To the east of Guang Lang City, there was a mountain range with lush forests. It was rarely visited by humans but frequented by wolves. The Han and Zhao people called it Wolf Mountain. This Wolf Mountain Range ran from northwest to southeast, almost parallel to the Dan River. Its terrain was higher than that of Guang Lang City and Changping Pass. It was obviously the highest part of the Dan River valley. Other than the trees and caves, the Wolf Mountain Range was mostly flat and wide. Looking from the top, the view was very wide.
In terms of location, Wolf Mountain and Guang Lang City were in the middle of the Qin army's Old Horse Ridge camp, facing the Zhao army's mansion to the north of Changping Pass.
Ouyang Shuo followed behind Meng Ao and walked up Wolf Mountain. After three years of confrontation, the wolves had disappeared without a trace. Only the white dung that could be seen everywhere under their feet was the mark of the former wolves' rule.
The Lord of Martial Peace Bai Qi's mansion was located in the largest cave on Wolf Mountain.
Under the jagged rocks of the cave wall, a huge bluestone slab was used as a table. On the wall, there was a large wooden drawing that was as tall as two people. The title of the drawing was: Shangdang Mountains and Rivers.
Under the big drawing was Bai Qi, who was sitting up straight. He wore a suit of fine iron armour, a black brocade cloak with golden threads, and wielded a heavy longsword that only an Iron Eagle Swordsman could possess. His temples were white like frost, and his body was as black as iron pillars. Two thick lines on his mouth protruded from his rough and dark face.
Seeing Bai Qi, Ouyang Shuo could not hide his excitement. Who was this person before him? He was the leader of the four great generals of the Warring States Period. He was known as the number one God of War, the Killing God Bai Qi.
In the Warring States Period, no one could compete with him.
In the end, he was sentenced to death by the King. This added a touch of sadness to the history of this God of War. Ouyang Shuo really had to thank Gaia for giving him the opportunity to talk to this legendary person from thousands of years ago.
"How can a man without clothes? Greetings, Lord of Martial Peace!" Ouyang Shuo followed behind Meng Ao and bowed.
Bai Qi raised his head. His triangular eyes were bright and full of expression. He looked at Meng Ao and said: "What are you doing here instead of guarding Guang Lang City?"
Meng Ao's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He repeated Ouyang Shuo's report.
Only now did Bai Qi notice Ouyang Shuo, who was standing behind Meng Ao. He frowned and said, "Are you confident?"
Bai Qi's disregard earlier had caused Ouyang Shuo to feel somewhat uncomfortable. As the lord of a territory and the noble Marquis of Lian Province, it had been a long time since he had tasted the feeling of being ignored.
Habit was really a lethal poison.
Ouyang Shuo adjusted his mentality and said respectfully, "I'm more than 50% sure."
Bai Qi nodded and remained silent. Truth be told, Bai Qi was not someone who did not understand etiquette. Earlier, he had intentionally ignored Ouyang Shuo because he wanted to take him down a notch and establish his prestige in the army.
As the Commander-in-Chief of the army, Bai Qi did not wish for an unruly army to exist. The sudden arrival of the Mutant Army was undoubtedly a sign of this. That was why he specially probed.
When Bai Qi saw that Ouyang Shuo had quickly adjusted his state of mind, he nodded slightly, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes. It was very important for a man to know when to yield and when to stand tall. He could always maintain a clear mind and recognize his own position.
Compared to Meng Ao, Bai Qi was much more decisive. He said, "In that case, this old man will immediately send an order to Wang Ling and let him send someone to verify. After the verification, we will make arrangements. "Bai Qi's decision was not inappropriate. Unverified information naturally could not be used as a basis for the Commander-in-Chief to make decisions.
However, Ouyang Shuo still felt somewhat uneasy. However, the Lord of Martial Peace had already made his decision, so there was no point in saying anything more. Ouyang Shuo could only follow Meng Ao down the mountain and return to the Light Wolf City encampment.
It was already afternoon when they returned.
After Ouyang Shuo returned, Bai Hua and the others once again came to his tent to inquire about the news. After sharing the results of this trip with his allies, he said, "The wood has already been turned into a boat. The only thing we can do now is to actively prepare for war."
After listening to the news brought by Ouyang Shuo, everyone's expression became somewhat dignified.
Only the Siege Lion was relatively optimistic. He said with a smile, "Hey, everyone, don't be so gloomy. Even if Di Chen's evil plan succeeds, at worst, we will just fight."
"Little lion, you've finally said something sensible." Xunlong Acupuncture, who was the most familiar with the Siege Lion, teased.
"Go go go!"
The two's teasing finally dissolved the heavy atmosphere in the tent.
Bai Hua also stood up and said, "Wuyi, the other 20 lords of Qin's camp have a total of 10500 soldiers, which is only half of our Mountain and Sea Alliance's. Feng Wu and I have done some calculations. In this army, there are only 3500 cavalry soldiers, and most of them are infantrymen. How do you think we should reorganize them? "
Ouyang Shuo had already expected this. He said, "In this battle, the Yan Huang Alliance is indeed a level higher than us. In the previous two battles, we, the Mountain and Sea Alliance, achieved such a glorious result. In the end, only a few lords trust us. "
"Wuyi, you don't have to be like this. The majority of the commoner lords have not been promoted to the county level. That is why this situation has occurred. "Bai Hua consoled.
