It seems that the previous transfer of troops from the hinterland to the imperial city by the Qu Jade Kingdom was just a pretense, and at the critical time, it turned the spearhead and pointed directly at my Pingtian Kingdom, which is really treacherous and cunning, insidious and vicious. Meng Qi scolded in his heart.

Originally, according to Meng Qi's plan, seven days was almost enough time to arrange many matters, but now it has been reduced to four days, which can be regarded as disrupting all his plans, and everything has to be arranged urgently.

Meng Qi looked at Chen He and said solemnly: "I'll arrange one thing for you now, you have heard it to me clearly, all the details must be done strictly according to what I said, if something goes wrong, I will follow the military law to rule your crime, do you hear?" ”

Chen He was awe-inspiring, knowing that what Meng Qi said next was very important, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up and promised: "I am determined to do my best to complete the task arranged by His Majesty perfectly." ”

"Okay, when the meeting comes, you can take someone to clear a piece of land in the western part of the Black Forest, and just throw it aside without taking care of the cut wood."

"The Western Region? Is it close to our Hirata country? Chen He asked.

"Yes." Meng Qi nodded

Liu Neng couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?" Is there going to be a war in the Black Forest? ”

Meng Qi nodded, and said: "We took the initiative to meet the enemy this time, we will start a war before the army of Qu Yuguo has passed through the Black Forest, the Black Forest is complex, suitable for us to plant mines and fragmentation bombs underground, in addition, the 11-person elite detachment of the ground branch is easier to hide, and attack and harass the enemy army on the periphery, to disturb their military morale, and when the time comes, we will beat them to the ground, scatter and flee, and the forest behind us is not easy to retreat, we can completely annihilate their army." ”

Chen He and Liu Neng nodded in agreement.

Meng Qi then said: "Also, the person you bring must be your own confidant, to ensure that there will be no inner room among them, because from tomorrow, the tasks you will perform will need to be kept strictly confidential." ”

"Yes! I don't know what we should do tomorrow? Chen He asked.

Meng Qi took out a drawing, on which he simply drew a map of the western region of the Black Forest, Meng Qi used black dots to represent the trees of the Black Forest, and there was an area in the middle that was blank, which was exactly the area that Chen He needed to clear out.

"Your Majesty, how big does this area need to be?" Chen He looked at Meng Qi's abstract and ugly drawings, and didn't have a specific concept in his mind, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Estimate for yourself, the enemy army is 100,000 people, and if they can be used, the central line of the area should be on the central axis of our Pingtian Kingdom and Quyu Kingdom, that is to say, on their marching route, if they let them bypass this place, our plan will fail." Meng Qi said.

"Yes." Chen He nodded.

Liu Neng interjected: "Your Majesty, the old minister is worried that the strategist in the army of Qu Yuguo this time will be the legendary 'Sage Sun' Sun Su, he is suspicious and worried, and he may suspect our intention to reclaim this area, and it is very likely that he will order the army to bypass this area." ”

Meng Qi said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will order the people of Pingtian Country to go to the Black Forest to move wood to build houses, from the outside, we clear that area is not for the needs of the Great War, but to build houses for the residents of Pingtian Country." ”

"In addition, I will send 11 people from the local branch to fight in hiding on the path of the enemy's advance, from time to time to release cold guns, and kill thousands of them first, one of the purposes is to let them know that they are in a passive situation when they are surrounded by trees and bushes, and when the time comes, they will run to the open area we cleared without our guidance, and the other purpose is to disturb their military morale in advance, let them know that our army is mysterious and unpredictable, and the unknown is always the most terrifying." Meng Qi said with a smile.

"High, really high." Liu Neng couldn't help but admire.

Meng Qi said modestly: "This is nothing, just an appetizer." ”

"Oh? What other tricks does Your Majesty have? Liu Neng said expectantly.

Meng Qi didn't explain much, he looked at Chen He and said, "You listen to tomorrow's task, you must follow what I said." Meng Qi shook the drawings in his hand and emphasized again.

"Yes." Chen He respectfully responded.

"Tomorrow morning, you will take a group of people to this open area to plant mines, and the areas where the mines are planted should be on both sides, and the main road in the middle does not need to be buried." Meng Qi pointed to both sides of the blank area on the drawing and said.

Chen He nodded, but said with some doubts: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the fortification of laying mines should be handed over to Lord Qin Zhiqin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, why did you let me bury mines down?" ”

Xiangguo Liu Neng glared and said: "If you want to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense." ”

Chen He is a former protégé of Xiangguo Liu Neng, after Guo Da's death, Liu Neng promoted Chen He, who was previously a squire in the Ministry of War, to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of War, so Liu Neng was not polite at all when he spoke to Chen He.

Chen Hebao said with a smile: "I don't mean that, but I mean that if this kind of thing is done by the people of the Ministry of Industry, it will definitely be much better than those of us in the Ministry of War." ”

Meng Qi said with a smile: "The Ministry of Industry also has their tasks, and when the meeting comes, I will go and assign tasks to Lord Shangshu Qin of the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Oh." Chen He nodded.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this vacant area in the middle?" Chen He pointed to the middle part of the blank space on the drawing.

Meng Qi said: "This is the task that will be assigned to the Ministry of Industry later, and they need to do it. ”

"What task?" Chen He asked subconsciously.

"You don't need to know that, you just have to do your own job." Meng Qi said.

Chen He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has overstepped the sins." ”

"The most important part of your task is to pay attention to your working time, it must be strictly controlled during the day, in the morning after dawn, and then set off from the military department with tools, in the afternoon before the sun sets, your military department will withdraw from the Black Forest and return to the city, and the task of the Ministry of Engineering will be carried out at night, in short, the people of your military department and the people of the Ministry of Engineering cannot meet, if they meet, the tasks of both of your departments will fail, and I will deal with them with military law." Meng Qi said solemnly.

Chen He was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't understand the meaning of Meng Qi's move, because he didn't know that Qin Zhi was the inner chamber of Qu Yuguo, and the tasks carried out by the military department must bypass Qin Zhi's ears and eyes.

"In addition, the task I assigned you is top secret, and it must be kept strictly secret to the outside world, and you should not leak a word to anyone, you know?" Meng Qi explained.

"Yes." Chen He nodded.

"Also, I want to say a few more words, when you are planting mines, you must clear the surrounding area, and then send troops to garrison to prevent anyone from snooping on your military operations, you should understand this." Meng Qi added.

"Yes!" Chen He received the order.

"Okay, I'm pretty much done with what I should say, remember every detail I said, I should go to the Ministry of Industry now." Meng Qi said.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Chen He said respectfully.
