The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 126 Intelligence Officer
With previous experience, Su Lin was not worried about the news of the Chu army's attack.

Although Dai Li said in the information, the eight thousand Chu troops are all the elite of the Chu state, and they are by no means comparable to the old, weak, sick and disabled defenders in Xuncheng.

But Dahan Town has a natural defensive barrier. After these several battles, various traps and ambushe tactics have been relatively mature, and they are not afraid of this kind of battle at all.

No matter how many people you have, in my territory, you will never come back.

"My lord, the traps and pits leading to the town have been reactivated, and the little one has also issued an order from the lord. Everyone should not go out recently."

As the Supreme Military Commander of Dahan Town, Li Jinlong is planning all the defense affairs of the village this time, and now he will give a briefing on the operation to start the war.

Su Lin nodded: "From now on, the village has entered a state of emergency martial law. If anyone violates the village regulations, he will be dealt with strictly, especially the prisoners of the Chu army in the mining village. If they make the slightest move, they will be executed on the spot."

If you want to defeat a strong bunker, you can only start from the inside.

As long as Su Lin ensures that there is no internal chaos, the Chu State will not be able to attack. The biggest uneasy factor is the Chu Army prisoners in the mining village.

"That's right, the captives of Chu State have been doing well these days. Only one who wanted to run away was caught and beheaded for public display, but I'm afraid that they will take advantage of this opportunity to mutiny." Li Jinlong worried.

"If you want to control them, you have to use a two-pronged approach. What am I keeping Liu Feng for? Send him to the mining village to assist in monitoring the prisoners of Chu. Anyway, his family is in my hands, so I'm not afraid of his rebellion."

Su Lin sneered. After such a long time, Su Lin also began to use some tricks.

People recruited by themselves, such as Li Jinlong, don't have to worry, as long as their loyalty does not decline, they will not rebel.

As for those who surrendered, they had to guard against them. If they wanted to keep them from betraying themselves, they had to keep them in fear and grasp their sore spots.

Liu Feng's family is the biggest bargaining chip to ensure that he does not rebel, and at the same time promise him various benefits, so that Liu Feng will act faithfully.

"No wonder my lord wants to keep Liu Feng, just to let him control the prisoners of the Chu army. My lord is really wise." Li Jinlong said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Okay, stop flattering, hurry up and make arrangements, see if there is anything missing, and try not to make any mistakes." Su Lin scolded with a smile.

"Here."

Li Jinlong smiled and stepped back.

Dai Li waited outside the door for a while, and when he saw Li Jinlong coming out, he nodded and greeted Li Jinlong before entering the hall.

The relationship between the two is still close, after all, they belong to the same faction.

Li Jinlong is the most powerful person in Dahan Town other than Su Lin.

And Dai Li set up the Intelligence Bureau, which also has great power, ranking among the top five in Dahan Town.

I don't know if the relationship between the two will be the same in the future.

"My lord, this is a list I made up, suitable for being absorbed into the Intelligence Bureau." Dai Li held a bamboo slip in both hands and handed it over.

Su Lin took the bamboo slips, opened the first line and saw: "Ma Di, Shi Qian, Chen Lu..." There are more than 40 people left, but they don't know each other.

"Why did you choose Wei Qi's wife? If Wei Qi found out, I'd have nothing to do with you?" Su Lin put the bamboo slips on with a smile, wondering what Dai Li thought.

Wei Qiyi's faction and Li Jinlong's faction have always been at odds with each other, and Dai Li is the number two figure in Li Jinlong's faction. What is his purpose in doing this.

Su Lin also knew that there were small groups below, and there was no way to stop this, the only way was to balance the forces of each faction and avoid any troubles.

"Miss Ma is very suitable for this job. She is suitable to be my deputy. I have also talked to Miss Ma and she agreed." Dai Li said with a cup of his hands.

"Oh?"

Su Lin was surprised at this point. Ma Di actually agreed to do an errand. You must know that this errand seems to be very powerful, but it also has many risks, such as going outside to find out information, and even assassination, instigating rebellion and other dangerous tasks.

"It seems that she is not willing to be mediocre." Su Lin said something self-consciously, and then did not continue: "Shi Qian is a good candidate. He is flexible and suitable for spying on information. It was thanks to him last time The defenders of Xuncheng are playing around in circles."

