The dream of the thief was temporarily shattered, and the first thing Qian Buli did when he returned to his room was to take off his clothes and change into the pale yellow robe. There is a question that has been haunting Qian Buxing's head, Princess Ji Shengqing is not a stupid woman, but why does she easily believe her unintelligent lies? Did she really think she was the Qianlong Emperor?

Let's think about it later, Qian Buli's thoughts turned to the 'emergency military situation', like all war maniacs, as long as he heard the word 'military intelligence', Qian Buli's mood began to be high, since that woman trusted herself so much, let's help her once, Qian Buli found a reasonable excuse for his stay.

The chamber was brightly lit, and dozens of soldiers outside were lined up in a neat row with torches in their hands, and the momentum seemed very tense. Qian Buli strode forward, and just as he walked to the door, a soldier in his thirties and a suit of armor came out, with a wound on his head, which had not yet been bandaged, and blood dripped down his cheek and fell to his chest.

"Stop!" The soldier suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Qian Buli: "There is a military discussion inside, and idle people are not allowed to enter!" ”

"I'm not idle!" Qian Buli replied lightly and continued to move forward.

"Damn nobles!" The soldier muttered in a very low voice, as if unintentionally slamming his shoulder into Qian Buli.

Qian Buli flashed lightly, went around to the other party's side, and then took a diagonal step, hit the soldier's leg with his knee and bent it back, his arm pushed back, and the soldier fell to his knees with a thud.

"What a good boy with good manners!" Qian Buli bared his teeth, pushed open the door and walked into the conference hall.

The soldier turned his head to look at the back of Qian Buli, his eyes were shocked and puzzled, while the soldiers around him couldn't help but smile.

As soon as I entered the door, Qian Buli attracted all his attention to the thing on the long table in the middle of the room, which was the sand table! It's actually a sand table! There is a sand table in this world! Qian Bu was sour, thinking that at the beginning, he, a staff officer, had no less to deal with the sand table, and he really didn't expect to meet an old friend here!

Ji Shengqing and Jia Tianxiang exchanged glances, and Jia Tianxiang smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, have you ever seen this kind of thing before?" ”

"Of course!" Qian didn't leave his head or raise it, and observed the sand table intently.

"Humph!" A soldier who looked like a military general said: "The sand table was first created by Emperor Qianlong a hundred years ago, and although it was later detected and imitated by spies in several countries, it became one of the necessary magic weapons for generals from all over the world, but ordinary people never want to see one in their lives, have you really seen it?" ”

"Nonsense!" What Qian Buli hates most is that others disturb his train of thought, and his tone at this moment is not polite at all: "I have seen a lot of this kind of thing!" ”

Ji Shengqing smiled sweetly again, when a woman worships a man, that man becomes a perfect person with no shortcomings, and the rudeness of money is also unique in Ji Shengqing's opinion, what an imposing man! Ji Shengqing believes that money is inseparable, this kind of thing was the first thing he pioneered back then, of course he has seen a lot...

The general was furious and just wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw Count Jia Tianxiang looking at him coldly, he hurriedly lowered his head. Wronged! He obviously came forward to sarcastically because the man was rude to the earl, who knew that the earl didn't accept his love!

After a long time, Qian Buli raised his head, the impulse generated by seeing the sand table just now had dissipated, and Qian Buli's gaze was very calm: "What's wrong?" ”

"Let me introduce Mr. Qian." Jia Tianxiang stood up from his chair and pointed on the sand table with his hand: "On this side of the Kaitian Glacier, it belongs to the Grassland Flying Eagle Tribe, in the past, when the Ji Zhou Kingdom and the Flying Eagle Tribe clashed, the battlefield was often near the Qi Valley more than 200 kilometers away from Snow Plains City, but this time they actually jumped over the Open Heaven Glacier and attacked the territory of my Snow Plains City!" ”

"Be detailed." Qian Buli said lightly, his words were very natural, as if the other party should follow his orders.

There is a thing in the world called 'potential'! Dragons swim in the sea, tigers crisscross the mountains, snakes lurk in the grass, and horses gallop in Pingchuan! That's their 'potential'!

