Chapter 1274 Chapter 1274: A battle to determine the southwest (11) [Happy National Day]
The efficiency of the Southwest Allied Forces was much worse than expected.
Shen Tang once suspected that they were planning to encircle rather than attack, trying to trap the main force of Kang State here. However, judging from the pressure of food and fodder at the rear, it is still uncertain who will be dragged to death. The Allies made no move, so Shen Tang was happy to continue training as a navy man, as he never had too much experience.
Is it an actual reason?
This has to mention Cui Zhi.
Cui Zhi left the camp early, disrupting the combat rhythm of the Southwest Allies. As one of the core leaders of this battle, his absence is not just as simple as missing someone. Even if he recommended Mei Meng, Mei Jinghe was not a member of the Cui family, and a general who was closely related to the Cui family would not easily accept her. The two giant Buddhas of the Southwest Allied Forces, Luo Yuan and Gongyang Yongye, were even more unable to command.
This is also the reason why the delay is longer than expected.
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
I don’t know whether it’s because this world has supernatural powers like Bunshin Wudan, or because of other reasons, the changes in the weather are more complicated. The wind direction changes at different times every year. Even fishermen who have made a living on the river all their lives dare not say that they have completely understood the rules. Fortune and misfortune depended on each other. Mei Meng was ordered to delay the crisis, but he also waited for the opportunity to change the direction of the wind.
The timing of heaven is the law of the movement of heaven.
Wenxin scribes can use their words and spirits to influence the heaven and earth, but the difficulty of complying with the heaven and hour and going against the heaven and hour are not at the same level.
To take the simplest example, for example, in a torrential rain environment, if a scribe uses the spirit of speech to make the sky clear, it is against the weather, and using the spirit of speech to increase the intensity of the rain is in compliance with the weather. The latter is far less difficult than the former and consumes less literary energy.
The Allies have the advantage of a tailwind, which makes it very convenient to march on the water or clear the way. The most important thing is that the main force of the building ships is less restricted. The side facing the wind will be more uncomfortable. The building ship will suffer too much resistance, and its maneuverability, which is already limited by its size, will be even lower. From the perspective of the naval formation, the Southwest Allies had the upper hand. Of course, this is not irreversible.
The scribes on Kang's side could turn the tide at a cost.
"As far as I know, this is Kang Guo's specialty." As the vice-president of the Southwest Branch, Mei Meng can handle most of the confidential information that Cui Zhineng has access to. "Arrange a group of people to get rid of these first. Even if you can’t do it, you have to contain it in front of the formation.”
"This is Jiang Feng!"
The allies of the Southwest Allied Forces felt that Mei Meng was too cautious. Is it necessary to send someone to assassinate her? Changing the wind direction in an area is not as simple as plowing a field because the wind moves!
If the wind changes in a small area, it will be swallowed up by the natural wind within a few breaths. It is basically equivalent to changing the direction of a drop of water and counting on the drop of water to reverse the direction of the waves. The direction of the waves will not change, but it can swallow the drop of water.
If you want to change it, it needs to be big.
When it is big enough, it can move left and right.
How large a range and force must the artificial wind cover to compete with the wind that follows the laws of heaven? Rather than worrying unfoundedly and wasting limited energy here, it is better to use the spared troops for other purposes: "How to reverse it?"
Mei Meng said: "Why can't it be reversed?"
She raised her eyes and looked directly at the general who questioned her decision: "Since the founding of Kang State, there has not been a single natural disaster in the territory. Before that, you should have heard what was going on in the northwest. Kang State's use of national destiny to interfere with the weather is one of the reasons. The second is the combination of the two, and the great prosperity of Kang State in recent years."
How big is the territory of Kang State?
The weather within the country's borders is controlled.
What is a mere Jiang Feng?
Mei Meng not only had to be on guard, but also had to strike first, inserting spies in and looking for opportunities to carry out assassination operations. Of course, instead of taking action now, we have to stay put. When the two sides officially start the war, the informants will point out the locations of these people and focus on their removal.
In addition to these details, Mei Meng also had to arrange his troops.
In fact, most of this part of the work has been completed. Cui Zhi left all the plans and Mei Meng was responsible for the layout. It sounds simple, but in fact it is very difficult. It's not that there's anything wrong with the battle plan, it's that the results of troop mobilization fail to convince the public.
This transfer was in Cui Zhi's hands, and they accepted it.
But in the hands of Mei Meng, they went back on their word.
They say this is unfair and that is unreasonable, pretending to be impartial and selfless, but in fact they are only planning for benefits. I heard that Mei Meng was demoted and abandoned by the leader of Qi State. Their move was to bully Mei Meng for not having family support behind her.
