Chapter 29: Pulling the tiger's skin to pull the flag
Ever since the private seal of Hebo issued a new warning because of Yuan Gongyuan, Zhang Peng had been having trouble sleeping and eating, as if something was stuck in his throat.
Yuan Gongyuan believed that it was not the right time to tell Xu Wanyi and Zhang Peng about his trip to Kunlun, and Zhang Peng had no way to force the stubborn old man to tell him.
But Zhang Peng is not a person who sits still and waits for death. He has been thinking about how to use his power to fight against the death disaster next year!
It was too late to join forces vertically and horizontally. Presumably Tubo and Dashi had already secretly communicated. The alliance between the two empires was definitely not achieved in an instant but had been planned for a long time.
After careful consideration, he found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, avenging Old Man Yuan and preventing the "Tubo Food Alliance" were actually two different things. Didn't Zhang Peng, who had been warned in advance, not have the details of Old Man Yuan's personal experience?
Can't we protect ourselves from the beginning to the end?
The only thing he needs to do is to convince both Xu Wanyi and Mr. Qin that there is such a thing as the "Tubo Food Alliance".
So how can we make them believe it?
Zhang Peng can only raise the tiger-skin banner of "Tianxiahui" again!
Afterwards, he was not afraid that Xu Wanyi would go to Old Yuan to verify it. Anyway, the information he got from the early warning was consistent with the outcome of Old Yuan's Kunlun Secret. If Xu Wanyi really went to verify it, it would only further deepen their understanding of "
The credibility of "Tianxiahui".
Zhang Peng was worried for most of the night, but the solution was actually that simple and crude.
First of all, the agricultural technology reform in Beiting has been more than half completed. The only thing left is to properly deal with the white disaster at the end of the year to ensure that the entire territory has no worries about food and grass. This is the first step.
He has already gathered the cement and blue brick sets in his hand. The completion of the Canyang River Dam has proved that the technology has reached the standard. Next, the city defense construction and infrastructure of the entire Beiting can be upgraded in a big step. This is the first step.
Step two.
The introduction of new salt production methods and the construction of salt farms will further resolve the tight military expenditure situation in Beiting. However, Zhang Peng feels that walking on one leg is not safe and the ways to make money must continue to be expanded. This is the third step he is taking.
The next fourth step is to train elite soldiers, arrange defense lines, build border defense forts, and keep the enemy out of the country!
After the agricultural technology reform centered on Beiting City is completed, the entire Tingzhou will become the political, economic and cultural center of the northwest region in the future. The place for fighting the enemy must not be placed in Beiting.
Tubo would not touch the hard target of the Anxi Protectorate, so their chances of sending troops from the east of the Tianshan Mountains to backstab Beiting were almost zero.
Xu Wanyi's brother has been leading troops to establish a stronghold in the northern border of Tingzhou all year round. He has strong troops and strategic depth. Once they are dragged into the quagmire, they will never come back, so the coalition will not take this route.
Therefore, the combined forces of the two empires must be mainly based on Dashi. They enter from the west, break through the Kunling line of defense, cross the Suiye River, base their camp at Luntai, and direct their troops towards Beiting!
The imperial edict issued by Emperor Xu Wanyi's uncle was really a blind cat but a dead mouse, giving Zhang Peng the opportunity to figure out the enemy's marching route.
"There is a disaster in Beiting? Why do you say this?" Xu Wanyi was very puzzled.
"Uncle, don't say this nonsense," Old Man Qin was obviously frightened.
Zhang Peng puffed up his chest and his face became very serious, as if he was pretending to be profound: "Princess, Mr. Qin, someone in my master's sect conveyed a message to me a few days ago."
Xu Wanyi and Mr. Qin immediately stopped talking. They looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
Jianping subconsciously wanted to exit the meeting hall, but then she found Gao Dao biting his nails in surprise, and pulled him away without any explanation.
"A letter from Heaven and Earth?" Xu Wanyi asked uncertainly, "Is it reliable?"
After asking this question, Xu Wanyi felt that she was a little reckless. She quickly explained: "It's not that I don't trust the Tianxiahui, but the sudden news that Beiting is in danger of being destroyed is too unbelievable."
Zhang Peng knew that he must not show cowardice at this moment. He must firmly believe that what he said is true. Tianxiahui is true. It has a very long-standing inheritance and a large and detailed organizational structure. The great elder of Tianxiahui is called Xiongba.
, the guardians on the left and right are named Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun respectively!
After giving himself strong psychological hints, Zhang Peng said with full confidence: "It is absolutely reliable, and the information content this time also involves Master. After I finish speaking, if you don't believe it, you can ask Master to confirm it!"
"What?" Xu Wanyi was shocked.
Could it be said that Tianxiahui really had a collision with the mysterious organization that plotted against the master?
"Zhang Peng, just tell me the information you got, and I will judge for myself," Mr. Qin finally calmed down at this moment.
"Okay, one of my junior brothers brought me news. Tubo and Dashi have secretly formed an alliance in the past two years. They will launch an attack on our Beiting next year. There is a high probability that they will choose to penetrate the Kunling line of defense.
, walk through Yechuan, occupy Luntai and attack Beiting!" Zhang Peng finished speaking in one breath, with a firm tone.
"Impossible, Dashi and the Turks are preparing for war, how can they have the energy to attack my Beiting?" Xu Wanyi's face changed color immediately, she retorted.
Mr. Qin, however, fell silent, staring at the map and pacing around, seemingly thinking about some key node.
Zhang Peng didn't urge him, but sat down on the slump, looking very shameless.
When Xu Wanyi saw that both the old and the young were speechless, she became anxious inexplicably and felt very conflicted. On the one hand, she hoped that the news was false, so that her Beiting would be protected from another war.
, but on the other hand, I had a gut feeling that the news was true. After all, Zhang Peng pulled Yuan Gongyuan out to endorse it.
After a long time, Mr. Qin sighed deeply, and then looked at Zhang Peng with a solemn expression: "The spies we sent to Tubo and Dashi have lost contact recently. I thought the two had nothing to do with each other, but today
After hearing what Jun Ma said, I have to suspect that the two are not a coincidence."
"Oh? Our spies have also reported back information about the alliance between the two countries?" Zhang Peng raised his eyebrows.
"There is no accurate news, but if we look back at the news about Tubo and the Dashi Alliance, those inaccurate news can be reasonably explained," Mr. Qin waved his hand, then leaned over to look at Kunling on the map.
Defense Line and Luntai County, "I think how Jun Ma wants to resettle the remaining 20,000 refugees. If Jun Ma has any specific ideas, let's talk about it."
Xu Wanyi calmed down now. She had absolute trust in Mr. Qin's wisdom. Although she was unwilling to do so, she still followed Mr. Qin's advice.
Zhang Peng stood up, cupped his fists and saluted Mr. Qin: "In this case, you've made a fool of yourself!"
Only three people knew about this late-night emergency meeting. It was the resolution reached at this meeting that changed the historical course of the entire Beiting and even the entire Western Region.
