Chapter 194: The Art of War
Hearing Yun Feixue's question, An Xin hurriedly said, "I don't know the specifics, but I heard General Lu say that he was not injured in the battle, but was secretly attacked by the enemy's moles in our military camp, about half a month ago." ”
Yun Feixue looked at Anxin in shock, and then looked at the unconscious Ling Aotian, he really didn't expect that Ling Aotian was not injured on the battlefield, but was poisoned by a spy in his own military camp.
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"I was caught, but I couldn't ask anything at all, and it is said that this person had a very hard tooth and mouth, and finally corrected the Fa on the spot. ”
Hearing this, Yun Feixue sighed softly, he looked at the god who was looking forward to it again, and finally couldn't help but say, "Madam, you...... It's best to be prepared. ”
Yun Feixue's words were like a thunderbolt on the top of Anxin's head, and she carried a glimmer of hope in her despair, "You...... Didn't you say there was a way to save him, but he ......"
Anxin was already incoherent, thinking that Yun Feixue brought hope, but this sentence pulled her into the abyss again.
Seeing the reassuring appearance, Yun Feixue said helplessly, "If it was five days ago, General Ling would still be saved, but after such a long time, the toxin has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and viscera, and it will be difficult to save him when the Da Luo Immortal comes, and now what I can do is to maintain the general's current state with some medicine, the general's life and death...... We're left to fate......"
"No...... No, you must have a way, you must have a way, don't you, speaking of which, you still have to call him uncle, he should have tried his best to investigate if your father had an accident, but he is at the border, and there are no clues, but you know, your father and he are good brothers......"
The sound of peace and sorrow spread from the big tent to the outside of the big tent, and anyone who heard this desperate voice would be heartbroken.
But some things are destined to be impossible to change, and the only thing we can do may be to accept it, because the law of survival in this world is like this, birth, old age, sickness, death, the weak and the strong, no one can escape this law of heaven, and Ling Aotian is just a few days in advance.
"Madam, calm down, at least I can keep the general in this state for a few months......"
"No, I want him to come back to life, I want him to come back to life, he has fought for the empire all his life, it shouldn't be this result, it shouldn't be ......"
Anxin cried bitterly, how could she still listen to Yun Feixue's words at this moment, the word peace of mind has accompanied her all her life, but how can she be at ease now?
"Hey......"
Sighing softly, Yun Feixue shook her head helplessly, he stretched out his right hand and pointed at Anxin's neck, and she was close to collapse and instantly fell unconscious.
"Come on, take Mrs. Ling away and let her rest well. ”
Yun Feixue gave an order, and the two soldiers outside the door hurriedly walked in and walked out of the tent with peace of mind.
Looking at her haggard and weak back, Yun Feixue sighed again, "Mrs. Ling, you are a good wife, of course General Ling will not be this kind of result, for the sake of the overall situation, you can only make you suffer temporarily." ”
As the words fell, Yun Feixue slapped Ling Aotian's chest with one palm again, and the entire tent fell silent.
But the night of the entire Ling clan camp was destined to be unpeaceful, and under Yun Feixue's compulsory order, Hong Yan took over the control of the 200,000 army.
Although at least half of the soldiers disobeyed, the military law was ruthless, not to mention that this was a holy decision, who dared to disobey it easily.
It's just that seeing this guy in his twenties pretending to be old, the soldiers in the big tent couldn't help but get angry.
In front of Hong Yan and Su Yu was a three-dimensional topographic map of the entire west, including the Ten Thousand Bones Abyss, at this moment, Hong Yan was carefully observing this fine map and fell into thought, and Su Yu was also thinking.
In front of them were five generals, including Qiao Cong and Xu Guang, who were in charge of most of the resources in the Ling clan's military camp.
Hong Yan's eyes were fixed on several places on the map for a long time and did not leave, and after a long time, he suddenly looked up at these five people and said, "That is to say, the million army of the Xuancang Empire is divided into three routes, Wancong Mountain in the north is garrisoned by the famous general Jiang Yu, the Lingjiao River in the east is guarded by Ma Yiwu, and the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts in the south is led by Feng Renxiao. ”
Xu Guang nodded, "That's right, but the strange thing is that the armies divided into three directions are all stationed in these three places, and they have neither the intention of attacking nor retreating, so far we can't know what exactly they are planning." ”
Hong Yan nodded, they didn't know the reason for this, but Hong Yan knew very well, the three places he just said happened to surround the ancient battlefield.
These three names are also the famous generals of the Xuancang Empire, but compared to the Hidden Dragon Empire, these three people are even more thunderous, because Ma Yiwu and Feng Renxiao among them have already stepped into the secret realm of the Spirit Sea.
