The liveliness and bustle of Qingqiu Mountain City, which is full of ghosts and gloom, has not faded away because of the generals at night.
Tonight, all the ghosts in the city are celebrating the autumn harvest and the harvest. Tonight, they will party all night regardless of the cost.
Throughout the city, the streets and alleys were hung with lanterns that were either cyan or blue because they were lit with will-o'-the-wisps. Ghosts were everywhere, crowded and crowded. Some ghosts were even crowded in the middle by other ghosts.
He couldn't help but follow the flow of people in the streets.
On the other hand, the Prince's Palace at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain is still very peaceful.
The wind picked up again outside the main hall, dragging a long and shrill roar past.
Hu Qingping, who was in the hall, suddenly lowered his face amidst the sound of wind.
Hu Qingping, whose eyes were burning with anger, gritted his teeth fiercely.
He didn't know why the defeated giant ghosts dared to disobey the orders of Qingqiu Fox Country?
He only knew that as a victor, the Qingqiu Fox Country had the right to be arrogant towards the giant ghosts and to make any demands. No matter whether the request was reasonable or not, the giant ghosts must obey and implement it obediently. There could be no
Any complaints and objections.
Hu Qingping did not allow the giant ghost to bargain with him and Qingqiu Fox Country.
He clenched his fists, sat up straight, and used his right to supervise the crown prince to issue an order in a deep voice: "Immediately mobilize an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people and rush to the north to station in the area where the giant ghosts are, to intimidate these ghosts who are already part of our country."
Slave, give it back to the shameless ghosts. Continue to urge them to hand over the protons, and the deadline must be completed within this year."
Hu Qingping was angry for a moment, and the decision he made impulsively did not receive any objection from the other ghosts in the hall. The ghost officials and generals in front of him responded happily without thinking carefully.
Like Hu Qingping, they did not consider the consequences at all. The pride and pride of the winner made them push for the next step and be desperate.
As for Xiao Shizhu, who was thousands of miles away, he had calculated many things correctly, but once, Xiao Shizhu also miscalculated. He never thought in his wildest dreams that Hu Qingping would take the initiative to give him such a big gift.
of a gift.
So that in the future, all the countermeasures he had prepared in advance to deal with the giant ghosts would be useless and meaningless.
After giving the order, Hu Qingping seemed to be relieved a little, and his anger gradually disappeared.
After he regained his composure, he casually asked the ghosts in front of him: "Has my father arrived in Jiuyou Kingdom?".
His tone was much calmer than before.
However, the reply he received was that the ghost officials in front of him shook their heads in confusion.
No ghost can tell Hu Qingping accurately and definitely where the Qingqiu Fox King is now.
After all, the transmission of messages in Qingqiu Fox Country is not as fast as that in Jiuyou Country. It must be transmitted by trained birds and beasts or ghosts with fast speed and good foot strength.
In addition, the capital of Jiuyou Kingdom is far away from Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, thousands of miles apart, so it would be even more time-consuming and laborious to transmit this news.
After receiving this answer, the Prince of the Fox Kingdom, Hu Qingping, had expected this result in advance. So he just frowned slightly, stopped asking any more questions, and didn't take it seriously.
Like Qingqiu Fox King, he expected that Xiao Shizhu was now too immersed in the joy and pride of defeating the Northern Yin Dynasty, enjoying the comfort brought by peace, and coveting this kind of comfort. Based on this, Hu Qingping believed that Jiuyou King
Xiao Shizhu will definitely not do anything detrimental to Qingqiu Fox King.
He also blindly believed in Changqin and secretly defected to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
Naturally, he didn't take Qingqiu Fox King's whereabouts seriously.
Then, when Hu Qingping saw that all the things that needed to be dealt with had been dealt with, he casually and lightly said to the ghost officers and generals in front of him: "Okay, you all go and do what you have to do according to the original plan.
, as soon as the king leaves the territory of Jiuyou Kingdom, he will immediately launch a military operation against Jiuyou Kingdom."
"No." All the ghosts in front of Hu Qingping responded in unison.
After that, Hu Qingping sent them all to retreat. However, these ghost officials and ghost generals did not stay here, and left here together, each busy with what they should do.
The ghost officers and generals had just left for a moment, and Hu Qingping also stood up, humming a cheerful ditty and walked towards the back hall.
