Just as the members of the Alliance of Mountains and Seas were at a stalemate, Mu Lanyue suddenly stepped forward.
When her brothers and sisters were discussing, Mu Lanyue would usually sit at the side and listen quietly. When she stood up, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The young girl was heartless and did not have stage fright. She said in a sweet voice, "Actually, I think Sir Gong You is right. The key lies in the mutant army."
"Hmm?"
"Haven't we discussed this before? They won't be able to break the stalemate." Siege Lion said casually.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand to stop the discussion. He smiled at Mu Lanyue and said encouragingly, "Yue Yue, you must have some new ideas? Tell me about it. "
"Yes." With Ouyang Shuo's encouragement, Mu Lanyue was even more confident. She continued, "I think my brothers and sisters have fallen into the same mindset. They believe that the Zhao Kingdom's mutant army will be like us, arriving at the Zhao Kingdom's main camp and staying with the main army. What if Gaia did not make such an arrangement and instead stationed the mutant army at the Stone Wall behind the Zhao Kingdom's camp? What will happen? "
Ouyang Shuo was shocked. A bolt of lightning flashed across his mind. All the mysteries seemed to vanish into thin air. He looked up in bewilderment and happened to meet Ju Sheng's gaze.
For a moment, everyone was stunned by Mu Lanyue's bold idea.
"This, this, this doesn't conform to the war's setting, right?" Siege Lion said without confidence.
Xunlong shook his head and said seriously, "The Stone Wall is one of the main camps of the Zhao Kingdom. If Gaia really made such an arrangement, it does not violate the war's setting."
Ouyang Shuo was almost certain that the biggest variable had been solved by Mu Lanyue. He looked at Mu Lanyue with relief and gave her a silent compliment. He then turned to Ju Sheng and said, "Sir Gong You, please use Yue Yue's hypothesis to predict the course of the war."
Although the others knew that something was wrong if the mutant army arrived at the Stone Wall, they could not tell how it would affect the war.
Only Ju Sheng could solve this problem.
Ju Sheng composed himself, and after some calculations in his mind, he said, "If the enemy's mutant army really does descend at the pass, then it will be very beneficial to the State of Zhao. They have two choices. One is to send troops to attack Ying Bao's troops north of the Great Stone Wall and defeat them, reopening the road to Handan. Secondly, they can work together with the main force of the Zhao army and attack Wang Ling's army from the north and south, defeating them and restoring the communication channel between the main force of the Zhao army and the old pass, allowing the Zhao army to escape. They could even first defeat Ying Bao's troops, then coordinate with the main force to attack Wang Ling's troops. No matter what, we can break the cage set by the Calm Martial Lord Bai Qi. "
After listening to Ju Sheng's analysis, the tent fell silent once more.
"Sir, there's something I don't understand." Feng Qiuhuang said solemnly, "Attacking Ying Bao's tribe is reasonable. But to cooperate with the main force of the Zhao army to attack Wang Ling's troops, what was the difference between this and them landing in the main camp of the Zhao army? Isn't it all the same? "
"Otherwise." Ju Shou explained confidently, "The main defence of the camp built by Wang Ling's troops is the Zhao army's main force in the South West direction. As for the defenders at the Old Pass in the North, because of Ying Bao's troops, they will not be able to defend against them. Defending one side and defending two sides at the same time, the pressure of defending one side cannot be compared. In history, the Old Pass once sent thirty thousand infantry to attack Wang Ling's troops and almost succeeded. Think about it, if you add in the forty thousand mutant soldiers, seventy to eighty thousand soldiers will be able to charge out of the Old Pass. This subordinate estimates that before reinforcements arrive, Wang Ling's troops will be completely annihilated. "
Ju Shou's analysis was incisive and hard to refute.
Ouyang Shuo looked around and said, "Now that things have come to this, we need to prepare for the worst. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if the main force of the Zhao army manages to break through, they will have to pay a heavy price. The scales of victory will still tilt towards Qin. Therefore, there is no need for everyone to be discouraged. Prepare what you need to do. " He looked at Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang, then said, "I'll leave the matter of contacting the other lords to you."
Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Alright, everyone can disperse. I need to go out and see the Calm Martial Lord."
"This is only our speculation without any proof. Will the Calm Martial Lord believe you?" Bai Hua was slightly worried.
"No matter what, we have to give it a try." Ouyang Shuo was also uncertain, but his expression was firm.
Ju Shou walked over and said, "Marquis, before you meet the Calm Martial Lord, this subordinate suggests that Marquis pay a visit to Guang Lang City's General Meng Ao. No matter what, he is our direct superior."
Ouyang Shuo was startled and said embarrassedly, "Mister is right, I was rude."
General Meng Ao's residence was located in Guang Lang City's yamen. With Ouyang Shuo's identity as a mutant representative, his journey was naturally smooth. Soon, he met Bai Qi's subordinate.
