Chapter 269: When People Are Poor, They Have to Dig for Treasures
Lin Yun’s question made Xue Nu a little confused.
The original plan was to let Huyan Jue guard this place, and then they would attack Shanhaiguan together, but Zhang Ling insisted on catching the traitor first.
Just arrest him. After a round of discussions, everyone agreed that Huyan Jue was the most likely traitor.
Good man, they just tied up Huyan Jue. Who will guard the pass now?
In order to resolve the concern about the traitor, several suspects must return to the Snow Mountain Cult. Otherwise, when the war breaks out, they will have to be on guard against backstabbing by those around them at all times, and there will be no way to fight the war.
But we have to defend Shanhe Pass, and now we are in a situation where no one is available.
"Ayun, do you have any ideas?"
When Xue Nu saw Lin Yun asking questions and seemed confident, she couldn't help but ask him for help.
Lin Yun said, "I have a plan, I wonder if you dare to use it."
"You tell me first."
"When my sister and the other warriors return to the snowy mountains, our army will give up this grassland. The people of the Central Plains will then have three choices. One is to seek stability and stay in the city. In this way, we will not need a garrison commander and will be safe.
The second is to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Our army just needs to give up this grassland. The Central Plains people have no city to defend, so there is no point in attacking. On the way of retreat, we can also gather the people to prevent them from being harmed by the Central Plains people. If the Central Plains people dare to advance alone, we can wait for you and the other warriors to return and then launch a counterattack.
The third option is that if the Central Plains people are brave and see our army retreating, they may take a risk and take a surprise attack, go around from here to the rear, and suddenly attack the garrison under Shanhaiguan, and then cooperate with the Central Plains people in Shanhaiguan. At that time, we will deploy reinforcements first, and as long as the Central Plains people dare to come, they will not be able to return. "
“Great!”
The Snow Girl was very satisfied when she saw that Lin Yun had come up with a clear and organized method in such a short time.
Among the people of the grassland, she had never seen anyone as smart as Lin Yun.
Moreover, she felt that this was the real clever way to fight a war. The enemy's choices were limited, and no matter what choices they made, we had a way to deal with them.
Utulu's previous strategy was simply outrageous. Once he was caught and faced off head-on, he missed the great opportunity, which led to the predicament he was in today.
"Let's follow this plan and lead the troops to withdraw immediately!"
After saying that, Xue Nu called Hu Yanjue over.
The Dragon Binding Rope only makes people lose their fighting ability and turn them into mortals, but their movements are not restricted.
After all, Huyan Jue is the commander of a large army. If he is captured directly, it might shake the morale of the army. Therefore, Xue Nu had been more covert before and just had someone watch him.
It would be more appropriate to let Huyan Jue give the order to withdraw troops now.
The army had been stationed at Shanhe Pass for such a long time, but they withdrew without doing anything. The morale of the grassland people was also hit, but they were beaten by Lin Yu before, and then Xue Nu was beaten by Dongfang Hongyue. Everyone knew that they had lost the battle, so the withdrawal was understandable.
Xue Nu did not think too much about this change in morale. Lin Yun saw it and secretly wondered if he could use this to cause trouble.
To be honest, strength limits Lin Yun's actions.
The influence of ordinary soldiers of this era, and even monks below the upper realm, on the war situation is actually very weak.
The outcome of the battle depends entirely on the top few people.
Only a monk of the higher realm can fight against a monk of the higher realm.
"So all these people are just here for show?"
Lin Yun has always been a little confused. Maybe there is some way to make ordinary soldiers useful?
Once Lin Yun came up with this idea, he couldn't stop.
To realize this idea, perhaps we should consider it from the perspective of the formation, using people as the formation and integrating the power of everyone, and perhaps we can accomplish the feat of overthrowing the powerful.
"I still have to learn the formation when I get back."
Lin Yun decided that after he finished his undercover mission and returned to Central Plains, he would study the art of formation and weapon refining.
The two complement each other, and Lin Yun just happens to need to build himself some better equipment.
At present, he still has enough money, but the clothes he wears are just ordinary mortal clothes, and his weapons...
The Denglong Sword was left in Ziyun Mountain, and the big knife he is holding now was also snatched from the grassland people, it is just ordinary iron.
“So I’m so poor?”
Lin Yun suddenly discovered this cruel fact. He had always thought that he had plenty of money and treasures, but now he suddenly woke up and realized that he was just a poor guy, yet he had the composure of the richest man.
“Who gave me the courage?”
Lin Yun fell into deep thought.
At this moment, on Shanhe Pass, seeing the grassland people withdrawing, Yu Quan also wanted to pursue them, but he couldn't figure out the grassland people's strength, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Dongfang Hongyue suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Snow Girl. Although he has recovered now, there are still several experts among the grassland people. It would not be wise to chase them out. For the sake of safety, it is better to keep the troops in place!
"The enemy's next target is to attack Shanhaiguan. It seems that they have been frustrated here and want to move to Shanhaiguan."
Dongfang Hongyue received Lin Yun's information and discussed it with Yu Quan.
Yu Quan was also an old fox. He did not rashly express his own views, but asked, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Dongfang?"
"My suggestion is to lure the enemy deep into our territory and abandon Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan has no natural defenses. All the people in the city should abandon the city and let the grassland people enter Shanhaiguan. We will take a special force and take the Jieshan Mountain to kill the grassland people who enter the city as quickly as possible. This is the best strategy."
To be honest, Dongfang Hongyue didn't quite understand why a Shanhaiguan was set up in that place.
Shanhaiguan has existed since ancient times, but the checkpoints set up by our ancestors were mostly located near mountains and rivers, where there were natural barriers to rely on. Only Shanhaiguan, although it is named Shanhaiguan, is actually neither backed by mountains nor by the sea. It is easy to attack but difficult to defend, which is really difficult to understand.
Dongfang Hongyue couldn't guess how the ancient ancestors acted, and she was too lazy to guess. She just analyzed the current situation.
Yu Quan thought about it and felt that the plan was a good one, but it was not so easy to implement.
Shanhaiguan is an ancient city that has existed for countless years. It has the most strange stories and is a very important place.
Yu Quan had also been to Shanhaiguan for research for many years and had heard many legends but had not found anything useful. However, he still felt that this place was extraordinary.
"Your plan is indeed good, but Shanhaiguan cannot be lost. I have a feeling that if Shanhaiguan is lost, the Central Plains may be in great trouble. This is why I have three junior brothers guarding Shanhaiguan. This is also what my senior brother meant."
Except for Yuxuan who was still hanging out at home in Taiqing Taoist Temple, everyone else had already gone down the mountain.
The main forces of Taiqing Taoist Temple were placed in the north, and only Yu Quan was sent to guard Shanhe Pass, which shows the importance of Shanhe Pass in Yuxuan's eyes.
When Dongfang Hongyue heard that it was Yuxuan's idea, she did not refute it.
The old Taoist priest's cultivation was unfathomable. Although he looked amiable at ordinary times, Dongfang Hongyue could feel that she could try to fight anyone in the world, and if she couldn't beat them she could run away, but she couldn't mess with the old Taoist priest.
"You mean, there are treasures in Shanhaiguan?"
The eyes of the poorest demon king in history lit up...
