Seeing Taoist Buchen's ragged and bruised appearance, it is easy to suspect that he is dead. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was still smiling at Zhang Changan, the latter probably already thought that the two of them were on different sides of the sky and was going to offer him a few sticks of incense.
An old friend who had fought side by side in an extremely dangerous situation unexpectedly reunited in a foreign land, Zhang Changan was naturally delighted, and hurried forward to care for the other party's injuries.
Xu Ge waved his hands and said impatiently: "There is no need to feel sad, there is Han Yuan Dan from Xianyaofang, he can't die."
Seeing that Zhang Changan turned his head and seemed to have something to say, Xu Ge simply put down the cantaloupe in his hand, and said solemnly: "In this area of the Western Regions, many people die in various ways every moment, monks, merchants, civilians, etc. , even the old and the weak, women and children. The environment here is more dangerous than you can imagine, and it is no better than when you were deep in the Huairong Khitan military camp.
"If you want to survive here, as long as you have a breath, you must be full of energy.
"If your companion is dead, you have no time to grieve. If your companion is dying, your best choice is to abandon him and escape by yourself. If you survive by chance, then fulfill the last wish of the other party. Above all, It can be regarded as my advice from the commander of the Western Regions to you, the deputy commander."
Speaking of this, she held up a piece of melon, "You don't have much time, you have important business to do, and Buchen has just arrived, so you just happened to talk about the details, and I'll listen to the details too."
She looked seriously at the cantaloupe in her hand and sighed, muttering to herself: "If this task still requires me to take a trip, this may be the last time I will eat cantaloupe in my life. I have to eat enough to avoid the next one miss."
Only then did Zhang Chang'an notice that under Xu He's sideburns, there was a long, earthworm-like scar that spread obliquely to his collar, which was shocking. Such a wound did not cut off the neck, and it was a great fortune to survive.
Liu Mang moved a stool to Zhang Chang'an, and he stuffed it behind his butt with his backhand, and sat beside Buchen to listen to the other party's explanation of the important task.
He was also very curious about how the Taoist Taoist of Quanzhen Temple appeared in Tsing Yi Yamen, and he and Xu Ge seemed to be very indifferent when getting along.
"The situation in the Western Regions is indeed as Commander Xu said, it is more complicated than when we were in Huairong."
Buchen leaned on the rattan chair and turned his head to look at Zhang Changan. He was seriously injured. Although his life was saved, his breath was still a little weak. Then it came to the point where it was almost life and death, the situation was like cooking oil in a raging fire, and the sky was already boiling everywhere... …”
Through Buchen's narration and the documents he had read before, Zhang Chang'an soon had a more comprehensive and clear understanding of the open and secret struggles between the Great Tang, the Great Food, and the Black Khanate in the Western Regions.
In short, since Datang decided to restore the territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was destined to collide head-on with the Black Khanate, as well as the Crescent Sect and Dashi behind the Black Khanate.
Over the years, in order to prepare for the final frontal battle, Quanzhen Temple, Wukong Shimen and Tsingyi Yamen have already competed with the New Moon Sect in various aspects.
From this point of view, the war has already begun.
Quanzhen Temple, Wukong Shimen, and Tsingyi Yamen, the three hilltops that were not under each other before and went their own way, faced more powerful opponents and a wider world. In the Western Regions, a joint government office has already been established to build a unified command system.
In order to conceal its identity, the name of this official office is Xiyu Commercial Bank.
There are several aspects of what the Western Regions Commercial Bank does.
First, collect the classics of the New Moon Sect, find loopholes, aim at rebuttals, and write them into documents. This matter is mainly done by the masters of Quanzhen Temple and Wukong Shimen, and the documents have now been widely disseminated in the Western Regions.
The effect of this is very obvious. Over the years, the New Moon Sect has been unable to expand to other places outside the Black Khanate.
After these documents were introduced to the Black Khanate and the cannibals, they also caused a lot of influence. Although they did not change the overall situation—after all, the New Moon Sect was severely suppressed, the people still doubted it to some extent.