After a long time, the hall became empty and quiet. The back door of the Crown Prince's palace also opened gently. A small and simple sedan chair, escorted by four guards with swords in regular clothes, silently went out from the door and headed toward the palace.
Fox Qingping left the thin horse mansion outside the palace and quickly disappeared into the night...
In Jiuyou Kingdom, the gorgeous and magnificent Jade Palace is brightly lit.
To the west of the square in front of Tianquan Hall, there is a palace garden.
On the roof of every palace room here, there is a stone animal carved on the top of the main ridge that looks like a unicorn, with thick black hair all over its body, bright eyes, and usually a horn on its forehead.
It is a stone carving of the Haechi animal, a symbol of bravery and justice.
Each one is exquisite and vivid. Like all the buildings in the palace, they are all carved from round and smooth jade.
To the left and right of the gate of the palace, the stone carvings guarding the gate are two one-foot-tall stone carvings of the same shape, both made of white jade. The stone carvings both have three eyes on their foreheads and four heads on their shoulders.
The eight arms are each holding various magical instruments. Both stone statues have calm and solemn expressions.
These two stone sculptures were not made just now. They have been standing here for tens of thousands of years.
This place turned out to be the Ziguang Palace built by the ancient gods. It was the palace where the Taoist Mother of the Martial God lived. After Gonggong took over the Jade Palace, he thought that the place was close to the Tianquan Palace, so he simply moved the military
The ghost office is located here.
Nowadays, it has once again become the summer palace ghost office of Jiuyou Kingdom, which is in charge of military affairs such as the selection of military attachés, military qualifications, weapons, and military orders.
Chunyun used to work here.
Most of the military orders for military operations in Jiuyou Kingdom are also issued from here.
In recent days, when Jiuyou Kingdom was fighting against Siyou Allied Forces in Dongyingzhou, Chunyun had to pay attention to changes in the battle situation, so he secretly reported the battle situation to Xiao Shizhu from Yuque Hunting Ground. After returning, Chunyun simply settled down at home temporarily.
In this ghost office.
All food and accommodation are provided here, and we are on duty day and night.
The entire ghost office was brightly lit after nightfall. The ghost officials on duty were busy going to and from various halls in the palace. Although there was no noise due to a battle, there was a tense atmosphere in the air.
.
After all, if Jiuyou Kingdom loses this battle, it will face the crisis of unstable foothold in Dongyingzhou. The struggle and efforts in Dongyingzhou for several years will be in vain.
And the ghosts who surrendered from Dongyingzhou, such as the Shura ghost clan, will also be disappointed with Jiuyou Kingdom.
Ghost generals and officials came in and out, working day and night. Battle reports and intelligence were sent to this ghost office in an endless stream.
But after nightfall, the ghost office was finally not as busy as it was during the day. Only the ghost officials who were supposed to be on duty at night were still at their respective posts, doing what they should do.
In the final analysis, it is because Si You's coalition forces are not very good at night fighting. At night, the fighting is naturally not as much as during the day.
This is good, the Jiuyou Army, which has been fighting for a whole day, can take a breather and recharge their batteries.
Chun Yun, who did not go to the front line but stayed in the ghost office of Jade Palace, could take advantage of the leisure brought by the arrival of the night to take a short rest after dinner.
In the brightly lit main hall, Chun Yun finished picking his teeth leisurely and leisurely, and took advantage of this rare break to have a good cup of tea and moisturize his throat.
After slowly drinking a cup of tea, Chun Yun slowly stood up, walked around the high case in front of him, and walked to the side.
Finally, she came to stand in front of the wall on the right side of the lobby.
On the wall, there is a detailed map, which depicts the geography of every continent and six seas in the underworld.
Chun Yun's focused gaze fell on the western part of Dongyingzhou on this map. She looked around at all the places on the map that were related to the battle with Jiuyou Kingdom, and finally looked at Dushuo Mountain on the map.
.
Take a panoramic view of the ports, mountains, rivers, rivers and towns near Dushuo Mountain on the map.
Chun Yun, who remained silent, continued to stare at these places and pondered.
According to the battle reports that came back, she knew that eight dangerous places in the area to the north outside of Dushuo Mountain were now firmly in the hands of the Jiuyou Army. Moreover, in these places, incidents occurred one after another with the coalition forces led by Si You.
fought.
