Back Off, Let Me Come

The efficiency of the Southwest Allied Forces was much worse than expected.

Shen Tang once suspected that they were preparing to surround but not attack, trying to trap the main force of Kangguo here. However, judging from the pressure of food and grass in the rear, it was still unclear who would be dragged to death. The Allied Forces did not move, and Shen Tang was happy to continue training the navy, and the experience points were not too much.

The actual reason?

This has to mention Cui Zhi.

Cui Zhi's early departure from the camp disrupted the combat rhythm of the Southwest Allied Forces. As one of the core leaders of this battle, his absence was not just as simple as missing a person. Even if he recommended Mei Meng, Mei Jinghe was not a member of the Cui family, and the generals who had a thousand ties with the Cui family would not easily obey her. The two big Buddhas of the Southwest Allied Forces, Luo Yuan and Gongyang Yongye, were even more unable to command.

The delay beyond expectations was also based on this.

Misfortunes are the source of blessings, and blessings are the source of misfortunes.

I don't know if it is because this world has supernatural powers such as Wenxin Wudan, or because of other reasons, the changes in weather are more complicated. The time of wind direction change is not fixed every year. Even fishermen who have made a living on the river all their lives dare not say that they have completely figured out the rules. Good and bad are interdependent. Mei Meng was ordered to delay time in times of crisis, but he also waited for the opportunity of wind direction change.

The weather is the law of the operation of the way of heaven.

Literary scholars can use words to influence the weather, but the difficulty of following the weather and going against the weather is not the same level.

To give the simplest example, for example, in a heavy rain environment, a scholar uses words to make the sky clear, which is going against the weather, and using words to increase the rain is following the weather. The latter is much easier than the former and consumes less literary energy.

The Allied side has the advantage of the wind, whether it is a water march or a Mengchong opening a way, it is very convenient, and the most important thing is that the main force of the tower ship is less restricted. The side against the wind is more uncomfortable. The tower ship suffers too much resistance, and the mobility, which is already limited by its size, will be lower. From the perspective of the navy formation, the Southwest Allied Forces have taken the lead. Of course, this is not irreversible.

The scholars on the Kangguo side can pay a price to reverse the wind direction.

"As far as I know, this is Kangguo's specialty." Mei Meng, as the deputy director of the Southwest Branch, can handle most of the confidential information that Cui Zhi can access. "Arrange a group of people to get rid of these first, and if they can't get rid of them, they must be restrained in front of the battlefield."

"This is Jiang Feng!"

The Southwest Allied Forces allies think that Mei Meng is too cautious. Is it necessary to send someone to ambush and assassinate? Changing the wind direction in a certain area is not as simple as plowing a piece of land, because the wind will flow!

Changing the wind in a small area will not last for a few breaths before it will be swallowed up by natural wind force. It is basically equivalent to changing the direction of a drop of water and expecting this drop of water to reverse the direction of the waves. The direction of the waves will not change, but it can swallow this drop of water.

If you want to change, the volume must be large.

It must be large enough to change the direction.

How large a range and how strong a wind must the artificial wind cover to compete with the wind that follows the laws of the heavenly way? Instead of worrying about the future and wasting limited energy here, it is better to use the troops elsewhere: "How to reverse it?"

Mei Meng said: "Why can't it be reversed?"

She looked up and looked directly at the general who questioned her decision: "Since the founding of Kangguo, there has not been a natural disaster in the territory. Before that, you should have heard about the situation in the northwest. Kangguo used the national destiny to interfere with the weather. The second is the assistance of capable people in the court. The combination of the two has led to the bumper harvests of Kangguo in recent years."

How big is the border of Kangguo?

The weather within the border is controlled.

What is a mere Jiang Feng?

Mei Meng not only has to be on guard, but also has to take the initiative, plant spies in, and find opportunities to carry out assassinations. Of course, it is not now, and the troops have to stay put. When the two sides officially go to war, the spies will point out the positions of these people and focus on removing them.

In addition to these details, Mei Meng also has to arrange troops.

This part of the work has actually been carried out for the most part. Cui Zhi left all the plans, and Mei Meng is responsible for the arrangement. It sounds simple, but it is actually difficult. It's not that there's something wrong with the battle plan, but that the result of the troop mobilization is unconvincing.

They were convinced by Cui Zhi's mobilization.

But they went back on their word when it came to Mei Meng.

They said that this was unfair and that was unreasonable, and they acted impartial and selfless, but in fact, they were only planning for the benefit. I heard that Mei Meng was demoted and abandoned by the King of Qi State. They were bullying Mei Meng because she didn't have a family to back her up.

If Mei Meng was led by them or was a little stage-frightened, the interests of the people would be irreconcilable. Shen Wuyou Tang watched the good show for a few days and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.

