Chu Mo couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He looked at the emperor and Fang Mingtong in shock, "Who else knows about this?"
Fang Mingtong looked at the Emperor and fell silent.
Chu Mo's gaze fell on the Emperor.
The Emperor also fell silent and shook his head, "No matter who else knows about this, I'm afraid this news … has already been leaked! Otherwise, Da Qi wouldn't have such confidence. They chose to let their million-strong army pass through there secretly. "
Fang Mingtong said, "Moreover, behind Da Qi, there is an 80 to 90 percent chance that … there is a big sect behind them. They want to pass through there and catch us off guard. But the existence of that secret passage will also be exposed. It seems that … Da Qi has the intention to completely destroy us this time. They don't even care about such a great benefit. "
The Emperor's expression became extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "So the problem now is not about the top grade primordial stones in the lode. Since Da Qi already knows about that place, there is no reason for them not to know that it is a primordial stone lode. Now the most serious problem in front of us is how to deal with their army! "
Chu Mo looked at the Emperor and Fang Mingtong and thought to himself, "It seems that the Emperor and Fang Mingtong don't want to send people to the Tian Duan Mountain Range with great fanfare. It's not that they don't have the troops, but that they can't alert the enemy! If they don't consider the matter of the lode and only fight with wits and courage, the best way is to beat them at their own game and give them a head-on blow!
But at this time, the military intelligence departments of both sides must be paying close attention to the movements of the other side's army. Da Xia's military intelligence department could monitor Da Qi and obtain information about their army movements. How could Da Qi's side … not do the same?
As for how Da Qi's million-strong army could hide from Da Xia's military intelligence department … this was not a problem that Chu Mo needed to consider. This was Old Fang's problem!
Seeing that both the Emperor and Fang Mingtong were silent, Chu Mo scratched his head and said, "Well, I have an immature idea. I don't know if I should say it."
"Speak!" Fang Mingtong and the Emperor said in unison. Even when he looked at Chu Mo, his eyes were filled with eagerness.
The corner of Chu Mo's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, Are you two suitable?
"How long is that tunnel? If a million soldiers entered, does it mean that the ones in front have already exited the tunnel … and the ones behind haven't entered yet?" Chu Mo looked at Fang Mingtong and asked softly, "Or is it possible to include the entire army of a million soldiers?"
"That vein spans across the entire Broken Heaven Mountain Range!" Fang Mingtong said in a deep voice: "From our side, it goes all the way to Da Qi!"
As Fang Mingtong spoke, he walked towards a map that was hung on the wall of the imperial study. He pointed at a huge mountain range and said: "It's here. Look, this tunnel goes from here … to here! It's a total of more than 170 miles. Even if a million soldiers entered, they wouldn't be able to occupy much of the tunnel. "
Chu Mo nodded: "If that's the case … then, how many people do we have there? I mean … if I'm not wrong, the people who are digging for primordial stones over there … should be soldiers from the army, right? Only these people can truly keep this a secret. "
The Emperor nodded and looked at Chu Mo approvingly: "We have a total of more than 12,000 people over there! These people are all the strong young men of the Great Xia Dynasty. Moreover, there is no doubt about their loyalty! "
"More than 12,000 people …" Fang Mingtong sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If it wasn't for that brat Chu Mo bringing back this news, I'm afraid these people would have been instantly annihilated by Da Qi's million soldiers … they wouldn't even have the chance to fight back."
Chu Mo slightly raised his eyebrows: "I'm not too sure what that tunnel looks like. Is it suitable for war?"
Fang Mingtong said: "At that time, for convenience, we dug a very large tunnel! It's more than 300 meters wide and more than 30 meters tall. It's very spacious. If we were to plot against them, I'm afraid our people wouldn't be able to react in time. The enemy would only need two volleys of arrows to kill them all. "
Chu Mo thought about it and agreed. If they didn't react at all, then they wouldn't even have any weapons! Who would carry weapons of war with them when they were mining?
"In other words, if we were to quietly transfer a group of people from the army now, it's very likely that the enemy would notice it. Is that right?" Chu Mo asked.
"That's right. Da Qi's military intelligence department is not to be trifled with … Speaking of which, it's tantamount to us losing to them this time!" Fang Mingtong said sadly: "If it wasn't for your news … I'm afraid there would have been a big problem!"
The Emperor rubbed his forehead and said: "Now isn't the time to look into who's responsible. Moreover, I didn't expect this kind of thing … Heh. Even if Da Qi's military intelligence department isn't that powerful, we still wouldn't dare to easily transfer people. This motherf * cker … a traitor … is always more frightening than an outsider! "
The corner of Chu Mo's mouth twitched violently. He hadn't expected that he would one day hear the Emperor cursing someone. This showed how angry the Emperor was at this moment.
Moreover … a traitor? Who was he talking about?
Chu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought to himself: I'm afraid there are no more than ten people in Da Xia who are qualified to know about this matter!
These people all stand at the peak of power in Da Xia. There's no reason for them to harm their motherland.
What good would it do him if Da Xia perished? Da Qi can't possibly hand over Da Xia, which they had painstakingly conquered, to this person as the Emperor, can they? Anyone with a brain wouldn't believe it.
Except … one person!
A figure suddenly flashed in Chu Mo's mind. Then, he was shocked by his own idea. He thought to himself: No wonder the Emperor didn't say who it was … This matter is really not something I can participate in.
Then, Chu Mo frowned slightly and said: "I have an idea … But it's not very mature."
"What idea do you have?" Fang Mingtong looked at Chu Mo.
The Emperor also looked at Chu Mo with the same burning eyes: "Whether it's mature or not … Let's hear it."
Chu Mo looked at Fang Mingtong and said softly: "For the time being, let's not consider the fate of the mineral vein. I have an idea to deal with the million-strong army of Da Qi." Chu Mo looked at Fang Mingtong and said: "No matter how spacious that passage is, its ventilation conditions … may not be very good, right?"
Fang Mingtong's eyes flashed as if he had thought of something. He said in a low voice: "There will be a vent at regular intervals."
"Well, then, we should block all these vents. In a short period of time … it shouldn't affect the ventilation in the passage, right? "Chu Mo asked.
At this time, even the Emperor seemed to have realized something. His eyes were full of hope.
