After a short silence, Ah Snake blurted out: "Master", realizing that the word "Master" was not appropriate, and immediately changed his words: "Lord." ”

Wu Yunzhao smiled faintly, raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat from Ah Snake's forehead, and said softly: "From today onwards, Zhengda Guangming will call Master." You are a Jianghu person. ”

Ah Snake's eyes lit up, his heart was happy, he stood up, and arched his hand: "Yes, Master." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Sit, take a sip of tea slowly." After Ah Snake's expression returned to normal, he continued: "Our battle to cross the river began from the moment of winter. I think you should know what I arranged when the wind chill broke out. ”

Snake nodded.

In the early winter of last year, when the wind and cold hit, Wu Yunzhao had ordered two things, the first thing was to cast Fang Ding, and wrote "The Mandate of Heaven is returned, and the Wu family should be prosperous", and released the news, whoever hinders Wu Yunzhao from becoming the emperor will continue to suffer disasters and prolong his descendants; The second thing, like today's plot, was waiting for an opportunity to drug the other party, adding fuel to the fire, causing a lot of panic, and the theory of destiny spread widely.

Wu Yunzhao asked again: "What did the several groups of deserters intercepted a few years ago say, presumably, you have also heard it." ”

Ah Snake knew that Wu Yunzhao was going to ask about the content related to this Mandate of Heaven, and replied: "I heard that dozens of people are convinced that there is no doubt about this theory, and the purpose of defecting is that they can't bear the management of the military camp on the surface, but they are actually here to defect. It's just that the master doesn't look down on them and doesn't get into the camp. ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Yes, it is bold to dare to escape, and among the cowardly, how many people believe in your master, me, the destiny of heaven?" ”

Ah Snake thought for a while and said, "Not a few. Even if you don't believe it, most of them will mumble in their hearts and wait and see. "Speaking of which

, Ah Snake's heart moved, and he explained Wu Yunzhao's arrangement, and said: "Master, you want to completely break the enemy's mental defense line by poisoning the war book, and ask them to believe in the Mandate of Heaven thoroughly, and they dare not go against us." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Exactly." Standing up, with his hands behind his back, he paced around the table and said, "The game on the battlefield depends not only on iron fists, but also on soft knives. A soft knife that can be pierced into the heart will shake the hearts of the enemy soldiers little by little, collapse their faith, and demoralize them. If you want to win the battle, you must have the mentality of winning. The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, I consume their spirit little by little, and wait until the moment of real knife fighting, their spirit is gone, their hands will be soft, and there will be fewer and fewer loyal people who fight hard, our chances of victory will be greater, and the soldiers will lose the least. ”

Ah Snake groaned, nodded slowly, and said: "Yes, the day before the war, the commander and the general suddenly fell ill, whether they want to die or not, they will only make the people below believe that it is the heavens who have sent down the punishment, and it is a warning to them to resist stubbornly." Master, you have arranged it right, this is the last straw that crushed their faith. ”

Wu Yunzhao walked behind Ah Snake, passed his hands under Ah Snake's neck, touched his head, and said slowly: "The way to use soldiers, attack the heart first, and attack the city first; Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. Soldiers without blood and soldiers without fighting are the best policy, and such a battle is a great victory. ”

Ah Snake raised his head and smiled at Wu Yunzhao: "Only in this way will the least number of people die." ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded, pulled out his hand, rubbed the top of Ah Snake's head, and said, "When we cross the river, secretly sprinkle the antidote, and let them know it, who else doesn't recognize your master and me?" Jiangnan's army can be fully pocketed, and there is no need to worry about someone rebelling, because no one will oppose the Mandate of Heaven. ”

The master and apprentice smiled knowingly.

Gu Qianshan retreated silently and leaned against Dahua.

Wu Yunzhao said: "This arrangement is a secret between the three of us, and we are not allowed to reveal it to anyone. ”

Gu Qianshan nodded.

But Snake asked, "Don't you tell them either?" ”

Wu Yunzhao shook his head and said, "Before I ascend the throne, I am not allowed to reveal it to anyone. I have to make sure that my people are successful, and I am also convinced that I am destined to belong,"

Ah Snake nodded and said, "Master, I understand." ”

Wu Yunzhao gave the prepared medicinal powder to Ah Snake and asked him to go back and prepare.

This medicine is Wu Yunzhao relying on the system and configures it himself, and he is the only one here, and no second person will recognize it. As long as the snake is in order, this medicine will definitely play its due role.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Baoyuan reported that after observing the sky at night, he learned that five days later, that is, on April 20, the weather was very good, the sun was shining, and there was no wind on the river, which was suitable for crossing the river and for combat.

At dawn on 19 April, Gu Qianshan and Ah Snake set off and were expected to arrive on the other side at noon.

After sending the two away, Wu Yunzhao, Ye Guangwen and others carried out the final inventory of the equipment.

In the afternoon, the counting began.

Xu Baoyuan took his long beard, wore a Taoist robe, held the dust in his hand, flew up to the earth platform flutteringly, prayed to the sky, and after a burst of chanting and jumping, he shouted: "The destiny of heaven returns, the Wu family is prosperous, the teacher of justice, and the heavens bless." After that, he lit three incense sticks, held high the jade seal of the country, and invited Wu Yunzhao to come to power and receive the mandate of heaven. Phantom Moon Academy
