The words Li Zexuan sent to Tie Dan before were not purely to comfort Tie Dan. Although he had been in the military camp recently, he had always been paying attention to the situation in Taiyuan City, and he had been in Taiyuan City in advance. He laid down a back-up plan to prevent the teachers and students of the academy from encountering any unexpected events!
The thirty-two teachers and students who went north to build the telegraph relay station this time were all elites from Yanhuang Academy. They were engineering talents trained by Li Zexuan with great effort. He cared about the safety of Li Tai, Tiedan and others more than anyone else. , even more concerned than Li Er!
Because Li Er may only care about Li Tai's safety, but Li Zexuan cares about all the teachers and students of the academy who are going north!
Although he could not accompany Li Tai and the others to the north due to military affairs, how could he safely let the people from the academy go to Taiyuan like this? Although the Forbidden Army was escorting them all the way, it was easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. The Forbidden Army could block the open guns, but the Forbidden Army was probably not very good at dealing with covert sneak attacks!
When Li Zexuan entered the camp, it was the day when all the teachers from the academy left for the north. In the first few days, he had been feeling uneasy. Feeling that something might happen to Li Tai and his party, he used the telegraph to send a secret letter to Yunshan. According to the telegram, on the same day, a man rode down from Yunshan Mountain and went straight to Taiyuan!
In terms of time, that person left earlier than Li Junxian, so he should have arrived in Taiyuan before Li Junxian!
Although the strength of one person is ultimately inferior to that of an army, but now Li Tai has been captured by Turkic spies, if he wants to rescue him from the Turkic spies, it will definitely not work with just a large number of people, as Li Junxian said According to the analysis, we can only use skill and not brute force at this time. Therefore, the person on Yunshan who was sent to Taiyuan by Li Zexuan may not have a chance to save Li Tai by himself!
Not to mention, even Li Zexuan would be wary of some of that person's methods. He was by no means an easy person!
"Captain Sun, why did you call everyone here in the middle of the night?"
In a tent near the west of the Xuanjia Army camp, there were about twenty powerful sergeants crowded at this time, making the small tent instantly become extremely crowded. In front of everyone, stood a The tall, middle-aged general looked like he was Sun Tao, the captain of the Yiziying camp! At this time, a sergeant was a little impatient and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes! Old Sun, if you don't let everyone sleep at this late hour, if everyone wakes up late tomorrow morning, General Qiu will blame him. Who can afford it?"
"That's right! What can't we talk about during the day? Isn't there a fighting competition tomorrow? We should rest early and conserve our energy!"
As soon as the sergeant finished speaking, someone followed him and echoed him.
It’s just that everyone deliberately suppressed their voices because it was late at night. According to military regulations, except for those on night patrol, the rest of the camp officers must return to their tents and lie down before midnight. They are not allowed to move around or make loud noises to disturb others. Rest, now in the middle of the night, Sun Tao called them over, which was obviously a violation of military regulations. However, due to Sun Tao's usual majesty and the relationship between Sun Tao and Qiu Xinggong, they did not dare not to come. !
"Okay! Everyone be quiet!"
Sun Tao frowned and scolded in a low voice. Everyone immediately became quiet, and then Sun Tao continued:
"I called you here tonight just for tomorrow's fighting competition! General Qiu has an order. In tomorrow's fighting competition, the main opponent of our B-shaped battalion will be the E-shaped battalion, and we are only allowed to win, not lose!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out it's just this! You don't need to tell me, Lieutenant Sun, there's no way we'll lose to the Wuzi Camp tomorrow!"
"That's right! We are all veterans of the Xuanjia Army. We followed the Holy Master in the north and south. What battles have we not seen? How can we lose to the new recruits of the Wuzi Camp?"
"Captain Sun, if you have nothing else to do, we will go back and rest!"
Everyone was talking, and then some people wanted to leave.
Although the "veterans" make up the majority of the B-Zi Battalion and are strong, it is precisely because of this that these proud and powerful generals are difficult to manage! In terms of qualifications and abilities, the gap between Sun Tao and them is not particularly big. Not everyone in the camp obeys him. If Qiu Xinggong hadn't been suppressing him, someone would have jumped out to "rebel"!
There are more "veterans" in Camp A, and almost everyone is super strong, but Camp A does not have the same situation as Camp B, because Zhang Shigui has strong martial arts, outstanding military exploits, and can convince everyone!
"Everyone stop! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Sun Tao had a dark face and shouted angrily. The sergeants who wanted to leave the camp had to stop and heard Sun Tao continue: "General Qiu has one more thing to say. He hopes that you will compete with the people of Wuzi Camp tomorrow. , try to strike harder and make the opponent either dead or crippled. In this way, the Wuzi Camp will be greatly damaged, and in the competition two days later, they will definitely lose!"
"What? General Qiu means to let us kill him during the competition?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all froze in place. After a moment, everyone came back to their senses, and some people shook their heads and refused:
"No! No! It's just a competition. If we do something dirty and dirty behind the scenes, how can we have the dignity to stay in the Xuanjia Army in the future~?"
"That's right! With the strength of our B-shaped battalion, we can't win against the E-shaped battalion? We are playing dirty tricks behind our backs. Even if we win, we won't win with honor!"
Although these sergeants are usually a bit arrogant, this does not mean that they are all sinister villains. On the contrary, most of them are fairly upright. Sun Tao asked them to secretly kill the soldiers of Wuzi Camp. How could they agree
"Captain Sun, you asked us to kill the people of Wuzi Camp secretly tomorrow. If we accidentally injure or even kill someone, the general will definitely not let it go, and according to military law, we are likely to be executed! Zhang Kangnian and the others His head is still hanging on the camp gate, we didn’t want to end up like that!”
There were many smart people with flexible minds among the crowd. Some people thought for a moment and understood the huge risks involved, so he couldn't help but speak.
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight people immediately followed him and agreed.
Sun Tao frowned and said nothing. When everyone became quiet again, he said in a deep voice: "This is General Qiu's order. Don't you all want to disobey it~?"
