The flame of the wax torch swayed slightly in the night breeze, and it was getting late, but the room was still busy.

"Be careful, keep this document on file and send two more copies to Choi Shouza and Mei Shumi. Zhang Wanshan finished signing, and then handed it to the person next to him, "Please sign the opinion." ”

"Okay. "Engage in carefully taking the document, and then start the sealing, after which it needs to be sent and archived.

At the other end of the long table, two other young men were carefully reading the stacked papers.

This is the main hall of Wuwen Hall in Shouzhou.

Although the strategic focus of Huaiyou (Wuning) has been shifted to Xuzhou, according to the separate planning of the Huaiyou and Wuning two jiedu envoys, Xuzhou and Shouzhou will still temporarily maintain the current situation for a period of time.

Wuwentang's headquarters in Xuzhou has begun to be formed, and it is currently being built by Cycad, while the Shouzhou headquarters is still in charge of Zhang Wanshan, and the next step Wuwentang will consider setting up a branch in Yanzhou, mainly responsible for intelligence collection on Pinglu and Heshuo, and after the establishment of the Yanzhou branch, the Shouzhou headquarters will be downgraded to a branch, and the headquarters will be officially transferred to Xuzhou.

At the same time, the internal functions of Wuwentang are also brewing and decomposing, mainly decomposed into the collection of external intelligence and the collection of internal intelligence and anti-espionage and anti-counter-attack, in short, the collection of external intelligence, and the stability of the internal regime, but it still takes a process to decompose the functions and deploy personnel, at least before the current situation is stabilized, it is not conducive to the development of the work.

Finally signed all the documents, Zhang Wanshan also felt that his mind was a little cloudy, stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, and a cool breeze hit him, clearing his mind.

During this time, the information from all sides is summarized, then screened out after several rounds, analyzed and summarized, and finally provided to the Privy Council and the General Staff for reference, and if necessary, copied to the Government Office.

Fortunately, the Xuzhou headquarters that the cycads have just set up in Xuzhou has begun to play a role, but due to the lack of manpower there, many systems have not been fully built, so in addition to the intelligence of Yanyunyi and Xu Sihai in the Xuzhou headquarters for analysis, only Heshuo and Pinglu intelligence are transmitted to Xuzhou, and other intelligence from Huainan, Caizhou, Wuyue, Tanyue, Guanzhong, Nanyang, Daliang, Ehuang, Hedong and even Liangchuan, Jiangling and other places are still gathered in Shouzhou.

Fortunately, the "close to the end of the world" system has begun to build, first of all, to ensure the connection between Xuzhou and Shouzhou, to take a special way to breed the golden-eyed pigeon and the white falcon has been initially built results, from Xuzhou to Shouzhou, the golden-eyed pigeon only needs three hours to fly, and the white falcon is faster, only less than two hours to fly.

However, there are pros and cons to the transmission of messages from these two types of birds.

The golden-eyed pigeon is the most stable, and if there is no accident, it can fly accurately to its destination, but its flight altitude is low, and if it is attacked by birds of prey or arrows on the ground, it is easy to be captured by predators.

The white falcon belongs to the small raptor series, with a high flight altitude, not easy to be captured by predators, and fast speed, but it is easily disturbed, once it encounters the influence of weather or prey, it will abandon the target, and it is difficult to domesticate.

These two bird transmission systems were brought over by a magician dug by Huaiyou from Nanyang, and then after a series of cultivation and improvement, they had initial results.

Nanyang has come to the forefront in the domestication of birds and beasts, which is also Jiang Feng's great concern, so he asked Wuwentang and Daozang to cooperate, and try every possible way to dig some talents from Nanyang, fortunately, in addition to the pigeon in Nanyang, more energy is still focused on the domestication of beasts, such as Jiang Feng once encountered the green badger on the way to Daliang, so Huaiyou can dig some talents from Nanyang.

According to Wuwentang's plan, the first thing to do is to establish a "close to the world" liaison system in Xuzhou, Shouzhou and Luzhou to ensure that the information exchange between the three places can be accurately transmitted within five hours.

At present, this system between Xuzhou and Shouzhou has begun to operate, because the number of golden-eyed pigeons and white falcons bred in the early stage is still very small, especially the white falcon, which is still in the experimental stage, can only ensure the information transmission between Shouzhou and Xuzhou.

It is expected that by the end of the year, the rapid exchange of information between Luzhou, Shouzhou and Xuzhou will be realized, and by the end of spring next year, the information transmission from Yanzhou to Xuzhou will be solved.

Only after solving the rapid internal information contact of Huaiyou (Wuning) will the information transmission system between Bianliang, Guanzhong, Nanyang, Yangzhou, Youzhou and Xuzhou be considered.

This system is quite large in the later stage, especially if you want to get the local intelligence stations to establish this kind of liaison system with Xuzhou, the cost is huge, and the risk will increase dramatically.

