Lu Tao heard what the communications soldier said and looked at him: "Shouldn't the information sent by the Military Intelligence Department be recorded in the file? Why were they sent to me by name?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but although this secret message was sent by the Military Intelligence Office, it was sent in a private name." The communications soldier stepped forward and handed a folder to Lu Tao's adjutant: "This message is

The title of the secret message uses a primary code, and the deciphered content was personally signed by Commander Lu Tao. Its content is a second-level secret message, and the communications department does not have the authority to decipher it."

"I understand, go ahead and do your work." Lu Tao waved away the communication soldiers, then looked at his guards: "Decipher the content of the message."

"yes!"

The guard took the folder, took out the code book he carried with him, and began to check and translate. At the same time, he wrote the contents of the secret message on a piece of paper next to it. A few minutes later, the guard stood up from the table: "Military Commander, decipher the message.

alright."

Lu Tao used a telescope to observe the fighting in the distance: "Read!"

"Brother's communication was interrupted. Foolish brother had no choice but to send a message. Our department intercepted the secret order. Lu Meng was involved in a dispute. He will rush to Lingnan Chaoxi Town before tomorrow night. His whereabouts have been leaked. There is fear of a conspiracy. Special report and brother

Decide whether to inform the owner of the family, please reply, the signature is the word "Zhuo".

"Lu Meng?" Lu Tao said to the adjutant after hearing the contents of the secret message: "Call back to Lu Zhuo from the Military Intelligence Department immediately."

The adjutant reminded: "Sir, we are located in a deep mountain, and the satellite phone cannot be connected. We can only use internal calls, and we cannot communicate with people outside Qiongling!"

"Prepare the car and go to the rear!"

Lu Tao, who had been out of the firing line for several days and was unable to persuade anyone, did not hesitate after hearing that Lu Meng was in trouble and directly chose to leave the battlefield and retreat to the rear.

Three hours later, Lu Tao left the front line, returned to the rear position, and immediately dialed Lu Zhuo's phone number.

"Second brother, is that you?" Lu Zhuo asked excitedly after receiving Lu Tao's call.

Lu Zhuo is a collateral bloodline of the Lu Tianhe family. He is the cousin of Lu Tao and Lu Meng. He also works in the Military Intelligence Office and is a colleague of Lu Meng. However, the Military Intelligence Office is a very large department with many branches, so he

There is no work overlap with Lu Meng. Lu Meng's place of work belongs to the special tasks department, while Lu Zhuo works in the telecommunications department.

Lu Tao recognized Lu Zhuo's voice and responded: "I'm Lu Tao! Xiao Zhuo, you sent me a secret message before, saying that something happened to Lu Meng. What happened?"

"Second brother, you have to save fourth brother! He is being targeted!" Lu Zhuo knew that the matter was critical, so he did not talk too much, but said concisely: "I found out the news that Zhang Duo, who was next to fourth brother, was killed by bandits.

Caught, they agreed to trade with the bandits in Chaoxi Town, Lingnan, before sunset tomorrow."

When Lu Tao heard this, he frowned: "Is Lu Meng crazy? As a soldier, how could he have anything to do with bandits?"

"Second brother, this is not the point. The point is that the fourth brother's plan to go to Chaoxi Town has been exposed, and the news has spread to Daosui City!" Lu Zhuo lowered his voice: "In addition to controlling the outside world, the Military Intelligence Department also

Internal surveillance, and this information of mine was intercepted on the Lu Heng family’s private radio station.”

Lu Tao frowned and remained silent.

Lu Zhuo saw that Lu Tao was silent and continued: "Second brother, in the past, I would report to the head of the family whenever I intercepted information related to the Lu Heng family, but this matter is related to fourth brother. I really can't make up my mind. Si Lai

If I want to go, I still think I should inform you first."

"What you did is right. You really can't let my dad know about it. It's hard for the old man to reach out to Lingnan in Daosui City. It doesn't make much sense for him to know about this kind of thing." Lu

After listening to Lu Zhuo's words, Tao suppressed the matter directly: "I will find a way to deal with this matter. You should pay close attention to the secret messages of the Lu Heng family. If there are any messages about Lu Meng, please inform me at any time!"

Lu Tao, like Lu Meng, was from a noble family, but he was born with a good-natured personality and did not have as rich a life experience as Lu Meng. It was difficult to understand why Lu Meng would hang out with a lowly group like bandits.

, At this time, Lu Tao did not think about this matter too complicated, and directly asked the adjutant to call the guide over. Their guides were all members of the Lu family's border guard force, and they had a deep understanding of Lingnan and Qiongling.

, has been helping Lu Tao fight guerrillas.

A few minutes later, a lieutenant walked into the tent and saluted Lu Tao: "Sir!"

Lu Tao returned the greeting and then asked the lieutenant: "Do you know that there is a place called Chaoxi Town on the south side of Lingnan?"

"Sir, why are you suddenly interested in bandits?" The lieutenant was startled, and then responded quickly: "Chaoxi Town is about three hundred kilometers away from Qiongling. It is a gathering place for bandits, and the bandits in the surrounding area will gather there.

Go there and trade.”

Lu Tao originally thought that Chaoxi Town was an ordinary town. After learning that it was a bandit town, his face became more serious: "Is this place dangerous?"

The lieutenant shook his head: "There is no safe place in Lingnan, especially Chaoxi Town, which is a gathering place for all major bandits. It is a forbidden area. I have never been there. Moreover, our previous troops were transporting supplies.

They will deliberately avoid the location of Chaoxi Town."

Lu Tao picked up the tea cup: "In other words, although you have never been there, you can find this place, right?"

The lieutenant nodded: "Yes!"

"Okay!" Lu Tao heard this and said to the adjutant: "You immediately assemble two companies... no, a reinforced battalion of soldiers and set out for Chaoxi Town. If Lu Meng is in danger, help him!

"

In this matter, Lu Tao made a decision without thinking at all. After all, the blood of the two brothers is thicker than water. As Lu Meng's brother, he would never watch Lu Meng die at the hands of bandits.

.

"Sir, you should think twice about this!" The adjutant heard this order, waved his hand to repel the guide, and said seriously: "When you come to the Qiongling battlefield, there are eight hundred pairs of eyes watching behind you! Our troops are here now.

On the battlefield, you are marching forward with great success. This is the time to go all out, but you must not make any mistakes!

Although you are the commander of an independent column, you do not have the right to command the battlefield. Lu Feibai is the commander-in-chief of the Qiongling battlefield. You have the right to fight, but not the right to deploy troops! Once the troops are transferred to the battlefield outside Qiongling, they will inevitably

You will be blamed! It is a taboo for military strategists to dispatch troops privately!"

Lu Tao waved his hand: "You must know how to be flexible when doing things. This unit will be withdrawn in the name of logistics supplies and rest!"

"We can adapt, but others can't! There is no problem with the troops withdrawing to the rear to recuperate, but being transferred out of the war zone to perform other tasks has a completely different meaning!" The adjutant stood still, obviously confused.
Chapter completed!
