"Old Yan, with a little temptation in the broken temple, I tried out the truth of the cloud chasing the moon. I'm not lying to you, am I?"

At this moment, the corners of Sui Zuo's mouth were pouted with a confident smile that was expected to be the first.

Through his calm expression, his breezy tone, and his rather respectful address to Yan Wuji. It is not difficult to see that Sui Zuo at this time has already dissipated the anger in his heart, and he is like two people with the "General Sui" who has just come out of anger.

In the face of the "ever-changing" Sui Zuo, Yan Wuji was not surprised at all, only smiled bitterly in Sui Zuo's chattering voice, and said helplessly: "I have to admit that General Sui's vision of knowing people is far more vicious than that of the old man." ”

"Hugh looks at the clouds chasing the moon and vibrates the words, but in fact it is a bunch of nonsense. Sui Zuo snorted, "What rabbit dead dog cooks? What can't you believe him? It's all a pretext, to put it simply, he just doesn't want the Central Plains Martial Arts to be overturned." ”

"Although Yun Chasing Moon is a martial arts pagan religion, he cares a little about the feelings of the same clan. Yan Wuji sighed, "Such a person can only be used, but not reused." ”

"Not bad!" Sui Zuo smiled with a smile of ambition, "Fortunately, Old Yan is still sensible, and he brought me to test me tonight." Otherwise, we will pin all the hopes of the Great Khan on Yun Chasing Yue, and there may be some chaos in the future. In my opinion, the alliance between Yun Chasing Moon and us is fake, and using us to help him achieve his goals is true. ”

Yan Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "You mean that he wants to use us to sit on the throne of the Martial Arts Alliance Master." When that's done, you're going to kick us away again?"

"Not impossible. Sui Zuo muttered, "Through a game tonight, I have concluded that Yun Chasing Yue is by no means loyal to the Great Khan. On the contrary, he not only hides his own selfish intentions, but also has other plans. The Great Khan's temperament has always been close to the inside and outside. In all important battles, the commander is all his own clan blood relative, and no matter how bad he is, he is a confidant who has followed him for many years, and he will never reuse outsiders, let alone foreigners?"

There is a reason for that. Yan Wuji agreed, "When I proposed to the Great Khan the plan to join forces with Yun Chasing the Moon, the Great Khan meant that it can only be used, not trusted. Come to think of it, the Great Khan had already expected that this person would be unreliable. In fact, the old man knew that Yun Chasing the Moon was secretly selfish, but he never expected that he would be so resistant to sending troops. In my opinion, it is not wise to expose one's selfish motives so blatantly. ”

"With my years of experience in the army, Yun Chasing the Moon is doing this for no more than three reasons. ”

Hearing this, Yan Wuji's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly said, "I want to hear it in detail!"

"First, as we have just said, he cares about the friendship of his kindred and does not want us to go on a killing spree. Second, just like a general who leads his troops to fight, he only hopes to have a commander in a war, so that he can monopolize power and enjoy military merits. Yun Chasing the Moon's move is said to be implicit as a 'delaying tactic', and to put it bluntly as 'raising self-respect'. He doesn't want us to exterminate those recklessness, in order to preserve our 'value' and our position in the heart of the Great Khan. Sui Zuo explained, "Just imagine, once the Central Plains martial arts cease to exist, Yun Chasing the Moon will no longer be useful, only the miserable end of the rabbit and the dead dog." Therefore, when he keeps the Central Plains martial arts, he is to protect himself. ”

Yan Wuji sighed in his heart, Sui Zuo was a reckless man with five big and three rough on the surface, but in fact, he was thoughtful and resourceful.

"Keep talking!"

"Third, Yun Chaiyue wants to monopolize the power of life and death, and he will decide the life and death of those Han people, not us. "In other words, he tried his best to prevent us from sending troops, not to protect everyone, but to protect some." As everyone knows, the army is pressing, and as soon as the battle begins, life and death are impermanent, and life is like a mustard. ”

Sui Zuo's words caused Yan Wuji to fall into deep thought. He frowned, thought hard, and nodded lightly as if he hadn't done anything, and said, "There is some truth in this. ”

Seeing that Yan Wuji was absent-minded, Sui Zuo couldn't help but move his eyes and asked, "What does Old Yan think of?"

"That's good!" Yan Wuji said, "Yun Chaiyue once sent people to Luoyang to desperately rescue the people of the Valley of Desperate Love. As I expected, Cloud Chasing Moon and the Heartless Valley Lord seem to be inextricably linked. Thinking about it this way, it coincides with General Sui's remarks just now. ”

"In any case, we have to use and guard against the moon. Sui Zuo smiled cruelly, "If he can become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and act according to the prior agreement, then we can suspend the movement of troops, and also give him a chance to 'show loyalty'." But once he is defeated at the martial arts conference, all the previous promises will be empty talk. At that time, we will still have to rely on our own soldiers and horses. In any case, we need to be prepared for the unexpected. We must not let the clouds chase the moon and lead us by the nose. In this alliance, he is only 'from', and we are the 'master'. ”

Yan Wuji's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "But the old man has just promised Yun Chasing the Moon, he will definitely send someone to closely monitor every move around Huashan, and any wind and grass will not escape his eyes."

"In this section, Yan Lao doesn't have to worry. Sui Zuo smiled mysteriously and said secretly, "There will not be a single soldier around Huashan, no matter how he monitors, he will never notice the slightest clue." ”

"Oh?" Yan Wuji's face was surprised, "What do you mean by that?"

"How can the soldiers swallow slowly? To tell the truth, the 30,000-strong army had already been arranged a month ago. As long as I give an order, I will be able to attack Huashan in an instant, and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor. ”

"Properly arranged?" Yan Wuji said in surprise as he looked around the vast wilderness, "Where are your soldiers and horses in ambush?"

