Chapter 155: Resource Wars
On the second day, a round of golden morning sun rises from the east, and a new day begins!
Bian Chuan, Xiao Quan, and Win Wudao returned to the Nine Emperor Prince's Mansion from the Alchemist Guild, and they worked all night, and finally this level passed!
"Huh......" Bian Chuan took a breath of fresh morning air, it was good to see the morning sun of the new day.
"Your Royal Highness, is this a list of claims sent by the Marquis of Yiyong?" However, before the three of them had their buttocks hot, a steward hurriedly walked in.
"What! claim list?" Hearing the word claim, the hearts of the three of them instantly lifted.
At noon yesterday, several people went to the Alchemist Guild to negotiate with Shangguan Xinghe, but the reception lady said that President Shangguan was holding an emergency meeting and asked them to wait.
After waiting for five hours, the meeting was finally finished when the sun set, and seeing a group of alchemists coming out of the conference room, the three of them thought it was time to summon, but the young lady said that President Shangguan was tired and needed to take a rest, and waited.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally, they met Shangguan Xinghe himself, but Shangguan Xinghe went to the opposite teahouse to drink tea, and the tea time did not talk about personal matters, and the three of them could only drink tea together absentmindedly.
After drinking this cup of night tea for two hours, Shangguan Xinghe returned to the hall of the Alchemist Guild, and the three of them finally found a chance to speak, but before they could talk for a few words, a group of alchemists rushed up, asking for explanations and demonstrations.
Shangguan Xinghe answered them one by one in a kind and generous manner, with a mindset of teaching and classlessness, until the end, it was already five o'clock in the morning.
Finally, looking at the three people who were about to have spider webs on their heads, they said in a deep voice: "There is still half an hour before dawn, and I still have to deal with the daily chores of the guild when it is dawn, if there is anything, let's talk quickly." ”
The time was tight and he couldn't afford too much bargaining, so the Nine Emperor Princes went straight to the point and offered to pay two billion in compensation.
Shangguan Xinghe did not speak.
The Nine Emperors had no bottom in their hearts, and immediately raised the price to four billion.
Shangguan Xinghe frowned slightly.
The Nine Emperor Princes hurriedly rose by another two billion, climbing a few to a terrifying six billion!
"Well, I would have said a billion would be enough, young man...... Eight billion is eight billion, and the compensation will be sent to the front desk before dawn, and I will not accompany me if I am very busy!"
The deal was reached, Shangguan Xinghe did not forget to disgust the three of them, and then yawned and walked to the room where he was.
As the prince of the dynasty, when did he receive such treatment, but when he thought of the identity of the other party and the earnest teachings of the Heavenly Wolf King before leaving, he had to endure it.
But what does this list of claims mean? This is the claim, so what is the sin I suffered last night?
"There are no doors!"
After complaining, Win Wudao looked down, and was instantly so angry that one Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven!
The compensation of 15 billion gold crystals! The Heavenly Wolf King, the Nine Emperor Princes, and Xiao Quan's public apology! The more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and the winning Wudao who brushed the brush directly tore Qin Feng's claim list to shreds.
"How...... What's wrong?" Koizumi said with a little concern.
"Since Qin Feng's kid wants us to compensate for the loss of 15 billion yuan, and publicly apologize to him. Win Wudao's face was gloomy, and he almost spit out words like ice.
Yesterday, in front of the public, he was hung there by Shangguan Xinghe for a whole day, he recognized that it was not as good as others, but Qin Feng also wanted to step on him, that is, it was unbearable.
"What should we do now?" Bian Chuan looked depressed, he knew that he shouldn't have gone to Qin Feng like this, the fox didn't catch it and provoked a commotion, which was really uncomfortable.
"I don't think I saw it, I don't bother to pay attention to him!"
The Alchemist Guild and Shangguan Xinghe have done it themselves, and Qin Feng in a single round, a small marquis is not in his eyes.
"But what if he comes to the door to make trouble?" Koizumi was also a little worried.
"As long as he doesn't hurt him, he can make trouble as much as he wants, and I think he can turn the sky upside down. ”
Leaning his head on the recliner, a sense of powerlessness hits, every time at this time, he still thinks of the days when the Sirius King supports him, no matter what happens, even if the sky falls, he doesn't have to care.
"Border pass, there has been a battle report recently, the army is marching forward and three cities in a row, there are only three passes and twelve cities left from the Dayang Imperial Capital, I hope there will be no problems, and it will triumph as soon as possible. ”
......
Dayang Empire, Langcheng.
For several months, there has been constant friction between the two armies, although the decent battles were fought less than three times, and the losses of the army did not exceed 50,000, but it was enough to conquer Wuguan and 28 cities, occupying nearly a quarter of the territory of the Dayang Empire.
Such a record is not brilliant.
However, at this moment, in the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals could not see any joy on their faces.
On that day, the poisonous plan set by Qin Chao had already begun to take effect at this time, and the water sources of dozens of cities in the hands of the Great Qin Empire were all destroyed, and the plague even began to spread in some areas.
Although Xue Longwei adopted the Danxia Sect, after all, the alchemist was protected by the guild, and the empire did not have the qualifications to forcibly absorb them, such as Wan Zhenjiang and Run Wuxie, as disciples of the Danxia Sect, they still lived a good life now.
