Chapter 319

"... I... I don't understand... is the Young Master... going to..."

Le Luo Luo felt more and more confused.

He couldn't understand Wang Yang's intention, and was even more worried about the future of the Wenyang tribe. It was not easy to settle the submission and open the barbarian route, and successfully talk peace with the Yongning tribe. He only felt that the future was bright, but suddenly it seemed to have fallen into a fog again, unable to distinguish the direction.

If a war starts with the Yongning tribe, wouldn't the Wu Ning barbarians, Yidu barbarians, dry shares, and transaction taxes that were settled before all become dreams? In addition, once the war starts in the barbarian land, regardless of victory or defeat, what about the submission? What about the trade route and cargo station? And there is the Pan Wang Agreement. Does Angta really dare to violate Pan Wang—

Seeing the camp gate in sight, Wang Yang said quickly:

"I can explain, and I can tell you a series of subsequent plans to let you follow me with peace of mind, but there is no time. The only three things I can tell you are—

First, now is after the meeting and before the alliance. No matter if you fight to death or not, it does not violate the Pan Wang Agreement.

Second, I don't want the Wenyang tribe and the Yongning tribe to officially start a war and fight to the end. Instead, I want to stop the war with war, seize this opportunity, remove the chief culprit, and settle the universe in one battle! Angta is not a person of stupid courage. This person is cunning and values profit, fears power and cherishes kindness. As long as the chief culprit is executed, he will definitely judge the situation and fall to our side. As for the death of the chief culprit, I will plant it on the Yidu barbarians. You just let go and do it; I will handle everything.

Third, after this battle, all the conditions settled before will remain the same. Regardless of submission or trade routes, it will not be affected.

Fourth, I have a chance of winning, but from this moment on, for every minute of delay, the chance of winning will be one point less."

Wang Yang stopped suddenly, his eyes like torches, piercing Le Luo Luo:

"I only ask you one sentence now: I want to kill the Jingzhou envoy and capture the Yongning chieftain. Do you follow or not?"

Le Luo Luo's Adam's apple rolled, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. But this hesitation was only a spark, and was immediately swallowed by a more determined resolution!

"The Wenyang tribe obeys the Young Master's orders and follows the Young Master's lead!!!"

Le Luo Luo's decision seemed to be only in an instant, but behind it was a series of operations and foreshadowings by Wang Yang before. This is what is called accumulating thickness and thin hair. Xiao Baoyue thought that the conditions on both sides were equal and no one had an advantage, which was actually wrong. Wang Yang's advantage was the relationship between him and the Wenyang tribe. He didn't need to explain too much to make Le Luo Luo obey his orders. Xiao Baoyue couldn't do this. What's more, Wang Yang also buried a backhand that made Angta hesitate to decide.

"... Hmm, there is a sentence... I don't know..." Angta's tone was difficult.

Xiao Baoyue smiled contemptuously:

"You wouldn't be stupid enough not to believe that Wang Yang wants to use the banquet to design an ambush to kill us, right?"

Angta observed Xiao Baoyue's expression:

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that... Noble Lady Xiao wouldn't be doing this because of that child, wanting to take revenge on Wang Yang, so..."

Angta suspected at the critical moment, and Xiao Baoyue exploded instantly:

"There is no child!!!"

Angta was even more suspicious, deliberating and persuading:

"Noble Lady Xiao should prioritize public affairs! Looking at Young Master Wang, he also seems to be thinking about the child..."

Baoyue broke her defense, the evil dragon roared:

"I will say it one last time! There is no child! There has never been a child! Do you understand?! If you dare to mention the child again, you don't need Wang Yang to take action, I will destroy you first!!!"

Wang Yang and Le Luo Luo were about to enter the camp, the two talking while walking, their speaking speed was fast.

"Now let you attack the camp opposite, how do you fight?" Wang Yang asked.

"Now?"

"Right."

"Not waiting for the evening banquet?"

"Of course not. As soon as we arrive at the camp, immediately assemble the whole army and rush directly to the enemy camp. Don't delay."

Le Luo Luo pondered: "There is a forest in the west. I will send two hundred people to ambush in the forest, and kill out from the side when the battle starts—"

"The forest is too far, time-consuming, not allowed."

"Then I will send five hundred people to attack the camp gate, and another three hundred people to bypass the west of the camp, and launch a surprise attack when the enemy's defense is empty."

"The flat ground has no cover, three hundred people cannot hide. If the enemy sees them, they will divide their troops to resist. Not allowed."

"I will send three hundred-man teams to feign attack on the east, west, and south sides, and hide five hundred people behind the south hundred-man team. When the enemy is scattered and defending, launch a general attack to break it."

"The hundred-man force is thin and not enough to break the camp. If the enemy general has wisdom, he will suppress it with stillness, the main force will not move, wait for my feigned attack to lose energy, and then launch the whole camp to counter-charge. Not allowed."

"Then... then you and I will each take four hundred people to attack the south and west sides?"

"The enemy is all elite soldiers. If they rely on the advantage of defense, use a partial force to delay one route, and the main force will come out to break my other route. Not allowed."

Le Luo Luo felt that he had already obtained the true biography of his father's use of troops, but at this time he felt a sense of exhaustion.

