Chapter 86 Establishment of an Intelligence Service
In the eyes of the Greedy Wolf King, the threat of the other party is very ridiculous, if it is those opponents with relatively strong strength, then he may still have some scruples, but as far as he knows, this human lord has just recently broken through to the innate realm, and the most powerful combat power in his territory is Xiaoqing's blue-scaled giant python, which probably has innate quadruple combat power, so it is not difficult to deal with this kind of weak chicken opponent at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have used it as the first soft persimmon to pinch.
The greedy wolf king, who didn't take Guo Dafu seriously at all, continued to mobilize a large army according to the original plan and prepared to attack.
And since the opponent is not very strong, he is not prepared to send too many large troops to attack, so as not to really be taken advantage of by other enemies.
In the eyes of the Greedy Wolf King, he only needed to send an army of 100,000 to destroy the human lord. And the total number of troops in his hands now is more than 600,000, and 100,000 are divided to attack Guo Dafu's territory, and there are still more than 500,000 troops stationed in the country, which is enough to deter other enemies around him.
At the same time, on the side of the Holy Tree Kingdom, the battle with the White Elephant Empire has not stopped, but as the casualties continue to increase, the White Elephant Empire's offensive is becoming more and more weak, and it looks more like a perfunctory task to deal with the peak, often crackling for a day, and the last look at the casualties is actually in single digits.
The Sacred Tree King did not relax his vigilance because of this, because this was probably the White Elephant King's strategy to paralyze it, and the other party was probably holding back something bad in secret!
In addition, it also heard the news that Guo Dafu's side was likely to break out in the near future, in order to facilitate the two sides to support each other in the future, the Holy Tree King took advantage of the relatively low intensity of the battle during this time, and transferred a group of second-line troops to start building a road to Guo Dafu's territory in the territory.
Guo Dafu is also happy to see this, because there is no communication between the two sides, so naturally there is no road, the army marches very time, if there is a wide and flat road for the march, then his army can march hundreds of kilometers a day is no problem.
A week later, Liu Lin finally led the army back to Thang Long City, where the civilians were exhausted from the long journey, and some of them were sick and sick.
Fortunately, Guo Dafu and their side have long been prepared to receive these civilians, and those sick civilians have also been treated immediately, the old Chinese medicine doctors recruited by Su Li are really powerful, and dozens of apprentices have been trained in the territory in such a short time, and it is with the help of these apprentices who have mastered some basic medical skills that those sick old and weak can be properly treated so quickly.
After Guo Dafu and Su Li discussed, they also planned to let those old Chinese medicine doctors train a group of medical soldiers who had mastered various first-aid knowledge, which could greatly reduce the casualty rate of the troops in battle.
In order to appease the newcomers, Guo Dafu often visited the residential areas where these civilians were housed, so as to understand the real thoughts of these people.
He was a little worried that many of the newly relocated people were afraid of the coming war.
This is not to blame these civilians, after all, they have always been well protected by the Sacred Tree King in the Sacred Tree Kingdom before, and they live a carefree life in a small town in the core area of the Sacred Tree Kingdom.
As a result, as soon as he moved to Guo Dafu, he heard that a fierce beast king called the greedy wolf king was going to send troops to attack Guo Dafu's territory.
And that greedy wolf king was the most powerful general under the command of the Spirit Snake King before, with an army of hundreds of thousands. And Guo Dafu's side only has tens of thousands of troops, and the number of masters is far inferior to that of the greedy wolf empire.
Therefore, these people who had just migrated felt that Guo Dafu had little chance of winning this battle, and they might continue to flee soon, and many of them were inclined to flee back to the Sacred Tree Kingdom and ask the Sacred Tree King to protect them. Some of these humans even regretted why they didn't swear allegiance to the Sacred Tree King sooner, so that they could become the other party's dependents and stay in the Sacred Tree Kingdom in the name of justice.
On this day, after Guo Dafu finished his visit, he walked towards his city lord's mansion while pondering, but when he was halfway there, he was stopped by a rat man.
After the destruction of the Rat Kingdom, the most heinous Nezumi warriors were killed, and most of those who did not die were sentenced to hard labor and did the dirtiest and most tiring work in the territory, such as mining, building walls, and building roads.
And the rat man in front of him who suddenly jumped out and stopped Guo Dafu was an unlucky guy who had been sentenced to ten years of hard labor, named Big Ear, named after his pair of rat ears that had become extraordinarily large due to mutations.
After stopping Guo Dafu, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Da Er immediately said straight to the point: "Lord Lord, I have important information to report to you!" ”
Guo Dafu raised his hand to stop the two guards who were about to step forward, looked up at the rat man, and asked with interest, "What information do you have to tell me?" If it's a trivial thing to waste my time, you should know the consequences of doing so! ”
"Lord Lord, it's really very important information, there are a lot of people here, it's inconvenient to talk about it!" As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes to the other nezumi laborers not far away.