This incident is actually destroying the ruling foundation of the Crescent Sect and planting doubts in the hearts of the people
Seed.
After all, things like sect classics, apart from knowledge and principles, are deceptive in guiding believers to worship. It is actually very easy to find loopholes.
But for it to really play a huge role, the Tang army's frontal offensive must go smoothly, so as to stimulate the public. After the Tang army captures the Black Khanate and the Dashi, the foundation of the Crescent Sect's rule will soon collapse, and there will be no extreme wars initiated by the people.
Second, after the monks in the business changed their appearances—this is very important—they infiltrated into the Black Khanate and Dashi under various disguises such as merchants and refugees, and settled down, using gold and silver wealth and other means to corrupt the military and political officials of the two countries. Get all kinds of information.
At the beginning of this task, monks usually make friends with officials and dignitaries under the guise of "making it easier to do business". After both parties are familiar with each other, they bribe the other party to make it easier for them to do business.
This part is a normal situation of government-business collusion, as long as the target is well selected, it can be easily achieved.
Then it is to lure them with huge profits and find all kinds of excuses to let them disclose military and politically unimportant information, such as who the generals in the garrison are, what their preferences are, the number of troops, and so on.
Once the other party reveals this, the monks of the Western Regions Trading Firm will find an opportunity to reveal their identity. In this way, the other party is colluding with the Tang Dynasty and betraying the country's military and political secrets. In the situation where the two sides are about to fight, one can imagine the seriousness of the crime.
This handle falls into the hands of the Western Regions Commercial Bank. If the other party does not let it be manipulated, they will threaten the other party to make the situation public. With both hard and soft tactics, many black Khanates and big food officials have become "spies" under the control of the Western Regions Commercial Bank.
With the convenience provided by these "spies", the monks of the western region trading houses have obtained a lot of information on the geography of mountains and rivers and the details of the monks' army over the years.
The monks also used the name of "merchants" to travel around, constantly expanding the number of "spies" and expanding their levels. Nowadays, the trading firm has formed many powerful forces in the Black Khanate and Dashi.
Now if the Tang army attacks Shule City, it doesn't take much effort at all.
In the territory of the Black Khanate, in addition to the maps collected and drawn by the Western Regions merchants, there will be no shortage of guides. The Tang army will know in advance the mobilization of many soldiers and horses and the strength of the army, so they can respond calmly and strike accurately.
Of course, in the process of implementing this matter, it was actually full of various thrilling battles of wits and courage. Some succeeded and some failed. Some "spies" forces were expanding, and some "spies" forces were destroyed.
There are also many powerful characters in the big cannibal and the New Moon Sect.
The Western Regions Commercial Bank has achieved remarkable results in these years, but the price it paid was not small. Many people lost their lives, and the investment of wealth was countless.
Third, covertly contact and covertly support forces that oppose those in power. Especially the Turks. Before Mu Lun made his debut, the power of Dashi was actually controlled by the Turks, and Mu Lun turned the tide and rejuvenated the country.
During this process, many Turkic dignitaries were killed and suppressed, lost their existing interests, and planted the seeds of hatred. Although Mullen absorbed a large part of the Turkic forces and let them use them for his own use, many forces were not in a good position.
After all, once the emperor and the courtiers, if Mullen wants to control the country, he must reuse his team, and the cake is so big, if newcomers come in, some old people will quit.
For these Turkic people, the war with the Tang Dynasty and the hatred for the Tang people are just distant and vague memories, which have no impact on their current lives. Mu Lun is the enemy who is taking away their jobs right now. As long as they can get back their own wealth, power and women, it is of course no problem to cooperate with Datang.
This action was very covert, and the Turkic forces were also secretly accumulating strength, cultivating monks, and accumulating magic weapons and weapons, without showing it to others. Just wait for the war to break out, and then make a sudden move when necessary, and deal a heavy blow to the big food dignitaries and Mullen.
