Chapter 112: Clever Scheme
Lu Zijin and his entourage stayed in the hall for a long time, about three hours, before they gradually walked out, and Xu Huaigu saw that their expressions were still very heavy.
Several people discussed nervously in front of the palace, and then they dispersed, mounted their horses, and still went out of the city to their respective positions.
Lu Zijin didn't leave, but frowned slightly, walked up to Xu Huaigu, and said to him: "Let's go, go into the hall, Your Highness wants to see you." Xu Huaigu nodded, and the two walked into the hall with heavy steps.
I saw that Lin Cangyang was still showing Lin Hongzhi's appearance at this time, she had already retired from the irrelevant people around her, and at this time, she was the only one left in the huge hall, Ling Li, Lu Zijin and Xu Huaigu.
Lin Cangyang sat on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and frowned, supported his forehead with one hand, and stood beside her with his hands down, his face expressionless.
Hearing the footsteps, Lin Cangyang opened his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Huaigu, and asked, "I heard Mr. Lu say that you came to look for me, what's the matter?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, I heard rumors in the city that the demon clan had reached Ximen Gorge, so I was worried and came to ask if the news was true or not." Lin Cangyang nodded and said, "This matter is indeed true. Xu Huaigu frowned, looked at Lu Zijin, and asked, "Why is the demon clan advancing so quickly these days?" Does Mr. Lu have anything to say? Lu Zijin was a little helpless and explained: "I don't lead the troops as badly as you think, it's just a trick to defeat and retreat." Otherwise, even if you are defeated, you will not retreat so quickly. ”
"That's right, you can't blame Mr. Lu for this matter, we made a decision together." Ling Li looked at Xu Huaigu and said slowly.
Xu Huaigu asked bluntly: "What kind of trick do you use?" Lin Cangyang looked at Lu Zijin and said, "Mr. Xu is not an outsider, Mr. Lu, you tell him." So Lu Zijin glanced at Xu Huaigu, and then he said: "When we were still in Tanglin Pass before, we deliberately passed on the information about the mountain trail to the demon clan, and the demon clan sent troops to ambush there, and then ambushed the soldiers who broke through to the north of Tanglin Pass. Although the damage was heavy, I also said at the time that these soldiers would die as they deserved, and now is the right time. ”
"Through that incident, the demon clan should have trusted our fake demon sect identity at this time, so this time we sent out another piece of information. It's just that this piece of information is a bait, just to be able to get a big sum of money back from the demon clan. I have already discussed this matter with several generals and His Highnesses, and I am going to use Ximenxia as the location for this plan. Xu Huaigu's expression became serious and he sounded seriously.
"Ximen Gorge is the last line of defense on the shore of Qishui, and it is also the last chance for our Dayu army to occupy the natural danger. This canyon is long and narrow, stretching for seventeen miles, and the mountains on both sides are very high. It is not easy to march from the mountains, but if you can pass under the canyon, you can drive straight into Xingqing. Of course, the demon clan knows this, but we have also stationed heavy troops in Ximen Gorge, occupying natural dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can't attack it for the time being. Therefore, the information this time is the detailed topographic map of Ximen Gorge and the army station, with this map, the demon clan dares to risk a surprise attack. And as soon as they enter the canyon, they are turtles in the urn. Qi Shui Shen Ning Qiu had promised us that she would make a move for Da Yu Guo, and this was the time for her to make a move. No matter how many demon clans come, when they enter the canyon, they will only be flooded. When Lu Zijin said this, there was already a smile on his face, and Ling Li also nodded to Xu Huaigu, indicating that this was their plan.
