"That's because your spies are too incompetent. You have to train them well. Intelligence is as important as the combat effectiveness of the army. If the intelligence is not good, your army will suffer heavy losses. If the intelligence is good and combined with the combat effectiveness of the army, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort." Ye Chen did not directly respond to Lu Chenyuan's words.
"Who said it wasn't? I didn't take the intelligence my father left behind seriously at first. Now the states rarely use it, otherwise things like Guangwu wouldn't have happened." Guangwu is like a knot in Lu Chenyuan's heart now. He thinks of Guangwu every time he sits down and goes to sleep. He blames himself for not fulfilling his duties as a king and not protecting the people in this area.
"It's not your fault. Just take this as a lesson. Focus more on government affairs in the future, and you will naturally find a way." Ye Chen patted Lu Chenyuan's shoulder.
The group did not hide, but openly made a fire and ate dry food on the platform, waiting for the night. There was a deep abyss opposite here. To be honest, this was not a good place to camp. After all, the wind was blowing in their faces. In such a cold winter, it was really a torture to have a wind as sharp as a knife.
By the time you can see the moon here, it is almost midnight.
Ye Chen took out the relic given to him by Wenxin from his arms, and looked for something on the cliff opposite the moon. After a circle, Ye Chen's hands were frozen, and he finally found the place. On it was the totem of the Great Xia Dynasty, a soaring phoenix.
"Take this phoenix down and crush its eyes, quick!"
Because the place was very high, Xiao Mu was responsible for carving the phoenix. After finishing, Lu Chenyuan said, "OK," and flew up. He used two fingers to rub the two eyes directly. Who knew that the two eyes were alive? Lu Chenyuan pressed his fingers hard and pressed them directly in. Then there was a rumbling sound of pushing the stone below.
Ye Chen took the copied phoenix totem from Xiao Mu's hand, looked at the totem and walked into the cave first. Chen Qiu asked for a torch and quickly followed, "Follow my steps, don't walk side by side, the mechanism in here can be fatal." Ye Chen shouted as he walked in front. Although he had been here once, the mechanism here had been triggered by someone last time. He could only follow the totem and look at the picture drawn by the relic as he walked and groped around.
Ye Chen and his companions walked carefully, and although they were slow, they were fortunately safe along the way.
The road inside is like a feather, with countless forks in the road, and countless forks in the road. "Is this specially built like this? Is the totem you asked him to draw the map?" Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen as if he was following the totem.
"Yes, this totem is the map inside. What we need to do is walk to the location of the phoenix head. What Fuxia is looking for is there."
The group walked inside for about two quarters of an hour before they arrived in front of a large stone door. Ye Chen took out the relic in his hand, placed it in a groove on the door, pushed it hard inside, and the heavy stone door opened.
The torches of the crowd illuminated the back of the stone door. Opposite it was a suit of armor, which was two or three feet larger than the armor of an ordinary person. On the ground were piles of gold ingots and silver bars, as well as boxes of jewelry and jade. The entire secret room was two acres in size and was filled with all kinds of treasures. Not to mention anything else, just the silver bars, one of which was enough for an ordinary farmer to eat for five or six years. Those silver ingots weighed ten taels each.
If such a batch of treasures fell into Fuxia's hands and were used to recruit soldiers, could the civil war in the Great Yin be avoided?
"Hahaha, Ye Chen didn't expect it, right? You ended up making wedding dresses for me." Fu Xia's voice sounded behind them as expected.
The number of people Fu Xia brought was three times the number of people Ye Chen had. She couldn't open this place without the key, so she injured Black Hawk and Xing'er. She didn't expect that these two subordinates could lure Ye Chen over, so she made the worst plan, which was to blow up all the way in. Unexpectedly, Ye Chen came and opened the place smoothly.
"Oh, really? Are you sure you can fit into this wedding dress?" Ye Chen pointed to the treasure behind him. He was not surprised at all that Fu Xia came here.
