Chapter 9: Bait
Around noon.
Seeing off Ji and his party, he crushed Qingyi's spirit guide and asked her to go to the Wizard Tower for a while, and immediately after, he sent someone to gather a few lieutenants.
While a few lieutenants were on the way, he asked the clerk to read a few scrolls of bamboo slips, which recorded the confession of the wolf clan's wizard Poor Mo, during this period of time, about Changlin County and the wolf clan's military commander Xiao Hong.
The deployment of the wolf clan in Changlin County is exactly the same as he expected before, more than ninety percent of the black wolf soldiers are deployed on the front line of Qingshi Pass, the only fly in the ointment is that Changlin City is not a baggage center, just a grain and grass transfer station, and the grain and grass from the north will be transferred to Qingshi Pass through Changlin City.
This Xiao Hong is a witch cultivator, about early thirties, lost his parents at a young age, indifferent and withdrawn, in addition, there is a group of highly poisonous blood bats, this thing can recognize people's smells and identify directions, in addition to transmitting information, poor and indifferent do not know what other uses blood bats are.
These are not the point, what is really alarming is that most of the Northern Xuan Kingdom was beaten down by Xiao Hong, and what this information represents is self-evident.
At this moment, the guards in front of the door came in and reported, "Report to the general, several lieutenants are waiting outside the door!"
"Okay, that's it," Meng Yun waved at the clerk, who put down the book and left.
At this moment, the three lieutenants came in and punched him, "General!"
"Sit down," Meng Yun pointed to a few chairs, and then went straight to the point, "I called you here this time to tell you that Blackwater City is going to start a war against the wolf clan from today onwards!"
"Isn't it too hasty?" Vice General Yue Xing's face was worried, this guy is in charge of equipment production, and there is indeed a big gap in the weapons and equipment of the Blackwater City garrison.
"The fighter plane is fleeting, there is no time," Meng Yun shook his head and said, the matter is urgent, several people don't know his plan, and it is inevitable to be worried, "The specific battle plan, as soon as Jingjian Gongzi arrives, I will announce it together, at this time, you must do what you should do." ”
The next full moon night, counting today, will only be twenty-three days.
In this process, whether it is to deploy the army or to transfer grain and grass, it takes a lot of time, and he has to prepare in advance.
In addition, the people of the high-poverty tribe have not yet arrived, and there is no point in talking too much.
At this moment, several lieutenants saw that he had made up his mind, so it was inconvenient to say anything more, and they said in unison very knowingly, "Please give orders to the general!"
"Deputy General Yuexing, distribute all the weapons, including the copper tribulus," Meng Yun got up and rushed to Yuexing Zhengse, "No matter how many bows and crossbows and armor there are, give priority to equipping the vanguard battalion!"
"Yes," Vice Admiral Yue Xing replied.
The production of bows and crossbows and armor in the city was clear to him, and the gap was quite large.
The entire vanguard battalion is only 2,000 people, even if the number is not large, there are still more than 200 gaps in the bow and crossbow, not to mention the armor, almost all of them are repaired old armor, which is barely enough.
"Find someone to send a message to Guan Chengzi and ask him to turn around directly!" Hoard bows and arrows, armor, and half of the grain and grass ten miles west of Yehu Ridge," he said again, turning his head to the lieutenant general.
"Yes," Vice Admiral said, clenching his fists.
It's true that Guan Chengzi has the ability, otherwise he wouldn't be valued by Jingjian, but smart people have a problem, that is, they love to make things mysterious.
A few days ago, Guan Chengzi came to a letter, saying that there was a baggage delivery and asked him to prepare to greet him, but he did not mention the specific amount, but fortunately he sent scouts in time afterwards to inquire about the specific situation, otherwise it would be a mistake.
At this point in time, Guan Chengzi and his entourage must have passed Yehuling, and it is estimated that there are still two days left before the county seat, and it is definitely too late to turn around, in fact, if you don't want to turn around, you have to fall.
"Zhao Han ordered the army, everyone to carry five days of dry food, dye black armor, go out from the south gate tomorrow night, go along the path to the west of Yehu Ridge and camp on standby, not to enter the town and disturb the people!" Meng Yun said.
"Yes," Zhao Han nodded solemnly.
"Report this matter to Guan Chengzi to avoid misunderstanding"
"Yes"
......
It will take no more than five days to take a detour from the small road to Wild Fox Ridge.
At this time, the people of the poor tribe will soon arrive, and Guan Chengzi and his party will also return to the city, and immediately after that, his plan can be put into effect.
It was seven o'clock in the evening, in a house in Blackwater City.
Since the indifference was exposed, there was no need to worry about it, there was a special person to serve it every day, the situation was similar to Wuqu, and it was very nourishing, that is, the aura cultivation was sealed, and the scope of activities was strictly monitored and restricted.
Not long after he and Ji He sat down, the wizard in charge of monitoring accompanied Poor Mo into the door.
Meng Yun nodded at the wizard, and after the other party closed the door and left, he turned to the poor and said, "Tell me what happened in the past few days?"
