Chapter 563

The loss of Loushan Pass was a heavy blow to Bozhou. In the Sea Dragon Village, there was a feeling of silence. In the meeting that Yang Yinglong hastily convened, everyone looked gloomy and almost didn't say a word.

Yang Yinglong couldn't help but sigh at the sight of his trusted aides. He said to his advisor, Sun Shitai, "Yinglong regrets not listening to Mister's suggestion to send troops to Heaven's Sanctum, nor did he listen to Mister's idea to gather troops. Now that Loushan Pass has been breached, Bozhou is in danger. Does Mister have any ideas? "

Sun Shitai twirled his beard strand by strand, almost pulling out all his beard. With the current situation, even if Zhuge Kongming was reborn, what good ideas could he have? After pondering for a long time, Sun Shitai slowly said, "I'm afraid this student will offend Heavenly King!"

Yang Yinglong hurriedly said, "Mister, please speak your mind. Those who speak are not guilty!"

Sun Shitai smiled bitterly and said, "In my opinion, Heavenly King can only take the initiative to surrender!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Chen Xiao, Zhao Wenyuan, and the others looked at Sun Shitai in shock. As expected of the advisor, his words were shocking. Tian Feipeng, Yang Zhaolong, and the others flew into a rage. Yang Zhaolong slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "You're misleading the people with lies and disturbing the morale of our army!"

Yang Yinglong raised his hand to stop his second brother's reprimand. He looked at Sun Shitai with bright eyes and said, "Mister is saying … to feign surrender and plan for the future?"

Sun Shitai glanced at Yang Yinglong and thought, I thought he would be furious after hearing this. I didn't expect him to be so calm. I really thought he agreed with my suggestion, but it turns out he just thinks I want to feign surrender.

Sun Shitai shook his head sadly and said, "Heavenly King underestimates the officials of the court. It's useless to feign surrender and leave the wilderness. At this point in the war, the court won't give up so easily. If you surrender now, Heavenly King's ending will be the same as the Tian Clan! "

Yang Yinglong's face darkened, but Sun Shitai braced himself and continued, "It's difficult to make a comeback in Guiyang!"

Yang Yinglong said solemnly, "A man can't be powerless for a day! If you want me to live in Guiyang, I'll rather die! "

Sun Shitai advised, "At least we can protect the Yang family. If we don't surrender now, we won't have a chance when the imperial court's troops arrive at Hailong Tun."

"Mister, no more!"

Yang Yinglong unhappily flicked his sleeves and turned to look at Chen Xiao, "What does Big Mu think?"

Chen Xiao quickly glanced at Sun Shitai. His thoughts were actually the same as Sun Shitai. However, Sun Shitai could make such a suggestion, but he couldn't. Sun Shitai was Yang Yinglong's strategist. Yang Yinglong could choose not to accept his advice, but he wouldn't easily kill him.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, was different. He was the Great Ah Mu, equivalent to Yang Yinglong's cabinet chief in the small imperial court. Furthermore, he was a local chieftain with his own territory and people. If he publicly supported Sun Shitai's idea and Yang Yinglong was determined not to accept it, then Yang Yinglong would probably have a different opinion of him.

The court is exhausted and overwhelmed. At that time, we can accept the result of leaving the country. If that's the case, we can protect Bozhou, and the Heavenly King won't have any real power. " The imperial court has exhausted its troops on a long journey and is unable to bear the heavy burden. At that time, it may be able to accept the result of the emperor's departure. If that's the case, not only can we protect Bozhou, but the Heavenly King's actual power will not fall to anyone else. "

Yang Yinglong stared at him until Chen Xiao's hair stood on end. Only then did he slowly retract his gaze. From Chen Xiao's hesitation, he had already read Chen Xiao's thoughts. Yang Yinglong was really disheartened when his trusted general thought the same.

At this time, Zhao Wenyuan suddenly stood up and said vehemently, "Heavenly King, everyone firmly believed that Loushan Pass would not fall, but it has fallen! Everyone believes that once Loushan Pass is lost, Bozhou will be defeated without a doubt. But will they really be defeated? "

Yang Yinglong's eyes brightened. He looked at Zhao Wenyuan happily. Zhao Wenyuan said, "The eight armies of the court haven't formed an encirclement yet. Liu Ting is stationed at Loushan Pass and hasn't set out for Bozhou. This subordinate thinks this is our chance! "

Zhao Wenyuan strode to the sand table and pointed at it with his staff. "Heavenly King, everyone, please take a look. Within Bozhou's borders are ravines, mountains, and rivers. Only the natives of Bozhou know about the various small paths.

If the Heavenly King sends a group of dare-to-die warriors to use these secret paths to travel between the armies, harass, ambush, or search for an opportunity, we only need to destroy a group of soldiers. Then there will be a gap in Liu Dadao's inescapable net. Bozhou may be able to turn defeat into victory! "

Yang Yinglong slowly walked to the sand table. Everyone followed. Yang Yinglong carefully examined the terrain and pondered over Zhao Wenyuan's words. Although he wasn't very sure of Zhao Wenyuan's words, he really needed affirmation and encouragement at this time. After thinking for a long time, his emotions still overwhelmed his reason.

Yang Yinglong slowly nodded. "Wenyuan's words aren't without reason."

Zhao Wenyuan cupped his fists. "This subordinate is willing to lead a group of soldiers and act as a surprise force to roam between the eight armies of the court and search for an opportunity!"

Yang Yinglong slowly raised his palm and heavily pressed it on Zhao Wenyuan's shoulder. He said in a deep voice, "Good! If Bozhou can take a turn for the better, you'll be the greatest hero of Bozhou! "

… …

Water West, Clan An's old residence.

Clan An Jiangchen, who rarely showed himself and didn't like to ask about external affairs, could no longer sit still. He hurried to the rear residence to see the old master. Old Master An was fishing by the pond in the rear courtyard. When he saw his fifty-year-old son hurrying over, he only glanced at him but didn't say anything.

An Jiangchen said, "Father, Loushan Pass has been breached by Liu Dadao!"

Old Master An retracted his fishing rod and cast the bait into the pond again. He said indifferently, "The greatest contributor to breaching the pass is that brat Ye Xiaotian."

An Jiangchen said in surprise, "Father already knows? Father, your son feels that our An family can't just sit by and watch! Although there's no harm in our An family staying out of this matter. But if we send troops, there'll be great benefits! "

Old Master An smiled. "The general situation has already been decided. If we send troops now, the benefits will be very limited. How can there be great benefits?"

Old Master An sighed. "When people get old, they become more conservative. This great benefit has been reaped by that brat Ye Xiaotian. However, our An family's business is already big enough. It's time to seek stability. There's no need to take risks. "

He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. "Although adding flowers to embroidery can't compare to sending charcoal in snowy weather, it's better than standing by idly. Forget it, then … send troops!"

An Jiangchen was overjoyed. "Yes! Your son will personally lead troops to suppress the rebels for the country! "

Old Master An scolded, "Tsk! You're already so old. What's the point of winning this contribution? "

An Jiangchen was stunned. Old Master An said, "Tell Dalang to go!"

An Jiangchen came to a realization. "Yes! Your son will immediately arrange for Nantian to take command! "

Seeing that Old Master An had no further instructions, An Jiangchen immediately turned around and left happily.
