Chapter 21: Speculation
"Senior brother, is it okay to write this in the silk book of the reply to the master?" Meng Tian handed a piece of silk cloth to Bai Ya.
They had now arrived in Wudu, an inn in the city. Because the White Water City Merit Quest involves three Qingcheng disciples, it is necessary to report the results of the quest to the master as soon as possible.
Bai Ya took the silk book, only to see that it was written "...... When the enemy was encountered in the dense forest in the north of Baishui City, it was called a 'vampire fang', and if he killed it, he recovered the remnants of the three disciples, and there was no trace of manipulation."
He thought for a while, erased the word "not seen", and added the word "unknown" at the end.
Meng Tianliu raised her eyebrows and objected: "Senior brother, we have thoroughly searched the nest of the vampire fangs, and we really haven't seen any foreign forces manipulating those vampire fangs, can you reply to the master like this? This should be just an accident, right?"
"There are no accidents in the world, only necessity. The corners of Bai Ya's mouth twitched, "We really haven't found any traces left by the Demon Gate or other demon clans, but the appearance of the vampire fang in that area is a miracle in itself." They didn't break in by accident, but they've been there for months, looking like they're going to settle down......"
His words made Meng Tian stunned for a moment and fell into thought.
"If it is placed in a peaceful era, there is naturally nothing wrong with the senior sister's reply, which saves the teacher from wasting manpower. But now that the signs of the great controversy have appeared, we must not let go of any subtle signs, even if we are suspicious and waste manpower repeatedly, we must avoid the formation of anthills that burst the embankment. ”
Meng Tian naturally understood this truth, but she had a delicate personality, and she still subconsciously argued: "But even if there is a behind-the-scenes instigator of this incident, what are they trying to do, although Baishui City is far away from Qingcheng, it also belongs to Zitong County, and it is not a northwest county like Yinping...... It doesn't seem beneficial for the other party to test the important source of students in Qingcheng, right?"
"Yin Pingbian County ......" Bai Ya suddenly squinted his eyes, took out a map from the Divine Hidden Ring to look at it, and tapped his finger on Baishui City.
"Do you have any doubts, junior brother?" Meng Tian saw his appearance and immediately asked suspiciously.
"Senior sister, look at the location of Baishui City......" Bai Ya thought about it and explained.
Excluding Guanghan County, which is side by side with Chengdu, there are three county arches directly above Chengdu. Wenshan County is on the left side of Chengdu, Zitong County is on the right side of Chengdu, and Yinping is obliquely covered on top of Wenshan and Zitong, and the three counties are in the shape of a character as a whole.
Baishui City is located in the north of Zitong, at the junction of Yinping, which is exactly the junction between the mouth above the word and the mouth on the lower right.
"Senior Sister, do you think what would happen if an enemy army appeared in Whitewater City?" asked Bai Ya cautiously.
"It should cut off the connection between Yinping County and Zitong County......," Meng Tian frowned and said, "But is this possible? Even if this city is attacked and fallen by one party, it will immediately be surrounded by Zitong and Yinping Counties, and at the same time, it will not be able to threaten Chengdu, what is the use?"
What Meng Tian said is very real, most of Wenshan County and Yinping County are mountainous areas, and the mountain roads connected by the two counties are even steeper and bumpy, even the slightly larger caravans can't pass, and the underground rock formations can't dig the ferry tunnel, so the left side of the pinzig is equal to not connected, and from Chengdu to Yinping can only pass through Zitong County.
However, although Baishui City has cut off the connection between Yinping and Zitong counties, it is difficult to threaten Chengdu, because there is only one Shu road from Baishui City to Chengdu, and there is a sword pavilion in the middle.
Is it useless to capture a border city with key transportation in Shu, but it can't threaten Chengdu, and it will be besieged by the county government troops at both ends?
"Unless it's the Qin State that makes a move, but at this time...... It's impossible, right?" Meng Tian blinked his big bright eyes and said in disbelief.
The Wudu County of the Qin State is just above the Zitong County, if the Qin people sneak attack Baishui City and then send a large army to attack the Jianmen Pass, then they do have the ability to threaten the Shu State, but in this way, it will be a national war.
It is not a secret that the Qin people are peeping into the Shu Kingdom, but they are currently in the world of great contention, and all the vassal states of Shenzhou are facing the threat of the demon and beast clans, and it is hard to believe that the Qin State will choose this time to launch a national war.
Even if the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State and the court were all in the water, the Immortal Martial Sect of the Qin State would obviously not follow Hu.
"It's not Qin Guo, the little brother refers to ......" Bai Ya's eyes flashed, and his right index finger tapped the left side of Yinping County.
"Tubo?!" Meng Tian suddenly widened his apricot eyes.
"Yes, back then, the Shu State conquered Tibet and obtained a large area of land northwest of Chengdu, which led to the two counties of Wenshan and Yinping. These two counties later became the northwest barrier of Shu, avoiding the geographical advantage of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau over the Shu Basin. ”
Bai Ya said slowly, "...... The problem is that Tubo has always been obsessed with this, and from time to time they will invade when Shu is empty. Although every time he was defeated because of the lack of immortal martial strength, it was different now!"
Meng Tian slowly frowned, as the princess of Shu, even if she was a member of the royal family who had long since left the court, she was no stranger to the Tushu War.
