Gu Shenwei and Fang Wen had a long talk all night, the little girl Tie Linglong was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the low couch, Chu Nanping was loyal to his duties and kept vigilant, he couldn't understand what the Dragon King and the strategists were saying, and his ears were all used to listen to the sound outside the tent.

Chu Nanping naturally had a reason to be nervous, it was not once or twice that the Dragon King was assassinated, and he swore that he would never let this co-cultivator die in the hands of others.

In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Shenwei convened the five patriarchs to discuss important matters, Fang Wen was the first time in his life to speak as a military advisor, he was so excited that he never closed his eyes, his mind was full of ideas of unity and horizontality, and he didn't feel sleepy, when he analyzed the current situation to several gloomy Daxue Mountain patriarchs, he was full of spirit, and it seemed that the whole world was in his hands.

"The snowy mountains are in danger, if you don't prepare early, you won't survive this year, and the whole army will be wiped out. Fang Wen accepted the Dragon King's suggestion, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was alarmist.

The five patriarchs laughed disdainfully when they heard this, and Long Xiaoshi, the one-eyed patriarch of Danduofeng, was the first to refute, he was pecked out of an eye by the divine bird Dapeng, and his status rose because of this, and he had the right to speak in front of the dragon king, "The whole army is destroyed?" Do you know that in the past two months, Daxueshan has defeated the army of Shule Kingdom three times, killing countless enemies, our army has suffered few losses, and the Jinpeng killers have plotted more than a dozen times, all of which have not returned, and a string of human heads is still hanging at the gate of the camp. ”

Fang Wen listened humbly, showing respect for the patriarch of Danduofeng, and then asked, "In that case, why didn't the Great Snow Mountain march to the Shule Kingdom, but stayed in the mountain pass and waited for the attack?"

"Just wait for the dragon king's order. Long Xiaoshi slammed his fist on the low table in front of him.

"Because we didn't plan to leave the Big Snow Mountain. The eldest Falling God Peak Patriarch Long Zhuying put forward another statement, and the other three patriarchs had their own tendencies, nodded one after another, and did not speak.

Only Fang Wen shook his head again and again, "Hehe, you think that the Great Snow Mountain has won successive battles, but you think that the Great Snow Mountain is defeated, what is a victory and what is a defeat, you can't just look at one time and one place......"

The military advisor's words were a little incomprehensible, which angered the five patriarchs, Long Xiaoshi raised his heavy sword and shouted: "Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, clearly understand, what is there at one time and one place, could it be that the Great Snow Mountain kills the enemy on the battlefield, but is the defeated?"

The swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain may not want to kill people by swinging his sword, many times it is just a way to express his emotions, Fang Wen knew this, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, pretending to bow his head and think, put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, and stayed away from Long Xiaoshi, and said: "Let me make an analogy, in the past few years, the five peaks of the Great Snow Mountain have fought endlessly, and there have been victories and defeats between them, but compared with the old enemy Jinpeng Castle, isn't it a complete defeat......?"

Before Fang Wen finished speaking, the five patriarchs showed their heavy swords together and scolded in unison, Fang Wen knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly moved closer to the Dragon King, and swallowed the remaining half of his words.

Gu Shenwei raised his hand to stop the angry patriarchs, "Those who don't know are not guilty." Then he turned to the frightened military advisor, "Fang Wen is, the five peaks of the Great Snow Mountain are one, and the past cannot be mentioned again, forgive you for your ignorance of the first offense, and it will not be investigated, and the second offense will be a capital crime." ”

Fang Wen apologized, but his heart suddenly reminded, reminding himself that when dealing with this group of barbarian mountain people, you have to be careful, don't die in an inexplicable thing before you succeed in your hegemony, "Let me change the analogy, two countries A and B, country A 100,000 elite soldiers, send 10,000, country B 20,000 elite soldiers, also send 10,000, after the war, country A's entire army is annihilated, country B loses 5,000, who wins and who loses?"

