"You all analyze the situation from the pros and cons. When fighting a war, you have to consider the pros and cons, but it also has to do with your character."
"Martial Saint was defeated twice by Long Chen and seriously injured by Long Chen. Wherever Long Chen is, Martial Saint will attack."
Yu Wenkai expressed his opinion.
It does seem unwise to cross Yuncheng and attack Yanmen Pass, but Wu Sheng's character determines the final direction of the attack regardless of pros and cons, only where Long Chen is. He wants revenge.
After everyone heard this, they looked at Long Chen.
"If Wu Sheng is really like this, of course I will go back to Yanmen Pass. The defense there is stronger than that of Yun City, there are more generals, and the soldiers have stronger combat effectiveness."
Yanmen Pass is assisted by the Empress, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi, as well as Zhang Qian, Wu Chuchu and a group of fierce generals. Leihuo Camp is also at Yanmen Pass.
In addition to generals and soldiers, Yanmen Pass has enough firearms and explosives, and its defensive capabilities far exceed those of Yuncheng.
However, fearing that Yu Wenkai's miscalculation was wrong, Wu Sheng chose to attack Yuncheng. When the time came, Long Chen could only send troops to rescue from Yanmen Pass, and the situation would be very passive.
"You kid, if you don't believe me, I dare say that if you go back to Yanmen Pass, the Martial Saint will definitely attack Yanmen Pass."
Seeing Long Chen's hesitation, Yu Wenkai said a little unhappy.
Dugu Jiali asked: "Old General, what if the Martial Saint sees that Yuncheng's defense is weak and targets Yuncheng?"
"If I were a Martial Saint, I would attack Yuncheng first, force Yanmen Pass to reinforce, and then encircle the area for reinforcements."
Bai Tingting echoed: "Yes, our advantage lies in pass defense. If we are mobilized, the ghost tribe can intercept them on the way, and our advantage will be gone."
Yu Wenkai shook his head and said: "According to the reasoning of the art of war, it is indeed what you said, but the Martial Saint is different. He is not trying to win or lose, nor is he trying to conquer cities and territories. His goal is revenge."
"If the goal is to capture the city, you should attack the weak points and capture the city. Your reasoning is correct."
"But in order to take revenge, Wu Sheng will keep an eye on Long Chen and attack wherever the enemy is."
In the beginning, Wu Sheng and Long Chen had no direct hatred. They sent troops to break Yanmen Pass, capture the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then occupy the world.
Up to now, Wu Sheng's hatred for Long Chen far exceeds that of Long Yuan, and Long Chen is his biggest enemy.
The ghost girl thought that Long Chen had killed the ghost fetus, and she hated Long Chen to the core of her bones.
"Another point is that Wu Sheng has exhausted all his veterans. He attacked the Acropolis last time and took tens of thousands of people back. He has no patience anymore. He will not think about attacking slowly. He wants to complete his achievements in one battle."
Yu Wenkai continued his analysis, and everyone looked at Long Chen, waiting for Long Chen's final decision.
"I agree with the old general's analysis. Wu Sheng hates me and wants to end the battle this winter. It is right to return to Yanmen Pass."
Long Chen agreed with Yu Wenkai's analysis. There are many choices. Which one you choose in the end depends on people's hearts in addition to pros and cons.
Wu Sheng is bent on revenge, and he will take the initiative to find Long Chen.
Therefore, it is a wiser choice to go back to Yanmen Pass.
Yan Gang asked: "What if... I say what if Wu Sheng attacks Yuncheng first? Then he attacks Yanmen Pass, just like last time. I'm afraid the general will not be able to defend it."
Yu Wenkai believed that Wu Sheng's goal was Yanmen Pass. Long Chen agreed with this view, so Long Chen would leave Yuncheng soon.
Without Long Chen, Yan Gang was afraid that if the Martial Saint attacked, they would either retreat or be killed.
Yu Wenkai said: "Don't worry, I predict that Wu Sheng will not come. They will seize the winter time and give priority to breaking through Yanmen Pass."
"Only by killing this kid can we win the war. Killing you is useless."
Yu Wenkai spoke very directly, and Donna felt a little embarrassed.
Their life and death really have nothing to do with the overall situation, and will also delay the opportunity to fight.
"If Wu Sheng really attacks Yuncheng, you will retreat and I will bring reinforcements."
