At night, Baozhou City, which had been busy all day, fell into a deep sleep, and the streets were dim, only far away, there was a small air dead wind lamp, flickering with a dim light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even as an ordinary county town in the Northern Song Dynasty, after entering the night, there are few tracks, let alone a border military state, and after nightfall, there are almost no tracks.

In a very inconspicuous house in Baozhou, after dark, a man in black quietly entered, and then knocked on the window, three long and two short, regular and rhythmic.

The middle-aged man in the room quickly got up from the bed, picked up a sharp knife by the pillow, quietly came to the window, and gently replied twice.

After about a few breaths, the middle-aged man opened the window, and there was silence outside the window, and under the moonlight, he could see everything in the courtyard clearly, and there was no one.

He didn't look around, but picked up an inconspicuous small stone on the windowsill, and pinched it slightly, and the stone actually softened, revealing a small ball of paper.

It's not that this man is infinitely powerful, because this stone that looks like a small black stone is made of noodles, and it is very soft, and the middle-aged man took a piece of wax paper from inside, opened it, and his face changed slightly, and then swallowed the wax paper.

The next day, the middle-aged man changed his clothes and went out, after several changes of road, almost circled around Baozhou, and entered a house, and the top of the house suddenly read, Wangfu.

This palace is not the other palace, the owner of this palace is Wang Yuan, which is a branch of the Hebei Wang family, but not Wang Chao's, his great-grandfather, and Wang Chao's father is a cousin, to this generation, it has been quite far, if it is counted, it can only be called the same clan, or like a far away clan.

Fortunately, Wang Yuan is also competitive, and in 1028, he was promoted, so he entered Wang Deyong's field of vision, walked the way of the Wang family, and successfully entered the Daimyo's mansion, becoming the most ordinary bookstore.

However, Wang Yuan is in Baozhou, which is a six-grade military state, and a civil official from the eighth rank is not inconspicuous at all, not to mention the entire Hebei, and even Baozhou, a border military state, he is just a deputy of the market department, and he can play a very small role.

What the middle-aged man is looking for is Wang Yuan, yesterday Miaojiazhuang opened a market, for the Wang family, it is a rare opportunity, they have already prepared a group of assassins, and through Wang Yuan, enter Miaojiazhuang.

Although Wang Yuan is just a petty official from the eighth grade, he happens to be in charge of business, and the identities of all the assassins are arranged by him, and he is the only one who has this way to arrange all this, I thought it was foolproof, at least 50 assassins of the second rank and above were transferred, including 9 first-level assassins, as long as someone responds and creates chaos, 9 first-level assassins will shoot together, even if it is Xue Yu Sunji, they will not be able to protect safety.

9 first-level assassins, but not one of the Wang family, the Wang family only provided 2, and the rest were made up by the supporters behind them, such a lineup, caught off guard, the body could assassinate Zaifu, but it failed here.

The reason for the failure is very simple, there is no chance, that's right, they hold Zhao Xin to come to see the excitement, or the opportunity to enter the vicinity of the market, but Zhao Xin came out, before the market opened, came and took a turn, just looked at a few, and didn't even approach any of the assassins, at that time there were only some vendors, at most 1000 people, and Sun Ji was fully armed to protect them, they distorted their shots, and they couldn't please them.

Sun Ji, Xue Yu and the others were all wearing armor and carrying a large number of long-range weapons, plus more than 50 Zhuang Ding, they had a chance to create chaos, even if they made a move, there would be no good results.

There is no way, they can only repay, this is a good opportunity, they still have no interesting opportunity, the other party is on guard, has thought about everything, just stay in the mansion, and do not give them the opportunity to break through and attack while the chaos is in chaos.

They also probed the intelligence of the mansion, that is, in the process of using this meeting, they watched from a distance, 8 arrow towers, and firmly controlled the mansion, and also had archery masters like Xue Yu and Sun Ji, such a level of defense was simply nightmarish, they were assassins, not warriors, and they could only hide in the dark to attack, not attack.

Even if it is a strong attack, let alone 50, even if it is 200 regular soldiers, they will not be able to capture this mansion when they do not slack off on the siege engine.

Wang Yuan was silent for a long time and didn't speak, Wang Shi was a little anxious, and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you say, do we continue to act, or return home." ”

Wang Shi said so in his mouth, but his anxious expression betrayed the true thoughts in his heart, from the beginning, he did not plan to report, as the temporary head of intelligence in Baozhou, it was the first time he presided over such a big operation, not to achieve a little success, but to report home, even if it was successful in the future, there was no credit to him, but there was a disadvantage.