"There are also tasks of stealing and poisoning in the intelligence, so it's just right to entrust it to him." Dai Li chose Shi Qian out of this consideration.

"This Chen Lu, why did you choose him?" Su Lin was a little surprised, as Chen Lu didn't have any special skills.

Dai Li said with a bitter face: "He asked for this on his own initiative, saying that he wanted to lurk into the palace of the Chu king to find out information."

"Hiding in Chu Palace?" Su Lin frowned and thought about it, and said, "It is true that someone needs to go to Chu Palace to find out information, so that we can also grasp Chu's movements in time."

"But?" Su Lin smiled bitterly: "He asked to go, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Chen Lu is quite special. If he goes in as a eunuch, he will be able to provide a cover. I also know the relationship between him and Princess Chu Zheng Xiu, and I agreed to it out of consideration of this relationship."

Since Dai Li is the director of the Intelligence Bureau, he knows everything about the village.

Including the matter of Chen Lu and Zheng Xiu.

"Zheng Xiu is not the Yue'er from before. I don't know how Chen Lu will face it when he goes to Chu Palace?" Su Lin sighed and shook his head slightly.

Dai Li stood bowed and did not speak.

This matter has to be decided by Su Lin.

"If it's his wish, let's do it like this, and you can transfer all the people on the bamboo slips to form an intelligence bureau. I want you to train a combat-capable team in the shortest possible time. Don't let me down." " Su Lin looked at Dai Li solemnly.

Dai Li hurriedly knelt down and said with a high voice: "I will definitely live up to my lord's trust."

"In the future, the Intelligence Bureau will be my eyes, my ears, and even my hands. The priority is to mobilize money and food in the village. This battle is the first task I give you."

Su Lin has high hopes for this intelligence agency.

"Here."

Dai Li firmly cupped his hands.

State of Chu, official road in the west.

Eight thousand Chu soldiers marched, and a large area of ​​Ulala was the elite of Chu, with uniform armor and weapons, and looked majestic.

Zheng Long at the front is wearing a shiny black armor, brown leather boots on his feet, riding a horse complacently.

Mi Principle next to him was dressed in gray cloth and had a solemn expression.

"Mi Situ, it's been two hours of marching, shouldn't it be time to rest?" Zheng Long chuckled.

Mi Yuan rode on the horse, turned around to look behind, nodded, "Just follow the general's advice."

They have horses to ride, but ordinary soldiers don't have horses, and they are really tired after marching for half a day.

Mi Yuan dismounted immediately and found a place to rest.

"Cough cough."

Zheng Long didn't dismount, but coughed lightly.

The soldier next to him hurriedly knelt under the saddle and acted as a pier for dismounting.

Zheng Long's lips curled up proudly, and he stepped on the soldier's back and dismounted.

He is a domestic slave, and he used to be stepped on by his master, but now he has finally become a general, and he can enjoy the right to step on others.

I want to make up for all the grievances I suffered in the past.

Mi Yuan looked at it and shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything, after all, he still had to rely on Zheng Long this time.

"General Zheng, you will be able to reach the forest outside Nanzheng City tomorrow. When the time comes, you will first be stationed at the foot of the mountain. I will go up the mountain to persuade Miss Su to accept the recruitment." Mi Yuan didn't know why the King of Chu brought troops here, and let the stick lead the army.

"Hehe, Mi Situ, it's useless to deal with that kind of unruly people, you have to use both soft and hard tactics." Zheng Long chuckled.

Seeing that there was no place to sit on the left and right, he quickly waved to a soldier: "Come here."

The soldier ran over and said respectfully, "What orders does the general have?"

"Lie on the ground, this general needs to rest." Zheng Long said coldly.

"Uh...here."

The soldier did not dare to disobey and knelt on the ground. After all, military orders were like mountains. No matter how unreasonable the military orders were, disobeying military orders would result in beheading.

Zheng Long patted the dust off his body, sat on the soldier's back, with a proud face: "Mi Situ, what do you think?"

"I don't know why the general is both soft and hard?"

The corner of Mi Yuan's mouth twitched, he just found a rock and sat down, but Zheng Long abused his subordinates so badly, isn't he afraid of mutiny?
