C320 transfer of troops and horses
"Sigh, I've underestimated the people from the Surveillance Council. I never thought that they would be so sharp!" Xiahou Junyu was startled for a while, and said while shaking his head and sighing bitterly. In his heart, it was as if his heart had been overturned, filled with contradictions and hesitation.
"Eldest nephew can't say it like that either. In the future, your subordinates will be able to produce many capable people. Isn't that a good thing?" Fourth Uncle comforted his nephew.
"Haha, what Fourth Uncle said makes sense!" As long as I successfully control the Surveillance Council, then these experts will all belong to me! "Humph, that surnamed Zhao and that surnamed Zhai, I want to let them know what happens when they offend me!" Xiahou Junyu laughed heartily and his heart was a little more at ease. Although he did not get any information, at the very least, he had gained a bit more understanding of the Surveillance Council's strength level. And this understanding, had made him even more yearning and expectation for the position of President of the Council.
"Yuyu, ah, although I haven't obtained any information related to the Surveillance Council, I have still obtained some!" Fourth uncle said to his nephew with a smile.
"Oh? What did Fourth Uncle gain? Tell it to your nephew! " Xiahou Junyu immediately became spirited, and asked again and again.
"It is quite strange, when our people were retreating, we discovered an army along the way. It was around 50,000 people, well-equipped, well-trained, and definitely an elite division. As they were rushing to march, they did not send too many scouts, and as a result, the spies sent by their families found out! " Fourth Uncle did not put on airs, nor did he sell anything. Instead, he went straight to the main topic at hand as he slowly spoke.
"Do you know the origins of these people? Is he also a member of the Surveillance Council? "Are they reinforcements?" Xiahou Junyu frowned as he asked, with so many people heading north, what were they trying to do? And it was an urgent march, which meant that the troops were under orders. However, at this stage, even the border areas were not affected by the war, so what did it mean for a well-equipped elite force to appear in the heart of the empire? Could it be that there was some sort of unforeseen event?
"They are not Surveillance Council's troops, and don't know if they are supporting us at the moment. Judging from the flags this troop is sending, they should be the subordinates of Situ Qingyun's Northern Army, and they have coincidentally arrived and stationed at the place north of Fengyang City. From the looks of it, it should be this troop that left the Fengyang City and headed north! And most likely, the one who will be leading will be Situ Qingyun himself! " Fourth Uncle continued to speak, and at the same time, based on the information he had recently gathered, he analyzed each and every one of them.
"Shouldn't their troops go south to the capital? This year's Imperial Capital Tournament is about to take place, so how could they dare to move their troops around without permission? " Xiahou Junyu asked in confusion. He knew more about the Empire than his peers. He was more knowledgeable about the Empire's rules and regulations.
"This also makes me feel weird, and as far as I know, this troop should not have entered the Fengyang City before suddenly changing directions to Feng Yang's side, and the moment they arrived they settled the conflict between the Sword League and the Sword League, I felt that something was strange! It might seem like a coincidence, but it might not really be! " The fourth uncle frowned and continued to speak with a puzzled expression.
"Then what does fourth uncle see?" Seeing Fourth Uncle say that, Xiahou Junyu frowned and asked curiously.
"I can't tell. Although everything happened in a weird way, I can't find any flaws in it. Everything was natural and coherent. Either the person who designed all these things was someone with a demonic intelligence, or these things are such coincidences!" Which do you believe more? " Fourth Uncle shook his head and sighed.
Ever since the day at Fengyang City when they were fighting, the chaos in the city had been going on without end, and it was getting more and more violent, to the point where the entire city was about to die, but suddenly, there was a change in the way things went, and everything returned to normal. Taking one out from one of these things was nothing, but when these things were put together, it was worth thinking about deeply.
However, the most important thing was that no matter how one looked at it, these things seemed to be very natural and coherent, as if following the flow, one would not be able to see any traces of artificial carving, nor would one be able to find the biggest beneficiary of this series of events. Thus, at the moment, anyone who knew of this matter could only stop in their tracks and had no basis to question it.
"Hmph, I don't believe that there are people in this world who are more intelligent than me. I think this matter is definitely not man-made, so Fourth Uncle must be worrying too much!" Furthermore, I have also been aware of these matters in the past few days. There are no flaws in any of these matters, and it just happens to be a coincidence. " Xiahou Junyu scoffed. In his view of the world, everyone in the world wasn't even worthy enough to be his shoes. How could someone surpass him? As of now, all those who had surpassed him had already been killed, and the only ones who could surpass him were none other than those who had no thesis knowledge or martial arts skills.
"I also hope that there's no mastermind behind all of this, if not ?" The fourth uncle spoke with a serious face and worry that could not be concealed in his voice.
