Chapter 152: The Eve of the Division

Qi Diaozi said with some concern: "Have you ever thought that Qiu Yutang might attack our Western Legion first?"

"Not possible." Meng Hu shook his head and said sternly, "but it is certain that Qiu Yutang will definitely attack our Western Legion for both public and private!"

Qi Diaozi said sternly: "The division of troops this time is really too dangerous for the Western Legion."

"There are certain risks."

Meng Hu smiled, and a trace of burning heat suddenly flashed through his eyes, and he said with a grim voice, "But risk coexist with opportunity. Isn't this division of troops a good opportunity for the Western Legion? I always believe that the real tiger and wolf army is fought from the battlefield, not trained!"

"Too."

Qi Diaozi nodded, "This time the division of troops, the Western Legion will face the encirclement of the 400,000-500,000 troops of the Mingyue Empire alone with the strength of a legion. This is indeed a rare opportunity to train troops. Bei Zhi also believes that the general will lead the Western Legion to fight a bloody path from the numerous interceptions of the Mingyue Empire Army, and finally lead a brave and warlike tiger and wolf army!"

Meng Hu clenched his fists tightly and said with a grim voice: "More importantly, the fate of Meng Yan and the more than 300,000 troops in the middle is completely in our hands! If when the war on the midline battlefield is at the most intense, we suddenly withdrew our troops and gave way and let Qiu Yutang's hundreds of thousands of Mingyue Imperial Army go south, hehe, what will happen?"

Qi Diaozi said: "The best result is to lose one or two legions, and the worst result is to destroy the entire army!"

"Imagine if the Western Expedition Army is destroyed, what kind of pattern will the Middle Earth world become? The Mingyue Empire and the Guangxi Empire will suffer severe damage at the same time. It will be impossible to recover within ten years. But we have a whistling tiger and wolf army in our hands. What will the Meng family use to ask me to continue to be loyal to me?"

In front of Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao, Meng Hu no longer needs to hide his ambitions. Yes, he just wants to support his troops and become independent. He has never been a person who is willing to live in the underworld!

Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao looked at each other, and a hint of expectation flashed through their eyes at the same time. Both of them were undoubtedly wise men with considerable abilities. Anyone with abilities always hoped that their abilities would have a stage and opportunity to display their abilities, and Meng Hu could undoubtedly provide them with an excellent stage!

"I am waiting for the day when the general is in charge of his troops and reincarnates!"

The excitement in Qi Diaozi's eyes quickly faded away, and his face returned to solemn again. He said in a deep voice, "This time the general must grasp a standard, and the progress must be fast at the beginning. Naturally, someone around Meng Yan will speak for us. Meng Yan's middle army will also accelerate the advancement speed. Then when Meng Yan's middle army has penetrated into the hinterland, the general must slow down the advancement speed or even stop moving forward!"

"Haha." Meng Hu smiled, "Old Qi, you are with Xiang again. Shi Miyuan is really a mysterious person. He is said to be Meng Yan's master and a confidant aide. In the future, he will become an imperial teacher with high power and extraordinary status. He should spare no effort to help Meng Yan, but the actual situation is not the case at all."

Qi Diaozi said: "This Shi Miyuan is indeed suspicious. I really don't know what his identity is?"

"It doesn't matter what Shi Miyuan's identity is." Meng Hu waved his hand and smiled, "What's important is that his interests are now consistent with us, otherwise he would not add fuel to the fire and secretly promoted Meng Yan to modify Meng Ke's Qingzhou strategy. Since he and our interests are now consistent, why not cooperate with him, haha."

Jia Wudaodao: "I think Shi Miyuan doesn't have a good intention, and he is a dangerous person."

Meng Hu reached out and patted Jia Wudao on the shoulder and said, "Old Jia, you are right. Shi Miyuan is indeed a dangerous person, and the tacit understanding between him and us is limited. If this guy still has the life to go back after the end of this Western Expedition, he will find a chance to kill him!"

Jia Wudao agreed and said deeply: "The general is wise. If a dangerous person like Shi Miyuan cannot be used by the general, he must be killed as soon as possible!"

The Guardian of Kawahara City, Mengyan’s temporary headquarters.

After returning to the headquarters, Meng Yan felt more suspicious as he thought about it. He always felt that Meng Hu should not support his plan to divide the troops, but Meng Hu just supported it. Could it be that there were any loopholes in this plan that he didn't know, but Meng Hu discovered it? Meng Yan became more and more uneasy as he thought about it, and he sent someone to summon Shi Miyuan to his headquarters.

Meng Yan asked, "Mr. Miyuan, don't you think Meng Hu's words and deeds are suspicious?"

Shi Miyuan said: "Does Your Highness think Meng Hu should not support the division plan?"

