In recent times, the relationship between Gu Jianchi and Meihezi has become closer and closer.
The world only knew that Yu Jizi was in seclusion, and even everyone at Cangyun Sect thought so.
But only Gu Jianchi knew that his master was missing.
Since the end of the Cangyun Alliance a few months ago, Yu Jizi has lost contact.
During this time, many things happened in the world.
Just the fact that Nangong Bat slaughtered countless good and evil disciples in Jiuyin Mountain was a very difficult problem.
Gu Jianchi couldn't handle this kind of thing, so he wanted to ask his teacher. At the beginning, he was able to contact Yu Jizi.
Later, whether it was the Magic Sound Mirror or the Flying Crane's Message, they all fell into obscurity.
Gu Jianchi would go into the cave to ask Bai Ze almost every two days, and the answer he got was that there was no news about Yu Jizi.
There were too many things, and Gu Jianchi couldn't breathe under the pressure.
He can only share the things in his hands.
Meihezi, who is smart and very politically savvy, is naturally the best choice.
Some time ago, Gu Jianchi noticed that Meihezi wanted to enter the true core circle of power of Cangyun Sect, and at least wanted to know the information collected by Cangyun Sect's world-wide intelligence network.
Gu Jianchi agreed to her and asked her to temporarily hand over the mess of the Discipline Academy to her subordinates, and opened a fast channel for Mihezi, so that she could go to him at any time to discuss major world affairs.
Of course, Gu Jianchi naturally decided to let Meihezi be his think tank, and a lot of confidential information was no longer hidden.
Regarding the battle at Niangziguan and some of the latest news from the imperial court, he would share it with Meihezi as soon as possible.
Meihezi lived up to expectations. In just ten days, he managed to deal with all the messy things in Gu Jianchi's hands in an orderly manner.
Today, the latest battle report came from Niangziguan.
After capturing the second line of defense of Niangzi Pass, the Tianjie Middle Army launched a full-scale attack on the third line of defense of Niangzi Pass at dawn today.
Gu Jianchi was very worried about this.
Meihezi was not surprised.
The army in the middle of Tianjie gathered at the second line of defense just to recuperate, and sooner or later they would launch an attack on the third line of defense.
In terms of time, it was almost the same as Meihezi expected.
After reading the battle report, Mihezi turned her attention to the map.
Strangely, she was not looking at the strategic map of Niangziguan's defense line, but the defense map around the capital.
Gu Jianchi was very surprised and said: "Junior Sister Meihezi, do you really think that Xu Kai can't defend it for even five days?"
Meihezi said calmly: "Xu Kai's strategy and tactics were wrong from the beginning. More than five million elite armored troops were arranged by him outside Niangzi Pass, and they were all destroyed.
With all of his elite troops dead, he would naturally not be able to defend the Niangzi Pass.
It's not April yet, and the war situation in the world is still undergoing great changes.
The defense circle of the capital is not strong. With the strength of the Heavenly Destruction Legion, a few volleys can destroy the outer defense line of the capital.
Therefore, the battle in the capital will not last long.
The army on the middle road of Tianjie will definitely be able to capture Niangzi Pass in five days or ten days.
If we want to win the final victory, we must postpone the war north of the Huangyan River until August this year."
Gu Jianchi understood.
His eyes fell on the large river that showed a few characters on the map.
Only a handful of people in the world know that the imperial court formulated a top-secret battle plan at the beginning of the year.
The war in Hebei was delayed until July and August, and the embankment was dug during the rainy season when the Huangyan River had the most abundant water.
Use the surging river water to stop the heavenly army from moving south.
As long as the Huangyan River is dyked, the war can be delayed until winter.
The climate in heaven is hot and not suitable for the severe cold in the human world.
As long as the floods last for a few months, winter will begin.
At that time, the heavenly army will stop attacking.
However, according to the current situation, the fall of Niangzi Pass is imminent, and the capital's defense line is like a paper tiger.
It is simply impossible to delay the heavenly army north of the Yellow River.
The army in the middle of Tianjie does not even need to attack in its entirety. It only needs to send a part of the army to attack the capital, and the other part can cross the Huangyan River first.
Gu Jianchi frowned and said: "Judging from the existing intelligence, it will be very difficult to dig a dike to stop the enemy."
Meihezi raised his head, glanced at the ancient sword pond, and said: "Even if the embankment digging plan succeeds, it will kill three hundred enemies and lose three thousand to ourselves.
The Central Plains is the largest granary in the world, and now the Liaobei Plain has fallen into enemy hands.
Once the embankment is dug, the Central Plains will become a marshy country, and many people will die, more than those who died on the battlefield.
Most importantly, the food problem will be exposed.
There are still tens of millions of troops and civilians in Jiangnan Road and Jiannan Road, and there are also tens of millions of troops in Longyou Road under the command of Zhao Zian.
The amount of food and grass consumed by these armies every day is astronomical.
This tactic of exterminating descendants is just drinking poison to quench thirst."
Gu Jianchi didn't quite agree with this.
Yes, digging embankments to defend against enemies will indeed be despised by future generations, but this is not an ordinary conventional war, it is a war of genocide between two civilizations.
For the final victory, no matter how great the sacrifice is, it is necessary.
As Ye Xiaochuan once said, if you want the happiness of civilization, you have to experience the pain of civilization.
Through the embankment digging incident, we can actually see the strange personalities between Gu Jianchi and Meihezi.
Gu Jianchi is more like Master Yu Jizi.
And because Meihezi comes from Japan, this is an island country with a very short population and material shortage.
At their core, they are still uncivilized barbarians.
As soon as I heard that thousands of people would be lost, I was shocked.
Meihezi did not argue with Gu Jianchi, she said: "Judging from the current situation, the war situation is indeed extremely unfavorable to the human world.
However, it’s not without a turning point.”
Gu Jianchi said: "Are you saying that if Zhao Zian can send troops to support Niangzi Pass, Niangzi Pass can hold on for a longer time?"
Meihezi shook his head.
He said: "It's too late. Zhao Zian and Xu Kai both know that there is too little time, so Zhao Zian has not sent troops from Yumen Pass for a long time.
The turning point is not inside, but outside.
Senior Brother Gu, look here..."
Meihezi's slender jade finger pointed at a large area outside the Great Wall and northern Liaoning.
At this moment, the map of that area is marked with blue arrows, which is an out-and-out enemy-occupied area.
There is something unclear about Gujianchi.
Meihezi explained: "No matter where we draw troops, it is impossible to change the outcome of the fall of Niangziguan.
However, there is still room for maneuver outside Niangziguan.
The cavalry regiments of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, as well as the main force of the nine wolf clans on the grassland, did not suffer much loss in last year's Battle of Longmen.
The cavalry is very mobile and can attack the Tianjie middle legion from the outside.
Even if the Central Army cannot be defeated, the Central Army can allocate a large part of its forces to deal with it, so that they will not go south to cross the river after capturing Niangzi Pass.
Also, Zhan Ying, the commander-in-chief of the march in North Liaoning Province, is by no means a simple person. Although the battle in Shanhaiguan is now in full swing, but based on the intelligence I recently analyzed, this Zhan Ying may be able to reverse the situation in the entire northern Liaoning and even the Central Plains.
