075 On the eve of the Great War

At this time, it was only two days before the army of Qu Yuguo attacked the city, and after the malicious spread of ill-intentioned people, the whole country of Hirata began to fall into an atmosphere of panic, whether it was a passing trader, a laborer or a homemaker, in the midst of their busyness, they would always look east from time to time, for fear that at a certain moment, a fierce army would break through the city wall and pour into the city like a tide, burning, killing and plundering.

A small number of the inhabitants of the country have plans to flee, and even those who have the means have fled to other countries, and some people are convinced that the young emperor will perform miracles again, so that the news of victory will spread throughout the country with the spring breeze.

In the palace, Meng Qi found a detailed map of Qu Yuguo, and called Zhang Dagen of Dazhu Kingdom and Liu Neng of Xiangguo to study how to attack the imperial city of Qu Yuguo.

There are tall city walls on the periphery of the imperial city of Qu Yuguo as a defense, if you set up a ladder to attack, it will be a terrible war of attrition, and the city gate is made of solid and heavy mahogany as the base, and the periphery is covered with several layers of steel plates, which can be described as invulnerable, Meng Qi secretly guessed according to the annotations on the map, even if he piled up a circle of glycerin bombs at the city gate, I am afraid that he would not be able to blow up their city gate.

'Do you want to use S-class bombs?' Meng Qi thought to himself.

The last time it was handed over to Wei He, it was an R-class bomb, one for five hundred satiety, and the S-class bomb needed one for one thousand and two satiety, which was even more terrifying, but Meng Qi was still not sure if he could blow up the city gate of Qu Yuguo, because he knew the wisdom of these skilled craftsmen in ancient times, and the city gate they designed must have a defensive mechanism for unloading, and when the time comes, there may be a strange phenomenon of a hole a few feet deep in front of the gate, but the city gate is intact.

Thinking of the hole in the ground, Meng Qi suddenly thought of a plan: "By the way, you can dig a tunnel." ’

"Liu Neng, do you know what the geology of the area where the Imperial City of Qu Yuguo is located? It's the hardness and viscosity of the soil there. Meng Qi asked Liu Nengdao.

Liu Neng didn't understand Meng Qi's intentions, and said suspiciously: "It's ordinary loess, the same soil quality as our Pingtian Country." ”

"That's it, that's easy." Meng Qi smiled.

"Your Majesty, you have already thought of how to break the city?" Liu Neng asked tentatively.

Meng Qi nodded and said, "By the way, Liu Neng, can the informant spy you planted in Qu Yuguo still be contacted?" ”

Liu Neng smiled bitterly: "You can get in touch, but this guy hasn't grown at all over the years, and he is still just a street vendor in Qu Yuguo, so he can't ask for much useful information at all." ”

Meng Qi smiled: "We don't need the news he inquires, I want to know how this person is, is he reliable?" ”

Liu Neng assured: "This person is my confidant many years ago, and his character is absolutely reliable and trustworthy." ”

Meng Qi nodded and said, "Very good, I'll arrange a task for him, and you will be responsible for conveying it to him." ”

Liu Neng asked, "What task?" ”

"Let him preach the prestige of our country in the imperial city of Quyu Kingdom, just say that our Pingtian Kingdom attacked their imperial city in order to liberate the residents of Quyu Kingdom, our court adheres to the principle that residents are the masters of the country, as long as our Pingtian Kingdom occupies the imperial city of Quyu Kingdom and controls the power of Quyu Kingdom, then Quyu Kingdom will usher in a new era of equality and freedom, at that time, there will be no princes and nobles, class dignity and inferiority, only everyone is equal." Meng Qi said.

"Your Majesty, this is to paralyze the minds of ordinary people, and when attacking the city, they will not have the idea of resisting." Liu Neng touched his chin and pondered.

Meng Qi smiled: "It's not paralysis, this is a promise, if I really control the power of Qu Yuguo, I do have the intention of governing the country." ”

"Your Majesty's ideological realm is really beyond the layman." Liu Neng couldn't help but admire.

Meng Qi has been thinking of a suitable excuse to rationalize and justify his attacks and land grabbing everywhere, just like the ancient uprisings would find a righteous banner to package their actions, and now Meng Qi can find the perfect excuse to fight for the liberation of the oppressed and exploited masses under the feudal class rule system.

"How do you spread the word?" Zhang Dagen asked.

