"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 321
"Zhai Wenjing pays respects to the general."
A moment later, a staff member in a gray robe hurried into Chen Ziang's military tent.
Chen Ziang issued a recruitment order, all talented scholars can serve in the Qinghe Army.
Zhai Wenjing failed many times, so he had to go back to his hometown and set up a private school to make a living, but he was never reconciled in his heart.
? When Chen Ziang led the Qinghe Army troops passing by their hometown and learned of the recruitment order issued by Chen Ziang.
Zhai Wenjing directly closed the private school where she was making a living, and joined the Qinghe army, hoping to reprimand Fang Qiu in the future and govern the country and the people.
Now Zhai Wenjing is serving as a staff member under Chen Ziang's account, responsible for military counselors and making suggestions.
Zhai Wenjing stayed on duty last night, and was called up as soon as she went back to lie down. Chen Ziang called, but he didn't dare to neglect, and rushed over in a hurry.
Now Zhai Wenjing is full of doubts. He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that nothing happened last night, which made him feel at ease.
"What happened when you were on duty last night?"
Seeing Zhai Wenjing standing with his hands tied, Chen Ziang put down the finished porridge bowl and raised his head to ask.
Zhai Wenjing replied respectfully: "The scouts reported in the early morning that last night the 35th scout team of our army had an encounter with the court scouts, three of them were killed and eight of the court scouts were beheaded, and the heads were brought back for inspection. "
"Is there anything else?" Chen Ziang continued to ask.
After thinking for a while, Zhai Wenjing looked at Chen Ziang and shook her head: "Apart from this, there is no other report from below."
After hearing Zhai Wenjing's words, Chen Ziang also frowned. Could it be that Chu Yue heard it wrong?
"Did someone report that someone in the army died suddenly?" Chen Ziang asked tentatively.
Zhai Wenjing shook her head: "No one reported it."
"Well, go back and rest first, don't say anything about this."
Seeing Zhai Wenjing's puzzled face, Chen Ziang also felt that he would not lie to himself.
After all, besides Zhai Wenjing, the staff member who is on duty, there are also soldiers guarding outside the staff's tent. If you call them and ask, you will know that Zhai Wenjing has no reason to lie to herself.
More than a dozen people died suddenly in the camp. Chu Yue overheard the patrolling soldiers talking about it, but no one reported it. This is a bit intriguing.
More than a dozen people died suddenly. If there was a plague spreading, it would be no joke. If Chu Yue hadn't heard about it, he would still be kept in the dark.
Although Chu Yue had just joined their Qinghe army, she had no reason to deceive herself, because it was meaningless to spread such rumors.
Chen Ziang ordered Li Changqing, the captain of the personal guard, to go out. Not long after, a thousand soldiers arrived at Chen Ziang's military tent.
"Have you ever heard that someone died suddenly in the barracks last night?"
This thousand-person general is the head of the intelligence team secretly established by Chen Ziang himself. He has been hiding in the dark. Generally, there is no major event, and Chen Ziang will not take the initiative to find him.
"General, there is indeed such a thing." The intelligence chief replied directly and definitely.
"Sudden death is a ten-man team, and it belongs to the 3rd Banner Battalion under the 12th Banner Regiment. I sent someone to inquire. The military doctor's diagnosis was that they ate poisonous things by mistake. They just came back from a mission outside and didn't know What did they eat outside?"
The person in charge of intelligence explained: "Because the death was not caused by the plague, I did not report it."
Chen Ziang was also relieved to hear that the person in charge of intelligence said that it was not caused by the plague, but he was still worried.
"You should check this matter again to see what tasks they are going to perform, and secretly ask the military doctor to examine the corpse to clarify the matter. The plague is no joke."
"No!"
After speaking, the intelligence officer turned around and strode away.
Chen Ziang has established a secret intelligence network in the army, but this intelligence network is not perfect yet and is developing slowly.
