Chapter 54 Controversy

As soon as Yang Hao walked into the inner study room, he was about to make a pot of tea to moisten his throat, Guan Suo stood at the door with a black cowhide bag. 8√1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

According to convention, Guan Suo had to go to the inner study room early in the morning to report to Yang Hao the day before, and his cowhide bag was always stuffed. Guan Suo was as careful as he was very beneficial for collecting and analyzing information, but when reporting, he was often obsessed with some specific details. Every time at this time, Yang Hao would interrupt him without hesitation.

Because of Yan Hua, Yang Hao always felt a little strange whenever he saw him. Although he knew that there would be no real relationship between Guan Suo and Qing'er, this strange feeling was still like a seed, which took root in his heart.

"I just received a secret report that two teams of Tianlang Army appeared to the north of Yinshan Mountain and west of the Giant Rock Fort, and seemed to have the intention to go south."

Yang Hao was looking at the tea leaves in the small teapot. When he heard this, he threw the tea bucket and walked to the conference room on the east side of the study without saying a word. There was a huge map hanging there, with a thousand miles of mountains, rivers, deserts, lakes, cities, gates, villages and villages centered on Fengzhou. The picture is a birthday gift given to Yang Hao by Liu Miles, imitating "Mountains and Rivers of the North". The drawing department under the intelligence room made corrections. Yang Hao claimed that his picture was far better than "Mountains and Rivers of the North", and it was the only one in the world.

He found the location of Guan Suo on the map. To the north of Yinshan Mountain and west of the Giant Stone Fort, that is the territory of the Uighurs. What is the reason why the Uighurs are doing on their own territory? The Heavenly Wolf Army, the guards of the Uighurs, often operated in the border areas of the Khanate, with the purpose of declaring that they were the owners of this land and warning ambitious people not to covet them.

However, if we contacted Zhangxin Khan's recent marriage to Xiao Qijin as his son-in-law, the situation would be less optimistic. About a month ago, Princess Lunper, who was deeply loved by Zhangxin Khan, died of illness. It is said that the princess and the princess had a deep friendship. At the funeral, the princess even fainted from crying several times. Then, just ten days later, Princess Lunper, who was widowed, couldn't stand the loneliness and remarried Xiao Qijin.

At this time, someone told me that Princess Lunper had hooked up with Xiao Qijin when her husband was still alive. Her husband was already weak and sick. When she learned that his wife was unfaithful, she vomited blood in anger and died of illness within a few days.

Yang Hao was skeptical about this statement. A declining nobleman who was living under someone else dared to play conspiracy under the nose of the tyrannical and suspicious Zhangxin Khan. How much risk would he take to do such a miserable thing? After Xiao Qijin defected to Zhangxin Khan, the remaining troops of "Iron-faced Jile" were organized into two thousand-person teams. Xiao Qijin led one team, and his uncle Manle led another team, and his power was so weak that it could be almost negligible. How could Zhangxin Khan marry his beloved daughter to a declining nobleman without territory?

Unless he is willing to send troops to help his son-in-law regain the old land in the middle of the forest.

Unless Xiao Qijin has already surrendered to Khan Zhangxin and is willing to be a hawk.

In this way, things will be complicated.

The Tianlang Army is an elite regular army of the Uighur Khanate, with a population of 300,000. It is the pillar of defending the royal court and intimidating the surrounding foreign races. Over the past century of the founding of the country, this cavalry has traveled thousands of miles from east to west, not only subduing the small and medium-sized tribes, but also strong neighbors such as the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have to give in.

The largest combat unit of the Tianlang Army is the 10,000 team, each 10,000 team has nine 10,000 teams and one 10,000 guard. The Tianlang Army has 22 10,000 teams and the four guards of the Dragon, Tiger, Wolf, and Eagle. The four guards are the elites of the Tianlang Army. One guard has two 10,000 teams under it. They belong to the Khan directly. They are a symbol of the Khan's status and the source of power.

