Chapter 152 Wen Zhong's Countermeasures
This fear does not stem from the strength of the enemy, but from the fear of the unknown and the speculation of possible conspiracies.
Wen Zhong knew perfectly well that if his guess came true, then the Nine Heavens Army's current celebration and victory would all be in vain.
A massive conspiracy is quietly looming over them, waiting for them to walk right into its trap.
If this conspiracy succeeds, the Nine Heavens Army will face an unprecedented crisis.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhong couldn't help but shudder.
He felt a cold wind blowing from behind, causing him to involuntarily tighten his armor.
He understood that he could not sit idly by and had to take action as soon as possible to deal with this potential crisis.
However, just as he was preparing to convene his generals to discuss countermeasures, an even more terrifying thought suddenly popped into his head: if this conspiracy were true, how would the enemy act?
What are their goals?
Ye Sui?
still...
The jade unicorn behind!
These questions gave Wen Zhong a chill down his spine.
He immediately realized that he needed to think about the problem more deeply in order to find a solution.
So he returned to the map and began to study the battle situation carefully.
His gaze moved slowly across the map, each mark and each line representing a possibility and a strategy.
They were trying to find the enemy's weaknesses while also looking for opportunities they could exploit.
However, as time went on, Wen Zhong's mood grew heavier and heavier.
He found that no matter how hard he tried to think, he couldn't seem to escape the feeling of being shrouded in conspiracy.
This feeling gave him a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration, as if he were trapped in a vortex from which he could not escape.
However, Wen Zhong did not give up.
He knew that as the commander-in-chief of the Nine Heavens Army, he bore the fate and hope of the entire army on his shoulders.
We cannot succumb to the enemy's plot, nor can we allow our soldiers to be put in danger.
So he gritted his teeth and continued to think and analyze.
Finally, after a long period of deep thought, Wen Zhong seemed to have found a clue.
He noticed that there was an important pass on Ye Sui's expedition route—Longmen Pass.
This pass is strategically important, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is the only way to reach the heart of Dayong.
This formidable pass was once one of the key points for the Dayong Dynasty to resist enemies from all sides.
Later, as the territory of Dayong expanded...
The strategic importance of this formidable pass has somewhat diminished.
However, due to the treacherous terrain...
It was still developed into an important city by the Dayong Dynasty.
If the enemy truly has some kind of conspiracy, then Longmen Pass is very likely one of their targets.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhong immediately summoned all the generals of the Nine Heavens Army.
Inside the Nine Heavens Army's main tent, Wen Zhong's face was more solemn than ever before, and the atmosphere was so tense it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.
Everyone sensed the unease in the commander-in-chief's heart; it was a keen intuition about unknown dangers that made them involuntarily tense up.
Wen Zhong stood in front of the map, his finger tracing the mountains and rivers before finally settling on the location of Longmen Pass.
His voice was deep and powerful: "Gentlemen, I have a feeling something is wrong."
"Since General Ye went to war against Dayong, the battle has been going smoothly, but too smoothly."
"I fear this is a trick by the enemy, deliberately luring us deeper into their territory."
Upon hearing this, the generals looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wen Zhong, as the commander-in-chief of the Nine Heavens Army, led the Nine Heavens Army in battles in the south and north.
They all knew that Wen Zhong's intuition was always accurate, and his concerns this time were by no means unfounded.
For a moment, silence fell over the tent.
Wen Zhong continued, "Longmen Pass is strategically located and is the vital passage to Dayong."
"We must enter Longmen Pass ahead of time and seize this strategic location to prevent the enemy from using any tricks."
At this point, his gaze swept across the faces of the generals, finally settling on two burly, resolute-looking officers: "Li Jinlong, Pei Xingyan, I order you two to lead 10,000 elite troops to Longmen Pass immediately to set up defenses."
"We must ensure the pass is absolutely secure before the main force of my Nine Heavens Army arrives."
"Here you go!"
Li Jinlong and Pei Xingyan acknowledged the order and turned to leave.
His steps were firm and powerful, as if each step resonated in the hearts of everyone present.
However, Wen Zhong's brows did not unfurrow.
He knew that sending troops to defend Longmen Pass was only the first step; the more important thing was how to rescue Ye Sui, who was in danger.
He had a plan in mind, but he needed a wise and brave general to execute it.
His gaze swept across the faces of the generals again, finally settling on the Pei father and son once more.
The Pei family's implanted identity is that of the Ironclad Family of the Yun Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, Pei Renji, the current head of the Pei family, has naturally served under Commander-in-Chief Wen Zhong for many years.
Therefore, in Wen Zhong's memory...
He deeply admired Pei Renji's ability to have children.
Her three sons were all outstanding individuals.
Pei Yuanqing goes without saying.
He was already a war god-level powerhouse at a young age.
Even more exaggerated than Prince Yun, Su Ye.
That's talent, something resources can't compare to.
You can't envy that; it's the kind of life where God has to feed you.
Although Su Ye's talent is already considered top-notch in this world.
However, they still can't compare to a war god like Pei Yuanqing, who was born for the battlefield.
The other elder brother, Pei Xingyan, was also exceptionally brave, though not as exaggerated as his third brother, Pei Yuanqing.
But he was also a rare and formidable general.
And needless to say, his second brother, Pei Xingjian, was even more so.
He possessed the demeanor of a scholar-general, and was proficient in both literary and military arts.
A military strategist of unparalleled skill!
In fact, Wen Zhong had always admired Pei Xingjian, the second brother of the Pei family.
After all, for a commander like Wen Zhong...
No matter how brave an individual is, their impact on the battlefield is ultimately limited.
Ultimately, the course of a major war rests in the hands of the commander who strategizes behind the scenes.
Therefore, Wen Zhong had a great deal of admiration for the second son of the Pei family in his memory.
He often carried it with him to pass on his military strategies and tactics.
He intends to groom him as his successor.
When I grow old in the future.
He wanted Pei Xingjian to take his place and continue to assist the next King Yun.
That is, Su Ye!
Looking at the Pei family father and son below him, Wen Zhong took a deep breath and slowly said, "Shouyue, I intend to send you to lead the elite Jade Kirin cavalry to rescue General Ye Sui. Are you willing to take on this important task?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Xingjian stepped forward without hesitation: "This subordinate obeys!"
"We will not fail in our mission and will risk our lives to rescue General Ye Sui!"
Wen Zhong nodded in approval. Pei Xingjian was both wise and brave, and he also knew something about the Jade Kirin, the only Daoist soldier in the Nine Heavens Army.
Currently, he is the best candidate to lead the Jade Kirin.
He walked up to Pei Xingjian and personally handed him a command arrow symbolizing the Jade Kirin commander: "This command arrow represents my trust and expectations. I wish you a resounding victory and swift success!"
Pei Xingjian accepted the command token with both hands and held it tightly in his hands.
His eyes gleamed with determination; this was the first time the commander-in-chief had entrusted him with leading troops into battle.
It was also the first time he had gone to participate in such a large-scale war alone.
