Chapter 284: Divergence

Coincidentally, what Empress Fengxuan said happened to be Lu Mingfei's personal experience, and he didn't expect that the person who assassinated Yin Zhelu in Feng'an City back then turned out to be the work of Yelan Kingdom.

"Yin Zhilu's defection may not be completely motiveless, but in any case, you should be cautious. ”

Regarding the matter of Yin Zhelu, there is no specific news, and further discussion is limited to speculation, after listening to Empress Fengxuan's advice, Lu Mingfei solemnly nodded and left.

"Wait a minute, you can bring this with you. ”

Empress Fengxuan shouted again, and then sent a brocade box to Lu Mingfei's hand.

opened it and took a look, but Lu Mingfei was surprised, there was a Tenglong Pill in the brocade box.

Lu Mingfei quickly figured out the origin of this Tenglong Pill, which was the one he had refined for Boss Bai in the Dark Night Poison Forest, and remembered that Boss Bai had said that Tenglong Dan was originally refined for others, and he was reluctant to eat it, but it turned out to be sent to Queen Fengxuan's hands.

"You take it, you should use it. ”

Lu Mingfei wanted to excuse himself, but was stuffed into his arms by Empress Fengxuan.

After a delay of three days, 150,000 reinforcements finally went to the Southern Wilderness under the leadership of the Third Prince and Lu Mingfei.

On this day, more than a dozen generals gathered in the big tent to discuss the next action plan.

The third prince sat in the front position, but his face was dazed, and he couldn't see any thoughts and ideas at all, Lu Mingfei's face was usually silent, as if he was thinking about something, while Jia Yuanfei was looking down at all kinds of news and information coming from the front.

"According to the news, the demons of Nanxiang Pavilion have captured Bihu Villa the day before yesterday, and now they are using Bihu Villa as a stronghold, gradually forming a siege of Nanfeng City, and it seems that there is a tendency to seize Nanfeng City, Yun Dashuai has been trapped in Nanfeng City for nearly a month, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on for too long, I might as well go directly to Nanfeng City, and Yun Dashuai will be surrounded inside and outside, and directly drive these demons back to Nanxiang Mountain. ”

One of the generals was the first to express his opinion, and various voices soon came from the tent.

"If you go to the South Wind City, you must pass through Bihu Villa, and the road may not be peaceful, and you may encounter an ambush by the enemy. ”

"General Chen is too cautious, according to the news, the total number of demons in Nanxiang Pavilion is only 50,000, how many can we defend Bihu Villa, we now have an army of 150,000, is it possible to be afraid of them?"

The other person chimed in: "That's right, since you have passed through Bihu Villa, it is better to directly capture Bihu Villa, and then it is not too late to join Yun Dashuai." ”

"Although our side has a numerical advantage, but it is a taboo for soldiers to make such a rash advance in the south when they first come to the south, in my opinion, it is better to have an insight into the enemy's situation first, understand the deployment of Nanxiang Pavilion and then make plans. ”

"When I understand the enemy's situation, I'm afraid that Nanfeng City will be lost!"

Everyone had different opinions, and there was a lot of argument in the big tent, but it was useless to argue no matter how they argued, and after a while, several generals still set their sights on the side of the three princes, after all, on the surface, Wei Fatzi was the commander of the reinforcements, and he was also the one who finally made the decision.

The third prince was stunned for a moment in the face of everyone's eyes, and then said with a dry laugh: "The generals see what I do, you don't know, I don't know the art of war, and I don't know how to cultivate, what ideas can I have?"

Then he pointed to Lu Mingfei beside him and said: "Just take advantage of today to say that in the future, don't call me the prince and Your Royal Highness in the military camp, Brother Lu is also the son of the queen mother, so call him His Royal Highness." ”

These days, the name "Your Highness" has always made the three princes suspicious, unable to sleep and eat, always feel that someone has done something to their feet in eating and drinking, or as soon as they close their eyes, a killer will appear to assassinate them.

finally threw it to Lu Mingfei, which suddenly made Wei Fatzi feel extremely relaxed.

While speaking, the third prince also came to Lu Mingfei's side very cooperatively and took the initiative to play the role of a little follower.

The generals looked at each other, but they didn't expect the three princes to blatantly pick their sons like this.

In desperation, everyone turned their attention to Lu Mingfei again.

"Brother Jia, do you have any opinions?"