Wang Shi wanted to hear Wang Yuan's other methods, but he didn't expect that Wang Yuan just said very blandly: "Return home!" ”

"Why?" Wang Shi's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "What about the power we can mobilize, if we can, I can mobilize another 300 people." ”

Wang Yuan glanced at Wang Shi with a little disdain, this stupid guy only thought about rushing, but he didn't look at the current situation, he sighed and said, "Because I just received a news that Miaojiazhuang applied for group training." ”

"What, group training, refuse him." Wang Shi said loudly.

Wang Yuan looked at Wang Shi angrily and funny, squinted his eyes and said, "What can I do to stop it!" ”

Wang Shi then thought that he was too panicked before, and forgot Wang Shi's identity, Wang Shi was just a petty official from the eighth grade, and on the market side, there was still some oil and water, and some small rights, so he couldn't affect the state judgment.

The state fu and the state judgment are both people from Renzong, and Miaojiazhuang applied for group training for formal reasons, there is no reason not to approve this, not to mention that Wang Yuan can't do it, even if Wang Deyong can't do it.

"And how many people did they apply to?"

"800 people!"

800 people is a decent number, not the largest number of group training, with the status of Miaojiazhuang, as well as the relationship with the state Fu, with the grid, to apply for a 2000 people group training, there is no problem at all, if Miaojiazhuang is really so exceptional, Wang Deyong and some other military personnel, with the method of questioning, stranded, will affect the time of the application for the group training.

If there are only 800 people, it will not work at all, the governor can decide on his own, and even if the military strongly opposes it, it can be forcibly implemented, but in terms of some standard bows and crossbows, it will be limited to reduce the time for these powerful weapons to enter the regimental training troops.

It's a pity that it's useless, the group training of 800 people has made Miaojiazhuang, which is difficult to enter, become impregnable, even if there is such a gathering, they have no possibility to enter.

Regimental training is only a key branch of the army, but don't look at who is there, Sun Ji, Xue Yu, in order to ensure the safety of the day and night, they will definitely train them as regular troops, Sun Ji is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and others have also served as the head of the profession, 800 formally trained regimental coalition army, in addition, it is equivalent to the weapons of the box army, and it is almost impossible to assassinate this point.

Even if the box army is a second-line army, the overall level of weapons is far less powerful than the forbidden army, maybe 500 forbidden troops, can beat 2000 box army, but if the box army is in the state of defending the city, the same number, or even twice as high as the box army, may not be able to defeat the forbidden army.

This is the difference between the defender and the attacker, any army, as long as it is in the help of the city, can play the greatest advantage, as long as it is the army, even if it is the weapon of the army, it is not much worse, and the main difference with the forbidden army is in the defense, defending the city, minimizing the difficulty of defense, but it is easier to play the advantage of more soldiers.

As long as these 800 regiments are trained and approved, even if it is the same as now, when the Miao family Hanzhuang gathers, if the chaos is started, it will not be successful, dozens or hundreds of militiamen, strong men, compared with the regular army, it is too far behind.

Wang Shi finally knew why Wang Yuan had such an expression, and now there is still a chance, once the group training begins to sign, even if there is no training, 800 is enough to protect Miaojiazhuang, and then, every day that passes, Miaojiazhuang's strength will expand by one point, and it will be much more difficult for them to deal with.

At this time, no matter how hard he tries, even through some secret channels, he uses his connections to get some people over, it can't affect the overall situation, and this is no longer something they can handle.

After a brief consultation, the two of them jointly decided, not only to report the news of the failure of this mission, but also to report the news of Miaojiazhuang's application for group training.

On the wax paper, there are traces constantly depicted, Wang Shi is just a temporary location set by the Miao family, it is for Zhao Xin, in addition to the ordinary reporting system, fast horse transmission, there are also flying pigeons to pass the book.

The priority of this matter has gone beyond the norm, and he naturally chose to fly the pigeon to pass the book, a pair of well-trained pigeons, with his secret letter, he took them into the wild and released them.

The pigeon flew smoothly into the air and flew towards the south, Wang Shi took a brief look around, and then returned to the city, a hidden attack, because of the defense, eliminated to the invisible, but the next challenge will be even more terrifying, because they have taken into account most of the strength shown by Miaojiazhuang, they must greatly exceed this strength, will attack.
