"The king personally rewards you for your military exploits in Huashan County. From now on, the flag of your squadron will be changed to 'Ding Kui Squadron'. The newly established legion will have a squadron with an independent name. You are the first in military history. ??
People at different levels look at things from different perspectives. The big bosses in the DPRK and China attach the most importance to the imperial approval of gold medals and arrows, while the middle and lower-level officers such as Feng Liang and others attach the most importance to leaving their names in military history.
Looking at Ding Kui's confused face and lack of reaction, Xue Chong said: "When the Shaodian Kingdom was founded, there were twenty legions. The independent title was given to the troops after the establishment of the Commander-in-Chief's Office. From establishment to In the past, the shortest interval between being awarded an independent title was a few years. No one else has such an interval of about a month. It is difficult not to leave a name in military history.
Such important news should be reported to the entire theater, but we have been behind enemy lines recently. For safety reasons, the superiors will not rush to pass the news to our division. Captain Feng should have heard it from the people of the 211th Division. Are you coming?"
"Yes, the Commander-in-Chief also awarded you the First Class Medal of Valor, a secondary banner, special equipment, and a bounty of 100,000 coins. In addition, the King also awarded you a gold-medal arrow, 100,000 gold coins, and 100,000 pieces of royal silk and satin. , there are ten maids in the palace, the palace of the Protector of the Kingdom will be doubled, and you will be granted permission not to step down from your position until you see the official position, and you will be promoted to military rank first." Feng Liang asked in detail.
"Imperial-approved gold-medal arrows?" Ding Kui knew the importance of this thing. "Damn it... wow, I can be the commander of the war zone for a time. The total is only 200,000 gold coins. Isn't that stingy?"
"What? What? Two hundred thousand gold coins! Enough to live for several lifetimes." Xue Chong said with his eyes widened.
"Haha, Captain Xue, don't mention money to junior brother. Every idea he has is worth more than 200,000 gold coins."
"By the way, what is special equipment?" Ding Kui asked.
"Those are the latest weapons and equipment developed by the Equipment Department. They change almost every year. The ones equipped for you generally include armor, long swords, spears, etc. Each set of special equipment is hand-made by the masters of the Equipment Department. The quantity It is too rare to be deployed in the army, and only senior generals and heroes have the opportunity to use it." Xue Chong's saliva dripped when he spoke.
"Oh, good stuff!" Judging from Xue Chong's appearance, Ding Kui also knew how precious the special equipment was.
"Junior brother, don't just focus on those external things, leave your name in military history! Teacher must be very happy to know." Feng Liang realized that Ding Kui's excitement was different from his own, and immediately reminded the junior brother.
"It's important to leave a name in military history, but no matter how hard I try, I can't outdo my ancestors at home. This battle won't be over in a short time. I still care about practical things. Things like silks and satins, palace maids, etc. were given to Ding Yu for free. , he won’t even want it.”
"You can give me two hundred thousand gold coins. I really don't want the silk and the maid." Ao Yu immediately cheered up.
"Get out!" Ding Kui was very unhappy.
"Get out of here too." Xue Chong pointed at Ding Kui and said, "Go to the east gate and guard the city gate for me. If any enemy spies sneak in, I will only ask you." He said matter-of-factly. I was stimulated by Ding Kui's attitude toward two hundred thousand gold coins.
During the war, the governance of the battlegrounds was in chaos, and a large number of civilians were missing. It was the best time for both warring parties to send spies to each other to infiltrate, and spies disguised as refugees from the enemy country emerged in large numbers.
However, this time Zhe Sheng disguised himself as a refugee from his own country and was driven by the Meng army into the enemy-occupied area of Nanzhao Prefecture. The number one killer of the Shaodian State intelligence agency disguised himself as a yellow-faced man in his forties and infiltrated into the Meng
The young and strong civilians held hostage by the army poured into Xiaxuan Pass.
The civilians who had just been kidnapped by the Meng army were detained in prisoner-of-war camps and guarded by specialized troops. However, these troops could not see Zhe Sheng, the spy who had caused great trouble in Cao State. Zhe Sheng slipped out in a dark night.
Prisoner of war camp.
The Meng army occupied seventeen cities in Nanqiu County and twenty cities in Yanling County. Cao Qi's coalition forces occupied ten cities in Jinping County. They both recruited domestic nobles to manage the occupied areas.
The military does not have experience in managing local areas, and suppressing the people of the enemy's 47 cities requires at least more than 200,000 troops. Therefore, various countries are accustomed to encouraging domestic nobles to occupy areas and open up wasteland.
The output of the occupied areas belongs to the managers. The kingdom will charge a part of the tax depending on the difficulty of management. At the same time, labor can be collected for free, so many nobles are willing to risk going to the occupied areas.
Nobles do not go to occupied areas alone. The number of people in a city occupied by an enemy country is generally much smaller than before the occupation. Managing a city requires 3,000 to 5,000 fully armed troops, so they will bring their family's private army and mercenaries. Very few
The big nobles are willing to come to earn money for occupying the area, but the families that are willing to come are not large enough to raise a private army of several thousand people. Mercenaries are an indispensable component of the armed forces.
The occupied areas are very dangerous. In addition to people who are unwilling to be ruled by the enemy, there are also spies hidden among the civilians. Many nobles have been stabbed to death by spies.
Zhe Sheng did not sneak into the occupied area of Nanma Prefecture alone. Most of the people in the Killer Hall of the Intelligence Department sneaked into this area occupied by the Three Kingdoms. His first destination was Nanqiu County City, where he wanted to establish an underground
Resistance base.
Nanqiu County City was forcibly breached by three legions. Most of the defenders and the magicians who were guarding the city died in the battle. However, there were still a group of defenders and magicians who lurked down and blended into the city's common people.
Shaodianmi once personally sneaked into enemy-occupied areas and established a secret spy network behind enemy lines. In Nanqiu County, he contacted several lurking defenders and magicians, and established a hall behind enemy lines there, responsible for secretly organizing and contacting the entire enemy.
Resistance forces behind enemy lines.
Resistance activities behind enemy lines require experienced leaders. Shaodianmi could not stay behind enemy lines for a long time, so after he left, he sent Zhe Sheng to the occupied areas to serve as the leader of the hall behind enemy lines.
The intelligence systems of the three kingdoms of Meng, Cao, and Qi naturally would not allow the people from the Shaodian State Intelligence Department to mess around in the occupied areas. They mobilized a large number of spies from the mainland and sent the main person in charge of counter-espionage to lead the army.
Determined to clear out the Shaodian spies hiding among the civilians.
In the forty-seven occupied cities in Nanzhao Prefecture, people died inexplicably every day. There were Shaodian people and foreigners, civilians and noble soldiers. A seemingly invisible war was going on vigorously.
After Zhe Sheng escaped from the prisoner-of-war camp, she traveled all night. She could still discern the direction in the dark, and was able to skillfully avoid the checkpoints set by the Meng army and the patrols on the road. It took only one night to leave Xiaxuan Pass with a hundred people.
More than kilometers away, deep into Nanqiu County.
After dawn, Zhe Sheng hid in an empty transport convoy returning home, sleeping while not wasting his time on the road.
