Ying Menglong interrupted him and said with a wry smile:
"The army is tired and still needs training. It's better to wait until it joins the follow-up army..."
Zhang Baoer interrupted him again and said with a smile:
"We are all monks and can endure hardships...Besides, if you think so, others will definitely think so too. Doing this is called taking a surprise! Even if the other party reacts quickly enough, if the situation is not right at the time, they can become like birds and beasts and scatter. Otherwise,
Let's meet in one place! Fight and fight in order to win the war and escape without being embarrassed. The final victory is the real victory."
After hearing these words, Ying Menglong's eyes lit up, illuminated by the words "surprise" and "the final victory is the real victory."
So, he immediately left his camp and gathered all the senior officials to meet the three big bosses.
"This plan works!"
After listening, Yang Zhi was the first to express his position.
Everyone was not busy nodding, but turned their attention to Wu Yong.
Although Wu Yong is just an immortal, he is the mentor of Tao Qian, the ninth generation owner of Ares Mountain. Not to mention, he also has the reputation of Dingshan Stone. This war was planned and arranged behind the scenes. The rise of Emperor Wu was unexpected.
It does not affect his status as a military advisor in the minds of everyone.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Wu Yong naturally knew what they meant, and then he stroked his snow-white goatee and began to think deeply. After a while, he glanced at everyone, then looked at the three big guys sitting high up and said in a deep voice:
"This plan is feasible, but to be on the safe side... we have to trouble a senior to immediately go to the sea to join the three billion people, and then arrange for them to make thirty shares, one for every billion people, from thirty directions.
Emperor Wu is approaching along the coast!"
"this……"
Hearing this, everyone was frightened, only to hear Wu Yong explain:
"We are not asking them to attack by force, but they are just showing off. Of course, the show must be sufficient so that no one can see the clues... There may be considerable losses, but they will not be too great, because they only need to hold on until dawn and they can evacuate.
, we agreed to gather at a place in the sea and wait for the next instructions from here, haha..."
Having said this, his eyes shone brightly, he stretched out his palms, clenched his fists in front of him and sneered:
"By then, we will definitely have received a lot of results here, and Emperor Wu will definitely have to send a large army here in a hurry. When we retreat, the army that has retreated to the sea can be twisted into one force and charge inland!"
"you mean……"
One of the quasi-emperor bosses asked with fear.
"That's right!"
Wu Yong confirmed his guess and said with a smile:
"The two sides are fighting and interfering with each other, leaving Emperor Wu in a hurry. When he is able to assemble an army to encircle and suppress one of them, I believe that the five billion people in the fourth part will also arrive. Hehe, it is still unclear who will win by then!"
After saying this, there was silence in the camp, except for the people's gradually rapid breathing.
"good!"
Another quasi-emperor boss slammed his fist on the table to settle the matter, and said excitedly:
"In order to prevent things from going wrong, I personally went to the Central Continent to urge them to act quickly!"
"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
The two quasi-emperors smiled and expressed their gratitude. One of them clenched his fist and said:
"Leave the three billion army to me!"
After saying that, he looked at Wu Yong with burning eyes and said with a smile:
"Let's record the previous achievements for now. If this happens, we three old guys will jointly take credit for you!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Then, everyone started discussing intensively.
After a long time, the matter was settled and everyone dispersed. On the way back to his tent, Ying Menglong suddenly burst into a bitter smile because he turned around and saw Wu Yong following him with a smile, causing Xu Liang and Yang Zhi who were accompanying him to look at each other.
Fog.
Ying Menglong stopped, and after Wu Yong caught up with him, the four of them continued walking towards the camp, and soon saw Zhang Baoer.
After Wu Yong and Xu Liang learned Zhang Baoer's identity and saluted with fear, Ying Menglong pointed at Wu Yong and said with a wry smile:
"Master Patriarch, this old guy is a human spirit. Menglong brought him here after he knew he couldn't get rid of him."
Zhang Baoer was not offended and invited the four of them to sit down, then turned his attention to Xu Liang.
Because he kept staring at him and remained silent for a long time, Xu Liang was a little at a loss. When he was about to say something, he heard Zhang Baoer ask in a faint voice:
"The reason why I saw you today is because I want to ask you a question."
"Excuse me, Grandmaster!"
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up and gave a junior salute.
Zhang Baoer glanced at Yang Zhi who had a wry smile on his face, and then continued to ask in a calm voice:
"Are you still from Ares Mountain?"
