I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 606
Before coming to Liangzhou, Wei Changtian always felt that this battle was not a big problem, and even if there were any twists and turns, it would be after the official start of the war.

But who ever thought that the talent had just arrived? It should be said that the bad news arrived before the talent arrived.

Overnight, all the spies they planted in Jue Ji's coalition were found out, and fifty-five of them have died so far.

You know, it took a lot of manpower and financial resources to insert these more than one hundred spies.

If they were all exposed, then the difficulty of sending someone into the enemy army can be imagined.

Even if it can, it will definitely take a lot of time, and it is too late for the current situation.

Therefore, the originally clear situation became confusing and confusing in an instant.

After all, fighting not only depends on hard power, but also a contest between the intelligence agencies of both sides.

Without these careful operations, you don't even know where the opponent is, and you are at a disadvantage before the battle is fought.

It's like being blindfolded when two people are fighting.

If the blindfolded person is much stronger than the opponent, then it may not hurt to lose his vision, and he can still win easily.

But if the strengths of the two are almost the same, then the result of this contest can be imagined.

Therefore, the impact of this incident on Daning and Dashu is not insignificant.

"."

"Who knows the identities of these spies?"

After a moment of silence, Wei Changtian asked in a cold voice: "Does anyone have a list of all of them?"

"Chang Tian, ​​the identity of Xi Zuo is top secret."

Liang Zhen understood what Wei Changtian was suspicious of, shook his head and replied:
"And among them there are people from the Xuanjing Division, people from the Ministry of War, and people from the enemy country who were bribed by Zhan Shifu's rebellion. Only you know the detailed list of each family, and they are kept secret from each other."

"So no one knows the identities of all secret agents at the same time."

"Even if there are traitors, they will only expose part of them at most, and it will never leave everyone alone."

"So we guess it's not that someone leaked the secret, but that the enemy army used some methods that we have never thought of."

A method that has never been thought of?
Wei Changtian frowned, but didn't speak immediately.

What Liang Zhen said made sense.

These spies belong to different families, and even if there are real internal problems, they should not be exposed at the same time.

It is impossible for the heads of the Xuanjing Division, the Ministry of War, and Zhan Shifu to all rebel.

At least Wei Xianzhi would never do such a thing.

So. Is there any way to find out all the spy at once?
Could it be related to "Witchcraft"?
Wei Changtian thought for a while but didn't come up with a reason, so he stopped thinking meaninglessly.

How these spies were exposed, although this issue is important, it is not the top priority right now.

The most critical thing now is how to heal the "eyes" as soon as possible.

"Uncle Liang, have you discussed countermeasures?"

Sighing lightly, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead and said, "It's impossible for us to just stay in Liangzhou and wait for them to come over, among other things, but at least we must be able to grasp the enemy's movements."

"What are you going to do about this?"

"Chang Tian, ​​we just talked about it before you came here"

Liang Zhengeng, Han Zhao and Du Chang looked at each other, and replied seriously: "Since the spies we placed before probably can't be counted on, and it's too late to re-arrange the manpower, then we can only expand the scope of investigation."

"We are going to send a large number of scouts into Tianshan Mountain immediately, hiding and guarding everywhere along the way, and sending a message back once we find the enemy's whereabouts."

"Although it's a stupid way, it's the only way to do it right now."

"."

Sending a large number of scouts to investigate along the way is obviously more passive than the initiative of sending back information from the spy.

If the enemy army happens to pass through the area covered by the scout, that's fine.

But what if the enemy didn't pass by?

Where are the scouts going to find the whereabouts of these [-] people?

You must know that this is not a small probability event.

The Tianshan Mountains are thousands of miles long from east to west, and more than a thousand miles deep from north to south.

Such a snow-capped mountain is not only huge in size, but also has a very complicated geographical situation. Otherwise, it would not take a month for the Jueji Allied Forces to reach Liangzhou.

In this way, no matter how many scouts are sent into the mountain, the detection range will certainly not be able to cover the entire mountain range.

And once the enemy army is taking a route that has not been detected, then his side will really be blacked out.

In fact, Wei Changtian was not afraid that he would not find someone.

As long as the opponent is fighting Liangzhou, no matter which way they go, they will all end up in the same way, so it is not a big problem.

What is really worrying is the sudden change of the enemy's offensive strategy.

Although analyzed from a normal strategic point of view, Liangzhou should indeed be the first choice of the two countries.

But there must be enemy troops on his side, so the situation of Liangzhou City's heavy military defenses can't be hidden from the other party.

Therefore, what if they come to deceive the sky and cross the sea, and do not hesitate to take a big detour to attack other states and counties in the north?

If the enemy's whereabouts could be known in advance, the Daning army marching outside the Tianshan Mountains would definitely be faster than the Jueji Allied Army marching in the Tianshan Mountains. In any case, they would have time to rush to the place in advance to re-arm.

And if you don't know the enemy's whereabouts.
Thinking of the [-] troops suddenly appearing under some unsuspecting border town while he was still waiting in Liangzhou City, Wei Changtian's scalp tingled for a while.

No, no matter what, you must always keep track of the enemy's movements.

However, it is far from safe to simply send scouts into the mountains and expand the scope of investigation.

"Uncle Liang."

"Before our spies lost contact, they should have sent back the enemy's location, right?"

Suddenly, Wei Changtian raised his head, squinted his eyes and asked, "Where are they now?"

"Ok?"

Liang Zhen didn't know why Wei Changtian asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "Before midnight last night, most of the enemy troops were still in Yanmen County in Ji Kingdom."

"How far is Yanmen County from Tianshan Mountain?" Wei Changtian asked again immediately.

"this."

Liang Zhen thought for a while, and quickly gave an answer.

"If you march in a hurry, it will take about six or seven days."

"six or seven days"

Wei Changtian lowered his head: "That is to say, they will enter Tianshan Mountain in six days at the earliest?"

"Yes."

Liang Zhen nodded suspiciously, and suddenly widened his eyes as if he understood something.

"Chang Tian, ​​do you want to send someone to keep an eye on the enemy troops before they enter the mountain?"

"Correct."

Wei Changtian did not hide anything, and analyzed truthfully:
"It's just that passive investigation is not safe enough. It's better for us to be more proactive."

"Once they enter the mountain, it is difficult to track them down, so we can only keep an eye on them before they enter the mountain."

"The only thing is that our people in Jueji and the two countries have been exposed, and now we can only send people from here to drive over."

"Uncle Liang, how long will it take to cross Tianshan Mountain at the fastest speed?"

"It depends on who"

Liang Zhen swallowed his saliva: "It may take half a year for ordinary people, and almost a month for ordinary warriors. For scouts, half a month is enough."

"And if it's a third-rank master, it may only take four or five days."

"."

When Liang Zhen said "four or five days", the expressions of Han Zhao and Du Chang also changed.

All three of them understood that Wei Changtian's plan would indeed work.

The question now is who to send.

The three of Liang Zhen are all the chief generals of the first army, and they cannot leave rationally.

From this point of view, the best way is to choose a few third-rank lieutenants to go together.

but
"Row."

After pondering for a while, Wei Changtian slowly raised his head, his clothes shaking slightly.

"It's not too late. I'll make some arrangements and leave tonight."
