After Xu Xiao and Chen Meng returned to the camp of the border troops in Jinzhou, they immediately met with the marshal Yuan Hua.
On this expedition, they discovered that more than half of the One-eyed Bandit's small alliance was Turkic.
The other half of the One-eyed Bandits were Central Plainsmen, and they were not completely unaware of their identities.
When these One-eyed Bandits fought together, the Turks would shout in Turkic when they were excited. The Central Plainsman companions around them didn't show any surprise.
From this, it could be seen that those Central Plainsmen had long known that their companions were Turks.
"You're saying that the One-eyed Bandits have already been infiltrated by the Turks?”
Marshal Yuan Hua was also very surprised by this news.
In the past, the border troops of Jinzhou had exterminated the Cyclops Bandits. These guys became bandits on horses and became civilians on dismounted horses. If they couldn't defeat them, they would hide in the mountains. Even if the army searched the mountains and found them, these guys had abandoned their horses and weapons and turned into hunting villagers. It was really difficult to distinguish them.
Although there were some Turks among them, the One-eyed Bandits were a mix of factions.
Everyone knew that there were some Turkic bandits and bandits inside.
Just like how there were Central Plainsmen among the bandits and bandits of the Turks, it was nothing strange.
However, that was only a minority. Now that half of the 10,000-strong One-eyed Bandits were Turks, it was worth paying attention to.
Was this an accidental phenomenon, or was there something else?
One had to know that even a scabbing disease could become a huge problem. Moreover, if the One-eyed Bandits had truly been completely infiltrated by the Turks, then the poison of the bones would be fatal.
"Commandant Xu thinks that the situation might be worse than we thought. Hadn't the One-eyed Bandit been infiltrated by the Turks? Rather, from the very beginning, they were just like the Turk Duyu Camp, a spy that the Turk had planted at our Jinzhou border.”
Chen Feng's words were shocking. After he said Xu Xiao's deduction, Marshal Yuan Hua was not only surprised, but also shocked.
"Commandant Xu, this is no small matter. Do you have any concrete evidence?”Marshal Yuan Hua asked Xu Xiao directly.
"Commander-in-chief, this general only has some guesses. However, when several suspicious points were put together, this general felt that there should not be such a coincidence in the world.”
In the Jin Zhou border army, they only addressed each other by military rank and not by military rank. A commander was a commander, and a deputy commander was a deputy commander. No one would address the right assistant minister as assistant minister and hide the word 'deputy' above the deputy minister like the civil officials in the court.
However, the way everyone addressed Xu Xiao was an exception.
Because, whether they were convinced or not, in everyone's hearts, Xu Xiao was the successor appointed by the former commander of the Heavy Snow Camp, Hong Tao, and was also the current head of the Heavy Snow Camp.
Thus, when everyone addressed Xu Xiao, they would intentionally or unintentionally address him by his military rank. This also indirectly showed that the majority of the people approved of Xu Xiao's command of the Great Snow Camp.
"I heard from Commander Chen that we have surrounded these One-eyed Bandits before.”
"But these fellows never confront us directly. That Assistant Minister Cen once said something, and I feel that he was not lying.”
"That is, there must be a reason why the Turks are so intent on destroying the Great Snow Camp. Next spring, when the grass grows, we will definitely have a battle with the Turks at the border.”
"At this time, those One-eyed Bandits who usually run away at the sight of our Jinzhou border troops suddenly acted out of character and dared to attack the border elites like Rongxuan Camp and the Great Snow Camp. This is one of the suspicious points.”
"That makes sense. Go on, tell me all the suspicious points you found.”
"This general has carefully observed that when the Turks among the One-eyed Bandits were shouting and killing in Turkic, their Central Plains companions didn't show any signs of surprise. In fact, when they were charging, they would even intentionally fall behind the Turks by half a horse's length.”
"When I was in Yi County, I made a living by collecting herbs and hunting beasts. I had dealings with many medicinal herbs and leather goods merchants.”
