Looking at the appearance of the dustless man in rags and bruises, it is easy to suspect that he is dead. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was still smiling at Zhang Changan, the latter was afraid that he would already think that the two of them were on their own side and were going to offer him a few sticks of incense.

Old friends who had fought side by side in an extremely dangerous situation were unexpectedly reunited in a foreign land, Zhang Changan was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to care about the other party's injury.

Xu Ge waved his hand and said impatiently: "I can't be sad and sad, with Han Yuan Dan of the Immortal Medicine Workshop, he can't die." ”

Seeing Zhang Changan turn around, as if he had something to say, Xu Ge simply put down the melon in his hand and said solemnly: "In this place in the Western Regions, many people die in various ways every moment, monks, merchants, civilians, and even old and weak women and children. The environment here is far more treacherous than you can imagine, but it is no better than when you were in the deep Huairong Khitan military camp.

"If you want to survive here, as long as you have a breath left, you have to be up and running.

"If your companion dies, you have no time to grieve and if your companion is dying, your best bet is to abandon him and get out of the way. If you can get away with surviving, then fulfill the other person's last wish. The above is the advice of me, the commander of the Western Regions, to you, the deputy commander. ”

Speaking of this, she picked up a piece of melon, "You don't have much time, it's important to get down to business, Buchen has just arrived, you just talk about the details, and I will listen to the details." ”

She looked at the melon in her hand seriously and sighed, muttering to herself: "If this mission still requires me to take a trip, this may be the last time I will eat melon in my life, I have to eat enough to do it, so as not to worry about it below." ”

At this time, Zhang Changan noticed that under the hair of Xu He's sideburns, there was a long earthworm-like scar, which had been spreading diagonally into the collar, which was shocking. It is a great luck that such a wound did not cut off the neck and survived.

Liu Mang moved a stool and brought it to Zhang Changan, he stuffed it behind his buttocks with his backhand, and sat beside Buchen to listen to the other party's explanation of the important task.

He was also very curious about how the non-dusty Taoist of Quanzhenguan could appear in the Tsing Yi Yamen, and he and Xu Ge seemed to get along very indifferently.

"The situation in the Western Regions is indeed as Commander Xu said, more complicated than when we were in Huairong. ”

Buchen leaned on the rattan chair and turned his head to look at Zhang Changan, he was too seriously injured, although his life was saved, his breath was still a little weak, "Now that the big war is about to start, our already fierce struggle with the Crescent Moon Sect has also reached the point of almost life and death, the situation is like a fire cooking oil, and everywhere is already boiling and the ......sky is boiling."

Through Buchen's narration and the documents he had read before, Zhang Changan soon had a more comprehensive and clear understanding of the open and secret struggle between the Tang Dynasty, the Great Eclipse, and the Black Khanate in the Western Regions.

In short, since the Tang Dynasty decided to restore the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it was destined to collide head-on with the Black Khanate, as well as the Crescent Sect and the Great Eclipse behind the Black Khanate.

Over the years, in order to prepare for the final head-on battle, the Quanzhen Sect, the Wukong Liberation Sect and the Tsing Yi Yamen have started a contest with the Crescent Moon Sect in all aspects.

From this point of view, in fact, the war has already begun.

In the face of stronger opponents and a broader world, the Quanzhen Temple, the Wukong Liberation Gate, and the Tsing Yi Yamen, the three mountains that were not subordinate to each other before, and each went its own way, faced with stronger opponents and a broader world, a joint official office had already been established in the Western Regions to build a unified command system.

In order to disguise his identity, the name of this official office was the Western Regions Commercial Bank.

There are several main aspects of what the Western Regions Commercial Bank does.

First, he collected the Crescent scriptures, looked for loopholes, refuted them, and wrote a document. This matter is mainly done by the masters in the Quanzhen Meditation and the Voidless Liberation Sect, and the document has now been widely disseminated in the Western Regions.

The effect of this was significant, and for many years the Crescent Cult had not been able to spread beyond the Black Khanate.

