"Wait a minute, you said that the Rouluo people want to annihilate my soldiers and generals together with their affiliated tribes? What's going on?" Li Kun hadn't figured out his thoughts at this time, so he couldn't help but To ask.

"Yes, where did your inference come from? Is it also guessed from the words and deeds of several prisoners?" Geng Chi asked at this time.

This prime minister, who was a military general, seemed to be very low-key when the prime minister was arguing. He only spoke occasionally and would not argue with others, but it could also be seen from his words that he was from the main fighting faction.

After listening to Geng Chi's words, Li Kun finally came to his senses and asked, "Is it really what those prisoners said?"

"If the purpose of the Rouluo people is to annihilate the official army and the affiliated tribes, it will threaten the Hu chiefs of the affiliated tribes. How can they be informed?" At this time, Wang Fu frowned, made some guesses, and then His eyes fell on Qiu Yan.

Xu Jin also nodded and said: "That's right. In the grasslands and deserts, tribal manpower is the greatest wealth of a tribe. Even if it is a subordinate race, it will not be easily sold. Otherwise, without the tribal manpower as a backer, its chief will also How can we regain our power and value if we don’t have any support?”

This has been made very obvious. Even if the Rouluo people had the intention to plot the Darui army and the affiliated tribes together to carry out poisonous tactics, they would not inform the Hu chieftains.

In contrast, Qiu Yan's information channels were undoubtedly these Hu chieftains. In addition, even if he had other channels, he would not be easily exposed to the emperor. Everyone else knew this.

In this case, the question arises, if several prisoners did not know it, how could it be revealed inadvertently?

Li Kun had already thought about this clearly and cast a doubtful look at Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan was not surprised. He shook his head and said: "It is difficult to judge this conclusion based on the words of several prisoners. After all, their vision is limited. They can only understand what they know and do not know the entire battle situation. Otherwise, they would not know the situation." Become a prisoner."

"Oh? Shen Zhi, do you mean to combine the words of these prisoners and put them on the entire battlefield?" Ma Yang thought for a while and said this.

Hearing this, Qiu Yan nodded and said, "That's right. If you look closely at the words of the prisoners today, there is nothing special about them. What can be analyzed from them is that the Rouluo people undoubtedly ordered several of their tribes to follow the established route. Heading towards a place on the grassland, just..."

"Just what?" Li Kun couldn't help but ask.

Qiu Yan said: "There is no basis for what I say. Please, Your Majesty, please send the things I have prepared to you here."

"That's right!" Li Kun glanced at Eunuch Wei. Nod slightly.

Eunuch Wei immediately ordered to go down. After a few breaths, he saw a young man from the Huangmen hurriedly come in and arrived in front of Eunuch Wei. After whispering in his ear, Eunuch Wei frowned, then came to the emperor and also whispered.

"Huh? It's so big? It doesn't matter. Since it was sent by Qiu Qing, there will definitely be no problem, so just carry them in." Li Kun was just stunned. He made a decision. Compared with before, he now has a bit more decisiveness.

This order was passed out, and not long after, four guards came in carrying a huge rectangular wooden basin. There was sand in the basin, some were green, there were undulating sand piles, and there were several wooden carvings like cities. distributed among them.

"What's this?"

Seeing this object, several chief ministers showed doubts and looked at it carefully. There was no mystery. Only Geng Chi's expression changed slightly and he was a little surprised after seeing the undulating sand piles, a small patch of green, and several wooden sculptures of the city.

After several guards placed the sand basin on the ground, the basin shook slightly and the sand in the basin beat slightly. Only then did the others realize that the color of the soil in the basin was not just sand, but a whole piece of fired pottery. The tool can be made into a continuous shape, covered with a layer of sand and green grass.

"Qiu Qing, what is this?" Li Kun also frowned, a little confused. The news that came from the small yellow door just now was because he was worried after seeing this huge artifact that had no known use. Just came in to report.

"Your Majesty, I call this object a sand table. After I joined the office, I went to the Ministry of Industry to find one or two craftsmen and taught them the firing method. I just made it two days ago." Qiu Yan had no idea. He kept it secret, and did not plan to spend much time introducing it. After listening to the emperor's inquiry, he walked straight to the edge of the sand table, pointed at a continuous sand dune in the basin and said, "Your Majesty, please look, this thing is Dajie Mountain..."

Then he moved his finger, pointed at the wooden carving of a city in "Shannan" and said: "This is the capital city within the Guan Nei, and here..." He pointed in the opposite direction, "It is the Great Grassland outside the Guan."

"Huh? This thing is actually a map!" Seeing this, not to mention Li Kun, even Ma Yang and others understood and showed surprise, "It's so ingenious to actually make a map into such a physical object."

