Chapter 206: Linhai City Suppresses Bandits
The title of Lord of the River Realm attracted Ling Xiao's attention, and the situation in the Sword of Freedom was divided into two large components, the day and the night, the day part was named after the red side in chess, and the night part was named after the black side, whether it was from the day and night point of view, or from the red and black side, the responsibilities and division of labor of the two parts were quite clear.
Of course, the Japanese department is responsible for coordinating, dealing with outsiders, and dealing with some things on the surface, while the night department is definitely responsible for dealing with some shady things, and it must be a part of the people responsible for the armed forces.
Since it is in the name of chess, the dividing line between red and black is of course the most special and important position, in Ling Xiao's imagination, the person who occupies this position will inevitably take on some special tasks, that is, to divide responsibilities, set rewards and punishments.
is the so-called Chu River Han Realm, this Lord of the River Realm must be the person in Ling Xiao's imagination, but the difference from Ling Xiao's imagination is that this Lord of the River Realm is obviously not the real leader of the Sword of Freedom as Ling Xiao thinks, but purely a mediator when the two tribes disagree day and night, and his own power is not very great, otherwise that the Japanese warrior would never dare to refute his decision on the spot.
The Rishi didn't know that his unintentional words had allowed Ling Xiao to obtain so much information, and that Lord of the River Realm was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood that in the ears of those who had a heart, Rishi's words were no less than some important confidential information.
At the moment, the so-called Lord of the River Realm just scolded him repeatedly, and he didn't dare to let the Rishi say anything, as for Su Qing's matter, he also knew that there was definitely no way to continue the confrontation in the current situation, so he took some opportunity to take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, never mentioned this matter, led a large number of subordinates, turned around and left.
Such a scene made Ling Xiao also understand that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The Sword of Freedom is not monolithic, it seems that it is an extremely correct decision for him to conceal the matter of pretending to be the eighteenth of the hidden camp, otherwise, Zhao Xuewen is trustworthy, but there will always be some greedy people who will betray themselves, and the safest choice is nothing more than to keep it secret.
Since this is the case, there is no way to continue the originally prepared plan, at least the Sword of Freedom can't continue to stay here, Zhao Xuewen or those who have received his favor are fine, but as long as he and Su Qing are alone. It must be a dead word.
Originally, Ling Xiao's plan was to hide inside the Sword of Freedom, remotely command Jiang Xian to convey orders, and use it to control the official armed forces to carry out the plan with the highest degree of tacit understanding that the Sword of Freedom can achieve. But since the Sword of Freedom can't be fully trusted, then being in the official is the safest place at the moment.
Besides, for a whole night, starting from the inn's battle of wits, Ling Xiao kept solving various problems, and now he was indeed extremely difficult, and the pent-up anger in his heart became more and more intense. It can be said that because of Zhao Xuewen, Ling Xiao has been trying to preserve the power of the Sword of Freedom as much as possible. But now it seems that people don't appreciate it, and even they are full of hostility towards him, the envoy of the coalition forces, out of nowhere.
There is no master here, there is a place to stay here, Ling Xiao took Su Qing and turned around and left the secret stronghold of the Sword of Freedom. Walking straight towards the mansion led by Zhao Hui, it was obvious that the nature of the Sword of Freedom in Ling Xiao's mind at this moment had completely changed, and he was no longer the comrade-in-arms he had always positioned. Rather, it's just a chip that can be used to complete the mission.
When he arrived at Zhao Hui's mansion, although he was indeed a little tired, Ling Xiao was still amused by Jiang Xian's style. This guy put the prince's style out, but it is also slightly the same as the apocryphal nickname of "bloody hand", it is this season, and he is still sitting in the hall, refusing to rest, while Yuan Tong and Zhao Hui, two old officials who are a little older, have to sit with them with red eyes, and they dare not ask anything.
Ling Xiao understood in his heart that Jiang Xian was obviously worried about the safety of himself and his sister Suqing, so he stayed up all night, sitting quietly and waiting for the news, and couldn't help but be very moved.
In fact, worrying about Ling Xiao and Su Qing is only one of the reasons, this Jiang Xian has not yet cultivated to the level of Ling Xiao, the two main backbones are not there, and they are naturally a little uneasy in their hearts, always worried that the two old officials will not know when they will throw their arms, and the scene of sword and axe hands pouring out appears.
Seeing Ling Xiao and Su Qing returning, they naturally put down the biggest stone in their hearts, and under the relaxation of their spirits, they said, "It's good to come back", and then turned around and left, looking for a place to sleep, but I didn't know that this was really in line with the title of bloody hand, giving people the feeling that they were not good at words but were willing to do it.
Seeing that Yuan Tong and Zhao Hui were also red-eyed, Ling Xiao couldn't say anything more, so he had to wave his hand to let the two old officials retire and rest. In fact, Ling Xiao was busy all night, and he couldn't support it, so he said hello to Su Qing at random and found a place to rest by himself.
