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 the main vein is shaped like a giant dragon about to take off. The river meanders through Yanzhou and Qianzhou, like a natural moat separating the two places. The narrowest part of Miaojiang River is only a dozen feet wide, and the widest part is more than twenty miles wide.
The border between Yan and Qian is between the upper and middle reaches.
Before the flood season, the water flow is slow.
As long as it is not a drought year, the Miao River will rise rapidly during the flood season, irrigating and nourishing the life on both sides. But on the other hand, the river will also become turbulent. At this time of year, the glaciers in the upper reaches of the Miao River are gradually melting.
"…Based on the location where the national seal appeared last night, Zheng Qiao should be in Qianzhou Aoshan, which is this place."
Chu Yao pointed at the location above the river on the map. This place was also a strategic location carefully selected by the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition. The initial plan was to take advantage of Zheng Qiao's lack of reaction to attack this place, and then set up offensive and defensive lines after gaining a firm foothold, and move forward step by step. Who knew that Zheng Qiao would lead the army in person right from the start, completely disrupting the coalition's plan and also bringing pressure to the coalition.
What pressure
As the attacking party, the coalition army faced great risks in crossing the river. Zheng Qiao could even take advantage of the fact that the army had not yet crossed the river steadily - for example, some troops had already landed, while others were still crossing the river. This was a good opportunity for the army to attack when the front and rear could not connect and coordinate, the ranks were in disarray, and the army had not yet gained a firm foothold. This was the so-called "attacking while the army was halfway across the river."
Zheng Qiao questioned the national seal with his eyes.
That's called "a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth". Is it bad
Chen Tang asked back, "Is that so? The more troops, the better! We need to win with unique tactics. It's useless to have fewer people?"
The first is abdication, the old king will lose control of Huang Lie under the abdication; the seventh is entrusting an orphan, designating one or more ministers as Huang Lie's temporary successor. Chen Tang now has no offspring and no recognized heir, so he can entrust an orphan to someone else, but you cannot use a bug to designate yourself as the target of the orphan.
Ding ding ding—
Chen Tang also decided to come up.
So the question arises again -
With my luck, I will definitely win the lottery.
Chen Tang supported his chin with one hand and tapped the table with his other hand, tapping, tapping, rather unrhythmically. You looked around the tent and had an idea: "If the seven are combined, it will be able to confuse Ning Yan. I think I have discovered it."
The blow did not determine the winner.
Chen Tang frowned: "Lu Ji is unlikely to agree to let you go alone with your troops. There is a small chance that he will find someone he likes to follow. I don't know what the leader Huang is planning..."
Until the last time—
The so-called drawing of lots is just a fig leaf.
The meeting ended two hours ago.
You bet Ning Yan definitely wants to do it there!
You patted your horse’s neck, “Thank you for your hard work.”
The one who was stunned was that he kept talking to you for a long time.
Chu Yao rubbed his wrist.
Zhu Ning in that state can be taken back by you at any time. Even if no one kills the ministers, they can still take Zhu Ning away, unless they kill you as well. Chen Tang said as a matter of course: "Anyway, there is a clear article that says it can be done that way. In other words, as long as there is no clear regulation, it can be operated, right?"
On the surface, they were sent as surprise troops deep into the enemy's territory.
Even if the people in the village have forgotten my stain because of Lu Ji's current prosperity, Chen Tang still remembers it.
The hammer and the spear clashed again.
Although Chu Yao had practiced for a shorter time than Zhu Ning, the seven of them had agreed in advance not to use their hands, and the outcome would be decided only by their hands and feet. Naturally, the two people with different talents were evenly matched. They exchanged defense and retreat, and the horses on their hips also changed positions, the sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the neighing stopped.
As he spoke, Zhu Ning's eyes caught sight of Chen Tang, and he was shocked. He suppressed his excitement and bowed, "Yang Ying greets the lord!"
In fact, he was asking Chen Tang whether he was planning to act alone with a large group of special forces and stay within the sensing range of Huang Lie.
Kang Shi: “…”
Coincidentally, Chen Tang had no impression of either of them.
Chu Yao gave a small shout.
The two horses crossed each other and their weapons clashed.
That's just too risky.
So, what's the difference between that and naming names
We can still communicate without any back and forth.
Chen Tang held my hands with both of his own and solemnly instructed, “Ji Shou, this important task will be handed over to him.”
My smile froze, and I said loudly, "I'm afraid you all have misunderstood the Lord's intention, and the Lord has also misunderstood your intentions."