"Such a pig teammate, I can't lead him."

If only one person in a group seeks benefits for himself, he will be reprimanded by other companions if this person is found out; if everyone in a group seeks benefits for themselves, then the impartial and selfless person will become the target of public criticism. Mei Meng is in this situation now.

"General Qi, won't you help?"

Qi Cang should have a good relationship with Mei Meng. Or is Qi Cang really just want to have fun, and he will watch anyone's fun?

"Help her? She doesn't need help. If he can't even suppress this little situation, he is not Mei Jinghe." Qi Cang thought of the people in the Southwest Alliance and sneered, "Isn't it easy to deal with the mob? They have pigtails all over their heads, let's see if you dare to catch them."

Would Mei Meng not have the courage?

Sure enough, within two days, I heard that someone was punished by military law. Mei Meng acted very quickly, and the person who wanted to plead even shouted "spare his life under the sword", but still failed to save the unlucky guy's life. Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, how can the monkey be obedient if the chicken is not dead?

The only thing to blame is the bad luck of these chickens.

Haha, it's obviously not just a few chickens that are unlucky.

Before Qin Li and several scribes who were good at Tianshi Yanling could react, the hidden thread around them had been nipped in the bud.

"Why are you today?" The conditions in the military camp are limited, but Shen Tang is really not stingy with the people she likes. She knows that Qin Li is good at tea, and she will not forget his share of any good tea cakes she has on weekdays, even when marching and fighting. Send someone to take care of his daily life.

The first one came up as a prisoner.

It is said that before he was drafted into the army, his family was engaged in the tea business. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also made good tea. Qin Li was quite satisfied with the tea brewed by this person, both in terms of temperature and taste. Being busy at his desk today, Qin Li picked up the tea cup at hand without raising his head. As soon as he took it into his mouth, he noticed that the taste was not right. He asked the guard beside him what was going on, and the guard hesitated and told the truth.

"That man committed suicide."

Qin Li's face was relaxed and calm.

"Aren't you of pure origin?"

Anyone who can be sent to Qin Li as an errand will be investigated for eighteen generations. Qin Li himself had asked about it, so how could there be a problem?

When Gu Chi saw Qin Li coming, he knew what he was going to ask: "I stopped someone who was about to commit suicide and got some clues from her mouth. These people are all apparently survivors of the Gao Kingdom, and they were all originally Wu Xian's Private slaves. If anything happens if they sneak in, the debt will be blamed on Wu Zhaode in the end..."

Qin Li shook his head and said, "It can't be Wu Xian."

Wu Xian is indeed an indecisive character, but this does not mean that he is brainless. Even if Wu Xian doesn't give up, he will not make small moves when his master is at the peak of his strength. Once exposed, he will kill everyone. With his personality, he wouldn't take such a big risk.

It's like someone framed the blame.

Qin Li asked: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Gu Chi said: "None of these people have seen the mastermind behind the scenes. They only know that they are from the inner court. And wasn't the inner court at that time the High Court? Looking at the time, I have a suspicion."

Qin Li understood: "Mei Meng?"

Gu Chi smiled and said, "It can only be her."

The Lord suddenly assigned a task, saying that there might be informants lurking around Qin Li and asked him to investigate secretly. Gu Chi's first reaction was that it was outrageous. The people around Chongchen were carefully screened. What spy can escape his scribe's ways?

As it turns out, there really is.

These informants are all inconspicuous little people. They rarely hang around Gu Chi on weekdays. They also work seriously while hiding. Most of them are lonely. Except for the one around Qin Li, the other hidden lines were only on the fringes and could not cause much damage. Despite this, Gu Chi still felt that the sign had been smashed.

If making tea for Qin Li is poisonous...

Gu Chi didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Qin Li: "Why don't you dare to think about it? Can I still be poisoned to death?"

The Lord arranged for him three bodyguards who would test the poison. If he died from the poison, it would only prove that he was destined to do so. After all, he is also a literary scholar who has mastered the art of scribes. Even the most powerful poison in the world cannot kill him in an instant. He can still be dragged to the Xinglin doctor to induce vomiting and detoxify him. Compared with these worries, Qin Li was more concerned about the timing of the enemy's placement of these informants.

Does that have to go back to the Battle of Gaoguo?

"Poison you? Why don't you make the Lord heartbroken?"

There was a bit of sourness in Gu Chi's words.

It was only this time that he learned that his master also arranged for Qin Li to have three guards to test the poison, and he didn't even get such treatment.

Qin Li: "..."

His colleague is not in his right mind.

After Gu Chi finished his work, he patted his butt and went back to meet Shen Tang. The hidden clues found out, except for the only one who was intercepted alive, all the others committed suicide. The scouts outside also discovered suspicious people and arrested them all: "How to deal with these people?"

