Briefly explained, after Dongfang Shuo came to Haisha City, Haisha City had been liberated by Li Duanyang, and at this time he was counting the casualties and pacifying the people in Haisha City.

"Boss, are you here, how is Gu Yuezong?" After seeing Dongfang Shuo, Li Duanyang was extremely excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"I slaughtered it, the leader asked me to bring some silver taels over to reward the soldiers, you go and count it, and give me a number when the time comes!"

"No problem!"

"What's the situation now?" Dongfang Shuo asked, turning his head to look at Liu Tianyun.

"The form is still good, Seasand City has now been taken by us, and as long as we take Tianchi City and Tianshui City directly, we will be equivalent to occupying the west of the entire Star Empire

It's north!" As he spoke, Liu Yuntian took out a somewhat rough map and pointed it out to Dongfang Shuo.

There are no such accurate measuring tools in this world, let alone in this day and age.

Dongfang Shuo smiled, and then asked, "Is it this kind of rough map that everyone marches and fights?"

"Yes, it's really hard to get an accurate map, and sometimes it's not very convenient to measure the distance, the most important thing is that the map can only show the approximate distance, not at all

I have an intuitive concept, and sometimes I have to look around the battlefield and other places before I can come up with a plan. ”

"Actually, I have a solution!"

"Oh, General Dongfang, please speak!" Liu Yuntian asked with some expectation, after all, Dongfang Shuo has always been a miracle worker, maybe he really has something unbelievable

Way.

"Tell someone to get some sand, and tomorrow I'll make you a topographic map that you can see at a glance all the nearby terrain where you can set up ambushes!"

"Then I'll see!"

Dongfang Shuo walked around the area, simply drew with drawings, and then began to return to Haisha City to make it.

Early the next morning, Li Duanyang and Liu Yuntian watched Dongfang Shuo's achievements overnight and kept admiring.

"Boss, what is this?"

"Well, I call him the sand table, the map is scaled down according to equal proportions, and the outline is made out of sand, although it is not completely consistent, but it is much more convenient than looking at the topographic map.

It also needs to be much more accurate!" Dongfang Shuo smiled secretly in his heart, with his brother's well-read knowledge, isn't it easy to fool you?

"Sand table, what a magical thing, with this, I think it will be much more convenient to march and fight in the future, the intelligence of General Dongfang is really amazing!"

"That's, it's not me who blows, my boss is the most amazing person I've ever seen, can't you let me follow willingly? I think after the new empire is established, you will follow Yuntian

My boss can get it!"

This Li Duanyang is simply a god assist, Dongfang Shuo was still worried about how to lead the topic in this direction, but he didn't expect Li Duanyang to say what he wanted to say so casually

Come.

"This ...... That's for later, let's talk about it!"

Liu Yuntian, like Donghuang Yi, is a very arrogant person, because it is impossible to admit Dongfang Shuo because of such a small thing, and Dongfang Shuo does not expect such a sand table

Let Liu Yuntian be loyal, but this sand table must have played a big role!

"General Li, it looks a little dangerous here, I think it's best to send troops to guard here, otherwise the enemy is very likely to arrange an ambush here, and then we will be passive."

！”

"Understood, I'll arrange for manpower!"

However, when Li Duanyang arrived, he happened to catch up with the soldiers sent from the direction of Tianshui City to set up an ambush, and the two sides launched a fierce battle, and in the end, Li Duanyang was lost

Defeat and defeat.

After coming back, Li Duanyang did not have any explanation, and was willing to accept Liu Yuntian's punishment.

Dongfang Shuo and Liu Yuntian glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's puzzled looks, but the two of them were also sure of one thing, that is, Li Duanyang must have a reason to admit punishment

Target!

And at this time, Ling Hao also rushed over with Lei Tianba, Luo Qianhu and some people, and Kunhai was inconvenient to come to fight because he had an extra son, so he guarded it

The task of Sunset City fell to him.

After Ling Hao arrived, he also showed a puzzled look after hearing about Li Duanyang's matter, but no one could give him an answer.

"Yuntian, did General Li make a military order when he first went?"

"No!" Liu Yuntian shook his head and said.

"Since there is no military order, then what is the crime? Victory or defeat in marching and fighting is a common thing in soldiers, is it necessary to ask for punishment for this trivial matter? Besides, it is not a big swing to run away!" Ling Hao did not

Xie asked.

"Chief, that place is very important, and I shouldn't be defeated, you should punish me!"

"This ......"

"After this incident, someone will come and lock up Li Duanyang!" Dongfang Shuo ordered directly.

"General Dongfang, why did you lock up General Li?" Ling Hao asked puzzled.

"This kid must have something unspeakable, I can't ask him anything, instead of asking him, I should ask the soldiers who traveled with him before, I don't want him to get in my way

Investigation!"

"Unspeakable?" Ling Hao frowned, could it be that there was nothing to say about this defeat?

"General Dongfang, you think so too?" Before Ling Hao could answer, Liu Yuntian was the first to ask.

"Yes, otherwise he would have no reason to ask for punishment!"

"You two confused me, what's the situation? You mean to say that General Li asked for punishment because he made a mistake in this battle or because of his subordinates

Yes?" Ling Hao continued.

"Definitely, I think I'm afraid that General Li doesn't want to continue the next battle, if he is punished, he won't have to go to the front again, at least this battle won't be necessary, I

I think the problem lies with the enemy. ”

"That's right, maybe he met an acquaintance, or maybe the other party had a reason for him to have to fight each other, no matter what, General Li's move is a bit frustrating

Solution!" After speaking, Liu Tianyang also looked at Dongfang Shuo with some appreciation, sure enough, Dongfang Shuo is not a reckless man, and his mind is just as good.

"Okay, let's stop guessing, I'll just ask!"

In the next whole day, Dongfang Shuo asked a total of 27 people, including Li Duanyang's personal soldiers, and after counting their answers, he came to a conclusion that he couldn't laugh or cry.

In the evening, Li Duanyang was taken to the camp tent, Dongfang Shuo and others were also present, and everyone's eyes fell on Dongfang Shuo, and they seemed to be very curious about why Li Duanyang was so open-minded.

"Duanyang, did you do your best in the previous battle?"

"No......" Li Duanyang said with his head down.

"Why?" Looking at Li Duanyang's appearance, Dongfang Shuo laughed instead.

"I ...... Don't ask, boss!"

"Because you're fascinated by beauty, aren't you?"

Li Duanyang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Dongfang Shuo in some surprise, and then immediately lowered his head.