It sounded good, but Xu Huaigu was still a little worried, and he asked, "Is Ning Qiu reliable?" Lu Zijin nodded and said, "I have already negotiated with her, and she agreed." But this is only one shot, and she doesn't care about the future. Xu Huaigu asked again: "How many troops have you put in Ximen Gorge?" How many troops will the demon clan send to attack Ximenxia? ”
"We have 350,000 soldiers and horses, and we occupy the natural danger, the demon clan knows that this is a hard bone, and the troops sent should only be more. At that time, hundreds of thousands of demon troops will be flooded in one fell swoop, which can not only severely defeat the demon clan, but also avenge the dead soldiers. ”
"In this way, it is also feasible, but our troops must also be evacuated in time at that time, otherwise we are afraid of being affected."
"Don't worry about this, I've already ordered it to be prepared in advance." Xu Huaigu bowed slightly, feeling that this plan was feasible.
Lin Cangyang also felt more energetic because of this plan. She straightened up in her chair and said, "If this plan can be successful, even if my Dayu Kingdom is destroyed, it will not be a loss." Xu Huaigu asked again: "After this plan, the demon clan will definitely be furious, and it will definitely come back after resting." Is there a way to deal with the rest of the matter? Xu Huaigu looked at Lu Zijin, Lu Zijin looked at Ling Li, and the two looked at each other and didn't speak.
In the end, Lin Cangyang replied resolutely: "It's just the last battle of Xingqing to defend the city, and it's not a big deal." "That battle will be the final battle of Xingqing.
Despite all the efforts he had made before, he still couldn't escape the fate of death, and Xu Huaigu had mixed feelings in his heart.
Lin Cangyang looked at Xu Huaigu with a resolute gaze and said, "After the battle of Ximenxia, I will tighten my forces, transfer all the troops outside back to the vicinity of Xingqing, and station them in the surrounding towns, and then meet the last battle." I can lose, but I have to show them the backbone of my Terran! Xu Huaigu stood at the foot of the steps, looking up at the princess of the last generation of the Dayu Kingdom, who was also the last emperor, and a sense of awe arose in his heart.
In this moment, she was not the friend he knew, she was a true king. The hall was silent for a long time before Xu Huaigu asked, "After that, what are your highness's plans?" Lin Cangyang muttered, "There is no after." I was born and grew up in this land, and it should end here. Xu Huaigu looked at Lu Zijin, and then at Ling Li, the two of them were expressionless, not knowing what they were thinking.
Suddenly, Xu Huaigu frowned, bowed his head and bowed down, actually made a military salute, and said sharply: "I implore Your Highness to go north, I will protect Your Highness throughout the whole process!" Lin Cangyang smiled, but shook his head and said, "No need, you go yours, don't worry about me." This is the last dignity of my Dayu Kingdom, and I will protect it. Xu Huaigu wanted to argue, but Lin Cangyang interrupted him, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Not only do I not want you to take me away, but I also don't want you to participate in the defense of Xingqing, you must leave before the demon clan officially attacks Xingqing." Xu Huaigu hurriedly said: "Why? I also want to contribute, can Your Highness think I'm useless? Lin Cangyang smiled: "If I think you are useless, how can I ask you to help me do so many things?" It's because I feel that you have done too much for Dayuguo, so I want you to go. She stood up, walked up to Xu Huaigu step by step, looked at him sincerely, and said, "I still remember the first time I asked you for help, it was ten years ago. At that time, I still had something to pay you for, but now that you have done so much for me, I have nothing more to give you, so I feel guilty for you. The last battle of Xingqing will be very tragic, so it is inevitable that the great demons of the Ten Realms will participate in the siege, and you like to be reckless, so I don't want you to stay here. Xu Huaigu was so anxious that he blurted out: "But ......"
"Don't say it, if you are still a citizen of my kingdom, listen to my commands." Lin Cangyang looked at him seriously.
The two looked at each other, and she spoke,
"Go see a grand occasion in Ximenxia, and after that, see me again, I have one last thing to give you. Then you leave Xingqing, take the people you want to take with you, and go far. Lin Cangyang sat back in his place, smiled gently, looked at Xu Huaigu, and said, "Xu Huaigu, live well." Lu Zijin and Ling Li also nodded at him.