The 'potential' of money is a duel and a war, in other words, he is a genius! The money that manipulates the battle situation is fanatical, and at the same time, it is also calm! Even Mr. Qian, who has been in his career for decades, was deeply shocked by Qian's inseparable performance.

If Qian Buli was still hesitating to leave or stay before stepping into this door, now Qian Buli no longer needs to make any choice, because he finally caught the coveted 'momentum'!

As a staff officer with a post but no military power, what Qian Buli can do is to borrow his grandfather's energy to participate in every exercise in the army, no matter how big or small, he has to participate, without the exercise, he will immerse himself in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign war examples, but unfortunately these are all false, Qian Buli can not find satisfaction, this is like drinking only a sip of wine, playing with women can only touch it, a moment of stimulation can only bring deeper depression.

At this moment, the money will never let go!

Death to everyone who stands in my way!

He's crazy!

People like to use the word 'madman' to describe certain war fanatics, but strangely enough, countless smart people have become the disdainful wreckage at the feet of the madman, and perhaps only another madman can defeat the madman!

Jia Tianxiang stared at Qian Buli, he couldn't see anything from Qian Buli's eyes, but he just felt a kind of fanaticism, Jia Tianxiang was a little out of breath, and subconsciously took a step back.

"What are you? Dare to be rude to the Earl! The other general stood up angrily.

"Shut up!" Ji Shengqing and Jia Tianxiang shouted together, Ji Shengqing also looked at Qian Buli very worriedly, she was afraid that Qian Buli would be angry, Qian Buli was her backbone!

Qian Buli didn't look at the general at all, his eyes were still focused on Jia Tianxiang, he was waiting for an answer.

Jia Tianxiang steadied himself, pointed to the sand table and said: "There is a crack in the ice abyss here that is hundreds of miles long and more than thirty zhang wide in the Kaitian Glacier, which is bottomless, if the Flying Eagle Tribe wants to sneak over from here, it is very difficult, and if you fight on the glacier, the power of the grassland light cavalry cannot be exerted at all, and it is not as good as the ordinary hoplites, so the Snow Plains City has been calm for hundreds of years, and in the past, we just sent patrols to do routine inspections." ”

"This time, the Flying Eagle Tribe actually built a drawbridge over the crack, and fortunately, it was discovered by our patrol." Speaking of this, Jia Tianxiang showed a little appreciation: "The leader of the patrol is a nephew of mine, his name is Wang Rui, after he found the drawbridge, he did not rush to attack, until he seized an opportunity in the evening and forcibly attacked and destroyed the drawbridge, but... Of the ninety people in the patrol, only two people escaped back including Wang Rui, and they used their lives to protect our land! This is good news for us, in a short period of time, it is impossible for the Eagle Tribe to build the same drawbridge again, they have no reinforcements and no supplies! ”

"There is good news, and there is also bad news?" Qian Buli's eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes, the leader of the Eagle Tribe, Zamuhe, his brother Muhan, and their Guards Hussars have already sneaked in, and when they saw that the matter was revealed, they immediately attacked the garrison of our gold mine! Wang Rui had sent two groups of six people to the gold mine and snowfield city to report to the police, but... We didn't get any warnings. Jia Tianxiang showed a wry smile: "If there is no accident, the three thousand hoplites guarding the gold mine should be wiped out, and more than 300 light cavalry escaped, all of whom were bloody, which shows that the battle is very fierce." ”

Qian Buli was silent for a while, and suddenly showed a sarcastic smile: "I don't know what words to use to describe you, you actually missed one thing under your nose!" Qian Bu turned the conversation around: "What about our heroes?" Where is the hero who destroyed the drawbridge? I want to see him. ”

Jia Tianxiang looked at Qian Buli suspiciously, but unfortunately Qian Buli didn't mean to explain, so Jia Tianxiang had no choice but to let people call his nephew first.

