At this time, the top Taoist next to him spoke, "Commander, I told you before that there are great changes in the capital. I think Xiao Jingyun must have received the news, so he dared to come down the mountain."
Zhu Meng sighed, "Oh, how could a great situation end like this?"
The Taoist priest Jiejing rolled his eyes and clasped his fists at Zhu Meng, saying, "Commander, we only have one way to go now."
Zhu Meng looked at him and gestured to continue, "Commander, we can quickly occupy Qingniu County, and then send people to contact Datu Country and Dazhu Country. As long as they are willing to send troops to help, when the border is in chaos, we will take the opportunity to fight back.
The capital still has a glimmer of hope."
After hearing these words, Zhu Meng let out a long sigh, "Oh, Taoist Priest, you say it lightly, but why should the Earth Country and Dazhu Country help me?"
The supreme Taoist smiled slightly and said, "The princes of these two countries are all my disciples. If I write a letter and have it delivered, they will naturally send troops."
When Zhu Meng heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "That's great, that's great. I've been able to thank you for everything."
At this time, Zhang Liao next to him spoke, "Commander, the Taoist has come a long way and he must be tired. We should let the Taoist take a rest first."
Of course Zhu Meng understood what Zhang Liao meant and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, then please go down and have a rest first."
When the Jueding Taoist walked away, Zhu Meng turned to look at Zhang Liao, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this matter?"
Zhang Liao nodded and spread out the map on the table, "Commander, look, the terrain around Qingniu County is flat and there is no danger to defend. Furthermore, this county is too small for our 300,000-strong army to deploy."
Zhu Meng frowned and thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Well, what you said makes sense, so what should we do in your opinion?"
Zhang Liao clasped his fists again and said, "Commander, send a small force to occupy Qingniu County and lead a large force to station at Qingniu Mountain."
"What, you mean going up the mountain?" Zhu Meng looked surprised. "It's difficult to supply supplies on the mountain. If the troops of ten princes arrive and besiege Qingniu Mountain, there will be no way for us to survive."
Zhang Liao smiled slightly, "Commander, since Xiao Jingyun can carry supplies to the mountain, why can't we store them in advance?"
"Besides, Xiao Jingyun can come down from the mountain without anyone noticing. I think there must be a secret passage on the mountain. As long as we search carefully, we will definitely find it."
"Besides, since Xiao Jingyun has gone down the mountain, the mountain will be vacant, which can be used as your main tent for the Chinese army."
After hearing what Zhang Liao said, Zhu Meng thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"That's fine. Send the order and move all the supplies to the mountain."
"We must also be prepared to go up the mountain at any time."
Zhang Liao bowed and accepted the order and left.
Soon Jueding Taoist wrote two letters and asked Zhu Meng to send people to send them to Datu Kingdom and Dazhu Kingdom respectively.
At almost the same time, on Qingniu Mountain, Liu Kai, Ma Xiaoyi, Chu Han and others were making final preparations.
According to the plan, they will retreat from Qingniu Mountain tonight.
Looking at the pile of supplies on the mountain, Liu Kai wanted to destroy them but couldn't bear it. After all, it took a lot of effort to move them up.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Kai sighed, "That's all, just leave it here, maybe it can be used in the future."
At this time, on Centipede Ridge, Xiao Jingyun also received news that Zhu Meng's army had made some changes and began to carry supplies to the mountain.
After hearing the news, Jamel Xiao frowned and thought for a long time.
Finally, Princess Zhaoning next to her spoke up, "Brother Emperor, I think this Zhu Meng probably also wants to occupy Qingniu Mountain."
After hearing what she said, Xiao Jamyun nodded, "Yes, what you said makes sense. Only staying in Qingniu Mountain can keep him alive."
"Brother Emperor, if you want me to tell you, just send people to arrest Zhu Meng and this matter will be over."
Regarding Princess Zhaoning's proposal, Xiao Jamyun shook his head.
"No, many of the people Zhu Meng brought are his die-hard loyalists. If they catch him, they will be divided and forced into a desperate situation. If they attack the people, the situation will be more difficult to control."
"So if we want to fight, we must decide the outcome with one fight and avoid future troubles forever."
After hearing Jamel Xiao's words, Princess Zhaoning nodded helplessly.
"Okay, everything will be as the emperor said."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "Pay close attention to Zhu Meng's movements. As long as he doesn't do anything that endangers the people, don't pay attention to him. We will make plans when the ten princes arrive."
At this time, Lu Dong and Wang Long on the mountain also received news that the army was coming to the mountain.
This news made them both immediately realize that the situation had changed significantly.
Lu Dong looked at the main peak of Qingniu Mountain looming across the canyon and sighed, "If General Wang is like this, then we must pass through this canyon."
Wang Long also let out a long sigh, "Yes, an army of 300,000 people is swarming up Qingniu Mountain. If we don't go to the other side, I'm afraid we won't be able to take it."
"Yes, we have to find a way to build the bridge as soon as possible, otherwise we will become more passive."
But what method should be used? The two of them stared at each other, no one could figure it out.
At night, while the two were drinking together, soldiers suddenly rushed in.
"Two generals, please go and take a look. It's pitch black on the other side and there's no light at all."
Upon hearing this, Ludong Wanglong immediately got out of the tent, climbed on a huge rock next to it, and looked towards the other side.
Isn't it? It's pitch black on the other side, with no light at all.
Seeing this scene, Wang Long thought, "Maybe they all ran away."
Lu Dong frowned and turned to look at the deputy general next to him.
"Just go down the rope here and let people fall to the bottom of the canyon to test the reaction on the other side."
Soon a group of soldiers noisily tied up several arm-thick ropes.
Then another soldier held a torch and brazenly dropped to the bottom of the canyon.
It was still quiet on the other side, with no movement at all.
Wang Long signaled to continue to the opposite side, and then tentatively climbed up to see if there was anything abnormal.
It was still quiet on the other side.
Seeing this scene, Wang Long probably felt confident. He knew that the other party had probably run away.
If that's the case, then just rush to the opposite side at once.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, lit torches and climbed up all night.
Although the canyon is very high, it is still possible to climb up after many attempts without interference.
Of course, this is also very dangerous. If you accidentally fall down, you will either die or be injured.
After a full night of work, a few soldiers finally succeeded in climbing up the canyon the next morning.
Of course, several soldiers fell down and died.
Wang Long was very excited when he saw his man standing on the opposite side.
"Hurry up and pull the ropes to build the bridge. We must build the bridge today."
According to Wang Lung's arrangement, both sides of the canyon became lively again. What Wang Lung built was not an iron chain bridge, but ropes densely lined up one by one.