"Otherwise what?" Xiahou Junyu asked.
"Otherwise, everything that we have done would have long been within the expectations of others! Don't even mention getting married for someone else, you don't even know it! " Fourth Uncle let out a heavy sigh and told them the worst he could do.
"Fourth Uncle is definitely overthinking things. These things are impossible, so you shouldn't think too much about these unrelated things. If according to Fourth Uncle's judgement, this group of troops is the elite division led by Situ Qingyun, then why did they choose Feng Yang and go north? " Xiahou Junyu was agitated by Fourth Uncle's words and his heart suddenly sank. He really didn't like this feeling, so he forcefully threw this extremely low possibility to the back of his mind and changed the topic.
Fourth Uncle took a long look at his nephew. Although he still looked happy on the surface, he couldn't help but lower his overall evaluation of his nephew. He also added the words' arrogant ',' arrogant ',' arrogant 'and' narrow-minded 'to his nephew's evaluation.
Since his nephew wanted to change the topic, Fourth Uncle did not force him. After all, he had already said those words, and if one day his nephew suffered, it would have nothing to do with him. After all, he was not the one who suffered in the end!
Fourth Uncle said confidently, "If changing directions to Fengyang can be explained as receiving an order to come here, then that is reasonable. However, there is no reason for me to lead troops north. What is to the north?" They can't just go back to the north, right? "
"If something is abnormal, then there must be demons. Does fourth uncle know which way they went north?" Xiahou Junyu pondered for a while, then suddenly asked.
"When our people were retreating from Surveillance Council's side, we discovered this troop along the way. Looking at the direction of the troop, they are probably rushing towards the Surveillance Council's camp!" Fourth Uncle immediately replied.
From what I know, the army that Surveillance Council is sending to the north this time is at least tens of thousands of people, but what is Situ Qingyun's army going to the north for? To steal credit? Surveillance Council's group might not even agree! If they were to help, it would be even more unrealistic, their actions are just icing on the cake, and it would not be on the cake. Furthermore, it is impossible for the people of the Surveillance Council to accept his kindness! " Xiahou Junyu explained in detail with furrowed brows.
After all, it was not the first time he had interacted with the Surveillance Council's group of people who had high expectations for him. Although it was always with the Surveillance Council's assistance and this was the only time he was truly working with the higher ups of the Surveillance Council, this was the only time that he remembered it vividly, and it was hard to forget it, and it was also the only time he had a deep evaluation.
"Could it be that we overlooked something, or there is some secret that you don't know about, eldest nephew?" Fourth Uncle reminded his nephew with a hint of caution.
"Have you forgotten that I don't dare to say? But if it's hidden, then that's not necessarily true. Ever since I went north, I personally attended almost all the conferences and meetings. It can be said that I know as much as the 5 directors know!" I don't think there will be any hidden secrets! " Xiahou Junyu shook his head and replied.
As for this matter, he did not hide anything from his fourth uncle. Firstly, it was the truth, and secondly, there was no mention of secrets, so it did not count for much.
"Oh right, didn't you say that there is another competitor? If that's the case ? " Fourth Uncle suddenly asked after thinking for a while.
"Absolutely not!" Xiahou Junyu replied to his fourth uncle with an unprecedented tone of certainty.
"Why are you so sure?" Fourth Uncle did not understand. He could not understand why his nephew had such a good grasp over this matter!
"There are two reasons why I am so sure. Firstly, from the looks of it, it could only be counted as a huge sum of money being smuggled over, and the north was also under the control of the Empire. What could this huge amount of money be used to transport to the north? It was just some shady business, or some secret intelligence outpost. That was it! The only thing he needed to do was to recover the huge sum of money, and there were quite a lot of people in Surveillance Council. There was no need to send Situ Qingyun's army to support them, if there was another competitor participating, he should not be stupid enough to bring this army, it would make the people in Surveillance Council very unhappy! Moreover, how would he convince Situ Qingyun to move the army? Would the Situ Family allow an outsider to do as he pleases? " Xiahou Junyu found a place to sit and explained slowly.
"Then what if this candidate is from the Situ Family?" Fourth Uncle continued to ask.
There were only two types of people that could make Situ Qingyun mobilize his army to assist him. One was people who could receive orders from the emperor, and was holding onto a Tiger Tally or a military medallion; the second was people who were direct descendants of the Situ Family, so it was absolutely impossible.
At this very moment, could someone bring His Majesty's Tiger Tally or the military deployment token to this place? It was obviously impossible. There was no war here, and no rebellion. How could the imperial government show such a thing to a garrison?
Then there can only be one answer, and that is for the direct descendants of the Situ Family!