"You must have lost quite a few men on your way in this time, right? According to the intelligence I've received, you should have brought at least twice as many people this time. Could my intelligence be wrong?" Ye Chen stared at Fu Xia. A flicker of disbelief flashed in Fu Xia's eyes. Did Ye Chen already know her situation so thoroughly? She wasn't sure, but the flash of emotion in her eyes was caught by Ye Chen. It seemed his intelligence was correct. This meant that Langya Mountain was the final destination of the Order of the Phoenix.
"Whether we can wear it or not depends on our own ability." Fu Xia is not a cunning person. The Order of the Phoenix has her military advisor. He is not with her this time. Naturally, he has other things to do. So Fu Xia is not worried at all. The carefree look in her eyes made Ye Chen take another look behind her.
In her previous life, when Fu Xia started the war, there was always a pale-faced scholar by her side. That man looked handsome, but he was a complete villain. "Why didn't your military advisor Luo Qi come?" Ye Chen asked seemingly unintentionally.
"How do you know him?" Fu Xia was a little flustered. Her military advisor had never shown up before, and even within the Order of the Phoenix, few people knew of his existence.
"I naturally have my own way."
"Princess Fuxia, let's make a deal. I have a share of this, and I was the one who found it. How about we each take half? Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to my uncle, the emperor, when I go back." Ye Chen said frankly.
"Hmph, give you half? Dream on. This kingdom was snatched from our Li family by the Chu family. None of you can even think of leaving here." After saying this, Fu Xia waved his hands to signal the people behind him to come forward.
However, within two breaths, the people on both sides were already entangled in a fight. Chen Qiu, Xiao Mu and Lu Chenyuan protected Ye Chen behind them and did not join the battle. Although the Silver Armor Army was a cavalry, they had great skills, and the armor on their bodies was their best protection. This was the top-level armor that Lu Chenyuan had spent a lot of money to build, otherwise his Silver Armor Army would not have only trained 10,000 people.
The two sides fought, and after a while they began to feel the ground shaking. "Fuxia, you actually lit the kerosene? Do you want to die with us?"
“It wasn’t ordered by my people.”
"Your military advisor, right? Idiot, you are being used by others and acting as a pawn without even knowing it. How could I regard someone as stupid as you as my opponent?" Ye Chen gritted his teeth in anger. This Luo Qi was really good at hiding his true intentions. In his previous life, he actually thought that he was just Fu Xia's military advisor. He didn't expect that this woman, Fu Xia, was willing to be someone else's pawn.
"Silver Armor Army, retreat, leave quickly." Ye Chen shouted, and then everyone began to retreat outside.
The kerosene was very powerful. In just a few breaths, the shaking turned into an earth-shaking earthquake. All the mechanisms on the way here had been triggered. Ye Chen and Shen Qiu had soft armor on their bodies and could only avoid the stones falling from above. Fortunately, Lu Chenyuan and Xiao Mu had good skills, otherwise it would have been difficult to dodge the mechanisms and stones.
Ye Chen had no martial arts skills, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to dodge the rocks above. Seeing a rock about to fall, Chen Qiu pulled Ye Chen, but it was still a little short. It was thought that Ye Chen would be seriously injured if not dead. At the critical moment, Lu Chenyuan kicked Ye Chen and kicked him next to Chen Qiu. He didn't have time to dodge, and the rock hit his leg and rolled to the side.
He only heard a cry of "Ah" and then knelt on one knee. Lu Chenyuan held the leg that was hit with trembling hands, and the leg just lay limp on the ground. Ye Chen and Shen Qiu went back to help him, but he couldn't use any strength on his leg.
Xiao Mu jumped back, picked up Lu Chenyuan, threw him on his back and rushed out. When they came out, rocks were still falling in the cave. Fu Xia ran fast and came out right after them.
The group ran all the way down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, rocks were still falling from the mountain. Fortunately, no one was here at that time, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died.