This sounded more like a matter of arithmetic, the patriarchs scoffed, and Long Xiaoshi replied: "Of course, Country B wins, even if there is only one person left, and the enemy is completely destroyed, it is also Country B's victory." ”

"But country A only lost 100,000 elite soldiers, but country B's 20,000 elite soldiers lost a quarter of them, although this battle was won, what about the second, third, and fourth battles?"

The patriarchs felt that the strategist's words were a bit reasonable, and they all bowed their heads, thinking about how to refute them.

Fang Wen took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued: "For example, if a country drives straight into the enemy country for a long time, burns and loots, and obtains a large amount of spoils, but loses half of its men and horses, so that it has no strength to send troops again in the coming year, will it win or lose?

The patriarchs slowly understood what the military advisor meant, and the Falling God Peak Patriarch Long Zhuying was much more polite when he spoke again, "Mr. Fang doesn't need to be 'for example' anymore, let's talk about our Great Snow Mountain, Jinpeng Castle, and Shule Country." ”

Fang Wen is first battle victory, confidence greatly increased, glanced at the silent Dragon King, and continued: "Daxue Mountain has won three consecutive battles, but not an inch of land has been gained, Shule is a big country in the Western Regions, and the loss of thousands of people is not a problem, and the next ten battles and a hundred battles can be afforded, what about Daxue Mountain? Dozens of people will die in every battle, and if you keep fighting, how many people will be left?"

The swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain was not used to lying, and when Fang Wen asked him this, he blushed a little, and Long Xiaoshi coughed twice, "Five thousand is no, about three thousand." ”

"Three thousand? This is an imaginary number, but what about a real number?"

Long Xiaoshi couldn't speak, bowed his head and said nothing, Gu Shenwei interjected: "There are 1,200 people, 1,500 horses, sometimes more and sometimes less." ”

Fang Wen is talking to the Dragon King last night was mostly about the overall situation of the Western Regions, and he didn't know much about the details, and when he heard that the number of people was so small, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, and then he thought about it, he had been dormant for many years, and he finally got appreciated, although he couldn't show his strength, it was still okay to try the knife, so he shook his head, "With more than a thousand people and horses to fight against the Shule Kingdom, I'm afraid you will never have the opportunity to see Jinpeng Castle, it's better to disperse, the Great Snow Mountain is thousands of miles away, everyone is the same as before, hide in it and die for life, wouldn't it be better?"

The patriarchs rarely followed suit with the strategists, and when they were provoked, they were angry, and they all showed their heavy swords, and scolded them repeatedly, the patriarch of the Great Sword Peak was a bearded and strong man, with a violent temper, and he had been enduring it in front of the Dragon King and the old patriarch of the Falling God Peak, Long Eagle, and at this time, he couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the low table in front of him, knelt down, and raised his eyebrows angrily, "Boy, do you look down on the Great Snow Mountain?" Let's make a bet, within three years, if I can't climb Jinpeng Castle, the head will be given to you, and if you board, you will give me the head!"

Fang Wen took a few steps closer to the Dragon King, thinking that sooner or later he would have to set some rules for these swordsmen, otherwise, it would be really dangerous for him to be a powerless scholar to get mixed in, but he was fearless on the surface, but instead raised his head and laughed, "This bet is too easy, as long as you become a prisoner, you will naturally have a chance to board Jinpeng Castle." ”

The patriarch of the Great Sword Peak stood up angrily, raised his heavy sword with one hand, and shouted angrily, he was about to behead the military advisor who had just taken office for less than a day, Fang Wen was overused in anger, and he was also startled, and jumped in front of the dragon king in one step.

The Dragon King didn't speak, and the Falling God Peak Patriarch hurriedly got up and blocked the angry Great Sword Peak Patriarch, "Are you crazy?