"I heard them say,'Every year, the Turks will send a slave raider army made up of Turkic, Central Plainsmen, and foreigners to the borders of various countries to plunder the Central Plains' population.”
"When the slave-plundering army attacked, the Central Plainsmen and the extraterrestrials didn't charge forward to be cannon fodder. Instead, he wanted to follow behind the Turks to hold the fort.”
"Because the Turks are naturally valiant and warlike. According to the customs of the steppe, on the battlefield, the ones at the front are not cannon fodder, but the bravest warriors.”
"If those people from the Central Plains and those from the other realms charge in front of them, they'll be laughing at their cowardice.”
"As the saying goes,'Rome wasn't built in a day.'Why would the Han Chinese of the Central Plains act according to the rules of the Turkic steppe on the battlefield? This is the second suspicious point."
"This time, Commander Chen's Rongxuan Camp and the gang of One-eyed Bandits that our Great Snow Camp eliminated are only at the peak of third-rate combat power.”
"But this general noticed that the horses they were riding were actually Turkic leopards that were only slightly inferior to the Bazuo Wolf Cavalry that the Great Snow Camp encountered outside the Impermanence Valley.”
"You must know that leopards are a specialty of the Turkic steppe and are never sold.”
"Even among the Turkic people, private transactions are prohibited. So how did these second-rate and third-rate One-eyed Bandits manage to obtain so many Turkic leopard-horses? This is the third doubtful point."
"There is one last suspicious point, and that is the word 'single'.”
"I don't know if marshal noticed, but if you don't look closely, the word 'Du' on their flag looks like the word 'Lang'.”
"In the beginning, this general thought that they were like this general. They didn't read many books and usually held a knife more than a pen.”
"That's why I wrote those lousy words 'Dog, crawl, rabbit hop'.”
"But later, I remembered that I had a close friend who grew up in Yi County. He read a lot of books and wrote well. When he taught his junior to write when he was young, he had once said that good handwriting was not only judged by the shape, but also by the meaning.”
"He said that although my handwriting is crooked and ugly like an earthworm crawling, I'm not a good writer. However, between each stroke, there was a sense of 'straightforwardness hidden within the curves'.”
"This general isn't saying this to show off his two lousy strokes. Instead, he wanted to tell the marshal that this general felt the ferocious killing intent of a hungry wolf in the extremely poorly written word 'solitary'.”
"Although this is just my hunch that something is wrong. However, since I was eight years old, I have been hunting in the mountains. During this period, they encountered countless ferocious beasts and picked many precious medicinal herbs.”
"Other than relying on my martial arts and cunning intelligence, I have no other choice. This indescribable and unclear premonition and intuition had indeed helped me escape death many times, blessing in disguise.”
"Gather the generals! Pass down the order, all the commanders and vice commanders in the camp will be punished mercilessly.”
After listening to Xu Xiao's doubts, Marshal Yuan Hua ordered the soldiers outside the tent to beat the drums and gather the generals. He sat behind the marshal's table and frowned in deep thought.
No water, no drag. After the three drums, the generals entered the account.
Other than the Dongxiang Camp Commander Wang Jian who had not returned with his rations, the Fierce Tiger Camp Commander Qin Huchen, and the Deputy Commander Li Xuan who had entered the capital for business, the rest of the generals were all present.
The generals of the various battalions stood on both sides of the marshal's table. Marshal Yuan Hua asked Xu Xiao to repeat what he had just said.
After the generals heard this, they were also greatly surprised. Their gazes that looked at Xu Xiao also carried some admiration.
The military advocated martial arts, but it did not mean that their brains were all muscles.
In fact, these commanders and deputy commanders who led troops to battle all knew that on the battlefield, those who were quick-witted could not only make contributions and eat meat, but also make their colleagues drink a bowl of soup with bones.
This time, no one thought about it anymore. It was Chen Meng who told Xu Xiao about his discovery.
Because, although Chen Meng usually looked like a gentle and polite person.
But on the battlefield, he would never do anything favoritism.
