On the day she received Huang Lie's letter, Shen Tang did not rush to inform everyone, but chose to sleep comfortably for the day. The next day, she announced the matter in public at the morning meeting. Although everyone had different expressions, there was no hint of timidity or worry.
They have been waiting for this day for too long.
We just need to reorganize our troops and horses before we can set off.
Shen Tang's mentality is similar, calm and calm, but there is one thing she can't figure out: "I have always had a doubt in my heart."
Liao Jia is very curious: "What doubt?"
"How did Zheng Qiao survive until now?" Shen Tang held his chin and looked at the letters that were circulated to him again and again, "In other words, how did he persevere under the siege of many forces after doing so many things that angered both people and gods? Until now?”
Looking at the meaning of Huang Lie’s letter, it is estimated that this joint attack is not completely sure that Zheng Qiao’s forces will be wiped out.
The fact that Shen Tang can develop with peace of mind is partly due to the fact that Zheng Qiao's hatred is stable enough to prevent her from being attacked when her power is budding. However, Zheng Qiao's life is so strong, and it is indeed true that beyond her expectation. Is there any way here?
Of all the people present, only Qiu Cheng’s former subordinates had participated in the Dragon Slaying Bureau and knew the first-hand information from the front line. Shen Tang turned his questioning eyes to Luan Xin: “Back then, I predicted that Zheng Qiao would not survive more than three years, but now he will not be able to survive. Entering its fifth year..."
What is Zheng Qiao’s trump card?
Luan Xin instantly became the center of attention.
He sighed: "The warriors under Zheng Qiao's account are extremely loyal, brave and fierce. In the initial confrontation between the two armies, Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses were able to win at least two of the three battles, and there were many complete victories in the three battles. The coalition forces once Fall into decline. If it weren't for Zheng Qiao's unpopularity, the civil strife continued, and the outcome was uncertain. During this period, Alliance Leader Huang and others also thought of various strategies to incite rebellion against his generals, but they never worked..."
During this period, they also used it. A honey trap.
The result was that the beauty’s head was found hanging high above the city gate.
Shen Tang paid attention to the battle situation on the front line, but it was not comprehensive.
Luan Xin's intelligence impact was even greater.
"So loyal? Did Zheng Qiao save the families of these brave warriors in his previous life?" Luan Xin's answer still could not solve her doubts, "Logically speaking, Zheng Qiao only inherited the family fortune of Pan Geng. As well as part of the legacy of the Xin Kingdom, although there are many brave and brave warriors at his disposal, the overall strength should not be strong enough to achieve such a strong record. Furthermore, Zheng Qiao. He has used cruel methods to kill Zhongliang all these years, so it’s so strange that these brave warriors under his command don’t have any sense of crisis!”
Luan Xin still didn’t adapt to Shen Tang’s metaphor, and said seriously: “ It’s not clear whether he had any life-saving grace in his previous life, but there is a reason why Zheng Qiao makes them loyal.”
The battle is more fierce than Huang Lie’s heavy-shield warriors!
Shen Tang was in great interest, and others also looked curiously.
Luan Xin hesitated for a few seconds, as if hesitating whether to say anything, but finally said it: "Because what impresses these courageous warriors is not just powerful positions, beautiful cars and beautiful women, but also enough martial luck. Zheng Qiao asked Mo It is currently known that the person who controls the Great Seal is the most A strong person, his vassal ways can complement the national seal and give a strong boost to the warriors under his command."
The courageous warriors who can collude with Zheng Qiaokang are naturally not people of noble character, and they are not noble. It is easier to surrender to worldly desires. Those present were either literary scholars or brave warriors, and they knew best the attraction of literary and military fortunes to them.
After hearing this, Shen Tang understood that there was a reason for the coalition's poor record, but what followed was more doubts.
"Zheng Qiao's way of being a prince?"
This information should be considered confidential.
At least the people sent by Shen Tang didn't get wind of it.
Qiu Cheng's old subordinates looked at Luan Xin with the same probing and curious eyes. Shen Tang knew that not many people knew this information, at least it was not made public under Qiu Cheng's account. It is very likely that the only people who know about it are Luan Xin and Qiu Cheng, and it is even possible that even Qiu Cheng is kept in the dark. Seeing Luan Xin's expression slightly twitching due to her inquiry, Shen Tang changed the topic directly.
Waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no, this is not right."
Luan Xin asked: "What's wrong?"
"Civil and military fortunes all originate from the national destiny. The destiny of the country comes from under the rule, including but not limited to people's hearts and livelihood. , Civil Affairs... Does Zheng Qiao have these? If he worked hard, how could millions of refugees respond to Huang Lie's call in these years? "No matter how Shen Tang calculates, Zheng Qiao's national destiny cannot be profitable, let alone using military force to buy it?" A group of brave warriors fought for him.