Xu Huaigu pursed his lips tightly, bowed to Lin Cangyang again, and bowed deeply. …… Fifty miles south of Xingqing, the mountains and forests here are the camps of the demon clan.
In the middle of the camp was a makeshift wooden house, and the old man in the form of gluttony was sitting quietly on a chair in the wooden room, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Reading Shula has had several heavy snowfalls recently, and it is the Tianzhu Demon Clan, so they have won several battles in a row, and they have advanced very quickly, and they are only thirty miles away from Xingqing.
The successive victories made Tao Tao a little relaxed, he didn't care much about the border war recently, but rather let the big demons below.
Tao Tao sat on the chair and thought carefully about the situation after the capture of Xingqing City. Presumably, when this news reaches Mo Long's ears, he will be able to become an official and become a knight, and his status in the demon clan will be even more prominent.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Outside, a flying demon landed at the door of the wooden house, shook the snow on its wings, walked into the house, and reported to him: "Lord Gluttony, there is another letter from the Demon Sect." ”
"Demon Sect?" Gluttony slowly opened his eyes,
"Give me the letter." The flying demon respectfully handed a yellow paper letter to the glutton, who took the letter and waved his hand, signaling the demon to stand back.
The seal of the letter was intact, but the gluttony was not in a hurry to open it, but carefully recalled the information sent to them by the Demon Sect last time.
Last time in the letter, the Demon Sect said that the only way to go north from Tanglin Pass, he was still skeptical, so he sent the four-armed ape to verify, and the result was exactly the same as what the letter said.
Although the process was also full of twists and turns, it was really unexpected. After all, no one expected that Wei Caiyi, such a Great Cultivator of the Eleventh Realm of Middle Earth, would happen to be on the border.
Thinking about it this way, the Demon Sect didn't deceive him. I don't know what information will be brought in the letter of the Demon Sect this time?
Gluttony opened the envelope, revealing a map inside. He unfolded the map, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but laugh.
Inside the envelope is a map of the march of Ximen Gorge. Now the demon clan is fighting to Ximen Gorge, and it is blocked by the army of Dayu Kingdom, and it has not been able to attack it for a while.
He also knew that after leaving Ximen Gorge, it was a smooth road, and he could go straight to Xingqing City. Therefore, as long as Ximen Gorge is taken, Xingqing will be nine out of ten.
This demon sect is quite good at catering to them, giving whatever they want. Gluttony didn't dare to take it lightly, but still read it carefully, and after careful calculation, the troops arranged in various places were reasonable, so he was a little relieved.
Immediately, he called a team of flying demons who specialized in pathfinding and mapping, and asked them to go to the vicinity of Ximen Gorge to investigate, and the flying demons set off immediately.
In fact, there is no need to wait for those flying demons to come back, and the gluttony can be sure that this picture is true, and the reason why they are sent out is just to be safer.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time, and decided to accept the kindness of this demon sect. He called a few henchmen under his command, and the demons discussed the best way to attack around the map for a long time, and finally settled on a plan, and decided to implement this plan.
Now there are no monks in the Terran army to assist, and the demon clan no longer sends big demons to fight.
Tao Tao only handpicked a few demon clan generals in the six or seven realms, and asked them to lead 400,000 demon clans, according to the established plan, divided into three routes, both open attacks and secret attacks, and it was necessary to take Ximen Gorge overnight.
As long as Ximen Gorge is obtained, Xingqing City will already be a thing in the pool, and when the time comes, the Dayu Kingdom will fall, and the first-class credit for the first city in the war between the two clans will be his gluttony.
Thinking of this, Gluttony couldn't help but smile proudly. However, how would he know that his every move had long been in the calculations of the Great Yu Kingdom.
Wei Caiyi is right, although the demon clan is brave in battle, they are far from being opponents compared to the human race in terms of wisdom.
Even gluttony, such an ancient demon who has lived for thousands of years, can't be avoided.
