33. Plan ahead

Yang Siqi was reading a book of cultivation experiences related to life magic, and while reading, he gently stroked a wooden staff that was 1.5 meters long, which was a magic staff of the life system. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The seven magic books and this magic wand were all sent by Ma Mengshi to Ma Yuyao. It can be regarded as a thank you gift to Yang Siqi, although she has thanked Yang Siqi with a kiss, Ma Mengshi doesn't think that her kiss is really worth millions of gold coins, so she still managed to find something useful for Yang Siqi and sent it over.

Ma Yuyao is really curious about the relationship between Ma Mengshi and Yang Siqi. If it is said that it is a thank you for saving your life, then it is okay to send some gold coins, otherwise, it is okay to ask Yang Siqi to be the special life magician of the Ma family, but now it is not the case at all. It's strange to come to your home in the middle of the night, and to have a secret conversation behind closed doors. However, as the leader of Ma Mengshi's personal guards, she naturally understands what to ask and what not to ask.

With the support of Yang Siqi's life energy, the queen bee, who has reached level seven, can lay a large number of bee eggs every day, and can divide several groups of bees almost every day. Life energy is so powerful, Yang Siqi really doesn't know what to say about the effect of life energy. This is too powerful, if the life energy is enough, he is afraid that he will be able to make hundreds of millions of bees in just one or two months.

The swarms of bees are separated into beehives and sent to outposts around Pegasus. These things are naturally handled by Ma Mengshi's henchmen, and Yang Siqi doesn't have to worry about it. He just needs to concentrate on serving the queen bee well, so that it can lay more eggs and produce more queen bees. According to Ma Mengshi's idea, at least 3,000 boxes of bees must be made, anyway, honey is not afraid of no market.

After three days of research, Yang Siqi learned the second life magic - the rain of life. This is a third-level life magic, a group healing spell that can be applied to all lifeforms within a radius of fifty meters. As long as all lifeforms within this range can be healed by magic, they can recover if they are not too badly injured.

Life mages have mastered life magic, such as the rain of life, to be able to exert their powerful healing abilities on the battlefield. It can be said unceremoniously that with such a life mage with him, the combat of this army will at least double. After all, an army that a wounded soldier can recover his health at breakneck speed and go into battle again could not be more terrible.

Both light magic and water magic have healing powers, but they can't be compared to life for a number of reasons. The first is the light system, and the light system is inferior to the life system in two most important aspects. For one, the healing of light magic can impair the life potential of the injured. To put it simply, a person could have lived to be 100 years old, but after being seriously injured, he may only live to be 98 years old after being healed by light magic. The upper limit of those two years is consumed during the course of treatment. Water and life magic don't have this weakness.

Second, because the healing magic of the light system will consume the life potential of the person, after the treatment, the injured person will have a period of weakness, and the length of the weakening period depends on the severity of the injury, but even if it is a minor injury, there will be a weakness period of several hours, so the injured person who receives the healing magic of the light system cannot immediately return to the battle.

Although the healing magic of the water system does not damage the life potential of the injured person, it is inferior to the life system in two ways. For one, water-based healing magic is slow to take effect, and it can take hours or even a day to recover from minor injuries. This is unacceptable on the battlefield where every second counts.

Second, the healing magic of the water system is very expensive for magicians. Taking the same level 7 magician as an example, Yang Siqi could cast ten spells of rain of life and heal at least a thousand soldiers. But the seventh-level magician of the water system can only cast three healing magics of the same level and heal three hundred soldiers.

Because of this, life mages have the ability to influence the battlefield on the battlefield. A mage who can return to the battlefield in the shortest possible time and has the ability to heal a large area can sometimes make or break a war.

One day at the end of September, Ma Yuyao was ordered to send Yang Siqi a close-fitting soft inner armor. Such a soft inner armor has quite strong defense, it is a good thing to save life, such an inner armor, there are no three hundred gold coins to buy, and there is still a price, after all, no one will make much money with such a good thing to protect life.

"Chief Guard, can you tell Duke Ma, I need some information about your Pegasus Legion's war equipment, and see if she can send me a copy." Yang Siqi made a request.

Ma Yuyao was stunned: "What do you want this information for?" This is a kingdom secret. ”

"That's all I said, you can mention it to Duke Ma, whether she gives it to me or not is another matter." Yang Siqi said indifferently.

Ma Yuyao is an errand runner for her position between Ma and Yang, so she didn't ask, just go back and pass the word, as for whether Ma Mengshi agreed or not had nothing to do with her.

Late at night on the second night of October, Ma Mengshi visited again, but when Yang Siqi saw Ma Mengshi's face, a burst of pity flashed in his heart, because Ma Mengshi's face was not good. He was also a little haggard, obviously with a lot of pressure on his body.

Closing the door, Yang Siqi sighed and said, "Shi'er, I heard that the kingdom has transferred thirty middle-level officers from the Silver Eagle Legion to our Pegasus Legion because of the normal relationship between defense and defense, is there such a thing?" ”

If it was before, Yang Siqi would not be interested in these gossip, but now, Ma Mengshi is his own woman, and everything is related to the Tianma Army, how can Yang Siqi not care?

Ma Mengshi nodded: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"It's mixed with sand." Yang Siqi reminded.

