Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Personal Conquest (Part 2) [Two in One]
The Miaojiang River is one of the most important rivers in the northwest of the mainland.
The overall flow direction is from west to east.
Its branches are intricate, and the main vein is shaped like a giant dragon about to take off. The river is winding and flows through Yanzhou and Qianzhou, like a natural moat separating the two places. The Miaojiang River is only a dozen feet at its narrowest point and more than twenty miles at its widest point.
This section of the Yan-Qian boundary is between the upper reaches and the middle reaches.
Before the flood season, the water flow is gentle.
As long as it is not a drought year, during the flood season, this section of the Miaojiang River will rise rapidly, irrigating and nurturing life on both sides. But on the contrary, the river will also become turbulent. At this time of year, the glaciers in the upper reaches of the Miao River are gradually melting.
"...According to the location where the national seal appeared last night, Zheng Qiao should be in Aoshan, Qianzhou, which is this place."
Chu Yao pointed to the map above the river. Location. This place is also a strategic location carefully selected by the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces. The initial plan was to prepare to attack this place before Zheng Qiao could react. After establishing a firm foothold, they would set up offensive and defensive lines and move step by step. Who would have thought that Zheng Qiao would go on a personal expedition as soon as he came up, completely disrupting the coalition's plans and putting pressure on the coalition.
What pressure?
As the attacking party, the coalition forces cross the river and there are great risks. Zheng Qiao could even take advantage of the moment when the army was not yet stable in crossing the river - for example, some of the troops had already landed ashore while others were still crossing the river. At this time, it was a good opportunity for the troops to be unable to connect with each other, the ranks and formations were in chaos, and they had not yet established a firm foothold. , attacking at this time is the so-called "attack halfway through".
That’s all.
The most troublesome thing is that Zheng Qiao has the national seal in his hand, and Qianzhou is still within his border. He is currently marching on the expedition in person, which can even affect the water flow of the Miao River to some extent, such as causing fog to rise on the river, blowing a Strong winds even made it more difficult for boats to sail on the already fast-flowing Miao River. In this situation, it is really not appropriate to have a head-on confrontation. So Chu Yao slid his fingers and followed the map to another location.
Proposed a suggestion: "My lord can recommend himself to the leader of Huang Alliance to fight, and let the main force of the alliance army attract the main force of Zheng Qiao. Our troops will come here along the Miao River, attack the city and land on the shore, and march around to the flank of Aoshan. See you again then. I think Alliance Leader Huang will agree.”
On the surface, he is going deep behind enemy lines as a surprise soldier.
In fact, they were out of sight of the Allied forces to see the situation and fish.
If you stay here all the time and face Zheng Qiao's main force, it's not a matter of going into battle or not. How can you stand on the wall and watch your allies play their trump cards with so many pairs of eyes staring at them?
Shen Tang frowned: "It is unlikely that Huang Lie will agree to 'leave alone' with our troops all the way. There is a high probability that he will find someone who is not pleasing to him to follow. I don't know what the leader Huang is planning..."< br>
Ning Yan also thought of a more fatal detail.
“I’m afraid it won’t work here.”
Chu Yao asked Ning Yan with his eyes.
She said solemnly: "Xingning told me before that Zheng Qiao never gave up the search for the national seal, and he once doubted the lord, but gave up due to various reasons. He was so big last night array , there is no way that there is no response from my lord."
Shen Tang nodded: "There is indeed something wrong with the national seal."
Zheng Qiao's national seal is provocative, and her temper is very irritable. Very, can you pamper him? He wanted to roar back several times, but was forced to suppress it by Shen Tang. Otherwise, he would have seen the Oolong and the Golden Dragon confronting each other across the river last night.
This is what Ning Yan is worried about: "Zheng Qiao has probably determined the identity of the lord last night. If the lord leaves the main force and takes a detour to land, once it exceeds the maximum sensing range of the two national seals, Zheng Qiao will be able to detect the movement of his lord."
Zheng Qiao may not know what Shen Tang is doing, but he definitely knows that Shen Tang is not well-intentioned and cannot be defensive.
Qianzhou has a vast territory, but there are only a few valuable strategic locations. Zheng Qiao will wait and see if they can't protect them.
At that time——
We will be doomed if we encounter Zheng Qiao’s main force.
Shen Tang nodded: “The sheep enters the tiger’s mouth.”
Chu Yao felt ashamed and said: "This matter is due to Yao's lack of thought."
Shen Tang waved his hands indifferently and said: "Who can really say that there is no perfect plan? If this is the case, why are we holding a meeting here? ,No Is Wu Hui’s plan feasible if everyone works together to find out the gaps? Tunan’s worries are justified.”