"Kill the living ones to scare the monkeys, and throw the dead to feed the fish?"

Shen Tang wiped the silver-white bow in his hand with a handkerchief and said without raising his head: "The corpses took poison that sealed their throats with blood. Isn't it murdering the fishes by throwing them away to feed them? These corpses had their heads chopped off and the corpses were thrown away by the scouts. Just go to the Southwest Allied Scouts."

Gu Chi didn't understand why he deliberately cut off his head.

Isn't this unnecessary?

Without a brain, how did Mei Meng know that this was her spy?

Shen Tang grabbed the bow that was almost as tall as her with one hand, looked towards the direction of the southwest allied forces, and sneered: "I recognize it."

Gu Chi's heart trembled.

He instantly thought of what Shen Tang wanted to do.

Shen Tang's tone was cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "...reach out to Gong Su, she is really not afraid of death."

The southwest allied scouts looked at the approaching enemy, all on alert, tensed their muscles, and made a posture to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, the enemy charged halfway, threw a few bloody bags at them, then made a sharp turn and retreated, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Fraud?

The pioneer scout ordered people to come forward to check.

The bag actually contained several headless corpses.

Judging from the clothes on the corpse, it should be from Kangguo?

The scouts and others looked at each other.

They did not dare to delay and sent people to spread the news to the camp.

Mei Meng came after hearing the news and vaguely guessed the identities of these people.

She lowered her eyes to think, then raised her eyes, scanning everyone present. The Allied allies did not know the identities of these people, but they also knew that this was Kang Guo's provocation and humiliation: "Take off the heads of the corpses to scare us? There are no heads. Who knows where these corpses came from?"

This method is too naive.

Who's here who didn't come here with the flash of swords and shadows?

What role can a few headless corpses play?

Qi Cang felt bored after just one look. Just as he was about to turn around, his ears moved slightly and his sight followed towards the banner.

The other generals were weaker than him, so their reactions were naturally not as sharp as his. It was not until the light blade broke through the clouds, leaving a white line across the two armies on the sky, and approached the banner that they were shocked and angry and attacked again: "What little thief dares to attack!"

The banner, the flag of the commander of the central army.

No matter who shot this arrow, let alone shooting off the banner, even if it just touched the edge, the face of the Southwest Alliance would be lost from now to the future. For a moment, dozens of different colors of martial energy lights swept towards the banner, bound to stop the arrow.

Qi Cang just took a look and retracted his toes.

Zhongli Fu beside him whistled.

"Who is it, so arrogant, shooting the banner with an arrow?"

Qi Cang suspected that she was gloating, and had evidence.

"General Qi, won't you stop it?"

Qi Cang snorted, "This arrow was shot from the opposite side. At such a long distance, it has no power. If the allied generals can't even stop this arrow, it's better to clean up their necks and wait for others to chop them off, rather than go to the battlefield and embarrass themselves."

His words were not without harshness and sarcasm.

However, he didn't expect the other side to be even more sarcastic.

There was a human head on this big arrow!

"You dare to come?"

Everyone looked at the head on the big arrow, and then looked at the headless corpse on the ground, and felt that an invisible hand slapped them in the face. Just a slap was not enough to make the other side feel relieved. The allied generals noticed that a favorable arrow was approaching. This time the target was not the commander's flag, but the most central position of the camp. Due to the distance limit, the arrow's residual power was limited, but the humiliation was directly maximized.

Similarly, there was also a human head on the big arrow.

The archer on the opposite side had a naughty mentality, deliberately teasing the mentality of the allied forces, and transported seven heads one after another.

Seven heads, seven headless bodies.

Just when everyone thought it was over.

A wave of air suddenly erupted from the direction of Gongyang Yongye's tent, and a shadow of a Mo Dao more than ten feet high met the eighth arrow head-on. The two collided, and the air wave caused by the collision knocked the nearby retreating soldiers to the ground. The flag was cut by the air blade with several holes, and the wood chips of the flagpole as thick as a bucket flew everywhere. If he hadn't stopped this arrow, the flagpole could really be shot off by it!

"A bunch of trash."

Gongyang Yongye crushed the arrow with one hand.

As the arrow turned into powder, a piece of paper floated out.

Gongyang Yongye glanced at it, and the martial energy infused the paper surface. The seemingly soft and fragile paper was instantly cut into iron like mud. He exerted a little skill with his wrist, and the paper sank into the ground at Mei Meng's feet with a puff.

"For you."

I plan to write two extra chapters during the National Day holiday to change my mind.

One is a crossover extra chapter, and the other is an IF line of this world without Tang Mei.
