The second floor of the castle tower.

Several core high-level leaders of Blackwater City gathered here.

"General, you said that you want to take my life, but you have to talk about it," said Poor Mo with a bitter face.

"Don't worry, I will never break my word, even if I let you go," Meng Yun said here, and his words changed sharply, "If you answer me a few questions, do you want this opportunity?"

"Yes, yes," the poor indifferent chick slammed his head as if he pecked rice.

Meng Yun turned his head and glanced at a few people behind him before he said, "First question, did you leak the matter of Wuqu?"

"Yes," replied the indifference, like a frosted eggplant.

Meng Yun nodded and asked, "Second question, how did you pass on the information?"

"General Hui, Commander Xiao Hong has a group of blood bats, and every three days he will send a blood bat to collect information, but I can't find out the exact news of the demon clan, and I can only send some inconsequential information in the city away every time," Poor Mo said.

When they heard what the other party said about the blood bat, several people present frowned, obviously they had never heard of this creature.

"What is this blood bat, demon beast, does it have intelligence?" Meng Yun asked.

"The poison raised by the blood bat with human blood doesn't seem to be a demon beast, but the blood bat can follow my breath and find where I am, is this considered wisdom?"

"When was the last time a blood bat came?" Meng Yun asked again with a wave of his hand.

"Last night," replied Poor Mo.

At this moment, he was almost instantly shocked into a cold sweat, turned his head and glanced at Ji, this thing's face was not very good-looking.

The blood bats will come every three days to collect information, and if this law is pushed forward, it happens to be the first night of their departure, and the poor desert has sent out a message, Vonima is too thrilling, and he is almost about to hit the right one, if he is a little two days earlier, it will be a trap waiting for Que Ji, and he will not know how to die when he dies.

"The third question, are there any other wolf clans in the city?" he quickly calmed down.

"As far as I know, it seems like I'm the only one," said Poor Mo.

Meng Yun briefly sorted out his thoughts, turned his head and said to Di Ji behind him, "Find a place to lock it up, and send a few Shangwu to take strict care of it, but you must take care of it and don't allow abuse." ”

"Okay," Ji nodded and should come down.

"Blood Bat is coming again, you can write information as you want, but you have to remember that you are in my hands, you should understand my character, don't be stupid before making any decisions," Meng Yun paused when he said this, "In addition, this letter from Xiao Hong, as well as the information you have sent past, write me a complete copy, let people send it to me, and his letters will also be sent to me in the future, if you cooperate, you will be free after twenty days!"

"General Xie's grace of not killing, I will definitely do it," Poor Mo heard that he would not be killed, and he could still be taken care of, and the whole person secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was an extremely wise decision to leave Deputy General Xi's life.

Meng Yun thought about it and nodded, Poor Mo's ability is suitable for being a spy, but his courage is a little small, and his psychological quality is not good, which is a big failure, but for his own side, this is good news.

In this process, the merit of the turtle master is quite large, not only did he see through the poor desert at a glance, but he did not disturb others, but the most important point is that the poor desert has great value.

After Ji took the people away, Jing Jian and Gu Ye saw him fall into deep thought, the two of them looked at each other, and they didn't dare to disturb him, and after half a quarter of an hour, he came to his senses and rushed to Jing Jian and said, "Let Ji He go and re-interrogate people, I want to know the information of the barbarians in Changlin County, the more detailed the better, especially this commander named Xiao Hong, write down his hobbies, and even some small things such as eating, drinking, and Lazar rules, and send them to me." ”

"Huh?" Jingmi was stunned.

"Ah, what, I'm not joking," Meng Yun said with a grimace, this Xiao Hong is not an ordinary person, at least his vision is still very far-sighted, he can actually recognize the broken appearance in advance, and send the poor desert to sneak into the city in advance, so he can't ignore it.

"Okay, I'll go," Kami put away his disdain.

"Hey, wait a minute," he hurriedly stopped Jing Jian again, "You ask Ji to send Wuqu to the city tower for me later, and arrange it in my room, and make an enchantment outside the room or something, in case people escape." ”

"You're worried that someone is coming to make trouble?" Kami stopped and turned around.

"If the wolf clan comes to rob people, it is estimated that it will only be two or three days," Meng Yun nodded.

"What then?" Kimi asked.

"This matter must be carried out in secret, and no one except a few of us is allowed to know," he said here for a moment, "Ji don't let him run around these days, concentrate on guarding the spirit of the wizard, and if there is an emergency, Qingyi and Er will help." ”

"Her Highness the Holy Maiden and Lord Black Dragon are here, I'm afraid that no one will be able to rob Wuqu from the Wizard Tower," Jing Jian said, turning his head to look at Qingyi on the side.

"Qing Yi can't reveal her whereabouts, there are no more than ten people in total who know her in Blackwater City," Meng Yun waved his hand and said, "During this period of time, it seems that she is practicing some kind of spell, and I don't want to disturb him if it's okay." ”

"Good"

......

The hall of the castle tower, after six o'clock in the evening.

The main officials in Blackwater City, as well as the generals above the commander of a thousand people, a total of more than fifty people, gathered in the hall on the first floor.

Compared to the last seat, the position of the seat this time has changed greatly, and the civil officials led by Kagemi sit on his left hand side in turn, and the military generals led by the three lieutenant generals sit on his right hand side.

