Chapter Ninety-Four: A Covenant of the One
The peacock sighed lightly, "King, the peacock is just telling the truth. The peacock's loyalty to the king has always been clear to the king. Since a few years ago, the five of us from the Five Poison Islands gathered and joined the king's command, what the peacocks did, what they did, the king should know. ”
Chu Tiankuo didn't speak, just "hummed".
The peacock himself smiled, "In order to control the desert, the three of them secretly infiltrated the hermit tribe, or rather, they used to live there, but they joined us later, but now they are gone, right? And that He Mi is also, in addition to offering advice to the king, in order to have difficulties to harm the Xuanling Emperor, what else did he do? The king is now only angry with one of my daughters, which really makes me feel miserable. ”
Chu Tiankuo said, "Now is not the time to discuss these. As a national teacher, what do you think we should do now?"
Peacock said, "King, we had an agreement at that time. You are the king, and you will reopen a suitable breeding place for the Five Poisons Island. So, our destiny is tied to you. The Xuanling army is overwhelmed, and I have always been depressed in my heart. To solve this problem, it is necessary to find a way from the root. ”
"The first way is to defeat the Xuanling Kingdom. But now it seems, impossible. The second way is to find out He Mi and use it as capital to negotiate with Xuanling, and we will show weakness to see if they can let them go. The third method is to severely defeat the Xuanling Army and make them dare not enter. Peacock paused, "There are only these three ways to consider." ”
Chu Tiankuo said, "You said that there are three ways, but in fact, there is only one choice, that is, in exchange, what to find." However, at this point, even if you hand over He Mi and detoxify Emperor Xuanling, how could they withdraw from the army? If you don't get along with He Mi, you won't take this opportunity to harm him. ”
Peacock said, "The main purpose of the Xuanling Army's trip, doesn't the king know? They are mainly here to find an antidote to the Quartet. In addition, there is not only one option for these three methods. The third method can also be tried. ”
Chu Tiankuo said, "Defeat the Xuanling Army? The Xuanling Army is not less than 100,000, and you don't agree to use the Five Ghosts to entangle, what kind of setback? Besides, even if the Five Ghosts are used, do you think we can win?"
Peacock said, "The king must have heard that in the Xuanling Army, all the way this time, the vanguard army is fighting. And in the vanguard army, there is a so-called middle route army, which is extremely heroic and is its backbone. This force has less than 1,000 people. And its commander, it is said, was less than twenty years old. ”
Chu Tiankuo said, "That's right. Are you trying to fight this team? But, as far as I can tell, none of us can compete with such a team. ”
Peacock said, "The team is not good, what about people? How high can a twenty-year-old child be cultivated? If we can find a suitable person, and then use the five ghosts to kill this child, the middle route army will inevitably be discouraged." Then take the opportunity to kill the middle route army, and the combat power of the vanguard army will be reduced by at least half. If we can defeat the vanguard army that we are facing before the army comes from behind, it will also be our capital for negotiation. ”
Chu Tiankuo thought about it and said with a wry smile, "Don't think about things too simply. That Ding Qin, how could he be so easily fooled? In addition, the governor of the province directly under him beside him, it is said that his spiritual power cultivation has reached the fifth or sixth level of the second order, who can get into it?"
Peacock smiled slightly, "Ding Qin's father disappeared more than three years ago, maybe, we can take advantage of this." If the big * is better than me, why don't you let me do it. ”
Chu Tiankuo pondered for a long time, "The distance between the Xuanling army and the current vanguard army is only two days. Can you do it in two days?"
Peacock slowly brushed his hair with his right hand, "I'll try it." ”

Pioneer barracks tent.
During this period of time, Ding Qin's Middle Route Army has performed quite conspicuously in the vanguard army, which undoubtedly justified Ding Qin's name. Although Lu Mian and Shi Xi were still prejudiced against Ding Qin, they no longer sneered and sneered at him now.
"There are still about 100 miles away from Changmao Town, and this critical battle is close at hand. How to play in Changmao Town, let's talk about it. Xu Zhi promised to gather all these people and ask for advice as usual.
Ding Qin didn't wait for the two of them, and took the lead in speaking, "Changmao Town is their key gathering point, and in order to protect the successor force, it is absolutely impossible to use the five ghosts in large numbers. We should immediately begin a harassing offensive to break down the enemy's morale and, once the army arrives, take the town of Changmao in one fell swoop. ”
Lu Mian disagreed, "Although what Ding Qin said is reasonable, the number of enemy troops is unknown, and our strength to carry out offensive attacks is also insufficient. No matter what kind of attack it is, unless it is Ding Qin's commando team that conducts an air attack, it is considered an offensive battle. And the commando team has less than a hundred people. ”
Shisi expressed a similar opinion. Ding Qin smiled slightly, "There are less than 100 commandos in the assault team, but it doesn't mean that there can only be 100 people in the air." If the two generals don't mind and each draw a number of eligible personnel from the ranks, I can make the air harassment team reach hundreds or even thousands. ”
Lu Mian and Shi Xi were both stunned. "So, aren't you going to leak the glider method?"