After these documents were introduced to the Black Khanate and the Great Cannibal, they also caused a lot of impact, although they did not change the overall situation - after all, the Crescent Moon Sect was severely suppressed, but the people still had some doubts in their hearts.

In fact, this incident is destroying the foundation of the Crescent Religion's rule and planting doubts in the hearts of the people

of seeds.

After all, sectarian classics, in addition to academic and moral things, are deceitful in guiding believers to worship, and it is actually easy to find loopholes.

But for it to really play a huge role, it must be successful in the frontal offensive of the Tang army, so that the people can be stimulated. After the Tang army conquered the Black Khanate and the Great Eclipse, the ruling base of the Crescent Religion would soon collapse, and there would be no extreme wars launched by the people.

Second, after the merchant's monk changed his appearance—this is very important—he infiltrated the Black Khanate and the Great Food under various disguises such as merchants and exiles, and settled down, using gold and silver wealth and other means to corrupt the military and political officials of the two countries and obtain various information.

At the beginning of this task, the monk usually befriended the officials and magnates under the guise of "facilitating the trade", and after both parties were familiar with each other, they bribed the other party to open some convenient doors for the traders.

This part is a regular situation of collusion between officials and businessmen, and as long as the target is well chosen, it can be easily done.

Then they are tempted to make heavy profits, and find all kinds of excuses to let them reveal less important information about military and political affairs, such as who the generals of the garrison are, what their preferences are, the number of troops, and so on.

Once the other party reveals this, the monks of the Western Regions Commercial Bank will look for an opportunity to identify themselves, so that the other party is colluding with the Tang Dynasty and betraying the country's military and political secrets.

This handle fell into the hands of the Western Regions Commercial Bank, if the other party did not obey the mercy, he threatened the other party to make the situation public, and under the combination of soft and hard, many Black Khanate and Great Food Officials became "spies" under the control of the Western Regions Commercial Bank.

With the convenience provided by these "spies", the monks of the Western Regions trading houses have obtained a lot of information about the geography of mountains and rivers and the details of the monks' armies in recent years.

The monks also walked everywhere in the name of "merchants", constantly expanding the number of "spies" and expanding the level. Nowadays, the trading houses have formed many large forces in the Black Khanate and the Great Food.

Now if the Tang army attacks Shule City, it will not need to make any effort at all.

When it comes to the territory of the Black Khanate, in addition to the maps collected and drawn by the Western Regions Commercial Houses, there will be no shortage of guides, and the Tang army will know in advance the movement of many soldiers and horses and the strength of the army, and can calmly deal with it and strike accurately.

Of course, in the process of implementing this matter, it was actually full of all kinds of thrilling battles of wits and courage, some of which succeeded, some of which failed, some of which were "spies" who were expanding, and some of whom were defeated.

There are also many powerful characters in the Great Cannibal and Crescent Cults.

The Western Regions Commercial Bank has achieved remarkable results in its actions over the years, but the price paid is not small, many people have lost their lives, and countless wealth has been invested.

Third, covertly contacting and covertly supporting forces that oppose those in power. Especially the Turks. Before Mullen's debut, the power of Da Shi had actually been controlled by the Turks, and Mullen was trying his best to turn the tide and revitalize Sheji.

In the process, many Turkic magnates were killed and suppressed, lost their existing interests, and planted the seeds of hatred.

After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if Malen wants to control the country, he must reuse his own team, and the cake is so big, there are new people who come in to share, and there are old people who quit.

For these Turks, the war with the Tang Dynasty and the hatred for the Tang people were just distant and vague memories that had no impact on their current lives. Ma Lun is the enemy who is taking away their jobs now, as long as he can take back his wealth, power and women, of course there is no problem in cooperating with Datang.

This action was very hidden, and the Turkic forces were also secretly accumulating strength, cultivating monks, accumulating magic weapons and armaments, and not revealing them in front of others. Just wait for the outbreak of war, and then make a sudden attack when necessary, and deal a heavy blow to the big food magnates and Mullen.