She has worked very hard over the years, relying on a pitiful piece of land to save a little bit of national fortune, and she is still struggling every year.
Why is Zheng Qiao so generous?
Shen Tang can’t help but “hate the rich”!
Unexpectedly, Luan Xin looked at Shen Tang and then at Qi Shan, who was in the first place diagonally, with a slightly strange look on his face. Qi Shan noticed his gaze, raised his eyes and said: "A gentleman stands upright in the world and walks the right path in the world. Why do you need to learn the methods of the heretics?"
Luan Xin: "..."
< br>
Shen Tang: "???"
Her intuition told her that Yuanliang was unscrupulous again.
In fact, he didn't hide anything. Both he and Chu Yao hoped that Shen Tang would take the right path and the high road from the beginning, rather than the heretical way. What is heresy? Obtaining national destiny is not the only way to manage territory diligently, there is a shortcut.
Shen Tang almost jumped up: "Shortcut?"
Qi Shan: "It's useless even if my lord knows, you can't leave."
Shen Tang angrily knocked on the table in protest.
"Why can't I leave? Is there a broken sign on this road saying 'Shen Tang and dogs are not allowed'?"
Luan Xin: "..."
My lord, this is not a secret at all.
Several Qiu Cheng’s former subordinates who attended the morning meeting also came to their senses, their eyes widening - wasn’t the conversation too full of information?
Qishan: "Because my lord's way of being a prince is special."
I don't know the specific name, but it must be related to farming.
Qiucheng's old department: "..."
Is this simply a publicity stunt?
The "shortcut" mentioned by Qi Shan is actually the way of using the princes to the extreme. There is a typical example. There was a king who had a dissolute and dissolute character. Originally, he was incompatible with the position of king, but he couldn't stop this man's bad luck. After he succeeded to the throne, the way of the princes was to "luckily think about Shu", and he I don't like government affairs either, so I simply obeyed my desire and became a hands-off shopkeeper.
From the time he ascended the throne to the time he was overthrown, he never went to court for a single day, just because he really transformed into a flower to have fun and indulge in as much as he wanted!
If my protagonist wants to take a shortcut, how can she do it?
Shen Tang: "..."
A mouthful of old blood choked in his heart.
“Why are there such weird ways of princes?”
Qishan said: "There is also the way of the king and the princes to 'enclose the wolf and live in Xu'. From the time he succeeded to the throne to the destruction of the country, there have been constant wars, both external and internal. Compared to managing the territory bit by bit to gain national destiny, it is obvious that It is easier to indulge. "
If the way of the scribes is to inquire into the heart, the way of the princes is more like an evil ghost trying to arouse the greatest desire in the monarch's heart until the king succumbs to the evil ghost. In the more than two hundred years since the birth of the Thief Star, so many countries have changed frequently, which is also related to this.
It was precisely because of their understanding that he and Chu Yao made the same choice tacitly, hoping that the Lord would be in the right position and follow the right path, even if the pace was slower. The people who joined later didn't mention it, either because they had the same idea, or they thought the person who came first mentioned it.
“This setting is so unfair to me!” Shen Tang felt like she was going to have mammary gland hyperplasia with anger, feeling aggrieved and depressed. “Since I can’t leave, what’s the point of hiding it from me?”
Pray for good: “Yes.”
Shen Tang is going to break the casserole and ask the truth today.
"What's the point? They are already farming anyway!" "I'm worried that my lord can't wait to plant the land in other people's homes."
In order to have more land to plant, Then there must be no war?
In fact, he had many private discussions with Chu Yao, but he still couldn’t understand why his lord’s inner desire was farming. This thing had nothing to do with worldly desires such as money, power, power, and sex. son relationship. But given the facts, I accepted it.
Shen Tang: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"Ahem, let's change the topic back." She chose to change the topic. The topic just now was too It hurt her heart, "If Zheng Qiao really relies on this method to forcefully extend his life, It makes sense. But we will have a tough battle... By the way, what is the highest level of strength among Zheng Qiao's warriors? "
Luan Xin said: "Sixteenth grade."
Shen Tang just wanted to say it was okay.
Unexpectedly, Luan Xin added: "Two people."
Shen Tang: "..."
At this time, there was an old member of Qiu Cheng who couldn't hold it in any longer.
"There is not only one person, why two people?"
Luan Xin said: "Because the other person did not go out."
It was Zheng Qiao who forcibly promoted him, so the outside world naturally doesn't know.
"Why do you know so clearly?"
Shen Tang interrupted appropriately to suppress any conflicts that might arise.
“Two sixteenth-level masters, with this strength and an elite team, can sweep not only the northwest countries, but sweep less than half of them. But I see Zheng Qiao and the coalition forces fighting a few big battles. The later the battle, the smaller the advantage Zheng Qiao has..."
This is different from what Luan Xin said.
Luan Xin: "The way of princes is the same as that of scribes. The stronger the strength, the greater the burden, and the more careful use is required. Some even require longevity in exchange. Most of Zheng Qiao is the same."