After a while, the samurai who had a 'collision' with Qian Buli was brought in, and Qian Buli was not polite: "You are Wang Rui?" ”

Wang Rui looked at Jia Tianxiang suspiciously, then at Princess Ji Shengqing, and replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

"Do your patrols follow a fixed route every time they patrol?"

"Yes."

"Who was in charge of patrolling yesterday?"

"It's not me, it's Gurion, but yesterday when Gurion returned to the city, he was startled by a civilian, and he crashed into the city gate, and he is still unconscious, according to the regulations, my patrol will not change guards with Gurion until tomorrow, but seeing Gurion injured like this, I think I can't get tired of any more hard day, who knows... Who knew that my brethren would be like that... The more Wang Rui spoke, the more gloomy his expression became, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with his men.

"Princess, you should go to the city gate when you have time, its contribution is no less than that of Wang Rui!" Qian Buli sneered: "Lord Earl, let me ask a question, if you want to build a suspension bridge over the crack, how long will it take to build it day and night?" ”

A word to wake up the dreamer! Jia Tianxiang had been worrying about how to fight against the most elite guard light cavalry of the Flying Eagle Tribe, and at this moment, he suddenly understood, and his face turned pale: "Even if I don't hide it at all, it will take at least five days to build it with all my strength!" ”

"Assuming that Gurion is not a traitor, he will not be able to escape the charge of passive neglect of military intelligence. However, perhaps my words are a bit arbitrary, and I don't know how your patrols are deployed. Qian Buli said coldly.

"No, you're right!" Jia Tianxiang's eyes spewed angry flames: "On the whole crack, the terrain is flat, the height difference between the two sides of the strait is not large, there are four sections suitable for erecting suspension bridges, and there will be four patrols every day to do routine inspections, if it is passive and neglectful, it will never cause this kind of consequence!" ”

Jia Tianxiang paced back and forth a few steps: "Ren Shuai!" ”

A military general suddenly stood up: "Here." ”

"You immediately take someone to arrest all the members of Gurion and his patrol, and don't let one go!"

"Yes!" Ren Shuai agreed, turned his head and left.

Qian Buli stared at the location of the gold mine marked on the sand table: "How many guards and light horsemen of the Flying Eagle Tribe are there?" ”

"According to the soldiers we fled, there should be about five thousand cavalry, and less than a thousand infantry."

"Infantry? How could the steppe tribes have infantry? ”

"I know that." Wang Rui said: "Although the mountain of Kaitian Glacier is not as steep as Kunlun Glacier, it is still very unsuitable for large army marches. Those infantry must have been soldiers who lost their horses on the march, right? ”

Qian Buli looked at Wang Rui suspiciously: "Then how do you patrol?" With feet? ”

"We've got sleds, sir." Wang Rui's attitude became more and more respectful, seeing that Her Royal Highness the Honorable Princess and Count Jia Tianxiang were silent, only this man kept asking, and the fool could also see the status of this man: "Our marching dog of Ji Zhou Kingdom is the best marching dog on the mainland, and on the snow field, the speed of the sleigh is much faster than that of a horse!" However, there are not many marching dogs, just enough to equip our patrols. ”

Qian Buli turned to Jia Tianxiang: "The first person to come back to call the police seems to be riding a horse, right?" ”

"That's me, my lord." Wang Rui said: "No matter how strong the marching dog is, the endurance is not as good as the horse, when I rushed to the vicinity of a sentry post, the marching dog pulling the sled was almost tired and paralyzed, and I changed the war horse on the sentry post to rush back." ”

Qian Buli pondered for a long time, and muttered, "It's strange... The Flying Eagle Tribe caused such a big loss just by marching, and their loss on the side of the glacier can also be imagined, and a large number of manpower must be used to build a suspension bridge, and the first batch of people to pass through the suspension bridge are the most elite guards and light cavalry of the Flying Eagle Tribe. Give me a sense of all or nothing! I can't figure it out, what do you have here that is worth the effort they are so desperate for? ”