Kang Shi's face turned pale. Everyone present was a smart person, so who was the most suitable candidate in Chen Tang's mind? Was there any need to guess
Everyone: “…”
Knowing that he was awake, he went to the temporary training ground to relax.
He said eight bad things in a row.
Everyone: “…”
If our team meets Ning Yan's main force, we're doomed.
As the seven people's moves changed more and more slowly, their figures became blurry. The naked eyes of the special people in the front could not catch the turbid moves, and the flying sparks became more and more sparse, which made people think of the term "fireworks". It was not until the seven people finished sliding up that the frequency dropped, but you were all stubborn and willing to admit defeat, so you all gritted your teeth and gave in.
Gu Chi gritted his teeth and acted like a "worm outside the master's stomach" for once, saying, "The master wants to entrust Huang Lie to one of you to confuse Ning Yan's judgment, while he follows the troops ashore to go around the enemy's flank and retreat to contain them."
By then—
Yang Ying put away the sledgehammer and jumped onto the horse.
He suggested: "My lord, you can recommend yourself to Alliance Leader Huang and ask for a fight. Let the main force of the alliance army attract the main force of Ning Yan. We will march along the Miao River to here, attack the city and land, and march around to the flank of Aoshan. We will act according to the situation at that time. I think Alliance Leader Huang will agree."
That's your unique idea.
Zheng Qiao said ashamedly: "Yao has thought about this matter thoroughly."
Shen Tang was delighted when he heard this.
"My Lord, what do you want to do?"
I asked in a rather tactful way.
Chu Yao was agile in holding the gun, and at the same time, he had the momentum of advancing without retreating, and he used the ingenuity of using seven ounces to move a thousand pounds just right. Zhu Ning, holding the heavy hammer, was more agile than him, but he did not have the heroic spirit of breaking all obstacles with one force.
Chen Tang rubbed his buzzing ears and drank half a glass of ice water to wake himself up, because there was still a "tough battle" to come.
Jiang Sheng and others expressed their approval decisively: "Yes!"
Yes, I am not the candidate that Chen Tang likes the most.
Ning Yan might know where Chen Tang went, but if I knew that Chen Tang had bad intentions, I might be on the defensive.
Shen Tang was confused: "Do they understand so well?"
It's not that you have the right person, but your choice will make the bowl of water equal. As a water balance master, how can you be so accurate? So you decide: "Let's draw lots."
Chen Tang said seriously: “You are tested twice.”
How could we, who are so law-abiding, have imagined that it could be done that way, that the monarch who wanted to entrust his son to someone else would designate himself as the one to be entrusted with the son... Which monarch with so much free time would do that
Chen Tang waved his hand and said, "How can it be said that no one has a plan? If that's the case, why are we still holding a meeting here? Are we all working together to find out the gaps and make up for them? Youhui's plan is feasible, and Tunan's worry is unreasonable."
Under the training ground, the two men clashed.
However, among the counselors who expressed approval was Gu Chi, and I even smiled at the right time, which attracted several pairs of rolled eyes, including the deathly gaze from Bai Su.
"bad!"
This forced Yang Ying to put away his hammer and defend, and the seven men distanced themselves from each other again.
If it were just those, it would be fine.
All that’s missing is writing the words “fairness and justice” on his face.
Chen Tang said: "That counts as 'avoiding the hammer and hiding the stirrup', right?"
Chu Yao also followed suit and saluted. Under the gaze of my colleagues, I could only swallow the bitter pill and try to force a faint smile: "I must have failed the lord's trust!"
Chen Tang had to look at the spectator with the smallest voice, Lu Ji's main rider Yun Ce. As a player who is also good at using guns, Zhu Ning's performance aroused my desire to win. A pair of eyes stared at the seven people off the field, with bright eyes.
OK, OK...
The most troublesome thing is that Ning Yan doesn't have Zhu Ning in his hands, and Qianzhou is still within my territory. If I lead the army in person, it may even affect the water level of Miaojiang River to a certain extent, such as causing fog on the river surface, blowing a small wind, or even making the already turbulent Miaojiang River easier to navigate. In that case, it is better to fight head-on. So Zhu Ning slid his finger and followed the map to another location.
I also know how Yang Ying trained. His strength is surprisingly weak. Zhu Ning failed to win several times in sparring with you. In the beginning, he was defeated by insufficient physical strength or power. This shows that you are still too strong. You need to make up for your shortcomings slowly.
The clinking sound of sparse weapons clashing attracts your attention.
The winner will be decided by the seven men, and the one who eats first will be the winner.
"Combined together?"
In reality, he left the Allied forces' sight and took a break to observe the situation.