The patriarch of the Great Sword Peak was shocked, they once swore loyalty to the Dragon King, one of them was that they could not kill people at will in the Dragon King's tent, so they lowered their heavy swords and muttered, the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain were not very good at apologizing, and only they could hear what they said.

The dragon king still didn't speak, a small turmoil was over, Fang Wen was a little relieved, and turned his head to see Chu Nanping still standing with a sword, but his eyes were looking at himself.

Chu Nanping said coldly: "The Dragon King is forbidden to enter within five steps. ”

Fang Wen originally thought that there were no rules in the Great Snow Mountain, but then he realized that he was actually not familiar with the rules here, remembering that when he talked at night last night, the Dragon King had kept a distance from him, so he took a few steps back, coughed a few times, and sorted out the interrupted thoughts.

Long Xiaoshi, the one-eyed patriarch of Danduofeng, opened his mouth to play a round, "Listening to the meaning of the military advisor, there must be a clever plan to break through Jinpeng Castle." ”

"There is no magic plan. Fang Wen couldn't change the problem of picking out words, and he regretted it as soon as he said it, so he hurriedly added: "But there are still some roughly." May I ask you, who does the enmity between Shule Kingdom and Jinpeng Castle and Daxue Mountain have a deeper enmity?"

Although Fang Wenshi claimed not to participate in revenge, he also knew how to improvise, and it was useless to say "domineering" to the swordsman of Daxue Mountain, he had to say "the way of revenge".

"Of course, it's Jinpeng Castle, every family in Daxue Mountain has relatives who died under the knife of the Jinpeng killer, or young children were snatched away. Long Xiaoshi's answer was agreed by several other patriarchs, and they all nodded their heads with sad and angry expressions.

Although the Shule Kingdom sent troops to block the most important mountain passes in the Great Snow Mountain, the purpose was simple, just to prevent the mountain people from invading the border, unlike Jinpeng Fort, which sent a large number of spies and killers to the mountains to interfere in the war of various tribes.

"In this case, it would be a big mistake for Daxue Mountain to stay here and confront Shule Kingdom, and it would cost him strength in vain, but he would not hurt Jinpeng Castle at all. ”

"Then what can I do? Daxue Mountain and Jinpeng Fort are separated from the entire Shule country, and if you want to attack Jinpeng Fort, you must first defeat Shule. Long Xiaoshi spread his hands and felt that this was a very simple truth.

"No, no, no. Fang Wenshi shook his head again and again, "Shule is a big country, how easy is it to defeat it? If you want me to say, instead of holding unrealistic ideas, it is better to take a step back, make peace with Shule, and use the road to go straight to Jinpeng Castle." ”

"You mean to surrender to Shule?" The Great Sword Peak Patriarch wanted to shoot the case again, but found that the table in front of him had become a piece of land, and his palm had to make a pressing motion.

"Of course not, for example, if you learn to use a sword, don't you also take a light sword first, then change to a middle sword, and finally change to a heavy sword? Shule is a super heavy sword, and if Daxue Mountain wants to wield it, he must first be able to afford the ordinary heavy sword of Jinpeng Castle. ”

Fang Wen yes's "for example" worked again, the patriarch of the Great Sword Peak stopped squeaking, and the old patriarch of the Falling God Peak, Long Zhuying, spoke: "What Mr. Fang said makes sense, but the Shule Kingdom is at war with the Great Snow Mountain, and it is the same as Jinpeng Castle, how can it be borrowed from us?"

Fang Wen is head held high, if he can't even do this kind of trivial thing, what kind of lobbyist and strategist can he be?" Fang Mou was not talented, recommended himself to enter the Shule country, persuaded the king to stop the army, and borrowed the road to the Great Snow Mountain. ”

The five patriarchs looked at each other, not believing the poor scholar's wild words, Long Xiaoshi frowned and said, "Just your mouth?"

"Of course, but I have a few small requests. ”

"Speak. The five patriarchs spoke at the same time.

"One car, ten guards, gold - ten thousand taels. ”
