After seeing off the old Taoist, Yu Xian told Wu Yi, "Let's go too. Find a quiet place for the soldiers and horses in the pass as soon as possible. As I expected, we will have to stay here for a while."
Wu Yi didn't believe it, "No way. Now that the Hanzhong Army has suffered a new defeat, it's a time when people are panicking. As long as we don't give them time to rectify, make a lot of noise, and attack Jiameng Pass by land and water at the same time, maybe Chen Tiao'er will not be able to gain a foothold."
If it is stable, we must retreat to Baishui Pass."
Yu Xian shook his head when he heard this, "It can't be that simple. There are only a few hundred guards in the sword pavilion. These days, we have tens of thousands of troops taking turns to attack. Have you ever seen anyone show fear?"
Wu Yi held it in for a while and whispered, "It's probably the old trick again."
Since Qianwei County engaged in Chen Chao's rebellion, Chen Diao has become a taboo topic among the Yizhou army.
Especially for those generals who went into battle, not only did they avoid discussing Chen Tiao, they even refused to talk about the enemy they faced, Chen Chao.
The reason is very simple. If they criticize and criticize Chen Chao, who can say that they won’t be the next ones to be kidnapped by Chen Chao’s evil methods?
If he pleads for Chen Chao's excuse, he will inevitably arouse Liu Yan's jealousy again. He might even be suspected of having fallen into Chen Chao's trap.
You must know that even a senior general with such a high position as Zhao Wei can't take care of his subordinates. Who else would dare to take a chance.
Yu Xian nodded, "I think so too. If Chen Diao stays at Jiameng Pass to resist, I'm afraid the morale of the troops there will also shrink in a very short time."
Jiameng Pass was an insurmountable pass in history.
When Liu Bei took Xichuan, he rebelled at Jiameng Pass and turned around to attack Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang asked two generals, Fu Jin and Xiang Cun, to lead tens of thousands of Yizhou troops to raid Liu Bei's rear from Langshui. As a result, Huo Jun, who was responsible for defending Jiameng Pass, withstood tens of thousands of Yizhou troops for a whole year with only a few hundred men.
"Liu Yan will naturally not be confused about things that we can all understand. After experiencing the battle of Jiange, he should have given up his unrealistic illusions. Instead of diving headlong into a battle where the outcome is uncertain, it is better to make full use of it.
Jiange's victory will build momentum."
The defeat in the Battle of Jiange should have made Liu Yan realize the reality. Liu Yan should take advantage of this opportunity and step up his efforts to seek assistance from all parties.
This time window is also very important to Yu Xian, because he can just find out what the attitudes of Gui Ji and Nanchuan Ghost King are.
Yu Xian thought about it and told Wu Yi, "The rest of this will probably be all useless military discussions. You can just reject them for me. I have gained something occasionally in the past few days, and I will go into seclusion after setting up camp."
"Okay." Wu Yi said nothing.
After getting off the pass, Wu Yi took the initiative to ask for help, ran around the pass, and selected an open bamboo forest as a camp for the ghost soldiers and Taoist soldiers.
Jiameng Pass is forty miles away from Jiange, so there is no need to worry about being attacked by surprise.
Soon after Wu Yi led his troops to camp, Liu Yan sent someone to find Yu Xian for military discussion.
Wu Yi directly refused.
This military meeting was mainly to mobilize the power behind each family. Yu Xian was alone, so Liu Yan didn't particularly care whether he went or not.
After everything was settled, Yu Xian had Bi Ping and Yuan Jing summoned.
"Is there anything unusual about my nephew Feng Xiao these days?"
After hearing this, both of them said, "There is nothing unusual."
Feng Xiao has been very active since he came out of Sichuan. Recently, for some unknown reason, he has a gloomy face every day, as if someone owes him a lot of money.
"Nothing unusual?" Yu Xian thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. How can Guo Jia be such a arrogant person who can be wronged?"
With his intelligence and intelligence, it was only a matter of time before he could understand the secret of the "Turtle Walking Talisman".
Even if he didn't expect it at the moment, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, and there was a "turtle walking talisman" as a big killing weapon, Guo Jia should not let himself be in a position to be slaughtered.
"The biggest problem is that there is no abnormality. It seems that we will take a risk today to see what's weird about Guo Jia."
Yu Xian secretly made up his mind and asked, "Where is the Ghost King of Nanchuan? What has he been up to these days?"
Bi Ping and Yuan Jing looked at each other. They were just ghost soldiers who had just started practicing. How could they dare to spy on such a ghost ancestor?
Bi Ping replied, "This ghost king comes and goes unpredictably and is beyond our control."
Yuan Jing had some ideas, "You can ask Captain Wu about this matter. They have some friendship."
"Oh?" Yu Xian wondered, how could Wu Yi, a general, get together with the Ghost King of Nanchuan?
Yuan Jing took the initiative to answer, "Wu Xiaowei is very popular. The ghost king of Nanchuan claims to be the elder of his uncle, and often follows Wu Xiaowei to the various camps to eat and drink."
That's it, so it's not surprising.
The ghost king of Nanchuan is contracted to a starving ghost, and he seems to have enough to eat every day. Being able to eat one or two novel foods, even if they taste extremely bad, can make him extremely satisfied.
If he has time, he can experience the dark dishes that Yu Xian knows.
Yuan Jing added, "Recently, a few people from the witch and ghost realm have come to seek refuge. I heard that the Ghost King of Nanchuan is here, and two more have left."
Yu Xian nodded, "I understand."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Where is Senior Nephew Feng? I want to see him."
Bi Ping said hurriedly, "I know better about things in the camp. I'll accompany my uncle there."
Yu Xian does everything he can.
The camp of the Taoist soldiers and ghost soldiers already had a rough appearance. Yu Xian expected that Liu Yan would not launch an attack very soon, so he had already told Wu Yi to build it more carefully.
Many ghost soldiers are repairing bamboo houses and digging ditches.
It was already late August, a time when the heat was unbearable.
Fortunately, Tao soldiers and ghost soldiers are not ordinary soldiers and horses, so they don't need to pay attention to many camping rules.
They cut a clearing in the shade of the bamboo forest and built a tent with green bamboo branches.
The breeze blows slowly and the stream flows.
This made the Yizhou army encamped in the open space envious.
After a while, Yu Xian found Guo Jia, who was pretending to follow the ghost soldiers to carry bamboo.
Guo Jia, along with all the ghost soldiers, all used the "ghost upperbody" method, and his face was filled with green energy, which was eerie and terrifying.
Yu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is this an attempt by Guo Jia to conceal his identity, or has he realized that the problem lies in the "adults become tigers" and is preparing to seek a breakthrough through the art of witchcraft and ghosts?
The ghost upper body of the witchcraft also has the effect of strengthening the body, but this method has great side effects, which is completely different from the "adult becoming a tiger".
Not only did Yu Xian not dare to look down upon this, but he became uneasy.
Who is Guo Fengxiao?
That was a giant who could create his own art of war, the top strategist in the late Han Dynasty! The smartest man of this era!
A trigger of inspiration may bring about horrific changes.
Yu Xian can only say that he is indeed a giant!
At this moment, Guo Jia also noticed Yu Xian, and his face darkened instantly.
Yu Xian coughed lightly and took the initiative to say hello, "Guo, Mr. Guo."
The situation is unclear, so be polite.
When Guo Jia heard this, his expression changed drastically.
What are you talking about? Guo, what Guo!
Guo Jia looked around and said with a vigilant look, "I, Feng Xiao, am a real man. I won't change my name in business or in office. You, please don't ruin my good reputation."
