After living in the camp by Dihe River for four days, on a night with beautiful moonlight, the rumbling sound of horse hooves woke Ye Tao. Ye Tao's tent was always lit with a small light even in the middle of the night. Because Ye Tao had too many opportunities to think of some strange ideas and some strange thoughts, sometimes recall some key things, and excitedly got up to find paper and pen to record them. His tent always had a considerable table, and as long as it was not an emergency, it was always filled with various documents, drawings, and sketches. There was always two Qing at the door of his tent.

The awake guards, because Ye Tao always put those confidential documents on the desktop indifferently, because he often needs to connect things that seem completely unrelated to others, and always need to refer to many materials interactively as the basis for making decisions. Ye Tao's casualness has been indulged and even respected since he was gradually understood by the people around him. When Ye Tao first started to need the guards by his side, Sophie Marceau, who had been taking care of Ye Tao for the longest time, told the guards that all the contents recorded by Ye Tao when he got up in the middle of the night were proved to be very important and very interesting.

When Ye Tao was awakened by the sound of horse hooves, he rolled on the floor covered with felt from a layer of felt on the folding bed, and muttered and stood up, Wu Ping'an, who had been guarding the door with his sword in his arms, lifted the curtain, walked in, and asked, "Sir, do you need something?"

"What's going on outside...?" Ye Tao touched his head. Although he was still a little drowsy, he could still understand the movement of the march ongoing outside.

"Governor Dai issued an order to attack the entire army and was rushing to cross the Dihe River at night. It would launch a full-scale attack on the northern tribal coalition forces in about one day and a half. Governor Dai was commanding outside. Do you want to summon Governor Dai?" Wu Ping'an lowered his voice and reported the situation.

Ye Tao shook his head and said, "Forget it, if nothing important is happening, then forget it. Dai Yun should be overwhelmed by the moment."

However, even though Ye Tao was already considerate enough about Dai Yun’s busyness, Dai Yun’s respect and trust in Ye Tao made Dai Yun take the initiative to come and ask for a meeting after learning that Ye Tao had woken up.

"Dai Yun, I'll leave the matter to you. I'm grateful to you for getting me here from afar. I've been having a lot of fun these days." The obvious meaning of saying goodbye in Ye Tao's words made Dai Yun stunned for a moment.

"Sir, are you going back?" Dai Yun asked anxiously.

Ye Tao nodded and said, "Yes, I have made a lot of trouble here. I fully believe that you will definitely win, because under your command, some are indeed the No. 1 army in the world. There are also many Tieyun cavalry when you built the No. 1 army in the world. There are also tribal coalition forces loyal to you. After you win, no matter the court..." Ye Tao smiled and said, "Now we are in the common court... No matter who the court sends to be responsible for the handover of Yunzhou, I have agreed to the conditions of the Yunzhou tribe,

I hope to implement it in a practical way. Since this is the condition I have issued, of course, I should also convince all the lords in the court to ensure that these measures can be passed. Before you lead the tribal coalition, it is not appropriate for me, the master, to run away, but it doesn't matter now. I rushed back to Danyang and convince Your Majesty to pass these terms. If it goes smoothly, I should be able to implement the matter before the one who is responsible for handing over the matters in Yunzhou set off, so that the lord will come to Yunzhou with the court's kindness."

Dai Yun frowned. Although she knew Ye Tao's indifference, she never expected Ye Tao to give the credit to the latecomers as much as the expansion of territory. Dai Yun hesitated and said, "Sir, if you don't really understand the tribe, or at least have no prejudice to the tribe, it would be better not to implement these measures as usual. Many ministers in the court... are different from those who grew up in Yunzhou. Although the Chinese barbarians and other statements are not as strict as Chunnan, I don't know how those guys have a brain. Dongping's national strength is above Chunnan. But they learn from Chunnan everywhere. In this regard... On the contrary, you, you, not only do not discriminate against these tribes at all, when you get along with them, it seems more comfortable to get along with those officials in Danyang."

Ye Tao's expression seemed to be more and more unreliable under the dim light of the tent. He smiled and said, "I have been with them for a few days. They called me Lord Ye, Brother Ye, Xiao Ye, and I have all called me. There is no pressure to get along with them. No one has the identity, so they are free. But when did you start calling me Lord Ye?"

Dai Yun smiled embarrassedly and said, "I can't care, but I'm afraid that others will say I don't care. Maybe that's the case."

