Zhang Jiao's strength in Jingzhou is extremely weak, and his foundation in Yizhou has basically been uprooted, since he will not give up himself easily, then he will definitely not stay away, the biggest possibility is to return to the nearest Guling, the most convenient stronghold that can gather people, Shouchun!
Shouchun is not far from Yuzhang, Yuan Shu seems to be powerful, but it is actually a strong external cadre, and unlike Yuan Shao, Zhang Jiao's influence on Yuan Shu is limited, although history has deviated, but from the information collected, Yuan Shu is nothing more than a few years later, if you raise an army as soon as possible to defeat Yuan Shu and capture Zhang Jiao is not difficult.
This elite army under Zhao Zhen has always been invincible, neither the Yellow Turban nor Yan Zhan is an opponent, and Liu Qi is even more confident after seeing the performance of the famous Jingzhou Army.
Liu Qi, who was in a better mood, sat by the river, picked up the stones and threw them into the river one by one, thinking about the future plan, thinking that in the end, he even had the idea of forming a special force led by Gan Ning to go deep behind the enemy and directly bring Zhang Jiao and Dunjia Tianshu back to him.
However, this thought only flashed in Liu Qi's mind and disappeared, Liu Qi knew that manpower was limited after all, and without the support of high-precision technical equipment, even if the personal ability of each team member was as strong as Gan Ning, its role would be greatly reduced.
Even if he wanted to flexibly establish a set of standards that met the current conditions, Liu Qishi couldn't think of any way to make this army rely on primitive equipment to carry out the tasks he requested, such as going deep behind enemy lines to raid Zhang Jiao's lair, capturing Zhang Jiao alive to capture Dunjia Tianshu and bring it to himself, the first thing to do was to determine Zhang Jiao's location, which could be done with a little more time, but how to sneak in and approach Zhang Jiao is a problem that cannot be overcome at present.
Even Yu Ji is difficult to find people dozens of meters away without relying on his eyes, otherwise Liu Qi would not be able to escape from the cave where Ji placed him, Liu Qi believes that Zhang Jiao can't really hear breathing and even heartbeat from a distance like the peerless master in the novel, and it shouldn't be difficult to approach Zhang Jiao's side within a dozen meters in the dark night.
But Zhang Jiao can't do things Liu Qi's future special combat team members can't do it either, Zhang Jiao is not alone, there are a large number of soldiers and henchmen around him to protect, these people can find a horn at night and drill it is the biggest obstacle to action, there is no anti-infantry radar of later generations, there is no infrared night vision device, there is not even the most basic telescope, there is no internal response, the action can only be carried out by improvisation after the team members infiltrate, it can be said that 99% of the hope of success lies in luck!
Just like Zhang Jiao's success and failure today, as long as a small accident can disrupt the pre-designed arrangement, without immediate means of communication to correct and adjust, there will be huge errors in special operations that require extremely high coordination and cooperation, and more unplanned situations will further appear, and the possibility of final mission failure will increase exponentially.
There were bursts of birdsong overhead from time to time, and Liu Qi looked up at the birds in the sky and scratched his head vigorously.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it must be tried, and after Yuzhang settles down, let's first form an experimental special operations team, I hope it can come in handy in the future.
As for the technical issues, this is not in a hurry, and the food has to be eaten step by step, so let's start with the most basic communication problems!
At present, the best way to improve the speed of communication is to use pigeons, eagles and falcons and other birds, this time Zhang Jiao once again gave him a big gift, that is, the owner of the wine shop that has been hidden in the ferry west of Qu Ren, Yu Hou, this person is good at domesticating birds, Liu Qi was targeted by this person when he went to Jiangzhou and followed him all the way with an eagle.
That Yu Hou is an important point among the many nodes that Zhang Jiao arranged in Yizhou to deliver messages, if you can find a way to take this person for your own use, you can form a communication network that you urgently need!
"Someone, call Gao Tan Gao Jing to see me!"
Liu Qi took a deep breath of the clammy and cold air, cheered up and got up and went back to the camp.
Cheng Guan and Gao Teng and others are still recuperating from their injuries, their injuries are basically almost better, although Gao Teng still needs a month or two to heal, but now it does not affect walking, there is no problem with taking a boat to command on the river, Gao Teng has always been steady, and he handed over the matter of grasping Yu Hou to him, Liu Qi is also very relieved.
After explaining to Gao Tan Gao Jing Huiqu Ren to assist Gao Teng, Liu Qi ordered to go back to the river to join Liu Hong, and before leaving, a Yellow Turban captives were hacked to death with a unified knife and abandoned in the river, Liu Qi looked at the sky and tried to think about other things, but the screams of those thieves before they died still penetrated into his ears.
Fortunately, except for the sudden nervousness in his heart when he heard the screams just now, Liu Qi did not find that he had the same strong reaction as the previous times, and even saw Zhang Ping and Xu Chen, who were covered in blood, walking towards him, Liu Qi felt that he had a feeling of being happy to eliminate harm for the people.
Xu Chen has been incorporated into Gao Hong's song since he followed Liu Qi into the county seat of Quren, and later when Liu Qi divided his troops, he was given priority because he shot a good arrow, and now he is the commander of the bow stroke.
"The general's great kindness to the villain is difficult to repay if he is a cow or a horse, and the big revenge has been avenged for the villain in this life without worry, I am willing to be the general's pawn, serve the general, and ask the general to answer!"
