[Chapter 24: The Sword Is Not Old]

As one of the five major checkpoints of Hongshan County, which is mostly mountainous, the topography of Chaoyang Pass is similar to that of Dongzhiguan and Gongkou Pass, the only difference is that Chaoyang Pass is much higher than the Sunset Pass that is less than two kilometers apart, and it can be said that in geography, Chaoyang Pass has a great advantage.

In the marshal's mansion at the checkpoint, Lu Hongshan was sitting tall and handsome, and his right arm, hidden under the wide robe, could not be seen from the outside with serious injuries.

On Lu Hongshan's side, Liu Boyu sat on another Taishi chair, while Lu Tai, Lu Feng and the rest of the generals, as well as the four Xuan cultivators brought by Yun Ze sent Liu Boyu, were on both sides.

"Marquis Hongshan, the battle in Yunjing is urgent, and our army arrived later than expected, why don't you knock on the pass in time?" Liu Boyu's expression was a little gloomy: "Now the direction of the Duanmeng army probably didn't expect to send troops in the direction of Hongshan County, there are not many defenders of Sunset Pass, it is very easy to capture, why do you want to stay." ”

"It's just a matter of taking the Sunset Pass, but it's just a snap of your fingers!" Lu Hongshan smiled confidently: "But now that the rapid march has just stopped, the soldiers have been working day and night, and now they need to rest for a while." Moreover, it is early in the morning, and the morning sun is in the east, which is very unfavorable for us to tackle key problems. ”

Liu Boyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was slightly deep: "When the army gathered, Hongshanhou had many reasons to delay the dispatch of troops for several days. Now this reason is not because we failed to bring the Interrupted Pill?"

"Elder Liu's words are serious!" Lu Hongshan smiled indifferently: "I believe that the Yunze Sect will not lose its trust in others, and naturally it will not be troubled because of this." I'm just more affectionate with these sergeants than you, so I don't want one of my wrong orders to cost more soldiers their lives, after all, they are just like us, they are all lives, even if they die in battle, they should be really valuable. ”

As soon as Lu Hongshan's words came out, all the generals were in awe, after all, it was a great honor for a soldier to follow a commander who was sympathetic to the soldiers.

Liu Boyu also felt that the atmosphere in the entire conference hall suddenly froze, but he also pondered slightly: "Then with the meaning of Hongshan Hou, when will we tackle the problem?"

"Tomorrow afternoon!" Lu Hongshan replied.

Liu Boyu frowned: "It's so late, can't it be this afternoon?"

Lu Hongshan shook his head: "Actually, today and tomorrow are not much different from the outcome of the battle...... However, there is a big difference in the morale and combat strength of our army, as well as in the losses. ”

"I don't understand this, you can explain it clearly!" Liu Boyu is not a self-righteous person.

Lu Hongshan nodded: "Actually, before our army arrived, I had already asked people to shoot the war book to Sunset Pass!"

"Ah, isn't this a scare for the snake?" someone exclaimed, and Liu Boyu also nodded: "Hongshan Hou, why do you want to do this?"

"What is the strategic purpose of our army's art of war in Duanmengzhou?" Lu Hongshan Zhizhu said: "It's just to put pressure on Duanmenghou and create a counterattack by the Imperial Foreign Alliance Army." Then, in order to achieve this initial effect, a war letter is sufficient! Because the guards of Sunset Pass, as soon as they receive the war letter, they will transmit the battle report to the ears of Duanmenghou. ”

"As for what you say about startling the grass and scaring the snake, it's a joke! Because just as we are guarding against the sunset pass all the time, the sunset pass is also guarding against us all the time, so it is a startling snake, so why should we be surprised again?" Lu Hongshan's analysis undoubtedly made the person who exclaimed in surprise and many generals who had the same concept as him embarrassed.