Ye Tao didn't say anything else. He sighed, was silent for a while before continuing: "I believe that Your Majesty will definitely send a suitable candidate to hand over the handover. This time, no matter what, after returning, he still has more merit than his faults, and it is a pity that he can't throw away his official position."

Dai Yun bowed to Ye Tao and said seriously: "Ye Tao... Then, let's meet in Danyang."

Ye Tao waved his hand casually and said goodbye to Dai Yun. The next morning, Ye Tao took his own guards on the road back. With a guy like Ye Tao who is very curious and a little hard-working, it is impossible for him to go straight to Danyang regardless of the journey. He stayed on the shore of Xuelang Lake for two days. One day, he used to receive representatives of the summer communities of various tribes to visit the largest market on the shore of Xuelang Lake. Naturally, he needed various gifts for his family, friends and relatives, as well as those he was interested in.

The messy things cost him a lot of gold and silver. Because the commercial circulation between tribes is more complicated and has been transferred many times, and there is no reliable intermediate agency to deal with it, various disputes and troubles caused by the physical silver circulating in the tribe market were deeply imprinted in his heart. On the other day, Ye Tao came to the original Thunder Cliff of Gaozi Mountain and visited the military camp with a rough style that was built with giant trees and cowhide. This time, he really only had the name.

Ye Tao now has to reflect on the previous operation of bringing Zhuo Xianchen's troops to Xiling. The war ended too quickly, so fast that the troops sent out to disrupt the Xiling supply line had not yet played a role. Xiling was already a little too busy to take care of himself, and Zhuo Xianchen's troops became a leisure move. It is estimated that Zhuo Xianchen's troops will be recalled in a few days. After all, no matter how, Zhuo Xianchen is a child of the Zhuo family. He is led by an imperial guard and cannot be stranded behind the enemy for a long time. However, judging from the achievements of Zhuo Xianchen's troops sent to Yunzhou and the Dai family sent by the Yaoying, it is a pity to give up like this.

As for now, it is entirely possible to really pretend to be a bandit, occupy the mountain as the king, or even reach a certain tacit understanding with the local government. What if this "Tianwang Village" can exist for a long time and develop silently without attracting the attention of the local government in Xiling, and eventually become a nail to invade Xiling? After Xiling invasion, female official spies were dug up next to Concubine Lian, and the assassination that Ye Tao himself had endured and the spies of the Eagle Hall of the Daomingzong who were excavated... There is no doubt that Dongping's construction in the field of intelligence is much behind Xiling. Especially now, in addition to the original intelligence system, Xiling has more threats of Daomingzong relying on religious and spiritual power to infiltrate.

Since Zhuo Xianchen's troops have always used cloaks and masks to hide their identity, and they don't even say much in normal times, if they step up deployment and replace Zhuo Xianchen's troops, they will probably not even be suspicious if they replace those who can manage the "Tianwang Village" behind enemy lines for a long time. On the one hand, they quietly accumulate military forces and reserve materials to prepare for the future battle between Dongping and Xiling. On the other hand, relying on Dongping and Yunzhou to spy and infiltrate Xiling's north, the "Tianwang Village" can really play too many roles.

In Ye Tao's mind, the ideal situation is to inherit some of the arrangements of the Dai family in Xiling, and provide various support for the "Tianwang Village" through the original personnel and spies of the Dai family. As for various expenses, Ye Tao discovered that the inner government would be very willing to bear this part of the expenses. Especially now, Tan Xiaopei has the idea of ​​separating the internal security guards from the inner government and establishing an independent intelligence agency. Most of the ministers of the court felt that it was completely fine to maintain such an institution by Dongping Finance. The inner government's expenses will soon be rich, and it is really ideal to use them to operate this matter.

Thinking of this, Ye Tao began to draft the "Tianwang Village" action plan on the way back, which explained the risks and significance of such an action, and also explained the many roles that "Tianwang Village" can play. In the entire plan, the most difficult thing is to spread another religion completely fabricated and controlled by Dongping. Perhaps it cannot destroy the status of Emperor Dao Mingzong in Xiling, but at least it can create an atmosphere of suspicion among some of the people at the bottom.

In addition to the Daoming Emperor, the people of Xiling had another acceptable choice in religion. Then, when Dongping and Xiling fought in the future, the resistance they encountered through various functions will be reduced to a considerable extent.
