Chapter 94 Trap
"The situation in Kaiyang Province is indeed not good, but no matter which party it is, no one dares to carry out their conspiracy blatantly."
Wuke understood very clearly that private conflicts would not rise to the national level, but if the traitor blatantly dealt with the Marquis of Kaiyang, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame for rebellion, and all the forces following behind him might disperse.
.
The traitors, Qingliu, and royalists represent three different literary factions.
The traitors and Qingliu both believed in the Holy Emperor's rule and hoped that the emperor would only become a symbol of power and a false king, while the ministers would hold the power of the country and lead the development of the country.
The conflict between the traitor and the Qingliu is between benefiting the world and taking care of oneself. The traitor can also benefit the world, but the prerequisite is to "take care of oneself". Only when they themselves have received enough benefits will they make the cake bigger and seek more benefits for themselves.
Qingliu worked hard to make the cake bigger from the beginning, and only waited for the day when the cake was ready before "dividing it up".
If the Sea Tribe and the Monster Tribe deal with Kaiyang Marquis openly, then the empire will let the Sea Tribe and the Monster Tribe know who has the bigger fist. The private conflicts will not be drawn to the national level, because which two races privately
The more they target the princes of the empire, the weaker they are, and how afraid they are of the empire's strength.
"Report——"
"Tell me, what's the news?"
"Tell me, miss, the Qingchuan bandit's stronghold has been discovered."
The scout brought good news, but neither Balliard nor Wook was funny.
"What is the size of the stronghold? Where is it located? How many people are there? Are there car marks on the ground? Where do the car marks lead to?"
Wu Ke immediately asked a series of questions. This was the first time he had been reused, so he naturally wanted to show off his talents and make contributions.
"The stronghold is about two miles long and one mile wide. It is built on a flat land in the mountains. It is open on all sides. The trees have been cut down and cleared. There are about a thousand bandits. As for the car marks, my subordinates have not discovered them."
"Wook, tell me what you think."
Wisdom is also power, and wise men should be respected. It’s not that Balliard has no opinion on the behavior of the Qingchuan pirates, but he is not familiar with the war methods of this world, and there may be omissions or mistakes.
People are worried.
"My subordinates guess that we have been discovered by the Qingchuan pirates."
Wook's ideas are very conservative and steady,
"The Qingchuan Bandits set up camp in Qingzhu Peak, and are naturally very familiar with the paths in this mountain. Although there are only a few hundred of us walking on remote trails, judging from the Qingchuan Bandit's behavior, there must be many scouts nearby."
"What you mean by style is——"
Balliard has never participated in a war. If a war breaks out somewhere in Rune Land, as long as it does not happen on the Shadow Island, he will never leave the Shadow Island to avoid being affected.
After all, Shadow Island has always been the incarnation of evil. If he were to travel in a war-torn country, he might be recognized by the refugees as a demon who brought disaster, and then he would be set on fire to death.
"As... Miss, you guessed, the Qingchuan bandits are treacherous people, and they are an army. They camped in the mountains and forests. Instead of defending according to danger, they built their camps on the plains, making the surrounding areas open. There must be something
Only cavalry, large-scale cavalry.
Horses, a strategic resource, cannot be held in large quantities by private individuals. Even some horses can only be taken out and sold at state-controlled horse farms, and every transaction must be recorded in detail.
When selling horses in the horse farm, the price of the horses must be recorded, and the information of the person who purchased the horses must also be registered. Within one month after the people get enough horses, they must send the horses to the local government, and wait until the data is verified with the racecourse.
Only then did the common people really own horses.
Therefore, what we are facing is an army under the command of a traitor, and the army will not fail to send scouts. We were discovered before we entered Qingzhu Peak."
"Keep talking."
It is reasonable to speculate that although their trip was hidden, the traitor would definitely not be unaware of it, let alone that they had already found the Qingchuan bandit's stronghold.
"If the Qingchuan pirates want to trade with the lady, they will naturally want to be in an open area so that we can find them, but this does not mean that they will build their camp in an open area.
Although the cavalry is extremely powerful, the elite servants of the Hou Mansion are all veterans of many battles, and their strength is above the second-rate. The traitor will not think that a group of local cavalry can defeat a group of second-rate elites.
That stronghold may be an ambush."
"Why an ambush?"
Balliard did not peek into the camp. After entering Qingzhu Peak, he did not use his abilities to avoid being discovered by possible literary experts.
"Will the traitor really exchange the eldest young master with the lady? The traitor's goal is either to hold us back, or you, the lady. So what are the means by which the lady can rescue the eldest young master?"
Wook continued to analyze.
"Sneak into the camp and take Jiang Miao away, or forcefully break through the stronghold and capture Jiang Miao. These are the only two ways."
But Jiang Miao has been missing for more than ten years, and he is the eldest son of Kaiyang Hou, the enemy of the traitor. If he fell into the hands of the traitor, how could the traitor spare Jiang Miao's life? Anyway, no one knows who killed Jiang Miao.
Maybe the people who killed Jiang Miao no longer know who Jiang Miao is.
The so-called rescue, in Balliard's opinion, was a joke at the beginning. The purpose of his trip was to make these treacherous people mistakenly think that Balliard and others had fallen into the trap, and used a strategy to lure the snake out of the cave.
"That's right, the eldest young master is either out of the hands of the traitor or has died. If the young lady is here, she must rescue the eldest young master. Someone will definitely be sent to investigate at that time, and the person who sneaks into the camp must be highly skilled in martial arts, and he will undoubtedly be Butler Zhao.
.
And there must be a dragnet set up somewhere in the camp, just waiting for Butler Zhao to step into it. Then, not only can the team of traitors catch the young lady, but at least they can leave the young lady without a protector around her.
Moreover, at that time, the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion, which had been taken away by the young lady with a large number of elites, might have been broken into by some bandits, and no one was left alive. Only the surviving young lady returned to Kaiyang to stabilize the situation.
However, the prince is dead, the lady is underage, and the people under his rule are unstable. Will the princes around him not be able to think about it? When the princes deal with the lady and take over Kaiyang Province, the traitor can give these princes
I was convicted - they were the ones who killed the Marquis and captured Kaiyang Province.
In this way, we can not only deal with the serious problem in our heart, but also don't have to bring more infamy to ourselves."
"This is the traitor's plan for us to sneak into it secretly. So, what if we attack head-on? How can the traitor respond?"
