stand back, let me come

Chapter 1274: One Battle to Decide the Southwest (XI) [Happy National Day]

The efficiency of the Southwestern Allied Forces was much worse than expected.

Shen Tang once suspected that they were preparing to surround but not attack, trying to trap the main force of Kangguo here. However, judging from the pressure of food and grass in the rear, it was still unclear who would be the one to die. The allied forces did not make any move, so Shen Tang was happy to continue training the navy, and he never had too much experience.

  The actual reason?

This brings us to Cui Zhi.

Cui Zhi's early departure from the camp disrupted the Southwest Alliance's battle rhythm. As one of the core leaders of this battle, his absence was more than just a matter of missing a person. Even if he recommended Mei Meng, Mei Jinghe was not a member of the Cui family, and the generals who had a thousand connections with the Cui family would not easily obey her. The two big Buddhas of the Southwest Alliance, Luo Yuan and Gongyang Yongye, were even more unable to command.

The delay beyond expectations is also based on this.

The sorrow and the blessing of the blessings, the blessings of the blessings.

I don't know if it's because this world has supernatural powers like Wenxin Wudan, or because of other reasons, the weather changes are more complicated. The time of wind direction change is not fixed every year. Even fishermen who have made a living on the river all their lives dare not say that they have completely figured out the rules. Good and bad are interdependent. Mei Meng was ordered to delay time in a critical moment, but he also waited for the opportunity for the wind direction to change.

The time of day is the law governing the operation of the universe.

Literary men and women can use their words to influence the natural order, but following the natural order and going against it are two very different levels of difficulty.

To give the simplest example, in a rainy environment, if a scholar casts a spell to make the sky clear, it is against the will of heaven, while using a spell to increase the rain is in accordance with the will of heaven. The latter is much easier than the former and consumes less literary energy.

The Allied forces had the advantage of a favorable wind, which made it very convenient for them to march on the water or to clear the way. Most importantly, the main force of the tower ships was less restricted. The side with the wind was in a difficult situation, as the tower ships were subject to too much resistance, and their mobility, which was already limited by their size, would be even lower. From the perspective of the naval formation, the Southwest Allied Forces had the upper hand. Of course, this was not irreversible.

The scholars on the Kangguo side can pay a price to reverse the direction of the wind.

"As far as I know, this is Kangguo's specialty." Mei Meng, as the deputy director of the Southwest Branch, is able to handle most of the confidential information that Cui Zhi has access to. "Arrange a group of people to get rid of these first. If they can't get rid of them, they will have to contain them in front of the battle."

"This is Jiang Feng!"

The Southwest Allied Forces thought Mei Meng was too cautious, so was it necessary to send someone to ambush and assassinate him? Changing the wind direction in a certain area is not as simple as plowing a field, because the wind will flow!

Changing the wind in a small area will not last for a few breaths before it is swallowed up by the natural wind. It is basically the same as changing the direction of a drop of water and expecting it to reverse the direction of the waves. The direction of the waves will not change, but it can swallow up the drop of water.

If you want to change, the scale has to be bigger.

It has to be big enough to move left or right.

How large a range and how strong a wind must be to compete with the wind that follows the laws of nature? Rather than worrying about the weather and wasting limited energy, it is better to use the spared manpower elsewhere: "How to reverse it?"

Mei Meng asked: "Why can't it be reversed?"

She raised her eyes and looked directly at the general who questioned her decision: "Since the founding of Kangguo, there has not been a single natural disaster in the country. Before that, you should have heard about the situation in the northwest. One of the reasons is that Kangguo used the country's destiny to interfere with the weather, and the other is the assistance of capable people in the court. The combination of the two has led to Kangguo's bumper harvests in recent years."

  How big is the territory of Kangguo?

The weather within the country is controlled.

  What is a mere Jiang Feng?

Mei Meng not only had to be on guard, but also had to take the initiative, plant spies in, and look for opportunities to carry out assassination operations. Of course, it was not time to act now, and now he had to wait and see. When the two sides officially started fighting, the spies would point out the locations of these people and eliminate them.

In addition to these details, Mei Meng also has to deploy troops.

This part of the work has actually been completed for the most part. Cui Zhi left all the plans behind, and Mei Meng was responsible for the arrangement. It sounds simple, but in fact it is full of difficulties. It's not that there is a problem with the combat plan, but that the result of the troop mobilization is not convincing.

This transfer was in Cui Zhi's hands, and they obeyed.

But in Mei Meng's hands, they went back on their word.

They said that this was unfair and that was unreasonable, pretending to be fair and selfless, but in fact they were only scheming for their own benefit. It was said that Mei Meng was demoted and abandoned by the King of Qi. They did this to bully Mei Meng because he had no family to support him.

