The 100 cavalrymen who followed Bai Xiaowen to Jizhou were part of the Youzhou army and Yuan Shao's subordinates.
Bai Xiaowen couldn't trust Qiao Rui with these people because they were Yuan Shao's subordinates. Delivering intelligence was a highly confidential job, so Bai Xiaowen couldn't let them do it. Therefore, he brought them back to Youzhou as they were.
The intelligence from Guandu Frontline to Ye City in Jizhou was delivered by Tian Yu's bodyguards.
The intelligence from Ye City in Jizhou to Youzhou was delivered through the Zhen Family's secret channel to keep it a secret.
Qiao Rui was hiding in the Zhen Family. Bai Xiaowen also needed her wisdom and decisiveness to be in charge of this important central intelligence station in Ye City.
After making all these arrangements, Bai Xiaowen went to see Zhen Mi and left Xiao Hong, the servant girl who slept with Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi didn't ask Bai Xiaowen about the details of last night. She just held Bai Xiaowen's hand and said, "I'm in Ye City. I wish my husband a great success in Youzhou."
Bai Xiaowen wanted to take Zhen Mi with him, but she stayed in the Yuan Mansion in Ye City to take care of Madame Liu. This was a kind of filial piety that deserved praise. Bai Xiaowen couldn't force it. He didn't have the capital to be willful now!
Bai Xiaowen could only hold Zhen Mi's hand and say, "My dear wife, please wait patiently. It will take half a month to a month. I'll definitely make some achievements and then come to reunite with you."
…
Bai Xiaowen and Cecilia returned with 50 taels of gold.
Although the gold was heavy, it didn't take up much of the weight of the horses in Bai Xiaowen's storage space. Of course, the cloth and army rations couldn't be transported through the storage space.
Cecilia summoned the divine steed Bai Yujing. The two rode on the same horse and rushed back to Youzhou. The 100 cavalrymen couldn't keep up with Bai Yujing's speed and could only walk slowly behind.
Bai Yujing's speed wasn't just for show. When it galloped, the trees on both sides became reflections as it sped past.
Its speed was probably more than 150 kilometers per hour! This was Bai Yujing's normal running speed. If it sprinted, it would be even faster.
Don't compare it to the speed of a modern car on the highway. What was Bai Yujing's road like? Not only was it bumpy, but there was also snow and ice and snow and snow all year long. Yujing's speed was really amazing. and there were very few bumps.
It only took them half a day's's journey back to Beiping.
Once they arrived, they of of the Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Sect, Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Spiritual Sect ''s's.
This wasn't the time to be stingy with Mana points. Bai Xiaowen used [Insight] on them one by one.
Insight into these people was not to consider what would happen if they became enemies, but to understand the size of a person's basic ability, so as to avoid missing out on talents.
. and.......... in ''s.............................. he...................
However, the result of the Spiritual Insight was not satisfactory.
There were five leaders of the Spiritual Spiritual Sect's' 'civil officials and generals. Among them, Liu He, Zhao Rong, Jiao Tan, Zhang Nan, and Yan Rou were generals. The rest of them were mediocre and not worth mentioning.
But of the five leaders, Zhao Rong, Jiao Tan, and Zhang Nan were all Yuan Shao's' subordinates. They were sent to help Bai Xiaowen manage the Spiritual Sect's' military affairs. They would only listen to Yuan Shao. If Bai Xiaowen wanted to use the treasury's money or a large number of troops, the three of them had to see Yuan Shao's' 'order before taking action.
Only Liu He and Yan Rou were former subordinates of the former Spiritual Sect's' Spiritual Sect's' '. They were not Yuan Shao's' 'confidants.
However, the two of them did not have much interaction with 'Yuan Xi'. They were still on guard. Unlike Tian Feng and Zhen Yan, it was not easy to win their loyalty.
Bai Xiaowen asked them to report the situation. He had a basic understanding of the Spiritual Sect's' military affairs.
Currently, most of the Spiritual Sect's troops had been transferred away. The two generals, Jiao Tan and Zhang Nan, still had twenty thousand men under them. Yan Rou had five thousand men under her. It would be an exaggeration to say that these twenty thousand men were old, weak, sick, and disabled. However, they were definitely not elite troops. The real elites were basically at the front line of Guandu.
Most of the money and food this season had been transported to the Spiritual Sect's' headquarters. The money left in the Spiritual Sect's treasury was only enough for the sect's' normal operations.
"I still have to rely on myself."
Bai Xiaowen sighed in his heart. After a short meeting, he left the mansion without stopping and brought Cecilia to inspect the various military facilities in Beiping City.
Bai Xiaowen's focus was on Beiping City's Military Weapons Workshop.
"How is the military equipment here compared to the Cain Realm?" Bai Xiaowen asked Cecilia through the team channel.
"The method of forging steel is a bit ancient, but the effect is unexpectedly good," Cecilia said after observing for a while. "The armor made from this' Tempered Steel 'is very strong and light. Although the iron bow is a bit heavy, with the quality of the soldiers here, there should be no need to worry about the equipment. In terms of attack power, it is stronger than the composite bow. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "The military equipment in the Spiritual Realm is not stronger the closer it is to modern technology. It is related to the concentration of psionic particles. The military equipment in the Three Kingdoms' Realm is definitely stronger than the ones in the Cain Realm. However, this kind of Tempered Steel is more precious. It is usually used to forge treasured swords and sabers. It cannot be used on a large scale. Currently, the armor worn by the elite cavalry is made from this kind of Tempered Steel. "
Cecilia looked at the sample of Tempered Steel. She knocked on it and listened. Then, she said, "Tempered Steel is not bad. If it is used to forge winged cavalry, it is barely enough. "
"Then, what about this Tempered Steel?" Another steel armor was handed over. This kind of steel was used to make the armor of the lieutenants and lieutenants.
"Very good. Although it is not as good as Tempered Steel, it is better than the light steel in the Cain Realm. It is more than enough to forge winged cavalry." Cecilia gave a definite answer.
The two then went to inspect the stables.
Youzhou was indeed a place of good horses. The warhorses were tall and strong. They were much stronger than the horses in the south. Cecilia was very satisfied with one look.
"Dior, with the special steel, iron bow, and excellent warhorses, there should be enough resources to forge winged cavalry. Now, I need soldiers. It is best if they are veterans who have been on the battlefield. That way, I can train them in a week. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "This is easy. My position as the provincial governor of Youzhou seems to be an empty title. It is more or less useful. "
Bai Xiaowen immediately summoned Yan Rou and ordered him to bring all five thousand men to the drill ground for inspection.
Yan Rou was not Yuan Shao's confidant, so he did not dare to question him.
After the five thousand men were lined up, Bai Xiaowen brought Cecilia to select soldiers. Cecilia was quite good at selecting soldiers. She could always pick out the better soldiers from the uneven number of soldiers. Bai Xiaowen opened a few Insight and was secretly amazed.
