Chapter 626: Prelude to the Great War
Early the next morning, Lu Ping'an and the three of them, together with Guan Xiantu, Luo Yi and others, went to the border area located in the Hongling River first.
And Hu Xian is the king of a country after all, before leaving the palace, there are still many things to explain to the people who stay in the palace, and the Praetorian Guards are also needed to open the road and escort them on the road, and the whole travel step is relatively cumbersome, so his team still needs to wait until the afternoon before it can officially set off.
Xue Chengwu and those generals and strategists had already set off for the front line.
This war is related to the survival of the Cangwu country, so under the call of the imperial court, under the organization of local governments, domestic monks have also actively participated in it, and rushed to the border.
In the face of the army of Dongyu State, Cangwu State almost exhausted the strength of the whole country and waited for it, just to resist the invasion and defend the country!
On the other hand, at this time, only one day had passed since the Dongyu Kingdom officially declared war on the Cangwu Kingdom, but the news had already spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent.
This matter did cause an uproar on the Eastern Continent, and even many forces in the Dongyu Kingdom opposed it.
It's just that the reason for declaring war given by Qi Zhu is too perfunctory, and it is nothing more than turning out some old accounts to talk about things, but everyone knows that those are trivial things, and they are not real reasons.
Therefore, people speculated that the real purpose of Qi Zhu's move was purely to invade the territory of Cangwu Kingdom, and then deal with Nanyun Kingdom.
But there are also some people who feel that this matter is likely to be related to Lu Ping'an.
Only a few people know that this matter is not only related to Lu Ping'an, Qi Zhu even threatened Hu Xian to let Hu Xian destroy the Lu family, because Hu Xian categorically refused, which led to Qi Zhu raising troops to attack.
However, no one knows what the truth is.
Even Lu Ping'an, Hu Xian and others believed that Qi Zhu's personal grudge against Lu Ping'an might just be a cover, and what he and the forces behind him really wanted was to capture Cangwu Country and prepare for the attack on Nanyun Kingdom.
But in any case, these reasons are not justified, and after all, the teacher is still unknown.
Either out of morality, out of love for peace, or out of appreciation and reverence for Lu Ping'an, people objected to this matter, and even protested.
But in fact, most of those opposing acts are only in the field of public opinion, and there is no actual action.
The reason is very simple, those forces dare not really offend the royal family of Dongyu Kingdom.
Even if there are monks in the sect who strongly oppose it, they can't affect the overall situation, and they even have to consider whether it will affect the sect.
Therefore, although the public opinion in the outside world is turbulent, it is actually the thunder and rain, which cannot bring any help to the Cangwu country itself.
If Cangwu wants to win, they can only rely on themselves.
......
Lu Ping'an and his entourage all moved forward quickly, and it took less than half a day to reach their destination.
Long before Qi Zhu officially declared war, Hu Xian had already ordered the army to make pre-war preparations, such as transporting supplies and setting up camps.
And now after Lu Ping'an and the others arrived, they saw a large number of temporary military camps on a plain, as well as tens of thousands of Cangwu soldiers, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "There are so many of them! I don't know how shocking it will look when the war starts!"
Tian He nodded and said, "Although this doesn't sound good, many people have never kissed each other in their lives
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
We have seen the scenes of war, and we were able to participate in it this time, which is quite a rare experience for us. ”
Meng Shaoyuan said: "My master said that life itself is a practice, and going through war, it may not be a good thing, but it will eventually affect our lifelong practice, if we are lucky, maybe we can gain some insights because of this, so that our future practice will progress by leaps and bounds." ”
Tian He said: "If this is really the case, it is naturally excellent." However, this kind of battle shouldn't be anything to Brother Lu Xian, right?"
Lu Ping'an said: "Of course, during the previous battle of the Snow Palace, there were more than 100,000 snow field demon beasts and the snow armor army dispatched together, and the picture was much more spectacular than just the human army. ”
Tian He said with regret: "It's a pity that my strength is not good, otherwise if I follow you to the snow field, I will be able to see that great battle that is rare in hundreds of years." ”
Lu Ping'an smiled: "Such a dangerous thing, some people can't avoid it, but you want to go?"
Tian He said: "In life, in addition to cultivation, you always have to experience more things to be worthwhile." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "This is also true, but whether it is the Snow Palace or this war, the best situation is not to happen, we have to experience, there are places and opportunities, and we don't need to rely on war to increase our knowledge and experience." ”
Tian He said: "Of course, but these things, after all, are not something we can control, all we can do is to try to fight for some benefits for ourselves when it is destined to happen." ”
As they spoke, they walked into a large tent and rested for a while.