If Mei Meng was led by them or had a little stage fright, the interests of everyone would be irreconcilable. Shen Wuyou Tang had watched the good show for a few days and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.

"I can't lead you, I ...

If only one person in a group seeks personal gain, he will be criticized by his peers; if everyone in a group seeks personal gain, the fair and selfless person will become the target of public criticism. This is Mei Meng's current situation.

"General Qi, won't you help?"

Qi Cang and Mei Meng should have a good relationship. Or is Qi Cang really just a person who wants to have fun, and he will watch anyone's fun?

"Help her? She doesn't need help. If she can't even suppress this little situation, she's not Mei Jinghe." Qi Cang thought of the people in the Southwest Alliance and sneered, "Isn't it easy to deal with the mob? They have pigtails all over their heads. Let's see if you dare to catch them."

Would Mei Meng not have the courage to do this?

As expected, within two days, we heard that someone was executed by military law. Mei Meng acted very quickly, and the person who wanted to plead for mercy even shouted "spare his life", but still failed to save the unlucky guy's life. Killing a chicken to scare the monkey, how can the monkey behave if the chicken is not dead?

We can only blame these chickens for their bad luck.

Haha, it’s obviously not just a few chickens that have bad luck.

Before Qin Li and several other scholars who were good at using the power of the spirit world could react, the hidden clues around them had been nipped in the bud.

"Why are you here today?" The conditions in the military camp were limited, but Shen Tang was really generous to the people she favored. She knew that Qin Li loved tea, so she would always give him a share of any good tea cakes she had, and would always send someone to take care of his daily life when he was on the march or fighting.

The first one was a prisoner.

It is said that before he was conscripted, his family was in the tea business. Under his influence, he also made good tea. Qin Li was quite satisfied with the tea brewed by this person, both in terms of temperature and taste. Today, Qin Li was busy at his desk, and he picked up the teacup at hand without raising his head. As soon as he took a sip, he found that the taste was not right. He asked the guard beside him what was going on, and the guard stammered and told the truth.

"That man committed suicide."

Qin Li's relaxed expression disappeared completely.

"Not a clean background?"

  Anyone who could be sent to Qin Li to work would have their ancestry checked. Qin Li himself had also asked about it, so how could there be any problem?

When Gu Chi saw Qin Li coming over, he knew what he was going to ask: "We stopped a woman who was about to commit suicide and got some clues from her. These people are considered the remnants of the Gao Kingdom on the surface, and they were once Wu Xian's private slaves. If they sneak in and cause any trouble, the blame will eventually be put on Wu Zhaode..."

Qin Li shook his head and said, "It can't be Wu Xian."

Wu Xian is indeed an indecisive person, but that doesn't mean he has no brains. Even if Wu Xian refuses to give up, he won't do anything small when his master is at the peak of his power. Once exposed, the whole family will be executed. With his personality, he won't take such a big risk.

It seems like someone is framing me.

Qin Li asked: "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Gu Chi said: "These people have never seen the mastermind behind the scenes. They only know that it is someone from the inner court. And wasn't the inner court at that time the royal court of Gao? Calculating the time, I do have a suspect."

Qin Li understood: "Mei Meng?"

  Gu Chi smiled and said, "It can only be her." The Lord suddenly assigned a task, saying that there might be spies lurking around Qin Li and others, and asked him to investigate secretly. Gu Chi's first reaction was outrageous, the people around the important officials were screened again and again. What spy could escape his literati's way?

As it turns out, there really is.

These spies were all insignificant little people who would not hang around Gu Chi on weekdays. They worked diligently during their time undercover, and most of them had poor backgrounds. Except for the one next to Qin Li, the other secret agents were only at the edge and could not cause much harm. Despite this, Gu Chi still felt that his reputation had been damaged.

If I poison Qin Li when making tea...

Gu Chi didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Qin Li: "What can't I think of? Can I be poisoned to death?"

The master arranged three guards for him to test the poison. If he still died after taking it, it would only prove that this was his fate. After all, he was a scholar who had mastered the way of a scholar. The strongest poison in the world could not kill him instantly. He could still wait until the doctors of Xinglin could induce vomiting and detoxify him. Compared with these worries, Qin Li was more concerned about the time when the enemy placed these spies.

  That has to go back to the Gao Kingdom War, right?

"Poison you to death? Wouldn't that make the master very sad?"

There was a hint of sourness in Gu Chi's words.

It was also at this time that he found out that the master had arranged guards for Qin Li to test poisons, three at a time. He did not even have such treatment.

Qin Li: "..."

His colleague is not in his right mind.