"Although the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were weak, the military books of the Han people were quite exquisite. Sui Zuo smiled evilly, "Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: 'Soldiers, treacherous ways. 'The most dangerous places are often the safest. Therefore, my soldiers and horses are now dormant in the most dangerous places. ”

"The most dangerous place?" Yan Wuji rolled his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Where?"

Sui Zuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, and said with a wicked smile: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

"Huashan Town?" Yan Wuji seemed to be a little enlightened, "You mean, 30,000 troops were ambushed by you in Huashan Town, how is this possible?"

"How could it be?" Sui Zuo said proudly, "My soldiers and horses are now on standby in Huashan Town, right under the noses of those Han people." Get along with them day and night every day, shoulder to shoulder. It's a pity that these Han people have eyes but no beads, and they can't distinguish them. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In order not to arouse suspicion, as early as a few months ago, I sent troops to infiltrate Huashan Town in batches, and secretly captured the people in the town, leaving behind women, children, old and children, and at the same time asked my soldiers to disguise themselves as young and strong townspeople, working at sunrise and resting at sunset."

"What?" Yan Wuji suddenly opened his mouth, and was shocked, "You mean that the people of Huashan Town right now are all soldiers and horses that you secretly set up?"

There are also many soldiers and horses disguised as rangers, merchants, monks, and even beggars. Even among the craftsmen recruited by Shen Dongshan to build the Sword Table, there were many of them who were my people. Scattered and scattered, 30,000 soldiers finally infiltrated into Huashan unconsciously. Now, with a single order, they can turn the people into soldiers and rise up in an instant. Sui Zuo said, "Old Yan, how did I use this trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea?"

"Clever! Really clever! Admire! Old man admires!"

It was only at this moment that Yan Wuji finally understood why the Mongol Great Khan would make Sui Zuo the commander of the Jingbei camp.

This person is not only loyal, has been killed for a long time, has strong martial arts, and is ruthless. More importantly, he is courageous, knowledgeable, brave and strategic, and is a rare commander of the army.

Relying solely on this reckless move to "hide from the sky and cross the sea" is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary ability to command troops.

"In order to avoid mistakes, I ordered all the blades to be hidden outside Huashan Town. In this way, no one will suspect that there is fraud in the town. Sui Zuo said with annoyance, "It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven." A batch of blades hidden in the valley field of Xingyao Village were discovered by the people of the Xianwang Mansion by mistake. Since then, the matter of secretly setting up an ambush has been spreading in Huashan Town, and it has been out of control. ”

"Right now, even Yun Chasing Yue, who is thirty miles away, can hear about it, so it can be seen that this matter is no longer a secret in Huashan Town. Yan Wuji muttered, "Fortunately, if you hide your blades outside the town, you can hide people's eyes and ears, and no one would have thought that the ambush soldiers were all in the town." What's more, if it weren't for the exposure of the weapon, the old man would not have thought of using this to test the loyalty of Yun Chasing the Moon. Finally made a mistake and made a mistake. ”

"It's not a good thing to be found out after all, and it is expected that all factions are actively preparing for countermeasures. Sui Zuo said angrily, "Old Yan, you know a lot about these people in the rivers and lakes. If my soldiers and horses have been exposed, how will they respond in your opinion?"

"Once the East Window incident happens, they will definitely put aside their previous suspicions and join forces with the outside world. As for the countermeasures, eighty percent is to stick to and wait for help, and the inside should be combined with the outside. Yan Wuji pondered, "In my opinion, they will hold on for some time according to the Huashan natural danger and wear down our troops. At the same time, send people for help, and mobilize people from all sects."

As for this, Yan Wuji's eyes changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Not good! Since the blade is exposed, there must have been many people who have sent letters asking for help. ”

"I immediately sent someone to blockade Huashan Town, and I didn't even think of flying out again. Sui Zuo immediately made a decision and said in a deep voice, "I expect that after all, there are only a few people who have sent a letter asking for help, and even if most people know about it, they will hesitate and think about it for a while in order to distinguish the truth from the false." ”

"That's good!" Yan Wuji nodded again and again, "Stopping one is one, and if they have one less reinforcement, we will have a better chance of winning." In this battle, even if you can't kill all the people in the martial arts, you will at least hit them hard. Let them be jealous, and they will no longer dare to be our enemies, let alone be used by the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"It doesn't stop there. Sui Zuo sneered, "Huashan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Once they abandon their previous suspicions and join forces with the outside world, tens of thousands of rivers and lakes will recklessly treat death as if they were at home, which will still be a big trouble for us. Therefore, if you want to deal with them, you must still use some stratagem. ”

"What does General Sui mean"

"Either we don't fight, or we have to win a big battle! When they get together, they will be a great threat to us. Only by luring the snakes out of the hole and exterminating them one by one is the best policy. ”

"Once they are let out of Huashan, they will be scattered in an instant. Coupled with the reinforcements and their internal and external cooperation, I am afraid that there will be fish that will slip through the net."

Even if they escape from Huashan, they will not be able to escape another net beyond Huashan. ”

"What does General Sui mean"

"The martial arts conference will last for three days, counting today, we still have four days to prepare, which is enough!" Sui Zuo said fiercely, "I immediately ordered to mobilize another 10,000 elite soldiers from the Jingbei camp to hurry over." Set up ambushes on all the passes and arteries within 50 miles of Huashan, weave an invisible net, and make a special trip to deal with those fish who slipped through the net. This time, I want these self-righteous fools to fly recklessly!"