This was both a scholar's character and an iron-blooded military spirit.
One was one, two was two. It was Xu Xiao's credit, Chen Fan would not snatch it. If it wasn't for Xu Xiao's credit, Chen Meng wouldn't have given up. Many veterans who had fought alongside Chen Fan for more than ten years knew about this.
"Zhang Biao, everyone says that you don't get along with Xu Xiao. Then you should find fault with what he said just now.”
Grand Marshal Yuan Hua pointed out the name of Zhang Biao, the deputy commander of the East Xiang Camp, and let him be the first to evaluate how trustworthy Xu Xiao's guesses were.
"Marshal, you underestimate Old Zhang too much. I don't have any personal grudges with that Xu guy. Old Zhang just mistook him for a dwarf at first glance. If I don't beat him up, I won't be able to get off the donkey.”
"Everyone is here today, and Old Zhang has also made it clear. At first, Old Zhang looked down on people and underestimated Xu. However, there was no way Old Zhang would apologize to him. Our parents never taught us how to speak softly.”
"When the military competition comes, we'll have a good time together. Old Zhang has beaten you to the ground, so I'll give you my secret Golden Creation medicine and the wild ginseng I kept as a betrothal gift for my wife.”
"You've beaten Old Zhang down. When Old Zhang is resting, treat Old Zhang to a feast. In the future, whether it's you or the Great Snow Camp, Old Zhang and the men of the East Stream Camp will never stand aside and watch you make a scene.”
Although Zhang Biao was still holding his head high, he still looked like he was unwilling to accept it and wanted to be beaten to death. However, Xu Xiao and Water Cloak Warrior looked at him much more pleasing to the eye.
"If you don't talk about serious matters, I'll deduct half a year of your camp break.”
Marshal Yuan Hua also didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Zhang Biao's words.
"Don't, don't, don't, marshal, Old Zhang is counting on having a drink or two during the break.”
"Usually, Old Zhang doesn't drink a drop of alcohol in the Imperial Army. You'll deduct the monthly personal gain.。。Uh, don't stare, Old Zhang said.”
"What Xu said earlier has a head and a foot. There were no fools present. Even a dog wouldn't believe that those One-eyed Bandits weren't ghosts.”
"As for the intuition that Xu guy mentioned, it's just that…。。Old Zhang believed him! All of you have been through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. You all know that the more inexplicable and unclear this feeling is, the more effective it is.”
"Marshal, it's not that Old Zhang is disrespectful to you. However, there was one sentence that Old Zhang did not say out loud. It was really uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.”
"Those one-eyed bandits aren't good people to begin with. Who cares if they've been infiltrated by the Turks or if they're the f * cking Turks? Just based on their previous acts of robbing commoners and caravans, it's only right and proper for us to destroy them.”
"As you said, we'll definitely have a war with the Turks after spring. It was already the second day of February. There were only two months left before April when the grass would bloom.”
"At this time, who cares if it's the One-eyed Pirates or the Wolf-eyed Pirates? I knew that they weren't the good ones. If he didn't take the opportunity to destroy this group of people now, he would keep them alive for the new year.”
"Well said! Zhang Biaozi, you're a muddle-headed person. All the generals heard the order. From today onwards, the competition of the entire army would begin.”
"This competition will only be decided by one round. Each battalion selected 2,000 soldiers and horses, with a time limit of ten days, to eliminate the one-eyed bandits. The enemy's head is used to judge the merit, and the person who wins the first merit will be honored as the leader of the army.”
"Military Law, Military Supervisor, Military Supervisor, 3rd Battalion, listen up. You three battalions will be mixed together. Send a 100-man supervision team to each battalion. If you find anyone disturbing the people or killing good people, kill them immediately!”
He ordered the three armies to move, and the ghosts and gods were shocked by the movement of the army.
This time, the Jin Zhou border troops were really angry.
Wisdom Camp Rong Xuan
Snow in Sin Camp
The commander-in-chief personally led four battalions: bronze wall, iron wall, sharp knife, long tassel.
