Chapter 392: Enough People
"Next, we can adopt a rapid infiltration strategy to completely disrupt their position, so that they will not be able to threaten our metropolis even if they intend to in the future."
"That's a very innovative idea," Ying Zheng agreed, but then he changed the subject, "General Meng, have you considered who will command this blitzkrieg?"
"This..." Meng Tian looked embarrassed. There was indeed no general in the army who was good at blitzkrieg. Although he, Meng Tian, was competent, if he left, who would take over the army?
If it was a few years ago, when Ying Zheng was still healthy, he could have safely handed over the army to him. But now, if Ying Zheng made a mistake on the battlefield, Zhao Gao and Li Si in the court would definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss.
"I'll go." Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Meng Tian looked up and saw a young man in a white shirt. He had a handsome face and seemed weak, but he spoke such powerful words.
"How can a military operation be treated as a joke?" Meng Tian was a little angry. This was a war. Did this pretty boy really think of himself as a key figure and wanted to get involved in everything?
Zhang Liang did not argue with him, but just looked at Ying Zheng. The decision of whether to let him go was in Ying Zheng's hands.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let Ziliang go."
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Meng Tian was anxious. Was Ying Zheng so obsessed with power that he lost his mind? He didn't even know what he was doing?
"I know exactly what I am doing, General, there is no need to say more." Ying Zheng said in a firm tone.
Meng Tian could only leave in anger. When he passed by Zhang Liang, he said coldly, "Others have been preparing for half a year, but I think you only have ten days to get to that desolate grave."
It seems that this General Meng Tian has a prejudice against him. Zhang Liang sighed helplessly, but he had no choice, because he was in this position now. If he stood here as a counselor, Meng Tian's attitude might be completely different.
"Don't mind what General Meng said just now." Ying Zheng walked up to Zhang Liang and patted him on the shoulder.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to the matter of the desolate tombs?" Zhang Liang asked.
"You are different from them." Ying Zheng said, sitting down and pouring himself a glass of water.
"Why do you think so?" Zhang Liang asked jokingly, "Is it because they took half a year to prepare, but I only needed ten days?"
Ying Zheng did not answer immediately. Instead, he finished drinking the water, looked at the empty cup, and said slowly: "No——"
"Do you know?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Liang with deep eyes and a low voice, "You don't know Zhao Gao..."
He didn't know Zhao Gao? Zhang Liang was confused for a moment, but then he suddenly understood the meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
It turned out that most of those people were probably spies planted by Zhao Gao. Ying Zheng knew it very well, but he didn't point it out. He just found a random crime and sentenced them to death, and threw them in the mass grave in the north of the city. This kind of thing happened more and more, so people in the martial arts world were naturally afraid and dared not come again.
After all, life is more important than wealth and glory.
"Ziliang, I believe in you," Ying Zheng poured a glass of wine for Zhang Liang, "I hope you won't let me down."
Zhang Liang took the wine glass and drank it all.
"Be sure to succeed and return safely."
Zhang Liang had not seen the sun for two days. He had been kept in the tent by Meng Tian, who was explaining how to command a blitzkrieg. Zhang Liang understood everything Meng Tian said, but he could not say that he understood everything, otherwise it would seem that he had ulterior motives in getting close to Ying Zheng.
Zhang Liang would never do such a stupid thing as exposing himself.
Seeing that Ying Zheng had made up his mind, Meng Tian taught Zhang Liang tactics for two consecutive days. Even if it was like cramming, he wanted to train him to be a military strategist.
Although Ying Zheng may have been confused, he was clear-headed. He did not want the army that had followed him through thick and thin to be destroyed by Zhang Liang, so to be on the safe side, he also sent his deputy general Wang Xin to go with him.
Zhang Liang yawned and listened intermittently. Not only had he not seen the sun for two days, but his sleep time in these two days combined was less than four hours.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was in low spirits, Meng Tian stopped explaining.
"Have a good rest tonight, and prepare to set off tomorrow night." Meng Tian said seriously, "If you don't know what to do, leave everything to my deputy general Wang Xin."
"Yes, General Meng." Zhang Liang just wanted to sleep at this moment.
"Remember, Zhang Ziliang," Meng Tian said finally, "if you fail and fail to lead the army back safely, I will deal with you first without waiting for Your Majesty."
Zhang Liang paused and replied, "Don't worry, General Meng, I will return victorious."
"I hope your record is as good as your words."
Later, Zhang Liang almost wiped out all the enemy forces in one battle, and there was almost no need for Meng Tian to lead a large army to support him. Meng Tian patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and praised himself for his good teaching in those two days.
After a good night's sleep, Zhang Liang woke up the next day and finally saw the long-lost sunshine. He stretched comfortably, but was slapped straight by Meng Tian who came over.
"Come with me, I will take you to see my deputy general Wang Xin." Meng Tian said to Zhang Liang and walked straight away without waiting for his response.
Zhang Liang followed. He understood Meng Tian. As a general, he had to be responsible for the army. He could not leave the life and death of the army and the future of the metropolis to someone who knew nothing.
But after tonight, Zhang Liang will give Meng Tian a big surprise.
Meng Tian brought Zhang Liang to meet Wang Xin, who, like Meng Tian, was a sturdy man and also looked down on Zhang Liang. If Ying Zheng had not strongly recommended Zhang Liang, Wang Xin would not even look at him.
Zhang Liang would not seek trouble for himself, as his strength would prove everything for him.
"I'll give you a thousand men..." Meng Tian said to Zhang Liang.
"No need," Zhang Liang interrupted Meng Tian, "a hundred men are enough."
"You are so arrogant, kid," Meng Tian laughed. "Well, a hundred men is enough. If you can return victorious, I, Meng Tian, will recognize you as my brother."
"Boss Meng, you are too kind. I am not qualified to be your elder brother." Zhang Liang said with a smile, "I will only lead a hundred people, but please do not join my team, Captain Wang Xin."
If Wang Xin went with him, Zhang Liang's action plan would be severely restricted.
"No," Wang Xin immediately retorted. He felt that without him, Zhang Liang would be in great danger.
Meng Tian pondered for a moment and proposed a solution: "Captain Wang, you lead the other 900 people to follow behind. If there is an emergency, send a signal and you will immediately reinforce."
Zhang Liang knew that Meng Tian would not let him act alone, even with only 100 men, so he agreed.
As the night deepened, Zhang Liang set off with a hundred men. Soon, Wang Xin also set off with nine hundred soldiers.
Zhang Liang alone is enough to defeat thousands of troops. A surprise attack with more people will make the target more obvious, and a hundred people will be more flexible.
Zhang Liang led his team to march quickly and quickly left Wang Xin's team behind. He could already see the lights of the Xiongnu camp, and found a hilltop from which he could overlook the entire camp. Zhang Liang began to plan his next move.
He plans to use the improved Red Lotus Demon Fire on a large scale.
The improved Red Lotus Devil Fire has group aggression and requires a medium, which needs to be arranged manually. These one hundred people are here to arrange the medium.