The 300,000 Tianlang Army and the servants of all races, the entire Uighur Khanate had a team of 500,000 people, with a total force of nearly 600,000, which was stronger than the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Moreover, they mobilized quickly, and as long as the Khan gave the order, they could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in a few days. Because almost all of them were cavalry, the marching rate was amazing.

"If he really wants to take revenge, the consequences will be unimaginable." Yang Hao's brow frowned into the word "chuan". He turned around and asked Guan Suo: "How many eyeliners do you have in Uighur cloth?"

"Forty-three. Most of them spy on the periphery of some civil and commercial intelligence, and very few are truly capable of accessing the core."

"Can you buy intelligence? For example, with Xiao Qingyi, the Judgment Hall and Bishuidao?" Bishuidao is an intelligence organization in Tubo, and Yang Hao has only heard of this name.

"The price of the Bishuidao is everywhere, and the quality is not high. We can't get it from the Judgment Hall. Only Xiao Qingyi can try it. Maybe Yan Hua can help." Guan Suo roughly analyzed the situation of the three families.

Yang Hao immediately made a judgment: If you really want to cooperate, it would be more reliable to cooperate with Xiao Qingyi.

Xiao Qingyi was established at the earliest time, with the largest number of people and the strict organization, so it can obtain relatively high-level information. What is more important is that it is an opponent, but not a mortal enemy.

After the establishment of Uchijifang, Yang Hao divided the internal surveillance affairs from the intelligence room and stipulated that the intelligence room was only responsible for external intelligence affairs, and that internal activities would be illegal. However, Yang Hao also believed that with Guan Suo's keen sense of smell, defense made no movements in the department escape his eyes.

Yan Hua was indeed taken away by Jin Taoyin. He was going to perform a secret mission, and the content of the mission was highly confidential. Guan Suo may not know, but Guan Suo must be clear about the matter of his being taken away. At this time, he suddenly mentioned Yan Hua. Is it unintentional or intentional? Yang Hao said calmly:

"Yan Hua has been taken away by Princess Yichun, you should know this."

Guan Suo's mouth showed a disdainful sneer:

"Of course I know, don't I just want him to go back to Xiao Qingyi to be an undercover agent."

"When you know, you still say? Are you so unfavorable to Zhang Bozhong and the others?"

This time, Guan Suo no longer concealed his contemptuous expression: "If Xiao Qingyi was so easy to deal with, she would have changed her name to Xiao Qingyan long ago. Qingyi burned into Qingyan, and it dissipated with the wind..." Guan Suo said while making a move that the green smoke was blown away by the wind, with an unrestrained expression.

Fighting! This word suddenly popped up in Yang Hao's mind. This was another fight between two intelligence organizations. Last time, Zhang Bozhong sued Guan Suo, saying that he had Guan Suo and his subordinates in Fengzhou and hinted that Guan Suo would turn against him and be angry.

"Before you start, say hello to Zhu Qi, Zhang Bozhong and the others. Also, Yan Hua is already his own person, and you are not allowed to bother with the past. Don't always think about sabotaging the situation!"

Guan Suo was quite unhappy in the second half of the sentence. If he had to refute him after the past, he would have to defend himself at least. But this time he endured it, and the unhappiness he endured was extremely unnatural.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the Xijiao Gate. Ling Tong, Li Tong, Zhuang Yunqing and Yu Chong came together. The bookkeeper who was watering flowers in the yard lost his watering can and rushed in to report. The four of them came together so early, which was rare. When they saw Guan Suo standing in front of the table with a red face.

Ling Tong smiled and said, "We haven't disturbed General Guan's report yet?"

The Intelligence Office is a subordinate organization of the General Staff Department. Although it is only nominal, Ling Tong still couldn't control her mouth when she saw her nominal subordinates coming to report early in the morning.

"No, the matter has been finished. I'm about to report to you." Guan Suo pointed Ling Tong with a soft nail.

Ling Tong was bored and turned red with a blush when she was so naughty.

Yu Chonghan smiled and pushed Ling Tong away, ending the confrontation between the two.