Lu Mingfei didn't want to pay much attention, so he threw the problem to Jia Yuanju.

Jia Yuanshu dropped the news and information in his hand, slowly raised his head and said: "I can't go to Nanfeng City, and I can't go to Bihu Villa, if the army goes here, it will inevitably have a head-on conflict with Nanxiang Pavilion, and a big war is inevitable." ”

A soft snort suddenly came from among the crowd: "If you are afraid of a big war, then what are I going to do here?"

Jia Yuanshu explained: "It's not that I'm afraid of war, it's just that at present, most of the recruits of the 150,000 army still lack enough experience and combat power, in my opinion, it is better to hide the army first, on the one hand, strengthen drills, and cooperate with small-scale battles to improve the experience of combat power, and at the same time maintain a certain deterrent effect on Nanxiang Pavilion, so that it does not dare to act rashly." ”

A person suddenly walked out of the crowd and looked at Jia Yuanshu coldly, it was Zhao Xuanyan, the commander of the Imperial Ming Division.

"Now there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Yun Dashuai, and we have 150,000 troops, facing less than 50,000 enemy soldiers but avoiding the battle, if it is spread out, it will not be laughed at, since this gentleman doubts the combat strength of our army, I am not afraid to tell you, this expedition, the Imperial Ming Division has transferred more than 600 generals, all of them are self-cultivation, and there are dozens of people who have reached the realm of enlightenment, are these not enough to compete head-on with Nanxiang Pavilion? ”

Although Zhao Xuanyan's tone was flat, as a master of the Condensation Realm, he had been in a high position for a long time, and he had an aura that was different from ordinary people, and he could clearly feel the coldness in his words.

Jia Yuanshu was not taken by the momentum of the other party at all, and slowly shook his head and said: "More than 600 generals, dare to ask Commander Zhao, have these 600 generals experienced a battlefield life and death struggle? How many have killed people?" Do you know that most of the people in the Nanxiang Pavilion originally lived in an environment where they were weak and strong, as far as I know, many sects in order to cultivate disciples in the sect, even let these disciples kill each other when they were children, most of these people have ruthless personalities, and the means are diverse, if they can easily repel the place by relying only on the advantage of numbers, then Yun Dashuai's department is enough, why do you need me to help?"

Zhao Xuanyan was speechless, but he was obviously not convinced, and said in a deep voice: "What can you do if you are ruthless, isn't the demon of Nanxiang Pavilion also a head and two arms, is it possible that you can still give birth to three heads and six arms?"

"Don't argue, you can do what Brother Jia wants. ”

Lu Mingfei knows that Zhao Xuanyan has an unruly personality, and it is not a few words that can convince him, and there is no need to waste any more tongues, along the way, Lu Mingfei has absolute trust in Jia Yuanji, and at this time, he needs to make a decision immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes, just do what Brother Lu said. ”

Seeing that Lu Mingfei spoke, the three princes on the side hurriedly echoed.

Jia Yuanshu continued: "The people of Nanxiang Pavilion may not have three heads and six arms, but their means are beyond what you and I can imagine, Commander Zhao can know that a year ago in the Bihu Villa, the other party had set up a phantom butterfly array, which almost trapped hundreds of monks in the villa, and now with only 50,000 people, they dare to attack on a large scale, how can the other party have no backhand." ”

Zhao Xuanyan had nothing to argue, so he snorted coldly and walked outside, leaving the rest of the generals looking at each other.

Lu Mingfei knew that he and Jia Yuanshu had just joined the army and lacked prestige, but they were helpless.

"Brother Jia means to find a place to settle down the 150,000 army first?"

Lu Mingfei asked again, and Jia Yuanshu pondered for a moment and said: "Try to avoid frontal conflicts, if you start a big war now, you may not be able to win, but even if you win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"But in this southern wilderness, where can we accommodate these 150,000 troops?"

Jia Yuanshu already had an idea in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Lu has forgotten Fengyunling?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized.

"Fengyunling is surrounded by mountains and stretches for hundreds of miles, accommodating more than 100,000 people is not a problem at all, entering the mountains, you can let the soldiers build military tents according to the mountains, and they can settle down in three to five days. ”

After discussion, Lu Mingfei ordered the army to divert to the west and rush towards Fengyunling, and after a few days of marching, the brigade had come to Fengyunling, which was only more than 20 miles away.
