Chapter 337: The Great War is Imminent
"Immediately send 50,000 people in disguise, all of them disguised as business travelers and scattered to Chongzhou and the surrounding cities to inquire about the news, and report back as soon as there is news" Xiao Yu quickly responded.
"Yes!" commanded the generals. It is unheard of to send 50,000 people to be spies at once, but extraordinary means are used in extraordinary times, and no one questions Xiao Yu's order. 50,000 people soon scattered to the major cities in Chongzhou and the surrounding areas.
Facts have proved that Xiao Yu's decision is undoubtedly quite wise, 50,000 spies are scattered, even if the enemy knows that it is Xiao Yu's spies sent out, it is unrealistic to want to arrest so many people at the same time, there will always be people who will pass on the information.
In fact, as soon as the 50,000 spies went out, they heard a lot of news that Xiao Yu couldn't get when he stayed in the army, Long Xiaofeng's 300,000 army was indeed not in Chongzhou City, and all the guards in Chongzhou City were arranged by the previous demons.
From the analysis of the intelligence sent back by spies from all over the country, the generals came to an astonishing conclusion that Long Xiaofeng's 300,000 troops were lurking around the border of Tianyi Prefecture, that is to say, these 300,000 people were hiding behind Xiao Yu's army.
"Hiding behind?" Xue Yong pondered, "Is this an attempt to surprise us by surprise?"
"Even if he surprises us, but with only 300,000 men and horses, what can he do by surprise? At best, he can destroy hundreds of thousands of my soldiers and horses, can he still destroy my millions of men and horses?" Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Obviously, since the other party is a master of using soldiers, it is impossible not to see this, so what is the purpose of his doing this?"
"Could it be that there are other people under Long Xiaofeng, more than these 300,000 people," Zhou Qing suddenly reminded in a loud voice.
"Well, it's very likely" Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Since 300,000 sneak attacks can't take advantage, then it is obvious that the other party still has other back-ups, that is to say, the other party must have more than 300,000 people in his hands, but how many soldiers and horses will there be? We don't know, this is the most headache."
"If there are other people on the other side who are ambushed, the 50,000 spies we sent out will definitely be able to find out their whereabouts, and I believe there will be news soon," Ye Rufeng comforted.
"It's hard to say!" Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and analyzed, "Fifty thousand spies have been scattered for two days, it stands to reason that if they could be discovered, they would definitely have found out a long time ago, and they haven't been discovered for so long, either the other party has hidden deep enough, or"
Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, his heart immediately became vigilant, and he immediately ordered, "Send another 100,000 spies out, don't be limited to the surroundings of Chongzhou City, zoom in on the search area, don't even let go of the Immortal Sea, take the Chongzhou Wharf as the center, and go deep into the Immortal Sea for at least three hundred miles! If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."
"Yes!" Seeing Xiao Yu's solemn face, the generals knew the seriousness of the matter, and did not dare to slack off, and 100,000 spies in disguise quickly spread out.
"The general is worried about a strong enemy?" asked the general on the left tentatively.
"It's still hard to say!" Xiao Yu glanced around at the generals, and said slowly, "Since my army stepped into the Kyushu continent, the ghost clan forces have completely disappeared, according to the spies, it is said that the ghost clan heard that my army is going to the underworld, and all of them have returned to the underworld, just at this time, Long Xiaofeng announced in a high-profile manner that the 300,000 demon army will make a decision with me, which has to make people think deeply."
"Big brother is worried that Long Xiaofeng is secretly arranging a joint arrangement with the ghost clan army, and has set up a pocket for us to drill into it?" Xue Yong wondered.
"It's not impossible," Xiao Yu analyzed, "Everyone knows that after I destroy the Demon Realm, the next target is the Ghost Race and the Demon Race, and it is not a scarce thing for these two races to unite against me at this time!"
"If that's the case, what are we going to do?" said Jos, the general on the right, worriedly.
Xiao Yu beckoned everyone to walk to the front of the combat sand table, pointed to Chongzhou City and explained, "Now the vanguard of our Northern Army has been stationed outside Chongzhou City, forming a joint encirclement of Chongzhou City, and the main force of our army has also entered Chongzhou. I think there must be two reasons, first, the other side wants to use Chongzhou City as bait and our army to attack Chongzhou City as a signal, as long as we attack Chongzhou City as soon as we start to attack Chongzhou City, the other side will immediately take action and flank our army in front and back, so that our army will suffer from the enemy. Two, the other party is not quite ready!"
Xiao Yu paused, and then said, "However, since our army's high-profile march into the Kyushu Continent, nearly a week has passed, and a week is enough time for the other party to prepare, so obviously the second possibility is ruled out, not that the other party is not ready, but it is not yet the time for the other party to attack, however, there is one thing that is very strange."
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Rufeng asked. When the generals heard this, they also gathered around and humbly received the teaching.
"The fighter plane is changing rapidly, if the other party really sets up a pocket formation and wants to catch us off guard, the best time is when we have just arrived in Chongzhou City and don't know anything about the other party's plan, why didn't they do it at that time?" Xiao Yu asked rhetorically.