Xu Liang was silent, and after a long time he said in a deep voice:
"The actor is ruthless but thoughtful. To those people, I am just an actor, but Ares Mountain... Ares Mountain is my home!"
"Remember your words!"
Zhang Baoer nodded with great satisfaction and no longer struggled with this issue. Instead, he turned his attention to Wu Yong. However, he did not ask similar questions, but asked about what was discussed today.
After Wu Yong explained the matter, under Zhang Baoer's admiring eyes, he curiously said:
"Master, why didn't you ask me if I was a human or a dog?"
Zhang Baoer shook his head and said with a smile:
"The upper beam will be crooked only if the lower beam is not straight. Since you can teach upright and upright disciples like Tao Qian, how can you be a person with evil intentions?"
After hearing this, Wu Yong's face became solemn, he stood up and bowed:
"Thank you, Master Patriarch!"
…………
That night, the army was secretly assembled. When the quasi-emperor who had gone to the sea returned and told Wu Yong that everything was ready, the army immediately moved south at lightning speed.
When they just arrived at the scheduled location, news came from the Linxian Sect that a war had begun there. However, Emperor Wu also quickly gathered an army and rushed there. However, the number of people who went to rescue was not as large as expected. Only
Only 500 million.
"The Emperor Wu is not simple!"
After complimenting with a sneer, Wu Yong nodded and said:
"It's time to begin!"
That night, Emperor Wu's troops in the south were in emergency. As soon as he sent a large army to support them, he heard news of something happening in the north.
At first, they were not too worried, because they had made speculations about this and made plans, and had already sent nearly 5 billion troops to guard it.
But in the second half of the night, everyone couldn't sit still, because the other party had no intention of fighting for the territory. After capturing a place, no one was left to guard it. Instead, it rolled around like a crazy dragon.
They specifically targeted areas with large troops to attack, but in the middle of the night, nearly a billion of the five billion troops were dispersed, and countless people were killed.
For this reason, before dawn, Prince Wu Lie personally led an army of three billion to rush to the rescue.
At dawn, the news that Linxian Sect was breached came at the same time as the news of the arrival of reinforcements, but there was no follow-up because the attackers broke through the sect, killed and looted in a hurry, and then escaped without fighting the reinforcements.
.
Before everyone could recover from their shock and anger, news came from the south: Thirty enemy troops that rushed into the interior did not confront the advancing army. After a face-to-face confrontation, the other side withdrew.
nautical miles.
Emperor Wu was furious, but he was beyond his reach and did not dare to be careless. He ordered the southern army to garrison in place.
The war in the north was getting intense, and Emperor Wu ordered the defenders to retreat while gathering, waiting for Wu Lie to arrive.
In the afternoon, Wu Lie finally arrived, but there were only less than 3 billion left in the 5 billion army. Not to mention, the opponent turned around and ran away, all the way out of the original defense line.
When Wu Lie saw that there were six billion troops here, he thought they were fine. He was worried that the enemy would turn around and eat the reinforcements that had originally rescued Linxian Sect, so he ordered a general to lead one billion troops to respond.
However, the news came that the other party did not go to encircle and suppress them, but instead made a big circle and rushed in from another line of defense.
"hateful!"
Wu Lie was furious and did not dare to let it go. He quickly led his army to rush towards him, but the opponent did not confront him like last time. He wreaked havoc and ran out again.
He was about to pursue, but at this moment, the order from his father Wu Emperor Wu Zhenjun came: do not pursue, divide the troops into three groups. If something happens, the nearest one will hold it back in the shortest time, and the other two will rush to rescue quickly.
; In addition, two billion reinforcements are on the way.
Wu Lie did as he was told, but what happened on the second day made him curse because the opponent was actually divided into two groups. The smaller group attacked first, but when he hurried to kill, he found that the opponent had run away again, and
It was impossible to pursue, because another army of the opponent actually invaded in another place... After having to leave some troops to guard this place, they led the army to rush for reinforcements.
This time, as he expected, the other party ran away again before he could reach him.
However, he felt a little relieved, because the reinforcements were about to arrive, and he was not afraid that they would do anything again.
But...for the next three days, there was no movement from the other party!
For this reason, Emperor Wu was furious and replaced the person in charge of intelligence work. Now if he doesn't understand that the other party has taken advantage of the intelligence, he will be a fool!