"It's not just exquisite," Geng Chi confirmed his guess at this time. When he saw the scene on the plate just now, he felt that it looked familiar. It was similar to a map he had seen before, but more precise and intuitive. "With this thing, it can be said that It has infinite uses, and it will be of great benefit to the army. I sincerely request your majesty to let the craftsmen in the army take a look at it and imitate it in the future."

After all, Geng Chi was born as a general, and he could see the military value behind the sand table with just one glance.

"Let's talk about this later. We still need Qiu Qing to explain things clearly for now..." After a few pointers from Qiu Yan, Li Kun understood the purpose of the sand table, and his eyes fell on the small flags on the sand table. , it can be seen that this actually represents the army.

"Yes," Qiu Yan nodded and said, "I believe that the words of the prisoners this time have been reviewed by His Majesty and all the governors..." Every time Qiu Yan analyzes the intelligence, there will be a dedicated person from the Chengzhi Department. Pass it to the palace.

Everyone nodded, and Qiu Yan continued: "From this information, it can be seen that although the migration of the three major tribes was threatened by the imperial army, it was not a temporary move, but had a clear goal. , and the reason why they dispersed is also to separate the imperial army..."

While speaking, Qiu Yan squatted down, stretched out his hand, and slid on the sand table, leaving three traces.

In this way, the scene was particularly intuitive, and even the political chief who was not very knowledgeable about military matters and was very good at it could clearly understand the route.

In fact, although they, the prime ministers, have seen military intelligence passed on in the past, they still need additional explanations from their staff and think tanks before they can have a clear understanding. This is not because the prime ministers are incompetent, but because of their specialization in the art. Many times, , they only serve as helmsmen, and specific matters must be handed over to specialized people, otherwise problems will inevitably occur.

But now, with Qiu Yan's deduction on the sand table, a few people can see clearly without the need for staff analysis, which is also a different kind of gain.

While Qiu Yan was talking and painting, the three traces quickly gathered in one place. It was a bare mountain top, with no vegetation in front or behind, and sand in all directions.

"Huh? What kind of troops do they want here?" Li Kun frowned and asked, "Where is this place?"

Qiu Yan glanced at Li Kun, and then spit out a name: "This mountain has many names in the grassland, and in the Central Plains, it is called Fenglang Mountain by some people!"

Seal Wolf Mountain!

As soon as this name came out, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study immediately changed and became a little heavier.

After a while, Li Kun asked: "But where was the decisive battle between Feng Langhou and Xiong Bei? Is there an inscription erected on it?"

"It's really hard to predict whether it was the place where the decisive battle took place. After all, the young marquis who bravely championed the three armies was a figure from the Great Yan Dynasty. It was too long ago." Qiu Yan shook his head, "However, the shape of this mountain , I also know that it is shaped like a wolf's head, and there is an inscription on the wolf's head, but I don't know what is written on the inscription."

"Is it really the place where the Xiongbei Great Chanyu was destroyed in the first place? But why did the Rouluo people lead the imperial army there? Is there some mystery in it?" Geng Chi said and pondered. In the presence of the audience, his art of war practice For the most part, when hearing such news, of course one must make speculations.

At this time, Zhang Lian calmed down his gloomy expression, but looked at Qiu Yan coldly, and said: "Since you, Bachelor Qiu, can even describe the shape of the mountain, how can you not know what the inscription says? If you can tell it, wouldn't you? Don't you think I'm making any assumptions?"

"That makes sense. What's wrong with Qiu Qing?" After hearing this, Li Kun couldn't help but become suspicious.

It is never a good sign for a ruler to be suspicious of his ministers.

With a slight sigh, Qiu Yan stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not that I want to hide it, but the reason why. There are some things that are inconvenient to talk about here."

"It turns out there is a hidden secret," Ma Yang said at the right moment, "No matter what the reason is, with His Majesty here, how can anyone dare to doubt your intentions? Just tell them all." These words seemed to force Qiu The words were actually a warning to Zhang Lian, and also to help Qiu Yan dispel the suspicion in the emperor's mind.

Smiling towards Ma Yang, Qiu Yan nodded and said: "In that case, let Qiu make it clear that at this time he still has a relationship with Mr. Su from Dayan. Please take a look..." After saying this, the hand suddenly Shine!

At the same time, outside the palace, in the backyard of Qiu Yan's mansion, there was a sudden vibration in his room, and then a ray of light burst out of the window!

Whoosh!

This light traveled thousands of miles in an instant, and rushed straight towards the palace in the blink of an eye!

This scene was horrifying in the eyes and perceptions of every caring person in the city.

"Who is it? He actually attacked the palace!"

"I really don't know how to live or die. In the forbidden area of ​​the palace, even the powerful ones in the fifth and sixth realms have to stay away..."

"What exactly is the method?"

Amidst all the surprises, ridicules, and doubts, that ray of light entered the deep palace without any hindrance! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
