Chapter 1549

Chen Ning thought about it and said, "Since these two cities are this important, have you sent any generals?"

Mo Chuan shook his head and said, "I told you yesterday that I don't have any generals I can use. The generals of these two cities were originally stationed in these cities. Although the South Yue Kingdom has been eyeing our West Chu for ten years, they have never attacked us. I'm worried that they will slack off, so I've already sent people to remind them to be on guard against a sneak attack from the South Yue Kingdom. Only the capital is from the southern pass and Shuang Lu Kingdom, even if they send a report on horseback, it will take five days. I don't know if they will make it in time."

"What, it will take five days?" Chen Ning couldn't help taking in a cold breath. She pointed at a pass on the map and said, "Didn't you say last time that Chu Shao Yang might attack from this mountain road? Would he abandon this road and attack the southern pass and Shuang Lu Kingdom instead? "

Mo Chuan said, "That's right, if he wants to launch a sneak attack, he can use this road to enter our West Chu territory. Moreover, there are very few people who know about this road. They have horses that are good at crossing mountains, so this road is the most suitable. However, this mountain road has a fatal weakness. Look here ….."

He pointed at a place on the map. Chen Ning looked at it and said, "This shape looks like a gourd!"

"That's right, this place is called the gourd's mouth because it is shaped like a gourd. Last time I said that there are several mountain roads that lead to my West Chu's hinterland, but they all lead to the same destination. No matter which mountain road they take, they will eventually pass through this gourd's mouth. As long as I can set up an ambush near the gourd's mouth, I can defeat them. Since Chu Shao Yang is familiar with military books and the terrain here, he won't make this kind of mistake. Unless he doesn't put me in his eyes at all, he would choose this path. But to be safe, I have already sent people to set up an ambush here. If Chu Shao Yang doesn't come, then it's fine, but if he really wants to attack me from the gourd's mouth, then I'll make him suffer!"

His right hand formed a fist and he slammed it on the map, speaking in a powerful voice.

Chen Ning couldn't help looking up and looking at Mo Chuan with a strange gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Mo Chuan was a bit surprised.

"Mo Chuan, you've only studied military books for a night, but you've already learned this much. I really admire you!"

Mo Chuan revealed a faint smile and stroked her hair, "I've only learned a few things in the military books and there are many strategies in there, but I haven't thought about how to use them yet. I've learned a few things in there. Chuan are the key to opening my West Chu territory. As long as he controls the southern pass and Lu, the South Yue will will can enter and my West Chu will be."

He paused before saying, "So other than this gourd mouth, the Southern Pass and Shuang Lu cities are Chu Shao Yang's other choices. These two cities are the keys to my West Chu and as long as he occupies the Southern Pass and Shuang Lu, the South Yue army will be able to enter and my West Chu will be in danger."

"In this way, the Southern Pass and Shuanglu Cities are of utmost importance, and they can't be lost no matter what, right? Since it's like this, you should send a capable general to defend the city. If the court really doesn't have a general, I'm willing to recommend myself. "Chen Ning said after thinking about it.
