stand back, let me come

Chapter 1245: 1245 vs. , the advantage is mine (Part ) [Seeking monthly votes]

"What's wrong with stealing the house?"

Shen Tang defended himself calmly.

"Fighting, how can fighting be considered stealing? All is fair in war, being the sixth in command is better than being a short-lived ghost! If you had this chance, would you not steal? Is it possible? I don't believe it!"

Stroking the rolled silver whip, Shen Tang sat crookedly on the stone, then reached out and took out a plump and crystal black-red plum from his arms. He rubbed it on his sleeve, took a bite, and the sour and sweet fragrance spread on his taste buds. His almond eyes narrowed slightly in happiness.

"There are more fruits in the south."

While chewing, she turned her head and asked Qin Li if he wanted to try it. Qin Li declined, so she recommended it to Gu Chi, who gave her face. In front of the indignant captives, the king and his ministers ate the plums with a crunch, and even commented on them after taking a few bites.

“It’s worthy of being raised by the royal court at a huge expense. The taste is different from ordinary ones.” There are also kinds of plums in Kangguo. They are quite large, but the taste is hard and astringent. The one in his hand is different. It has the right amount of sourness and sweetness and is full of juice. It is Gu Chi’s favorite.

He collected the kernel after he had eaten it.

After the battle, I went back to plant it in the yard and privately asked the people from Sino-Agriculture Temple to help it grow, so that I could eat it every year. Gu Chi looked at the pale-faced people and sneered, "I heard that there is a touching story behind this plum tree raised by the royal court."

Shen Tang was so focused on eating that he really didn't know.

After conquering the enemy's capital, the eunuch who did not escape offered this: "What story can a plum tree have?"

Gu Chi said: "This plum tree originally belonged to a farmer. There was a child with outstanding talent in the farmer's family. The child was taught by the son of a local wealthy family. When he recited the spiritual words, he attracted auspicious signs from heaven and earth. A dead plum tree in the family came back to life, and the branches were full of fruits. Each one was sweet and juicy. Just sniffing it would make you feel light and healthy. Rich families rushed to buy it..."

Shen Tang didn't want to listen to these nonsense: "Speak to the point."

Gu Chi said: "Snatching by trickery and force will lead to the destruction of the family."

It happened to be the birthday of the king of the country. Hearing about this, he instructed his subordinates to buy the tree at a high price. The farmer's family refused, and the five members of the family died. The plum tree was also transplanted to the royal court, and the fruits it produced every year were exclusively for the royal family to enjoy.

Shen Tang shook his head and sighed: "No wonder the country was destroyed."

He took another bite and said, "I guess it was God's instruction to me."

The captives kneeling below were so angry that their eyes were about to burst. They didn't expect Shen Tang to say such shameless words. The white-haired old man in the lead had a sharp and old-fashioned face. He looked at Shen Tang with eyes that wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood: "The first lord satisfied his appetite by only injuring five people, but you - there is no hatred or resentment between the two countries, but you ordered the massacre of tens of thousands of people, burning, killing and looting. Which of the two is worse?"

Shen Tang was almost stunned by his amazing logic.

Qin Li, who had his eyes closed to rest, was startled and opened his eyes.

"First of all, I didn't kill 10,000 people. Generally speaking, when the casualties reach 20%, the morale will almost collapse! How many soldiers does a small country have? I dare to kill 10,000 people, you have to give me this chance and don't collapse so quickly. Secondly, you think it's normal to kill five people to satisfy your appetite?" Shen Tang pointed at himself, "Finally, how can the two countries have no hatred or grudges? They both joined the Dragon Slaying Bureau to attack me. If I don't raise my knife to chop you, will I reach out and stroke your dog head to praise you?"

Lao Deng straightened his chest and said with a sullen face: "Kangguo is more unjust than Xia Jie. What's wrong with us protecting ourselves? Our country is innocent."

Shen Tang laughed: "I am a barbarian."

  I'll hit you if you want, and I'll give you a reason to give you face. Since you don't want to be shameless, don't blame her for being harsh. Shen Tang couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. For the first time, he knew that he was "more unrighteous than Xia Jie". These old men really slandered with their eyes open!

I originally wanted to see if there was anyone who could use it.

In the end, it would be better not to meet.

When we met, I got a scolding.

Shen Tang waved his hand: "Drag it down to make fertilizer."

The faces of the people below suddenly changed and they were dragged away one by one.

Curses could be heard from a distance.

Tan Ting looked at the dozen people being dragged away from him. Before he could speak, Shen Tang said, "Ahem, Wo Fei or something, just to scare them. Wang Chao has already obtained the information he wanted from them, but the specific handling still needs to be decided by Yi Yi."

  If they have done nothing evil and refuse to surrender, as long as their crimes are not punishable by death, Shen Tang can spare their lives, as long as they don't continue to commit suicide. People who have done evil? Oh, their ashes will be used as fertilizer!

