"So, the most important problem for the Shadow Guard right now is the lack of manpower?" Gu Xun confirmed calmly as he walked non-stop towards the outside of the palace.
Zhang Han nodded, his ponytail twitching, "That's it, Master Imperial Master."
"Then how to solve it? Recruiting people like a snare?" Gu Xun asked with a smile as he turned his head.
"No." Zhang Han shook his head and denied, "The Shadow Guard's first priority is to protect the king and members of the royal family. Its members must be loyal enough and cannot recruit people from outside at will. They must train themselves as much as possible."

Gu Xun frowned, "Cultivate yourself... It will take at least three to five years to cultivate reliable enough manpower. Is it possible that during this period of time, the Shadow Secret Guard is just a shell with no name?"<
/p>
"Of course not." Zhang Han hurriedly explained, "The King specially mobilized some elites from the army to form the first batch of Shadow Guards. After several months of intensive training, they are basically usable. Of course, the manpower is still not enough.
."
The Shadow Guards obviously follow the elite route. They may not reach the level of Jixiawei, but not just anyone is qualified to join. Even if the elites in the army are recruited, it is impossible to draw too many. Besides, this
Members of this kind of special force with espionage qualities are not suitable simply because of their strength, but also need to be further screened.
By peeling it off layer by layer, it is impossible for Zhang Han to receive many manpower from Ying Zheng.
"How many people do you have now?" Gu Xun thought for a while and asked again.
Zhang Han replied without hesitation, "Less than 200 people."
"Well...what's the approximate level of strength?"
Zhang Han's eyelids shrank slightly, probably thinking about how to describe the level of his subordinates, "In terms of strength...if more than twenty people fight together, they should be able to defeat the same number of Luowang ground-level killers, but if
When fighting alone, I'm afraid it's just a little better than the Juezi level."
"Is that so..." Gu Xun put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly, "Then you don't have enough manpower."
Of course, the protection of the Shadow Guards cannot be the same as that of the Forbidden Army Guards, who can stand in front of the target. In fact, if it was for this kind of protection, Ying Zheng would not have to set up the Shadow Secret Guards.
Is it that the quality of Xianyang's imperial soldiers is not high enough, or is the quantity not high enough?
What the Shadow Guards have to do is to secretly identify adverse actions against the protection target, and after identifying the situation, before the incident occurs, or when it occurs, prevent it from happening.
The advantage of this kind of protection is that it can reduce the probability of accidents. After all, it is easy to guard against thieves for a thousand days. It is safer to get the first opportunity. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. It requires manual investigation, and it cannot be mediocre.<
/p>
And now, King Qi is coming, it is the time for the secret guards to work, but there are about a hundred people...a lot less, a lot is really not enough, not to mention far away places, just in Xianyang
After this piece was spread out, there was no trace.
Zhang Han smiled bitterly and nodded, "The general also knows this. Especially at this time, the general has sent almost all his men along the road where King Qi comes to Xianyang. But even if it is just such a thing, the manpower
It’s no longer enough.”
As the actual leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, Zhang Han had been under a lot of pressure before. He came from an ordinary background and had an average family background. He worked hard to get to this position bit by bit. Now he has finally come forward. If the Shadow Secret Guard
If Wei's job is not done well, he may return to before liberation overnight.
But a clever woman can't make a meal without rice. No matter how powerful he is, he can't conjure people out of thin air. All he can do is arrange the manpower as reasonably as possible to reduce unnecessary waste of human resources.
And now, he has a nominal superior.
Gu Xun glanced at him and found that Zhang Han was looking at him with bright eyes, obviously waiting for a reply from him.
"Uh..." In any case, the Shadow Guards are now considered his subordinates. Gu Xun still reluctantly said, "I will arrange for you three... two good guys later to sneak into assassinations and spy on intelligence.
They are all the most professional, and they should also have some experience in training their subordinates."
Gu Xun hesitated for a moment before picking out the parrot song.
Yingge is the most loved by Mingzhu because of the convenient gender... It refers to the aspect of summoning people. Compared with Mo Ya and Bai Feng, Mingzhu likes to use her more, so Gu Xun thought about it and decided to leave people to Mingzhu.
Well, lest she turn around and say that he was secretly stumbling upon her.
"Thank you so much, Imperial Master." Zhang Han said with regret, cupping his fists.
Although two top experts in this business can be worth a dozen or even dozens of ordinary goods, they cannot completely solve his urgent needs, not to mention the manpower arranged by Gu Xun.
The people under his command call and drink at will, but they have to pay attention to their propriety.
"General Zhang, I don't understand the specific operations of the Shadow Guard, and I have no intention of getting involved. I'd rather bother you with this aspect."
"Please rest assured, Master, I will eventually understand."
The pace of the two of them was relatively fast. In just a few words, they were already not far from the entrance and exit of the palace. Seeing this, Gu Xun finally warned, "If you have any trouble, just come to me... Of course, there is a problem of shortage of manpower."
Just don’t mention it again.”
"Yes." Zhang Han still responded respectfully, looking like a loyal subordinate.
Gu Xun smiled when he saw this, and reminded him pointedly:
"Your Majesty asked me to be the nominal commander of the Shadow Guards. Naturally, the purpose is to use my name in the world to eliminate some of the troubles invisibly. General Zhang should be very clear about this." Zhang Han just smiled warmly, bowed slightly, and pretended to listen to the teachings, without commenting on Gu Xun's words.
Gu Xun didn't care when he didn't get a response, and then finished the rest of his words:
"But, General Zhang, as the actual leader of the Shadow Guard, I think you need to think more about it."
Zhang Han's brows trembled, but he still couldn't help but asked, "What does the Imperial Preceptor hope that the general will... think about?"
"Haha!" Gu Xun showed an unclear smile and seemed to think about it for a moment before replying, "Think about it...why did His Majesty ask me to take charge of the Shadow Secret Guard?"
"..." When Zhang Han heard this, his expression changed several times, but he didn't say anything after all.
At this time, the two of them also arrived at the palace gate, and under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards, they left Zhangtai Palace unimpeded.
After leaving, Gu Xun and Zhang Han parted ways. He still had his own affairs to be busy with.
As for transferring people to Zhang Han, it would be enough for him to tell Mo Ya later.
Of course, it is impossible for the Shadow Guard to have a fixed office, but Zhang Han can be regarded as a mid-to-high-level officer, and his rank is not inferior to that of Meng Tian before him. He is somewhat unknown in Xianyang, so it will not be difficult for Mo Ya to find him.
