It's time to test their abilities, and it's also time to verify the results of their education in the martial arts hall over the years.
It is estimated that by this time, Wang Shunchen must have entered Huangtou Huihe's sphere of influence, and Zhe Kexing is about to enter...
"Guan Family, believe in them! No matter if any of these five people are given time to grow up, none of them will be worse than the veteran! Even stronger than the first generation guard battalion captain of Guan Family. They will definitely return safely!"
Zhao Xi wandered to the martial arts lecture hall. He didn't know why, but he came anyway. Di Qing reassured the officials, but Ouyang Xiu said nothing.
Everyone’s considerations are different, and their emotional reactions to the official’s appearance are also different.
Di Qing judged others by himself and considered the thoughts of the official family based on his own experience. Because the official family continued his life, and based on the guard camp in these years, it completely changed the old appearance of the country's weak military equipment. Therefore, Di Qing thought
, officials attach great importance to the military.
With the official's mood, Di Qing thought that the official was worried about these five exploration teams.
But Ouyang Xiu knew what the official family was struggling with.
Controlling a passage that runs through the spheres of influence of Tubo and Huangtou Uighurs requires a lot of things, especially the need to kill a lot of people... This is what the officials are struggling with.
Because most of the people in this department should be innocent. Officials are not bloodthirsty. On the contrary, they have always followed the way of the Holy King.
"The official family is the king of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Xi was very puzzled that Ouyang Xiu could have such an idea. Indeed, did he, the king of the Song Dynasty, really care about Tubo and Uighur? It seems not.
Zhao Xi had come to Wutang for a walk before, so it was normal for him to come here. Why did Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu think they were in a dilemma?
Is it possible that he needs to stay in the palace all the time? Isn't that a sign of lack of confidence? He can't be messy at this time. Zhao Xi knows this very well, so he does exactly what he should do as before. But he was defeated.
The worker misunderstood.
It's definitely impossible to say that I'm not worried. If I'm to say that I'm entangled, I don't seem to have any. I can't tell. I should be more concerned about whether the plan against Xixia can succeed this time.
The Pathfinder did play a considerable role in planning Xixia.
That's all, no one really thinks they are normal. As the saying goes, whatever is in your heart is what you see. The important officials who know the inside story are all worried about this matter, and what they see of themselves is also worried about this matter.
, even if it is a normal behavior, it will have other meanings at this time.
Such relief from Di Qing and Ouyang Xiu made Zhao Xi feel a little unable to deal with it. Explanation? It seemed that he didn't care about innocent lives, or he didn't care about the elite pathfinding soldiers of the fifth team. Not explaining? He was worried that he would make them feel unstable.
It's really troublesome. It's better to just stay in Qinzheng Hall.
"Ouyang Gong, Di Gong, you may not believe me if I say that I am not worried about the Pathfinders. In fact, I am not very worried. I believe in their adaptability."
"First of all, they are on a mission as a caravan. They will choose when to be soldiers and when to be merchants."
"Secondly, with their strength, if they want to attack the Pathfinders, they can escape without ten times the number of people. Once the five teams merge, I think there will be no problem in crossing this passage."
"One more thing, as for the task of cleaning up the entire road, I believe that the total population on this road will not exceed tens of thousands, including horse bandits. It can even be said that even Dingkou, which has been settled for a long time, is made up of horses.
Derived from banditry, I am not worried about the lives of less than tens of thousands of aliens and bandits."
"Actually, I'm just doing what I have to do as usual."
Who comforted whom?
······
When Zhao Xi returned to Qinzheng Hall, Fu Bi was already waiting there.
"The officials came to the martial arts lecture hall?"
Zhao Xi looked at Fu Bi in confusion, wondering what he meant by what he said. Whatever, do you really think you can't sit still?
"Officials, a report has arrived. I need permission from the official before I can read it. I am here to see the report."
Fu Bi tried his best to appear relaxed and didn't even speak like he usually did. Regarding this Pathfinder operation, Zhao Xi had already instructed the Imperial City Department to share information with the Prime Minister.
"Let the rich prime minister see it first."
Zhao Xi said hello and went to change clothes first. When he went to the martial arts hall, Zhao Xi always wore short clothes. Every time he went there, he would walk around the facilities, but not today.
"Did the officials expect this to be the case?"
"What?"
Fu Bi asked with no clue. Zhao Xi didn't even know what was going on ahead, so how could he answer?
Fu Bi handed over the report, and then Zhao Xi read the report from the Imperial City Division.
It turned out that after Gao Jingting cleaned up all the traces and prepared to continue marching westward, he made a detailed report to the court based on the information left by the previous teams.
"There must be horse bandits and thieves, and the rich prime minister may not have thought of it. As for not letting them carry supplies, I have this consideration. It seems that the first step is not bad."
"Fu Xiang, tell Mr. Wenge later and start sending a small number of soldiers to the west of Qingtang,"
"Send soldiers now?"
"Yes, since the pathfinders have cleared the road and found the water source, they can naturally station troops. Besides, the imperial court originally planned to send out this last partial division."
"In addition, the last team of Imperial City Division detectives cannot turn back too far. They need to relay in sections, just like a post station, in order to pass on the message."
······
Gao Jingting cleaned up everything and hid all the supplies at the horse bandits' stronghold. There were too many things that he couldn't take away.
A group of thirty or fifty horse bandits, accumulated for many years, their five teams of pathfinders, whose mission is to fight, are not suitable for carrying too much goods. Besides, depending on the situation, there should be more supplies to be moved forward.
Four teams stayed.
Gao Jingting didn't know when the imperial court would send troops, so he could only leave some supplies suitable for storage.
As the Privy Council's order was issued, troops were stationed in various state capitals and began to assemble sporadically toward the west. They were either merchants, porters, or long-distance travelers visiting relatives.
Wang Shao had already begun to prepare for the conquest of Qingtang City, and Zhang Dun and Su Che arranged for the disposal of all these scattered soldiers. They carried certain supplies, avoided Qingtang City, and headed west.
When the number of soldiers gathered in the west reaches a certain number, it will be the time for the Hehuang Governor's Mansion to attack Qingtang. This part of the assembled army not only needs to respond to the pathfinder team, but also needs to ambush those fleeing Qingtang.
.
According to the imperial edict, the Qingtang people who fled westward must be completely wiped out, and no other forces should appear on this line.