Meng Ao was known for his steadiness and meticulousness in battle. Thus, Bai Qi entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of guarding the southern line against the Zhao army's Deputy General Zhao Zhuang. No matter how Zhao Zhuang attacked, Meng Ao stood firm.
In history, Meng Ao had served under King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen, King Zhuangxiang, and Emperor Qin. He had led the army on numerous expeditions and achieved many military merits.
Not only that, Meng Ao's son, Meng Wu, and grandsons, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, were the backbone of Qin. Three generations of the Meng Family served Qin, conquering cities and conquering lands. They had contributed greatly to Emperor Qin's unification of the six states.
"How can a mutant be without clothes? I pay my respects to General!" Ouyang Shuo did not dare to be negligent.
In truth, Meng Ao did not attach much importance to the Qin army of thirty thousand mutants. The meeting with Ouyang Shuo was just a routine one. There was no intention of getting close.
Meng Ao nodded lightly and asked, "Why do you want to see this general?"
Ouyang Shuo could sense Meng Ao's intention of distancing himself, but for the sake of victory, he continued, "Reporting to General, I am here to report military intelligence."
When the military intelligence was mentioned, Meng Ao was startled. He did not dare to be negligent and said seriously, "What military intelligence is there? Quickly tell me! "
"General should know that our mutant army has arrived at the Qin and Zhao camps. According to reports, the Zhao camp has forty-two thousand mutants. As for their encampment, we do not know. "
Meng Ao's eyes turned cold. "This is your so-called military intelligence? Nonsense! The main force of the Zhao army has been surrounded by us. They are running low on rations and can only last for ten days. Even if there are forty thousand mutants, it will only increase the consumption of rations. It will only bring harm to the situation. So what if it's worth it for you to come and meet me. "
Meng Ao was enraged. A monstrous aura unconsciously spread out from his body. As a general, he killed many people. Not to mention the fact that he was a general of the Qin army.
Ouyang Shuo felt his body turn cold. A bloody smell assaulted his face. He instantly fell into a sea of blood. Fortunately, he was not a newbie on the battlefield. He had seen blood and had consecrated light before. The Inner Canon of the Yellow Thearch in his body circulated on its own, dispelling Meng Ao's bloody aura without causing him any discomfort.
In truth, in just a blink of an eye, Ouyang Shuo returned to normal.
Meng Ao's eyes narrowed. He could control his aura freely. The reason he did that was to show Ouyang Shuo his strength. He wanted to let him know that the army was not a game and he could not do as he pleased.
What he didn't expect was that the young man in front of him, who was young and had a delicate appearance, would actually be able to easily neutralize his might without moving an inch. Only now did he know that the person opposite him was not simple.
Ouyang Shuo knew that his actions had finally gained Meng Ao's respect. The latter no longer looked down on him and was willing to listen to his opinion. Why else would it be said that strength was the most important in the army.
Gaining respect didn't mean that he could convince Meng Ao.
Ouyang Shuo continued to speak humbly. "General doesn't know that our mutant army does not always descend at a fixed location. If the mutant army descends at the pass, it will be a huge variable. We have to be on guard. "
What kind of person was Meng Ao? He instantly understood what Ouyang Shuo meant. If the pass really increased forty thousand soldiers, it would have a huge effect on the situation.
He didn't dare to be slow. "Do you have evidence?"
In the army, information came first. It was a taboo to make decisions without evidence.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and simply said, "This is just a guess, there is no evidence."
"Just based on your speculation, how can it be counted?" Meng Ao's expression turned ugly again. It was a good thing he knew how important this matter was and Ouyang Shuo was not a person who spoke without thinking, so he didn't explode again.
This was Ouyang Shuo's brilliance. He knew that this kind of important information related to the war, whether it was verified or not, as a general of the army, Meng Ao would not and could not easily ignore it. Therefore, he did not make up any evidence and directly admitted that this was just his guess.
"Although it is only a guess, there is a fifty percent chance of it being true. General, this matter is related to the entire war. Should we report it to the Calm Martial Ruler? "
Ouyang Shuo's words were a taboo in the army. He was asking his superior to report to a higher rank. If Ouyang Shuo was really Meng Ao's subordinate, then he was courting death.
Ouyang Shuo was also helpless. The battlefield was constantly changing and he was worried that if Meng Ao hesitated, he would miss the best time to report. If the Calm Martial Ruler did not have the information in time and the Zhao army succeeded, wouldn't that be bad?
As expected, Meng Ao's eyes turned cold and he looked at Ouyang Shuo with an unfriendly gaze. If he didn't know that these mutants would not stay here for long, he would have exploded.
Facing Meng Ao's cold gaze, Ouyang Shuo did not feel any fear and his attitude was firm.
"Fine, come with me to see the Calm Martial Ruler!" It was unknown what Meng Ao thought of, but he finally compromised. (To be continued.)
