After Baoyun left, Wei Yuan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how she knew about the conversation between the traitor and the Wu clan last night. Could it be that she was hiding nearby at the time?
Wei Yuan thought about it carefully and felt that it was impossible. Although Baoyun's hiding ability was strong, it was far from being integrated with the world. Wei Yuan carefully searched the surroundings at that time. With the blessing of Wushuang Dao Domain, unless he arrived
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to hide Su Xuejing's level of perversion from Wei Yuan's eyes and ears.
After thinking for a long time, Wei Yuan had no clue and knew that Baoyun would definitely not say anything, so he could only give up.
In Wei Yuan's current plan, in terms of importance, this traitor ranks quite low.
I bought three million kilograms of thunder sand from the Ancestral Tribe and purchased spiritual wood from the surrounding areas. Therefore, the formula of the new gunpowder will not be a secret sooner or later. The real secret is the proportion of the formula. Access to the workshop where the gunpowder is prepared is also strictly restricted.
Yes, she can't get in under normal circumstances. It's not that easy to cheat the formula proportions.
The key to the current war with the Witch Clan is not just one or two traitors, but to either cripple the Kingdom of Rain on the battlefield until it has to stop; or to kill or at least severely injure Hongye; or to keep killing them.
Other ghost witches made them completely frightened.
Now that she knows the identity of the traitor, she can no longer cause any trouble. Wei Yuan can make a little arrangement so that she can get nothing. As for how to deal with it, Wei Yuan thinks it is better to deal with Zhang Sheng and Patriarch Xuan Yue first.
It’s better to say something.
Wei Yuan looked at the schedule and rushed to Yu Zhizhuo's place. According to the schedule of human fireworks, Wei Yuan and Yu Zhizhuo were now going to discuss the production of city defense artillery. The discussion was expected to take thirteen minutes.
Next, Wei Yuan had to rush to Sun Yu in two minutes. First, he would check on the treatment and recovery of the wounded soldiers; second, he would discuss the training plan for the Xianxi Water Daoji monks and ask Sun Yu how many more people he needed; third, he would look at
Look at Sun Yu's own recovery from injury. The three trips totaled thirteen minutes.
It takes another minute to get to Xu Henshui's place. There are four items on the schedule...
For the next two hours, Wei Yuan flew around the entire realm. When he landed at one place, he would land and buzz for a while, and then rush to the next place.
After flying around for several times, I finally finished all the matters at noon.
Among many things, the most important thing in the near future is the city defense cannon. As the weapon with the second largest number of kills and injuries to the Wu clan, Yu Zhizhuo believes that it will be difficult to fundamentally improve it in the short term, and the accuracy will drop significantly after the range approaches ten miles.
If you want to improve the range and accuracy, you need to completely improve the barrel casting process. If you only need a few dozen, they can be hand-made bit by bit by skilled Daoji monks, and finally modified by Yu Zhizhuo. But it needs to be
Large-scale manufacturing means a complete upgrade of the manufacturing process, which cannot be accomplished in a short time.
Therefore, Yu Zhizhuo's plan is to add anti-arrow steel plates to the existing foundation to block the wizard sharpshooters. Once a great wizard-level shooter is found, it will be impossible to hit it with a cannon. The best way is to call in missiles.
Even if one missile falls, the wizard will be seriously injured. Two more missiles will kill him.
The number of great wizard-level marksmen is rare, and if one dies, one will be lost. After Qing Ming obtained the new thunder sand, the cost of gunpowder dropped significantly, and the corresponding missile prices were also discounted in half. Exchanging three missiles for one great wizard is a big profit. So.
This plan was approved by Wei Yuan.
Another long-term major issue is those who were disabled in the war. There are now more than 50,000 of these people. These people can only be dealt with first and later. The elixir for regenerating broken limbs is too expensive.
Daoji monks from powerful families can't afford it, let alone use it on mortals.
In the afternoon, Wei Yuan's plan was to continue to inspect several military camps where refugees were being reorganized. Marquis Ping'an kept his word, and 250,000 refugees had been sent, and the remaining 40,000 were on the way and would arrive in the next two days.
