The sky was full of dark clouds, the sky was gray, and the earth was dark.

In the rain and fog, you can't see everything clearly, including the tall and broad-crowned peach trees on the top of Dushuo Mountain, and you can only vaguely see an outline under the rain and fog.

The heavier and heavier rain makes the dripping water under the canopy of the large peach tree more and more urgent.

The big water droplets that landed on the ground were all constantly beating and ejecting on the ground, bursting apart and scattering, like crystal pearls scattered on the ground.

Dongyingzhou is like this in the rainy season, sunny days and bright sunshine are luxuries.

In the hall, which was brightly lit by centipede beads, King Yama listened to the sound of the wind, rain, and dripping water outside the house, and gradually became relieved.

With the national teacher Yingying here, commanding the purification and treatment of the plague, King Yama was even more relieved. I also suddenly felt that my anxiety before was too redundant.

And the national teacher Yingying, who was sitting on the side, drank a few sips of hot tea and ate some pastries, and the fatigue on her face obviously subsided a little.

"King Yama, there is actually one more matter, I can only discuss it with you in detail. As the national teacher Ying Ying said this, she glanced at the lieutenant general beside King Yama.

At this time, there were only three of them in this hall, and the purpose of the national teacher Yingying's actions was very obvious, and she didn't want the deputy general of the king of Yama to be present next.

The king of Yama immediately understood, and said to the lieutenant general, "Go and see the training of the soldiers, don't let them be lazy." ”。

The lieutenant general was not verbose or curious, nodded in response, and walked briskly out of the lobby.

Before the lieutenant general left, the national teacher Yingying said to the king of Yama: "Great marshal, I have a secret order, the lord has an order, I will stay after the plague is over, and assist you to launch an attack on the enemy in the continent at the end of the rainy season." ”。

"Attack?" King Yama was stunned for a moment, staying in his chair, and couldn't react for a while.

Recently, he had not received such a military order, so he was stunned and a little surprised.

And at the end of the rainy season in Dongyingzhou, it is not that the rainy season has passed, but it will be rainy, and the roads around the country are all muddy, so the traffic is inconvenient. The transfer of supplies and the offensive will be hindered by this.

That's not a good idea.

"Yes, offense. Immediately afterwards, the national teacher Ying Ying lowered her voice and said to the king of Yama: "The lord has a plan for the west coast of Dongyingzhou, which is to attack from the sea at the end of the rainy season and seize all the towns and ports on the west coast of Dongyingzhou. Clean up the enemy army entrenched here and the Xudu army, which was abandoned by the Northern Yin Dynasty, the Xuandi army. ”。

After saying this, the national teacher Ying Ying stood up with a long stick, slowly walked to the wall on the side of the lobby, raised the long stick, and accurately traced the entire west coast of the map of Dongyingzhou hanging on the wall.

Don't look at the national teacher Yingying's blindness, but she sees the world by perception and heart, and she won't find the location of the map in the house because of this.

When the head of the cane in her hand gently swept across the entire west coast of Dongying Continent on the map, King Yama also stood up, walked to the side of the national teacher Yingying, and raised his eyes to look at the map.

The location of Dushuo Mountain is exactly in the central area of the west coast of Dongyingzhou, and to the north, it is still a place firmly controlled by the enemies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

King Yama, who looked at the map, pondered.

If you attack at sea, relying on the naval division to ensure transportation at sea and only attack the coastal areas, then the roads caused by the rainy season in Dongyingzhou, as well as the possible landslides and other disadvantages, do not exist.

Moreover, the powerful Nine Shadows Naval Division can also give attacking ghost troops and long-range artillery support at sea.

This is indeed a good strategy, and after the rainy season, there will be a period of time, and the roads will be muddy, and if the enemy wants to counterattack, he can only attack from the interior, and transportation and transshipment will definitely be blocked.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom can take advantage of this to completely and firmly control the coastal areas, and transshipment can also be carried out at sea. With the supply and transportation guaranteed, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will be able to hold the coast, and then attack inland, eating away at the enemy step by step.

"Bold plan, somewhat unexpected, but a good plan. Putting away the contemplative Yama King, he continued to stare at the map and said to the national teacher Yingying: "In this way, the ports and other strategic points in the coastal areas can be firmly controlled in the hands of our country. ”。

Along the coast, several ports and towns are strategically located, major transportation routes, and river estuaries.

Occupying these places, you can hold the rivers and coastal areas, and you can also lead to the depths of the inland, once these areas are firmly controlled by the Nine Shadow Kingdom, the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can be attacked, retreated, and defended in the western part of Dongyingzhou.

A howling yin wind blew in from outside the house, but the excited King Yama did not feel cold, but his blood boiled.

