Chapter 263: Unknown Army
Of course, Huang Fujian understood what Yin He meant by the misguided event, and now the four main forces of the Bingzhou Army are already referring to Yongzhou, but the two states of Youji in the east have changed so much, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
Huang Fujian looked at the little official standing beside him and ordered, "Go and invite General Zhang quickly."
After a while, Zhang Yunshu hurriedly arrived and saluted Huangfu Jian, "Sir, what happened?"
Huangfu Jian pointed to Yin He, who was sitting on the side, and said, "General Yin, you come!"
Yin He repeated it again, Zhang Yunshu frowned, and said suspiciously, "But I didn't receive any information from the Detective Division!"
Huangfu Jian pondered and said, "Is there such a possibility, Youguo has been put under martial law throughout the country, and Xiangping is far away from the state, and the inspector of the Investigation Department has not been able to send the information out?"
Zhang Yunshu listened to Huang Fujian's analysis and nodded, "This is very likely, but what about the news of the scout?"
Huang Fu Jian shook his head and said, "The scouts sent out from the city haven't been sent yet!"
Because Fenchuan County is close to Jizhou, not only the Jingcheng garrison will spread scouts in Jizhou, but the city will also be safe to wait for Jizhou and Youzhou to investigate, but their means of communication is eagles or pigeons, after all, the distance is far away, and it is impossible to run back and forth.
Zhang Yunshu seemed to think of something, and suddenly became worried, and he asked, "Yesterday's scout information didn't arrive, right?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a low commotion outside, and a small official reported at the door of the lobby: "Mr. Huangfu, General Zhang, a scout has returned, and it seems to be injured!"
Huangfujian and Zhang Yunshu glanced at each other, both saw a look of surprise from each other's expressions, they hurriedly walked out, only to see several soldiers carrying a scout covered in blood arrived, Zhang Yunshu recognized this person, it was Zhang Xu, who had just been promoted to the scout camp Dubo, he was hit by two arrows, his face was pale, it seemed that he had simply bandaged himself, but the arrow was still in the flesh.
A military doctor stepped forward to examine him and massaged him for a while, Zhang Xue slowly woke up, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and report that the Youjun and Ji armies have all withdrawn eastward."
Huang Fujian stepped forward and said, "Ask his subordinates! Why is there only one person coming back?"
Zhang Yunshu asked, "What about your subordinates?"
When Zhang Xue heard the inquiry, tears flowed down his eyes and he began to cry, "They are all killed, and they have encountered a three-hundred-man sentry cavalry."
Huang Fujian hurriedly instructed, "Send him to be treated quickly, and he is not allowed to die!"
The military doctor rushed away with a few soldiers carrying Zhang Xu, and Huang Fujian looked at Yin He and Zhang Yunshu, nodded, and said, "It seems that the information is true, and the situation in Youguo and Ji has changed dramatically, so the troops near Bingzhou have all retreated to the east."
Yin He hurriedly asked, "Sir, what should we do now?" If the army of the state goes east, it will be able to take the counties in the east and broaden the strategic depth of the state."
Strategic depth is a word that Wang Rong often mentioned in the military lecture hall, especially after the establishment of the state army, the military academy was set up in Zhangjia, not only to train low-level officers, but also to study in the military academy. It is not surprising that Yin He said the depth of strategy as soon as he opened his mouth.
Huangfu Jian shook his head and said: "The other party is a strategic retreat, will not rout and flee, without the order of the Hou Ye, no one is allowed to go east without authorization, those who violate the order will be killed!"
Huang Fujian immediately said to Zhang Yunshu: "At this time, Hou Ye has returned to the east, calculate the days, it should be to Hexi County, I will immediately set off to the west, go to Hexi County to find Hou Ye, the affairs of Zhanghua City and Fenchuan County, please you first." c
Zhang Yunshu bowed and saluted, "Mr. is serious, and the general will definitely live up to his trust." ……………………
Lin River County, away from Shi County County Shoufu
At this moment, there are a number of military generals of the state army sitting in the main hall of the county guard's mansion, Wang Rong is the first lord, on the right hand is Huang Fujian, Zhang Songqi and other military ministers, and on the left hand is Wuluo, Yuan Tiangang and other military generals.
Wang Rong's hand was the latest information from the city, he looked at the fifth candidate, and said encouragingly: "Fifth, the brothers of the Investigation Department have worked hard, this information came at the right time, and the brothers who did the errand must be rewarded well."
The fifth candidate bowed his head and bowed in response, "The last general knows."
Wang Rong put down the military report and said to everyone in the hall, "There is a report from the Detective Affairs Department that an unknown army has appeared in Youguo and Jiguo. According to the investigation, this unknown army is obviously a country, and there are still a lot of them, it should be more than 100,000 people, and the combat power is very high.
Huang Fujian thought for a while in his heart, and said, "Master Hou, where did this unknown army come from, has the Investigation Department investigated it clearly?"
Wang Rong showed an inexplicable expression, he looked at the people in the hall, and said, "The intelligence says that they came from the sea."
When Huang Fujian, Zhang Songqi and other civil officials heard this, they were all surprised, and Zhang Songqi asked, "Sailor? Could it be the army of the Southern Xu State? Among the countries of the Central Plains, only the Xu State Sailor was the most powerful. However, it's not right, Xu Guo has always been friendly with Youguo and Ji Guo in order to attack Yi State."
Wang Rong looked at the generals in the hall and said, "Chu Luxu, where do you think this unknown army came from?"
When Chu Luxu heard Wang Rong's inquiry, he did not answer immediately, but thought for a while, got up and saluted: "Marshal, you once taught us that there are not only land, mountains and rivers in this world, but also the depths of the sea, and the sea is several times bigger than the land. Xu is located in the southeast, with a river separating the north and south, and a sea water separating Yi Island, so the water division is strong.
However, the commander once said that most of the main forces of the warships of the Xu State Navy Division are ships and ships, these two kinds of warships, with a high building and a high center of gravity and a gentle bottom, can still travel safely in rivers and lakes and offshore waters with little wind and waves, but once they enter the deep sea, they are extremely easy to be in danger when encountering high winds and waves.
Therefore, the last general feels that this unknown army will not be from the Xu State, but where they came from and which *** team, the last general really doesn't know."
Wang Rong smiled and said, "Brother Chu has indeed studied a lot of hard, yes, this army is indeed not Xu ***'s team. The appearance of this army is also recorded in the intelligence, and their armor style is completely different from the armor style of the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains, especially the helmets, which are very different from the Central Plains.
And their flags are also very different, unlike the Central Plains countries that use words as their banners, this army uses patterns as banners, and their language is different from that of the Central Plains, and their swords are even more different. For example, the knives in their hands have long knives that are more than two meters long, with curved knives, and cross spears with cross-shaped heads."
