Of course, anwhile, Liu Zhizhong's intelligence system was working intensely, constantly sending valuable intelligence back to headquarters.
Thus, the movents of the Peng Family Army and Xue Family Army were closely monitored. Everything was proceeding according to the plan, step by step.
The Xue Family Army was extensively deploying troops, initiating logistical support. Ard helicopters, artillery, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and infantry together ford a considerable firepower system, which was almost assembled in six days and then advanced along the avenue towards the Wabei District.
While the Xue Family Army was mobilizing troops on a large scale, the entire defense was also contracting towards key towns, particularly to guard Wazhong City. This was Xue Manzi's stronghold, with impregnable defenses—not to be underestimated! No one wants to experience the taste of soone stealing the tower.
As for the Peng Family Army, they were not agitated, waiting for the progress of the Xue Family Army's actions to speak. As soon as they entered the Wabei District, the Peng Family Army would launch a double-line attack, gathering and deploying to move to the border defense line, completing it in three days.
In the Wabei District, Long Bo seed quite cooperative with the Xue Family Army, keeping the border open, waiting for the troops to arrive. Of course, in the areas bordering the Peng Family Army, Long Bo strengthened the defenses, staying vigilant.
The defense in the Wabei and Goa Regions was also reinforced by Long Bo, remaining alert.
On Liu Zhizhong's side, led by Ruan Juhai's unified command, twenty thousand troops conducted border defense exercises, showcasing impressive strength, gathering and moving, gradually approaching key defense positions in Wabei. On the seventh day, they conducted an offensive and defensive drill, drawing the Wabei Army's high attention, and remaining on high alert.
And it was at this ti that Liu Zhizhong, Liu Dongyuan, and Weng Xingban, the three powerful figures, silently traversed the gaps in the Wabei Army's defenses, heading through the mountains towards the Wabei capital, Wabei City.
The three of them were truly the most skilled operatives of the People's Army in Vallebang, with Liu Zhizhong ranked first, Liu Dongyuan second, and Weng Xingban just a bit behind Liu Dongyuan.
They traveled through the hills, taking the remote paths without military defenses. This was thanks to routes provided by Ruan Juhai and Jiang Ziyang, who were well-inford about the geography here, as they were once the chief of staff and a staff officer.
A day later, Liu Zhizhong and his companions sneaked into a marble quarry in Wabei District. With the help of the Jungle Army intelligence personnel, they disguised themselves as delivery drivers and porters.
Liu Dongyuan acted as the driver, while Liu Zhizhong and Weng Xingban were the porters, driving a truck loaded with five tons of marble directly towards Wabei City, 150 kiloters away.
This batch of marble was extrely precious Luoyun-patterned marble, highly expensive. Such products were favored by the rich throughout Southeast Asia and South Asia for their unique flowing cloud patterns and extraordinary decorative effect.
And can you guess who they were delivering this cargo to?
It was none other than Long Bo!
Do you believe it?
You have to believe it!
Because the intelligence was very accurate!
After Long Bo beca the leader of the Wabei Army, he couldn't be different from other warlords, wanting to build a grand manor and villa for himself.
He couldn't possibly seize his brother-in-law's widow's manor, could he?
Of course, Long Bo's manor villa wasn't far from his sister's ho, only about 150 ters away.
This batch of marble was intended to be part of the renovation of Long Bo's villa. The plan required over a hundred tons of such marble for the villa.
Because this transport truck carried a pass from the Wabei headquarters, bearing Long Bo's seal, despite going through so military checkpoints, it passed smoothly.
After all, after Liu Zhizhong and his companions disguised themselves, they truly looked like quarry workers, a bearded driver, and strong porters.
With the commander's pass, they didn't even need to show their IDs and were directly allowed through with the vehicle.
The road was sowhat difficult, so it took nearly two days to reach the construction site at Long Bo's manor.
By this ti, the fences of the manor were being erected, piling machines were on site, and excavators among other machinery were also in place. Over a hundred construction workers were busy making progress amid the hustle and bustle.
Not far away was the Sa Family Manor belonging to the widow of Sa Yileng. Living there were his wife and children, parents, and others.
Of course, the manor's security was very tight, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close.
The construction site of Long Bo's manor was also heavily guarded.
The new warlord leader had to maintain the appearance of being a leader.
When Liu Zhizhong and his companions arrived, it was already near dusk.
The truck entered the manor construction site, and Liu Zhizhong and Weng Xingban really went to unload the cargo, moving marble to the designated construction site warehouse.
Because this marble was not thick but rather stylish sheets, making it unsuitable for cranes, manual unloading was the best thod.
Ultimately, the unloading was just a pretense.
They had barely unloaded a few slabs when soone ca from the Sa Family Manor.
A person resembling a steward ca over and directly said: "The sunrooms for the bedroom and outside balcony and small garden at Mrs. Sa's manor need this marble, don't unload it here, take it over there."
At this point, Liu Zhizhong understood that this steward was already a People's Party mber, having been turned.
He pretended to say, "This might not be possible, right? This batch of stone was specifically ordered by Commander Long to be placed here!"
The steward replied, "Commander Long is currently having dinner at his sister's place; he personally instructed it, is that not enough? Hurry and move it!"
What could Liu Zhizhong and his companions say to this? They imdiately secured the truck, got in, and headed towards the Sa Family Manor.
In reality, Long Bo was not going to have dinner here tonight.
However, the sister had just lost her husband, and the husband's remains had been buried only a few days prior, making her naturally feel down.
The Jungle Army intelligence personnel had worked so operations, and the People's Party steward coaxed Mrs. Sa, suggesting that having her brother over for dinner might improve her mood. In the current Wabei, they depended on Commander Long! Having him accompany his sister for dinner would provide comfort.
As a result, Mrs. Sa agreed and personally phoned her brother to invite him over.
Simultaneously, Mrs. Sa was also persuaded to change the bedroom's decor style, including the outside balcony and garden, sunroom—all adorned with Luoyun marble from Wabei—to liven things up and improve her mood.
Everything fell perfectly into place.
During dinner, Long Bo heard that his sister wanted Luoyun marble for renovation, so without hesitation, he ordered the cargo from his manor to be used as needed.
Just like that, smoothly as silk, Liu Zhizhong and his companions drove into the Sa Family Manor…