The four battalions of the border army fought heavily: Fierce Tiger, Flying Eagle, White Ape, and Xiong Gang.
Dongling township army four battalions-Dongxiang, Dongshui, Dongshan, Donglin.
Five words old camp-long, Wei, sharp, fast, front.
The main force of the nineteen battalions each selected two thousand elites, a total of thirty-eight thousand people to encircle and suppress the One-eyed Bandit.
In addition, there were 12,000 recruits, auxiliary troops, reserve troops, military law, military supplies, military aircraft, armaments, flags, scouts, war supervisors, military supervisors, medical camps, and craftsmen camps. They formed the 13 battalions and the 19 main battalions to fight together.
50,000 elite border troops vowed to destroy the one-eyed bandit.
。。。。。。
Ten days later, in the back of a rouge and cosmetic shop in a Turkic merchant village outside the pass.
The third princess of the Turkic steppe, the most beautiful and cold-looking woman, was listening to a military report from an 'old woman.'
"Your Highness, the messenger eagle. Fifteen days ago, the Jinzhou border troops wiped out a gang of one-eyed bandits we planted in the pass.”
"Ten days ago, the Jinzhou border army dispatched fifty thousand troops to encircle and suppress all the One-eyed Bandits inside and outside the border.”
" Three days ago, the One-eyed Bandits that we planted inside and outside the border were almost wiped out. Right now, there are only less than two thousand spies that have been hiding in the hunting camps and villages of the mountain people inside and outside the border. They have luckily escaped the disaster.”
After the middle-aged woman finished reporting the military situation, she stood at the side with her head lowered. She did not even dare to raise her head. Her Highness in front of her was too beautiful. She was so beautiful that even she, who was also a woman, was mesmerized by her. However, she was too cold. It was so cold that he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave just by looking at her.
"Fifteen days ago, which battalion of the Jinzhou border army wiped out that gang of One-eyed Bandits?”
"Ten days ago, the 50,000 strong army dispatched by the Jin City border guards, which battalion did they belong to?
The Third Princess's voice was crisp and short, like the sound of an icicle that fell to the ground from a grassland tent in winter.'
"Your Highness, 15 days ago, Rongxuan Camp and the rebuilt Snowy Camp wiped out that gang of One-eyed Bandits.”
"10 days ago, the 50,000 strong army of the Jin City border troops consisted of 19 battalions, each with 2,000 elites, a total of 38,000 people. There were also recruitment, auxiliary, reserve, military law, military supplies, military aircraft, armaments, flags, scouts, warlords, supervisors, medical camps, craftsmen camps, a total of 12,000 people, forming a 50,000 alliance army. This time, the various battalions of the Jinzhou Border Army had joined forces.”
The middle-aged woman blamed herself for only remembering the Third Princess and not being long-winded. She had forgotten that the Third Princess 'requirement for reporting military intelligence was to report everything, big or small.'
"Who is the commander of the rebuilt Great Snow Camp?”
"Your Highness, the commander of the reconstructed Great Snow Camp is the former deputy commander of the camp, Mad Tiger, Qi Wufu. The deputy commander is a sixteen-year-old recruit of the Great Snow Camp called Xu Xiao. He was a hunter in Yi County of Jinzhou. His parents died early and he was adopted. Two months ago, after the old man who adopted him died of illness, he left home to join the army.”
This time, the middle-aged woman had finally learned her lesson. She did not need the Third Princess to ask in detail and reported the details one by one.
"Qi Wufu is a boorish man who only knows how to risk his life. Pass down the order to gather as much information as possible about this Xu Xiao. Whether it was his experience in the Jin City border army or his previous experience in Yi County. No matter how big or small, you have to investigate in detail and report to me.”
The Third Princess had a premonition that the attack by the Liyang border army and the border camp to wipe out the One-eyed Bandit she had buried at the border must have something to do with the young deputy commander of the Snowy Camp, Xu Xiao.
She had a premonition that this border guard called Xu Xiao might become a big trouble for her.
