The soldiers all wore tight-fitting military uniforms and held their swords. It was dark and it was difficult to see their faces.
Once inside, they saw a majestic general sitting high on the White Tiger Commander's throne, and below were all his staff, generals, and magicians.
Surrounding the sand table in the middle, people were coming in and out, delivering the latest information, and the situation was changing on the sand table.
This kind of sand table was created by Ye Qing, but once it became known to outsiders, in just a few years, the whole world learned about it, and kept improving it, resulting in various changes.
In addition to General Fu Bing's own magician group, there is also the support of magicians transferred by Yingzhou. On the fully simulated magic sand table, a translucent black mist can be seen, only showing the terrain of Nancang County, and a small part of it is broken.
Only by opening the reconnaissance field of view can the battle situation be clearly seen.
There is a large area of clear light between the ancient battlefield in the west of the county and Beimang Mountain, indicating that the scope of the investigation has been expanded to twenty miles.
The small yellow camp was set up at the midpoint to mark the state army's garrison. It stood still for the time being and looked majestic.
The dark line comes from the mountain pass in the north, goes south ten miles from the east, and splits into two parts halfway.
A small force clashed with the dark silver military souls, the phosphorescent Yin Cavalry, and the glorious silver-armored heroic spirits, all entangled fiercely in the wilderness.
A large force went straight south, the underworld was like the sea, the soldiers were like dragons, and they had just arrived at the ancient battlefield in the west of the county.
On the virtual ancient battlefield, ten gold-red star points fell in the swirling dance, and were attacked by the Yin Cavalry. A standard red cross was struck there, indicating the ominous atmosphere of the military strategist.
The faintly flashing brilliance on the red cross is the turbulent flow of spiritual energy caused by the fierce magic confrontation. These are the direct detection of the magician.
"The battle has been advanced...Ye Qing's march is so fast. Isn't he mainly an infantryman?"
"He has a famous red-armored cavalry, and a group of magicians is quite impressive."
"Don't underestimate it..."
Some staff members were talking in low voices, but suddenly stopped, they saw a small group of Yin Cavalry and dark silver military souls entangled in the south. The military counselor Wei Shaoyang was the mastermind. He frowned and looked at the more detailed written information submitted by the scouts - even the gods.
Everyone participated, adding another variable to this battle.
"Both sides are very determined to fight."
"There's something good to watch..."
"I bet Ye Qing can hold on to this wave, who will bet with me?" A close general passed a small note.
Several generals looked at him with disdain and tore up the note so as not to spoil the morale of the army.
Wei Shaoyang and other staff were not the only ones in the tent with a theatrical mentality. The generals were also looking forward to the follow-up. It is a soldier's instinct to pursue the suspense of war. Betting on winning at the opening is also common, but it should not be excessive.
Soon a brocade-robed magician came forward and covered the fog with the red cross: "You guys retreat, let the southern magician also withdraw."
"Yes, Mr. Yuanshan." This man was the leader of the general's small group of magicians. Several magicians bowed to the leader and exited the main tent. The onlookers were disappointed and very regretful.
Wei Shaoyang regretfully looked back. This meant that the intensity of the war was increasing, magic reconnaissance was becoming more and more dangerous, and his side could no longer obtain real-time information.
Master Yuanshan is familiar with the atmosphere in the army. He ignores his colleagues scratching their hearts and looks at Qin Lie: "My lord, the battlefield has been blocked by two sides... Please make a decision on how we should respond next."
"Let me think."
Qin Lie waved his hand and walked down without saying a word.
He stared coldly at the ancient battlefield obscured by black mist, with a solemn look on his face. His fingers slowly slid on the sand table, repeatedly moving through the bright reconnaissance range between the garrison camp, the ancient battlefield in the west of the county, and Beimang Mountain.
Master Yuanshan did not push him. The information he had disclosed before had been revealed in private. After so many years of ups and downs, I believe that my lord is not a fool who is blinded by his greed.
Wei Shaoyang looked at the tall and thin Yuanshan Zhenren and stared at the range of movement of Qin Lie's fingers on the sand table. A possibility suddenly occurred to him. He couldn't say it face to face, so he sent a message secretly and asked: "Could it be that my lord has changed?"
Do you want to rescue Ye Qing?"
"Huh? How can you tell?" Qin Lie was noncommittal, with no expression on his rough face.
"My lord, you may have deliberately let the enemy out, causing Ye Qing to be damaged by the frontal impact, and also depleting the enemy's strength. The advantage of a fisherman is the correct way of war... and you participated in the battle, and even won the victory, no matter what, it is meritorious.
I can explain everything above."
Wei Shaoyang thought about it and analyzed his views on this plan based on his duties as a counselor: "As for Ye Qing, who was clearly instructed to... When the battlefield is fierce, it is normal for him to be accidentally injured. There is no need to kill this person. After all, he is a direct descendant of the Heavenly Court. It will backfire.
Too big..."
"As long as he is severely damaged, within one month of the reward time limit, a flood of underworld soldiers will destroy him... Under the catastrophe, the strong and the weak are eliminated, and the weak cannot withstand the pressure of the outside world and die. What's the wonder?
?”
Qin Lie was a little startled after hearing this. He heard the faint sound of bugles coming from the military camp in front, along with the officer's instructions. He turned his head and thought for a while, sighing: "Your plan is not bad, but Guangyuanmen let Yuan
Shan Zhenren passed on some old news to me, which gave me chills in my heart."
