No wonder Wang Dong reminded him to read the user manual many times.
It would be a waste to not use such an amazing plug-in.
With Xiaomei's help, Zhang Shixun released four bird-shaped robots at once, and deployed them in the east, west, south and north directions, 500 meters away from the military camp.
The bird-shaped robot hovered in mid-air, monitoring the ground.
He lay down on the bed, crossed his legs, and stared at the surveillance images on the virtual screen with interest.
I have to say that the technology of the 33rd century is truly amazing. The images transmitted back are exceptionally clear. Even in the pitch-black night, with the help of infrared, any movement on the ground can be clearly seen.
It is winter now, the grass and trees are dry and yellow, and the fields are empty, making it easy to monitor.
Zhang Shixun stared at the virtual screen for a long time but didn't see any figure.
At the beginning, there was a sense of novelty, but as time went by, it became monotonous and boring, and gradually, I felt sleepy.
"Xiaomei, monitor the movements around the military camp. If anyone approaches within 500 meters of the camp, please wake me up."
"Yes, Master."
Zhang Shixun closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, he was woken up by Xiaomei.
"Master, someone has entered the 500-meter surveillance zone."
He hurriedly looked at the virtual screen, and saw a man squatting on the ground on the screen monitoring the south, peeking towards the military camp.
It was a cold day and late at night. Anyone peeping outside the military camp must be a spy.
Zhang Shixun didn't plan to send people to capture him now, there was a better way.
A tiny fly monitor flew out from Hei Wuchang, flew out of the military camp, and flew straight towards the man. When it flew over the man's head, it landed on his hat and then lay motionless.
Okay, now you don’t have to pay attention to him. With the fly surveillance camera, you can follow the clues and find out who is behind him.
Just as I finished dealing with this, I heard Xiaomei's prompt: "Master, someone is approaching the surveillance area from the northwest."
On the screen, a man on horseback was galloping towards this side. When he was almost at the camp gate, he reined in his horse, looked around for a while, then turned his horse's head and rode in the direction he came from.
Zhang Shixun grinned. Just now, he released another fly monitor.
Not long after this man left, another person came from the southwest, riding a mule.
He circled the military camp from a distance. Just when he was halfway around, a warhorse came out of the camp and galloped towards him.
Seeing this, the man turned around and ran away.
When Zhang Shixun saw the familiar figure on the warhorse, he recognized him immediately. This person was Han Shizhong.
The man riding the mule had not run far before he was caught up by Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong stretched out his right arm and pulled the man off the mule.
The man was yelling and seemed to be explaining to Han Shizhong.
Because the monitor was far away, I couldn't hear what he said.
Han Shizhong threw the man to the ground, jumped off his horse, and kicked the man several times.
Afterwards, Han Shizhong escorted the man towards the military camp.
"It's so lively tonight." Zhang Shixun muttered, went to bed and continued to sleep.
If there is anything, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
The next day, at daybreak, all the officers and soldiers of the First Army got up and cooked.
Zhang Shixun was wiping his face with a wet towel when Han Shizhong arrived.
"Master, we caught a spy outside the military camp last night."
Zhang Shixun wiped his face and asked casually, "Who sent you?"
"Liang Fangping, the governor."
"Who is Liang Fangping?"
"He was a eunuch in the imperial household, appointed as a military governor, commanding the army to suppress..."
Zhang Shixun interrupted him, "Eunuch, isn't that a eunuch?"
"Yes, he is a eunuch, appointed by the imperial court as an envoy to suppress bandits in Shandong, Hebei and other places."
"He's just a eunuch, what kind of war can he fight?"
"He is the emperor's eunuch. The emperor uses him to lead the troops. Don't worry."
"Damn it!" Zhang Shixun couldn't help but swear.
Han Shizhong reminded him, "Weishi is located in the capital area. Liang Fangping shouldn't have come, but he did... Military Commander, this may not be a simple matter. You must be aware of it."
Zhang Shixun sneered, "So Liang Fangping is coming for me?"
"It must be."
Zhang Shixun wrung the towel dry and put it away. "How high of an official is the Zhizhishi?"
"The position of Zhizhishi is not permanent. It is a temporary appointment, and can be large or small. A high-ranking one, such as Tong Taiwei, was once the General Manager of Xihe, Lanhuang, and Qinfeng Roads. As for Liang Fangping, his position was smaller, and he was only responsible for suppressing bandits in Shandong and Hebei."
"What does it mean that he sent spies?"
"According to this spy, Liang Fangping sent him here just to find out where we are and how many people we have."
Zhang Shixun sighed, "It seems that the court is really worried about me."
"Haha! Military Commander, don't think too much. The imperial court doesn't trust any general who leads the army. Of course, they are even more worried about you. After all, you are the Heavenly Master."
As they were talking, it was time for dinner. The messenger walked into the tent carrying a steaming small iron bucket in one hand and a large piece of flatbread in the other.
The aroma of mutton soup immediately filled the tent.
Zhang Shixun said, "Commander Han, please eat with me."
"Okay!" Han Shizhong was not polite.
The two of them each held a coarse porcelain bowl and squatted on the ground to eat.
Everything in the military camp was kept simple, there were no benches at all, and even the military commander Zhang Shixun was no exception.
Han Shizhong took a big sip of mutton soup and said, "Military Commander, you should find some personal soldiers."
Zhang Shixun said casually: "These messengers I have are all good, use them for the time being."
"When leading troops outside, the commander always needs a few trusted personal soldiers by his side. First, they are convenient to use, and second, they can protect the commander's safety."
"Do I still need someone to protect me?" Zhang Shixun picked out a piece of fat meat, looked at it, and threw it into Han Shizhong's bowl.
He doesn't like fatty meat.
Han Shizhong accepted everything and directly picked up the fat meat and put it into his mouth, "Shixun, fat meat is the best for growing strength. You should eat more while you are still full."
Zhang Shixun said, "You guys are doing all the hard work. As the commander of the army, I don't do anything. I don't need this thing to replenish my energy."
Han Shizhong shook his head and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Most of the mutton soup in the bucket went into his stomach.
"Uncle, what can I do to avoid the suspicion of the court?" There were only two of them in the tent, so Zhang Shixun called him uncle.
Han Shizhong glanced at him and lowered his voice, "Shixun, no matter what you do, the court will not be at ease."
Zhang Shixun remained silent. The Song Dynasty's national policy was to emphasize culture over military affairs, and this was too difficult to change.
This has historical roots.
After the Huang Chao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty, the country was in chaos, with warlords fighting each other and endless fighting. In the Central Plains, anyone with a military force could become a king or emperor. There were more than ten emperors in the Five Dynasties, and emperors were everywhere, as numerous as dogs on the street.
Social order has completely collapsed, etiquette and morality have collapsed, and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are no longer effective.