Among the many foreign countries around Shenzhou, Tubo is a powerful country. In terms of secular military strength alone, Tubo far surpassed the Shu State, and was even no less than the Qin State, and the Xianwu power was also stronger than the single Shu State.
However, the world is so wonderful, every time Tubo goes to war with Shu, it is himself who suffers in the end.
One is because of the geography, the border between Tibet and Shu is really a heavy mountain range, in the previous life of Baiya, this area was called the Hengduan Mountains, there are a total of seven or eight longitudinal mountain ranges in the north-south direction, side by side, the army can not pass.
Although the secular military strength of Tubo is strong, if you have thousands of people and thousands of people coming from the small mountain road, how can Shu be afraid of you.
The second is the Xianwu force, the Xianwu force of the Tubo country is slightly stronger than the Shu country, but if the Xianwu force is allowed to be the vanguard, the Shu country is also not afraid.
Because of this kind of war of foreign invasion, not only the Xianwu Sect of Yizhou will all participate in the war, but even the Xianwu forces of Liangsi and Liangjiao of Qin State, Jingjiao and other large states of Chu State will also come to join in the fun.
This is equivalent to the immortal martial forces of the Tubo country carrying half of the immortal martial sect of Shenzhou, how can this battle be fought?
But now it's different, the Xianwu sects in the big states near Yizhou are all preparing for the race war in the world of great contention, and they have to leave their strength to guard against the evil sects and demon sects within the human race, and they will not easily make a big move.
If Tubo only occupied the two counties of Yinping and Wenshan of Shu State, and did not attack Chengdu and shake the national capital of Shu State, the Xianwu forces other than Yizhou would not be able to endure it.
"But Baishui City is Wudu County to the north, Yinping County is to the west, and there are still troops stationed in the border city, how can the Tubo army suddenly appear outside Baishui City?" Meng Tian frowned and asked.
"Sneak in in batches, combine inside and outside, and gather more than five thousand elites to steal the city!" Bai Ya said cautiously.
He didn't understand military affairs, but Shenzhou's personal force far surpassed that of the Cold Weapon Era, even if it was a Qi Realm martial artist, he felt that this plan would work.
"It takes time to sneak in batches, even if there are only five thousand people, it will take months to gather, right? Are the people in Whitewater City all blind and deaf?" Meng Tian rolled his eyes and said in a choked voice.
"In normal times, it is impossible to hide from the residents of Whitewater. Bai Ya smiled lightly, "But at this time, I'm afraid that few people dare to go to the dense forest hundreds of miles away on the outskirts of the city, right?"
"Is it because of the vampire fang?!" Meng Tian's face changed slightly, and he didn't speak for a while, "You're right, even if a few hunters are killed in the forest, people will only treat us if we don't get rid of the vampire fangs." ”
"Well, the vampire fangs have been in the dense forest outside the city for several months, and the officials and soldiers of Whitewater City have been on high guard, so they have always been heavily guarded, but now even if there are a small number of missing people, I am afraid that the army will not take it seriously, and the difficulty of stealing the city has been reduced. ”
"That'...... How should we get back to the master?" Although Meng Tian was smart, he was also a little at a loss.
"Senior sister, don't worry, it's just a guess, Tubo will also face the pressure of the demon and beast clans at this time, and the possibility of doing such a crazy act is very small. Bai Ya comforted, "On the contrary, the probability of a sign of a beast tide is greater." ”
"Beast tide?" Meng Tian was taken aback.
The world of Shenzhou is boundless and unimaginably vast, but there are equally many living races, including the human race.
Intelligent races such as Terrans and demons and monsters still know moderation, but monsters without intelligence or low intelligence cannot be controlled.
Their numbers are almost endless, and every hundreds of thousands of years, the barbaric domain cannot accommodate them, so they will be driven by demons and monsters to attack the human city, so it is called the beast tide.
At such times, it is often a process of shuffling the cards between the intelligent races, and the contradictions accumulated in peacetime will erupt at one time, thus turning into disasters large and small.
The formation of the beast tide generally takes a period of time to brew, and during this period, a small number of sporadic demon beasts that have failed in the battle will be driven out of their original survival place and appear near the human city, just like the vampire fangs this time.
In this way, the brute beasts and demon clans that originally lived in the depths of the wilderness savage domain, once they appeared near the human city and planned to settle down, they were often the precursors of the beast tide.
"Of course, if it is really a precursor to the beast tide, then there must be more than these vampire fangs, and it is estimated that there will be sporadic demon clans and brute beasts in other counties. Bai Ya said solemnly, "As long as we report to the master truthfully and attach our opinions, there will definitely be more sources from the master, and the high-level will make more accurate judgments." ”
"Senior brother is right, this palace is upset. Meng Tian sighed and said quietly, "I originally thought that after I was born to practice, I would no longer care about the Meng family's court, but I didn't expect that I was still a little uncomplacent. ”
"There is more than one royal family in Shu Kingdom, can't Senior Sister worry about the secular people if she doesn't succeed?" Bai Ya smiled.
"This palace is not a hero with a heart like you, I am selfish and stingy, it would be good to be considerate of the master and the younger brothers and sisters around me. Meng Tian glanced at Bai Ya and laughed at himself meaningfully.