Tan Ting frowned: "My Lord, you are too kind."

Shen Tang: "This..."

Tan Ting thought about it for a moment and knew what the problem was: "Qi Yuanliang himself is unorthodox and has never done good deeds in his life, but he is quite strict with others and lenient with himself. A reputation for kindness can certainly gain benefits, but if you value it too much, you will be constrained."

He had heard from Minister Chu that Qi Yuanliang, as a half-emperor's teacher, had tried to subtly guide the young master to learn the benevolent and pedantic rules more than ten years ago. Tan Ting didn't believe it at first, but now he had to believe it. What was the point of taking fertile soil from people? A large number of people had been killed, so why bother about how to deal with the bodies?

Shen Tang: "..."

Qin Li moved the corner of his lips. Gu Chi had no image burden and mercilessly mocked the person who stayed behind to supervise the country. It was convenient that Qi Yuanliang was not present. He didn't have to worry about the main objection at all.

Shen Tang: "..."

After conquering one country, Shen Tang did not continue to attack the next one.

The allied forces from the southwestern countries will definitely come, and the most important thing now is to deploy in advance to give them a surprise. Otherwise, how could Shen Tang have the time to see these prisoners? Fortunately, not all prisoners are so hateful. There are also some who can change their minds according to the situation. Seeing that the situation of their home country is over, they decisively surrender to Shen Tang in order to save their lives. With their cooperation, the deployment is much more convenient.

only--

When one of them mentioned using the national seal to repair the border barrier, Shen Tang spread his hands and said, "National seal? I have already lost the national seal. What is the difference between carrying it and carrying a locator? If there is no national barrier, then there is no border barrier."

The faces of several old ministers who surrendered turned pale.

“Lost, lost?”

  They really want to ask where it was lost and whether it is too late to pick it up.

Shen Tang said casually: "Just throw it into a stinky ditch."

He refused to reveal the whereabouts of the national seal.

  The news of the lost national seal made the surrendered soldiers regret it. If they had known that Shen was so unreliable, they would have thought more before surrendering and would not have made the decision so quickly. Without the support of the national seal, Shen Tang's troops fighting in a foreign land would be like water without a source and a tree without roots. How could they stop the elite division of the Allied Forces?

There are also people who simply don't believe Shen Tang's nonsense.

He whispered in private, "Do you believe her lies?"

Who would just throw the national seal into a stinking gutter?

"I'm afraid he is testing us..."

His guess was half right.

Shen Tang didn't take them seriously, so why would she bother to test them? Throwing the seal into the stinking ditch was indeed fake, and the real national seal was secretly given to Cui Xiao. Only when the national seal is in Cui Xiao's hands can it be perfectly concealed. This national seal is still very useful.

Only a few people knew that Cui Xiao met her.

The chaos in the southwestern continent has just begun.

Qin Li alone could match the most elite scout army. When the Southwest Allied Forces entered the range of his Scholar's Way, Shen Tang received the news. She calculated the time with her fingers and sighed: "How anxious they are, they arrived one day earlier than expected!"

You have to hurry back.

Everyone was afraid that Shen Tang would dig up their hometown like crazy.

Shen Tang said: "Let's go and meet the so-called dragon slayer!"

Qin Li also brought good news to Shen Tang.

"General Qian pretended to have a bad first battle to lure the enemy into lowering their guard, and then they won a great victory." This was also the first great victory on the front battlefield since the start of the war. Qin Li concealed the enemy casualties data mentioned by Qian Yong in his memorial and said, "It's a good sign."

Shen Tang finally sharpened the knife twice.

"It is indeed a good sign. The main battlefield is in the enemy's territory, so we can let loose!" She was still stingy and reluctant to let the main battlefield be in her own home. She deliberately led her troops to go around the enemy and lure the enemy's main force for this reason. Such a large-scale military confrontation can completely change the battlefield terrain, which also means that the efforts of the previous few years of infrastructure construction have failed and everything has to start from scratch.

Shen Tang took two steps and asked, "How many casualties did the enemy have?"

Qin Li knew that he couldn't hide it, and he was worried for Qian Yong: "70% of the enemy was wiped out, and the river was cut off..." Shen Tang stopped and said: "70%?"

As mentioned before, the casualties reached about 20%. Except for the elite divisions with strong will, the morale of the troops basically collapsed, and the combat power began to decline, and the balance of war began to tilt. Qian Yong killed 70% of the enemy. There is obviously something fishy about this ratio. Because Shen Tang did not like to kill indiscriminately. With Qian Yong's smooth and treacherous character, he would definitely not report a high number, and even if he did, he would report a low number.

"Is there something behind this?"

Qin Li said: "There was a traitor, and it almost went bad."

Shen Tang: "..."

Qin Li sighed: "After all, Ji Shou is here."

