During the 32,000 years of the ghost calendar, Demon Zunzunlou personally led 2.48 million demon soldiers to crusade against the underworld, and fought a decisive battle with the Yin soldiers at the front line of Youshou Pass.
Sima Yi's troops stationed in the Western Region were ordered to send troops from west to east to attack the main force of Yin soldiers on the front line of Youshou Pass.
"Grand Governor, after climbing over the mountain pass in front of you, you will find a smooth river. Our army can reach the gate of Youshou Pass in one day."
"Really? But I see that the mountain pass here is covered with clouds, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
Sima Yi snorted coldly, then broke away from the advancing team, rode up the hill and stared into the distance.
"Have you found out who is the Black Flag Army garrisoning Beiyin Mountain?"
"It hasn't been found out yet. The other party seems to be hiding the number intentionally."
"Hide it on purpose? Haha, this is a bit interesting!"
Sima Yi sneered!
When receiving the military order from Chonglou, Sima Yi had already carefully analyzed the obstacles on the march.
Apart from the remnants of Xiao Yan stationed in Donghuang City, the one remaining in greatest trouble is the Black Flag Army in Beiyin Mountain.
Now that Xiao Yan in Donghuang City is besieged by the Southern Territory, he is already a Clay Bodhisattva and cannot save himself when crossing the river. It is impossible to embarrass him again.
Apart from this, there is only the Black Flag Army in Beiyin Mountain.
Sima Yi wanted to take the road from Beiyin Mountain to attack Youshou Pass, and the Black Flag Army was the obstacle he had to face.
This army is Cao Ning's personal army, which is extremely powerful and well-organized.
Even when facing Beilan, the two armies from the Western Region were encircling and suppressing them and they were able to attack steadily, forcing the latter to call off their troops and call a truce.
Such an opponent is really not what Sima Yi wants to encounter.
"Is there any way to bypass Beiyin Mountain?"
Sima Yi turned around and stared at the deputy general behind him.
Where there are black flags, there is Kong Ming, and this is exactly what he is not willing to face.
"Judging from the map, it will take at least more than half a month to make a detour. Then the Demon Lord will be... No, no, no, Grand Governor, this is definitely not an exaggeration deliberately by my subordinates."
Noticing Sima Yi's cannibalistic look, the deputy general quickly explained while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Beiyin Mountain reaches Huangquan in the north and Fengdu in the south. It covers hundreds of thousands of miles. It is really not easy for our army to make a detour."
"Is it this far?"
Sima Yi stood up and looked far away!
The Beiyin Mountain in front of him looked more and more like a big bag, just waiting for him to crawl into it.
"Huh~"
The lieutenant general took a breath and said, "Back to the Governor, it's true. Our army has a lot of baggage and the team is moving very slowly. It's impossible to get around it in a short time."
"Is it that much trouble?"
Sima Yi took a deep breath!
Thinking about it, it seems that is indeed the case!
"What you said is true!"
I thought that Sima Yi would give up the idea of taking a detour after knowing the truth.
After all, the battle at Youshou Pass is imminent. If anyone dares to delay at this time, Chonglou will definitely not let him off lightly afterwards.
But who would have expected that Sima Yi would still go his own way!
Not only did he ask for a map from the quartermaster, but he also ordered the entire army to rest, and he lay on the map and studied the route with great interest.
"The Black Flag Army should not be underestimated, not to mention that there are still old acquaintances of mine there. It is impossible to rush over in a short time. It is better to..."
Sima Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at deputy general Huang Xing with interest.
"You said that the key defenses of the underworld are all at Youshou Pass. How will the defense of Fengdu City be like?"
"Fengdu City? Governor, are you thinking..." Huang Xing suddenly took a breath.
Hearing that Sima Yi wanted to seize Fengdu City, Huang Xing sweated profusely and his legs swayed weakly.
Fengdu City is the center of the entire underworld. There are more powerful people in the city than the crucian carp crossing the river. Moreover, there is also the underworld king Yao Ji who has unfathomable strength.
Just relying on Sima Yi's newly formed army of 980,000 to shake the foundation of Fengdu City is nothing short of a fool's errand.
"Do you also think that I have been kicked in the head by a donkey and want to attack Fengdu City with just the few men under my command?"
"..."
Huang Xing remained silent, but the sweat on his face betrayed him.
Sima Yi smiled indifferently: "You are not stupid, so naturally my head has not been kicked by a donkey. I can still distinguish the priorities."
"Then what are you doing, Grand Governor?" Huang Xing was a little confused.
"Of course it's a bluff!"
Sima Yi pointed at Beiyin Mountain and analyzed it carefully.
"There is a Black Flag Army stationed in Beiyin Mountain. It will not be easy for our army to pass through it. But if we change our mind and give up the assembly at Youshou Pass and turn around to command Fengdu City, even if we cannot capture the city, we can still contain some of the main forces of the underworld.
, so that they dare not move without permission."
"But what the Demon Lord means is..."
"You, no wonder you can only be a deputy for the rest of your life!"
Seeing that the deputy general was still worried, Sima Yi patted his shoulder and continued with a smile.
"Do you think we can help the Demon Lord Cauldron settle things by going to Youshou Pass? Hehe, kid, you better stop lying to yourself!"
"Lying to yourself?"
"if not?"
Sima Yi clasped his hands behind his back and smiled meaningfully: "This time, the Demon Lord led millions of demon soldiers to sweep into the underworld. His power has already surpassed the entire underworld. Even if we go, we are just helping to cheer and cheer.
That’s all.”
"Maybe when the war needs it most, I will be a silent cannon fodder."
"Rather than going there in vain, it would be better to attack Fengdu City from another direction."
"In this way, as long as we contain the reinforcements from the underworld and provide indirect support for the main force of Youshou Pass, even if the Demon Lord finds out afterwards, he will not blame us."
In fact, this time Chonglou suddenly transferred Sima Yi to Youshou Pass, which made him feel uneasy inside.
Because not long ago, Tuotuo Timur, who was hurriedly transferred by Chonglou, and more than 100,000 men under his command disappeared overnight.
After this incident, Sima Yi, who was always uneasy, immediately sensed danger.
It’s not that Chonglou means to ‘die the cunning rabbit’, but it’s just a matter of being careful.
However, the Black Flag Army was blocking the road, which gave him an excuse to stall.
After hearing Sima Yi's plan, although Huang Xing supported it from the bottom of his heart, he still felt frightened when he thought of Chonglou's furious eyes.
"What the Grand Governor said is absolutely true. It is indeed strategically superior to send troops to Fengdu City, but it's just the Demon Lord's temper..."
"Don't worry, if the sky falls, I, the general, will hold it up, so you won't be hurt."
Seeing that the deputy general sent by Chonglou relaxed his words, Sima Yi didn't bother to argue with him anymore.
Sima Yi immediately shouted at the army behind him: "Send an order for the whole army to divert, march to the southwest, and penetrate directly into Fengdu City!"
"yes!"
As the messengers gradually moved away, Sima Yi's attitude became more determined.
Who would have thought that nearly a million troops would immediately turn around before they reached the foot of Beiyin Mountain.
This kind of fear of war is probably the only one in the world.