What's deplorable is that they hurriedly took over here. Not to mention the north, they didn't even have time to run the Black Flag Empire well...
His intuition told him that these were all due to the help of the remnants of the Black Flag Empire.
He didn't know that he had guessed correctly, but he didn't completely guess it because the remaining power of the Hidden Sect also played a big role in this battle. This battle was the result of the two sides complementing each other.
Just when Wu Zhenjun was hurriedly deploying, Zhang Baoer saw Wu Xu again. The other person's appearance was no longer beautiful, and he had become extremely old:
"Wu Xu, a man who has subjugated his country, pays homage to Clan Master Zhang!"
"No need to be polite! Please get up quickly!"
Zhang Baoer lifted Wu Xu up with his own hands while Ying Menglong and the others looked at him in surprise, patted his shoulders and said with a smile:
"It's too early to talk about the country's subjugation. The green mountains are still there, and the people are still here. It's just a matter of starting over."
Hearing this, Wu Xu burst into tears, but the pair of eyes on his old face were extremely bright, and he trembled with disbelief on his face:
"What the sect master means is..."
Zhang Baoer helped him sit down, then returned to his seat and sat down, smiling:
"You still have an army of more than 2 billion, and it is not impossible to make a comeback... In addition, you must have learned a lot from this failure. I believe that as long as you muster up the courage to start over, the empire you have built will be even more prosperous.
!”
Wu Xu was so excited that he trembled all over and immediately stood up and worshiped:
"Thank you, Master Zhang!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, then waved to Menglong and the others. After they left and set up the Silent Sound Array, he said in a deep voice:
"My sincerity has been given, now it's your turn."
Wu Xu looked solemn, nodded and said:
"Master Zhang, please tell me!"
At the same time, his heart was extremely complicated. After getting the autographed letter, he originally guessed that Zhang Baoer was related to the Ares Mountain in the Central Continent. Now he finally confirmed it and saw from the reactions of Xu Liang and others that they were not just related. He was shocked.
I couldn’t help but sigh, I didn’t expect that young people would grow up to this point!
Zhang Baoer didn't think much and immediately said:
"Tell me about Mingming!"
Wu Xu nodded, as if he had already guessed that he would ask this question, so he immediately answered:
"I don't know the specific situation, but..."
"But what?!"
"Back then, our ancestors sent news that that person was a big shot and ordered us to make good friends with you!"
"That's all?!"
Zhang Baoer couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then became even more disappointed because Wu Xu nodded:
"Yes...Originally, we wanted to ask more about the situation, but there seems to be something wrong with our ancestors and we can't contact them... The reason why we think so is because the powerful one who came to protect our clan, although
We are a force on the same side as our ancestors, but not in the same line. We have made some insinuations, but the other party was very cautious and did not leak any useful information."
After listening, Zhang Baoer was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed:
"I believe you...that's all! Remember to pay attention and tell me as soon as you have any news."
"yes……"
Wu Xu agreed and saw that Zhang Baoer was still deep in thought, so he asked:
"Does Master Zhang have anything else to say?"
"have!"
Zhang Baoer came back to his senses, stared at Wu Xu with sharp eyes and said:
"I want you to serve me for a hundred years!"
"good!"
Wu Xu didn't think much and agreed with a long sigh of relief, which made Zhang Baoer stunned:
"No need to think twice?!"
"unnecessary!"
Wu Xu stood up and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, then smiled and said:
"Our clan is already declining, and it is unknown whether it will rise again after the dark night. Besides, if we don't believe in you, who can we believe? Besides, now that my brother has abdicated the throne and I am the one who makes the decision, I can make the decision!"
Speaking of the end, he had a wry smile on his face. After a moment of pause, he ignored Zhang Baoer's surprise and stared blankly at the dome of the tent and sighed:
"In the early years, I was too indecisive. When my brother was at the helm, he was stubborn and refused to listen to advice. He tolerated the descendants of those meritorious ministers to do whatever they wanted. In the end, he lost the support of the people and was full of loopholes... and this disaster happened!"
Zhang Baoer grinned, stood up and patted his shoulder and said:
"Then I'm relieved. If you think so, you will definitely be a good emperor in the future. After you go back, you should make up for yourself. It's best to improve your cultivation level. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity to die of old age or exhaustion early?"
Wu Xu was a smart man. He immediately heard the arrogance and confidence in Zhang Baoer's words. He was determined and immediately bowed and said with a smile:
