Chapter 202: Concealing the World (Part 1)

Just as the turmoil was getting hot, I don’t know who suddenly shouted: “General is back!”

"Uh, the general is back?"

"What, the general is back?"

When Xiong Batian and Ma Sifeng, who were holding each other desperately, looked back quickly, the crowd around had already given up a passage from the middle like waves splitting. Following the passage from the crowd, Meng Hu and chief military advisor Qi Diaozi, who had a solemn expression, walked in big strode.

Seeing Ma Sifeng and Xiong Batian fighting together, Meng Hu frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

"Uh..." Ma Sifeng quickly patted Xiong Batian on the shoulder and smiled, "We, we are competing with martial arts, hehe."

"Yes, yes." Xiong Batian also nodded repeatedly, "General, we are competing."

"Nothing."

Meng Hu frowned and groaned.

Qi Diaozi behind Meng Hu quickly waved to the soldiers watching around him and said, "It's been dispersed, the brothers have all dispersed, and they will go back to the camp to rest immediately. There will be a long-distance march tomorrow."

The military advisor spoke, and the onlookers immediately scattered.

Qi Diaozi said to Ma Sifeng and Xiong Batian again: "General Sifeng, and General Batian, you can go back and rest."

After Ma Sifeng and Xiong Batian left, Jia Wudao came up and asked in a low voice: "General, is something wrong?"

Meng Hu nodded, turned around and said to Qi Diaozi, "Lao Qi, you should tell Lao Jia."

"That's right." Qi Diaozi pondered for a moment and said to Jia Wudao, "Our army is likely to be facing an unprecedented crisis!"

After saying that, Qi Diaozi told Jia Wudao all the previous analysis and the conclusions he made. After hearing this, Jia Wudao couldn't help but take a breath of air and said in a lost voice: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Meng Hu said coldly: "This is nothing impossible."

"Where is the motive?" Jia Wudao shook his head and said, "Old Mengke has no reason to do this. He really wants to kill the general and suppress the Tiger Legion. This will be a huge loss for the Guanghui Empire! What's more, if you are not careful in your plan and let the general notice it in advance, then you will add a powerful enemy out of thin air."

Qi Diaozi said: "Old Mengke's motive is very simple, that is, to protect Mengyan and safeguard the core interests of the Glorious Empire, that is, the interests of the Meng family! As for the loss, losing the general and the Tiger Legion is indeed a loss for the Glorious Empire, but compared with the core interests of the Meng family, this loss is nothing!"

Meng Hu continued: "As for being careless in planning and leaking news, it's nothing. If Meng Ke didn't even have the confidence to do this, he would not deserve to be the regent of the Glorious Empire! Moreover, if he took a step back, even if he failed, Meng Ke did not take our Tiger Legion seriously."

"yes."

Qi Diaozi sighed, "At present, my Tiger Legion is trapped in people and horses, and the food and supplies are gone. Moreover, after a long battle, the soldiers are extremely tired of war. It is really a tired army at the end of the road. Meng Yan's more than 200,000 troops are full of troops and food, and they are waiting for their hard work. If the two armies really fight hard, our Tiger Legion will undoubtedly be defeated."

"Then, what should we do?" Jia Wudao said anxiously, "If this is the case, won't we die undoubtedly?"

"Yes." Meng Hu's expression also became unprecedentedly solemn, saying, "The situation facing our army this time is much more serious than ever before, because we were fighting in the enemy's territory before, and the enemy's army was surrounded by enemy forces. The soldiers knew the consequences of the defeat, so they were willing to fight to the death."

"But it's different now. Now our army has broken through the encirclement. Although Lao Mengke's 200,000 elite soldiers have raised their butcher knives to us, in the eyes of our soldiers, they are still friendly troops! What's more serious is that we cannot immediately explain this matter to the soldiers, otherwise the morale of the army will be in chaos!"

The last sentence Meng Hu said is the key point. With this, the Tiger Legion was defeated before the battle!

The reason is very simple. The soldiers of the Tiger Legion obviously lack the ideological preparation to fight against the Glorious Imperial Army, or in other words, the ideological preparation to raise an army and rebel. No matter how high Meng Hu's reputation is in the Tiger Legion, rebellion is a major event after all, and hasty actions will inevitably cause the soldiers to fight in thought.

What's more, among the 30,000 soldiers who survived, not all of them were as loyal as Meng Hu, and not all of them were willing to rebel with Meng Hu. For example, Ma Sifeng and more than 2,000 northern soldiers under him were pure imperial soldiers. Meng Hu believed that they would never blindly follow Meng Hu to rebel.

What I fear most about fighting in the battle is that everyone is not united!

There is a way that people are united in their hearts and mountains of Tai move, but if the people are not united in their hearts, they will be disorganized before the enemy comes to the door.

Qi Diaozi and Jia Wudao both had solemn expressions. This was the first time in the two of them that they saw Meng Hu’s solemn expressions. This was enough to prove how sinister the situation facing the Tiger Legion is. In fact, the word sinister is far from enough to describe the situation facing the Tiger Legion. If we have to use one sentence to describe it, it would be that there is no life in ten deaths!

Taking a deep breath, Meng Hu said in a deep voice: "The only chance we have now is that Meng Ke doesn't know that we have seen through his conspiracy, so we still have a little time to make a turnaround, but we can't delay it for too long, otherwise Old Meng Ke will definitely be suspicious. The situation is critical. You all tell me, what should our army do now?"

"This battle cannot be fought." Qi Diaozi said decisively, "If we fight, our army will definitely be defeated."

"But you can't run away," Jia Wudao smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about whether we can run away, even if we can run away, where can we run away? Could it be that we will turn around and join the Mingyue Empire and the little widow Qiu Yutang?"

"When we are desperate, it is a way to survive." Qi Diaozi said, "But our army has not yet reached this point."

"What should you do if Lao Qi?" Jia Wudao said, "It's not okay to fight, it's not okay to escape. What should you do if you say?"

"Go around!" Qi Diaozi said solemnly, "Since we can't fight or leave, then we can find a way to avoid Lao Mengke's army. When we go back to Xiling first, we will make full preparations. Even if we rebel, we will not act hastily and disrupt the morale of the army. In addition, our army will have more chances of victory after resting!"

“How is that easy?”

Jia Wudao smiled bitterly and said, "Although the Hexi Canyon is nearly a hundred miles wide, Meng Ke's army is entrenched on the way our army must return to Xiling. Since old Meng Ke has become interested in killing, there must be a cavalry scouts of the Imperial Guards in the Hexi Canyon. It is completely impossible for our army to pass under their noses."

"It's totally impossible?" Qi Diaozi suddenly sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's not necessarily."

"Oh?" Meng Hu's heart moved when he heard this and asked happily, "Did you have any idea?"

Qi Diaozi said: "General, when I am fine, I like to read some miscellaneous books, so I roughly know the connection between some climate change and abnormal animal migration. When I marched past the Tongtian River yesterday afternoon, I found that many earthworms broke through the ground and were migrating elsewhere. This means that within three or two days, the rainy season will come every year."

The Tongtian River originates from the great wilderness in the northeastern part of the continent, and then extends from east to west almost across the entire Middle Earth world, and eventually merges into the western ocean of the Mingyue Empire. Its river length is more than ten thousand miles away, and the basin area is even more vast. In addition, there is a specific climatic phenomenon in the middle and lower reaches of the Tongtian River, that is, there will be a period of continuous rainfall in April and May every year, which is what Qi Diaozi calls the rainy season.

Due to abnormal climate this year, the Tongtian River Basin still suffered continuous blizzards until March and April, so the rainy season was postponed accordingly.

"Is it going to rainy season?" Jia Wudao cried, "That's even worse. When the rain rains, the road is muddy, and our army can't escape even if we want to."

Qi Diaozi ignored Jia Wudao and continued: "The Tongtian River is wide and has a large flow rate. Before the rainy season every year, the river surface and the riverside area will usually cause heavy fog for several days. When the fog is thick, it can completely block the sight. Although the two are a short distance away, they cannot see each other's existence."

"hiss……"

Jia Wudao said in a silence, "Old Qi, are you saying that our army can steal from the Tongtian River when the Tongtian River fog?"

Qi Diaozi shook his head and said, "I am afraid that I can't steal it by the river. Old Mengke is old and can't ignore the warning by the river. I mean walking on the river surface, building bamboo rafts overnight, and secretly passing through the river when the Tongtian River fog. No matter how cautious Lao Mengke is, he will never expect our army to take the waterway in advance."

"This is a good idea."

Jia Wudao praised, "There is a large bamboo forest near the camp, and it is next to Tongtian River. It takes only half a day to build enough bamboo rafts. However, the question is, will it really fog like Lao Qi in three or two days? If it doesn't fog, it will be a big trouble."

Qi Diaozi stroked his beard and pondered for a moment and said, "I dare not say it's certain, but at least 50% of it is possible."

"Only 50%?" Jia Wudao shouted, "In other words, Cheng or Not is it still between?"

Qi Diaozi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The way of heaven is impermanent, who dares to assert that he can see through the way of heaven?"

"50% of the 50% will be achieved, and there is at least half of the chance. It's better than going back to join Qiu Yutang's little widow!"

Meng Hu clenched his fists tightly and said with a grim voice, "But we cannot build bamboo rafts during the day to avoid being discovered by Old Mengke. This matter must be carried out secretly at night! Although the time for rebellion is not yet ripe, we have no choice but to tear the face with the Meng family and fuck him!"

"Fuck it!"

"Fuck it!"

Jia Wudao, the scholar, also waved his fists viciously and sweared.

A sick flush surged on Qi Diaozi's face. Speaking of Meng Hu, Jia Wudao and the Guanghui Empire or the Meng family had no grudges or grudges, but Qi Diaozi and the Meng family had deep hatred. He hoped that the Meng family would be finished more than the two of them!
