"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable!" Yun Tianjia said: "Ma Zhenyang is not as simple as you see. If I'm not mistaken, his cultivation has also reached at least the peak of the sixth order. It's just that he didn't know what means he used to hide his strength, and even I could hide it. ”

Luo Erniang was shocked and said: "There is still such a thing? Then why don't you break it?"

"He doesn't do evil, and he doesn't offend us, so why embarrass him?" Yun Tianjia smiled and said: "In the troubled times, in order to protect themselves, who doesn't have a little secret?"

Luo Erniang seemed to mean something when she heard him, and her identity was also a little sensitive, so she didn't ask any more questions, and secretly remembered Yun Tianjia's words in her heart.

Yun Tianjia walked slowly with his hands in his hands and said: "The autumn wind is getting cooler, and it looks like it is about to enter winter." I don't know what happened to the county lord, Long Yuandong, and He Dali. ”

Luo Erniang was silent, and also remembered the crescent moon white in the Crescent Moon Empire, and Lucia, who had always cooperated happily with her.

Yun Tianjia took out a map from his arms and said, "Luo Erniang, you help me do something." Go find some craftsmen and make a large sand table ten meters square with red clay, white sand, rice milk, and chaff according to the appearance of this map. ”

"This is the topographic map of the Tuhao Empire?" Luo Erniang said: "I haven't done this, I don't know if I can do it well?"

"It doesn't matter, you bring someone in, prepare the materials, and when you do it, I'll teach you. Yun Tianjia said: "With the real-life sand table, coupled with the news collected from various channels, we can deduce the military situation across the country, and deal with things in a timely manner." ”

Ten days later, on the top of the Immortal Tomb, the Chinese army tent.

After reading the information he had just received, Yun Tianjia closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then walked to the sand table and inserted the newly made yellow flag, colorful flag, and black flag into the corresponding positions.

The yellow flag represents the officers and troops of the Tuhao Empire, and the words forbidden army, garrison army, border army, and government army are marked on it, which respectively imply the troops of different factions.

The flags are large and small, divided into a variety of specifications, representing different numbers of troops, the smallest flag is equivalent to 500 people, and the largest flag is equivalent to 10,000 people.

The colorful flags represent the rebels of the Five Elements Sect, and they are also distinguished by words and sizes according to the information collected from various parties.

The black flag represents the Three Murder Sects that are still alive and the Spiritualist Sect that has a mysterious whereabouts.

As you can see from the sand table, the black flag only falls sporadically in a remote corner very occasionally, occupying a very limited number of places, and even more limited in number, if you don't pay attention, you will even ignore it directly.

The reason why Yun Tianjia solemnly marked it was because he knew that the Spiritualist Sect was by no means as weak as it seemed.

According to the information he had, outside the territory of the Tuhao Empire, including the entire Qinglong Continent and other continents, traces of the Spiritualist Sect could also be seen from time to time.

It is like a stealthy assassin, on the surface the wind and waves are calm and calm, but once it exerts its strength, it will surely change the color of the heavens and the earth.

However, at present, on the bright side, the Spiritualist Sect has not officially entered the field of vision of the officials and troops of the Tuhao Empire.

The previous loss of Hanyuan County, as well as the battle of Yun Tianjia's heavy attack on the Three Fierce Gates in the Immortal Tomb, did not attract the attention of the royal upper echelons, including He Xiaoduo.

After He Xiaoduo received the good news from Wang Yuting and Yun Tianjia, he only gave regular rewards and encouragement, and promoted Yun Tianjia's military rank from the regular military captain of the sixth rank to the general of the fifth grade, and instructed Yun Tianjia to step up training and be ready to fight at any time.

It is said that Long Yuandong has been officially promoted to the general of Zhengwupinzhong, and the strength of the Longhe army led by him has already reached the full quota of 5,000 people.

Yun Tianjia has always believed that the soldiers are fine but not many, the quality of the soldiers is too low, and blindly expanding the army will only drag down the combat effectiveness of the army.