Shen Tang rested his chin on one hand and pointed at the table with his other hand. Rhythm. She looked around the people in the camp and came up with an idea: "If we combine the two, it will confuse Zheng Qiao, and he won't be able to find it."
"Combine it?"
Shen Tang Show a touch of yourself Xin smiled slyly and said: "Since Zheng Qiao can sense me through the national seal, all he needs to do is ensure that the national seal is always within his sensing area. He doesn't know the person 'Shen Tang', he only recognizes the national seal." ”
When she said this, the staff members who were familiar with Shen Tang's temper all showed confused expressions. Shen Tang, who was eager to be praised, suddenly fell down: "No, what are your expressions? I think my proposal is great. Ah, it is very deceptive, and it may be able to firmly attract Zheng Qiao's main troops..."
Jiang Sheng probed carefully.
"Lord, do you want to surprise me?"
He asked rather tactfully.
Actually, he asked Shen Tang if he planned to take a small group of soldiers to act alone and get stuck in the sensing range of the national seal.
Shen Tang asked in return: "Otherwise? We value troops more than numbers! We want to win with cunning tactics. What's the use of having more people?"
Jiang Sheng and others decisively objected: "No!"
This is too risky.
Is this called "the sheep entering the tiger's mouth"?
However, Gu Chi was not among the counselors who expressed opposition. He even smiled inappropriately, which attracted several pairs of eye rolls, including a death glare from Bai Su.
His smile froze and he whispered: "I'm afraid you may have misunderstood my lord, and my lord has also misunderstood your plans."
The two minds are not the same at all.
We can still communicate back and forth.
Gu Chi bit the bullet and pretended to be a "roundworm in my lord's stomach" and said: "My lord's idea is to entrust the national seal to one of us to confuse Zheng Qiao's judgment, while he himself Lead the troops to the shore and circle to the enemy's flank to contain them."
Shen Tang was confused: "Don't you understand it that way?"
Everyone: "..."
As the head of the country, Shen Tang can hand over the national seal to a second person in two ways while she is alive.
The first is [Abdication], the replacement of the old and the new, the old king will lose control of the national seal at the Zen Ceremony; the second is [Tuogu], designating one or more ministers as the national seal temporary holder. Shen Tang now has no heirs and no recognized heir, so she has no one to rely on, but she can get a bug and designate herself as the target of being trusted.
The national seal in this state can be taken back by her at any time. Even if an outsider kills the minister, he cannot take away the national seal unless she is also given away. Shen Tang said matter-of-factly: "Anyway, there is no explicit article saying that you can't do this. In other words, it can be done as long as there are no clear regulations, don't you think?"
Everyone: "..."< br>
How could they, who were so well-behaved, think that they could still operate like this, asking the entrusting monarch to designate themselves as the target of the entrusted orphan... What kind of idle monarch would do this?
Shen Tang said seriously: "We can give it a try."
She bet that Zheng Qiao would never think of this operation!
This is her only idea.
Everyone: "..."
Okay, okay...
Then the question comes again -
Who will be the unlucky guy left behind?
Being left behind is, of course, a sign of being trusted by the lord, but it also means having to deal with the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces, which is tiring and tiring. My lord has become increasingly angry at them these days, and it would be very frustrating if they want to stay.
Shen Tang’s eyes wandered among them one by one.
The people who were glanced at all swallowed nervously.
Shen Tang couldn’t decide either.
It’s not that she doesn’t have a suitable candidate, but that her choice will lead to an uneven bowl of water. As a Duan Shui master, how could he make this mistake? So she decided: "Let's draw lots."
All she had to do was write the words "fair and just" on her face. Kang Shi's face turned livid. Everyone here is a smart person, who is the most suitable candidate in Shen Tang's mind? Is there any point in guessing?
Yes, Shen Tang's most desirable candidate is him.
The so-called drawing of lots is just a fig leaf.
With his luck, he will definitely win the lottery.
So this is no different than naming names.
Shen Tang used the pen holder as a lottery holder and everyone drew lots.
Even though Kang Shi was the last one to draw lots, only his sign had the red word "Tuogu" written on it, while the others' wooden lots were all blank. There is really no suspense about this result...
Kang Shi: "..."
Shen Tang held his hand with both hands and solemnly asked: "Ji Shou, This important task will be left to you."
Kang Shi: "..."
Under the gaze of all his colleagues, he could only swallow the bitter pill and try his best to smile: " You must live up to your lord’s trust!”
When Shen Tang heard this, his face was filled with relief.
I said three good things in a row.
Although the general direction has been set, there are still many problems in actual implementation, ranging from transporting grain and crossing rivers to marching and camping. Anticipate various emergencies in advance, and then make hypothetical responses to these situations...
It can be said that everything is meticulous.
This meeting was caused by your words and my words for a long time.
After two hours, the meeting came to an end.