If Mei Meng is led by them, or has a little stage fright, everyone's interests cannot be reconciled. After watching the show for a few days, Shen Wu Youtang couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her.
"Pig teammate, I can't carry you. I can't carry you."
If only one person in a group seeks benefits for himself, if this person is found out, he will be reprimanded by his peers; if everyone in a group seeks benefits for themselves, then the impartial and selfless person will become the target of public criticism. Mei Meng is in this situation now.
"General Qi won't help either?"
Qi Cang and Mei Meng should have a good relationship. Or is it that Qi Cang is really a fun-loving person, and he will watch everyone’s fun?
"Help her? She doesn't need to help. If you can't even suppress this scene, you can't be Mei Jinghe." Qi Cang thought of the people in the Southwest Allied Forces and sneered, "Isn't it easy to clean up the rabble? He has pigtails all over his head. Let’s see if we dare to catch him.”
Would Mei Meng not have the courage?
Sure enough, within two days I heard that someone had been dealt with by military law. Mei Meng acted very quickly. The person who wanted to plead for mercy even yelled out the sentence "Save one under the sword", but the life of the unfortunate guy was still not saved. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If the chicken doesn't die, how can the monkey behave?
The only thing to blame is the bad luck of these chickens.
Haha, it's obviously not just a few chickens that are unlucky.
Before Qin Li and several scribes who were good at Tianshi Yanling could react, the hidden thread around them had been nipped in the bud.
"Why are you today?" The conditions in the military camp are limited, but Shen Tang is really not stingy with the people she likes. She knows that Qin Li is good at tea, and she will not forget his share of any good tea cakes she has on weekdays, even when marching and fighting. Send someone to take care of his daily life.
The first one came up as a prisoner.
It is said that before he was drafted into the army, his family was engaged in the tea business. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also made good tea. Qin Li was quite satisfied with the tea brewed by this person, both in terms of temperature and taste. Being busy at his desk today, Qin Li picked up the tea cup at hand without raising his head. As soon as he took it into his mouth, he noticed that the taste was not right. He asked the guard beside him what was going on, and the guard hesitated and told the truth.
"That man committed suicide."
Qin Li's face was relaxed and calm.
"Aren't you of pure origin?"
Anyone who can be sent to Qin Li as an errand will be investigated for eighteen generations. Qin Li himself had asked about it, so how could there be a problem?
When Gu Chi saw Qin Li coming, he knew what he was going to ask: "I stopped someone who was about to commit suicide and got some clues from her mouth. These people are all apparently survivors of the Gao Kingdom, and they were all originally Wu Xian's Private slaves. If anything happens if they sneak in, the debt will be blamed on Wu Zhaode in the end..."
Qin Li shook his head and said, "It can't be Wu Xian."
Wu Xian is indeed an indecisive character, but this does not mean that he is brainless. Even if Wu Xian doesn't give up, he will not make small moves when his master is at the peak of his strength. Once exposed, he will kill everyone. With his personality, he wouldn't take such a big risk.
It seems like someone framed the blame.
Qin Li asked: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Gu Chi said: "None of these people have seen the mastermind behind the scenes. They only know that they are from the inner court. And wasn't the inner court at that time the court of the High King? Judging from the time, I have a suspect."
Qin Li understood: "Mei Meng?"
Gu Chi smiled and said, "It can only be her." The master suddenly assigned a task, saying that there might be informants lurking around Qin Li and others, and asked him to investigate secretly. Gu Chi's first reaction was that it was outrageous. The people around Chongchen were carefully screened. What spy can escape his own scribe's ways?
As it turns out, there really is.
If making tea for Qin Li is poisonous...
Gu Chi didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Qin Li: "Why don't you dare to think about it? Can I still be poisoned to death?"
The Lord arranged for him three bodyguards who would test the poison. If he died after being eaten like this, it would only prove that he was destined to do so. After all, he is also a literary scholar who has mastered the art of scribes. Even the most powerful poison in the world cannot kill him in an instant. He can still be dragged to the doctor Xinglin to induce vomiting and detoxify him. Compared with these worries, Qin Li was more concerned about the timing of the enemy's placement of these informants.
Does that have to go back to the Battle of Gaoguo?
"Poison you? Why don't you make the Lord heartbroken?"
There was a bit of sourness in Gu Chi's words.
It was only this time that he learned that his master also arranged for Qin Li to have three guards to test the poison, and he didn't even get such treatment.
Qin Li: "..."
His colleague is not in his right mind.
After Gu Chi finished his work, he patted his **** and went back to meet Shen Tang. The hidden clues found out, except for the only one who was intercepted alive, all the others committed suicide. The scouts outside also discovered suspicious people and arrested them all: "How to deal with these people?"
