He cursed in his heart and returned to the demon camp with a dozen tiger demon guards. The first thing he did was to summon all the wolf leaders into the main tent to hold a meeting inside the tent.
Among these wolf demon leaders, there are only two ninth-rank warriors, and the others are ordinary people with some skills.
So, most of them were drowsy,
I was so disturbed by the gunshots that I couldn’t sleep at all!
He Xingfa said: "I have thought about it carefully. What you said before makes sense. It is indeed very risky to cross the river rashly."
Wolf demons: ???
After getting along with each other for so long, they all felt that He Xingfa was a very arrogant person who couldn't speak properly.
Why did you suddenly change your tune today?
They couldn't help but speculate that it was Li Qingcha's credit, and they felt mixed emotions and even a surge of gratitude towards Li Qingcha.
that's the truth,
The reason why He Xingfa adopted a soft, almost apologetic attitude was because he was threatened by Li Qingcha.
On the surface, he was very tough and said that he was not afraid of any counterattack from Li Qingcha, but secretly he was really worried that Li Qingcha would do something strange and suddenly send troops to attack the demon camp.
After all, his troops are not well rested now, and they cannot fight head-on.
Moreover, with the Zhaolu River at its back, there was no way to retreat.
If a fight really breaks out, I will definitely be treated like a fool and be beaten up behind closed doors.
He Xingfa gave the order: "Early tomorrow morning, we will retreat to the other side of the river and set up camp there. We must set off as early as possible. The earlier the better. It would be best if..."
I haven't finished speaking yet,
boom--
There was a burst of gunfire from the human camp.
He Xingfa: “…”
Everyone: "..."
They were indeed tortured to the point of having a nervous breakdown.
A demon leader said: "General, this will probably have a huge impact on the morale of our army. After all, we just crossed the river this afternoon and will go back tomorrow morning. We change our orders every day..."
He Xingfa interrupted,
"No, you must obey me on this matter. Besides, have you all received the information from the scouts?"
The wolf demon generals lowered their heads.
Of course they knew what He Xingfa was talking about.
At night, about a quarter before the hour of the Ox, a scout reported that they saw a human transport team carrying a large number of muskets and pills into the fortifications.
It was obvious that Li Qingcha was going to keep firing his gun to disgust them with the noise.
At this time, it is better to retreat to the other side of the river.
Although the Zhaolu River also has noise, there are differences between different noises. For example, the sound of rain and water flow can promote sleep, but the sound of gunfire is completely the opposite.
More importantly, the sound of the flowing water of the Zhaolu River can drown out the sound of gunfire.
Everyone in the tent was silent.
He Xingfa said: "Morale... Crossing the river back will indeed hit our army's morale, but on this side of the river, hearing the human race firing guns day and night, and worrying about them rushing over at any time, won't it be a bigger blow to morale?"
Someone asked: "Didn't the general worry at all that Li Qingcha would attack?"
"That was before I didn't... um... I mean, I expected that the enemy army would not tear each other apart, so I was not worried at all, but how could the soldiers below not be worried?"
"That's what the general said."
The wolf demon generals did not object.
He Xingfa let out a long sigh and waved to them.
"You all should go back and make arrangements. I still have something to think about. I just had some conversation with Li Qingcha..."
The voices behind were barely audible.
The wolf demon generals could not help but exchange glances silently.
Sure enough...
Li Qingcha cured He Xingfa.
Their mood suddenly became much lighter and they chatted as they left the tent.
Watching their backs, He Xingfa couldn't help but spit, and then said to his guards: "Give me paper and charcoal black, I want to draw something."
The guards immediately took action and helped get the things.
He Xingfa closed his eyes tightly and recalled, muttering to himself: "Map...map..."
After a long time, he opened his eyes and began to draw according to his memory.
Of course, he didn't know what the grid lines and icons on Li Qingcha's map meant, so he could only rely on rote memorization, and what he drew couldn't be very accurate.
"I can only try my best to imitate..."