Of course, it is not excluded that there are very few, because they remembered the friendship of the sect and stayed in the army, but in the face of the destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops day and night, and the pollution of water sources that stretched for dozens of cities, what could they do?
It would be a blessing to be able to protect the army from the plague.
Moreover, there is also the most unfavorable news for the Great Qin Empire is that they will soon part ways with Tuojiang, which means that their water source will be more difficult in the future.
Correspondingly, the pace of the offensive was absolutely blocked.
"The front is Qingfeng Pass, and the enemy's defensive resistance is obviously much stronger than before, whether to fight or not? How to fight? And how to solve the water source problem after the Qingfeng Pass, everyone is free to speak. ”
Ye Tianxing spread out the military map on the table, this map has changed greatly compared to before, one of the long, extremely highlighted rivers is the Tuojiang River, which is also the only source of water for the army now.
The gray territories on the map are occupied by the Great Qin Empire, and they are also areas with polluted water quality.
Green, that is, the remaining territory of the Dayang Empire, has not been captured, and it is preliminarily estimated that the water source has not been destroyed.
And those clusters of red are high-risk areas, because there has been an outbreak of plague in the meantime, and soldiers will die if they enter.
"There are three passes from the capital of Dayang Kingdom: Qingfeng Pass, Yulong Pass, and Tianmen Pass. Because of the water source problem, we can't drag it on forever, Qingfeng Pass must be fought, and if we take Qingfeng Pass to conquer Yulong Pass, the Dayang Empire will have to fight a decisive battle. ”
Lei Qingtian took a step forward and said with great certainty.
"Leader Lei is right, with the current combat strength of our army, it is best for the enemy to avoid the battle, if you dare to resist stubbornly, then fight a decisive battle in advance. "The Black Hawk Guard's leader, the Black Devil, is also awe-inspiring.
"It's okay to fight, but this time I can't send more than 20,000 troops to Xuelongwei. Seeing that Ye Tianxing turned his head, the Heavenly Wolf King's face turned pale and he snorted coldly.
Ye Tianxing nodded and said: "Okay, these days, the Snow Dragon Guards have suffered huge losses in battle, this time I will use 10,000 Snow Dragon Guards and 30,000 Iron Blood Guards to act as the vanguard, and the 40,000 Black Eagle Guards are divided into two groups to respond on the two wings, and the rest are the main force, I don't know what the prison army thinks?"
"Hmph. The Sky Wolf King didn't speak, just snorted coldly in response.
These days, the Iron Blood Guard has lost more than 10,000 people, the Black Eagle Guard has lost about 8,000, and the Xue Longwei, as the champion of the three armies, has lost more than 30,000 deaths! Of these, nearly 20,000 have died on the battlefield, and more than 10,000 are on the way to the Tuojiang River to carry water.
Anyway, as soon as Xue Longwei is alone, a large number of enemy troops will rush up like mad dogs, two for one, three for one, even if it is ten for one, Xue Longwei will be killed. In this regard, Ye Tianxing also thought of a way, ambush, anti-ambush and did everything.
Anyway, in the process of transporting water, there were ups and downs all the way, and it was a good battle of wits and courage.
"Okay, since everyone agrees that Qingfeng Pass must be fought, let's talk about the water source. The enemy is clearly determined to fight a resource war with us.
Because of this water source, we have already lost tens of thousands of troops, and although we have carried out several encirclements and suppressions during this period, this is after all the territory of the Dayang Empire, and the effect is not obvious.
By the time we have laid the Qingfeng Pass, the water transportation route will have changed from the previous 30 li to 50 li, and the distance will be lengthened by nearly half. ”
"Otherwise, let's use a large army to transport water, 100,000 troops will press the formation, and transport water once to eat him for half a month. ”
"No, there are less than eight thousand rings left in the army, and if there is any mistake along the way, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"You can't be escorted by a thousand men as before, right? This is a distance of fifty miles! The enemy has at least three surprise attacks on the way. ”
“......”
Such meetings have been held no less than three times in Langcheng, and each time the generals of both sides have their own opinions and quarrels.
"I don't know what the prison army thinks?" Ignoring the noisy generals, Ye Tianxing directly set his eyes on the Heavenly Wolf King.
"Here, after all, it is the hinterland of the Dayang Empire, as long as there is no group between the hills and mountains, it is absolutely easy to hide tens of thousands of troops, don't forget that there was a precedent for smuggling 30,000 troops out of Qili Mountain without knowing it.
Therefore, it is no longer feasible for a small force to send water, and it is naturally best for the large army to succeed, but once it fails, it will be even more worth the loss, and the specific plan will be decided by the marshal. ”
The Sky Wolf King analyzed a wave, and the Tai Chi generally kicked the problem back.
Ye Tianxing nodded, the completely expected thing was not enough to affect his mood, but lowered his head and quickly drew a shortest straight line from the Tuojiang River to Qingfeng Pass on the map.
Then, with some muttering, he sketched three circles beside the straight line, each of which occupied a high point, and the three highest points roughly divided a straight line into four equal parts.
After doing all this, Qin Feng Ye Tianxing said in a deep voice: "Calm down, I have a suggestion here, let's discuss whether it is feasible?"
Hearing Ye Tianxing's words, everyone stopped arguing and looked at it in unison.
