?After setting up the "one kill two birds with one stone", Zhao Xing immediately instructed the three high-speakers around him to write letters to Zhang Xiu, Xu Shu, Taishi Ci, Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei in his tone. He came to the study and closed the door to write secret letters to Zhao Hu.

The Shadow team members like Zhao Hu, who are the most secret, can only be in the hands of Zhao Xing and Li Jinsi, and even Li Ru and Chen Gui will not know. This is responsible for Zhao Hu and also for Shadow.

A large-scale military operation must involve personnel and troops from multiple parties, especially this operation, which must be concealed by Cao Cao from Qingzhou, Zhang Fei from Jizhou, and Gongsun Du from Liaodong. Therefore, all forces involved in it must greet the commanders of each legion and army in advance, set the time nodes for the operation, and avoid major mistakes in the process of inter-connection.

The most important thing about whether this battle can achieve the expected results is the coordination and cooperation between all parties. When the bayonet is really needed, it is not. The most wise commander should be like a symphony commander, which can fully mobilize and inspire the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of all participants.

After completing the latest layout of the Northeast, the next step is to wait for the weather to warm up to watch the wonderful performances of Zhang Xiu, Zhao Hu, Dian Wei and Zhang Yan. Especially Dian Wei, the new Flying Tiger Commander, many generals under Zhao Xing’s command can’t figure out what kind of mount he should ride and what kind of weapon he holds to catch up with Lu Fengxian, who was almost frozen in the Flying Tiger Army?

Perhaps he felt that Zhao Xing had a leisurely life before the New Year, and after the beginning of the New Year, various things followed one after another. Zhao Xing had just finalized the Northeast strategy, but in the end, mixed news was sent to the northwest.

Since Zhang Xiu formed a large-scale military dog ​​unit with the help of local Fuyu people in the northeast and played an unexpected role, Zhao Xing has become more eager to equip each army with a certain number of military dogs, so he sent several expedition teams last year to go deep into the Tang Dynasty Qiang tribe to find a dog breed called "Qiang Dog".

The Qiang tribe of the Tang Dynasty, the Qiang tribe can also be called the Tang Dynasty. It was established in 101 AD by the two Qiang peoples in the Faqiang area and the two branches of the Tang Dynasty, located in the territory of the ** Autonomous Region, with the Luoshe (now ** Lhasa). By the eighth year of Guangxi (200 AD), the Qiang Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty was just 100 years old.

The "Qiang Dog" that Zhao Xing asked several expedition teams to look for was found in later generations with a very ferocious name called Tibetan Mastiff!

Qiang Dog, born in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, is a tall, ferocious, and sagging domestic dog. It is about four feet long, with thick and hard body hair. The outer layer is not very long. The bottom hair is thick and soft as wool in cold climates, which is cold-resistant and can sleep peacefully in the snow and ice. Qiang Dogs are strong, fierce, and still wild, which makes people afraid. They protect their territory, protect food, and are good at attacking. They are strong and hostile to strangers, but they are extremely intimate to their owners. They are a good assistant to guard the house and sheep.

Although Qiang Gou is not resistant to high temperatures and is difficult to adapt to the humid and dry environment in the south, Zhao Xing’s current territory is almost all north of the Yellow River, especially the vast northern desert, which is a biting cold wind in autumn; while the dense forests of the northeast, the Sanhan Peninsula, freezing to death in winter, is not worth the life; the farthest north of the weak water (north of Heilongjiang), is even cold and cold all year round.

Therefore, Zhao Xing was not worried about the adaptability of Qiang Dogs. In his previous life, he had the honor of getting close to this tall and mighty guy. With his skills, if he didn't take a sharp weapon like a dagger, he would not be a match for the "Tibetan Mastiff". If we talk about the purity of bloodline, the Qiang Dogs, which have not been seen by the world, are naturally much better in this time and space. Zhao Xing was quite expecting to have a military dog ​​unit composed of purebred Tibetan Mastiffs.

Zhao Xing asked the expedition team to find a way to bring back a group of Qiang dogs that can be used for breeding and breeding in the Fengxuecheng area in the future. If everything goes well, within five years, the northern troops can be equipped with purebred Qiang dogs to guard patrols, arrest bandits, and shoulder many difficult tasks.

Since it was an adventure and went deep into the steep and uncivilized Tang Dynasty, Zhao Xing sent out extremely strong and capable shadow team members, and he also conducted special training to adapt to altitude sickness in the Baying Mountain area west of the West Sea (Qinghai Lake). These team members all had excellent wild survival ability, and accompanied them with some young Qiang people who defected to the Han people as entourages and followers.

These young and strong people of the White Horse Qiang and Ganlang Qiang were initially bewitched by the Sima family in Yizhou and followed Yan Yan across the Min Mountain to attack Lintao, Longxi, but were severely injured. Later, they fled into the deep mountains of Wu Ban and Jiang Bin, but were still captured from the depths of the mountains by a large number of vanguard troops who arrived later.

If we talk about why the vanguard army was able to successfully capture these Qiang people who fled into the mountains, we have to thank Zhao Xing for secretly training the hunting dogs. It is precisely because of the Octavian sense of the hunting dogs that the troops searching the mountains can accurately identify the locations where the Qiang people hide and capture them one by one from the living jungle of the cave.

Several expedition teams took the medicine and supplies needed for emergency treatment before leaving. After a hard and careful trek, they finally arrived at their destinations. Because the Qiang people accompanied him as a bridge of communication, the expedition team received support and help from local herders during the process of going deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the Qiang Dog, and discovered the Qiang Dog mentioned by Zhao Xing along the way.

The expedition team took out shiny crystals and golden jewelry. Under the original transaction of exchanging goods, they exchanged Qiang dogs that could be used as dog breeds from different clans and tribes, and obtained some Qiang slaves who raised Qiang dogs. With the help of these Tang Dynasty slaves, the expedition team began to retreat to the direction of Liang Kingdom, but encountered a disaster that almost wiped out their entire army.

The difficulty can be imagined when moving on the uninhabited and cold and dry Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. When several expedition teams that had gained all returned, there were already a small number of casualties. Two of them unfortunately passed through the Qiang tribe that had had a plague outbreak. As a result, nearly 100 people from the two expedition teams were destroyed because of the plague. The Qiang dogs brought back died halfway.

Fortunately, to be on the safe side, the four expedition teams did not agree to meet on the west coast together, so two teams that had not passed the infected area returned to Gaonu City successfully and brought back nearly a hundred Qiang dogs used for breeding.

After waiting for some time, the Shadow Team members in charge of the Liang Kingdom were not waiting for the other two teams that set out together at that time. They sent several alert team members to follow the route of the destroyed team to inquire about the news. As a result, they saw the two teams that were infected with the plague and eventually destroyed on the way, and the scene was tragic and terrifying before their death.

Several members of the road exploring team were very sensitive to the plague, so they immediately turned around and fled. When they arrived near the West Sea, they stopped a surrendered Qiang people who were grazing nearby from afar, and told them to report to Liangzhou by shouting, saying that a "devil" was found near the Tang Dynasty.

After learning about the incident, Jia Xu, who was in charge of the Shadow Operation in Liangguo, attached great importance to it and immediately sent someone to report the results of the operation.

Zhao Xing looked at the secret report that the content said, "The team was damaged, suspected to be caused by the plague infection. Fortunately, two of the teams brought back nearly 100 Qiang Dogs. Now all the returning team members and Qiang Dogs are in quarantine, waiting for the King of Pingxi to fall." Naturally, he was mixed and worried, and he was very entangled for a while. ~ See the first release without any advertisements, please come to "