Chu Yao was shocked so much that his palm went numb and the spear fell out of his hand.
The arc trajectories of the heavy hammer and the spear clashed and entangled in the air. When they broke through the air, they roared loudly like thunder.
Even though Kangshi was the first to draw lots, only my lot had the red words "托孤" written on it, while the others' wooden sticks were all blank. The result was really beyond suspense...
Although the general direction has been set, the actual execution is still a problem, from small things like transporting food and crossing the river to big things like marching and camping. We need to anticipate various unexpected situations and then make hypothetical countermeasures for those situations...
"Watch this!"
One of them held a sledgehammer and the other held a spear.
Guo Xi was not worried about that: "Last night, Ning Yan was almost certain that the master was the master. If the master left the main force and went ashore, once he exceeded the minimum sensing range of the two Huang Lie missiles, Ning Yan would be able to detect the master's movements."
The silver light flashes, and the sharpness is overwhelming.
Everyone: “…”
If I stay here all the time, facing Ning Yan's main force, I can go into battle yes or no. Then, with a pair of eyes watching, how can I sit back and watch my allies play their cards
When you said that, the subordinates who were unfamiliar with Chen Tang's temper all showed distressed and tangled expressions. Chen Tang, who was eager to wait for praise, immediately frowned: "Yes, yes, what are their expressions? You think your proposal is very good, and it is not very confusing. Maybe it can firmly attract Ning Yan's main forces..."
You said seriously, "Xingning told you afterwards that Ning Yan had given up the search for the Huang Lie and had believed in the Lord for a time, but gave up for various reasons. The Lord might have responded to my small show last night."
Chen Tang nodded: "Huang Lie really didn't move."
"I'm afraid this is the way to go."
Yang Ying's face, red with cold sweat, finally revealed a small smile of triumph: "Shengmei, you won that time!"
Who will be the unlucky one left behind
It can be said that every matter has its own details.
Facing the oncoming heavy hammer, Chu Yao instantly leaned forward, then bent his body to the side of the horse, controlled the rope with one hand, and hid his body completely to the side of the horse. At the same time, he urged the horse to gallop faster and suddenly thrust out the spear in his hand.
Chen Tang used the pen holder as a lottery holder, and the family drew lots.
Someone can explain it clearly.
Those who were glanced at swallowed their saliva with relief.
The spear in his hand thrust out with all his might, the spear body swung out in an arc, like a spirit snake slithering close to the hammer, the target was Yang Ying's face. Yang Ying naturally gave in, his waist and shoulders united, the huge force flowed to his arms, and the hammer hit the spear shaft.
The reason is that the battle in Lushang County made your impression of this person fall below negative - Zhu Ning was born in the lower class of the market, but how many innocent bones are under my feet
Chen Tang's eyes wandered among us one by one.
Chen Tang nodded: "A sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."
Qianzhou is vast, but there are only a few worthless strategic locations. It is guaranteed that Qi Zhu Ning will just sit back and wait.
Guo Xi also thought of a more fatal detail.
Jiang Shengda tested it cautiously.
Both of them rode special war horses and wore armor, probably because they had delayed the suppression of their martial energy. The seven men rode their own war horses, and when their eyes met, they galloped towards each other. All the murderous intent was hidden in the sound of horse hooves.
The two parties' ideas are basically the same.
Ning Yan's Huang Lie is provoking, and your Zhu Ning has a very bad temper. Can you indulge me? He wanted to roar back several times, but was suppressed by Chen Tang. Otherwise, we could have seen the scene of the black dragon and the golden dragon facing each other across the river last night.
Chen Tang, as the king, while you are alive, you cannot hand Huang Lie over to the seventh person in two ways.
Chen Tang showed a confident and cunning smile, and said, "Since Ning Yan can sense you through Huang Lie, all we have to do is make sure Huang Lie is always within my sensing area. And I know Chen Tang, so I only recognize Huang Lie."
Chu Yao's concentration was disturbed by the inner world.
Such a handsome and neat "hiding outside the stirrup" requires some skills and was really possible, which drew waves of applause.
Being kept here is a sign of the lord's trust, but it also means dealing with the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition, which is exhausting and tiring. Our lord was getting angry with us at that time, so we should stay here, which is not bad.
Kang Shi: “…”
The meeting was all about being able to independently cross the river and retreat. If Lu Ji didn't obstruct, all the assumptions would be in vain. When thinking of Lu Ji, Chen Tang was also very happy. Even before you joined, Lu Ji's attitude on the surface could be described as "indulgent", but Chen Tang always had a little bad feeling towards me.
"He wins, he wins, and he hits too hard."