Muttering to himself, he finished drawing the map.
He Xingfa knew very well that what Li Qingcha said was not entirely true. If he accepted everything he said, he would definitely be fooled.
For example, the plan to send light cavalry,
Li Qingcha's official position in the human court was the head of the Ministry of Rites. Even if He Xingfa didn't know much about the departments and institutions of the human race, he certainly knew that the Ministry of Rites was where civil servants worked.
It should be impossible for civil servants to deploy troops.
But that doesn't mean the map is wrong.
The fact that the Holy Kingdom's spies were willing to expose themselves in order to obtain the method of drawing the map is enough to prove that this thing is indeed valuable.
but,
"Can not Understand it……"
He Xingfa stared at the map in a daze.
Just then, there was a flurry of footsteps outside.
A tiger demon's personal guard rushed in.
He rushed to He Xingfa, knelt on one knee, and said, "General, the maid is here!"
He Xingfa was stunned.
"What? How could a maid ..."
"I came here in secret."
"..."
He Xingfa couldn't help but frown.
It would take a large army seven days to travel from the royal court to the border between the two countries. Even for ordinary people like scouts and messengers, even if they rode at full speed, with three riders taking turns, traveling day and night, it would still take two and a half days.
There was no reason for the maid to receive news of the military confrontation between her and Li Qingcha.
Could it be that something unexpected happened in the royal court?
He Xingfa's white silk cannot ride on my sister.
He said, "Please bring the maid in quickly. I will... um..."
My eyes moved to the map on the table.
He Xingfa quickly packed up.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
A clear and elegant voice came from behind, saying: "He Youji, what is there to hide?"
He Xingfa couldn't help but freeze in his movements.
He turned around,
The curtain of the big tent had been drawn open, and the cold moonlight shone in, casting a shadow on the floor of the big tent.
Faintly, I could make out that it was a woman.
The reason why it is vague is that the woman was wearing a loose hooded robe, which wrapped herself tightly, and apart from her figure, almost no other details could be seen.
He Xingfa broke out in cold sweat.
"Maid! Your Majesty... Why did your Majesty send you here so early? Are you... um... Let me pour you a glass of water."
The maid laughed softly,
She walked forward slowly, her eyes resting on the table.
"This is... a map?"
He Xingfa nodded first, then shook his head and said, "This is Li Qingcha... um... the head of the Reception Department of the Ministry of Rites, and one of the persons in charge of this autumn hunt..."
"No need to introduce him, I've known him for a long time."
"Yes, it was Li Qingcha. I drew this from memory from the military map he had hanging in the big tent."
"..."
The maid said nothing.
No one present knew what she was thinking.
After a while, the maid said, "Didn't He Youji not care about these things before?"
He Xingfa quickly defended himself.
"I really don't care about maps. I think it's fine as long as they can be used. It's just that... it's just that Li Qingcha boasted too much this time, saying that in addition to the Holy Kingdom's court, there are also Sulibu, Cangzhuo, and Huerfan marked on the map..."
"So, this is a map drawn by humans using new technology?"
"Probably so."
“Haha…I see…”
The maid stepped forward and handed a brocade box to He Xingfa.
"Open it and take a look."
He Xing trembled even more violently.
He opened the brocade box and found only a piece of paper inside, not any pills. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then took it out, unfolded it and read it.
1 second……
5 second……
10 second……
thump--
He Xingfa knelt down.
"My lady maid, I am wronged! I have never sent any letters to the Wolf Barbarians in the capital... the Wolf Totem Warriors!"
Chapter 438 Am I that kind of person!?
the next day,
Li Qingcha got up and walked out of the tent, bumping into Ao Jingshan.
The other party looked excited.
"Master Li, the demon tribe is retreating!"
Li Qingcha was somewhat surprised.
Diplomacy is nothing more than negotiation. It is normal to reach a compromise after many rounds of negotiations. How can it be achieved so easily in one battle?
Could it be that He Xing has gone crazy and really wants to fight?
Li Qingcha was speechless.
