On the second day after Shen Hao wrote the situation of the border army into a bronze strip and sent it out, Jiang Cheng, who was far away in the imperial city Jingxi Funeral Office, received it. After a brief consideration, he took the bronze strip and went to the commanding officer's office to present Pang Ban.

Pang Ban put down the copper strips, rubbed his temples, and his face was a little tired. Even a monk from Xuanhai Realm would feel tired if he couldn't rest for a long time and was busy in this situation. He was silent for a while before saying, "What kind of information is this month?"

"The eleventh portion." Jiang Cheng stood in the office with his hands squinted and his head was slightly lowered. He could feel that the aura on Pang Ban's body became more gloomy over the past few days, so he was even more cautious.

"It seems that Shen Hao did a good job in the border army in the south. He did not rush forward. Everything was within the scope of authority given by His Majesty, which made the civil servants suffer. He did it very appropriately, and looked at the information... He linked the previous Black Water Plan with the errands of this supervisory envoy?"

"The Lord is very clear, and this is true. Shen Hao believes that the effect of the black water secret agent alone in the carriage and horse carriage may not be very good. So he combined the tentacles of the supervisor and the Black Water Plan, which now seems to be very effective. Of course, because of the special nature of the Black Water Plan, the supervisor will not be exposed to this plan. He is just a simple intelligence acquisition party and will not involve subsequent analysis and utilization."

Pang Ban nodded with satisfaction and smiled and said, "This is the only way. The Supervisor is the Supervisor, and the Black Water Plan belongs to the Black Water Plan. There can be intersections on both sides but no interference. It is best to have only Shen Hao, the intersection point, not leave any trouble. And this reminds us that the intelligence network is not just a single one. In this regard, I found that Shen Hao does have amazing talents. You have found a rare talent for Xuan Qingwei."

As the saying goes, this is what it means to recommend. Jiang Cheng did nothing many times because of Shen Hao's outstanding performance.

"Sir, I'm too proud, and Shen Hao has just done his job. However, the information sent back this time doesn't look great. If it's really as he expected, Zuo Yuliang will probably go out of the pass and go south to explore the center of gravity, and then Shen Hao will also follow him. At that time, the responsibilities of the supervisor may change. Do you think you need some adjustments?"

"Adjustment? How do you want to adjust?"

"Send some old men from Fengri City to listen to the tune, which may make Shen Hao more comfortable in special situations." Jiang Cheng's concern is not unreasonable. When we are in peace, we don't care about the new environment and the new subordinates, and he also believes that Shen Hao can control it. But once the surroundings are full of dangers, it often requires some accumulation of power to calm the scene. If there are new faces around, it is probably possible to have execution problems.

Didn’t it mean that the father and son are invincible? Jiang Cheng hopes that Shen Hao can have more available people around him so as not to have any accidents.

But Pang Ban obviously didn't think so. He waved his hand and said, "This is not appropriate. The proportion of the supervisor in the army cannot change. This was determined to die before. It is impossible to give more preferential treatment because Shen Hao is your disciple. Besides, this is a rare opportunity to exercise. If Shen Hao can not make mistakes in this battle and persevere smoothly until the end, the benefits he can get will definitely be enough to allow us to continue to entrust with important tasks and will not be criticized behind the scenes."

As he said that, Pang Ban stood up from the chair, walked to Jiang Cheng, and patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder.

"Jiang Zhenfu, you know yourself very well, but you don't know your disciple. What he needs is not blind protection, but more of it is wind and rain. He is different from you. You have no space to climb up, but his potential is still impossible.

Haha, maybe you don’t know that Shen Hao is going to break through again, right?”

Jiang Cheng's hand trembled when he heard this, and the silence in his eyes could not be concealed: "Ah? He is only at the eighth level of the God-Summary Realm? He is about to break through again so soon?!"

"Yes, the three guards I arranged for him have already sent back news that Shen Hao's true energy is surging in his body, and there are obvious signs of an upcoming breakthrough. If it is fast, it will be within these few days, and if it is slow, it will not exceed ten days. And according to the potential shown by Shen Hao, such a breakthrough in a small realm cannot cause him any trouble.

So do you understand what I mean? He is far more capable of taking things than you see.”

How could Pang Ban not know Jiang Cheng's little thoughts? It's just that I hope Shen Hao can climb up step by step, so that once Jiang Cheng leaves his position as Jingxi Punishment envoy, there will be no situation when people leave. As long as Shen Hao has a high position in Xuanqingwei, most of the wind and waves will not have much impact on Jiang Cheng and everyone on the ship, and will even become stronger due to Shen Hao's climb.

But although what Jiang Cheng thought was roughly the same and what Pang Ban thought, there were many differences in details. Because in Pang Ban's view, Shen Hao was not just the ability to become a small group of "groups", he should have a higher stage. Therefore, necessary hard work is indispensable.

"It's because my subordinates are not considerate."

"Okay. This time the military affairs are not easy, and it won't end so soon. Tell Shen Hao that he can follow Zuo Yuliang with peace of mind. If you can learn something, you can also reduce the trouble."

"Isn't you optimistic about the situation in the south?" Jiang Cheng could hear what Pang Ban said, and subconsciously followed and tentatively tempted it.

"Hmph. You are also from the army. What do you think of the situation in the south? You can easily crush and win like the market boasts outside?"

"This... in terms of combat power, our army will definitely be able to crush the barbarians. The subordinates have always believed in this. However, the terrain on the south is not optimistic now, which will greatly compress our army's advantages and magnify... disadvantages."

"That's right! Now Zuo Yuliang is in a difficult position to ride a tiger. If you want to defend the vast controlled area of ​​the barbarian area in the south, you will not allow the barbarians to obtain the most fertile land for full recovery, you must move the front line forward and press it tightly against the Jianchuan, Baitou Gorge, and Tiger Pillar Origin. This means you need to give up the huge advantages of the terrain of the Kundalini Pass and face an extremely long supply line.

The supply line is the life line, the longer it is, the more unsafe it is. If you are not careful, it will cause great losses to damage your muscles and bones. Moreover, this long supply line puts exponential pressure on the baggage.

The information brought back by Shen Hao showed that the battle situation in the southern front might be very tight. This shows that the barbarians also saw this weakness of our army. After the first raid failed, they launched a high-intensity attack, hoping to disrupt our deployment or crush the immature supply line in the early stage.