"Even if this is successful, it still gives the superiors a handle. The secret account written down by the immortal will not be comfortable when the time comes...and the layout is still a bit too small."
Qin Lie sent a message and explained a few sentences, which made Wei Shaoyang secretly shocked.
The Guangyuan Sect is a great earth-line immortal sect that dominates Yingzhou. Since it is of the same lineage as the Cai Dynasty, its disciples travel widely to various branches of the imperial court. Is this going to increase its support for the lord?
"Only when I got the news did I know that without the governor's protection, the order to be demoted to seven levels would have been issued by the court within this month."
"I immediately fell from the remaining fifth-grade official rank to the ninth-grade official, and I was just a soldier at the county level."
"If I take the next step, I'll probably find someone to kill me."
"If I dare not listen to the Governor in the current matter, not only will I be ungrateful, but if the Governor withdraws his support, I will die without a place to die - if I die, what will happen to the brothers who have been with me for decades?
"
"But you can't follow the governor too closely. I thought about it for a while, and finally figured it out. The situation has changed now. If I follow the governor, I will die without a burial place." After saying this, Qin Lie smiled bitterly.
"Then, my lord, are you ready?"
Qin Lie was silent for a while, sorting out his thoughts, and quickly said to the generals: "I have decided that the next step will be to fight against the Yin soldiers."
Others can obtain heavenly power, why can't I? Advance is also death, retreat is death. The only way is to obtain heavenly power. In this way, neither the court nor the governor can kill me.
This is what Qin Lie was thinking. The loyal general in the past rolled around on the edge of death and woke up - life and death are the greatest sobering agent.
If Ye Qing were here, he would feel the same way. During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, there was a general who was a personal soldier. He was suspected of treason and was imprisoned, tortured and investigated, but it was later found that he was unjustly accused.
Taizu of the Song Dynasty held a silent meeting and ordered him to be executed.
Why, even if you were loyal before, after this set of procedures, if you don't have any dissent, it's just the second grade.
Qin Lie had this mentality at this time.
Of course, not all of them must be put to death. Many of them will go to the second line after being rehabilitated. This is the most sophisticated way to deal with them—to rehabilitate them without leaving any hidden dangers.
Qin Lie is now working hard to escape and control his own destiny. Seeing this, Master Yuanshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was no surprise.
Most of the confidants in the tent looked at each other, and the general whispered: "Commander, those are 400,000 Yin soldiers."
"To be precise, there are 400,000 enemies... The Yin soldiers and Yin cavalry forwards must all be selected elites. Their strength is a bit stronger than ordinary Yin cavalry. I previously avoided the Yin cavalry forwards and let Ye Qing face this force on the ancient battlefield.
The Yin Cavalry is so sharp that it is the ultimate limit to be trapped in a pincer attack."
"This step is still based on the fact that the enemy's cavalry is fast, but our army is tired from the long journey and has no time to support it at night. But what about the slow-moving main force of the Yin soldiers?"
Qin Lie shook his head and sighed with regret: "We can't avoid it. If we take another step, we will step on the line... We will never compromise our position in foreign lands. This is the red line of heaven. I only know it after Master Yuanshan reminds me.
."
Master Yuanshan bowed slightly, his expression was calm and he did not take any credit.
Everyone in the Immortal Sect puts the interests of the sect first, and the sect must support the princes of the earth line. Recently, Ye Qing, who was originally paying attention to the earth line, suddenly changed his attitude in the past few days and started to pay attention to the lord and Yu Fan...
"I became the lord's confidant through an old relationship, so I can be regarded as the first to get the first moon, but Yu Fan's new appointment is a senior brother. For the eggs placed in two baskets, no matter whether it is a prosperous relationship with the assistant,
, or to compete for the right to speak in the door, the competition will be fierce in the future."
At this time, cold wind leaked into the door curtain, and the lights swayed in the tent. When the generals heard this, they all felt chilled and were speechless.
They have just stepped on the red line once and were lucky enough to survive. They are extremely sensitive to stepping on the red line. Who is not afraid?
But what I was familiar with before was the red line of the imperial court. This was the first time I heard about the red line of heaven. Some people couldn't help but glance at Yuanshan Zhenren and said dubiously: "Isn't Governor Yan responsible for this matter?"
Even if the governor can influence some imperial courts, how can he withstand the punishment of heaven?
Qin Lie groaned and let out the frustration in his heart. He had been saved by Yan Shenyuan. At this time, he couldn't even say a word and could only think to himself, otherwise he would be suspected of being ungrateful.
He just changed the angle and reminded his subordinates again: "Wherever you go, you should never forget your origins. Because if you don't remember, there are others who will remember... We all came from the central system, and we can't forget it even if we retreat to a local place."
Don’t step on the red line - fighting against evil spirits and evil soldiers is the overall situation, how dare I really sit back and watch?"
"Moreover, how can the enemy's 400,000-strong army give me room to escape?"
"Don't talk about me, Ye Qing can't escape... So since we are going to fight, how to choose the battlefield is the key. Instead of being passive and fighting after being invaded, it is better to choose proactively in advance... Ye Qing has already chosen his battlefield.
I will choose my battlefield."
As Qin Lie said this, he tapped the sand table with his fingers, letting the civil and military personnel in the tent digest the impact.
"Master, is he going south to support Ye Qing?" Some people can't twist this corner.
