Everyone looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
Qiguan Rang asked, "Apart from that, did the Nie army make any other moves?"
Jiang Pengji said, "I just received intelligence from the scouts at the front line that the Nie army is indeed slowly withdrawing. The defense is extremely tight. If the scouts weren't capable and the horses weren't fast, I'm afraid they wouldn't have made it back. We sent out five teams of scouts today, but only four returned … "
As a mobile unit to investigate the enemy's situation and counter reconnaissance, the importance of the scouts was undeniable. The scouts under Jiang Pengji's tent were special forces who had undergone special training. Many reconnaissance and counter reconnaissance techniques were taught by Jiang Pengji in a booklet. Scouting the terrain, drinking water, and even drawing topographical maps were not a problem. Their mastery of combat belonged to the group of people at the peak of the military camp.
To facilitate the scouts' work, Jiang Pengji equipped them with horses of the northern borderline. The harness was also specially made. Not only were they fast, but they also had strong endurance and explosive power. They had an advantage in mobility. They could escape immediately if they encountered a large group of enemies and save their lives.
Under such circumstances, the scouts suffered such heavy casualties. It could only mean one thing — the enemy was secretly making a big move.
Qiguan Rang asked again, "Is there any news from Zhongzhao?"
Jiang Pengji rested her chin on her hand and said, "The two places are far apart. By the time the news arrives, the Nie army would have withdrawn long ago."
Once again, she could not help but complain about the backward means of communication in this world. At the same time, she missed the technology that allowed people to communicate across galaxies in her previous life. Indeed, technology changed life and the form of war. If she was given a mecha now, she could ascend to the throne in a short while.
Under the circumstances of insufficient information, they could only use limited clues to determine the true situation of the enemy.
Sun Wen frowned and said, "Nie Liang was quite capable. He could suppress a few uncles in the Nie family when he was alive. However, his death was too sudden. He didn't have time to give instructions. A group of old officials hastily pushed Nie Liang's son, Nie Qing, to the throne. Nie Qing is gentle and kind. I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress the demons and monsters of the Nie family. Nie Qing only has a few thousand troops with him. If there's a mutiny in the Nie family … "
What Sun Wen said was exactly what Wei Ci and Qiguan Rang were thinking.
Nie Liang died suddenly. There was no time to pave the way for his son, Nie Qing, to pave the way for his son.
If there was a mutiny in the Nie family to seize power and Nie Qing was in danger, it would not be difficult to explain Wei Ci's anxiousness and retreat secretly.
However —
Was that really the case?
Jiang Pengji knitted her brows tightly, as if she was going through a difficult decision.
The salted fishes also learned to think. After thinking about it, they still chose to cheer for Wei Ci and the rest.
Xingyuan Miaomiao: "Salted fish doesn't need to use his brain to watch the live stream. He just needs to learn how to cheer for the military counselor."
Xue Yuexiang: "From the current clues, it seems that there is something wrong with the Nie family. The streamer can't just let the tiger return to the mountain and let Wei Dan and the others retreat, right? If they left, then so be it. If they turned around and went back to pacify the situation in the country, then the host's battle would have been in vain. Adhering to the principle of "take your life while you're down", the streamer should send troops to chase after the Nie clan's army so that they can't take care of both the front and the back.
More than 200,000 troops were held back by Jiang Pengji. Nie Qing died in the Nie family's internal strife without any support. This plot was simply wonderful!
I'm not a Bar Spirit: "No, I don't think it's that simple." What if this was a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain? The host had sent troops out of the pass to chase after the enemy, but the enemy had taken a detour to attack Zhanjiang Pass. If so, wouldn't the streamer be in a passive position? "
I'm not a Bar Spirit: "However, according to the current clues, it's obvious that the Nie clan is in internal strife and Nie Qing is in danger." Is the streamer going to miss this opportunity and watch the enemy swagger away? Letting the tiger return to the mountain will cause endless trouble in the future!
Nie Liang led more than 200,000 troops to fight the war. Jiang Pengji led troops to guard the pass. How much manpower, material, and financial resources did she expend?
If the enemy left just like that, they would come back every few days for a stroll. Wouldn't the streamer's finances collapse? "
Jiang Pengji closed her eyes and didn't look at the bullet screen. She was deep in thought.
After a while, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the tent.
"Report — the enemy has sent a letter of challenge. They've asked us to fight in three days."
The messenger handed the letter of challenge that Wei Dan had personally written to Wei Ci, who then passed it to Jiang Pengji.
She opened the tactical manual and took a look. Her right eyebrow was raised and there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes.
Regardless of whether it was the Emperor in the previous life or the lord in this life, this expression meant one thing — she was angry.
"You're really petty. You wrote a letter of challenge and you don't forget to curse. Are you trying to bully me because I'm illiterate?" Jiang Pengji muttered and resisted the urge to crumple the letter of challenge into a ball. "Did I kill Wei Zishun's wife or dig up his family's ancestral grave?"
At most, she angered Wei Dan's lord to death and abducted his younger brother. It wasn't a big grudge. Was there a need to curse so fiercely?
Wei Ci knew what was written in the letter of challenge.
His elder brother usually looked gentle, elegant, dignified, and polite, but he was quite vicious in his cursing.
He remembered that in the previous life, he had written an elegy in front of Nie Liang's mourning hall. The first half of the elegy praised Nie Liang to the heavens. In the second half, he mocked and insulted the villain who poisoned him. He cursed the person who poisoned him from head to toe, from his parents to his deceased ancestors. Wei Ci didn't know who poisoned him, but he later heard that Nie Liang's two uncles had fainted in front of the mourning hall.
Qiguan Rang took a look at the contents of the letter of challenge. There weren't many real words of challenge. The rest were sarcastic and sarcastic greetings.
Of course, the words of a scholar wouldn't be so vulgar, not to mention that this was a letter of challenge. But it was infuriating enough.
Qiguan Rang said calmly, "He's just someone who likes to flaunt his eloquence. My lord, you don't have to be angry with him."
Jiang Pengji said, "How am I such a petty person?"
No matter how harsh a scholar's cursing was, it was just that. When Jiang Pengji had just started streaming, the insults from the haters in the streaming room were "spectacular."
She could even ignore the vulgar insults that carried the organs of her parents and ancestors, not to mention those of Wei Dan's level.
In comparison, she was more concerned about Wei Dan's purpose of challenging her.
The scout had just sent the news back and Wei Dan had written a letter of challenge. No one would believe that he didn't have any ulterior motives.
Everyone was obviously thinking the same thing as Jiang Pengji.
Was Wei Dan's letter of challenge an invitation or was he trying to cover it up?
Jiang Pengji tapped her fingers on the brand-new bronze table. She frowned slightly. The previous table had been destroyed and melted down by her merciless abuse.
Qin Gong said, "This lowly general is willing to fight."
Zhanjiang Pass wasn't the Nie family's backyard. She could come and go as she pleased. She had to catch up with him and beat him up.
