Li Jiuyuan could understand the importance of their group. Qin Che had Wu Ming and the others appear to protect them so that the Northern Lands would not interrupt their diplomatic operations. This would benefit the front-line battlefield and prevent the Northern Lands from taking advantage of any openings.
They have informants all over the place.
I recently heard that the Northern Expeditionary Army discovered a company in the eastern region that was stealing intelligence from local high-ranking officials and transmitting it to the north via encrypted telegrams.
Meanwhile, the Northern Army learned of the military deployment in that area and won a series of victories on the battlefield.
They suffered heavy losses.
There is another city where the leader has been turned by the North and is secretly supplying intelligence to the oasis and providing supplies to the enemy.
His entire family was wiped out after the intelligence department discovered it.
Of course, it was because his entire family had participated in this betrayal that the intelligence department contacted the military to take action and exterminate his entire clan.
This demonstrates that intelligence warfare also plays a significant role on the battlefield.
After being taken back to his room, Li Jiuyuan's injuries had fully healed.
But his own blood was still on his palms, already congealed.
Li Jiuyuan summoned Wu Ming and the others and sat on the sofa: "We can't stay in Fengbao any longer. We need to leave, but not everyone. Team Leader Wei, you stay here with the intelligence team and thoroughly investigate whether there are any spies from the North within Fengbao. Don't report to anyone. Once you find out, just kill them."
Wei Tuozhi nodded and accepted the order.
"I will have Team Leader Zhou assist you."
Wei Tuozhi shook his head and said, "No need. Your safety is the most important. The two combat defense teams cannot stay behind; they must go with you."
Li Jiuyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but you all need to be even more careful."
“Fengbao is the area where our command post is located. Although they can’t infiltrate the military, they can infiltrate the core of Ding Wudao’s regime. This can be seen from today’s assassination. They have more than one move in the upper echelons. Perhaps a group of high-ranking officials have already secretly colluded with the North. You need to find out the truth. If you encounter a big fish, don’t act rashly. First, report to the military and let Chen Da handle it.”
Wei Tuozhi: "Chen Da is currently fighting on the front lines, which is very inconvenient."
Li Jiuyuan laughed and said, "He's not stupid. The Spring Soldiers are Qin Gong's direct subordinates. Chen Da can't take them all. You can tell the Spring Soldiers garrison at Fengbao, and they will temporarily assist you. But the condition is that you have this..."
He handed Wei Tuozhi a warrant.
Wei Tuozhi immediately recognized that this warrant allowed him to temporarily control the garrison at Wind Fortress; it was a high-ranking warrant.
He was surprised.
Wu Ming, who was standing to the side, said calmly, "This should have been given to Commander Li by Duke Qin before the departure."
Li Jiuyuan laughed and said, "That's right. Duke Qin secretly granted me the power to make decisions on the spot. You can allocate the garrison, but note that this order cannot control the armored legion."
"I see."
Wei Tuozhi accepted the order.
This warrant should only be something possessed by the direct descendants of the Duke of Qin.
The military units, western garrison, and southern garrison could not be deployed.
However, for Wei Tuozhi, having the authority to deploy the Spring Soldiers would make his investigation in Fengbao more convenient.
“The intelligence department is severely understaffed. I told the military about this a long time ago, but they don’t seem to have taken my words to heart,” Li Jiuyuan sighed.
Wu Ming said, "General Li, Jiang Chen is quite capable; otherwise, Duke Qin wouldn't have kept him in the cabinet."
"Yes, but he's not one of us after all. This person is from Hu Jinglin's hometown, and belongs to Sha Qingsui's faction."
Everyone fell silent.
Li Jiuyuan stood up and said, "Alright, the meeting is over. You can all go back and rest. We'll set off for the bunker in two days!"
After saying that, he patted Wei Tuozhi on the shoulder: "The intelligence investigation of Fengbao is entrusted to you. If possible, you can serve as the link between the command area and the intelligence department. Most of the intelligence personnel are on the front line, and most of them have even been sent to the North. We can't be without our own eyes and ears. You can act as our eyes and ears. With this order, the military will cooperate with you."
"yes!"
...
"So this is the Oasis Alliance?"
"Yes, do you see that lake? That's Emerald Lake, known as the desert treasure."
"How did Song Ruhui manage to take over such a good place?"
The two stood at the edge of the Gobi Desert. One step further ahead lay green grasslands, white clouds and blue sky overhead, bright sunshine, and a distant lake shimmering with golden light, a truly beautiful sight.
The mountains are layered upon each other.
Li Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "They acted early, so it's first come, first served."
"Wall One is really stupid; they should have set up their headquarters here."
Li Xin stroked his chin and said, "I read in history books that the walls correspond to the western radiation zone, where the monsters are very powerful. The ancient sages built their headquarters there to guard the country's gate and protect the citizens behind them."
"That's bullshit."
Qin Che rolled his eyes.
He has no doubt that the so-called 'sages' had a spirit of sacrifice.
But that kind of spirit is far, far away from this wasteland.
The main reason, Qin Che believed, was that humans in the post-wasteland era couldn't build those walls, and they treated those high walls as a kind of faith; that was all.
well,
Cults are harmful...
"Let's get in first and see what happens."
"There are plenty of adventurers from the pit area who came in from the northern border. Only the two of us came from the western border. I think we should be more discreet and not let anyone find out."
Qin Che glanced at him: "Are you stupid? The intelligence department has people here to help us. They can provide us with intelligence support. Do you really think we came empty-handed?"
Li Xin said, "Oh, so you didn't come here to wreak havoc?"
"Um...we can talk about it in a few days. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."
Li Xin scoffed: "These words make a lot of sense. Which book are you reading?"
"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Li Xin nudged him: "You have a grandson? No way, are you actually a hundred-year-old man?"
Qin Che: ……
After crossing the Gobi Desert and stepping onto the grassland, Qin Che finally felt the vitality of life.
Even the air here is fresh.
It's much better than being in the desert.
No wonder it became the commercial and political center of the North.
Song Ruhui, the most powerful warlord in the north, certainly found great enjoyment here.
The thought of him living such a comfortable life really made Qin Che a little annoyed...
