"Report! Commander Lin, the scouts have come to report that two legions of the Qin army quietly left the Qin army's base camp half an hour ago and are heading southwest. So far, there is no real military intent!" In the middle of the night, a herald called Linda's dormitory, unceremoniously waking up the sleeping commander-in-chief of the Blue Star Expeditionary Force.

"Hmm... Very good! Immediately summon the members of the staff and gather in the conference room in five minutes!" After all, Linda is a real cultivator, but he does not have the habit of lying in bed as a mortal, as soon as he received the news, he immediately jumped up, simply washed up, and then pointed to the military uniform on the hanger, and the clothes, shoes and socks were automatically put on his body, and the whole person suddenly became energetic. He looked in the mirror, straightened his clothes, and strode out the door.

In less than five minutes, all the members of the staff of the Blue Star Army Base in Changshan City were gathered. Among the people present, in addition to Schroeder, a veteran, there are many young descendants of the Blue Star Army, these people are not only those who were promoted to officers by the Blue Star Clan when the Fan Army was established, but also the officers who were recruited and absorbed by the Fan Army when they grew up, and there are many officers who were trained after the establishment of the Blue Star Country. Of course, the youngest person present was of course Lynda's godson Rankie, who was allowed to participate in a meeting of this level for the first time, and seemed slightly excited, quietly looking at everyone from time to time, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Okay, everyone, let's talk about it now, what information did the Qin army have before this deployment? What are their intentions? What countermeasures should we have?" Lin Da glanced at everyone and immediately picked out the topic simply and clearly.

After a moment of silence, it was Schroeder who said first: "These guys are very strange this time, they are very cunning in order to escape in the night, what should they do, will they plan to attack us? ”

"Well, I also think Qin Jun's actions are a bit strange. It stands to reason that they wouldn't give up like that. Perhaps the two moving legions were just a front, either to find another direction of attack, or to lure our army out and set a trap to besiege our army. In short, I think it is necessary to strengthen the tracking of the movements of the Qin army, and to be vigilant against any of their actions. Shen Hao, the deputy commander of the Flying Dragon Legion, continued.

Major General Hader, the deputy commander of the Flying Leopard Legion, said: "I think the Qin army may have a big military operation in the near future. During this period of time, you should have found that the military operations of the Qin army have decreased a lot, except for the main force of the hundreds of thousands of troops who confronted us here, the other hundreds of thousands of troops were all scattered in various places, and there was no obvious assembly. Now that it has been silent for so long, the sudden dispatch of the 40,000 troops of these two legions should be a signal that the Qin army is preparing to carry out a large-scale operation. ”

Linda nodded and said, "Well, that's good, that's a good point. But if you analyze it, where is the next direction of the Qin army's attack?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately expressed their opinions.

"Will these two legions bypass Changshan City, go around a big circle to the south, directly attack the rear of the Yan Kingdom, and cut off the connection between our country and the Yan Kingdom? If this is the case, then the threat to us will be great!"

"No way. It must be difficult for such a large army to move to deceive our tracking, and the Qin army must know this, if they attack our rear directly, we will have time to send more troops to encircle and annihilate this Qin army. It's just too risky for them. ”

"Then will they directly attack our country? In the eyes of the Qin army, our Blue Star Country is the weakest existence among the land countries in Dongyan Continent, maybe their next direct attack target will be us!"

"Just kidding! With just 40,000 people, it's like attacking our country? We have hundreds of thousands of garrison corps on the border line! Are you still afraid of this? What's more, if they want to kill our country, they will have to pass through the already divided Yue Kingdom, right? But isn't the Yue Kingdom now occupied by the Chu State? The Qin army is unlikely to compete with the Chu State for the Yue Kingdom, right?"

"Well, Qin and Chu are allies now, but these two countries are just using each other, do you think it's possible that Qin's target this time will be Chu?"

"How is this possible! The State of Chu is not comparable to Yan Zhao and Wei, and it is unlikely that the State of Qin will tear up with the State of Chu before it completely destroys the two countries of Yan and Zhao, right?"

"Yes, I think that the target of the Qin army's attack is very likely to be us, maybe they have made an agreement with the Chu State in private, and they want to attack us through the Yue Kingdom. I think we should immediately inform the country that it is the most important thing to strengthen the border defense forces. ”

"That's right, if our country is attacked, won't our support army have to withdraw? Then Yan and Zhao will not be able to get strong reinforcements, won't they be easily captured by Qin? It seems that Qin is very likely to only attack us on the surface, but the actual target of the attack is still Yan and Zhao!"

"Well, what should we do when we meet enemies at both ends?"

"What are you afraid of, he will fight him, I will fight ours! When our three garrison corps arrive, we will first concentrate our forces to wipe out the main force of the Qin army here, and then attack the capital of Qin in one fell swoop!"

"What a lot of courage! But even if this Qin State is missing two legions, there are still as many as eighty or ninety thousand people, it is not easy to defeat. ”

"Well, don't dream about it, how can it be so easy to destroy the main force of this Qin army? Without paying the price of tens of thousands of casualties, it is simply impossible, even if we defeat this Qin army, in the end, it will not be in vain to cheapen the two countries of Yan and Zhao?"

...