Cui Shutong seemed to feel threatened, fearing that Wei Yuan would no longer buy the refugees, so he also accelerated the movement of sending people away. Now there are 200,000 Zhao State refugees being trained and reorganized in several camps, and there are still 100,000 refugees who have no place to go.
.Wei Yuan urgently opened four more camps, which was barely enough.
But as soon as Wei Yuan left the house, he saw an additional scribe in the courtyard. He said with a cold face: "Master Wei, it's really not easy to see you now!"
The person who came was none other than Cai Shizhi. In the previous battle, when he used his body to lure the ghost witch into the game, he also suffered a hidden injury. When the last battle came, Wei Yuan did not let him fight. Firstly, he had not recovered from the secret injury, and secondly, he had lured the ghost witch into the battle before.
When the witch died, Wei Yuan was afraid of the witch clan's revenge, so he took advantage of the chaos to kill Cai Shizhi.
The real role of Mr. Cai is not on the battlefield. His teachings have the power of enlightenment when teaching students, which can significantly improve students' understanding and greatly increase their learning progress.
People can be judged by the appearance of the law. Cai Shizhi really wanted to spread his talents all over the world, so Wei Yuan always respected him.
But at this time Cai Shizhi came in anger. Wei Yuan didn't know why, so he hurriedly said: "The war has just ended, and there are many things to deal with. Ding'an City has been destroyed, and the defense line must be reorganized. Otherwise, the Wu clan will break through the defense line from there next time."
I can drive straight in."
Cai Shizhi snorted and said coldly: "Although Cai has some experience in military affairs, the leader of the Wei Realm is really a master of military affairs, so Cai will not do anything. But Cai wants to ask the Realm Leader, there are nine camps in total.
Who are the 300,000 new recruits who are being trained? What are the identities of those who died in the previous battles? Where are the first 100,000 Zhao State refugees who came to Qingming now?"
Wei Yuan frowned slightly. Many generals had already seen these things. Although they only saw a corner of it and did not see the whole picture, they could roughly guess something. Everyone chose to remain silent. Only Cai Shizhi stood.
come out.
Facing Cai Shizhi's question, Wei Yuan said: "Since Mr. Cai has asked this question, he already knows the answer, so why ask again?"
Cai Shizhi said: "Then let me ask the realm master again. If you don't do this, won't the realm be able to be defended?"
"That's right, I can't defend it." Wei Yuan said calmly.
"But Qingming still has 150,000 elite soldiers, and 30,000 heavily armored men who can be called the best in the world! In the three battles, these two troops were almost unscathed! As long as they are here, why should innocent people die on the front line?
?”
Wei Yuan sighed: "Mr. Cai, the 150,000 elite soldiers you mentioned are actually only 100,000, and the 50,000 will be replaced later. Twenty thousand died in the battle just now, and now only 5,000 can be replaced. These two
This force must be placed at the back. Even if they do not appear in the entire battle, as long as they are still there, the battle situation will not collapse.
Ding'an City was destroyed yesterday. If Long Xiang's army hadn't blocked the gap immediately, the Wu Clan would have penetrated our defense line long ago. If we don't have elites at this time, no matter how many mortal troops we throw in, we won't be able to stop the Wu Clan!
"
Cai Shizhi said coldly: "I don't care about military matters. But now you clearly have heavy armored elites in your hands, and tigers and wolves don't use them, but you want mortals who have no power to tie chickens to go to the front line and die! You are looking down on human life.
, this is massacre! It’s unreasonable, and it’s even more unjustifiable! What’s the difference between you doing this and the witch tribe who sacrificed people to heaven? What’s the difference between you and those stupid tyrants in history?”
Wei Yuan also had no choice but to slow down and said: "Mr. Cai, there are instant sentient beings in Qingming. Those mortals can transform into cast bodies in an instant, and they are not destined to die..."
"Then let me ask you, before you sent them to the battlefield, did you say how many of them would come back alive? How many of those mortals you sent to the front line came back alive? You are just lying to them to die!"