Xu Chen's face and body were soaked with blood, and the blood kept dripping along the sleeves when he hugged his fists and saluted, and he could see that the hearts of the people around him were hairy, and Liu Qi was also dizzy when he looked at it, but looking at his face more than seven feet tall and tears of blood, Liu Qi couldn't help but think of the tragedy in Bainiu Village again, and his eyes were moist.
Just as he was about to agree, Cai Yang leaned over and said with a smile: "General, I like this kid very much, after he killed the ugly ghost, he ran to the river and cut four or five in a row, without blinking his eyelids, that ruthlessness is not common, I heard that his archery skills are good, and it is a bit of a waste to be a guard, how about giving it to the last general?" ”
Now that Cai Yang opened his mouth, Liu Qi naturally wouldn't refute his face for this, and turned his head to comfort Xu Chen a few words: "People can't be resurrected after death, if you want to open some, you are still young and the days will be long, it is too condescending to stay by my side with a good ability, since Cai Tunchang has taken a fancy to you, you will listen to his arrangement in the future, you should know his character, and you can't be wronged by him." ”
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, then reacted and was excited, knocked his head three times and replied, "Thank you for the promotion!" Thank you Cai Tun for lifting up! ”
Chaisang (now Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province), the name of Jiujiang in Qin, because of the Ganjiang River and other nine rivers gathered in one place and got the name, the Han Dynasty set up a county, Han Gaozu six years (201 BC) the general of the car and cavalry to build a city here, so it is also called the city of the baby, in addition to the Three Kingdoms period to do a period of time as the political center of Eastern Wu, Chaisang is widely known in later generations, I am afraid that it is mainly because in the Eastern Jin Dynasty out of a superstar writer in Chinese history, Tao Yuanming!
Liu Qi's father liked the author of the famous Peach Blossom Spring, so Liu Qi was fortunate to follow his father many times to the southwest of Jiujiang to inspect and sightsee the ruins of Chaisang, and to be able to see the original appearance of the ruins more than 1,800 years ago on behalf of his father, Liu Qi had mixed feelings, and if his father knew about his adventure, he would definitely rush to come.
Thinking of this, Liu Qi felt a sense of accomplishment, and he was full of optimism and expectation for his future in this world.
The ancient city of Chaisang in front of you is about to belong to yourself, Chaisang is an extremely important transportation hub on the waterway of the Yangtze River, and it is the gate of Poyang Lake, you can advance and retreat freely when you occupy Chaisang with soldiers, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and now it is easy to fall into the hands, which undoubtedly gave Liu Qi great confidence.
"Xian Yang Gong, please!"
Liu Qi smiled, reined in his horse, turned around, and made a gesture of please to a fifty-year-old man behind him.
"Open the gates!"
The old man was listless and urged the horse to rush forward to the soldiers who were waiting on the city wall and waved his hand, he was the commander of Chaisang County, surnamed Xiahou Mingda, the word is prominent, the ancestor is the founding father of the Han Dynasty Xiahou Ying, when Xiahou Ying was named Ruyin (now Fuyang City, Anhui Province) Hou by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Xiahou clan has spread out for four hundred years, and the clansmen are all over the surrounding counties and counties with Ruyin as the center, and it is a well-deserved first clan in the south of the Huai River.
In Yuzhang County, the Xiahou clan is all over Chaisang, Nanchang, Ai County, Nanchang, Poyang, Yun (pronounced with Yun) Yang, Haiduan and other counties, firmly holding half of Yuzhang, and if it were not for the Hanyi and the southern half of Yuzhang, Xiahou would have unified Yuzhang a long time ago.
A few days ago, a group of more than 100 people suddenly entered Chaisang County, this group of people is brave and difficult, several large families in the townships were looted, Xiahouda as a county parent official naturally can not sit idly by, not to mention that the robbery is also his kindred, yesterday Tanma reported that this group of thieves actually swaggered in a valley near Chaisang County, this obviously did not put Xiahouda in his eyes at all.
Xiahou Da was furious, and immediately gathered the private soldiers of the big clans from all over the county to Chaisang County to prepare to surround and annihilate this group of thieves in one go, who expected that after rushing to the valley, he only got an empty camp, and what was even more depressing was that not only did he find nothing, but thousands of people and horses were surrounded and disarmed by an army of unknown origin as thieves.
The young and excessive general in the lead claimed that he came to fight against the thieves on the orders of Liu Zhang of Yizhou, how could this be reasonable, even if he wanted to arrest the thieves, he should be ventilated in advance, how could he indiscriminately treat my Chaisang officers and soldiers as thieves, why did the soldiers of Yizhou come to Yangzhou to do mischief? It's lawless!
Xiahouda's heart was full of grievances, incomprehension and anger, but in the face of the other party's murderous momentum, he had no choice but to cooperate in a low voice, no way, this group of people knew at a glance that they were all murderous and unblinking, and the heroes did not suffer the immediate losses, so they endured this breath for the time being, no matter whether they caught the thief or not, they would leave after a few days, and it would not be too late to find Liu Zhang, the assassin, and that Liu Zhang.
When he saw that as soon as Liu Qi entered the city, he commanded his subordinates at all levels to take over all military and government affairs in Chaisang County as quickly as possible, Xiahou Da was shocked and covered with cold sweat.
A group of officials of all sizes who were taken away from their public positions and driven out of the government office with a word gathered around Xiahouda in horror and cried and cried, although Liu Qi repeatedly asked his subordinates not to hurt people, but several officials who stood up to resist still suffered a secret loss, although they did not see blood, they were still bruised and swollen.