According to his practice, the first thing to report is the people's livelihood, under the strong constraints of the control law, the situation that once starved to freezing to death no longer exists, which is a preliminary solution to the problem of food and clothing, but it has not yet reached the point of abundant grain and grass, and it is basically foreseeable that rations will have to be rationed in a short time.

After more than half an hour, he turned to look at several officials who were in charge of supervising the manufacture of weapons, "Report the situation of weapon casting." ”

"Report to the general, the foundry has cast a total of 600 swords, 7,300 Changge, 70,000 copper thistles, more than 50,000 arrows, and a number of bow and crossbow parts," the seventh official on the right stood up and said

"Why are there so many swords?" Meng Yun subconsciously frowned.

It took nearly a month to cast more than 600 swords, and you must know that more than 100,000 laborers in the city, almost more than 60,000 people, are all involved in smelting and related work.

"Returning to the general, the foundry has a branch casting method designed by the general, but there are too few craftsmen who know the art of sword casting, and there are too many defective products for beginners, so I believe that the yield rate will increase rapidly in the future," said the official of the foundry.

"What about the bow and crossbow?" he sighed helplessly, he had calculated or missed the calculation, casting a sword was much more difficult than casting Changge, copper thistle and other tools that could be completed only by requiring molds.

"Report to the general, the bow and crossbow workshop has made 2,000 light crossbows, 1,200 foot crossbows, nearly 50,000 arrows," the eighth official on the right stood up and said.

"Oh, so much?" Meng Yun was a little surprised when he heard this, in terms of the complexity of the process, the bow and crossbow are more difficult than the sword, but the number of finished products is almost more than three times more than the sword, if you add the previous archers, the bow and crossbow troops have reached more than six thousand.

"It's all up to the wizards," the official added.

The wood wizard is really popular.

Raising his hand to signal the other party to sit down, he continued to ask, "What about the vine armor and the wooden shield?"

"General Qiyu ......"

The equipment situation is one thing, and the next is the training and establishment of the soldiers.

Taking into account the weapons and equipment, as well as the physical fitness of the soldiers, according to his previous assumption, the county side will eventually form a regular army, with a total number of about 30,000, and other people with slightly less physical fitness will all be incorporated into the reserve and mainly assume defensive duties.

Next, there are up to ten days to prepare.

After these ten days, it is necessary to launch an attack on Changlin County, and within the next ten days, Changlin County must also be taken, otherwise the capital will be in danger.

What worries him the most now is that Guan Chengzi and his party have no news yet, and they don't have enough weapons and equipment, so even if they levy more soldiers, it won't help.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the first floor of the castle tower.

He was staring at the map on the north wall in a daze, and Ji He was standing behind him, holding a cup of hot water.

Changlin County is in the west, if you attack from the front, you have to cross the Heishui River, this time is winter, the river is covered by thick ice, but it saves the trouble of building a bridge, but there is black oil on the ice, if he is the commander of the wolf clan, he will definitely let people arrange defenses along the west riverbank, once the enemy is found to attack, he will take advantage of the other party's half-crossing, directly ignite the black oil, a hundred.

After crossing the Heishui River, then you will encounter a pass, called Qingshi Pass, this pass is very similar to Hangu Pass, the north and south sides are adjacent to the mountains, of which the south is the bluestone mountain group, there is also a high mountain in the north, the whole is like a horn to the west, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The wolf army of Changlin County, as well as the wizard power, must be here, after all, it is the first line of defense, and it is also a dangerous pass, and there is no danger to defend further.

After the bluestone pass, it is the waterfront valley of the Pingchuan River, and the county town of Changlin can be seen in the distance.

But then again, attacking from the front will definitely not work, once Jie or Qingyi is dragged, the entire army will be swept by the wolf cavalry, which is easier than the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.

"Find a few people who are familiar with the terrain of Changlin County, if you can't find them in the city, go to Yehuling or the towns south of it, I urgently need their help, but I can only give you five days at most," Meng Yun turned his head and said to Ji He.

"Lord Jiuyan seems to be a native of Changlin County," Ji He reminded.

"No, most wizards practice spells at home all day long, and it's good to find the direction when you go out," Meng Yun immediately rejected this proposal, "The person I need to find is best someone who often hunts or collects medicine in Qingshi Mountain." ”

"Okay, my subordinates will send someone to Yehuling overnight, and I will personally visit the city tomorrow morning," Ji He said, handing him the water.

"Leave the search in the city to the lieutenant general and the county guard, you have other things to do," he said, taking the hot water.

"What's the matter?" Ji He wondered.

"You'll find out in a moment," he sighed, taking a sip and glancing up at the gate.

At this moment, a clerk on duty trotted in, dragging a small piece of cloth, and excitedly smiled, "Good news for the general, Lord Guan Chengzi has written that a batch of baggage will arrive in five days." ”

"Finally news?" Meng Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

It's been almost a month, Guan Chengzi is afraid that he has already arrived in the summer capital, if there is no news coming, it will be ruined, he is not sure whether Xia Guo's troops are related to Guan Chengzi, but Xia Guo's aid is southwest Lei County, which is nearly two thousand miles away from Southeast Heishui County, and he can't count on it.

"I didn't mention the specific items and numbers, only that there would be a baggage arrival in five days," Ji He stepped forward to take the information, glanced at it and frowned and forwarded it to him.

"With the character of Guan Chengzi, he shouldn't be able to trick us, wait and see," he didn't reach for the letter, but waved his hand at the clerk, "Go get busy." ”

"Yes," the clerk bowed.

Thistle turned and threw the letter into the brazier......