Everyone said a word, and the discussion was extremely enthusiastic. After listening to everyone's words, Lin Da was also thoughtful in his heart, and kept thinking about the next various actions of the Qin army. And the discussion of everyone is getting louder and louder, and there are more and more speculations put forward, full of various ideas, which makes Linda's judgment a little confused.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly came from a corner of the venue, which made everyone surprised.

"Can I tell me what I think?"

The person who said this turned out to be Rankie, who had been silent in the corner all along.

"Oh, I thought it was Ranji. Why, after listening to so many uncles and brothers, do you also want to express your opinions?"

"Rangi, we're holding a military meeting, and all the speeches here have to be recorded. You're not a member of the Staff Committee, so I'm not right?" said one of the officers in charge of recording the meeting to Rankie, who had clearly declined his request, though in a more amiable tone, but at the same time glanced at Linda casually.

Linda nodded slightly, agreeing with the officer's approach. He knows very well that it is easy to establish a system, but it is difficult to maintain the system, and it is his personal opinion to let Xiao Rangi participate in a meeting of this level, and he originally just planned to let this godson have a good look, which is already a bit against the rules. If Rangi is allowed to speak, it will be even more "messy". So, Linda said kindly to little Rangie: "Rankie, this is not the place for you to speak, if there is anything, we will talk about it later." ”

Hearing that even Linda was against him, the young man's face showed a trace of disappointment and dissatisfaction, he bit his lip lightly, he didn't know what to do, but the thought in his heart was so strong that he hesitated and struggled.

Seeing Xiao Lanji's appearance, Lin Da was also a little helpless, thought about it for a moment, and then turned to everyone and said, "Okay, let's continue to discuss, what is Qin Jun's true intention?"

"The Qin army will attack the state of Chu! This is certain!" a childish but determined voice shouted out from a corner of the venue, making everyone suddenly surprised.

This turned out to be what Rangi said!

"Rankie, don't talk nonsense, if you mess around, you'll let me out!" Linda was a little annoyed when she saw Rankie's unexpected words, and she began to reflect a little on whether she was a little too lenient in her usual education for him.

"No! I'm just going to say! The goal of the Qin State is the Chu State! They haven't fought with us for so long, just to accumulate strength to deal with the Chu State, and this time the Qin army is mobilizing, in fact, they are gathering forces to attack the Chu State! But in order to confuse us, they will..."

"That's enough, Rangie, now you go out! this is not the place for a kid like you!" Linda finally became a little annoyed, and he couldn't listen to Rangie's words.

At this time, Schroeder on the side stopped Linda, he turned to Rankie, and asked kindly: "Rankie, why did you say that the Qin State was going to attack the Chu State this time, and on what basis did you make such a judgment?"

Rangie winked at Schroeder gratefully, and said happily: "Uncle Schroeder, thank you for letting me continue! Think about it, everyone, isn't the goal of the Qin State to unify the Dongyan Continent? To achieve this goal, then all the countries in the Dongyan Continent are his enemies! Since they are enemies, if they have the chance, he will definitely clean them up, whether it is Yan Zhao or Chu State? Don't look at the fact that Qin and Chu are allies now, when it comes to turning their faces, I am afraid that it will be much more fierce than attacking Yan Zhao and Wei! And after the destruction of Wei and the defeat of the combined forces of Yan and Zhao, Qin must have thought that these two countries were no longer a threat to them, and our country could not become a climate in the eyes of Qin, and the only thing that could hinder its unification of Dongyanzhou was only the still powerful Chu State, so no matter what, Qin and Chu must have a war. ”

"Since the beginning of the war, the Qin State has carved up the Wei State with the Chu State very tacitly, and supported them to occupy the various departments of the Yue State, and the main force of the Qin State is not deployed on the border of the Chu State, these practices have long blinded the high-level of the Chu State. If the Qin State kills a horse gun now and suddenly attacks the Chu State, it will definitely achieve great success, and it can even deal a fatal blow to the Chu State! You see that the Qin State has not carried out large-scale military operations for a period of time, and perhaps it is to prepare for the purpose of dealing with the Chu State, and those two moving corps may be one of the main forces attacking the Chu State, which is also a signal that the Qin army has begun to assemble and attack. ”

Hearing Xiao Lanji's astonishing judgment, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't speak for a while, and even Lin Da was quite surprised, because Xiao Lanji's words were indeed reasonable and unquestionable.

"Little Rankie, are you sure about this idea?" Schroeder asked a little solemnly.

"Of course, of course, and I also think that in order to confuse the Chu State and cover up its true offensive intentions, the Qin State will launch provocations against us from time to time from now on, and frequently use troops on the Yanzhao border, so that the Chu State thinks that they are still putting the main offensive target on us, but in fact, I am afraid that the Qin State has long been ready to launch a fatal blow against the Chu State!"

Hearing this, everyone was silent again, and this somewhat awkward atmosphere made Xiao Rangie think that what he said just now was wrong or not.

At this moment, Lin Da's face suddenly changed, as if he had a premonition, and then, a hurried phone suddenly rang, and the officer in charge of recording picked up the phone, and after a while, he looked at Xiao Lanji with a strange face, and then reported to Lin Da: "Commander Lin, there is news from the Yanzhao coalition army that a unit of the Qin army is attacking Changshan City, but it looks like the scale is not large. ”
