Chapter 58: Staff Officer (3)
Jiang Chen thought for a while with a solemn expression, then shook his head and said, "The juniors don't know, maybe, they can only take one step at a time." ”
If you stick to the Dragon Valley, although you can protect the Daozi Army, you will inevitably fall into the charge of resisting the orders of the Daoist Court and delaying the fighter plane, and you will fall into the handle;
Ziqing Daoist didn't seem to expect Jiang Chen, a young man, to really help him come up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds, he nodded slightly, and said, "You can step down." Don't tell anyone else about this matter, so as not to mess up the morale of the army, if you think about it more in the past two days, you are a smart person, you may be able to think of a way. ”
"Yes!" Jiang Chen retired, and before exiting the big tent, the Ziqing Daoist suddenly gave him a few words: "Whether it is the secular world or the Taoist court, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." People in the rivers and lakes are often involuntarily. In this life, there are not many opportunities to control your own destiny, if you encounter it, you must take advantage of it!"
"Thank you for your teachings!" Jiang Chen bowed and thanked him, and then retired and left.
After returning to his military tent, Jiang Chen was still a little heavy. Jiang Wu saw what was on his mind and asked him a few words. Jiang Chen didn't want his younger brother to know the cruel truth too early, so he didn't elaborate.
The first battle was won, and after a day of celebration, the Ziqing Dao people suddenly ordered the whole army to kill out of the Dragon Valley, enter the hinterland of the northern valley wasteland, and clear the demon beasts.
The Daoist soldiers are still immersed in joy, where do they know the hidden meaning behind this. Although Jiang Chen knew something, he didn't dare to say more. Moreover, he also knew that this was a helpless move, if he could kill the Dragon Descending Valley, clear some demon beasts and then retreat, it might also be a good way.
However, the process of marching was much smoother than Jiang Chen expected. After the Daozi army left the Dragon Valley, it advanced northward, and encountered some demon beasts along the way, but in the face of the powerful offensive of the Daozi army, they were quickly defeated. The Daozi army went all the way to the north, and three days later it had penetrated more than 300 miles into the Gubei wasteland.
The Ziqing Daoist ordered the entire army to set up camp here, which was exactly the order of the Dao Court. Set up a military fortress here and gain a firm foothold, so that the follow-up troops can come one after another and launch a counterattack based on this. This seems to be a very normal military order, if it weren't for the Ziqing Daoist who said that to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen would not have thought that there were so many mysteries behind the military order.
This night, Jiang Chen tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. If the follow-up troops come to respond, this Daozi army will be backed by support and face the enemy, but it will not be alone. However, if the suspicion of the Ziqing Daoist is right, then the Seventh Young Master is to kill three birds with one stone, so that the Daozi army and the enemy demon tide will die together, in this case, the subsequent reinforcements may have all kinds of excuses, and they will not be able to arrive in time.
So the fate of this Daoist army is in control of a sentence from an important person in the Daoist Court. As Ziqing Dao people say, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!
"I must ask to see Ziqing Senior tomorrow!" Jiang Chen secretly said in his heart: "If you let the Daozi Army turn back tomorrow and return to the Descending Dragon Valley, the problem will be alleviated." Dao Ting asked, and said that the resistance of the demon tide encountered was too strong, and it was difficult to go deep alone, so he could only wait until the reinforcements were in place before he could go north to counterattack. ”
"Senior Ziqing has long calculated all these things in his heart, and he may have the same idea, he will lead the army back to the Descending Dragon Valley early tomorrow morning! Or, he has a better way! After all, he is an old schemer, and I am just a teenager who has read a few military books. What I could think of, he should have thought of, but what he thought of, I might not have thought of. Jiang Chen comforted himself like this, and finally gradually fell asleep.
Jiang Chen had a dream that their Dao army was under siege, and he and his younger brother Jiang Wu were wielding Dao swords and fighting bravely to kill the enemy. He only felt that his strength was getting smaller and smaller, and he couldn't swing the sword more and more, and finally he collapsed in his brother's arms, and gradually closed his eyes, and Jiang Wu's anxious call came from his ears in a daze, but he couldn't open his eyelids.
"Brother, brother, wake up! Something is wrong! Wake up! Brother!"
"Why do you sleep so dead, let me come!"
"Smack!" Jiang Chen was slapped in the face, he finally woke up, because he didn't sleep well, he was dizzy, and for a while he couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality.
"Why did you hit me?" Jiang Chen said. Only then did he see clearly that it was Junzhu who woke him up with a slap.
"Something big happened, the entire Daozi Army is in a mess, and you're still sleeping in the dark!" Junzhu complained.
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Chen hurriedly asked.
Jun Zhu said: "Ziqing's predecessors waited for a dry worship of the sword and Taoist cultivation, and said goodbye without saying goodbye, and all of them disappeared overnight!"
"What?!" Jiang Chen felt a thrill in his heart, and he suddenly came to his senses completely.
In an instant, he understood the intention of the Ziqing Dao people to do this.
"He's abandoning the pawn to protect the handsome!" Jiang Chen said secretly in his heart: "He obviously knows the plan of the Seventh Young Master to kill three birds with one stone, but he still plans to bring the Dao Zi Army here according to the order of the Dao Court." Then he secretly took away the elite of the Sword Worship Temple, and let the Daozi army and the enemy demon tide lose both. ”
In the end, he not only preserved his strength, but also took a bite back in the Dao Court, saying that it was the Seventh Young Master's improper command order, which led to the death of a group of rivers and lakes scattered cultivators. When this matter is publicized, it will not only gap the relationship between the Seventh Young Lord and the scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes, and make the Seven Young Masters win the hearts of the people, but it will also leave the impression in the Dao Court that the Seven Young Masters are unable to preside over military affairs! In this way, the struggle for the throne between the Seventh Young Lord and his nephew, the Second Young Master, will be even more biased towards the Second Young Master!"
"A good move will be planned, and the anti-guest is the main thing!" Jiang Chen gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, this Ziqing Daoist said that he had not read the book of war, but what he did was more clever and ruthless than the art of war recorded in any book of war!
"Jiang is still old and spicy!" Jiang Chen sighed in his heart, he had been distressed all night, and he had not come up with such a "clever" approach as Ziqing Daoren. Maybe it's because Jiang Chen is still too young, too young, not smart enough to be old and spicy, or maybe it's because Jiang Chen didn't think about giving up the entire Dao character army at all, and he didn't think about sacrificing more than a thousand Dao cultivators to complete his layout!
Whether it is the Seven Young Masters or the Ziqing Dao people, in their eyes, this Dao character army is just a chess piece, a chess piece that can slightly affect the battle for the throne. The survival of the chess piece itself has nothing to do with the overall situation, as long as they can contain the opponent when playing chess and make the situation slightly favorable to themselves, they can sacrifice the chess piece without hesitation.