Long Chen comforted Yan Gang and gave them reassurance, which was also an instruction to Yan Gang and Donna.
If the Martial Saint attacks Yuncheng, Donna and Yan Gang will definitely not be able to stop them. Rather than die fighting to the death, it is better to retreat and wait for reinforcements.
"The last general takes orders."
Donna answered quickly. With Long Chen's words, she didn't have to worry anymore.
Evacuating without permission without the general's orders would be considered an escape, and Long Chen's words would not count her.
"When does King Wu plan to leave?"
Yan Gang asked Long Chen when he would return to Yanmen Pass, and Long Chen said: "Just for the next few days, heavy snow is coming, and the ghost tribe is coming soon."
"After I leave, don't make any noise, so as not to destabilize the morale of the army, just say that I am still in seclusion in the city."
Yuncheng is everyone's confidence. If the soldiers in the city knew that Long Chen was gone, it would definitely cause panic.
They had seen how powerful the ghost clan was last time. Only Long Chen could stop the Martial Saint. Without Long Chen, who would dare to guard Yuncheng.
"You will eventually understand."
Donna knew better than Long Chen that if the news leaked out, there would be riots in the army.
Bai Tingting asked: "Then the Long family army we brought will not leave?"
There are still tens of thousands of Long family troops in Yun City. If Long Chen leaves quietly, these people cannot leave.
"They are staying. You two are coming back with me. Lao Gan and Lao Mo are staying to lead the Long family army."
Long Chen looked at Gan Xin and Mo Lin. Gan Xin and Mo Lin were slightly startled, and immediately said: "Take the order."
"Also, old general, you are a demon general who attracts the attention of thousands of people. It is not easy for you to leave."
Long Chen said with a smile.
Yu Wenkai felt that there was something in Long Chen's words and said: "Then I will stay here. My current cultivation level can't help you."
Long Chen immediately said: "What the old general said is wrong. You have a high level of cultivation, and this junior still needs your help and guidance."
Yu Wenkai snorted coldly: "What flattery? I'll just stay."
Donna thought Long Chen would take Yu Wenkai away, but she didn't expect that Yu Wenkai chose to stay.
Yan Gang and Donna were secretly happy that with Yu Wenkai guarding them, they at least had the power to fight back.
After the discussion, Long Chen got up and walked out. Donna and Yan Gang returned to the camp, Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting returned to their room, Long Chen sent Yu Wenkai back, and Gan Xin and Mo Lin followed with a tacit understanding.
Returning to the yard, Yu Wenkai glanced at Gan Xin and Mo Lin behind him and asked, "What do you want to do?"
If we just send Yu Wenkai back, there is no need for Gan Xin and Mo Lin to follow.
"Old General, I want to discuss something with you."
Long Chen smiled and closed the door.
Yu Wenkai sat down and said, "Go on, I told you before that you are full of evil."
When Long Chen asked Yu Wenkai to stay just now, Yu Wenkai knew that Long Chen had a bad idea.
The Demon Dragon Camp suffered heavy casualties last time. Even so, the Demon Dragon Camp was the most powerful army, far surpassing the Long Family Army.
Yu Wenkai's cultivation is second only to Long Chen and the Empress, and he is the third master here.
For such an important general, Long Chen actually left him behind. He must have a very important mission.
"Old General, it's like this..."
Long Chen informed him of his plan...
...
Half an hour later, Long Chen came out of Yuwenkai's courtyard and walked alone to the ice cellar in the west of the city.
Here lives the sacred beast.
When I walked to the door, I saw the holy beast standing outside, covered with snowflakes.
Snowy days are extremely cold. People can't stand the cold and go inside to warm themselves by the fire to escape. However, the holy beast likes snowy days very much.
The old guard guarding the ice cellar was wrapped in thick clothes and stood under the eaves talking to the sacred beast.
It seemed that the two sides were having a good conversation.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen felt very strange. The holy beast was actually familiar with the old guard?
"Young man, please pay your respects to King Wu."
Seeing Long Chen walking over, the old guard quickly paid his respects.
"What are you talking about? Are you talking so enthusiastically?"
Long Chen glanced at the holy beast, and the old guard smiled and said: "It is learning to talk to me, and it also wants to know some things about us, so I will talk to it about weddings and funerals, raising horses as a soldier, and everything else.
explain."
Long Chen turned around and asked the holy beast: "Why are you interested in human things?"