Shen Tang rubbed his ears that were buzzing and had auditory hallucinations, and drank half a glass of ice water to wake himself up, because there was still a "tough battle" ahead.
This meeting is all about our own ability to cross the river independently. If there is any obstruction from Huang Lie's side, all assumptions will be in vain. Shen Tang was also unhappy when she thought of Huang Lie. Even after she joined, Huang Lieming's attitude on the surface could be described as "conniving", but Shen Tang still didn't have the slightest fondness for him.
The reason was that the battle in Luxia County caused her impression of this person to drop below a negative level - Huang Lie was born in the lower class of the market, but how many innocent bones did he step on?
No one can tell clearly.
Even if outsiders forget Huang Lie's stains because of the flowers blooming and the fire cooking oil, Shen Tang remembers them.
Unknowingly, we wandered into the temporary school grounds to relax.
The sound of weapons clashing attracted her attention.
On the school field, the two men clashed.
One person holds a heavy hammer, and the other person holds a spear.
Unfortunately, Shen Tang still had an impression of both of them.
Both of them were riding ordinary war horses, and they did not wear martial armor. They probably banned martial arts in advance. The two of them were each riding a war horse. The moment their eyes met, they galloped towards each other and struck each other. All murderous intentions are hidden in the clatter of horse hooves.
Ding ding ding——
Two war horses staggered and weapons clashed.
Yang Ying took a dexterous route with the gun, but at the same time, she did not lose the momentum of moving forward without retreating, and the clever use of four or two moves was also just right. Lu Ji, who holds a heavy hammer, is not as flexible in comparison, but he has the courage to defeat all methods.
"Okay!"
Faced with the oncoming heavy hammer, Yang Ying instantly leaned back, then bent her body to the side of the war horse. She controlled the rope with one hand, integrating her waist and horse, completely hiding her body. To the side of the war horse. At the same time, he urged the war horse to gallop and accelerate, and suddenly drew out the spear in his hand.
Such a handsome and neat "hiding in the stirrup", which is really impossible without any skills, attracted waves of applause.
Shen Tang said: "Isn't this considered 'avoiding the hammer and hiding the stirrup'?"
Yang Ying concentrated on not being disturbed by the outside world.
Silver light flashed, and the energy was overwhelming.
Forcing Lu Ji to withdraw his hammer and defend, the two distanced themselves again.
Shen Tang couldn't help but look at the spectator who shouted the loudest, Yunche, the main rider under Huang Lie's tent. As a player who is also good at using guns, Yang Ying's performance aroused his rare competitiveness. A pair of eyes stared at the two people on the field intently, their eyes bright.
The arc trajectories formed by the heavy hammer and the spear clashed and entangled in the air. When they broke through the air, there seemed to be a low roar of thunder.
Although Yang Ying has been practicing for a shorter period of time than Lu Ji, the two agreed in advance to ban their hands and only rely on the skills of their hands and feet to determine the outcome. Naturally, the two men, who had almost the same talent, were inseparable from each other. Exchanging defense and offense, the horse under his crotch also changed its position. The sound of hoofbeats and neighing continued.
"Watch the move!"
Yang Ying shouted.
The spear in his hand thrust out with all his strength, and the gun body formed an arc, like a spiritual snake swimming close to a heavy hammer. The target was Lu Ji's face. Naturally, Lu Ji refused to give in. His waist and shoulders were united, and the huge force was transferred to his arms, and he hit the barrel of the spear with a heavy hammer.
This attack did not determine the outcome.
As the two people's moves changed faster and faster, their figures became blurred. Finally, it was difficult for ordinary people's naked eyes to capture the clear moves, and the flying sparks became more dense, making people think of the word "Fire Trees and Silver Flowers". . It wasn't until their physical strength began to decline that the frequency dropped. However, they were both stubborn and refused to admit defeat. They all gritted their teeth and refused to give in.
Until the last time——
The hammer and the spear clashed again.
Yang Ying was so shocked that she dropped her spear.
Lu Ji's crimson face dripping with hot sweat finally showed a smile of victory: "Shengmei, I won this time!"
Yang Ying rubbed her wrist .
"You win, you win, you strike too hard."
I don't know how Lu Ji practiced, but his strength was amazing. Yang Ying rarely had a chance of winning in sparring with her, but in the end he lost due to lack of physical strength. Or out of strength. This shows that she is still too weak and her shortcomings need to be made up for quickly.
Lu Ji put away the heavy hammer and jumped off the horse.
She patted the war horse's neck: "Thank you for your hard work."
If the two of them could not tell the winner, the war horse would be overwhelmed first.
As he said that, Lu Ji saw Shen Tang and was shocked. He suppressed his excitement and stepped forward to salute: "Lu Ji has met my lord!"
Yang Ying also stepped forward to salute.
