Early the next morning, Xia Hongsheng had breakfast, and after leaving the house, he went straight to the spy camp.

This matter has to be kept secret, and it is absolutely impossible to leak the rumors until the real Champa rice seeds are obtained and verified. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and if it is known to many people before it is verified, then once it is verified, it is not as magical as it was said, and this huge contrast can easily lead to trouble. Therefore, it is necessary to secretly search, secretly bring back, secretly plant experiments, and wait until all are verified and successful, before it can be announced to the public.

When he came to the spy camp, Duan Zan was leading the people inside to train, Xia Hongsheng didn't bother, he sat in the camp tent and waited for a while, and said in his heart that this camp tent was really not as good as the office. When the barracks can replace the barracks in the military garrisons of the Tang Dynasty, the lives of the soldiers will be much better.

After waiting for a stick of incense, the training outside was dispersed, Duan Zan walked into the tent, and saw Xia Hongsheng standing inside, so he asked, "Brother Sheng, why did you come here early in the morning, but what is the matter?" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to Duan Zhan: "I received His Majesty's will yesterday to transfer some people to arrange an extremely important matter. It was already dark after leaving the palace yesterday, so I came here this morning. ”

"What?" Duan Zhan's eyes lit up, he brought a chair and sat next to Xia Hongsheng, leaned in and asked.

"It's very important and it has to be kept very secret. But that's what our spies can do. Xia Hongsheng said to Duan Zhan, and then made a look.

Duan Zan immediately understood, and immediately turned around and shouted. Let all the guards in the tent go out. Then he stood guard outside the tent.

"Your Majesty ordered the spy battalion to transfer a group of men. In the past, Lingnan arrived in Linyi to look for a rice seed that could be harvested three times a year. After the guards in the camp went out, Xia Hongsheng lowered his voice and whispered to Duan Zhan.

"What?!" Duan Zan stood up suddenly, stared at Xia Hongsheng in surprise, and shouted.

"Shhhh Silence! Xia Hongsheng hurriedly glanced at Duan Zhan, spoke, and sat Duan Zhan back.

Duan Zan sat back. looked at Xia Hongsheng incredulously, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Brother Sheng, isn't it a joke?" Rice that crops three times a year...... Is there such a rice? ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "That's naturally there, that's why I will send someone to find it." You go and pick the men, and two squads will do. A large number of men still had to be left to the Turks. I'm going to lay it out in detail. By the way, it is best to choose someone who has been to Lingnan to lead the team. The country of Linyi is similar to the land of Nanyue, with miasma, humid and hot climate, and many insects and snakes in the forest. If you don't have experience, you're prone to accidents. ”

Duan Zan nodded. And he hurried out of his tent, and chose men.

Xia Hongsheng waited for about a cup of tea in the tent, and Duan Zan came in with ten people.

"Meet the General!" When the spies saw Xia Hongsheng, they saluted and shouted.

"I will come here today to arrange a task for you and others at the behest of His Majesty." Xia Hongsheng said to the ten people: "Before telling you the task, Ben will explain it to you first. This mission is extremely important, and it is related to the life and death of hundreds of our Datang people, so we can only succeed and not fail! ”

When the ten spies heard Xia Hongsheng say this, their expressions immediately turned solemn, and they said, "Never disgrace your life!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

On this piece of paper is a map of the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty and Linyi Kingdom, but it is much more detailed. Xia Hongsheng redrew a picture in detail last night, which not only marked the surrounding areas such as Linyi, Zhenla, and Tianzhu, but also marked different terrains and routes, and wrote down in detail the situations that may be encountered. The tropical rainforest climate of Indochina - which, of course, is not called there today - is very dangerous for those who have no experience of living in rainforests. Of course, Xia Hongsheng has no experience of living in the rainforest, but has only watched a few episodes of the show about what can happen in the rainforest and how to deal with it. Not much to say, I still have to thank Master Pei. Of course, there is also a certain degree of performance in Bei Ye's show, and there are many things in it that ordinary people can't do. However, it doesn't matter if it's Datang Blade or those spies, is that an ordinary person?

Medicine, you also need to bring some, but you don't need too much. Because there are many things in the rainforest that can be healed. And these spies are all trained and have knowledge of tropical life, and the people who lead the team have experience in carrying out missions in Lingnan, so they should be able to cope with it.

"Come, come around." Xia Hongsheng said to everyone: "I will find five more special combat team members to join you later." However, this time the mission is dominated by you, because this is not a combat mission. ”

Ten special combat team members gathered in a circle and looked at the map that Xia Hongsheng had unfolded.

Xia Hongsheng pointed to the map and said: "This place is Linyi Country, where the environment is similar to Lingnan, extremely humid and hot, even worse than Lingnan. So be careful along the way. After arriving in the country of Linyi, the mission begins. The main task is that there is a rice seed in Linyi country, and this rice seed can be harvested three times a year in Linyi country. According to Ben's understanding, this rice seed will not be difficult to find. You have to find this seed and grow it locally to see if it can ripen in three months. This is your main task. Whatever method you use, find the seed and bring back a seed that can be grown for at least a year. ”

Hearing that rice seeds could be harvested from planting to maturity in about three months, Rao was also shocked by these well-trained spies.

"Also, if you find that kind of rice seed truthfully, you will start the second mission." Xia Hongsheng continued to say to these spies: "The area around Lin Yi Country is no less than that of the Central Plains, and rice cultivation on this land can reach three crops a year. What Your Majesty means is that you have to find out everything about the situation here, and after cleaning up the Turks, Your Majesty will make this piece of land the granary of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Yes!" Ten people shouted in unison. As die-hard members of the Tang Dynasty, when they learned that the emperor had the intention of occupying this land, their eyes were full of fanaticism at the moment.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Very good!" When the spy battalion was first created, Ben General said that when the two armies were at war, intelligence came first. Wait and get ready, and get ready to go. Gentlemen, whether the people of the Tang Dynasty can eat enough depends on this mission of the monarchs, the responsibility is heavy, and I hope to succeed! (To be continued.) )