This sleep went straight to the sunset before he finally relieved his fatigue, and naturally woke up, thinking that Su Qing must have arranged for no one to be called Ling Xiao, so let Ling Xiao have a good rest.
However, it is true that there will not be more opportunities to sleep in such a luxurious way in the future, Ling Xiao is very soberly aware that the next step will be the most difficult period after coming to the Dreadnought Empire, and whether he can achieve the desired effect depends on the next actions.
In fact, the two words that Ling Xiao confessed to Jiang Xian, "Suppressing Bandits", were not casually said, the last time the Fearless Empire suppressed bandits was Ling Xiao himself, he clearly experienced the huge pressure, the feeling of depression that had nowhere to escape, when he was in that situation, as long as there was an exit, even if he could live for a while, the people who were surrounded and suppressed would try their best to break through.
Therefore, the first thing Ling Xiao did when he woke up was to summon Yuan Tong and Zhao Hui to deploy the details of the bandits, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was how to drive a group of underground forces led by the Sword of Freedom to the border of Qi State, act as Ling Xiao's own forward force, and destroy the supply lines of the Dreadnought Empire's army to the greatest extent.
The explanation to Yuan Tong and Zhao Hui is that it is tactically necessary to surround three and lack one, so as not to jump the wall in a hurry, and the reason why the missing one is placed in the direction of the Death Swamp is that the dark camp has already been deployed, and it is necessary to use the imperial army to trap this group of bandits in the Death Swamp.
Ling Xiao's explanation made Yuan Tong and Zhao Hui deeply convinced, there was only one reason why these two had such a feeling, that is, these two didn't know how huge the underground forces within the Dreadnought Empire were now, in their opinion, the left and right were just some mud legs, and they could churn somewhere.
The deployment of the three missing ones was deployed very smoothly, Zhao Hui thought about showing his face in front of the dark camp lord once, and the trivial matters of sending troops were naturally done in an orderly manner, and Yuan Tong was not far behind, and military affairs were naturally not able to interfere, and they would not be at all, but when it came to all kinds of logistics supplies or something, they were implemented one by one at the fastest speed, and Zhao Hui must not be allowed to specialize in the front.
In this way, under the unprecedented efficiency of the two parents and officials in Linhai City, the major event of sending troops to suppress bandits was so properly prepared in three days and sent troops outside the city.
In fact, almost all the underground forces have been informed of the official action, but these heroes, who have always despised the official, do not care at all, and the official crackdown on bandits will organize such a thing once or twice a month, one is to train troops, and the other is to fight the autumn breeze everywhere.
Unfortunately, if their scouts took it a little more seriously, or if they looked at it more closely, they would find that this crackdown was very different from the previous outing-like activities.
Not only were the personnel dispatched the most ever, but the weapons they carried were no longer the random knives they carried before, but they were fully armed, and even the giant crossbows guarding the city at the gate of Linhai were dismantled and placed on the carriage and set off with them.
Only thirty miles out of the city, the army of 8,000 people was scattered in units of 1,000 people, and the eight generals under Zhao Hui led the rush towards the predetermined position.
In the plan, when the eight troops arrived at the position, the suppression of the bandits would officially begin, and the target was the Linhai City they had just come out of.
You must know that what Ling Xiao saw and the intelligence Su Qing had showed that Linhai City was the largest gathering place where the leaders of the underground forces of all parties in the Dreadnought Empire were located, and the only way to mobilize the subordinates of the underground forces was to alarm their leaders.
A huge network was slowly unfolded under Ling Xiao's command, and along the way, anyone who encountered suspicious deeds would be locked up first, regardless of whether they were good or bad, so in just one day, the entire Linhai City was boiling.
First of all, there was a problem with the system responsible for collecting intelligence by various forces, and the messengers who used to be on time did not come, and the scouts sent by themselves were no longer heard from, and they thought that they were going to deal with each other, but they never wanted to ask each other, but the entire Linhai City was blocked, leaving only the side facing the border and there was no movement.
In addition to large organizations such as the Sword of Freedom, some small organizations have begun to run towards the border, for fear of being caught, these people can get to this position, that there are not a few murders in their hands, if they are seriously investigated, it will definitely be an end of questioning and beheading after the autumn, it is better to run away while the official is not encircled.
Of course, running is running, and it can't be delayed to send out the summoning order of his subordinates to come to guard, so the entire Linhai City is like a Lantern Festival, and from time to time there will be one or two signal fireworks, conveying the content that only his own people will understand.
At this time, on a hill on the periphery of Linhai City, Su Qing was quietly lying on the side of the mountain, carefully recording something, a piece of silk paper was densely filled with characters, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be the content of the signals sent by the various forces, except for a few large organizations, without exception, all of them were personnel assembly orders and rescue orders!