Of course, Ma Mengshi is not stupid, and a group of middle-level officers have been transferred from other units, although these officers have no role in the decision-making of the entire Pegasus Legion, but it is obvious that this is the military department of the kingdom deliberately placing their own people among the Pegasus officers.

Linking this incident with the last time the military department was in arrears of military salaries, Ma Mengshi has begun to believe what Yang Siqi said. Although the Kingdom has not yet taken action against the Pegasus, it is clear that this is the beginning of the Kingdom's wariness of the Pegasus.

"Why is the Kingdom so kind to us?" Ma Mengshi felt powerless, the Ma family was loyal to the kingdom, and the people who died fighting for the kingdom in the past generations were talented, and the Ma family had confirmed their loyalty with their own blood and their own lives, but the kingdom did this, which was really chilling.

"That's because Shi'er, your ability is too strong." Yang Siqi sighed and said, "If your ability is poor, the Pegasus Legion is not like this to serve you, you don't have such a high prestige, and if you make the Pegasus Legion a monolith, the high-level of the kingdom will naturally not guard against you, but now, you are tantamount to turning the entire Pegasus Legion into the Ma family's private army, how can the kingdom not be wary of you?" ”

This one is the sorrow of the generals, if you can't get your subordinates to obey, the combat effectiveness of the troops will not be strong. But if you let your subordinates obey too much, to the point where you only know that there are generals but don't know that there is a king, then you have committed a big taboo, the military heart, only the monarch can grasp it, and others want to rob the army's heart, that is looking for death.

However, this is not because Ma Mengshi wants to win the hearts of the army, but because of her ability. A general who has won a hundred battles on the battlefield, plus there is no problem in terms of character, even if she has not thought about winning the heart of the army at all, the heart of the army will naturally be on her side. It wasn't that she consciously wanted to do this, but objectively, she had made the Pegasus Legion obey her alone, and the king's orders were not as valid as hers, and this was her way of taking trouble.

"What should I do?" Ma Mengshi asked, she wanted to hear Yang Siqi's opinion.

Yang Siqi smiled and said: "There are only two choices for a famous general who is suspicious of the superiors. First, disarming and returning to the field. If you give up the power of the Pegasus Legion, resign from all your positions, and return to your own territory to retire, then this disaster will be solved. I believe that the kingdom will not kill you who have already returned home to retire. ”

"What about the Troopus that day?"

"Naturally, someone else will be in command, Shi'er, and that has nothing to do with you anymore. Because, you have given up all your official positions, and it has nothing to do with you whether the Pegasus Legion is dead or alive. ”

"Dead or alive?" Ma Mengshi asked keenly.

"Yes, the kingdom will find a way to send a considerable part of the Pegasus Legion to their deaths. As long as these loyal warriors die in battle, then no matter what kind of mind you have, you will be a fish without water, and you will not be able to make any big waves. Of course, the top brass of the kingdom will not be too obvious, and will only kill people with swords, so that the Pegasus Legion will lose some of their troops in battle after battle, until most of the generals loyal to you are killed. Then, build a new Pegasus on top of the old Pegasus Legion, a Pegasus Legion that has nothing to do with you. ”

Yang Siqi said such a fact very cruelly. He almost uttered the words "Great Purge."

Ma Mengshi said weakly: "Not really, right?" ”

"What do you think?" Yang Siqi asked rhetorically.

Ma Mengshi was speechless, in fact, she had already approved Yang Siqi's speculation. Of course, in addition to this, there will be a series of means, including division and discord, in short, to dismantle the current Pegasus Army. For the Tiger Kingdom, it is not in the interests of the kingdom that a legion that may become the private army of the Ma family.

"What about the second option?"

"Plan ahead, see the move. This one depends on the poem, your skills. ”

"Plan ahead? What do you mean? ”

"It's about making all the preparations in advance to deal with the various intrigues of the kingdom. For example, how do you deal with the kingdom transferring a general from the Pegasus Legion to another position? Say yes or no? For example, if the kingdom excuses that there is not enough equipment in the military headquarters to prepare enough equipment for the Pegasus, how will the Pegasus respond to it? Wait a minute. All of this requires psychological preparation and a variety of countermeasures. ”

One of the best ways to deal with an already grouped legion is to break it up. By transferring most of the generals and middle-level officers under various pretexts and replenishing them with officers from other units, it will be possible to divide the force. This is one of the most commonly used and one of the best ways to do it.

"Most of the generals and soldiers of the Pegasus Legion are from my Ma family, and many of them are my Ma family's people for generations. Our Ma family has been stationed in Pegasus City for a long time to resist the invasion from the orcs, and the kingdom will not be short-sighted enough to weaken my Pegasus Legion, once my Pegasus Legion does not exist, I am afraid that the orcs will break through Pegasus City and drive straight in, and when the time comes, the kingdom's loss will be great. ”

To the south of Tianma City, there are almost all large plains with a flat river, and except for Tianma City, there is almost no danger to defend. It can be said that once the Pegasus City is broken, the wolf cavalry of the orcs will be able to wreak havoc on a large scale in several provinces in the northern part of the Tiger Kingdom. This is also the reason why the Tiger Kingdom has placed heavy troops here in Pegasus City.

Therefore, Pegasus City is absolutely impossible to lose for the Tiger Kingdom. As long as the high-level leaders of the Tiger Kingdom have not broken their brains, they will not destroy the Great Wall like this. Therefore, Ma Mengshi was very skeptical of what Yang Siqi said.
