Chapter 43: Standing Along the River (2nd Watch)

Xue Zha replied to the two leaders of the Martial Arts League in Fengzhou and Lingzhou according to Cai Guoxi's suggestion, and the next day, the "eight thousand" and "five thousand" mentioned by the envoys of the two alliance leaders arrived.

Xue Zha asked Su Bao and Xu Danbo to do the task of detachment and integration, while he locked himself in the house, meditating on the means of combat.

He understands that the army of the Jianghu people is only the general trend, and the key to winning the war depends on him Xue Zha.

Through the information from Jiang Chen's side, Yun Guo had already dropped 100,000 troops and stood up along the river.

Among the 100,000 troops, the commander Yun Tianlu is a quasi-saint realm Confucian with the same realm as Yang Sanyuan, and under his command, there are four great Confucians in charge of military affairs.

In addition to these five great Confucians, in the 100,000-strong army of Yunguo, every commander is a Hanlin, every commander is a bachelor, and every centurion must have been in the army for many years and has extremely rich combat experience to serve as a jinshi.

It can be said that the backbone of the 100,000 troops standing along the river in Yunguo are all experienced and profound scholars.

Their Jianghu people are generally low, 80% are only language scholars, the remaining 20% are language masters, and only by the side of each captain will there be a completely escort team composed of language heroes.

After Xue Zha saw this information, he immediately concluded: Yun Tianlu and the four great Confucians must be guarded by Yuzun and even masters of the Yuwang Realm, and the difficulty of this war is also here.

If the two sides fight each other and the generals fight against each other, then the number of their own side is far less than that of the other side, and such a strategy is simply looking for death.

And if you want to use a seven-person squad to do a decapitation operation, you can still do this to the enemy's centurion and thousand-neck, but if you run into the Yuxia squad next to the opponent's captain, this is tantamount to suicide.

Therefore, the key to Xue Zhe's hard thinking is: how to block the enemy and all the scholars with the power of one person.

If Xue Zha can shock all the other party's readers with a saint's article or a saint's poem, and even use such an article or poem to make the opponent's 100,000-strong army collapse, then he will be one person leading the entire battle at that time, and the army of 20,000 Jianghu people in his hands will also act as an executioner for the slaughter.

"Yes...... Which article and poem should I use?"

The more Xue Zhe thought about it, the more he felt that he had less hair, he couldn't discuss this kind of thing with others, and he couldn't even write it for comparison, because the power of start-up poems and start-up articles was by no means comparable to ordinary poems and articles.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the atmosphere on the entire Baiyun River has become tense.

Every day, Xue Zha can receive countless pieces of information sent by Jiang Chen, such as a certain Yunguo centurion who has deducted his military salary, such as a certain Yunguo centurion who does not return to the camp at night to find a young lady, or how many women this old and unserious man has brought in the barracks, or how many people around a certain captain are competitive with others......

I have to say that Jiang Chen's intelligence work is very well done, but this kind of war in which the two sides add up to 120,000 people, and these means involving ideas and spirits cannot be used at all.

Xue Zha personally went to the riverside several times, and saw the endless black camp on the other side of the river from a distance, I have to say that Yun Tianlu is a very good general, his method of arranging the camp is very mature, the camps are independent of each other, connected together and not a straight line, winding and rugged, the whole camp is like a huge centipede, looking hideous and terrifying.

Xue Zha understands that such an opponent is difficult to defeat with stratagem.

He tried to let a seven-man squad infiltrate the enemy's camp and set it on fire, but the other party had a lot of money and directly withdrew all the soldiers in the camp, and only after the fire was extinguished did they re-enter and rebuild.

The strategy adopted by Yun Tian Rub is very simple: Aren't you a small-scale combat force far stronger than ours? Then I won't give you a small-scale battle, I will force you to fight a decisive battle with me, I will fight 100,000 against 20,000, I will use Great Confucianism against the Holy Realm, the strength of the two sides can be said to be balanced because of Xue Zha's existence, such a comparison of strength, he Yun Tian Rub won, it will not make people say that he is incompetent, after all, on the Wenyu Continent, there are only a handful of wars in which a real Saint Realm powerhouse participates, but every time, the side where the Saint Realm powerhouse is located wins.

Xue Zhe withstood such pressure for another half a month, and Chu Haihong and the two envoys from Fengzhou and Lingzhou found him at the same time.

"With Lord Wang, we don't have much grain and grass, and the Baiguo government doesn't supply us with grain and grass except for Longzhou, so we can't win such a war. ”

"Yes, with Lord Wang...... If you don't write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor and ask him to send grain and grass over, or we will fight each other as soon as possible, it will be very bad for us to drag on like this!"

"With Lord Wang, you have not been fighting, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the other party to make a mistake or waiting for our army's morale to gradually become unstable, if this continues, we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand it......"

..................

Xue Zha could only remain silent in the face of the complaints of the three people.

What can he say, he's desperate too...... I don't have inspiration in my head, and those poems and articles on weekdays seem to be going out as if I don't want money, but when I encounter this kind of war, I just can't find suitable articles and poems, do you really want him to throw monkeys as soon as he comes up?

Xue Zha turned to leave, and before leaving, he dropped a sentence: "Give me three more days, after the three days have passed, no matter whether what I want appears or not, I will start arranging the battle." ”

Chu Haihong and the three of them didn't persuade much, and the three of them also felt a lot of pressure, but since Xue Zha said "three days", then wait for another three days, and after three days, everything will be clear.

Xue Zha passed another three days, and in the evenings of these three days, he would sit by the river every night and look up at the moon at night, and he probably already had an idea, and the poems and articles to be used should be related to "river" and "moon".

Soon, three days passed, and Xue Zha re-stood on the Dianjiang platform on this day.

It is already late autumn, there are a lot of clouds in the sky this day, the lead-colored sky makes people's hearts feel like they have pressed fast stones, coupled with the heavy drums, early in the morning, the camp of more than 20,000 people stands on the school ground, and the atmosphere is solemn.

Xue Zha looked at the army of 20,000 people in front of him, and saw them standing together in units of seven or fifteen, he nodded, smiled with relief and said: "I know everyone is in a hurry, but this war is caused by me Xue Zha alone, no matter whether it is right or wrong, since the enemy said that I Xue Zha did it, it was me Xue Zha who did it, but I don't want you to die because of Xue Zha." ”

Xue Zha's opening remarks were very calm, and they didn't give people a feeling of impassioned or bleak autumn breeze, which made everyone wonder, it's time to fight, shouldn't Xue Zha boost morale?

Xue Zha knew what everyone was thinking, he pulled the corners of his mouth again and smiled: "I know, you think that at this time, like all politicians and military strategists, I should raise the morale of your 20,000 people, and make your blood boil and fight for me." ”

The two idioms were said, and indeed the idiom effect was about to fall, but Xue Zha shook his head, and the crown of the language on his head flashed, and the power of the two idioms was directly withdrawn by him.

Chu Haihong, Cai Guoxi and the others frowned, they couldn't understand what Xue Zha's was doing, with the strength of his language Wang Realm, if he used "blood boiling" and "desperate for himself", these 20,000 people were estimated to be able to fight 80,000 people.

And Xue Zha didn't make them doubt too much, he smiled for the third time and said: "This is my Xue Zha battle, then I, Xue Zha, should gnaw the hardest bones." ”

As he spoke, his robe floated, and it was only at this moment that everyone noticed that he was not wearing armor when he was standing on the platform, he was only wearing a round-necked white robe today.