The rainy season has suffocated him. Staying on the mountain and looking at the rain curtain in the sky, the king of Yama could only look at the rain and sigh. Especially after the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom secretly spread the plague to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the anger in King Yama's chest doubled, and his patience decreased. If he hadn't been a little sensible and had to obey the military rules and discipline that were forbidden by the order, he would have wanted to go north or east.

Now that the order has finally arrived, although it will take a few more months, it is still possible to act, and King Yama is very excited.

He finally has a chance to vent his anger on the enemy, and more importantly, to end the war and bring peace and stability back to Dongyingzhou.

"Occupying ports and coastal areas can also cut off the Northern Yin Dynasty's covert support for Dongyingzhou. There is evidence and intelligence that the Northern Yin Dynasty followed the truce in the rainy season, and the enemy of our country rushed to the aid of thousands of ghost cannons in Dongyingzhou. National Teacher Yingying nodded heavily and said: "Once the west coast is occupied, we can block the coast, so that even if the Northern Yin Dynasty wants to secretly make trouble, it can only go through Fenglin Continent and Kunlun Continent for transshipment, and it is necessary to transfer materials from the east coast of Dongying Continent, and the journey will take twice as long as in the past." This is one of the purposes of the Lord's arrangement. ”。

"Yes, I have also received this kind of information, and it is said that most of the ghost cannons were arranged for the Qingqiu Fox Country. Saying this, King Yama looked angry in his eyes and looked towards the border of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom on the map: "Peace is getting shorter and shorter. ”。

"Yes. Yingying, the national teacher with a slight bow, then said: "The lord expected it, he thinks that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will not dare to turn against us for the time being before the end of the rainy season, so we should not move the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom first." ”。

The national teacher Ying Ying seemed to feel the anger of the king of Yama before she said this.

"But ......" Immediately afterward, she changed her words and said: "These ghost country forces that are secretly allied with the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom can be beaten severely. The lord hopes that after the end of the rainy season, the strength of the allies of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has been greatly weakened, making their alliance useless. In this way, even if the Qingqiu Fox Country wants to turn against us after the rainy season, it is impossible to have stronger strength. ”。

"However, for the sake of safety, the lord's order is to only mobilize the garrison near Dushuo Mountain to fight. Then, the national teacher Yingying added: "The garrisons in other areas will stay put, waiting for the order of the next plan." ”。

"In this way, even if the war is unfavorable, my country will not lose its foothold in Dongyingzhou. After a moment of silence, after saying these words thoughtfully, the king of Yama shouted with joy, "Wonderful!"

"So the marshal must be ready to transfer troops. The national teacher Yingying turned around and walked slowly towards the seat, and continued to say: "But in order not to leak the news of this operation, so that the enemy can be caught off guard when attacking, I can only tell you first, the commander must not leak it out in advance." ”。

After speaking, the national teacher Yingying had already sat back in the previous chair, put down the cane again, and picked up her tea cup.

"As long as the transfer of materials can be guaranteed. King Yama, who also followed, sat down beside the national teacher Yingying, patted his chest, and assured: "The enemy along the coast is not difficult to deal with. I have done a detailed investigation, and the Ghost Country Naval Division on the way north is not strong, the port defense batteries are backward, most of the giant artillery can't even turn, and the number of air cavalry is not large. It is not difficult to take these areas, as long as the supplies can be guaranteed. ”。

"You don't have to worry about this, the main guild will find a way to solve it, including the support of the sailors at sea, and he will try his best to meet your requirements. ”

The national teacher Yingying gave the king of Yama an affirmative answer.

"That's good. Without the slightest hesitation or doubt, King Yama said this.

Although he came here with sincerity, he knew Xiao Shizhu's ability, and this little thing, King Yama believed that Xiao Shizhu would definitely be able to do it.

He had no worries at all, and he was already thinking about the plan of the attack.

"Then I'll go rest first, and the marshal will draw up an attack plan as soon as possible. Everything has been explained clearly, the national teacher Yingying put down the teacup, stood up, picked up his long staff at hand, and said: "If what I said needs to be verified, you can send a letter to Yuque City to ask the lord directly, if there is a plan called West Coast." ”。

Once she was rested, she would continue to treat the plague and heal more infected soldiers.

King Yama didn't force him to stay, but just got up and watched the national teacher Yingying leave.

Before the national teacher left, he called his messenger and said, "Contact the lord and ask him if he has a plan for the West Coast." ”。

It's not that Yama ** is the national teacher Yingying, but for the sake of insurance, it must be verified, after all, the king of Yama has not received any orders in black and white......

Yuque City, Jue Xiang Yuan.

To the southeast, there is a strange pool.

To say that this pool is strange, it is just the appearance. The edge of the pool is surrounded by curved rocks, like fangs in the mouth of a wild beast.

These stones are large and small, high and low, and are not exactly the same size. But all over the body, it's all bright green. A faint blue light that can also shimmer softly in the dark.

It's been that way for thousands of years.

Before Xiao Shizhu set foot in this place, this pond water already existed.

