C466 receive a military order
"Enough, there's no need to explain. I know how inconvenient it is for you guys. If you were to officially advertise now, you will be questioned about the source of the information and the means of transmission. At that time, it would not be good for you to explain it all!" Furthermore, the way this information is transmitted shouldn't be through official channels, right? " Situ Qingyun waved his hands, interrupting Qi Ningshan's answer.
"Yes, this is sent back through the marshal's personal intelligence network!" Feng Ruiyi explained.
"I got it. You guys can go back first. I'll take care of this matter!" Situ Qingyun waved his hand, signalling for the two to take their leave, then went back to look for the map beside his hand.
"The Grand Marshal is not here. He will use an order to bring the army to the Blood Jade Valley. Will this result... "That's too arbitrary!" Feng and Qi both did not leave. After looking at each other, Qi Ningshan spoke.
"Sometimes, Xiao San's thoughts are very strange, but every time, the ending is not far from his thoughts, or even completely within his expectations. I think this time is about the same! Just follow his orders! As for Old Lei and the others, I'll go speak with them! " Situ Qingyun raised his head and looked at the two of them, and said to them solemnly.
This kind of thing wasn't only once or twice, it was proven many times that this demon like nephew had some kind of god-like ability. Although the order this time was a little hard to understand, Situ Qingyun still acknowledged and believed in his nephew's ability in this aspect.
"Yes, General!" Feng and Qi nodded, bowed, and left.
The question that Qi Ningshan asked did not mean that the two of them did not trust Gongsun Ze Tian. Instead, it was because they trusted him excessively, and they were worried that others would not believe them. Even Qi Ningshan had prepared many excuses to answer the Great General Situ's question, but unfortunately, none of them were useful.
Seeing the two of them swiftly turn around and leave, Situ Qingyun secretly nodded his head, his heart praising his nephew for having such a capable talent. At the same time, he was also very pleased and happy that Situ Family had such a capable talent.
His mind raced, and very quickly, Situ Qingyun shifted his attention back to the command.
Blood Jade Valley, this place was not unfamiliar to Situ Qingyun, but instead familiar. Whether it was from the battles in the past or from the military history, Situ Qingyun was very familiar with this place. Adding that he was the military chief of the Northern Army, he would of course pay a lot of attention to the strategic location in the north.
"Xiao San, what are you trying to do?" Situ Qingyun looked at the map on the table in a daze for a while, then said to himself.
The center of the map was the location of the Blood Jade Valley, and the surroundings were mostly mountains and rivers. In this kind of non-warlike empire, this place had no strategic value at all.
"Qing Yun, what are you muttering about? "Come, drink with me!" Just as Situ Qingyun was deep in thought, Lei Sheng's loud voice came out from the tent.
"Old Lei, it's you! If you aren't going to train, then why are you here? " Situ Qingyun raised his head and laughed.
"I've finished training in the morning. Since I'm free now, of course I have to go drink!" Lei Sheng quickly said as he entered Situ Qingyun's tent.
The few days that Gongsun Ze Tian had left were the happiest days for Lei Sheng. The reason was simple, Gongsun Ze Tian was not in the army camp.
"The marshal has already ordered that during wartime, alcohol must be banned!" Situ Qingyun explained righteously. But in Lei Sheng's eyes, it was a smile filled with ridicule.
For the first time in his life, this fearless fellow who was nicknamed 'Thunder Lord' had frightened Gongsun Zaitian completely. The root cause of his fear was that his spiritual food and wine had been cut off by Gongsun Zaitian.
However, a military order was a military order, so Lei Sheng could only grit his teeth and obey. Of course, he had no choice but to obey, because Gongsun Ze Tian would not leave him any hope or luck ? ?
"But isn't that kid not here now? Even the President was unable to control his father's drink, but was restrained by him! " Lei Sheng said excitedly.
"It's alright if he doesn't, but who told you to bet with him and lose! This is called admitting defeat! " Situ Qingyun teased.
"That kid is too insidious. He openly didn't stop me from drinking and yet he came to set up a bet with me. This brat is too unreasonable!" Lei Sheng said while gnashing his teeth.
After the battle, Lei Sheng was completely convinced of his defeat. At least in front of Gongsun Zhaitian, he would never bring up another match, that would be the same as asking for trouble.
However, Gongsun Ze Tian did not let Lei Sheng go. On the second day after the prohibition of alcohol, Gongsun Ze Tian ran into Lei Sheng's tent with a plate of chess.
Lei Sheng's chess was played very well, and he had only lost to the Principal, Huangfu Wuji, in his entire life. Furthermore, he liked to play chess very much, and his degree of preference was only second to his level of drinking.
