After watching Liu Tingfeng leave, Mu Qianmei's brows stretched slightly, and she said softly:

"If our rescue is too late, I think we should familiarize ourselves with this Yunlong Mountain Range in advance and never meet them head-on."

"After exploring the terrain, if they block the way back, we will take them around in this Yunlong Mountain Range, and set up ambushes and traps to hit them when we have the opportunity, while slowly consuming them, while waiting for rescue, we will definitely not be able to fight them head-on on the grassland, what do you think?"

Tana and the military advisor glanced at each other, their eyes were full of appreciation, they had avoided the Kelie tribe for many years, and they basically dealt with it in this way, it was the accumulation of years of experience, but I didn't expect Mu Qianmei to think of it all at once.

Tana exclaimed:

"Fluttershy is a genius, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful and think of such a solution in a moment, and it is indeed the best way to do it."

"The key is that we must prepare food and water as soon as possible, if our reinforcements are blocked, we must be mentally prepared for a protracted war, not only to protect the treasure, but also to be ready to meet the enemy's attack at any time, the situation is very difficult!"

Under Liu Tingfeng's arrangement, someone had already rushed down the mountain in a hurry, Liu Tingfeng walked towards this side with brisk steps, Mu Qianmei said softly:

"We can plan this slowly, after Tingfeng comes, I'll see if he will see the current situation and come up with a way to deal with it."

Tana and the advisor tacitly agreed and didn't speak again.

After Liu Tingfeng walked over, there was a trace of irrepressible excitement on his face, as if he was deeply proud that he could solve the problem.

"Already arranged?"

Mu Qianmei asked.

"Yes, I have already asked someone to go down the mountain to inform Uncle Chao and ask him to do what we say."

Liu Tingfeng replied easily, as if the crisis had been resolved.

Mu Qianmei didn't say anything, just said softly:

"Then rest for a while, and start digging when the time comes!"

As he spoke, he meditated and practiced qigong by himself, and he didn't say anything else.

A few people sat in the shade of the tree to rest, Mu Qianmei, Liu Tingfeng and Tana were meditating and practicing, and the military advisor was sitting against the trunk of the tree at will.

Although Liu Tingfeng also meditated with his eyes closed, his heart couldn't calm down, there was a trace of excitement in his heart, and there was also a trace of inexplicable worry, as if there was still something missing from his thoughts, which made him a little uneasy.

Suddenly, it occurred to him what if the enemy had already attacked and the reinforcements had not arrived.

If the other side has more troops, how should this battle be fought?

Thinking of this, he couldn't calm down even more, but seeing that the three people around him were already resting, he didn't want to disturb them.

So I had to meditate and think about it alone.

If you can't beat it, you can only avoid the opponent's attack, just like a martial arts master's move, if you can't beat it, you have to fight hard is to bring humiliation on yourself, and you will definitely lose.

But how to avoid it?

He opened his eyes and looked at the troops down the hill, and then at the soldiers resting in the bushes in front of him, and thought hard.

If you encounter an enemy on the way back, you may be able to fight in the savannah.

In such an open place, it would be very difficult for the entire army to retreat, and in that case, it would be possible to annihilate the entire army.

If they meet in this Yunlong Mountain Range, they may also hide in the mountains, use the complex environment in the mountains to play hide and seek with the enemy, and maybe there is still a slight chance, just like the ambush outside Snow White City, you can win more with less.

But how long can you last in this mountain? One person, two people can also hunt, pick some wild fruits to satisfy hunger, and the food of 20,000 horses is not so easy to solve.

You can only hold on to it by preparing enough dry food and water in advance!

Liu Tingfeng thought about it while carefully looking at the surrounding environment and thinking hard about a good plan.

Unless, prepare in advance, go to the border areas of the Southern Tang Kingdom, which is a little closer to the surrounding area, buy a large amount of grain and store it, and be sure to insist on until reinforcements come to rescue.

……

Liu Tingfeng thought hard for a long time, and his thoughts were almost the same as what Mu Qianmei and they just said.

It wasn't until Mu Qianmei and the three of them opened their eyes that they saw that Liu Tingfeng had not rested, and they were still frowning and falling into deep thought.

Mu Qianmei was both relieved and distressed in his heart, it seemed that he also seemed to realize the danger of the situation, so he asked softly:

"Why hasn't Tingfeng rested? What are you thinking? ”

"I'm thinking, our situation still seems to be quite dangerous, if the enemy arrives first, but our reinforcements don't, how can we defuse this crisis?"

Liu Tingfeng said worriedly.

"yes, it's really dangerous to be in such a situation."

Mu Qianmei also echoed and said.

After being recognized, Liu Tingfeng said all the thoughts he had just thought.

Hearing this, Mu Qianmei couldn't help but frown, as if no matter how difficult it was, she wasn't so afraid.

Even Tana and the military advisor, who woke up one after another, nodded secretly, deeply surprised.