Although no one on either side was polite, and the fighting was fierce in various places during the day, Jiuyou Kingdom's losses were not large, and those eight dangerous places are still under the iron hooves of Jiuyou Kingdom soldiers.
But Si You is not completely vegetarian. He can mobilize his army well, fight on several sides, attack from multiple directions, and can also assemble an army of 600,000 to 700,000 people, and rush all the way to the foot of Dushuo Mountain, with his troops pointed directly at Jiuyou.
The area around Dushuo Mountain controlled by the national army.
The target of the attack was not only Mount Dushuo, but also the port at the foot of the mountain.
Before eating, Chun Yun received a battle report that Si You's army was no more than thirty or forty miles away from the northern foot of Dushuo Mountain, and it had temporarily stopped moving forward at this distance and set up camp.
The battle will begin in the middle of the night tonight, or early tomorrow morning.
At that time, Siyou's army will approach Dushuo Mountain, start an attack, and start a battle for control of Dushuo Mountain with the Jiuyou Kingdom army stationed in the mountain.
Jiuyou Kingdom is on Dushuo Mountain, with natural dangers and solid defenses. It is not a big problem to hold on, but the casualties cannot be estimated for the time being.
And Chun Yun knew it well and sent out eight armies in eight directions. The Jiuyou Kingdom garrison still has few troops stationed on Dushuo Mountain.
In terms of number, it was far inferior to Si You's army.
Haruyun didn't need to be on the front line to predict the battle in advance, and it would definitely be very fierce.
And she also knew that King Yama would have to stay at Dushuo Mountain for at least five days. Reinforcements and supplies to support Dushuo Mountain could only arrive from the sea, and then it would be possible to reverse the battle.
Chun Yun, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knows that five days may seem like a long time, but on the battlefield, sometimes it is a kind of torture that lasts like a year.
Although Chun Yun believed that King Yama would definitely be able to hold on, in order to increase the odds of Jiuyou Army's victory, she could not sit still and wait for death, but had to think of a countermeasure.
Chun Yun stared at the map and slowly frowned.
Chun Yun, who had worked hard all day, could not see any trace of fatigue on his face, only concentration.
The lobby fell into silence again, without any sound.
It wasn't until a long time later that Chun Yun, who had put away his thoughts, suddenly shouted to the door: "Please invite the fungi on duty tonight."
The guard guarding the door heard this and left the door.
After a while, the guard returned to the door again, standing straight and continuing to stand guard. The fungus who followed the guard jumped across the threshold, which was still high for a fungus, and entered the main hall.
After looking around at the fungi in the hall, he found Chun Yun who was still standing in front of the map, and hurriedly ran towards Chun Yun.
The fungus man came to stand in front of Chun Yun. Chun Yun, who continued to look at the map, did not move his eyes. He opened his mouth and said to the short fungus man at his feet: "Record, send a message to King Yama and ask him, from now on
Judging from the specific situation, can we launch a night air raid on Si You's army tonight? This letter will be sent out immediately, and you will let me know immediately if you have a reply."
Chun Yun is not on the front line, so she cannot know everything in detail.
Based on the information she knew, although she could help King Yama formulate this strategy to weaken Si You's army and slow down Si You's army's advance, whether it was feasible or not would have to be decided by King Yama on the front line after personal consideration.
Therefore, Chun Yun did not act arbitrarily, but asked the fungi to send a letter to inquire first.
"No." The fungus man responded, turned around and left the lobby.
After the fungus left, Chunyun looked at the map carefully, not knowing what she was thinking about. She stood there for a long time before walking back to the lobby. She had been sitting behind a desk in her office all day.
Chun Yun, who had just sat down, looked ahead and saw the fungus who had been out for a while and turned back again.
The bacteria man who had just stood in front of Gao's case quickly raised his head and reported to Chun Yun the reply of King Yama: "Sir, the reply of Marshal Yama King is that you can fight, and he is also planning this action. But it needs to be
Your Excellency will allocate some artillery shells to him from the rear to fill the gap.
This battle consumes a lot of money. He will strive to use this night attack to not only knock out part of the menacing Si You army, but also use it to give the enemy a disincentive and seize the opportunity, so that most of the soldiers in Si You army will be defeated. Because of this battle,
And they are afraid of our army, so they are timid to fight."
Chun Yun nodded slightly and approved King Yama's military action. He also picked up a booklet at hand and quickly read through it.