Guo Dafu also felt that if there was really any important information, it would not be convenient for these rats who were still prisoners to hear, so he took the big ear to a small cabin where the guards who were guarding them were resting, and then asked the others to leave, leaving only him and Da Er in the room.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Da Er finally told Guo Dafu the information in his mouth.
It turned out that as a second-generation rat born and raised in the Fierce Rat Kingdom, this big ear was very trusted by the Steeltooth Rat King, and absorbed it into an intelligence organization he personally established at a very early age.
The main task of this intelligence organization is to let these rat people who are loyal to the Steeltooth Rat King, but whose physical mutations are not too serious, find a way to infiltrate other human camps and towns, and secretly investigate the intelligence of these human camps and towns, so that the Steeltooth Rat King can formulate corresponding tactics and capture these human camps and towns with the minimum cost.
And now although the Fierce Rat Kingdom has been destroyed, the intelligence organization where Da Er is located, because it was directly responsible for the Steel Tooth Rat King in the past, so many people have not been found out in the latent state, and even during this time, Da Er found that among the human survivors who came to Guo Dafu's territory recently, there were some secret agents cultivated by this organization.
Therefore, Da Er suspected that it might be that the greedy wolf king received some of the manpower of this organization after the steel-toothed rat king was killed, reactivated it, and sent secret agents to Guo Dafu to spy on intelligence.
After Guo Dafu listened to these words of Da Er, he also attached great importance to this matter, after all, it was said in this military book: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! In war, intelligence is extremely important for an army.
Now he can basically be said to be blind to the situation of the army on the side of the greedy wolf king, if the other party has really quietly sent secret agents to his territory and spied a lot of information, then once the two sides start fighting, his side will undoubtedly be very passive.
In order to let Da Er fully cooperate with him to find out those spies who were mixed in his territory, Guo Dafu pardoned the other party's crimes on the spot, and promoted his military rank to captain, and later specially helped him train intelligence personnel, and when the intelligence department was officially established, Da Er will be the deputy minister of the intelligence department.
Da Er took the risk to inform Guo Dafu of the news he knew, originally just wanted to be exempted from his ten years of hard labor, but now not only did he achieve his original goal, but also planned to reuse him looking at Guo Dafu's posture, which made Da Er feel very excited, and soon consciously wrote out the list of those personnel he had in his hands to Guo Dafu.
Because Da Er used to have a high status in the Fierce Rat Kingdom, he had access to a lot of confidential information, and it was also the direct online of many intelligence leaders located in various places, so the list in his hand, although it was not all the secret agents of the Fierce Rat Kingdom, but at least it accounted for most of it, and this was definitely an extremely important list.
Guo Dafu looked at the hundreds of names on the list, and couldn't help but sigh, the steel-toothed rat king is indeed a little capable, although the strength is not too strong compared to other fierce beast kings, but this brain is very good! In particular, this intelligence warfare work has been really good.
If this guy hadn't been killed directly by Xiaoqing, he would definitely not have been so smooth when he wanted to destroy the Fierce Rat Kingdom.
In this list, Guo Dafu found that there were not many rat people, and most of them were high-level beings who were in command behind the scenes. The spies who have really infiltrated human camps and towns are more human survivors who have secretly taken refuge in the rat people.
Due to the increasingly harsh living environment of the Xuangu Continent, many human survivors are no longer able to guarantee even basic food and clothing. Therefore, those rat people can often use some cheap food to lure those human survivors to secretly take refuge.
In addition, in addition to infiltrating those major human camps and towns, there are some secret agents who have actually been sent to fierce beast countries such as the White Elephant Empire and the Holy Tree Kingdom, which can also be seen that the ambition of the steel-toothed rat king is really not small!
If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, killed the Steel-toothed Rat King, let this guy secretly develop for some more time, maybe this Steel-toothed Rat King would even challenge these powerful beast kingdoms, and even fight against the master of the Spirit Snake King.
That's right, from Da Er, Guo Dafu has completely confirmed that the Steel-toothed Rat King is a fierce beast force secretly supported by the Spirit Snake King, and the two sides have always maintained contact with each other.
After all, the greedy wolf king used to be a general under the Spirit Snake King, and it is likely that he also knew about the existence of this organization, and in the process of receiving the inheritance of the Spirit Snake King, it is a very reasonable inference to accept it by the way.
Guo Dafu also agreed with the other party's inference, so after discussing it with Da Er, he decided to allocate a group of personnel, led by Da Er, to test those people and wait for an opportunity to arrest them without causing a big turmoil in the territory.
The first thing to find out is whether the greedy wolf king has received this intelligence organization, and if so, how much information has been spied on Guo Dafu's territory.
And in order to prevent Da Er from rebelling, Guo Dafu relied on his strong spiritual power to secretly hypnotize him, leaving a trace of divine thought in the depths of his sea of knowledge, once the other party had the idea of betraying him, this trace of divine thought immediately detonated his sea of knowledge, so that Da Er was directly brain dead.