Moreover, now that there are civil and military associations and military gendarmes in the army to supervise the troops, Chen Ziang is not afraid that the troops will mutiny and defect, so the intelligence network is not very useful.
Now that there is a task assigned by Chen Ziang, the person in charge of intelligence who has nothing to do is also taking it seriously.
They started a secret investigation in secret. If you don't investigate, you don't know, and you are shocked when you investigate.
Because they discovered that,The ten-man team that died suddenly happened to be one of the troops that had just returned from the hunt.
The target they were chasing was the general who secretly replaced Caishikou's executed criminals.
This thousand-man general bit his tongue and committed suicide on the way back from the arrest, and now a ten-man team in charge of the arrest suddenly died suddenly, which made the officer in charge of intelligence keenly aware that the situation was unusual.
They secretly dug out the buried corpses. The dead soldiers of the ten-man team were all poisoned to death, but nothing was found.
However, they found something extra about the general who bit his tongue and killed himself, because he didn't kill himself by biting his tongue at all, but was strangled to death, and there were bruises on his neck.
Through this series of discoveries, the officer in charge of intelligence also felt that there was an invisible big hand behind it, which made him feel chills on his back.
"It's really interesting."
After receiving the report from the intelligence officer, Chen Ziang never expected that so many things would be involved.
If Chu Yue hadn't accidentally heard someone in the army die suddenly, and she had asked one more question, I am afraid that this matter would soon become dust of history.
?The thousand-man general escaped because he accepted bribes to replace the criminals and was exposed. When he was caught and returned, it was this thousand-man general who was severely punished, and it had nothing to do with the others.
However, someone wanted to cover it up and killed the general of a thousand people, and then reported that he committed suicide by biting his tongue.
Now Chen Zi'ang had reason to suspect that the group of soldiers who died suddenly might be the murderers who were ordered to strangle the Thousand Generals to death, but they were also silenced.
Who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and what is his purpose? Chen Ziang now feels confused and has no clue.
Facing the imperial court's 100,000 troops, he didn't even have the slightest fear, but now facing this enemy hiding in the dark, Chen Ziang felt worried.
After all, it is easy to hide a sharp spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. An accidental incident made him discover that there was a mastermind hiding beside him, which made Chen Ziang break out in a cold sweat.
"You continue to investigate secretly, and you must find out the black hand behind the scenes. I want to see what is playing tricks." Chen Ziang told the intelligence officer.
"No!"
"General, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not." Chu Yue who was standing by the side spoke at this time.
"But it's okay to say."
Chu Yue took a look at Chen Ziang, and then summoned up her courage and said, "We don't know who the enemy is hiding behind the scenes. Even if we investigate secretly, because we don't know who the enemy is, they may notice it. In this way, we will be exposed instead. I don¡¯t think this approach is advisable, because we have lost our own power in the dark and let them have more defenses.¡±
After hearing Chu Yue's words, Chen Ziang also felt that there was some truth to it, because the enemy was in the dark, and they didn't know who the enemy was. As long as they investigated, there was a risk of arousing the enemy.
"Then do you have any good suggestions?"
Chen Ziang discovered that the young lady of the Chu family who he had rescued was not just a vase, she was not only careful in doing things, but also quite thoughtful.
"General, if someone is playing tricks in the dark and dare not reveal it, it means that their strength is not strong enough to threaten you, general, so why do you need to covertly investigate."
"I don't think it's better to send people to investigate all suspicious people directly. I think that way, even if they hide in the dark and face strict surprise investigations, they will have to respond."
"When they are tired of responding to our investigation on the surface, they don't have so much energy to pay attention to our hidden power. As long as our dark intelligence network pays more attention, we can always find some clues."
"It's a good one to repair the plank road in the dark and keep the warehouse in the dark. Okay, I will do as you said."
In fact, Chu Yue's suggestion to investigate directly was just a deception. In fact, they still relied on their secret intelligence network in the end.
It's just that in this way, it is tantamount to a two-pronged approach. Even if the enemy hides deeply, he may still be hit. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
