After staying in Blackwater City for two days, Li Xiaowan set off for departure. Until the moment before leaving, she did not meet Zhu Xiaoqi again, and the two sides invariably avoided causing greater unhappiness.
For Li Xiaowan, whether Zhu Xiaoqi's decision to suspend the investigation was a wise choice or a cowardly retreat, it will take time to prove. Disappointment is disappointment, but since she gave Zhu Xiaoqi the freedom to choose the future path, she had to respect his decision and not impose her will on him. The identity of the young master of the Li family should not be a fetter on his growth path, not to mention that the situation is so dangerous, and she doesn't want her younger brother to lose his life because of the investigation of this matter. However, emotionally, she still couldn't accept Zhu Xiaoqi's decision. This time the investigation was restarted, Zhu Xiaoqi received the support of the royal family and the military, and after missing this excellent opportunity to uncover the shady, perhaps the tragic past of the Li family will forever become a historical mystery.
As for Zhu Xiaoqi, after that night, he didn't know how to face Li Xiaowan. No amount of comfort would pale in comparison, and it would be impossible to ask for forgiveness, so he could only remain silent and concentrate on the most pressing matter at the moment—dealing with the threat from Meng Yi. The weapons and equipment he got from the old wolf head, he had already sent someone to Daqingshan. The first batch of 100 pieces and thousands of arrows were finalized and put into production under the efforts of craftsmen day and night, and it only took half a month to produce them and send them to Daqingshan. Gale also infiltrated the northern land of the wolf clan under the leadership of Qin Li, and quietly familiarized himself with the battlefield environment with the help of the wolf's fangs, while closely monitoring the movements of the wolf clan and the Rising Sun army. Tie Zheng, the lord of Blackwater City, also began to gather Blackwater City's own strength and threw himself into intense combat readiness training. Ruan Yushu and Qiao Dali, with the attitude of believing it rather than believing it, gave full support to the combat preparations of Blackwater City. The former handed over part of his strength to Tie Zheng's command, and he used his entire network of connections in the Divine Court to inquire about Meng Yi's movements. After the latter sent Tie Zheng a batch of weapons and equipment, he selected hundreds of backbone cadres from the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment to form a death squad, and personally led the team to conduct combat training.
In the early morning of Li Xiaowan's departure, Zhu Xiaoqi locked himself in the war room of the camp. When Xuanyuan Yu knocked on the door, he was staring intently at the sand table in the center of the room.
"Why did you kid suddenly change sex? The three big beauties are gone, why don't you send them away, what are you staring at the sand table and wondering?"
"I didn't know what to say, so I didn't send it. Zhu Xiaoqi raised his head and smiled bitterly at him.
"Really?" Xuanyuan Yu's gaze fell on Zhu Xiaoqi's feet. The fresh mud on his boots caught his attention.
"Pretend, you just pretend!" he chuckled.
"Is there any news from Qin Li?" Zhu Xiaoqi changed the subject.
"Not yet. However, with the help of the wolf fangs, they have set up intelligence stations in several cities in the northern lands of the wolf clan. The mapping process is nearing completion. Xuanyuan Yu replied.
"Hmm. You sue Qin Li, details determine success or failure, and the map cannot be sloppy. At the moment, the wolf maps that everyone uses are very old, and having a new map gives you an advantage in terms of terrain. Zhu Xiaoqi advised.
"Good. Qin Li has always been cautious in doing things, and I believe there will be no problem. What happened between you and your sister?" asked Xuanyuan Yu.
"I suspended the investigation of the Yinshan bloody case, and she couldn't accept it. It was I who failed her and disappointed her. Zhu Xiaoqi sighed.
"Actually, before you stop the investigation, you should have told her in advance and asked for her opinion. Don't want to do everything by yourself, but do bad things with good intentions. Xuanyuan Yu smiled bitterly.
"How can I carry it myself, don't you and Yu Yao help me carry it?" Zhu Xiaoqi said with a smile.
"Actually, you're pretty good to your sister. Since you care about her so much, I will naturally help you carry it. However, you have to consider Yu Yao's feelings. Xuanyuan Yu suddenly came out with a headless sentence.
"I see. You two are roundworms in my belly, and I can't hide anything from your eyes. Zhu Xiaoqi sighed. However, the two best friends around him understood him, but it also made him feel a little less depressed.
"How do you estimate that Meng Yi will act after he arrives in the Northland?" Xuanyuan Yu walked to the map, looked at the map and asked casually.
"Before Meng Yi set off, he must have figured out the bottom of the Qingshan Wandering Spirit very clearly, and he will definitely use the special relationship between the Qingshan Wandering Spirit and the Imperial Military Circle to make an article, so as to test the Empire's reaction, and then formulate the next action plan, and finally achieve the strategic goal of deterring the Heavenly Dragon and annexing the Wolf Clan. Therefore, he needs time to arrange the arrangement, and his combat policy for the Qingshan Wandering Spirit may be to suppress but not destroy, attack but not break, so that he has a reason to stay. Zhu Xiaoqi analyzed.
"How do we deal with that?" asked Xuanyuanyu.