The investment of the Western Regions Commercial Bank in this part is also astronomical, that is, the Tang Dynasty is now prosperous, and after expanding its territory, it has obtained a huge amount of resources, especially the wealth from the Americas, which is as abundant as a cow's hair, which can be undertaken.

Otherwise, the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce also

I really can't make such an action powerful.

Underneath these three general directions, there are many smaller branches.

After the Battle of Khitan, the status of the Buchen Dao people in the Quanzhen Temple has been greatly improved, and after arriving in the Western Regions, they have made great contributions. He had been operating in the Black Khanate before, and was still a major leader, and he successfully "rebelled" against a depressed magnate who was robbed of a lot of power by his political enemies because of a small mistake - Night Fall Iglu.

Although the other party only has more than 10,000 troops in his hands, because of his extraordinary identity and extensive travel, after contacting him, Buchen quickly developed a not weak "spy" force, and mastered a lot of military and political intelligence in the eastern part of the Black Khanate.

And because of the convenience provided by the other party, the caravan under his command has developed a lot and earned a lot of wealth, which in turn has contributed a large share to the other party. This strengthens the relationship between the two parties.

Originally, the situation was very good, and Buchen had already planned to persuade the other party that when the Tang army came, he would respond to the Tang offensive, and after the war, he would be allowed to "increase his official position".

But at this moment, a strange group of monks suddenly came to the Crescent Sect, and began to investigate the officials and various forces in the Black Khanate.

After they found Buchen and others, they were directly arrested and interrogated on trumped-up charges, and Buchen and others were forced to fight with each other, but because of the haste of the incident, it took a lot of time to destroy all kinds of documents and materials, and finally suffered heavy casualties, and only a few people fled back.

"Our dealings with the night are very secretive, whether it is direct contact or wealth exchange, there are a few Black Khanate merchants in between. Although we suffered heavy losses this time, fortunately, all kinds of documents and materials have been destroyed, but only the strength of the monks has been damaged, and the line of night falling has been preserved. ”

Buchen gasped for a moment.

He continued: "If you don't stay overnight, you will definitely be scared three times a day, and we need to send someone over to stabilize him." If he can save this line, and the Japanese army will attack the Black Khanate, and he will respond, it will be equivalent to having a gap that can easily open the situation. ”

Zhang Changan nodded, and looked at Xu Ge, who finally stopped eating melons and sat at the table but kept hiccups, "So I entered the Black Khanate to replace Buchen, reconnect the line of the night fall, and respond when the army arrives?"

This task is very heavy, and the credit is great, and it is worth coming to the Western Regions.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ge shook his head and said with a hiccup: "This is only a part, not the most important part, hiccup...... Your main task is to fight the new Crescent monks.

"They're not a separate team...... Nor is it specifically for the dusty. During this time, many of our strongholds, Hiccup, have been destroyed by the same type of Crescent monks.

"Facts have proven that the Crescent Sect has begun to investigate and purge the 'spies' on a large scale, and the intensity and accuracy of its actions have far exceeded our previous expectations......

"Deputy Commander Zhang, hiccup, this means that the results of our years of hard work are in danger of total collapse at the critical moment when the war is about to begin!

"So your task is to use the matter of the night as the thread, to find a breakthrough, follow the vine, follow the map, hiccup, and deal with this group of Crescent Moon monks!"

Zhang Changan's face was solemn.

Obviously, Da Shi reacted and began to search and deal with the Western Regions Trading Houses.

This group of Crescent Moon Sect monks, in terms of organization, is only afraid that they are no different from the Tsing Yi Yamen!

If they are allowed to succeed, the good situation that the Western Regions Commercial Bank has made before and has finally formed will be in vain!

The imperial dynasty's wars against the Black Khanate and the Great Food will also have many hardships and twists and turns.

Without the support of intelligence and internal strategy, the frontal army can only attack the fortifications little by little, and it is conceivable how many more soldiers will die!

The arduousness and enormity of this task far exceeded Zhang Changan's previous expectations.

"What, boy, are you scared?"

At this moment, a playful and friendly voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Changan turned his head and couldn't help but be happy.

It was Nangong No. 1 who came.
