Chapter 494 Formation of Shadow Guards

[PS: During the double monthly pass period, please ask for a monthly pass weakly! ! ! 】

"Since this is the case, does your company intend to move its headquarters to Shanhai City?"

Following Bai Xue's words, Ouyang Shuo stated his first purpose, straightforwardly.

"Relocate the headquarters?"

Bai Xue was surprised by Ouyang Shuo's request.

"That's right!" Ouyang Shuo nodded, "If Bai's Chamber of Commerce is willing to move its headquarters to Shanhai City, they can enjoy the same treatment as Cui's Chamber of Commerce in Shanhai City, how about it?"

Ouyang Shuo could see through at a glance what Bai Xue needed most right now. Therefore, he directly made a big bet and attracted Bai's Trading Company with generous treatment.

If Bai Xue still refuses to agree, then Ouyang Shuo can only give up as soon as possible and not make entanglements.

Seeing that a big battle was about to start, Chi You sharpened his sword eagerly.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't stay in Shanhai City for a long time. Before leaving, he had to cut through the mess quickly and arrange things related to the game update properly.

Otherwise, his advantage of rebirth would be in vain.

Indeed, the terms Ouyang Shuo offered made Bai Xue's heart flutter. If Bai's Chamber of Commerce can get the same treatment as Cui's Chamber of Commerce, there will be no obstacles to its rise in Shanhai City.

It's a pity that Bai Xue can't decide on the relocation of the headquarters.

"Your Majesty is sincere, and the little girl is very grateful. It's just that this matter is of great importance. How about asking Junhou Rong, the little girl, to ask her father for instructions before replying to Junhou?"

Ouyang Shuo nodded, Bai Xue's answer was within his expectation.

Sure enough, Bai Gui had to decide everything.

"That's natural. It's just one thing. This Marquis's promise is only limited to the year before. After the year, even if the Bai's Trading Company is willing, I'm afraid it will be powerless. Please be sure to tell your father about this."

"it is good!"

Bai Xue was puzzled, but she readily agreed. She had a premonition that her father acquiesced in her coming to Shanhai City, and had actually moved her mind to move to Shanhai City.

Therefore, this decision will not wait too long.

***********

In the southwest corner of the Southern Border Protectorate's Mansion, there is an inconspicuous side hall that doesn't even have a name. The side hall is hidden among the green mountains and green waters, secluded and rarely populated.

Even the people who come in and out walk quietly. There was no expression on everyone's face. There is nothing unusual about the entire side hall, but it makes people feel a gloomy air, shrouding the sky.

In the future, the officials of the territory will fear this place like a tiger.

Yes, this is the headquarters of Shanhaiwei.

After a period of preparation, coupled with the support of a large amount of funds, the framework of Shanhaiwei has been set up and officially started to operate.

In the four counties of the territory, tens of thousands of officials are under the supervision of Shanhaiwei.

Years ago, the Administrative Office was in the open and Shanhaiwei was in the dark. The two cooperated with each other to conduct a huge and thorough inspection. Ouyang Shuo nicknamed this operation "Operation Sharp Sword".

The sharp sword is unsheathed, and the turbidity is exhausted.

In the quiet afternoon, after seeing Bai Xue off, Ouyang Shuo took a short nap before quietly coming to this side hall. Behind him, followed by a cool young man, it was Cui Tianqi.

The training subjects of Cui Tianqi and his brothers at the special operations base have all been completed. Cui Tianqi graduated from the training base with the first result in the assessment.

When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he immediately recruited Cui Tianqi to the mansion to accept a new appointment.

After being tempered in the special operations base, Cui Tianqi became more and more silent, with a hard and cold expression, as if he should not get close to strangers.

The young swordsman back then has completely transformed into a killer.

Yes, it is a killer.

Cold, ruthless.

Tianqi's temperament is really a good candidate for a killer. Last time, he received a secret order to assassinate Su Qin, he did it neatly and smoothly, and did not disappoint Ouyang Shuo.

This time, Ouyang Shuo wanted to formally introduce Cui Tianqi to Shanhaiwei.

Shen Buhai, commander of Shanhaiwei, was already waiting at the door early. Under the guidance of Shen Buhai, the three came to a meeting place in the side hall.

Shen Buhai was not surprised to see Cui Tianqi.

As early as when Shanhaiwei was formed, Ouyang Shuo had already revealed to Shen Buhai that in the future, a special department would be set up under Shanhaiwei to be responsible for assassination operations.

This department is called Shadow Guard.

The shadow guard is also the shadow of Shanhaiwei.

Therefore, apart from the files left by the commander of Shanhaiwei, that is, Shen Buhai, the members of the Shadow Guard could not be found anywhere else.

The person in charge of the shadow guard is assigned the title of Shanhaiwei town governor, and his status is second only to the command envoy. Undoubtedly, Cui Tianqi was chosen by Ouyang Shuo to be the Governor of the Shadow Guard.

The members of the Shadow Guard mainly recruit people from the Jianghu martial arts world. They are equipped with god-armed crossbows and are responsible for assassinating secret talks of other forces in the territory, and even cross-territory pursuits.

According to Shen Buhai's reaction, there are many "rats" in Shanhai City alone.

For these spies, it is natural to use thunderous means.