The Book Office has tidied up the long-shaped conference table in the conference room. The conference room, long-shaped conference table, and leather armchairs are arranged by Yang Hao, which is convenient for long-term discussions. Although not everyone likes the leather armchair with four legs, it has to be admitted that if an hour passes, this kind of leather armchair that can sit and rest on is indeed very comfortable.

Ling Tong sat down on the leather armchair opposite the huge map and said straight to the point: "I just said that Xiaofeng Camp had just sent a military newspaper. A large number of people from the Tianlang Army were moving in the area west of Jushi Fort. It was initially judged that at least three thousand-person teams were sent to the old land in the middle of the forest to survey the terrain, and it seemed that there were intentions to go south."

As he walked over, Ling Tong couldn't help but breathe a little. After saying these words, he picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea, and then shouted: "It's so bitter, so bitter, so bitter tea." While spitting out the tea leaves, he turned around and asked the inner study office: "What's the matter if the tea leaves are not worth? Put it in. What kind of tea is this? The leaves are still whole. Is this really tea?"

The bookkeeper is named Mu Lanqing, who is an intern recommended by the Wubei Academy. He is smart and capable, but he is not very talkative. He just made the tea for Yang Hao, but Ling Tong drank it and suddenly turned red. After a long time, he stuttered: "Go to General, this is indeed tea, Shuzhou tea produced in the south. The Grand Marshal doesn't like drinking Jiancha, so he likes to drink brewed tea. I, I'm used to it, and I'll change it to you for a moment."

Mulanqing reached out to get the tea bowl. Ling Tong protected the tea bowl with his arms and stared at him and said, "Did I ask you to change it? Dashuai can't drink it?" He took another sip, and couldn't bear it, so he gave the tea bowl to Mulanqing.

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere became harmonious. Mulanqing took the opportunity to run out to sencha.

Yang Hao did not explain why he loved this seemingly weird "tea brewing". His tight brows were not slightly relieved by the smiles of the people. Ling Tong's words indirectly confirmed that the information provided by Guan Suo was true and credible. According to the Xining Army system, each battalion had a reconnaissance brigade responsible for reconnaissance and policing the surrounding situations of the battlefield. In the non-war state, the reconnaissance surveillance range was thirty miles outside the defense zone, and it was extended to eighty miles during wartime.

Although tactical reconnaissance has a small perspective, it is real and direct. Once combined with the strategic reconnaissance of the intelligence room, Yang Hao's mind immediately outlined the enemy-to-we-stage situation in the northwest of Yinshan.

"Xiao Qijin is determined to come back and take revenge." This is Yang Hao's conclusion, and it is also the conclusion of everyone in the conference room. The cloud of war suddenly enveloped everyone's heart.

"You have a good preparation to sort out the Uighurs' political and military, economy, people's livelihood, customs and foreign relations, and send them to the departments for review and editing them into a book to learn from all the military's sentry commanders or above. If this battle is inevitable, we can only prepare early."

What Yang Hao said to Guan Suo suddenly made the atmosphere in the conference room tense.

"We have discussed a plan for preparation and ask the commander to read the instructions." Ling Tong took out the brown cowhide bag he carried with him and took out a plan for preparing for the enemy.

Yang Hao looked around briefly, turned his head and said to Mu Lanqing who was guarding the door with his hands hanging down, "Call Huang Yiliang to come. Let me tell you outside that unless Mr. Wu from Luoyang comes, I will not see any other people." Mu Lanqing responded and ran out.

Yang Hao asked Li Tong: "Have you decided to discuss the horse buying with Quze's troops?"

Li Tong: "When their envoy first came, he claimed that he could make full decisions, so we kept talking to him. The matter had been finalized, but the envoy suddenly changed his words and said that he could not make decisions and had to ask their Khan Asr to nod in order to sign the contract. Now we can only wait."

Yang Hao was surprised and said, "I remember that they came to the door at the beginning of the year, and invited them to dinner and gave gifts. Why did they suddenly change their minds? Will there be any articles here?"

Li Tong thought about it and replied: "Even if we don't buy their horses, our horses will be enough. If we say there is something weird and we don't ask for him, what tricks can he play?"
