However, Chen An was quite self-aware when it came to attacking cities.
He called in Emperor Yi of Shang to discuss the matter.
Unexpectedly, this guy had already prepared for this. After hearing what Chen An said, he rubbed his hands and was very excited: "Your Majesty, look!"
The city map of Linfeng City was unfolded.
Chen An glanced at Shang Diyi and asked, "You have been studying this for a long time, right?"
Emperor Yi of Shang laughed dryly and said, "When we were surrounded and suppressed, I thought about just breaking into Linfeng City and making a big splash, so I made a lot of preparations."
"How many people are needed?" Chen An asked.
Emperor Shang Yi's eyes flickered: "Your Majesty, if you only give me 50,000 men, I can capture Linfeng City!"
"So confident?" Chen An didn't believe it. This kid probably didn't know that he now had an army of 30,000 practitioners.
Emperor Yi of Shang chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, please look!"
Emperor Shang Yi pointed to the hand-drawn plan of Linfeng City and said, "Although Linfeng City is more than ten times larger than Long'an Town, the city guards are not large, no more than 20,000 people. The most important thing is here!"
Emperor Yi of Shang pointed to two spots outside Linfeng City. "There are two camps here, totaling 60,000 soldiers. The Cloud Camp is stationed on the banks of the Sui River, guarding the Sui River Bridge, the main road to Linfeng City from the north. The other West Camp is just north of Linfeng City. Originally, these two camps were stationed south of Linfeng City, because a hundred miles away there is the territory of the Jiuyang Dynasty. It's only because of the situation in Long'an Town that these two camps are stationed in the back!"
Chen An nodded: "Tell me about your plan!"
"Although the Suihe Bridge is the main road, we can quietly cross the river from a hidden location upstream. We don't have to worry about the Yunzi Camp at all. We can march straight in, take the east gate by surprise, and enter Linfeng City!"
"What should we do if these two camps turn around immediately?" Chen An looked at Emperor Yi of Shang who was speaking with great excitement.
Emperor Yi of Shang chuckled and said, "The water source for these two camps is the water from the Sui River!"
Chen An was stunned: "That's a river, how much poison is needed?"
"Poison won't work. It will kill the fish in the river and make them discover that they are drowning. There are plenty of such medicines. War horses, strange beasts and people will lose their strength after eating them, and they will not be able to counterattack quickly. In this way, we will have time to completely control Linfeng City!" Emperor Yi of Shang has bright eyes and high morale.
"A huge outburst?"
"Well, it's just a laxative." Emperor Yi of Shang chuckled.
Chen An's eyes were bright: "You little brat, you have a lot of crooked ways!"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words." Emperor Yi of Shang chuckled wickedly.
Chen An took a deep look at the boy. He was definitely a talent!
Suddenly, Chen An said with a half-smile, "Do you know that I have 30,000 practitioners?"
Shang Diyi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he shouted exaggeratedly, "Thirty thousand cultivators! I only thought Your Majesty had recruited thirty thousand soldiers..."
"Fuck, you look like you've never seen the world!" Chen An scorned Shang Diyi and said, "Adding the original 20,000 or so people here, will 50,000 or so be enough?"
"Enough, more than enough. Thirty thousand cultivators, if used well, can defeat the enemy's 300,000 regular troops. We don't need any tricks at all, we can march straight in, and those two battalions can't stop us at all!" Emperor Yi of Shang was still shocked at this moment.
"Why use brute force when you can use your brain!" Chen An glanced at Emperor Yi of Shang.
Emperor Shang Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are we really going to go to war with the Tianyue Dynasty?"
Chen An himself didn't know, but judging from what that woman Lu Hongyi meant, he just wanted to do whatever he wanted.
As for these, he naturally didn't think about them.
"Stop talking nonsense. In this case, I'll just give you another 10,000 cultivators. Take these people out first, and then go hide in the upper reaches of the Sui River. You can prepare first. As for when to take action, wait for my order!"
"Your Majesty, you are not going? Also, how do we receive your order?" Emperor Yi of Shang frowned.
"I'll send some Imperial Guards with you. The Yanhong Formation can deliver the message!"
After discussing the trivial matter of attacking the city, Chen An put his arm around Emperor Shang Yi's shoulders and began to discuss serious matters!
"What you just said about a devastating catastrophe, what will happen if someone at the peak of the Divine Realm eats it?"
Emperor Yi of Shang was flattered when Chen An hugged him.
But he smiled bitterly and said, "It's useless for cultivators to eat it. It's only useful for ordinary soldiers and exotic beasts and war horses."
Chen An was a little disappointed, but then he turned his eyes and asked, "Is there any drug that can knock out even a peak-level Divine Realm cultivator?"
Shang Diyi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, even if there is, I don't have the chance to poison the peak of the Divine Realm. There are not many masters at the peak of the Divine Realm in the entire Eastern Shenzhou, so naturally I don't know the effect!"
"Uh... then just give me some and I'll try the medicine!" Chen An was disappointed again.
Emperor Yi of Shang suddenly asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, who do you want to poison?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? It's a drug, not poison!" Chen An said unhappily.
“Yes, yes!”
Not long after Emperor Yi of Shang ran out, he came back carrying a box.
When the box was opened, various bottles and jars were revealed. Chen An looked at them and exclaimed that this guy was professional!
"Your Majesty, to be honest, my master was an alchemist. It's a pity that he died early. Otherwise, I might have been able to concoct a poison that could kill anyone above the Tongtian realm." Emperor Yi of Shang looked through the bottles and jars with regret.
Chen An's eyes were bright. "If you don't know how to do it, then learn it. Didn't your master leave you any pharmacopoeia or something? Or, find another master to learn from. If you can't find one, I can help you find one!"
Shang Diyi smiled bitterly: "In the entire Shenzhou, there is no pharmacist stronger than my master."
"You're quite arrogant. Who is your master?"
"My master's name is Sun Siyao!"
This one sentence almost choked Chen An to death.
"Sun Simiao..." Chen An was extremely surprised.
After hearing this, Emperor Shang Yi shook his head and said, "Sun Siyao is known as the best pharmacist in the world!"
"Damn it, you scared me! I thought I'd run into a fellow villager!" Chen An patted his chest, his eyes flickering as he asked, "Didn't your master leave you any secret manuals?"
Shang Diyi smiled bitterly: "There used to be some, but someone stole it, so before my master died, he burned it all up in a fire!"
"What a pity..." Chen An sighed, as if he had missed out on ten billion in wealth.
After a long pause, Chen An patted Shang Diyi's shoulder earnestly and said, "Study hard, you have a bright future. If you need anything, tell me and I'll help you!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a Dragon Pavilion on the Fengshen Gate, which contains many ancient pharmacopoeias. If Your Majesty could let me take a look, perhaps it would help improve my alchemy skills." Emperor Yi of Shang was full of anticipation.
"No problem, I'll take you there when I have free time!" Chen An's eyes lit up, as if the 1 billion yuan had returned!
After a while, Chen An came with a few small bottles, his eyes full of anticipation!