In addition, the shadow guard is also responsible for assassinating the rebels in the territory. Shanhai City made a fortune from wars, and it was inevitable that remnants would be left behind.

To these people, the shadow guard is also merciless.

If the army is often dispatched to suppress it, the impact will be bad and it will easily cause panic among the local people. It's different when the shadow guards are dispatched, everything will be done without anyone noticing.

Therefore, if you say it, the Shadow Guard is a knife hidden in the darkness by Ouyang Shuo.

If it doesn't come out, it's over, and when it comes out, there will be blood.

Of course, Shadow Guards, even Shanhaiwei, and Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty are two different concepts. Shanhaiwei only has the right to investigate, as well as limited arrest and interrogation rights.

The actual arrest and interrogation are the purview of the Internal Affairs Department.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to monitor the officials, but he didn't want to create an uncontrollable monster. In the system designed by Ouyang Shuo, mutual constraints and checks and balances are everywhere.

After handing Cui Tianqi to Shen Buhai, Ouyang Shuo got up and left.

The current Cui Tianqi no longer needs him to be told every day, and he can start to be alone.

Next, Ouyang Shuo met Song Tianxiong and others in a casual manner, supervised Bing'er's studies, and after a little warmth with Song Jia, he left Shanhai City.

The whole trip was extremely rushed.

Chi You put too much pressure on Ouyang Shuo.

***********

On October 12th, Ouyang Shuo sent it to Wulong City.

On the same day, Wang Feng led the Shenwu Guards, teleported from Zhenhai City to Wulong City, and joined Ouyang Shuo. Before Wang Feng led his troops to leave, the Zhenhai City Guard Division was already in place.

Afterwards, Ouyang Shuo did not stay in Wulong City, but led his troops directly to the front line. Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo completely destroyed the teleportation array in Wulong City.

This teleportation array has completed its mission and cannot be left behind.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want any accidents to happen again.

On October 14th, Ouyang Shuo led the Shenwu Guards to Han Xin's headquarters at the border.

The headquarters selected by Han Xin is only a small county town, only 20 kilometers away from the border.

Prior to this, the Baotao Legion led by Han Xin, including the Imperial Guard Division, had already assembled here. A large amount of food and grass materials are still being transported in a steady stream.

On the border, densely packed, all are tents where the army is stationed.

Flags fluttered and spears stood everywhere.

In addition, the first division of the Longxiang Army led by Shi Wansui, and the third division of the Huben Army led by Shan Zhu, have also taken their positions on the edge of Shiwan Dashan.

Just wait for the command to give an order, and the two divisions can directly break into the hinterland of Wuzhou County.

Similarly, the 100,000 barbarian army led by Chi You has also slowly approached the border of Zhaoqing County.

The scouts of the two sides had already met in the wilderness and started a tragic confrontation. Every day at sunset, the troops who went out to investigate would drag back the bodies of several dead scouts.

Shanhai City's reconnaissance team has all received formal training at the special operations base.

Even so, there were still casualties.

It can be seen from this that Chi You's army is really not an easy person.

The flames of war have been ignited.

The real war is about to start.

For this campaign, Shanhai City mobilized a total of eight divisions, plus Shenwuwei, a total of more than 110,000 troops. This is the first time that the army dispatched by Shanhai City is larger than the enemy army.

Even on the frontal battlefield, Shanhai City deployed more than 86,000 troops. Compared with the 100,000 troops led by Chi You, the difference is less than 15,000.

Even so, for Shanhai City, this battle is still an unprecedented tough battle. It can be predicted that the battle of Wuzhou County will be more difficult than the battle of Zhaoqing.

Not for anything else, just because Shanhai City's opponent this time is the demon god Chi You, and the army of mountain barbarians under his tent.

Although the Military Intelligence Department was unable to enter Chiyou City, it can still be basically concluded after long-term investigations on the periphery. The 100,000 mountain barbarians are all elite troops and well-equipped.

Especially the news brought back by the scout team in the past few days has been further confirmed.

Chi You has been running Wuzhou County for a full year and a half, and the entire Wuzhou County has been run by him like an iron bucket, with a profound foundation.

Mountain barbarians are by no means real barbarians.

It is not without reason that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not dare to easily start a war with Chi You City.

Ouyang Shuo knew better than anyone else how powerful the Shanman army was. Not to mention anything else, the Shanman heavy infantry brigade led by Elai, on the battlefield, was never a nightmare for the enemy.

But this time, Shanhai City had to face an army of 100,000 mountain barbarians.

Thinking about it, it's shocking.

On the contrary, apart from the first division, the Leopard Tao Corps under Han Xin's command, the remaining four divisions were all newly formed, and they were thrown into such a tough battle.

What the future holds is really unpredictable.

That's why Ouyang Shuo wanted to lead the Shenwu Guard and Imperial Guard Division to sit in the town himself. At the critical moment, we have to rely on the trump card troops to show their power.

Ouyang Shuo would not believe that Chi You would not have a trump card.

Different from the previous battles, the battle of Wuzhou County was destined to be a battle in the wilderness.

Shanhai City is the defender, but Ouyang Shuo can't tolerate Chi You's army crossing the border, if there is no danger to defend. Chi Youcheng is the active attacker, and with Chi You's personality, he disdains defense even more.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides come up, a large-scale battle will start in the wilderness.

The dark clouds of war covered the entire sky, depressing and suffocating people.