On the cover of the Book of the Human World was written "Record of supplies near Dushuo Mountain". Knowing that Chun Yun was trying to allocate supplies to King Yama, he simply waited for Chun Yun's reply.
Chun Yun did not let the fungus wait too long, and gave the fungus another order: "Send an order to Shunyi City, Yuanqi City, Guxiang City and Gangfeng Town in the south of Dushuo Mountain, from their respective city-defending army mechanical depots.
In the middle, allocate artillery shells and raise them to King Yama. Each ghost town supports Dushuoshan with 400 artillery shells, and Gangfeng Town provides 100 shells."
"They must all be sent to Dushuo Mountain within one day." Chunyun paused and added.
The ghost towns she pointed out were the nearest sixty miles away from Dushuo Mountain, and the farthest ones were only eighty or ninety miles away. They can all provide quick supplies to Dushuo Mountain. Moreover, Chunyun based on the information in the book
Records indicate that the rations given to these towns were only half of the artillery shell stocks in their armories.
It can not only support Dushuo Mountain, but also prevent these towns from emptying their inventories, leaving them with empty forts and no ammunition to fire.
When Chun Yun closed the book in her hand, the fungus who remembered her every word responded again, turned around and ran away quickly.
As soon as the fungus left the house, a human-spirited civil servant from the ghost office walked in.
After a rare rest, Chun Yun became busy again.
The civil servant strode to the front of Gao'an, bowed, and asked Chun Yun bluntly for instructions: "Sir, now Si You's army is invading in large numbers, and our army is fighting back against the invading enemy without hesitation.
Regarding this heroic act, can tomorrow's Di Di newspaper publish a little bit about the battle situation, so that the ghost people across the country can know that our soldiers are fighting bravely to protect their homes and country."
This civil servant always had an angry expression on his face, and it remained so even after the report was finished; it seemed that he was very enthusiastic about lashing out at the enemies who invaded the Jiuyou Kingdom.
Of course, this civil servant also had other considerations, which was to use this to unite the people's hearts and let the ghost people of Jiuyou Kingdom know that the peace they lived in was obtained by the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy.
Chun Yun was not excited, but remained calm. She listened carefully to the clerk's request, and after thinking about it carefully, she slowly shook her head and rejected him: "That's not appropriate; the matter will be announced one day, but
Not now."
"Why?" The clerk was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked quickly, eager to ask Chun Yun to tell him a reason.
"Why? Xiao Li, it's good for you to be serious and careful in your work, but you have to think carefully about the problem." Chun Yun did not blame the other party, but patiently gave the answer the clerk wanted: "Now, Qing
King Qiu Hu and the delegation from the Fox Kingdom are still in our country. As soon as the newspaper was published, they bought it.
At first glance, you can tell something. Now, what the Lord wants is an atmosphere of peace in the world to ensure that the peace talks and future cooperation between the two countries can be stable and long-term. It is not good for war reports to appear at this time.
It’s not too late for you to start this matter after the mission has left.”
This is what Chun Yun is thinking, but of course it is not entirely true. Chun Yun also considered that this war was secretly instigated by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. Once it is reported at this time, it means that the military information of the Jiuyou Kingdom is transmitted at an alarming rate.
Things are no longer a secret in Qingqiu Fox Country.
And what Xiao Shizhu has always shown and created in front of the Qingqiu Fox Country is an illusion that the Jiuyou Country's news transmission is very slow.
This will have an unexpected effect in the future battle between Qingqiu Fox Kingdom and Jiuyou Kingdom.
This advantage and trump card of Jiuyou Country cannot be destroyed just because of a Di newspaper.
It's just that Chun Yun didn't tell the official in front of him.
But she had already considered this in a moment.
As for the civil servant in front of her, he was still too young.
After racking my brains for a long time, I still didn't think of this level.
It's just that he, as a subordinate, had to obey Chun Yun's orders, and the reasons given by Chun Yun were very sufficient. After a while, the clerk could only obey the order, and he answered reluctantly: "Yes.
”.
[Now that we have entered the New Year, all parts of the country should be filled with the spirit of the New Year. If it is difficult to get up, I would like to use the spirit of the New Year and the joy to wish you a happy New Year: I wish all my friends a new year, new things, and a new beginning.
, new.asxs.. There will be new harvests in the coming year, everything will go well, and you will be safe every year.】