It seems that this young man with excellent swordsmanship is not only powerful in martial arts, but also very smart in his brain.

It's just that he rarely speaks, and he rarely thinks about these problems independently, so he didn't find it, but now that he thinks about it himself, he can even coincide with Mu Qianmei's thoughts, and he has thought of the best way to deal with it.

"Well, Tingfeng is right, you see, the soldiers have also woken up one after another, you can arrange for someone to go over, inform Uncle Chao to send someone to explore the terrain of the Yunlong Mountain Range in advance, and go to the nearby grassland tribe as soon as possible to purchase enough grain and grass, and make full preparations!"

Mu Qianmei said appreciatively.

So, Liu Tingfeng once again ordered the two soldiers to go down the mountain to pass the word.

Seeing that they had been arranged, Tana spoke:

"Now that this problem has been solved, let's hurry up and dig up the treasure as soon as possible!"

Only then did Liu Tingfeng begin to command the soldiers, and according to Mu Qianmei's prompts, they began to dig.

While digging for treasure here, Yun Zhonghe, who was stationed in the camp, also summoned his ministers to discuss a good way to deal with the current situation.

Although the simple tent is not as standardized as the palace hall, the etiquette of the monarch and the minister should be there, and the positions of all kinds of civil and military ministers are basically complete.

The whole process is also the same as in the early dynasty in the Jinluan Palace, after the ceremony of the monarch and the minister, the crane in the clouds sitting at the top of the body said in a deep voice:

"Today, we will temporarily convene everyone urgently, because we have just received the news that the Eastern Qin State sent the general Zhang Xiaoting to lead an army of 100,000 to the grassland, and the target is the 20,000 soldiers and horses we left in the grassland. By the way, Captain Zhuang, have all the soldiers and horses we just rushed back and the clansmen of the Qiyan tribe been arranged?

It's also very important not to make mistakes. ”

"Back to the emperor, everything has been arranged according to your will."

Zhuang Shujun replied respectfully.

"Then the secretaries will discuss how to carry out this rescue operation, right?"

The crane in the cloud said to the ministers.

For a while, everyone spoke one after another, expressing their opinions.

Some suggested that 100,000 troops should be sent to support the rescue immediately.

Some suggested that 100,000 soldiers and horses were too few, that the other side was a good general, and that most of our soldiers were still new recruits, so we should send 150,000 soldiers and horses.

Some simply suggested that they should not fight them head-on, but should mainly respond, and once they had joined up with the 20,000 horses, they would try to avoid the opponent's army, make a detour back, and then try to develop.

There are also suggestions that it is enough to catch up with the opponent's army, intercept it, and then meet the 20,000 horses after the victory.

……

There are different opinions, and basically they all say that they want to rescue the 20,000 horses.

Although the emperor did not explain the reason for the 20,000 horses stranded, most people also guessed, but they just didn't specify it.

Under the current situation, that legendary treasure can be said to play a vital role in the development of Yunyu Country.

In the end, Yun Zhonghe still looked at Zhuang Shujun and asked:

"What is Captain Zhuang's opinion on this?"

Zhuang Shujun pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that under the current situation, although the rescue is imperative, we can also take advantage of the emptiness of Snow City, take it down in one fell swoop, and now the number of people who support and join our team is increasing day by day, in this temporary camp, it has greatly hindered our development speed, if we take Snow City as a base again, and develop all the way to the east, we can realize the promise of crusading against Yun Tianxiao as soon as possible!"

"As for the rescue, we can send a message to the princess to let them avoid the enemy's frontal attack over there, delay it for a while, and wait for our side to settle down before going to support, it should be too late."

As soon as Zhuang Shujun's words fell, the ministers immediately had a surprised expression.

Many people's expressions showed that they did not agree with such a point of view, but they all looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, because everyone knew Zhuang Shujun's status in the emperor's mind, so they couldn't help but say it.

Yun Zhonghe was also surprised by such a suggestion, and he said slowly and in a deep voice:

"The so-called saving people is like fighting fire, although we can capture Snow City, but our 20,000 soldiers and horses are not very dangerous."

Zhuang Shujun replied cautiously:

"Back to the emperor, if we rescue directly, there is not much hope of success, firstly, our army is mainly recruited, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, and secondly, according to the news, Yun Tianxiao has also gathered 100,000 troops to cooperate with the attack, even if we can arrive, it will be difficult to resist their encirclement."

"At that time, there will be insufficient personnel left behind on our side, and we will definitely be attacked by the troops left behind in Snow City, and the front and rear will be in crisis, and it is likely to fall into a situation from which we will never recover."

"And if we take the initiative to attack, the initiative will be in our hands, and the reoccupation of Snow City will cause a certain shake to the enemy's military morale, and the people and forces who join us will inevitably increase.

After listening to Zhuang Shujun's methodical analysis, everyone fell into silent thinking.