Shen Tang: "..."

Although Qin Li was understating the situation, the real situation was far more dangerous. Qian Yong signed a military order, but he was not nervous at all. If the floodgates were opened without anyone noticing, the enemy would be routed. He would have his own men take the boat and harpoon these drowning dogs one by one.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

But he forgot that there is an old saying that goes "Man proposes, God disposes"! On the night when the sluice gates were opened to release water, Qian Yong led his troops to prepare for battle, waiting for the enemy's camp to be flooded before launching an attack.

This good mood did not last long and came to an abrupt end.

There was a commotion outside the tent.

Qian Yong had just finished arming himself: "What's the commotion?"

A hurried voice came from outside the tent: "General——"

Qian Yong saw Ning Yan... no, one of Ning Yan's incarnations, coming over with a gloomy face, and there was another person being escorted behind him.

"What's going on here?"

The man being held was covered in blood, with blood gushing out of his abdomen.

Qian Yong couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw the position. Then he looked at the bloody sword in "Ning Yan's" hand, and it was not difficult to guess who had done it.

"What has this person done wrong?"

  Is it worth it for her to use her sword to destroy the other party's Dan Mansion?

This is a brutal method, no matter how great the hatred is.

"This person tampered with the opening time and water volume, and colluded with others inside and outside to set up an explosion when the gates were opened. Fortunately, we discovered it early enough to recover the losses. Otherwise, today it would not be the enemy who got into the water, but we who were drowned."

When Qian Yong heard this, his head buzzed.

The overwhelming aura from his body smashed towards the traitor.

Ning Yan used her sword to block Qian Yong's attack, preventing him from killing the witness without any carelessness: "General, this man is still useful."

Qian Yong could only force himself to suppress his murderous intent.

At the same time, I am also curious about how the traitor was exposed.

The people at the reservoir were all trustworthy, and Qian Yong even sent his own people to supervise and ensure that everything went well, but the person who came was "Ning Yan". "Ning Yan" looked a little strange.

This brings us to Kangshi.

If you cooperate with Kang Shi, something bad will inevitably happen.

Kang Jishou also knew his own problem, so he specially asked Ning Yan to help keep an eye on him. Ning Yan sent an avatar disguised as an ordinary guard to secretly read the mind. At first, there was nothing wrong, until she found that one person had no thoughts at all, and then she realized that the other party was consciously controlling the content of his thoughts, and there must be something fishy! Suddenly, she attacked and ordered people to capture him, but who knew that she really caught a big fish!

  There's a traitor!

The traitor's hiding time can be traced back to before the reservoir was built.

"The traitor has been lurking for so long?"

Qian Yong lost his composure when he heard this.

"Who sent you?"

Oh my god, I almost died for no apparent reason?

"Ning Yan" said: "A simple interrogation did not yield many clues. Based on the estimated time, the traitor was planted before the Gao Kingdom War... There is one person who is very suspicious, Mei Jinghe."

When the traitor heard the name, his whole body froze.

Qian Yong thought for a while and rubbed his eyebrows.

It's suspicious, but there's no certainty, and Ning Yan won't speak rashly. Mei Meng's ancestral home is in the northwest continent. He had a wide range of friends and amazing connections when he was young. He has been operating in the southwest Qi country for many years and is also the deputy director of the branch of the Gods Association. It is indeed possible that he has made arrangements in advance.

"So, the existence of the reservoir has long been leaked?"

Qian Yong secretly thought that Shen Tang was unreliable.

  How is it possible to keep such a huge reservoir secret?

Ning Yan said, "Half and half."

"What does this mean?"

"Just because Mei Meng knows doesn't mean the other countries in the southwest also know. Judging from the information we got from our scouts, the enemy is not on guard against unusual movements... The reservoir explosion may not be part of their plan."

Qian Yong grinned: "We are not of the same mind."

  Otherwise, why don't they share such important information?

"It's better if we are not of the same mind."

It may also be that time is tight and there is no time to communicate.

"Ning Yan" had not heard that Mei Meng appeared on the front line.

Qian Yong felt a headache when he saw the traitor.

"So, do we still have to proceed according to the plan?"

He couldn't afford to take the risk of the news leaking out.

"want!"

Two voices, one male and one female, sounded at the same time.

The woman was "Ning Yan" and the man was Kang Shi who came hurriedly. The latter had a firm look on his face and said, "Let's bet on their time!"

If we delay for two days, the enemy will be able to exchange all kinds of information.

  Why not take a gamble tonight?

The veins on Qian Yong's forehead under his helmet were throbbing.

What is there to gamble on? Do you think war is a gambling table?

But he couldn't afford to offend the two in front of him, so he just played it badly - if something really happened, he would push the two of them out to take the blame, even if he died: "Kang Jishou, are you responsible?"

"Ning Yan" said: "I'm responsible!"