Wei Yuan frowned slightly and raised his voice a little: "Sir, since you are so righteous, let me ask you, sir, what are your ideas that can stop the three million Wu Clan army?"
Cai Shizhi said loudly: "A man in armor will die in hundreds of battles and return with his body wrapped in horse leather. This is how it should be! Therefore, we should use elite divisions and well-trained troops to attack the Wu clan head-on. At worst, we will sacrifice our lives for righteousness, and our reputation will be passed down through the ages.
Be admired by future generations! This is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness!
Defend the Realm Lord, it’s not too late to rein in the situation! If the Realm Lord is willing to change his past, then Cai is not talented, he is willing to be a vanguard and fight to the death with the Wu Clan!”
Wei Yuan raised his voice a little more and said: "If I put the elite in front, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the next battle! Even if I can survive the fourth battle, if all the elite are lost in the fifth battle, defeat will be inevitable!
These mortals can only stick to one place. As long as they move, they will become a mess and become the target of the Witch Clan's slaughter.
According to Sir's law, Qingming will perish! Is the great justice that Sir says is more important than the lives of these millions of residents?"
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Unexpectedly, Cai Shizhi said loudly: "Righteousness is the most important thing. Let alone millions of lives, it can be compared with tens of millions or hundreds of millions! The way of a saint lies in sincerity, benevolence, and righteousness. Even if Qing Ming loses his life for a moment,
, But our righteous name will be passed down through the ages, and the words of the saint will last for eternity. This is the merit of eternity! How can the gains and losses of one time and one place be compared?"
Wei Yuan said coldly: "Sir's so-called benevolence and righteousness are too heavy, I can't afford it. No matter what method I use, I will keep Qing Ming and fight back the Wu clan. As long as I can defeat the Wu clan, even if I have to use
If a child rushes forward with a cannonball in his arms, I will do the same."
Cai Shizhi was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He pointed at Wei Yuan and cursed: "You are an unkind and unjust person, no, you are simply crazy! So what if you win by luck? With such dirty methods, even if you win, you will not be able to win."
It will be infamed for thousands of years! How unfortunate and innocent the people are, falling into your hands!"
"Mr. Cai is tired, go back and rest."
Cai Shizhi's face turned livid and he said angrily: "You evil people, Cai is really blind to associate with you! I will pack my bags and leave right now. If you want to kill me, just do it!"
Wei Yuan sighed: "In your mind, Sir, for the sake of so-called righteousness, it doesn't matter if the realm is destroyed? With my method, there is at least a chance of victory. At least hundreds of thousands or even a million people can survive."
Cai Shizhi said solemnly: "I don't object to you driving the people to the battlefield. But you can't let them go to the battlefield without knowing anything. At least you have to let them know the cause and effect. Only after they agree can you drive them. This is the will of the people!
Just like water, water can carry a boat or capsize it. If you act in the opposite direction, you will end up like those tyrannical kings in history!"
Having said this, Wei Yuan said: "We don't agree with each other. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."
Cai Shizhi said coldly: "I'm not just leaving. After I leave, I will definitely write an article to tell the world about your unkind and unjust deeds! It's still too late for you to kill me now."
Wei Yuan sighed: "Sir, you have made great contributions to Qingming. Even if you have different opinions, how can there be any harm? Sir, you can leave if you want, but just leave on your own. Don't do anything to shake the morale of the army, otherwise it will not look good on everyone.
.”
Cai Shizhi was silent for a moment, then said: "Farewell."
Watching his figure go away, Wei Yuan suddenly remembered a question asked by Xianjun when he met Tinghai Xianjun that day.
The great meaning of the question is that the flying boat is about to capsize and half of the people must be thrown off. Who deserves to die and who deserves to live?
When he discovered that the Kingdom of Rain was attacking with all its strength, Wei Yuan finally understood that the important thing was not who should die and who should live, but to throw half of the people off the flying boat before it capsized.
And the person who made the decision was destined to be infamous.
Chapter completed!