"Yes." Meng Yan frowned and said, "Everyone knows Xiao Wang's thoughts about Qinghan, and this country bumpkin knows it well. Can he have such kindness?"

Shi Miyuan smiled and said, "Haha, this is why Your Highness doesn't understand Meng Hu anymore."

Meng Yan said: "What does this mean?"

Shi Miyuan said: "If Your Highness has studied the wars on which Meng Hu became famous, you will find that this guy is actually a very self-centered guy. He is not used to obeying others' orders, such as the battle to kill Situ Biao before Tianlang Pass. This guy led a light army squadron to attack without permission, and two battles in Hexi Fortress. This guy didn't obey the military orders of the commander of the army, so it is not surprising that he can preside over the plan of division of troops this time, because when he acts with a large group of people, his western legion will be controlled by His Highness. If he divides his troops, the western legion will be completely under his control!"

"So that's the case, then Xiao Wang will feel relieved."

After Shi Miyuan explained this, Meng Yan's doubts were gone and he finally felt relieved.

The garrison of the Western Legion, the central army tent.

When Meng Hu was discussing matters with Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao, Zhang Xingba suddenly came in and said, "General, the Northern Governor Chongshan is here, and now he will be at the big tent."

"Chongshan?" Qi Diaozi frowned when he heard this and whispered, "The division of troops has been decided, why are he still coming to the general for?"

Meng Hu pondered for a moment and said to Jia Wudao and Qi Diaozi: "Old Jia avoided it, Lao Qi and I went outside the tent to greet him."

When Meng Hu and Qi Diaozi came out of the tent, they saw that Chongshan was almost in front of them and they were alone. Meng Hu and Qi Diaozi quickly took two steps forward, clasped their fists and said, "See the Governor."

Chongshan said calmly: "General Meng Hu and I are both commanders, so there is no need to be so much courtesy."

Meng Hu smiled slightly and said, "Please, please come from the old general."

Chongshan nodded and followed Meng Hu into the tent. The two of them fell down. Meng Hu asked, "The old general came late at night. Could it be that he was worried about the daytime affairs?"

Chongshan stroked his chin and said with a sigh: "I am really a little hard to let go of the matter during the day, but when I think back, the plan to divide the troops proposed by Your Highness is also a dangerous move. Although the risk is extremely high, if you take the risk successfully, it can really kill the Mingyue Empire. I am already old, and have taken fame, wealth, right and wrong, success or failure. This time I gave up this old bone to accompany Your Highness and the General for a crazy trip!"

Meng Meng said happily: "It would be better for the veteran general to think this way. Otherwise, the three-finger officers of the Western Expedition Army would not agree on the disagreement of the officers."

Chongshan nodded and said, "But there is one thing, I have to ask the general."

Meng Hu said solemnly: "The old general will give you the order."

Chongshan said: "This time I divided the troops, and I only need to face reinforcements from Zhuozhou, Yingzhou and Youzhou. Youzhou is the southern barbarians. The road is difficult and it is thousands of miles away. It will take at least two months to wait for them to arrive. Therefore, the northern legion of my country only needs to face two local legions, Zhuozhou and Yingzhou."

Meng Hu didn't know what Chongshan was going to say, so he could only nod.

Chongshan took a breath and continued, "The general's western legion is the northern wing, but he needs to face the three local legiones of Yunzhou, Bingzhou and Dingzhou. Among them, Bingzhou and Dingzhou legion are all cavalry corpses, which is extremely unfavorable to the general's western legion, so I want to allocate one of the two cavalry divisions of the Northern legion to the general!"

"this……"

Meng Hu couldn't help but look solemn when he heard this, thinking that this old guy, Zhongshan, is worthy of being the Duke of the Empire. His mind and demeanor are beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, Zhao Yue is much worse than him, compared to him. Chongshan is definitely a real governor and a real soldier. In his eyes, he only has the interests of the empire, but no personal honor and disgrace.

Qi Diaozi on the other side also nodded secretly, thinking no wonder Chongshan could be as famous as Situ Rui. This person's mind and demeanor were indeed extraordinary.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Hu said in a deep voice: "The old general's mind and demeanor are admired by me, but in this way, the old general's northern legion has only three divisions left, but he has to face the full attack of the two local legions of the Mingyue Empire. Is the force a little thin?"

A hint of heroism suddenly surged on Chongshan's face and said casually: "I am not an arrogant person, but I might as well tell the truth in front of the general. With the two miscellaneous legions of the Mingyue Empire, I really didn't take them seriously. Not to mention three divisions, even if there are only two divisions, I can handle it easily!"

Meng Hu said solemnly: "The old general has said this, thank you for your thanks."

Meng Hu's younger generation was completely from the bottom of his heart. He had no reason to disrespect a senior governor like Chongshan.