The investment of the Western Region Commercial Bank in this part is also astronomical. That is to say, Datang is now a prosperous national power. After expanding its territory, it has obtained huge resources, especially the wealth from the Americas.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
Otherwise, the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce will also
There's really no way to make such an action work forcefully.
Under these three major directions, there are many small branches.
Taoist Buchen's status in the Quanzhen Temple has been greatly improved after the Khitan War, and after arriving in the Western Regions, he has made great contributions. He had been operating in the Black Khanate before, and he was still the main leader. He successfully "instigated rebellion" against a dignitary who was depressed and lost a lot of power by his political opponents because of a small mistake—Yeluoge Yilu.
Although the opponent only had more than ten thousand troops, but because of his extraordinary status and extensive contacts, Buchen quickly developed a strong "spies" force after contacting him, and mastered a lot of military and political information in the eastern part of the Black Khanate.
And because of the convenience provided by the other party, the caravan under his command has achieved great development, earned a lot of wealth, and in turn contributed a large share to the other party. This makes the relationship between the two parties more stable.
Originally, the situation was good, but Buchen had already planned to persuade the other party that when the Tang army came, he would be "promoted into the rank" after the war in response to the Tang army's attack. After several trials, the feedback he got was good.
But at this moment, a group of strange monks from the New Moon Sect suddenly came and began to thoroughly investigate the officials and various forces in the Black Khanate.
After they discovered Buchen and the others, they immediately took them back for interrogation on trumped-up charges. Buchen and the others were forced to fight each other, but because of the haste, it took a lot of time to destroy all kinds of documents and materials, resulting in casualties Tragic, only a few people escaped back.
"Our contacts with Ye Luo are very secretive. Whether it's direct contact or wealth exchanges, there are a few Black Khanate merchants in between. Although we suffered heavy losses this time, fortunately all the documents and materials have been destroyed. Only monks The loss of strength, Ye Luo has been preserved across this line."
Buchen took a breath for a while.
He continued: "But Ye Luoge must be shocked three times a day now. We need to send someone to stabilize him. If his line can be preserved, and the army will attack the Black Khanate in the future, it will be equivalent to having him to support him." A gap can easily open the situation."
Zhang Changan nodded and looked at Xu Ge who finally stopped eating cantaloupe and hiccupped at the table, "So I entered the Black Khanate to replace Buchen and reconnect the Yeluoge line, and To respond when the army arrives?"
This task is very heavy, and the credit is very great, it is worth coming to the Western Regions.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ge shook his head, hiccupped and said: "This is only a part, not the most important part, hiccup... Your main task is to communicate with those newcomers. The monks of the Moon Sect fought against each other.
"They are not a separate team... nor are they specifically targeting Buchen. During this time, many of our strongholds, Hiccup, have suffered damage from the same type of Crescent Cult monks.
"Facts have proved that the New Moon Sect has begun a large-scale investigation and purge of 'spies' forces, and the strength and accuracy of its actions have far exceeded our previous expectations... "
"Deputy Commander Zhang, hiccup, this means that the results of our years of hard work are in danger of total collapse at the critical moment when the war is about to begin!
"So your task is to use the matter of Ye Luoge as a thread to find a breakthrough, follow the clues, follow the clues, and hiccup, deal with these New Moon Sect monks!"
Zhang Changan's face was terrified.
Obviously, Dashi reacted and began to search and deal with the Western Regions Trading Firm.
The organization of this group of Crescent Sect monks is probably no different from Tsing Yi Yamen!
If they are allowed to succeed, the previous efforts of the Western Regions Commercial Bank and the good situation they have finally formed will be in vain!
The dynasty's war against the Black Khanate and Dashi will also have many difficulties and twists and turns in its life.
Without intelligence support and internal support, the frontal army can only attack bit by bit. It is conceivable how many soldiers will die!
The arduousness and vastness of this task far exceeded Zhang Changan's expectations.
"Why, boy, are you afraid?"
At this moment, a playful and friendly voice came from outside the door.
Zhang Changan turned his head and couldn't help being overjoyed.
The one who came was Nangong No.1.