"The last time Commander Xiao Hong wrote to ask about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness Wuqu, "Poor Mo honestly confessed.
"How did you answer?" Meng Yun raised his eyebrows and said, but before making a move, he must inquire about information, and the wizard of the White Wolf Clan finally couldn't sit still.
"Eighty percent of them are in the Wizard's Tower," Poor Mo said.
"See, even he can guess," Meng Yun turned his head and smiled at Ji He.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and transferred the people away, but now there is a problem, that is, I don't know how many people the White Wolf Clan is coming, about this problem, Xiao Hong will definitely not reveal it to the poor indifference, this guy is just an errand, and if he asks, he will only be scolded, no matter what, he has to be prepared.
"When will the Blood Bat come next?" Meng Yun said.
"Tomorrow night, General," replied the poor indifference.
"You wrote to tell Xiao Hong that in five days, the Blackwater Army will cross the river and launch an attack on Changlin City, well, as for the number of people, it is 30,000," Meng Yun thought for a while and said.
"Don't dare, don't dare," Poor Mo waved his hand in fright, thinking that he was deliberately tempting.
"Don't dare to be a hairyman, write to me now!" Meng Yun slapped the table angrily, "Hmph, I want to see how many catties and taels this person has." ”
Blackwater City will indeed cross the river to attack, and the number of people is indeed 30,000, but the time is not five days later, and it is not the Blackwater Army that participates in the battle.
"This, this, this...... Yes!" Poor indifference turned his gaze to Ji He again, and after getting a confirmed look, he agreed to come down.
Even if he didn't release this news, the wolf scout would sooner or later notice the movement, and the reason why he still did this was because he wanted to distract the wolf clan in the northwest direction and cover the Blackwater Army going south.
The principle is very simple, the wolf commander knows that he is going to cross the river, but he can't know the exact location of the river, if the poor desert can't find out the news, there is only one way left.
Eyeliners are placed along the banks of the river to monitor the river surface.
The Blackwater River divides Blackwater County into two, and on such a long river, the wolf clan has not enough eyes, so there is no spare energy to look around, and the Blackwater Army can move silently!
The Blackwater Army is the top priority of this operation, and it is related to the success or failure of the overall plan, and he is even considering releasing a larger bait specifically to divert the attention of the wolf clan, which is the grain transportation team in charge of the city!
Two minutes later, Poor Mo carefully put down the ink pen and handed the letter to Ji He.
Ji He checked it, and then turned to him and said, "The handwriting style is similar to the previous letters, I think it should be right!"
Meng Yun frowned and didn't answer, he was facing Poor Mo at this time, but he was by no means a special fetish, but he was weighing 50,000 stone grain in exchange for one, at first glance, the weight that looked very chicken was worth it, Poor Mo found that his expression was wrong, and the whole person raised his hand in a panic to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and turned to Ji He to cast a look for help.
"General, general, general," Ji He called him twice, and waited until the third time.
"Bang-"
"Damn, write another letter," Meng Yun suddenly got up and slapped the table next to him, "Let's just say that in three days, there will be a batch of grain from the Wild Fox Ridge north to Blackwater City!"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Hearing him say this, not only was he indifferent, but even Jihe was completely blinded......
"Boom"
At this moment, the door of the room was kicked from the outside, and the wizard in charge of monitoring rushed in in a panic, scanning the door and scanning a few stunned people, "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I went crazy in practice," Meng Yun turned his head and said to the other party.
"Oh scare me, you go on," the wizard breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the door, and said, "I'll find someone to fix this door, don't worry." ”
"Thank you so hard," Meng Yun nodded with a smile.
After the spymaster walked away, he turned to look at the poor desert who had not yet returned to his senses, "What are you going to write quickly!"
Poor Mo hesitated to pick up the ink pen, and just as he wanted to put down the pen, he raised his head and said to him, "If the general wants to join my wolf clan, he can be a guide below!"
"Shut up and write!"
"Yes, yes, yes"
......
Ten minutes later.
The door of this mansion was pushed open, and two sneaky figures quickly walked out of the mansion one after the other, and then rushed to the West City Tower.
Before the two of them left, they also took away the letter written by Poor Mo, this letter is too important, and even related to the success or failure of the overall situation, it cannot be stored in Poor Mo's hands for the time being, and he will come again tomorrow.
After walking away, Meng Yun turned to Ji He and instructed, "Send a reliable person to write a letter in my name to inform Guan Chengzi of this matter, but let him not panic, in case of an attack, just drop the grain and grass and run away, save his life, don't be reluctant! I will ask the black dragon to cut off the queen for him." ”
Guan Chengzi has no grudge against him, and he will not put the lives of Guan Chengzi and others on the line for this plan, which is too inhumane.
"Yes," Ji He nodded.
At this moment, Meng Yungang took two steps and stopped, "No! You can't write a letter about this, you go in person with my arrow!"
There is a saying called "reluctant to let the child trap not find the wolf", in any case, 50,000 stone grain and grass is not a small amount, enough for 100,000 people to eat for half a year, if you pay such a big price, it is really unreasonable for the wolf clan not to take the bait......
