Chapter 174: Sending Troops to Suppress Bandits (I)

From Hua Long's words, Prime Minister Rong Te already roughly knew that this was what Tarex did, although it caused Hua Long and the civilians to get too close, but the result was good, because the number of theft and robbery cases in the area has decreased significantly, and the vicious incidents that endanger stability are also on the decline, so His Majesty will also have a good evaluation of Hua Long's political achievements.

Therefore, Prime Minister Rongte did not object, but he still carefully reminded Hua Long: "Don't get too close to civilians, keep a certain distance, and participate in more upscale social gatherings." ”

Hua Long nodded.

"By the way, your brother saved the three commanders on the front line before, and the credit is not small!" The prime minister's words were obviously ironic, as for the reason, everyone on the earth knew it, that is, a legion was actually damaged by more than half of the bandits, and what was more serious was that the three commanders almost died, if this matter became true, then the soldiers of the Cold Moon Empire would become the laughing stock of everyone on the continent, and even more seriously, even the Fire Empire was likely to take this opportunity to send troops.

In that case, the Cold Moon Empire would likely find itself in an embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts.

And this news also made Hua Long feel a little uneasy, but he didn't say anything.

"The military department has drafted a document and is ready to officially appoint Hua Yun as the commander of ten thousand soldiers, if he can exterminate the bandit army again this time, I am afraid that he will be able to be promoted to commander directly!" Prime Minister Rongte's face suddenly showed a trace of unease, he knew that Marshal Ron had not really fallen, this old man who had controlled the imperial military power for decades would definitely take revenge with an unprecedented storm, right?

Huayun must be stopped!

At this moment, Prime Minister Rongte's heart has already moved to kill!

......

The Great Tent of the Heavenly Thunder Legion.

Don't look at this as the high headquarters of the legion, in fact, it is a slightly larger tent, with a small long table in it, covered with yellow maps, and there is nothing else in the whole tent as far as the eye can see.

Only Commander Watt Gaddy and Markham and Xuejie were present at this meeting, and only Hua Yun, who was the acting commander of the Legion, stood in the center.

Why are there only a few of them? Actually, it's not hard to explain.

Not to mention that more than half of the Heavenly Thunder Legion was lost, the army in the hands of the three Heavenly Tiger brothers was almost wiped out, and only the fourth column led by Watt Gadi was still complete, and the total number of the Heavenly Thunder Legion was only about 100,000, but the material was still sufficient.

And Huayun feels different today than usual!

On his body, there was a faint strong momentum, which even Markham and Xuejie felt.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because his martial arts have improved, and more importantly, he already knows the exact location of the bandit army and the movement of the next ten days, so he urgently summoned everyone and prepared a plan to deploy the battle.

"Where's Lord Gario?" asked Hua Yun.

Hua Yun is still grateful for this fat pig, otherwise he would not have become the acting commander for his stupidity, of course, he is only exonerating himself, in case he is defeated in the future, he can use himself as a scapegoat, maybe the three Tianhu brothers don't come, maybe they think the same!

"They've already gone out to the surrounding towns to collect food. Xue Jie explained.

Of course, although it is said to be raising food, it may be more appropriate to say that it is running away.

However, Hua Yun didn't care too much, because if they were there, it would be a little in the way, "I invited you here today to discuss with you about sending troops!"

Dispatch troops?

It wasn't just Xue Jie who was surprised, but even Watt Gady, who had always been calm, showed a surprised expression.

After all, they don't know the status and location of the bandit army at present, and the Cangyu Corps can only mobilize 100,000 soldiers at present......

"Can I ask questions?" Watt Gaddi is a standard soldier, and he is quite respectful to Hua Yun, whose "position" is higher than his own.

Hua Yun nodded suddenly.

"There are two questions: first, do you know the location and movement of the bandit army? Second, do you know the current situation of our army?"

The question of Watt Gaddi was exactly what Xue Jie and the others wanted to ask.

"I'll answer your question!" Hua Yun walked to the map, then pointed to Du Du and said: "Everyone should know that the bandit army is currently hidden somewhere between the Malu Forest and the East Malu Forest, and the strength is about 300,000, which is equivalent to the entire strength of Xiaoyao City, so what will happen to Xiaoyao City if the bandit army is in Malu Forest?"

Following the place Hua Yun pointed to, Markham on the side replied, "The Easy City will become an empty city." ”

"That's good!" Hua Yun said again: "Since Xiaoyao City is an empty city, then Your Majesty will definitely seize the opportunity to send the nearest Bright Star Legion to attack, and once the bandit army gets this news, the result can be imagined!"

