Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Personal Conquest (Part 2) [2-in-1]
The Miaojiang River is one of the most important rivers in northwest China.
The overall flow direction is from west to east.
Its branches are intricate and complex, and the overall shape of the main vein is 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 narrowest point of the Miaojiang River is only more than ten feet. , the widest point is more than twenty miles.
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, the glaciers in the upper reaches of the Miaojiang 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 his finger at the position above the river on the map. This place was also a strategic location carefully selected by the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces. The initial plan was to attack this place before Zheng Qiao could react, and then set up offensive and defensive lines after establishing a firm foothold. They were making preparations step by step. Who knew that Zheng Qiao would lead the expedition himself as soon as he came up, completely disrupting the coalition's plans and putting pressure on the coalition.
What pressure?
As the offensive side, the coalition forces have great risks in crossing the river. Zheng Qiao can even use the army to cross the river when it is not stable - for example, part of the troops have landed ashore, and another part of the troops are still crossing the river. At this time, the head and tail cannot be connected to provide support. , the ranks of the army are in chaos, and there is no good opportunity to gain a firm foothold. To attack at this time is the so-called "attack halfway through".
If that's all it is.
The most troublesome thing is that Zheng Qiao has the national seal in his hands, 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 form on the river, strong winds to blow, and even causing the current situation to rise. The fast-moving Miaojiang River is even more difficult to sail. In this situation, it is really not suitable to confront the enemy head-on. So Chu Yao slipped his fingers and followed the map to another location.
He made a suggestion: "My lord can recommend himself to the leader of the Huang Alliance for a battle, 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. We will see you later. I want to come to the leader of the Huang Alliance. promise."
Ostensibly, they were sent as surprise troops to penetrate behind enemy lines.
In fact, they were out of sight of the Allied forces to observe 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' our troops all the way. There is a high probability that he will find someone unpleasant to follow. I don't know what Alliance Leader Huang has in mind..."
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. He also doubted the lord for a time, but gave up due to various reasons. He had such a big battle last night, lord. There’s no way there’s no response.”
Shen Tang nodded: "There is indeed something strange about the national seal."
Zheng Qiao's national seal is provoking, and her national seal has a very bad temper. How can she spoil him? She wanted to roar back several times, but Shen Tang forcibly suppressed it. Otherwise, we would have seen Wulong and Jinlong last night. , the scene of two dragons confronting each other across the river.
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, Zheng Qiao will be able to detect the lord once it exceeds the maximum sensing range of the two national seals. movement."
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. If they can't be secured, Zheng Qiao will wait and see.
By then——
If our side encounters Zheng Qiao's main force, it will be doomed.
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: "How can anyone really claim to have a complete plan? If so, why are we holding a meeting here? Aren't we all working together to find out and fill in the gaps? Wu Hui's plan is feasible, and Tu Nan is also worried. reason."
Shen Tang supported her chin with one hand and pointed at the table with her other hand, tapping, tapping, tapping in a rhythmic manner. She looked around the people in the tent and came up with an idea: "If we combine the two, we can confuse Zheng Qiao. I want to come to him." I can’t find it either.”
"Combined?"
Shen Tang showed a confident and cunning smile, and said: "Since Zheng Qiao can sense me through the national seal, then just make sure that the national seal is always within his sensing area. He doesn't know 'Shen Tang', he just Recognize 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 wait for praise, 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 attract Zheng Qiao’s main troops..."
Jiang Sheng probed carefully.
"My lord, you want to take things by surprise?"
He asked this question rather tactfully.
In fact, he was asking Shen Tang if he planned to act alone with a small group of soldiers, stuck in the sensing range of the national seal.
Shen Tang asked back: "Otherwise? The strength of troops is more valuable than the numbers! We want to win with cunning tactics. What's the use of having more people?"
Jiang Sheng and others decisively expressed their opposition: "No!"
This is really too risky.
This is called "the sheep entering the tiger's mouth", right?
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 am afraid that you may have misunderstood the lord's intention, and the lord has also misunderstood your plans."
The two parties' ideas 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, and then he will lead his troops to land and go around to the enemy." Send troops to the flanks to contain them."
Shen Tang was confused: "Don't you understand it this way?"
Everyone: "..."
As the head of the country, Shen Tang can hand over the national seal to a second person to hold 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 temporary holders of the national seal. 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 "left alone".
