After leaving Chang'an City, Changsun Ze had been receiving training in the army. When attacking the four chieftains, this guy thought he would have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. After all, he was called the waste of the Changsun family. He didn't feel it when he was in Chang'an City, but he felt it when he joined the army. He wanted to make achievements and then wash away the shame on himself.
However, given the situation on the mountain, an old hand might be ambushed by others, not to mention he was a novice, so Li Xiang placed this guy around Chengdu and did not let him go up the mountain to engage in any form of fighting. Although Changsun Wuji handed him over to Li Xiang, he still hoped that he could be safe.
But Li Xiang didn't expect that no matter how much he planned, there were still some things he couldn't predict. A rebel army rushed out of Chang Sunze's defense zone, with a number of about 300 people. It wasn't a lot, but Chang Sunze had only 15 men under his command. After all, he was a low-ranking officer.
At that time, Chang Sun Ze also wanted to escape, but thinking of his bad reputation in Chang'an City, this guy decided to take a gamble. Later it was proved that this guy was right in the gamble. After all, he had his father's genes in him, so he used 15 people and more advanced weapons. Although he did not wipe out all 300 people, he also killed more than 100 people.
If an ordinary person made a contribution, there might be people above him waiting to share the credit with him. But if a nobleman like Changsun Ze made a contribution, and killed more than 100 people, he would dare to say that he killed more than 300 people. However, Li Xiang's men did not do such a thing, but even these more than 100 people were very powerful.
So Changsun Ze was promoted smoothly. At that time, this guy tasted the sweetness of promotion. This was an official position obtained through his own efforts. It was different from those officials in Chang'an City. Those were obtained through the efforts of their fathers and brothers, but this one was obtained through his own struggle.
As long as people have tasted the sweetness, they will definitely continue to work hard in the next period of time. Therefore, after coming to Nanzhao, Changsun Ze also worked hard to train his 60 subordinates. This was also the result of his promotion. In the internal competition a few days ago, his 60 people defeated other small teams and won the first place.
He had originally wanted to make a contribution on the battlefield, but who knew Li Xiang would call him out and give him such a mission? Chang Sunze now understood that some things are not yours to choose. Opportunities are right in front of you. If you seize them, you will make another contribution. If you can't seize them...
When he came out from Li Xiang, he still remembered what Li Xiang had just said, that as long as Chang Sun Ze completed the task well, the number of soldiers under his command could be doubled to more than 120.
If Changsun Wuji knew about this, he would probably blame his son for being too short-sighted. He said, "It's just a small officer with more than 100 people. Is it worth your thinking about this?"
But Chang Sun Ze didn't think so. He could double the number of his men just by delivering a letter, which would take no more than an hour. It was really too simple a thing. Anyway, just remember one thing, that is, don't say anything after you go there. Let him guess whatever he wants. When you come back, you will be the leader of 120 people.
After spending so much time in the army, Chang Sunze also understood one thing: it is not so easy to make military achievements. The more people you have under your command, the greater the achievements you will make. Although it is impossible for him to be awarded the title of general on this trip back to Chang'an City, Chang Sunze is also very satisfied to be able to become a small officer of more than 100 people.
"This kid is so motivated right now. No one else is as capable as him. Other teams only have four night training sessions a month, but this guy has seven. And his soldiers haven't complained. It seems he's become one with them."
Seeing Changsun Ze walking out with such high spirits, Su Dingfang couldn't help but praise him a few words. Li Xiang was familiar with Su Dingfang's military affairs, and he would not tolerate any sand in the sand. If you didn't have any ability, let alone Changsun Ze, even Changsun Chong would lose face.
"To put it bluntly, this kid has a pretty good foundation. As long as his mind stays on the right track, he'll definitely achieve something. It just so happens that Lord Changsun's letter has arrived, and there's no one more suitable than him."
Li Xiang looked up at the sky in the distance. Over there was the residence of Prince Zhennan. Chang Sun Ze should not make any mistakes.
"We've almost finished the arrangements here. About 800 people have been arranged. They have already obtained a decent status in the local area and will continue to live here in the future. In addition, there are more than 200 people who travel around to collect information and then send it back to Chang'an City for us."
Su Dingfang took out a top-secret letter from his pocket. It contained a list of various troops that Li Xiang had planted in Nanzhao Kingdom, with a total of about 1,100 people. These people would have to survive here in the next two to three years. The first task was to survive and gather information. If you couldn't stay hidden in the local area, forget about gathering information. You would probably be discovered every two days. Don't treat the people of Nanzhao Kingdom as fools.
Li Xiang looked carefully at this huge hidden plan. When Li Xiang came to Nanzhao to get married, Su Dingfang had already started to formulate this plan. If he had not come here, it would have been a troublesome thing for more than 1,000 people to come here. Now, because of the wedding as a cover, although some people have doubts, they can all be explained.
"Can everyone be trusted?"
Li Xiang said with some concern that if there were fewer people, Li Xiang could use the people in the system, but this undercover plan involved more people. Although there were many people in the system, they were all used by Li Xiang in various major aspects.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We've selected people who have connections in the mainland. We won't hire people who work alone. They're also family-oriented, so they won't betray us. They've also been trained in the military camp for several months and are pretty capable in other places."
Su Dingfang didn't dare to say too much, but at least from the current situation, no one was more suitable than these 1,000 people. They also knew the gap between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao, and should not be so foolish as to choose to betray the Tang Dynasty.