"Kill the living chickens to scare the monkeys, and throw the dead to feed the fish?"
Shen Tang wiped the silver-white bow in his hand with a handkerchief and said without raising his head: "The corpses took poison that sealed their throats with blood. Isn't it murdering the fishes by throwing them away to feed them? These corpses had their heads chopped off and the corpses were thrown away by the scouts. Just go to the Southwest Allied Scouts."
Gu Chi didn't understand why he deliberately cut off his head.
Isn't this unnecessary?
Without a brain, how did Mei Meng know that this was her spy?
Shen Tang grabbed the bow that was almost as tall as her with one hand, looked towards the direction of the southwest allied forces, and sneered: "I recognize it."
Gu Chi's heart trembled.
He instantly thought of what Shen Tang wanted to do.
Shen Tang's tone was cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "...reach out to Gong Su, she is really not afraid of death."
The southwest allied scouts looked at the approaching enemy, all on alert, tensed their muscles, and made a posture to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, the enemy charged halfway, threw a few **** bags at them, then made a sharp turn and retreated, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Fraud?
The pioneer scout ordered people to come forward to check.
The bag actually contained several headless corpses.
Judging from the clothes on the corpse, it should be from Kangguo?
The scouts and others looked at each other.
They did not dare to delay and sent people to spread the news to the camp.
Mei Meng came after hearing the news and vaguely guessed the identities of these people.
She lowered her eyes to think, then raised her eyes, scanning everyone present. The Allied allies did not know the identities of these people, but they also knew that this was Kang Guo's provocation and humiliation: "Take off the heads of the corpses to scare us? There are no heads. Who knows where these corpses came from?"
This method is too naive.
Who's here who didn't come in with the flash of swords?
What role can a few headless corpses play?
Qi Cang just took one look and felt that he was not having fun. Just as he was about to turn around, his ears twitched slightly and his eyes looked in the direction of the sitting band.
The other generals were weaker than him, and their reactions were naturally not as sharp as his. It was not until the light blade broke through the clouds, leaving a white line across the sky across the two armies, and approached the sitting position that they were shocked, angry and took action: " No little thief dares to attack!"
Sitting on the banner, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army carries the banner.
No matter who shot this arrow, let alone breaking the arrow, even if it missed the target, the face of the Southwest Allied Forces would be lost from now on to future generations. In an instant, dozens of rays of martial energy of various colors swept towards the sitting position, bound to stop the arrow.
Qi Cang just glanced at it and retracted his toes.
Zhonglifu beside him whistled.
"Who is so arrogant that he can shoot down an arrow with one arrow?"
Qi Cang suspected that she was gloating about her misfortune, and there was evidence.
"General Qi won't stop him?"
Qi Cang hummed: "This arrow was shot from the opposite side. It has lost much power at such a long distance. If the allied generals can't even stop this arrow, it would be better to clean their necks as soon as possible and wait for someone to chop them. Don’t embarrass yourself by going to the battlefield.”
His words were not without acrimony.
However, he didn't expect that the other person would be even more harsh.
This big arrow has a human head on it!
"You still dare to come?"
Everyone looked at the head on the big arrow, and then at the headless corpse on the ground, and felt an invisible hand slap across the face. Just a slap could not relieve the opponent's anger. The allied generals noticed that a favorable arrow was approaching again. This time the target was not the commander's seat, but the center of the camp. Due to the distance limit, the remaining power of this arrow is limited, but the humiliation effect is immediately full.
Likewise, there is a human head on top of the big arrow.
The archer on the other side had a naughty mentality and deliberately teased the Allies' mentality. Seven heads were airlifted over one after another.
Seven heads, seven headless corpses.
Just when everyone thought it was over.
A wave of air suddenly erupted in the direction of Gongyang Yongye's camp, and the shadow of a Mo Dao, which was more than ten feet high, met the eighth big arrow head-on. The two collided, and the air waves generated by the collision knocked the nearby guards staggering around. Several holes were cut on the flag's surface by the air blade, and sawdust from the flagpole as thick as a bucket flew everywhere. If he hadn't blocked this arrow, Sitting on the flagpole would really have broken it with one arrow!
"A bunch of trash."
Gongyang Yongye crushed the big arrow with one hand.
As the big arrow turned into powder, a note floated out.
Gongyang Yongye glanced at it, martial energy poured into the paper, and the seemingly soft and fragile paper was instantly sharpened like iron. With a little skillful exertion of his wrist, the piece of paper disappeared into the ground at Mei Meng's feet with a pop.
"For you."

I plan to write two extras during the National Day to change my mind.
One is a linkage extra, and the other is an IF line in this world without Tang Mei.