"Could it really be that the other party is not ready?" Ye Rufeng wondered.
"No matter what the situation is, collect the information sent back by the spies as soon as possible, and prepare for battle in advance!" Xiao Yu ordered urgently.
"Yes!" The generals were immediately ordered to prepare to go.
Soon, the spies on the Wuxian Sea sent back information, and found a large amount of ghost qi on the Wuxian Sea one hundred and fifty miles away from the Chongzhou Wharf, and it was very likely that the army of the ghost clan was hiding here, but because they were afraid of revealing their identities, these spies did not get too close, and they could not estimate the number of the army of the ghost clan, which was roughly calculated at about one million.
Sure enough! Xiao Yu sneered, and actually arranged a pocket array, waiting for himself to drill in.
Xiao Yu quickly took out the demon bell and asked Bai Qi if there were any traces of the transfer of troops in the underworld recently, Bai Qi told Xiao Yu that the Purple Armor Army had almost been dispatched recently, and the local army under General Aotie also had nearly 600,000 people dispatched, counting the underworld army sent to the Kyushu continent before, a total of nearly 1.5 million people participated in this ambush battle.
Purple Armor Army! Xiao Yu sneered, Purple Armor Chihiro! Purple Armor Chihiro, I deliberately let you go before, but I didn't expect you to be a thief, and you actually colluded with the demon clan to deal with Lao Tzu, this time I want Lao Tzu to catch you again, I have to cramp and peel your skin.
Since you want to play, Lao Tzu will accompany you to play a big game! Xiao Yu took out another demon bell and quickly contacted the Carp Emperor of the Styx Carp Clan, "Your Majesty the Carp Emperor! Xiao has something to ask for help, Your Majesty!" Since he knew the true identity of the Carp Emperor, Xiao Yu has become more and more calm when he looks for the Carp Emperor, and he has no guilt at all.
"What's the matter? Xiao Shaoxia, please speak! As long as it is within the deity's ability, the deity will do his best," the Lihuang replied.
Xiao Yu: "I want to attack the underworld, please help the carp emperor!"
Emperor Li: "Attack the Underworld?" Although Emperor Lihuang knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Xiao Yu: "That's right! Attack the Underworld!"
The carp emperor was silent for a long time before replying, "When?"
Xiao Yu: "Three days later!"
Carp Emperor: ""
This time, Xiao Yu waited for a stick of incense before seeing the carp emperor reply, "How do you need me to cooperate with you?"
Xiao Yu was overjoyed in his heart, although he had always suspected that the Emperor was the dark line planted by the Eastern Emperor in the underworld, but he could not confirm that this time the Emperor was willing to agree with him to cooperate with his actions, which undoubtedly proved his guess, the Emperor was indeed his own person.
"Wait for my news!" After Xiao Yu cut off contact with the Lihuang, he took out another demon bell again, but this time it was a brahmin who contacted him.
"Brother Xiao is still so funny, you are my savior, naturally remember!" said Brahmin.
Xiao Yu: "I've been in some trouble lately, I want to ask a beautiful woman for a favor, I don't know if the beautiful woman is willing to help me?"
Brahmin "Brother Xiao doesn't have to be polite to me, you are my savior, your business is my business, say, how can I help you?"
Xiao Yu: "Wait for my news!"
After speaking, Xiao Yu once again severed the connection with the Brahmin Underworld, and took out the demon bell that was connected to Bai Qi and shook it, "How many centaurs do you have in your hands now?"
Bai Qi: "All of them add up to less than 200,000! What? Is the master going to act? Come on, I can't wait for a long time!" This is indeed true, Bai Qi's cultivation relies on a large amount of Yin Qi, although the Yin Qi in the underworld is heavier, it is still not as fast as cultivating on the battlefield full of corpses, therefore, he can't wait for Xiao Yu to start a new war.
Xiao Yu: "Don't worry! I will send a team to assist you then, you must take the Black Wind Pass as soon as possible, and quickly clear the surrounding forces, cutting off the path from the underworld to the yang world!"
"No problem!" Bai Qi replied.
"Okay! After taking the Black Wind Pass, we must block the pass, and no people from the underworld will be allowed to come out, and no people from the Yang world will be allowed to enter!" Xiao Yu solemnly ordered.
"Yes, master!"
After ending the call with Bai Qi, Xiao Yu contacted Brahmin Ming again, and asked him to immediately lead the army of 300,000 Silla royal families to Heifengling to cooperate with Bai Qi's actions. Subsequently, he instructed the Emperor to immediately lead an attack on Twilight and encourage more Styx to rebel. The Lihuang secretly scolded the madman, but he did not refute Xiao Yu's plan, but carried it out according to Xiao Yu's instructions.
After doing all this, Xiao Yu sneered in his heart, "Little girl, come on! I have enough fun with you this time, I hope you can still be so arrogant when the time comes."
"Big brother, the spies have come to report that the 300,000 demon army hidden in Tianyi Prefecture has signs of activity."
"Big brother, the army of the ghost clan on the Immortalless Sea shows signs of activity!"
Nie Hong and Ye Rufeng hurriedly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported to Xiao Yu.
