Chenxi refers to the geographical location; the terrain there is complex, and it is a necessary route.
If someone sets fire to it, they will surely die.
Shen Xi was extremely anxious, thinking, "The best Shen Qing hasn't arrived yet. Even if she has, don't rush to pass through."
Zhao Rong examined the map carefully and then realized the mystery of the place, wondering why he hadn't noticed it before.
The place the commander pointed out is indeed a strategic pass; if it is set on fire, how can anyone escape!
Shenxi ordered Zhao Rong to immediately send out two teams, each heading towards that location. If the enemy was lying in ambush, they were to surround and encircle them.
They quickly dispatched several hundred experts, all skilled in high-altitude maneuvers and land-based flight.
The origin of these masters was due to Leng Aofu's search. She stayed in the Qiaozhen area to find a martial arts master, and she actually found one, and they became a perfect couple.
After that, he made more friends with martial arts practitioners, and those who wanted to come to Shenxi were welcome.
Learn both literary and martial arts, and sell your goods to the emperor.
Some saw the value in Chenxi, some saw its future, some were drawn by its chivalrous spirit, and some simply admired it...
Regardless of the reason, once someone comes, they become a subordinate.
As long as they are truly doing what's best for her...
These martial arts practitioners obeyed the order and went there; the towering mountains and steep ridges could not stop their steps.
Shenxi was still somewhat worried, so he once again dispatched Zheng Ankang with over a hundred skilled fighters, along with two thousand elite soldiers from Xiyue Blade, to rush to the scene.
No matter what, we can't let anything happen to Shen Qing.
Such a large-scale mobilization could not have been kept secret from Qi Xiuwen and his subordinates.
When they came to ask, they found out that Shen Qing had led the vanguard.
Gu Beitian was dissatisfied with Chen Xi's autocratic behavior.
"Sir, you cannot act so arbitrarily, no matter what the matter is."
"It's not that I'm acting arbitrarily, but I've studied the terrain here for a long time. We could have used it to ambush the enemy instead, and now is the perfect time to do so."
Even if the vanguard team wasn't led by Shen Qing, Shen Xi still planned to set up an ambush and launch a counter-encirclement.
However, the vanguard team faces far greater danger.
Moreover, she already knew that Shen Qing was leading the vanguard, so she was even more anxious.
"We know that the leader has a meticulous plan, but he should have informed us in advance."
"I know, but the situation is urgent, and it's not too late to inform you now."
Shenxi knew that this was being unreasonable.
But what's wrong with being unreasonable once for the sake of my sister? Everyone has many choices in life. I'm not sad because the time for sadness hasn't come yet, and I'm not worried because I'm not the one who worries.
Things have come to this...
Gu Beitian, with a stern face, lectured Shen Xi on the ways of being a leader. Shen Xi nodded repeatedly, saying that she would definitely abide by it and that it would not happen again.
Well, as long as it doesn't involve the person I care about most, I definitely won't do it again next time.
Qi Xiuwen was sweating for Gu Beitian; those who dared to confront the leader had all gone underground.
Shenxi is not incapable of listening to opinions, but those who are stubborn are all intellectuals who are inflexible and can find a lot of reasons to slander and refute Shenxi no matter what he does.
Chen Xi showed no mercy whatsoever. It's all about how you use scholars. What's wrong with being a bit aloof if someone has talent and ambition to govern the world?
Chenxi never hesitates to take action against those who, relying on their knowledge, neglect practical matters, try to pontificate, talk nonsense, or even spread false information.
If we show leniency to a group of people today, tens of thousands of ordinary people may suffer disaster the day after tomorrow.
Scholars have always been known for their integrity, but they have also been known for their wickedness.
It depends on which one the superior chooses to use.
Gu Beitian was a man of integrity, which is why Chen Xi tolerated him.
"Beitian, you're absolutely right. I promise I won't do it again."
Gu Beitian spoke until his throat was dry, and nodded solemnly without any psychological burden.
"Alright, I humbly accept your answer. The troops have already moved, let's set off!"
Gu Beitian plucked out his newly grown beard. So all his talking was just a result of the leader overstepping his bounds again!
How could we take advantage of his lecturing to mobilize all the troops?
But by then he knew that opposing was futile, and besides, he didn't want to oppose.
What they cared about was that Shenxi hadn't discussed it with them.
"Beitian, don't be angry. This is the result after discussion. Besides, it's fortunate that the leader cares about people!"
Gu Beitian was taken aback.
That's well said. It's precisely because the leaders are flesh and blood that they are most likely to have a good ending.
The success of following the dragon's lead has always been a journey filled with both opportunities and risks.
Successful monarchs have various ways of dealing with meritorious officials.
There's the story of Emperor Zhao releasing his military power over a cup of wine, the story of the Liu dynasty where the cunning rabbit was killed and the hunting dog was cooked, the story of the dynasty dying after only two generations due to the tyranny of powerful ministers, and the story of Emperor Li's tolerance and magnanimity.
Those in positions of power, if they are cold-blooded and ruthless, may share hardships in times of difficulty, but will not share wealth and honor in times of prosperity.
Therefore, leaders are humane. As long as they do not commit evil deeds or rebel, even if they offend others with their words, they will not suffer a bad ending.
Gu Beitian immediately understood Qi Xiuwen's meaning, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "Xiuwen really sees things clearly."
"Treat your superiors with some leniency, and they won't act recklessly."
Qi Xiuwen was sweating bullets just now, not because he was worried that Gu Beitian would lose his head, but because he was worried that Shen Xi would exclude Gu Beitian from her close circle of friends.
In retrospect, he was also attached to appearances.
Even with such concern for his own sister, the fact that he still managed to get Gu Beitian to finish speaking and listen to a lot of nonsense shows the commander's extraordinary demeanor.
As the main force departed, a portion of the logistics personnel remained behind to be used to recruit laborers to continue road repairs.
At this moment, Shen Qing arrived at the Grand Canyon. Although the mountains here seemed high and dangerous, it was not a good place to ambush.
Shen Qing completed the terrain survey and then carefully examined the map, his brows furrowing in dismay.
Her current location was not a good place to set up an ambush, but Shen Qing sensed the danger and hurriedly ordered the army to withdraw.
But just as they had evacuated a third of the way, a huge fire broke out.
Then, standing firm outside the fire was Qi Lian, the local prefect.
Qi Lian frowned as he looked at the army below.
"Didn't you say that the main force of the enemy was here? It doesn't look like it to me."
General Tao Dewang also frowned; his subordinates shouldn't have made such a mistake!
"Hu Axiong, you were the one who said the main force was here!"
Hu Axiong gritted his teeth, "Ada, where the hell have you been?"
Hu Axiong's men ran over, "Boss, we don't know where Ada is. We can't find him anywhere."
Hu Axiong then realized that he had been deceived.
Upon hearing this, Qi Lian and Tao Dewang immediately understood what had happened; the seemingly confident news had turned out to be false.
Now they're facing a small enemy force, so why are they making such a big fuss?
Forget it, wiping out these people will be a great gain!