Jia Tianxiang sighed: "Let me tell you this!" Our Majesty is a generation of Ming Jun, and he is unwilling to be repeatedly harassed by the grassland peoples, so ten years ago, His Majesty formulated a plan to ride against ride! However, it would take a huge fortune to build elite cavalry on a large scale, and it would be difficult to convince the cabinet to pass this resolution, and His Majesty's plan would cost the entire Ji Zhou Kingdom a total of five years of total revenue, which was too much to spend. ”

"The most important thing is that the current Ji Zhou Kingdom has signed a military agreement with the British Empire, the Rus Empire, and the United States of America on the mainland, for the sake of the security and peace of the mainland, no country is allowed to expand its troops without authorization, if the expansion of the Ji Zhou Kingdom is leaked out, it will inevitably cause a great wave! In the event of a war, the entire continent will be involved. ”

"However, His Majesty was never willing to give up his plans. It just so happened that near the Kaitian Glacier, a large gold mine with very rich content was discovered, which is now the Snow Plains Gold Mine, and His Majesty thought that this was a godsend, and His Majesty ordered me to conceal the production of the gold mine and hide the excess gold for the future! ”

"In fact, the output of the Snow Gold Mine is more than that of the Alaska Gold Mine, the world's largest gold mine, and I only handed over one-tenth of it to the cabinet, and I have already made the Snow Gold Mine rank among the top ten in the world!"

"What ???" With the exception of the princess, the rest of the people let out an exclamation together.

Jia Tianxiang's gaze turned cold, and he swept over several people in the hall one by one: "This is a big secret, you are all my henchmen, I can trust you, today I tell the secret to make you ready, if the Flying Eagle Tribe is here for gold, the war will be unprecedentedly cruel!" If anyone leaks this secret, the price ... You know how big it will be! The traitor is the enemy of our entire Ji Zhou Kingdom!! You may betray me, but please do not betray the country! ”

"Your Excellency!" A tall general with a bit of heroism on his face stood up: "I swear in the name of my entire family!" I will never betray my lords, let alone the country!! ”

Under his infection, several generals stood up, "I swear... "I swear..."

"Alright, sit down, y'all." Jia Tianxiang waved his hand a little tiredly: "It's a pity, the secret has existed for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be leaks, just a few years ago, there was a faint rumor in the imperial capital, but in the end, His Majesty skillfully dealt with it." This time.... If I'm not mistaken... ”

"It's a certain big man in the imperial capital who is in collusion with the Flying Eagle Tribe!" Qian Buli answered lightly.

"Yes!" Jia Tianxiang showed a look of admiration, before this, he only admired the 'merits' of the other party, but now he was deeply impressed by Qian Buli's agile mind.

Qian Buli smiled and continued to stare at the sand table.

"I still have a premature conjecture." Jia Tianxiang sighed: "They are not just here for gold, they should have another goal, that is... Catch our princess! ”

"Princess?" Qian Buli's gaze moved away from the sand table and turned to Jia Tianxiang: "I admit the beauty and dignity of the princess, but... If the target of a war is a woman, it is a bit of a child's play. "Qian Buli likes to go straight every time it comes to a critical time, hypocrisy is often a bad thing, although his words are a little hurtful, but a princess who is not stupid will understand herself, Qian Buli needs the truth, because accurate judgment comes from the truth!

Jia Tianxiang smiled slightly, did not answer Qian Buli's question, just smiled and looked at the princess silently, the low-key Jia Tianxiang knew when to restrain his light, especially not to seize the princess's stage!

"My uncle is the chief general of the valley spine pass, I only have this one uncle, and he has always loved me." Ji Shengqing showed a grateful smile at Jia Tianxiang: "If they really caught me, used my identity, and attacked back and forth... Ji Shengqing didn't say it too bluntly, she believed that with the ability of 'Qianlong Emperor', she could completely understand her subconscious. The fate of a female prisoner is conceivable, no matter how noble her status is, not to mention whether her uncle will go crazy and lose his mind, it will also deal a fatal blow to the morale of the entire defender!

"I see!" Qian Buli clenched his fist with his right hand, lightly tapped it a few times in his left palm, and his eyes flashed: "An astonishing fortune, a key to go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, if it were me, I would also be desperate!" ”