As for the information on Lei Sheng's love of playing chess, Gongsun Ze Tian had obtained it from the shadow. For this reason, the shadow had used the excuse of patrolling the horses and sentries to hide for a few days.
Their only bet was to 'drink'. If Gongsun Zaitian won, Lei Sheng would not drink alcohol until the end of the game. If Lei Sheng won, then the prohibition of alcohol would be like a piece of scrap paper to him.
Lei Sheng happily agreed to it, at the same time, he also asked the entire army to know of the bet, and with Gongsun Ze Tian pushing it away to the extent where it was difficult for him to do so, he could only follow Lei Sheng's arrangements to announce the outcome of the competition and bet.
But Lei Sheng had never thought that he would fail miserably, even without clearly asking about this abnormal person's true strength beforehand, he had rashly cut off all ties with him.
The so-called 'I came in high spirits, I left with grievances and anger', Lei Sheng went from 'the lousy horse Zhang Fei' in the beginning, to 'the cautious and prudent' in the end, and then to 'the defeated Waterloo' in the end.
Lei Sheng had successfully completed a magnificent feat of slapping their faces, and it had even been done in front of all the soldiers and soldiers.
And it was only now that Lei Sheng knew that Gongsun Zaitian's actions of evading the competition was only to trick Lei Sheng into doing so. Unfortunately, at that time, Lei Sheng was so focused on winning that he didn't care about all these. Instead, he was the one who forced Gongsun Zaitian to announce the bet in front of the entire army.
It could be said that from then on, Lei Sheng had to think about it three or four times before deciding whether or not he should do this. However, no matter how careful Lei Sheng was, he would always end up being plotted against.
"That's enough, drink less. I have serious business with you again!" Situ Qingyun did not continue exposing Lei Sheng's embarrassing act and went straight to the point.
"Business?" "What is it?" Lei Sheng was first stunned, then quickly asked.
"Marshal has sent news!" Take a look! " Situ Qingyun said as he handed the information in his hand to Lei Sheng.
"Hmm? Didn't he go to the surrounding towns to inspect them? Besides, what channel did he use to send this information to me, and why didn't I receive it? " Lei Sheng subconsciously held out his hand. He paused for a moment, then asked with suspicion.
Situ Qingyun had been waiting for Lei Sheng to ask this question for a long time. This matter was actually very subtle. If Situ Qingyun had explained it directly, then Lei Sheng would definitely have a knot in his heart, thinking that he was not the trusted person, and that it didn't matter if it was a small soldier or not. However, if it was a high ranking commander that was leading an army, it would be very easy to create dissension between the two of them.
However, if Situ Qingyun found a random reason to lie, how would he explain why the information did not get through the regular method? Perhaps the more he said, the more he was wrong. If he couldn't explain it clearly, then it would lead to more contradictions.
Situ Qingyun smiled and explained to Lei Sheng: "That brat did it on purpose. Although the order was sent to us, it was directly sent to the general staff's information department, saying that it wanted to test the working ability of the information department. The two people from the information department didn't know how to handle it, so they ran off to find me!"
It has to be said that the art of language is a very subtle and strange thing to do. The same thing, the same thing, the same way of speaking, but the meaning of it is very different, which may be the beauty of language art.
"Oh, so that's the case!" Lei Sheng did not doubt him, and nodded to look at the information.
"Well? What do you think? " Situ Qingyun asked.
"Is the marshal crazy?" After pondering for a long time, Lei Sheng finally released a sentence that would cause others to spurt on him.
"Pfft ?" Old Lei, I am asking you about your views on the Blood Jade Valley mentioned in the intelligence report! " The tea in Situ Qingyun's mouth sprayed out, without bothering to wipe it off, he said to Lei Sheng.
"That's right, this is the valley that I told you about. If the Marshal isn't crazy, then why would the army go to this kind of 'shit' place? Why is there a combat mission here? Furthermore, there is the possibility that any place is the private army's encampment, and only the Blood Jade Valley is unable to do so. If the private army continues to camp here, within seven days, half of the army will starve to death! " Lei Sheng curled his lips, and replied without denying anything.
"Perhaps he has other considerations!" Situ Qingyun shook his head, nodded his head, and said slowly.
"You mean to follow orders to this place?" Lei Sheng held onto the information, and swung it in front of Situ Qingyun's eyes and asked.
From the start, Lei Sheng had never heard Situ Qingyun speak about this order, which meant that he had long since been prepared to execute it. This kind of action made Lei Sheng puzzled.
