshan Province, including the provincial capital. Therefore, they are waiting, waiting for An Xiaoyu, who has entered the kingdom of God, to surprise them again.
Of course, they were also prepared for the worst. In addition to the cities and provincial capitals on the current route of the Kingdom of God, preparations are already underway for the transfer of people from other cities. The transport planes mobilized from all over the country, the trainsets that had begun to secretly gather towards Xuanshan Province, could ensure that about 80 percent of the personnel of Xuanshan Province would be transferred at the moment when the Kingdom of God arrived at the provincial capital and expanded rapidly.
Eighty percent is already the limit, and this is still the level that can be achieved with five or six days of preparation in advance. So, they were waiting for An Xiaoyu. Waiting for An Xiaoyu to be able to solve this crisis again, even someone in the imperial capital has already proposed that this matter itself was made by An Xiaoyu, and Lingzun should take responsibility for this unrealistic suggestion.
For this kind of suggestion, neither the new court nor the Military Commission paid attention to it, and there was no response among the people, so they could only stumble around in the corner.
Pan Yu sat in front of the car window, looking sideways at the kingdom of God that looked like the sun in the night sky. Now is the moment they are closest to the kingdom of God, and then they continue to move forward, turn a corner, and go out from the next city, and arrive at the area where no one has been awake after the kingdom of God has passed.
This was the first time he had seen the appearance of the Kingdom of God so close with his own eyes, the four-layer structure of the Kingdom of God was already very clear, and he could hear the divine sounds of countless golden light people kneeling and chanting in the human world from thousands of miles away, which was a very uncomfortable feeling in people's hearts.
Frowning, Pan Yu put down the electronic board in his hand, turned his head and closed his eyes, trying to dispel the irritability in his heart.
Fortunately, the speed of the train was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to pass through the section closest to the kingdom of God, and the chanting of the divine sound began to faintly intermittently, no longer reaching people's hearts so clearly. Pan Yu opened his eyes and whispered, "Go see if anyone has any problems." ”
The deputy next to him is not Shu Hongji, he is now sitting at the Pan family's headquarters with Pan Wei, making other preparations. However, the current deputy is also a very shrewd and capable adjutant in the army, and after hearing Pan Yu's words, he immediately stood up and walked towards the rear carriage.
He had just felt the impact of those voices on people, and if he hadn't had a firm will, he would definitely be disturbed by those voices, making people upset and even lose their minds. Xuanshan Province is not a border, and of course many of their soldiers have not experienced combat.
When I came to the rear carriage and checked one or two, I found that there were a few soldiers who were usually not very firm, or who had some psychological problems, who were disturbed by the divine sound, and now became chattering, chanting some mysterious syllables in their mouths.
Soon, the train left the kingdom of God behind and placed the soldiers in the hospital at the next station. The people in the city were glad that they had not just been swallowed by the kingdom of God, and no one noticed that the train passed quietly, and even left a few people here.
After leaving the city, the train continued on its way to no man's land.
No man's land is now truly no man's land, and the surrounding landscape, whether it is a village or a wilderness, a city or a suburb, is completely empty. Looking at the people lying on the ground at the station and on the street, the vehicles blocking the road did not move, and Pan Yu was also silent.
At the beginning of the passage of the kingdom of God, no one was able to escape.
Pan Yu felt creepy at the thought that after being devoured by the kingdom of God, the divine soul would leave his body and become a muddy puppet to bow down to the loser who was 10,000 years ago. At the same time, his heart is also more determined, this time the battle must be successful!
Be sure to succeed!
The train stopped, and it was their last stop. The soldiers, having changed into their uniforms, put on their marching backpacks, and were fully armed, assembled at the empty station, and rushed into the endless wilderness at night. Pan Yu took up a television station in a small nearby county town and set up a temporary command center.
The remaining regiment of the Pan family, a full 40,000 people, and 35,000 people have followed Pan Yu to the wasteland of no man's land. There were 5,000 people left at the headquarters to cover people's eyes, and no one knew that their real purpose was actually the elite of the division who were also hiding in the wasteland.
Where are the people of the Shi family, Pan Yu has already made some guesses in advance, and with the help of Pan Wei, he figured out the thoughts of those old guys, and roughly determined several cities that may be hiding soldiers, all of which are undoubtedly small cities close to Meigang.
Thirty-five thousand men divided into three groups and headed for the three most likely cities among them. According to the marching plan they designed, they could form an encirclement and surround the division's men under any circumstances, in any city, and if any number of people were found.
According to the current speculation, the people who entered the wasteland should be those who have just withdrawn from the coastline. Just like Pan Yu and them, the Shi family used the method of cultivating the plank road to secretly Chen Cang, ostensibly withdrawing the elites on the coastline to the headquarters, but in fact, most of the people came here.
Whether it is in the team of the Shi family or the team of the Pan family, there will be spies of the other party. As a great family that has controlled the garrison of Xuanshan Province for so many years, it is impossible for both sides to let each other's spies go deep into the highest level, and there may be some time deviations in the acquisition of intelligence.
But now there are only four days left, and after four sunrises, the entire Xuanshan Province will undergo great changes. It can be said that the current struggle between the four major families is to seize all the time to see who can act faster and who can get the greatest benefits.
Of course, the premise is that during the entire four days, they can do everything, and then send the people out through Meigang or other channels, and when the affairs of the kingdom of God are over, they will rush back as soon as possible to control their vested interests.
"The Shijia family has now occupied the Longkou River, starting from Meigang, and gradually approaching this side. It is estimated that at noon today, they will be able to go to the next city and hold the last exit. When the time comes, if the four major families want to leave, they can only succumb to the arrangement of the Shi family. Guan Jue's chopsticks lit on the light screen.
Xi said: "As expected, the master's actions are a little faster than before. ”
Shi Wan and Shi Ting were also a little curious when they listened to it, why was the Shi family's actions so anxious? Logically speaking, it should be the time when the various families are still dealing with the small warlords in Xuanshan Province, but when they arrive at the Kingdom of God more than three days away, they will act.
Shi Ting whispered, "There must be something behind this that we don't know. ”
Shi Wan shrugged her shoulders: "Now that the family has cut off our news channels, it is estimated that they thought that we had completely surrendered to An Xiaoyu and the Eastern Wilderness Army, these old guys!" Really, I'm a good bully, can't I? Anyway, now they must be in trouble in May Harbor. ”
Guan Jue didn't say anything about Meigang, not even about the arrangements in the city next door, but talked about the trajectory of the Kingdom of God and the current deployment of the empire, planning their retreat route, and didn't mention where the eight hundred people who left early had gone.
Shi Wan couldn't help but poke the meat on the plate with a spoon: "All of them are old foxes!" It's good to only say three points...... This person really doesn't even have a point! ”