Watt Gadi immediately understood what Hua Yun meant, so he responded: "This is just a guess, not a fact!" After a while, he asked again: "Do you mean to let our army ambush the bandit army on the way back to Xiaoyao City, and then attack it unprepared?"

"That's right!"

Watt Gadi shook his head, "But you still haven't said the location and movement of the bandits, if you can't even grasp the direction of the opponent, how can you attack them unprepared?"

Hua Yun smiled, his laughter was full of confidence, "Yes, I can't answer your question, but that doesn't mean that I don't know the movements of the bandits! If the previous prediction is correct, then the bandit army should return to Xiaoyao City in the near future, everyone, please look at the map!" Hua Yun pointed to several rivers and streams that cut through the forest and said: "There are only two ways for the bandit army, one is to go directly to Xiaoyao City through the Babylon Gorge, and the other is to cross the Malu River and cross the Dos Plain back to Xiaoyao City!"

"That's true, but which one will the bandit army choose?" Xue Jie expressed his concern, "Besides, it is still unknown when the Shining Star Legion will attack or not, I think ......"

"I make two bold predictions, first, Your Majesty's messenger will soon send the news of the Shining Star Legion's attack on Escape, and ask us and the Mighty Legion to contain the bandits, and second, our scouts will soon report back that they have found bandits somewhere in the forest and are heading towards Escape. ”

Was he stupid? Or did he not study military affairs in the first place? Watt Gaddi was very distrustful of Hua Yun's judgment, "I'm sorry, your reasons don't seem to be convincing, everything is just your conjecture!

"Hua Yun ......" Just when Xue Jie wanted to break the deadlock, a voice came from afar.

"Your Majesty's will, the Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Thunder Legion receives the order!"

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Hua Yun, who was smiling, respectfully accepted the holy decree.

"Your Majesty has ordered the Shining Star Legion to attack Easy City, and the Heavenly Thunder Legion and the Haoyun Legion only need to guard the Maru Forest. The messenger left in a hurry.

The tent immediately fell silent, but Commander Watt Gaddy, who had just disagreed with Hua Yun's opinion, was already shaken, and he looked at the young soldier in front of him with incredulous eyes.

Hua Yun put the holy decree away, and then set his eyes on the entrance of the camp, seeing that the posture was waiting for the scout soldiers he had mentioned earlier.

Will the scouts really come to report on the movements of the bandits?

Watt Gadi kept shaking his head in his heart, because there had been no news of the bandit army for more than ten days, and there were basically not many scouts who went out to come back alive, so there was basically no such thing as a scout coming back "suddenly" to report the news.

But just when he thought so!

"Your Excellency!" a scout captain hurriedly ran in, only ten minutes after the messenger left, he gasped for breath, looking anxious and speechless...... Army...... Bandit ......"

"Did you spot the bandits?" said Watt Gaddi as he became anxious.

"Yes! Yes!" the scout nodded hurriedly, "Bandits have been spotted on the west bank of the Maru River, and it looks like they are cutting trees to cross the river!"

This news immediately made everyone feel excited!

Watt Gadi hurriedly compared the map, and then said, "If we bypass the Maru River from here, we can reach the Dos Plains before they doss!"

Hua Yun shook his head.

"Didn't you just say we're going to ambush them?

"Don't you think the news came too suddenly?"

"Suddenly?" he thought for a moment, then replied, "Didn't you predict that the scouts would spot the bandits?

Hua Yun pointed to the map and said: "What I mean by sudden refers to the source of the news, if you think about it carefully, the scouts have returned in vain for more than ten consecutive days, but now they suddenly find that the bandits are cutting down trees by the river, what does this mean?"

"You're saying they're putting out fake news, when in fact the real place to pass through is the Babylon Canyon and not the Maru River, right?" Xue Jie's mind reacted quickly.

"It's still your guess. Watt Gardy was a little unconvinced, in fact, he also agreed with Hua Yun's point of view in his heart, but he was not as good as a yellow-haired boy who had just graduated from the army for many years, which made him feel a little embarrassed, so he subconsciously decided to make things difficult for Hua Yun.

"It's not a guess!" Hua Yun's attitude was slightly tougher: "The source of the Malu River comes from the snow-capped mountains, and it is already spring at this time, the ice and snow melt, the river water naturally rises and becomes turbulent, and the bandits are numerous, and they have to rush back to Xiaoyao City, how can they choose to cut down trees to cross the river! The only possibility is that they use a blindfold to deliberately expose the target and try to lure us into it." ”

When Hua Yun said this, Watt Gardy suddenly admired Hua Yun's wisdom.

"Then what do you say?" Watt Gady put on a posture of following Hua Yungan.

After thinking for a moment, Hua Yun said, "I think ......"