For a long time, it was just a small pond to add a little embellishment to the palace garden. Now it's the same, Xiao Shizhu is just in it, raising some strange human-faced fish in the underworld.

These strange blue fish, with a human face on their heads, look strange and weird, but they are harmless to humans and animals, like some other small, non-carnivorous freshwater fish.

Xiao Shizhu, who was busy with the business at hand, took a dried steamed bun and walked to the pool.

In the water, those human-faced fish swim in the clear water, and the aquatic plants are carried up by their swimming, driving them to gently sway from side to side.

Xiao Shizhu broke off a piece of dried steamed bread and threw it into the water.

The dried steamed buns soaked in the water slowly split apart, and before they could completely collapse into flour, the human-faced fish in the water swarmed up, and several of them pouted in unison to divide the dried steamed buns.

"The King. At this time, the fungus man who followed Qinglan closely said to Xiao Shizhu, who was feeding the fish, "King Yama has sent a message, you need to verify, have you made a plan called the West Coast?"

The yin wind is slow, blowing through the Juexiang Garden, and the wind blows the grass and moves.

Xiao Shizhu broke off a small piece of dried steamed buns, threw them into the pool, and said, "Reply, yes." ”。

The fungus man nodded, concentrated, and passed back the words of Xiao Shizhu.

Xiao Shizhu, who paused, said to the fungus man again: "Tell King Yama to just prepare according to the plan." I'll send someone to him after the written order, don't worry, this will be an unauthorized use of troops. ”。

The fungus man, who had just finished transmitting the message, answered again, and sent the message again, spreading Xiao Shizhu's words word for word thousands of miles into the brains of the fungus people around King Yama.

When the fungus man was busy with his work, the ghost mother took Chen Ruo and walked towards Xiao Shizhu, and there was a small bamboo tube in her hand, which was only one finger long, and only one finger thick.

On the bamboo tube, a black silk cloth is tied, and in the middle of the silk cloth is the pattern of the other side of the Nine Hidden Kingdom.

This is a confidential transmission of the Xuanjiao, but it is not the original letter, but a copy of the transcription.

But they were all checked by Lin Cong, the leader of the Xuanjiao, and the content was exactly the same as the original.

However, it is a letter that can be burned immediately after reading.

"The transmission of the Xuanjiao. The ghost mother stood beside Xiao Shizhu, and replaced the dried steamed buns in Xiao Shizhu's hand with the bamboo tube in her hand.

Xiao Shizhu took the bamboo tube, saw that the sealing wax was missing, and the bamboo tube opened, presumably the ghost mother had already seen the contents.

Xiao Shizhu didn't care, took out the letter rolled up in it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

What is written on it is that the fleet of the Nine Shades Country has received the Qingqiu Fox King who has gone abroad, and is escorting the Qingqiu Fox King and the accompanying Qingqiu Fox Kingdom delegation towards the capital of the Nine Shades Kingdom.

Moreover, the elite Xuanjiao disciples have boarded the escorted fleet of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, in order to prevent the Qingqiu Fox King from writing, directing, and acting in the scene of being assassinated and murdered, to frame the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

This message from the Xuanjiao came from the message sent by the flag officer of the Xuanjiao squad who accompanied the ship.

After Xiao Shizhu read the letter, he rolled up the letter again and stuffed it into the bamboo tube, then held the bamboo tube in his hand, and suddenly clenched his fists.

Xuan Li flowed, and a transparent flame like glass suddenly burst out in his hand, and a red yellow light flashed at his fingertips, and the flame was extinguished.

When Xiao Shizhu unfolded his five fingers again, there was no bamboo tube in his hand, and there was no letter. Only a handful of charred ashes remained, lying quietly in Xiao Shizhu's palm, slowly emitting green smoke.

Xiao Shizhu tilted his palm, allowing the ashes to gradually slide down from his palm.

"What are you going to do?" the ghost mother looked at her husband curiously and said, "The fox king is coming, have you thought about what you want to behave?"

Yes, the Fox King is coming to confuse the Nine Shadows King, and Xiao Shizhu also intends to confuse him Qingqiu Fox King.

The image of shrewdness and competence can no longer be expressed.

Otherwise, the Qingqiu Fox Council would be more cautious in dealing with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Xiao Shizhu wanted the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to be careless, and wanted to make the Qingqiu Fox King despise him, it was best to despise him, and then give the Qingqiu Fox King a fatal blow on the battlefield to surprise the other party.

This requires that when meeting with the Qingqiu Fox King, show an appearance that is easy to be despised by the opponent.

And Xiao Shizhu seems to have already figured out how to perform this scene.

So, after the ghost mother finished speaking, he smiled, the corners of his mouth reappeared in the cunning that he had seen in the past, and then replied: "It's easy to do, in front of these fox ghosts, I will become a faint king." ”。