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 killed. Shen Tang said matter-of-factly: "Anyway, there is no clear text saying that You can’t do it like this. In other words, as long as there are no clear regulations, it can be done, don’t you think?”
Everyone: "..."
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 being entrusted... What kind of idle monarch would do such a thing?
Shen Tang said seriously: "We can give it a try."
She bets Zheng Qiao would never think of this operation!
This is her only idea.
Everyone: "..."
OK, OK...
Then the problem comes again——
Who will be the unlucky one 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 been getting angry with them these days, so they want to stay. I don't know yet. How sad.
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 her choice will cause the bowl of water to be uneven. As a master of carrying water, how can you make this mistake? So she decided: "Let's draw lots."
All he needs to do is write the words "fair and just" on his 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 it's 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 lot had the red word "Tuogu" written on it, while the others' wooden lots were all blank. There was really no suspense about this result...
Kang Shi: "..."
Shen Tang held his hand with both hands and said solemnly: "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: "I will never let down my 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 the actual implementation, ranging from transporting grain, 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 stunned by your words and mine for a long time.
Two hours later, 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 was all about being able to cross the river independently. If there was any obstruction from Huang Lie, all assumptions would be in vain. Thinking of Huang Lie, Shen Tang was also unhappy. Even after she joined, Huang Lie's attitude on the face was clear It can be described as "indulging", but Shen Tang never had the slightest fondness for him.
The reason was that the battle in Luxia County made her impression of this person drop to 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 impressions of both of them.
The two of them were riding ordinary war horses, and they were not wearing any martial arts armor. They probably had banned martial arts in advance. The two of them were riding on war horses. The moment their eyes met, they galloped towards each other and struck each other. All murderous intentions were hidden in the clatter of horses' hooves. in the sound.
Ding ding ding——
Two war horses crossed each other, weapons clashed.
Yang Ying took a dexterous route with the gun, but at the same time, he did not lose the momentum of moving forward without retreating. He also used the skill of moving a thousand pounds in four or two. Lu Ji, who was holding a heavy hammer, was not so flexible in comparison, but he had the power to break through ten thousand people. The pride of law.
"good!"
Facing 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 the waist and horse, and completely hiding her body to the side of the war horse. At the same time, she drove the war horse to gallop and accelerate. , the spear in his hand suddenly came out.
Such a handsome and neat "hiding in the stirrup", which is really impossible to do without any skills, attracted waves of applause.
Shen Tang said: "Isn't this considered 'avoiding the hammer and hiding the stirrup'?"
Yang Ying is focused and not disturbed by the outside world.
The silver light flashes, and the energy is overwhelming.
Lu Ji was forced to withdraw his hammer and return to defense, and the two distanced themselves again.
Shen Tang couldn't help but look at the loudest spectator, Huang Lie's main rider Yun Ce. As a player who is also good at using guns, Yang Ying's performance aroused his rare competitive spirit. A pair of eyes stared at the two people on the field intently. His eyes were bright.
The arc trajectories formed by the heavy hammer and the spear clashed and entangled in the air, and 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 of them 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 have almost the same talent, fought inextricably. They exchanged defense and offense, and their hips The dismounted war horses also changed their positions, and the sound of hoofbeats and neighing continued.
"Watch the move!"
Yang Ying shouted loudly.
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 did not give in. His waist and shoulders were united, and his huge strength followed his luck. to the arm, and 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 bodies became blurred. Finally, it was difficult for ordinary people's naked eyes to capture clear moves, and the flying sparks became more dense, making people think of the word "Fire Trees and Silver Flowers". Until the two people began to gain physical strength. The frequency dropped after the decline, but they were all stubborn and refused to admit defeat. They all gritted their teeth and refused to give in.
Until the last time——
The heavy hammer and the spear clash again.
Yang Ying was so shocked that she lost her spear.
Lu Ji's crimson face dripping with sweat finally showed a smile of victory: "Shengmei, I won this time!"
Yang Ying rubbed her wrist.
"You win, you win, but your attack is too harsh."
I don’t know how Lu Ji practiced, but her strength was astonishing. Yang Ying rarely had a chance of winning against her in sparring. In the end, she was defeated by lack of physical strength or strength. It can be seen that she is still too weak, and her shortcomings must be dealt with quickly. Just make up for it 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 can no longer tell the winner, the war horse will 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.