Of course, there are far more masters of the Xuancang Empire than the three of them, but the most tricky one is the military Zhong Ming of the Zhenguo who is famous in the Quartet Empire.
Legend has it that he was a man who was good at observing the heavens and fighting with the power of nature, and it is said that he once repelled hundreds of thousands of enemy troops with an army of 10,000 people, relying on the unpredictable weather to catch the enemy by surprise.
Although they are all just rumors, it is enough to show that Zhong Ming is a powerful person, Hong Yan has specifically inquired about this person, at that time he was just a little hairy child, and he couldn't imagine what it was like to fight with this kind of god-like military advisor, but now his opponent is Zhong Ming himself, and Hong Yan seems to have a fire burning in his body.
Su Yu was also no less excited than him, Yun Feixue provided him with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could he easily miss it, this was a great time for him to show his talents, and it was also the time to confirm the Dao of Xuan Bing.
"Does Elder Su have a way to deal with it now?" asked Hong Yan.
"The countermeasures will still need to be considered for a long time, but the fact that the million-strong army has been divided into three parts is good news for us in despair!" Su Yu stared at the map with a burning gaze and scanned back and forth.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Hong Yan continued.
"Each of these three places is far apart on the map, and if we concentrate our forces against any of them, it will be difficult for the other two sides to come back quickly. ”
Hearing this, Hong Yan's eyes lit up, "It makes sense, although the Xuancang Empire is huge, if they are still only stationed in place, in fact, every time we face the enemy, we are only facing a third of the troops. ”
Hearing the conversation between Hong Yan and Su Yu, Xu Guang suddenly couldn't sit still, he hurriedly said, "Two, that's what I said, but that's also 300,000 troops, and now our entire military camp is only 200,000 soldiers, plus we have lost a lot in the previous battles, and in fact, only 150,000 people can participate in the battle, only half of the enemy's strength, which is still very risky." ”
"Didn't I tell you, the 300,000 army led by the three princes is already on the way. Hong Yan said lightly.
Hearing this, the faces of these five generals looked a lot better, although they were still not as good as the million army of the Xuancang Empire, but at least their arrival had relieved most of the pressure.
Su Yu didn't seem to hear their conversation, his eyes were still roaming back and forth on the map, and after a while, he suddenly said, "But...... It's not like this kind of battle can't be fought with less. ”
"Oh, you already have a solution?" Hong Yan said.
"There is a saying in the art of war, when the enemy fights, it is not based on the number of people, it is better to attack his people than to attack his heart. Su Yu talked eloquently, Hong Yan didn't understand the meaning, he had never been exposed to the etiquette of knowing books since he was a child, and his learning was basically to lead soldiers to fight, so this tongue-twisting words made him difficult to understand.
"How do you explain that?"
That is to say, against the enemy, the advantage in numbers is sometimes not an advantage, but just a battle in weapons is really the next strategy, it is better to first confuse the morale of the army, or shake the enemy's fundamentals, and perhaps take the enemy's head without spending a single soldier. Su Yu patiently explained.
"In your opinion, how can we mess with the other party's army?" Hong Yan continued to ask.
"The battle of the art of war, you must not be in a hurry, this method of fighting takes a certain amount of time to take effect, besides...... If this method is known to the enemy, it will have no corresponding effect......"
After speaking, Su Yu's gaze swept towards Xu Guang and Qiao from them, and these five people were inexplicably looked at by Su Yu.
Qiao Cong was annoyed and angry by this gaze, "What do you think we are doing, is it difficult for us or the enemy?"
Su Yu smiled slightly, "Maybe it's going to be a confrontation between the two sides, who wouldn't put a few eyeliner spies around the place?"
"Bastard, a bunch of nonsense, I think you are charlatans, how could the emperor let a liar like you take over the army, it's ridiculous, please forgive General Ben for not accompanying you. ”
The big man in armor scolded angrily, and after speaking, he rushed out of the big tent angrily, followed by several other people who also walked out of the big tent, only Xu Guang and Qiao Cong stayed in the tent.
"I now think that you are like the enemy who has specially sent you to disturb the hearts of our troops. Joe said coldly.
"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I have the order to transfer troops now, and with your attitude just now, I have the right to lock you all up. Hong Yan said lightly.
"You ......"
"Alright, General Hong, we will retire first, if there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to command. ”
After Xu Guang finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the big tent directly, and the last person, Qiao Cong, also left, and only Hong Yan and Su Yu were left in the entire tent.
"It's up to us to do this, and they won't be convinced by a few words. Su Yu said.
"That's what I mean, it's just ...... The army of the three princes has not arrived for a long time, and it is not realistic to rely on only more than a thousand people in our hands. Hong Yan sighed and said.
Su Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Perhaps, this matter has to be handled by Gongzi, and it may be more deterrent for him to talk to these generals than us." ”
