Chapter 780: Infighting

"Big fish eat small fish; I'm afraid small and medium-sized bandit gangs like the Qiu Hua Gang will disappear soon." The thin man asked him: "What are your thoughts?"

He Lingchuan held up two fingers: "First, force the Xiji puppet army to declare war on the Qianjin Stronghold as soon as possible."

"Second, ensure that the Qianjin Stronghold wins."

The thin man didn't understand: "What about those small and medium-sized bandit gangs?"

"They are consumables; they will disappear even if you don't care about them." He Lingchuan thought for a moment, "These large bandit gangs have all designated their own hunting grounds on the trade route, right?"

"Right." The Longchuan trade route is very long; only large bandit gangs are qualified to circle their hunting grounds. "The Xiji puppet army receives personnel from other bandit gangs and also receives their territory. The Qianjin Stronghold and the Qiu Hua Gang are very dissatisfied, which is also one of the sources of conflict."

"How big is their territory?"

"From Jixin Pavilion in the south, all the way to Hunlong Ridge."

"It's actually that big! No wonder the Qianjin Stronghold is annoyed." He Lingchuan was a bit surprised, "Does it also include the Green Wolf Post Station where we are?"

"Right, you and I are sitting on the hunting ground of the Xiji puppet army."

After saying this, both of them laughed.

"Excellent, next, the Yuheng army will fully patrol the territory of the Xiji puppet army, seeking to make them gain nothing."

This should be one of the most effective ways to intensify the internal contradictions in Longchuan.

"By the way, the news you gave earlier, it hasn't changed?"

"It hasn't changed." The thin man pointed to the ground, "I overheard their plan; it's today, it's here."

He Lingchuan nodded: "Good."

The thin man changed the subject: "I heard that Yuheng City can also exchange military merits?"

"Right, the place to exchange is called 'Happy Forest'; Xiao Tongling planned it when he was in Yuheng City, and it was only built two months ago."

"... This name, who took it?" It sounds like an indecent place.

He Lingchuan smiled: "Me."

When Sun Zi heard this name, he also spat at him.

"Good!" The thin man didn't care about the beef tendon stuck in his teeth and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Fresh and refined!"

"When exchanging military merits, who isn't happy?" He Lingchuan *chi*ed, "You didn't see those new recruits; when they exchanged military merits, they were howling, wanting to exchange for this and that." It was as if he saw himself back then.

Yuheng City also used the system of Panlong City; military merits could be exchanged for cultivation techniques, combat skills, weapons, and armor, and could also be exchanged for various strange objects, or even directly converted into money and grain. The soldiers of the New Army saw the long list of exchangeable items for the first time, their eyes turned green, and their breathing became heavy.

"The reason why the Longchuan trade route bandit suppression is so difficult yet can continue to advance is largely due to them." In the eyes of the soldiers, bandits are equivalent to military merits. Only by suppressing bandits more can they exchange for their favorite equipment sooner.

Otherwise, after the banditry subsides and the Xiji region is peaceful, they don't know how long they will have to wait to accumulate military merits. Just like the Panlong City army now, except for fighting hard battles, it is very difficult to accumulate military merits quickly by completing other tasks.

Speaking of this, he asked the thin man: "Can you get in touch with the water bandits' fence channels?"

The thin man shook his head and told the truth: "Not yet, I joined the gang not long ago, and they don't trust me enough. But I heard the higher-ups mention 'Bantou Town' several times, as if they regularly transport goods there."

Bantou Town? He Lingchuan thought about it; it wasn't actually far from Yuheng City.

"The stolen goods, you can always touch them, right?"

"That's no problem."

Speaking of this, He Lingchuan took out a small transparent bottle the size of a finger belly and pushed it to the thin man.

The thin man looked at the light; there was nothing in the bottle except a few white sesame seeds. Looking closely, it didn't seem to be sesame seeds either; they were rounder and a bit transparent. "This is?"

It seemed he had seen it somewhere, but couldn't remember for a moment.

"Bee eggs."

"No wonder it looks familiar." The thin man put away the small bottle, "How do you plan to use it?"

The bee was originally one of the species in the Panlong Wasteland; for the sake of their offspring, the parent bees dared to challenge wild beasts like bears, tigers, and wolves.

"You hide these few bee eggs in the stolen goods." He Lingchuan smiled, "I have the queen bee in my hand. Wherever they are transported, I should be able to track them."

In later generations, the Songyang Prefecture used the characteristics of the bees to make tracking compasses. He Lingchuan didn't have that level, but he had people bring back live bees from Panlong City, which could also have a tracking effect.

The thin man suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up: "High, truly high!"

In the end, physical tracking is the most useful.

"End the fence channels, and they won't be able to sell the goods."

He Lingchuan shook his head: "It's not that simple. Longchuan is not far from the Ju Nation; we block this end, they can go to that end."

The thin man didn't understand, so why is there a need to control the fence channels? At this time, a white bird flew over the Green Wolf Post Station and circled twice.

The thin man immediately lowered his head, and his bamboo hat blocked his face.

After the white bird flew away, He Lingchuan looked at its back, his face darkened, and said to the thin man: "You should go back."