On the entire dark red sand table, the yellow flag representing the officers and troops still occupies the majority, covering more than four-fifths of the area.

The five-color flags symbolizing the bandit army of the Five Elements Sect are mainly concentrated in the southeast corner area, including Huzhou, Tongzhou, and Jianzhou in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the six prefectures of Jiangzhou, Ningzhou, and Tongzhou on both sides of the Nanjiang River, but they are not all occupied, as if a few drops of colored ink are dropped on the lower right of a yellow canvas, and they are smeared into blocks.

The overall situation of the bandit army was surrounded by the border army and the garrison. The two sides of the official and bandit are intertwined, forming a distinct three areas: the occupied area, the belligerent zone, and the security ruling zone.

However, Yun Tianjia also carefully discovered that in the rear of the six western states, the five northern states, and the five central states in the ruling area, there were also traces of small bandit armies, who either led a small uprising, or fled into the mountains to become kings, or moved into the mountains to fight, attacking and harassing the officials and troops, seemingly unrelated, but faintly with a unified leadership.

Yun Tianjia boldly speculated that the rebellion across the country would have a tendency to be one after another, and under the short silence of the stalemate, an earth-shattering general outbreak was brewing.

Yun Tianjia also used yellow, colorful, and black wooden bark arrows to mark the movements and postures of each army, and from then on, all the large-scale military forces in the Tuhao Empire were seen at a glance in the sand table.

He looked at the sand table ten meters square, which occupied almost the entire big tent, but felt that the rivers and rivers were full of smoke, horses' hooves were stepping on iron, and soldiers were in the wilderness, and he couldn't help but feel the worry of Daxing Lusu.

"Sigh long to hide the weeping, lament the hardships of the people's livelihood! No matter what the world, the people are the most suffering. ”

He was sad for a while, and then thought again, in my previous life, I tried my best to study physics, and I planned to use my own strength to save the world, but in the end it was empty.

God has mercy on my original intention and let me be fortunate to be reborn in another world, shouldn't I do something for this world?

Moreover, when a man is in the world, he should have begged for violence and defended the weak, defended the weak, poured out his blood, rectified the chaos, asked for the people's lives, and returned the world to a bright future!

Thinking of this, a surge of pride rose in his heart, and the previous heaviness and depression were swept away, and there was more of a trace of fortitude on his face.

Gong Luoluo naturally didn't know Yun Tianjia's complicated thoughts, and looked at the sand table with amazement on the side, and praised: "I also practiced the art of war, but I didn't know that the map could still be used like this." I can learn a lot of new things by following you!"

Yun Tianjia joked: "You followed me, it turned out that you came to learn things." I thought you were working hard just to find a good son-in-law for your father. ”

"What are you looking for a son-in-law?" Gong Luoluo replied casually, and immediately reacted, and said angrily: "Death fortune teller! I see that you have itchy skin, and I want to try the taste of breaking the turtle shell!"

Where would Yun Tianjia be afraid of her bluffing intimidation, and quipped: "I'm dead, are you willing?"

Gong Luoluo twisted his waist, put on a posture, waved his hand, and said, "You see if I am willing!"

Yun Tianjia saw that she was really about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly hugged his head and ran away, willing to bow down.

Yun Tianjia knew that Gong Luoluo liked him, but he wanted to save face, so he refused to admit it. The military is lonely, I don't know when, I don't know which nerve is involved, Yuntian Jia Xingxing, intentionally or unintentionally made fun of Gong Luoluo, Gong Luoluo was disgusted, seemed to be annoyed, but in fact, he secretly liked it in his heart.

This increased Yun Tianjia's arrogance even more, and from time to time he teased twice unintentionally, which was a pleasure.

Luo Erniang, who was waiting on the side, obviously saw the tenderness and sweetness of the two, flirting and scolding, and felt a tingling in her heart for no reason, but she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, as if she did not exist.