"It's very simple, let him buy some people and publicize it everywhere, I think this kind of explosive news doesn't need to be artificially promoted, it will be like a virus, occupy the topic of Quyu residents after tea and dinner for a short time, and by the way, let people make up some songs and ballads, and compile the propaganda content into lyrics for children to sing, and also, you can post posters or street speeches, these propaganda effects are good." Meng Qi said.

"Well, you can try." Liu Neng nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, if we want to attack the Imperial City of Quyu Kingdom, we may not have enough manpower." Zhang Dagen said.

"How many troops are there guarding the Imperial City of the Quyu Kingdom?" Meng Qi asked.

Zhang Dagen said: "As far as I know, it is about an army of 5,000 people. ”

"Five thousand, that's not much, we have ten thousand." Meng Qi is serious.

The corners of Zhang Dagen's mouth twitched: "Our 10,000 people still have to fight against their 100,000 army, and even if we win by luck, there shouldn't be many troops left." ”

"You big root, how can you say that you won by luck? It was a result of my careful planning, and I estimate that our casualties should not be few. Meng Qi learned from Liu Neng to touch his chin and pondered.

Zhang Dagen smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Then after entering the imperial city of Qu Yu Kingdom, we can directly smash the Yellow Dragon and capture the palace of Qu Yu Kingdom in one fell swoop." Meng Qi clenched his fists and said.

Liu Neng and Zhang Dagen glanced at each other, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes, but when they saw Meng Qi looking so confident, they couldn't say anything.

Meng Qi looked at Zhang Dagen and said, "Let the soldiers rest a little tomorrow, and they will go to the battlefield the day after tomorrow, to ensure that when they go to the battlefield, every soldier is full of energy and in full condition." ”

"Yes." Zhang Dagen commanded.

"Okay, that's it, you go down and do what I explained." Meng Qi waved his hand.

"Yes." Zhang Dagen and Liu Neng then exited the room.

A day passed, the war was just around the corner, and when Meng Qi was finally inspecting the soldiers and inspecting the pre-war military supplies, he suddenly came to report that there was a new discovery.

Meng Qi and Liu Neng came to a secluded place, and Liu Neng reported: "Your Majesty, the informant who was planted by the old minister to spy on Qin Zhi in the city came to report, and recently found that there was a person who was very close to the Qin family. ”

"Who?" Meng Qi asked.

"Da Si Nong, Feng Feng."

"He? Could it be that he was also rebelled by Qin Zhi? Meng Qi raised his eyebrows.

Liu Neng frowned and said, "No, according to the old minister's understanding of Lord Feng, he will definitely not become an insider." ”

"How?"

"Lord Feng is upright, honest all his life, during his tenure as Dasi Nong, there has never been a problem, because he adheres to principles and has a bad relationship with many ministers of the DPRK and China, this kind of behavior is inconsistent with the inside, the inside should be Guo Da's kind of style, eight-sided exquisite, wind and water, see people talk about people, see ghosts and talk nonsense."

Meng Qi nodded and said, "Then what do you think about this matter?" ”

Liu Neng said uncertainly: "This is exactly what makes me wonder, maybe the correspondence between Lord Feng and Qin Zhi does not involve political affairs." ”

"You can't be in a relationship." Meng Qi pouted and said strangely.

Liu Neng was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It's not very likely." ”

"You continue to send people to monitor Qin Zhi and this Feng Feng, and if you find something abnormal, you can directly control the two of them." Meng Qi thought for a while, and said.

"Yes." Liu Neng nodded.

In the evening, Meng Qi adjusted the monitoring screen of the satellite monitoring machine to the eastern area of the Black Forest, and after the picture flashed, Meng Qi was startled.

At this time, in the open area on the eastern periphery of the Black Forest, a terrifying number of troops had been gathered, they were wearing uniform blue-black armor, holding swords in their hands, and they were murderous, gathered together, giving people a great visual impact, and Meng Qi had a sense of emptiness for the first time.

Meng Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and tried to calm himself down, he told himself that it was just twice as many as the 50,000 troops last time, and the 100,000 troops were just appetizers.

He continued to close his distance, and found that the 100,000-strong army was stationed on the outskirts of the Black Forest, and had no intention of continuing the march.

Meng Qi estimated that the 100,000 army would come tomorrow morning.

'It's finally coming, the first step to conquer the world: the annexation of Quyu Kingdom. Meng Qi turned his head and squinted in the direction of the east outside the window, as if he could still see the dense army from a hundred miles away.
