There are several traditional courtyard houses around a reinforced concrete structure under the jurisdiction of the Xuanjun shogunate, but anyone who knows how to see them will know that the walls of these courtyards have also been smoothed out with cement, and perhaps the masonry structure that has emerged in the Xuanjun area in recent years is still inside.
From the outside, it seems that these courtyards are quiet, as if there are no people, but if you enter the inside, you can find the presence of a large number of armed men.
The officers and men of the 500 men of the Tiger Battalion and the four dissatisfied Ranger companies had just eaten individual rations and were carefully maintaining their weapons and equipment.
In one of the rooms, Chen Xin sat on a chair, closed doors and windows, and did not light the lamp, making the room very dim, only the cigarettes that flickered from time to time reflected Chen Xin's gloomy face.
Chen Xin was originally a non-smoker, and he had never smoked in his later life, even if he traveled to this time and space for more than 5 years, he never changed.
However, today, Chen Xin was troubled by a depressed mood, so he asked for an unprecedented pack of old-fashioned cigarettes made by the cigarette factory under the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Xuanjun Army from his subordinate officers, without a filter mouthpiece, and smoked it alone.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and after getting permission, the director of the Xuanjun Confidential Division, Lao Zheng, who was born in Huben, pushed the door and walked in, closed the door casually, and said "General" softly and stood still at the table.
After snuffing out the cigarette roll, Chen Xin laughed at himself, "This cigarette is really hard to smoke, and it is incredible that it can still be sold out." β
The time spent together was saved, and Lao Zheng also knew that Chen Xin smoked for the first time, not really because the cigarette was not good for smoking, but just to ease the atmosphere, and he didn't answer, waiting for the following.
"How's the secrecy of the war going? Do you need me to slow down the troops behind? β
"General rest assured, everything is under control, there is no need to add more variables, in the last month, I just released that you were surrounded by enemy troops near the mouth of the Daning River, but there is one point, when we originally released the news, it was said that the real number of enemy troops was 120,000, but it became 200,000 when it was rumored."
"It's normal to spread false rumors and change the news, as long as you don't startle the snake, don't pay attention to these details."
"Yes."
"So, has the specific time of the enemy's actions been determined?"
"Not yet, but we've put it under tight control, and I'm sure there's news coming back soon."
"Hmm"
There was no sound for a long time, Lao Zheng understood Chen Xin's mood at this time, no matter which ruler knew that there was a traitor under him, he would not be in a good mood.
After Chen Xin had finished the war, when he sent his troops back to defense, except for the Fifth Mixed Brigade and the Sixth Mixed Brigade, which had returned to the southern administrative region of Korea and maintained deterrence against the separatist forces in various parts of Korea, they had returned quickly by boat, and all the other units had been arranged to take the land route, and various tasks such as suppressing bandits, patrolling, and surveying had been arranged, thus deliberately slowing down their march.
At the same time, Chen Wei also suppressed the report paperwork, and with his most trusted team, with the assistance of the Confidential Division, bypassed all the personnel, and quietly came to this mint to hide.
Everything is because of the mole.
More than half a year ago, when An Buyang launched a coup d'Γ©tat, and Sukh Saha gathered 120,000 troops to announce a crusade against Chen Xin, Chen Xin was planted in Houjin, a tiger born in Houjin, and had become a middle-level person, a spy codenamed "Thumbtack", and quietly sent a piece of information.
The general content of the intelligence is that Hou Jin, who has always known nothing about the Xuan Army, suddenly mastered some of the secrets within the Xuan Army, and from this point, the "pushpin" judged that Hou Jin had successfully bribed the traitors within the Xuan Army.
At that time, the Xuan army had already drawn up a battle plan, preparing to take advantage of the enemy's advantage of not knowing the specific situation of their own side, and let Sukh Saha's 120,000 troops in.
Relying on the large number of fortresses established in the northern part of the Korean region, the number of enemy troops was consumed, and at the same time, cavalry units were sent to cut off the enemy's logistical supply, and when the enemy army was tired and unable to fight again, it launched a counterattack to destroy the enemy army.
But this piece of information disrupted all the arrangements of the Xuan army.
After receiving the information, Chen Xin attached great importance to it, and asked the spies lurking in Houjin to try their best to find out about the situation of the traitors on the premise of preserving themselves, and at the same time send troops to delay the enemy's collection of grain and grass, so as to buy time for his own intelligence agents to listen to the information.
At the same time, Chen Xin determined his own name for the traitor, which was called "pest", and ordered Lao Zheng to set up an "anti-pest team" composed of all tigers, which was specifically responsible for investigating the traitors within the Xuan army.
However, it is a pity that in Houjin, Huang Taiji seems to attach great importance to the "pests" or "pests" within the Xuan Army, and completely handed over the matter of contact to the eldest son of the traitor Li Yongfang, who had long died in the hands of Chen Xin, and no one else was allowed to interfere.
The informants did not hear any specific information other than to confirm that there were really traitors within the Xuan army. That is, I don't know the number of moles, and I don't know which department the moles belong to, and I don't even know whether they are in the army or in the civil affairs.
Within the Xuan Army, there has not been the slightest progress in the investigation, the number of tiger ben is too small, and the military counterparts and personnel of the civil affairs department of the Xuan Army are too many, and the investigation one by one is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the results can not be produced in a short time.
At this time, Sukh Saha's army was dispatched, and in this case, the strategy of the Xuan army against the enemy had to be changed accordingly.
When no one knows which department of the Xuan Army the traitor is hiding in and how many internal secrets of the Xuan Army are known, it is too risky to put the enemy army into the hinterland.
In the unlikely event that the traitors lead Sukh Saha's team to concentrate on attacking the locations of the key departments of the Xuan army after the enemy army enters the hinterland, or directly attack the Xuan army's ordnance factory and other important places, then the matter will be in trouble.
At that time, perhaps the Xuan army will not only suffer huge losses, but may also lose this important industrial base in northern Korea.
Under the pressure of the traitors, Chen Xin made the decision to revise the plan of action, risking sending troops to the non-occupied areas to build temporary fortresses, and at the same time, in order to buy time for the Xuan army's large army to change its deployment, he also personally went to the front line as bait to attract the attention of the enemy.
In order to minimize the harm of the traitors, a comprehensive martial law was imposed on the territory of the Xuanjun, and no one was allowed to immediately locate 5 kilometers without the approval of the head of the department, hall, and general factory.
The Coast Guard also dispatched the whole army to begin to blockade the sea, and the ships trading on the territory of the Xuan Army must be followed by the Coast Guard ships when they move in the waters controlled by the Xuan Army, and all the personnel on board are not allowed to leave the port area except for unloading.
The reconnaissance unit cordoned off all the mountain roads, carefully checked all the people who passed through, and if anyone was found to be trying to go to enemy-occupied areas, they were all detained and examined.
In this state of total martial law, until the Xuan army finished this war, according to the information obtained by the intelligence agents lurking in Houjin, the traitors failed to do anything harmful to the Xuan army.