"That's right." Feng Qiuhuang continued, "Wuyi, do you still remember Hua Huo?"
"Hua Huo?" Ouyang Shuo frowned and asked, "Feng Wu, are you talking about the historical general Chen Tang, the lord of Qing Yun Town?"
"That's right, that's him. However, it should be called Qingyun County now. This time, he still chose to be on our side. He is a lord worth roping in. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the troops they brought will be arranged accordingly. The 3,500 cavalrymen were placed under Zhang Liao's command, while the remaining infantrymen were placed under Chen Tang's command. In this battle, we are determined to send out our cavalry. We don't have the energy to take care of these infantry. "
"That's fine. Feng Wu and I were thinking the same thing before." Bai Hua nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, just say it directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush and ask for my opinion? Baihua, are you testing me? "Ouyang Shuo teased.
Bai Hua smiled sheepishly and didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Feng Qiuhuang smiled smugly and said coquettishly, "That's right, I'm testing you."
The atmosphere in the tent gradually became lively, and Ouyang Shuo felt relieved in his heart.
"Alright, everyone, return to your tents. Let's see what happens tomorrow!" Ouyang Shuo said.
"What else can it be? It will definitely be quiet for a few days before anything big happens. "
"I hope so!" Ouyang Shuo felt uneasy.
Zhao camp, Old Pass.
Just as Mulan Yue had guessed, Gaia had indeed set up the assembly point for the Zhao camp's Mutant Army at the checkpoint on the Hundred Mile Stone Wall.
In Di Chen's tent, the members of the Yan Huang Alliance had gathered.
"How was it, did everything go smoothly?" War Wolf asked Di Chen who had just returned from the Old Pass.
In the Yan Huang Alliance, Suicide Breaker had become estranged from Di Chen due to the Shanhai County incident, and Di Chen was gradually isolated. His only ally was Feng Qiuhuang's cousin, Feng Tianlie.
On the other hand, Lord Chunshen used the influence of the original Spring and Autumn Alliance to rope in Feng Qingyang, Xiong Ba and Piao Linghuan. In addition, Military Kill Breaker, who had been particularly close to him recently, occupied half of the Yan Huang Alliance.
In the Yan Huang Alliance, only War Wolf remained neutral and became the mediator between Di Chen and Lord Chunshen.
Therefore, although the Yan Huang Alliance did not have a leader, it was still led by Di Chen, Lord Chunshen and War Wolf, followed by Feng Qingyang and Xiong Ba, followed by Military Kill Breaker, Piao Linghuan and Feng Tianlie.
Di Chen naturally knew that because of Lord Chunshen's existence, his situation in the Yan Huang Alliance was very bad. Fortunately, with the help of Mu Ye's cautiousness, his achievement points had increased greatly. This time, he had successfully replaced Lord Chunshen as the representative of the Zhao camp, once again suppressing Lord Chunshen and gaining the upper hand.
In addition, the inside information about the Battle of Changping was also obtained by Di Chen's family. Therefore, in terms of the Battle of Changping, Di Chen still had the absolute authority, forcing Lord Chunshen to temporarily bow his head.
Di Chen did not hesitate to answer War Wolf's question, "Everything went smoothly, the Old Pass General has already agreed to our plan of action."
In order to prepare for the Battle of Changping, Di Chen and the rest had put in a lot of effort. With the help of War Wolf's many military advisors, before the battle even began, they had repeatedly deduced and formulated a complete set of action plans. If this plan could be successfully implemented, it would definitely help Zhao completely turn the situation around.
Hearing Di Chen's reply, the tent immediately became lively.
"That's great!"
"Hehe, this time, we must definitely teach Said Wuyi a lesson!"
"That's right, he won't have the chance to be in the limelight anymore. Just wait to go back with his tail between his legs!"
War Wolf frowned, not interested in his companion's excessive optimism. He could not help but say, "This is only the first step, isn't it a little too early to celebrate?! Think about it, how many times have we suffered at the hands of Said Wuyi? Haven't you learned your lesson? Anyone who looks down on him will not have a good ending. "
"War Wolf, aren't you overestimating the morale of others and diminishing your own?" Hearing this, Feng Qingyang was a little unhappy. "How can it be the same this time? We have the upper hand, we have the upper hand. In front of a million troops, Said Wuyi, no matter how capable he is, can he fly to the sky? "In the Yan Huang Alliance, Feng Qingyang was famous for his fearlessness. Only he dared to scold War Wolf like this.
"You!" War Wolf was originally not good with words, after being scolded by Feng Qingyang, his face turned red, and he was so anxious that he could not speak. In the end, he could only say, "You are useless!"
"Alright, alright, we're all brothers, there's no need to be like this. Qingyang was just being impulsive, War Wolf, don't make things difficult for him. " Lord Chunshen came out to smooth things over. It seemed like he was not helping either side, but in fact, he was siding with Feng Qingyang and helping him out.
War Wolf turned his head away, not saying a word.
Di Chen watched coldly from the side. He knew that the Yan Huang Alliance's biggest weakness was that its members were not united, and they often formed cliques. This was the helplessness of a large force, no one was willing to submit to anyone, and everyone had their own little schemes. (To be continued.)