After Gu Chi finished his work, he went to report to Shen Tang. Except for the only one who was caught alive, all the other spies committed suicide. The scouts outside also found suspicious people and arrested them all: "How to deal with these people?"

"Killing a living person to scare the monkeys, throwing a dead person to feed the fish?"

Shen Tang wiped the silver bow in his hand with a handkerchief and said without raising his head, "The corpses have taken the poison that kills fish immediately. Isn't it murdering the fish if we throw them to feed the fish? Cut off the heads of these corpses and have the scouts throw the bodies to the Southwest Allied scouts."

Gu Chi didn't understand why the head was deliberately chopped off.

  Isn't this unnecessary?

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 southwest allied forces, and sneered: "I recognize it."

Gu Chi's heart trembled.

I immediately thought of what Shen Tang wanted to do.

Shen Tang's tone was cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "... She reaches out her hand to Gong Su. She is really not afraid of death."

  The Southwest Allied scouts looked at the enemy charging at them, all on alert, with their muscles tensed, ready to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, halfway through the charge, the enemy threw a few bloody bags at them, then made a sharp turn and retreated, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Was it a trick?

The vanguard scout ordered his men to go forward and check.

There were several headless corpses in the bag.

  Judging from the clothes on the body, he should be from Kangguo?

The scouts and others looked at each other.

They did not dare to delay and sent someone to pass the news to the camp.

Mei Meng came upon hearing the news and vaguely guessed the identities of these people.

She lowered her eyes in thought, then raised them again, sweeping her gaze across the crowd. The allies of the Allied Forces did not know the identities of these people, but they also knew that this was a provocation and humiliation by Kang Guo: "You took off the heads of the corpses and tried to scare us? Without the heads, who knows where these corpses came from?"

This method is too naive.

  Who among you here hasn't come here with swords and sabers?

What use can a few headless corpses have?

Qi Cang felt it was boring after just one look, and was about to turn around, but his ears moved slightly and his gaze turned in the direction of the flag.

The other generals were weaker than him, so their reactions were naturally not as sharp as his. It was not until the blade of light broke through the clouds, leaving a white line across the two armies on the sky, and approached the position of the banner that they were shocked and angry and attacked again: "What little thief dares to attack us!"

Sitting on the banner, the commander-in-chief of the central army holds the banner.

No matter who shot this arrow, let alone breaking the banner, even if it just touched the edge, the Southwest Alliance would lose face from now on to the future. At that moment, dozens of different colored martial energy lights swept towards the banner, determined to stop the arrow.

Qi Cang just took a look and retracted his toes.

Zhongli Fu beside him whistled.

"Who is so arrogant that he shoots the flag with an arrow?"

Qi Cang suspected that she was gloating, and he had evidence.

"General Qi won't stop it?"

Qi Cang snorted, "This arrow was shot from the opposite side. At such a long distance, it has no power. If the allied generals can't even stop this arrow, it's better to clean your neck and wait for others to chop it off, rather than go on the battlefield and embarrass yourself."

His words were quite sarcastic.

However, he didn't expect the other party to be more sarcastic.

  There is a human head strung on this big arrow!

"You still dare to come?"

Everyone looked at the head on the arrow, then the headless body on the ground, and felt as if an invisible hand had slapped them in the face. Just a slap in the face was not enough to make the other side feel relieved. The allied generals noticed that another arrow was approaching, and this time the target was not the commander's flag, but the center of the camp. Due to the distance limit, the arrow's residual power was limited, but the humiliation was immediately maximized.

Similarly, there is a human head on the big arrow.

The archer on the opposite side had the mentality of a naughty boy, deliberately teasing the allied forces, and one after another seven heads were airlifted over.

Seven human heads, seven headless bodies.

Just when everyone thought it was over.

  A sudden burst of air waves erupted from the direction of Gongyang Yongye's camp, and a shadow of a Mo Dao more than ten feet high met the eighth arrow head-on. The two collided, and the air waves caused by the collision knocked the nearby guards to the ground. The flag was cut by the air blade with several holes, and the wood chips of the flagpole as thick as a bucket flew everywhere. If he hadn't blocked this arrow, the flagpole could really be cut off by the arrow!

"A bunch of trash."

Gong Yang Yongye crushed the big arrow with one hand.

As the arrow turned into powder, a piece of paper floated out.

Gong Yangyongye glanced at it, and his martial spirit infused the paper, which seemed soft and fragile, and it was instantly sharpened. With a little skillful force from his wrist, the paper sank into the ground at Mei Meng's feet with a puff.

"For you."

I plan to write two extra stories during the National Day holiday to change my mind.

One is a crossover extra, and the other is the IF line of this world without Tangmei.