In their hearts, the glider must be an untold secret of Ding Qin and the commandos.
Ding Qin shook his head, "What is there that should not be leaked by the method of gliding wings? As long as the materials are sufficient, I can arm the entire vanguard army." It's just that not everyone is suitable for a hang glider. ”
Lu Mian and Shi Xi were both surprised. "You mean, we can use it too?"
Ding Qin smiled naturally, "We are both vanguard troops, what are you and ours? The middle route army is the vanguard army, and the left and right roads are also vanguard armies." ”
His words were equivalent to slapping the faces of the two people. In the past, when the Middle Route Army was not a weapon, these two people were never willing to classify the Middle Route Army as a vanguard army.
After speaking, Ding Qin directly took out two drawings, "According to these two drawings, you can make a glider." Once the system is complete, the selection will be possible. In addition, there is also a way to make fire thunder on the picture. ”
Xu Zhinuo smiled with satisfaction at this time. When Lu Mian and Shi Xi were about to say something more, someone knocked on the door outside to report, and handed Ding Qin a letter after coming in.
Ding Qin flipped through the envelope and found that it was written with the words Ding Qin personally opened. The envelope was tightly sealed, and there should only be one page inside, and Ding Qin carefully opened it after confirming it.
Inside is a pale pink piece of paper, vaguely with a special aroma. A neat and beautiful line of words was written on it: If you want to know where Ding Shouyi went, after dark, go to the top of Changsong Mountain. Note that only one person can come.
As soon as he saw this letter, Ding Qin's face couldn't help but change abruptly.
Of course, Xu Zhinuo discovered Ding Qin's abnormality and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Ding Qin handed the letter in his hand to Xu Zhinuo. Xu Zhinuo glanced at it and shook his head again and again, "It's impossible, how can it be." Except for the emperor, no one knew where Ding Shouyi had gone. ”
Ding Qin said slowly, "But, what if someone meets him?"
Xu Zhi promised, "I don't think it's very likely." If he really revealed information to you, why did he have to see you alone? Moreover, now that the war is urgent, I am afraid that this is a trick of the enemy. ”
Ding Qin sighed lightly, "It's about my father's whereabouts, even if it's a conspiracy, I'm going to go." There was an eager glint in his eyes, "I hope you all know this." ”
Xu Zhinuo nodded, "Your mood is understandable. However, the other party chose to be at night, which has to remind people of the characteristics of the poison of the five ghosts. Besides, you're also famous, what if they want to use it against you to contain the Middle Lane Army?"
"Then let them know that the Middle Route Army can fight without me. After I left, the command of the Central Route Army was temporarily handed over to Feng Lei. Ding Qin thought about it again and turned to Lu Mian and Shi Xi, "If the middle route army is in danger during the operation, I hope the two generals will help in time." ”
Lu Mian and Shi Xi were quite surprised. At this time, Ding Qin actually put down the shelves and let them take care of their troops.
Ding Qin didn't say anything more, turned around and prepared to walk out. Before he could go out, another communications officer came in and reported, "In Changmao Town, there is a force coming from the city to our side, about 6,000 people. It moves very quickly, and may be trying to fight us before the arrival of the large army. ”
Ding Qin shook his head when he heard this. "Impossible. They're not going to fight us. The combat strength of the vanguard army they knew that if they wanted to fight, it would be impossible to send only 6,000 men. They don't have a chance of winning. If I'm not mistaken, they're trying to slow down our attack on Changmao. ”
Xu Zhi promised, "What Ding Qin said is right. Why don't we make a plan? Lu Mian Shixi, you immediately make a glider and pick out the personnel. The rest of the forces gathered and approached this force as fast as they could. ”
Ding Qin listened to Xu Zhi's promise to make such an arrangement, did not participate, and left the Chinese army's tent on his own. When he arrived at Feng Lei, he briefly explained to Feng Lei, then called the green wolf Fat Dun and went to Changsong Mountain alone.
Changsong Mountain, between the current garrison of the Vanguard Army and the town of Changmao. The mountain is not very high, it is estimated that it is less than 100 meters from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, but the pine trees on it are dense, which is also the origin of the name of Changsong Mountain.
Such a place is best suited for ambushes.
Of course, Ding Qin also knew.
However, when it comes to news from his father, he has no choice and does not want to choose.
Even if he suspected that 99 percent of the time was a trap, he didn't want to give up the only glimmer of hope.
At Ding Qin's current speed, after arriving there, the sun will not set, and there will be a period of time to prepare. Of course, it is not excluded that the conspiracy will not wait until the sun goes down.
"Fat Dun," Ding Qin patted its head when there were less than five miles to Linshan, "When the time comes, if there is danger, you can withdraw first." ”