"It's a one-sided idea of his, a little too idealistic. Zhu Xiaoqi sneered, "Judging from the current situation, there are at least three unexpected factors that he didn't expect, and these three unexpected factors will give him some unexpected surprises." ”
"What are the three surprises?"
"First, he wouldn't have thought that the Aoyama Spirit would fight to the death. In the past, the Rising Sun Empire had also encircled and suppressed Daqingshan, and Yang Zifeng would usually use guerrilla tactics to drag the Rising Sun army to the ground, but this time he wouldn't. ”
"Why?"
Because Yang Zifeng knew what he wanted to do, he would rather lead his troops to die in battle than let Meng Yi's conspiracy succeed. Moreover, Meng Yi's name is too loud, and the veterans on Daqing Mountain have long been enthusiastic because of him. ”
Xuanyuan Yu thought for a while, and then asked, "Even if the Qingshan Wandering Spirit wants to fight to the death, Meng Yi still has many ways to fight a protracted battle!"
Zhu Xiaoqi nodded: "Yes." However, the bandits who can't clean up and flee and the bandits' base camp can't be captured are two completely different things, and the latter will deal a great blow to Meng Yi's prestige, which he can't accept. Therefore, as long as Daqingshan is not lost for a day, Meng Yi will do his best to pull out this nail that pierced his heart. ”
"So, the fierce battle will revolve around the ownership of Daqingshan. Xuanyuan Yu continued, "As long as we defeat Meng Yi at the foot of Daqing Mountain, I am afraid that he will not have the face to stay any longer, and the plan of the Rising Sun to annex the wolf clan will be severely damaged." ”
"Yes. Zhu Xiaoqi said with a smile, "The second is that Meng Yi didn't expect Blackwater City to gather together to calculate him in the dark." The Celestial Dragon Military Realm can't intervene, but we can. Who would believe that a border station chief would dare to lead his troops to attack Meng Yi's army? Therefore, even if we make a fuss, Tianlong will not be in a passive position diplomatically. ”
"What about the third factor?"
"Wolf Tooth is a good kid, maybe he can become a big thing in the future. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled mysteriously.
Xuanyuan Yu immediately understood what he was going to do.
How unfortunate the wolf clan is, first being targeted by the rising sun, and then being targeted by Xiao Qixiang, I am afraid that there will be no peace again, he sighed in his heart. Rising Sun wants to cultivate a puppet regime in the wolf clan, Zhu Xiaoqi is-for-tat, and he also wants to cultivate his own spokesperson, and there will be a good show to watch in the future.
"That broken place, the rising sun can be used as a springboard to attack the dragon, what are you doing with it?" he complained.
"Raise wolves, bite people. Zhu Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Yu was so laughed by him that his heart was furious.
"The mission of hell is urgent, you have to plan well. He reminded.
"Hmm. Zhu Xiaoqi nodded, "Meng Yi's arrival is a crisis and an opportunity for us. If you can defeat him, taking Blackwater City with the power of a great victory will be like digging for something. ”
In February 1574, the Military Department of the Tianlong Empire issued a strange secret order to the Southwest Theater: from February 10, the troops around Heishui City under the Southwest Theater were uniformly handed over to Second Lieutenant Zhu Xiaoqi, the head of the border checkpoint of the 31st Division of the 1st Regiment of the 14th Army of the Theater in Fengling Town, and the disobedient ones were engaged in military law.
"Isn't this! What is the military affairs department going to do when a unit of tens of thousands of troops is under the command of a second lieutenant? Could you be mistaken?" This order made Wu Yixuan, commander of the Southwest Theater of Operations, frown, and blew his beard and glared at the confidential staff officer who sent the secret order.
"Commander, I've double-checked, and there can be no mistake. This order was personally signed by Minister of Military Affairs Zhang Lingfeng, and it was classified as top secret. The confidential staff officer replied with a straightened back.
"Then notify the commander of the 14th Army and carry out the order!" Wu Yixuan sighed. He felt a little angry in his heart, because the Ministry of Military Affairs did not communicate with him at all before issuing this secret order, which made him confused, which was a contempt for him. Although he sat on the throne of commander of the theater, his status in military circles was very different from that of the commanders of the other three theaters. The reasons are, first, that there has been no war in the Southwest Theater for a long time, and that he is not valued by the empire, and second, he has no military merits, and his qualifications in the military world are not as good as the other three, and the Wu family where he is located has only risen in the center of imperial power in recent years, and its strength is not strong enough. He bet that Zhang Lingfeng, Minister of Military Affairs, would never give Xiao gradually to the northwest to give such an order, even if he changed Mo Tiening in the Northeast Theater, he would not do it.
"Wait. Beside him, the colonel's adjutant summoned the confidential staff officer who was about to leave, and then whispered in Wu Yixuan's ear for a moment.
"Is this kid?" Wu Yixuan frowned when he heard this.
"Hmm. He is now not only the young master of the Li family, but also a red man in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. If this kid makes another meritorious achievement, it will be immeasurable!" the adjutant reminded in a low voice.
"The order is as usual. Wu Yixuan pondered for a long time and then said slowly, "Tell the commander of the 14th Army, I don't understand this order.