In fact, in this time and space, all the great feudal clans are trying to explore this aspect, such as Nanyang is at the forefront, but Nanyang's path is a little off, although it was the first to lead in the carrier pigeon system, but later it focused more on the domestication and use of other beasts such as tracking and reconnaissance.

Of course, Jiang Feng, a person who came over, did not allow Huaiyou (Wuning) to follow the old path of Nanyang, but focused on the development of the message transmission system, such as the golden-eyed pigeon and the white falcon were developed on the Nanyang carrier pigeon system, which can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants and taking the first step.

"What is the situation of the East Ant Thief and Li Wu?" Noticing that the two subordinates had already dealt with the urgent items and sorted out some of them and handed them to themselves according to the routine, Zhang Wanshan knew that there should be no special urgency, otherwise he should have given it to himself a long time ago.

"There are some new movements of the ant thieves, but it is not clear yet, only that they have sent more scouts to the south, and they are also collecting supplies according to their usual practice in Xuyi. A subordinate quickly replied: "The situation in Yancheng is similar, but the action is more intense, saying that for some slightly disobedient salt merchants, the ant thieves have taken the method of depriving their property, which is somewhat beyond the bottom line determined by the ant thieves in the past, but this kind of behavior has not been fully rolled out." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Wanshan took the document handed in by his subordinates, and pondered intently, is there anything new here?

In order to gain a foothold in Chuzhou, the ant thieves have always been tolerant of the local gentry, as long as they are not directly opposed to their gentry, they can basically be preserved, why has there been some changes now?

But they did not return to their previous policy of completely exterminating the gentry, which is a little uncertain.

Seeing that the boss frowned and pondered, the two subordinates also did not squeak and waited.

"Is there any sign of adjustment in the ant thief army?" asked Zhang Wanshan as he checked the document.

"It has not yet been reflected, but judging from the movement on the Caoqu side, the attack of the water robbers in the Gaoyou area is obviously showing signs of weakening, and even on the line from Gaoyou to Shanyang, the number of water bandits that have been quite active has been greatly reduced. Another subordinate then added.

"The activities of the water bandits have also decreased?" Zhang Wanshan stopped what he was doing, "Is it because the supplies from Yangzhou have decreased, or is it because the Yangzhou Navy has strengthened the escort?"

"The supply in Yangzhou is still according to the original law, of course, from time to time, but after all, such a large fleet can't escape the eyes of the water bandits, but the water robbers of Fanliang Lake and Baima Lake seem to have shrunk into the lake, and the people in Baishuitang are nowhere to be seen. A subordinate shook his head: "The Yangzhou Navy has always had the upper hand, and the water robbers have been harassing like wolves before, but this time has been much less. ”

"What about the attack on the side of Shanyang City and Gaoyou City?" Zhang Wanshan felt a little strange in his heart, and asked after a little thought.

"There is no movement on Gaoyou's side, but Shanyang City's side is more intense, the ant thieves are frantically besieging two days ago, and the intelligence shows that it is extremely tragic. ”

"This is strange, if you don't cut off the supply from Yangzhou, how can the ant thieves be able to attack Shanyang? Zhang Wanshan was also a little puzzled, could it be that the ant thieves wanted to use the onslaught on Shanyang to attract the Eastern Navy on Gaoyou's side, and they wanted a siege point to send reinforcements?

"Does Gaoyou have any reinforcements to Shanyang?" Zhang Wanshan asked again.

"Yes, but they were all transported by water, and now that there are no water bandits in Caoqu, it will be much faster to travel by water. ”

Zhang Wanshan finally felt that something was wrong, this was not in line with the ant thief's strategy, and this kind of tactics that obviously consumed the ant thief's vital strength were obviously unreasonable, unless the ant thief had other plans.

"Get the map!" Zhang Wanshan quickly flipped through the documents submitted by his subordinates again, his face was a little ugly, and when the map was sent, he carefully examined it for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Duo'an rejects waiting to go to Tianchang to investigate on the front line of Liuhe, I'm afraid that the ant thieves have new trends! In addition, inform Chuzhou that you must be careful, I'm afraid that the ant thieves will have abnormal movements!"

Zhang Wanshan's words made everyone in the hall a little shocked, everyone put down the things in their hands, looked at Zhang Wanshan, a subordinate was a little bolder, and asked in a deep voice: "My lord, do you mean that the ant thief wants to change the target?"

"It's very likely! The battle has reached this level, I'm afraid that the ant thief realizes that Li Yu will not give up Chuzhou, and will continue to consume, especially when I feel that our Huaiyou has taken Xuzhou, and now we have captured Chuzhou, maybe the ant thief is a little worried about being attacked from both sides!"

Zhang Wanshan's language is also a little uncertain.

After all, the things obtained by intelligence alone are far from explaining anything, you must know that the ant thieves have spent several months in order to defeat Shanyang, with at least tens of thousands of dead and injured, and the king also said that the ant thieves are afraid that they want to land in Chuzhou to wash their hands, how can they easily change their goals?

You must know that this change is a strategic change, and the whole Jiangnan will change color for it!