Half a day later, Hu Xian also arrived at the camp.
Lu Ping'an and the others gathered together again to discuss the war, but the location was changed from the imperial study to the Chinese military tent.
The general plan of action remains the same and there are no changes.
All they had to discuss was the specifics, after all, now that they were in the camp, they could better understand the actual situation and then make adjustments.
However, Lu Ping'an was just listening from the sidelines, he knew very little about the army, and he didn't want to interfere.
But everyone could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the whole camp was becoming more and more tense and solemn.
From Hu Xian to the small soldiers, the vast majority of Cangwu people who came to participate in this war have never experienced a war of this level and scale, and their mentality will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.
What's more, what they have to face is a war that looks slim to win on the surface.
And Lu Ping'an's action to prevent the Dongyu army from crossing the river naturally needs to be kept secret, so there are not many people who know about it, and they can't gain confidence from it.
After another day, Mu Qing got some of the latest information about the army of Dongyu Kingdom.
It includes the current march of the Dongyu army, as well as various information about the army.
This information will definitely be of great benefit to Cangwu Country.
But they also realized more deeply that the 100,000 troops sent by the Dongyu Kingdom this time were indeed very strong and extremely well-equipped, not to mention dealing with the Cangwu Kingdom, even if they attacked the rest of the big countries, they also had a strong deterrent effect.
This also means that Lu Ping'an's action must be successful, otherwise, the Cangwu Kingdom will be more than lucky.
And on the third day after Lu Ping'an and the others entered the camp, Mu Qing received a piece of critical information.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After a meeting, Hu Xian left Lu Ping'an and others behind, while the rest of the generals and strategists withdrew from the big tent.
Then, Mu Qing, dressed as a palace maid, stood up and said: "If nothing else, the army of Dongyu Kingdom will officially arrive at the border area opposite the Hongling River tomorrow night or the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and their advance team has already arrived half an hour ago. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces condensed slightly.
Meng Shaoyuan said: "The big war is really about to start!"
Mu Qing glared at Meng Shaoyuan and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Guan Xiantu asked, "Miss Mu, is there any new movement for them?"
Mu Qing said: "Well, you guessed it right, otherwise I wouldn't have asked His Majesty to ask you to stay." ”
Lu Ping'an was stunned and asked, "What do they want to do?"
Mu Qing said: "Among the vanguard of the Dongyu army, there are several strong men, and their task is to lead a group of people to cross the Hongling River first, occupy some places, and when the 100,000 troops arrive, they can better arrange the crossing of the river." ”
Lu Ping'an snorted lightly and said, "They think it's very beautiful!"
Guan Xiantu said: "Although we have also sent people to guard some places where it is more likely to cross the river, but because the Hongling River is too long, we can't accurately judge which direction they want to come from, and the soldiers we sent are hardly considered to be strong, if there is no information about Miss Mu, they may really succeed!"
Luo Yi nodded and said, "That's right, the information provided by Miss Mu is really of great help to us. ”
Lu Ping'an said: "Then senior sister, do you know more accurate information, such as which place they want to occupy? If we knew, it would be easier for us to deal with it." ”
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know, our informant can get such confidential information, it's already the limit, and they can't find out more specific information." ”
Lu Ping'an frowned slightly, and said, "What about the time?
Mu Qing said: "I don't know any of this. ”
Lu Ping'an's face sank, and he said: "Then we must act immediately, we can't let them run over and seize the favorable terrain!"
Mu Qing said: "Then have you figured out how to act?"
Lu Ping'an thought for a while and said: "Since we don't know the time and place, then we can only use stupid methods, every other distance, arrange a person to guard, once we find out the situation, use the sound transmission device to inform others, and then, of course, we will defeat those guys, catch them if we can, and kill them directly if we can't!"
Mu Qing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, I think this method is no problem, although it is simple, but it is a more effective method at present." ”
Hu Xian said: "Although there is a certain risk in doing this, it is indeed the only way to do it! I don't know what you think?"
Guan Xiantu said: "I think it is feasible. ”
Luo Yi said: "I also agree. ”
Subsequently, everyone expressed their agreement with the action plan that Lu Ping'an said.
Hu Xian said: "Okay, then let's discuss the specific details of the operation as soon as possible, and then set off immediately, we must not let Dongyu Guo's plan be implemented!"
Although the real war has not yet come, the prelude to this war has already sounded......