Zheng Qiao Is he a life-loving person?
Although he was afraid of death, he was even more afraid of not being crazy enough. Countless people are now paying for the pain they suffered when they were young.
Shen Tang felt inexplicably that an arrow had hit his knee.
If risking one's life is the criterion for measuring strength, then her way of being a prince...is she considered strong or useless?
Shen Tang wanted to talk about something, but Qi Shan happened to have a scratchy throat. He looked at her and coughed twice, his eyes filled with unkindness.
The meaning is very clear——
Don’t go too far in the morning meeting.
Shen Tang could only suppress his thoughts, change the topic to the right track, and discuss with everyone how many troops would be appropriate to send out this time. It was also at this time that Luan Xin and all Qiu Cheng's old men realized where Shen Tang's military strength beyond normal logic came from.
The co-author drew the garrison at Yonggu Pass!
This was something they couldn't even think of at that time.
This time, Shen Tang wanted to concoct it again.
Qi Shan shook his head, not agreeing.
Before he came, he discussed with Chu Yao about sending troops to participate in the Dragon Slaying Bureau, and also mentioned the issue of troop strength. The two of them had a tacit understanding and agreed that no more garrison troops from Yonggu Pass could be transferred.
“Why not? Shiwu is not a threat enough now.”
Qishan said: "It does not pose a threat, but -"
"But what?"
"Before coming, Wuhui said bluntly, 'In this dragon-slaying round, if we don't have an absolute Even if there is no chance of winning, the loss of troops cannot be controlled, and the troops stationed at Yonggu Pass cannot be moved lightly. This is also for the sake of border peace, even if there is no threat on the face of Shi Wuming."
With these words, Shen was successfully dispelled. Tang’s thoughts.
If you don’t move these elites, the rest will be uncontroversial.
With Shen Tang's original troops and the troops integrated with Qiu Cheng's old troops, it would not be too shabby to be sent to the Dragon Slaying Bureau. It's just that the two armies have different training methods, and some areas still need further adjustment. The increase in troop strength means that the supply of food and grass will also increase, which will be a test for the rear supply line. The manpower to transport food, the routes to transport food, and the troops to transport food and supervise the army all need to be carefully considered and carefully considered.
Except for the distant topic at the beginning, the rest of the morning meeting was spent discussing and discussing these topics. To the surprise of Qiucheng's old subordinates, Shen Tang did not avoid them because they were newly promoted and still in the "internship observation period". Instead, he made reasonable arrangements based on each person's ability. The original old man did not raise any objections or show any dissatisfaction.
Finally——
"Will Zhengyi go out with the army this time?"
Shen Tang adheres to the principle of giving sweet dates after squeezing.
Although Luan Xin's scribes can bring rain, his resume is not comparable to that of Hu Caoba. He seems to be a more radical literati scribe than Qi Shan. Shen Tang let him work in Hu Cao, and occasionally let him ride on familiar battlefields.
Luan Xin was surprised: "If we go out, the cotton field..."
Shen Tang said: "Those who have calculated it first, the farming fortune this year is fair, and the drought has eased. Even if there is a drought, this The construction of canals and wells in a few months should be able to alleviate the problem for a while. The "good weather" will ensure a smooth harvest this year. Now that there is a batch of drought-resistant cotton seeds, the problem should not be big. Zhengyi is familiar with the situation in the Dragon Slaying Bureau and also knows Zheng Qiao's side. It would be best if he is willing to join the battle. "
For this reason, Luan Xin naturally agreed.
Luan Xin was the first to decide, followed by Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng seemed a little surprised to be named.
According to Shen Tang's temperament, she likes to have both rain and dew, and takes turns going out to the battle and looking after the house. Jiang Sheng's scribe's ways are of little use on the battlefield, so he will most likely stay behind to look after the situation this time. Faced with his doubts, Shen Tang's response was simple: "Didn't I owe you a head before? Try to get this one."
Zheng Qiao's head was reserved for Jiang Sheng, the perfect scribe. Tao, that’s really perfect. Although it is difficult, what if?
Jiang Sheng accepted.
The third person on the list is not in the morning meeting.
Shen Tang: "Let Tunan join the battle this time."
The third person is Ning Yan.
If Ning Yan were here this time, I believe she would definitely fight for her reason, just to avenge her late husband Yan'an, and take his bones back to her hometown, where the fallen leaves return to their roots. Shen Tang is a considerate master and will naturally try his best to help his subordinates achieve their goals.
These three people are easy to arrange, but others are in trouble.
Stay here to look after the house, overqualified for use.
Take it away, you won’t feel safe in your home nest.
After all, there is still a lack of people to make trouble.
Shen Tang's eyes rolled around as he looked at Qiu Cheng's old men who were present. He seemed to be thinking about something, which made them uncomfortable.