Wang Yang first wanted to determine the command, and second, he also wanted to see what better fighting methods Le Luo Luo had. At this time, seeing Le Luo Luo had no more to say, he said:

"Today's battle is in 'suddenness', not in 'strangeness'.

Their hearts are not united, and their plans are difficult to decide. This is one delay.

They think my plan is to set up a banquet, slow in the opportunity of war, which is another delay.

I get these two delays, and attack suddenly, it should be like thunder striking, without time to cover ears!

Instead of dividing troops to use strangeness, it is better to combine forces and gather sharpness, and exert strength in one direction! Strike in one breath, and take the lead!"

Le Luo Luo suddenly realized, both respectful and convinced:

"The Young Master is talented in both literature and martial arts! I cannot compare! I have long heard of the ability of the Han army to fight in formation. Please teach me the formation for attacking the camp today."

Xiao Baoyue really couldn't make Angta believe that the child matter was non-existent. To persuade Angta as soon as possible, she had to grit her teeth and admit it, and then told Angta that today's matter involved both private hatred and public grievances, and Wang Yang was the same, so they had to take action.

But Angta still had concerns:

"You said before that you would hand Wang Yang over to you. What are you planning to do with him?"

Xiao Baoyue was holding the fan handle tightly, gritting her teeth and saying:

"Tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

Angta's heart sank: deep love, deep hatred...

"Will Noble Lady Xiao really tear the Han envoy into ten thousand pieces?"

"Of course!"

Angta probed: "Then... then wouldn't it be better if I didn't capture him and just chopped him directly?"

Xinyi only felt that she liked Angta less and less, while Xiao Baoyue said decisively:

"No! He must die by my hands!"

Angta's heart sank even more: "Isn't it because you want to keep him to write some testimony letters or something..."

"Yes! I also want him to write—what are you talking nonsense for! Return to the camp immediately and prepare!"

Xiao Baoyue didn't pay attention to Angta and walked directly to the camp. Anyway, everything that should be said has been said. She doesn't believe Angta really won't take action! And she indeed didn't plan to kill Wang Yang. Of course, it's not that she can't bear to! But... but... killing him directly is too cheap for him! Right, it can't be too cheap for him!

He angered her so many times and tricked her out of so much money, so she has to get it all back! Besides, this little thief's learning and knowledge are barely passable. Letting him be a reader can also make up the number. He can't just eat for free! When the time comes, tell the outside world that he is dead, so that he won't continue to cheat and deceive young ladies! This is also for the good of that stupid girl Xie Xinghan, not letting her continue to be deceived! That's right, this is also for that stupid girl's good!

When the time comes, change his name, call him Wang... Wang, call him Wangwang? It sounds like a dog barking, hmm, just this one! Then keep him by her side all day, beat him if she wants, scold him if she wants, listen to whatever she wants him to tell, and if she wants him to give an idea, he has to give one! Let him stand and he dare not sit, let him go east and he dare not go west. Serving tea and water every day, pinching shoulders and beating legs, just thinking about it—pfft pfft pfft, who allowed him to touch her?!

Xiao Baoyue was designing Wang Wangwang's imprisonment life when Angta followed Xiao Baoyue and said hesitantly:

"Noble Lady Xiao, it's not that I'm hesitating, but what if you finish fighting and then make up? Wang Yang is an envoy. If he takes his anger out on my Yongning tribe later, I..."

Xiao Baoyue said angrily: "How is it possible to make up?!"

Angta:...

Xiao Baoyue suppressed her anger and said:

"Wang Yang is the Prince's political enemy! This point will not change! Don't worry about it! Return to the camp immediately, assemble the generals, I want to raise the tent."

"You?"

Xiao Baoyue lifted her eyebrows: "Without me, are you Wang Yang's opponent?"

Angta's hesitation was replaced by a fierce spirit: "It's all eight hundred people, who is afraid of whom? Besides, he is a civil official, does he understand fighting?"

Although Xiao Baoyue also thought it was impossible for Wang Yang to understand military affairs, she still said:

"I just said don't underestimate your opponent. Wang Yang's governance and strategy are all geniuses. Do you dare to despise him? This is not in the mountains and forests, but a battle on flat ground. Eight hundred people can be fully deployed. If Wang Yang understands military formation, how can you resist?"

Angta knew the power of the Han people's formation, and the fierceness in his eyes faded slightly: "Do you understand formation?"

Xiao Baoyue looked proud, matching her golden crown and white clothes, black-handled folding fan. Heroism and charm, murderous and demonic—these two seemingly contradictory temperaments intertwined on her, forming a dangerous, demonic, and breathtaking charm, beautiful and cold, sharp and eye-catching:

"Of course, I have already chosen a formation that is both simple and easy to set up, does not need training, and fits the opportunity of this place, and is very suitable for your barbarian army to combine with your own fighting methods and change! If he dares to fight me head-on, he will definitely be broken by me!"

"I won't teach the formation. Teaching formation in the face of the enemy is a big taboo. Besides, the soldiers have never practiced it. Even if it is a simple formation, it is easy to scatter. Furthermore, this time we are seeking speed, not completeness. Speed and ruthlessness are the first priority! You just use the formation you are used to. I only have three requirements. First, the most elite should be placed at the very front, and the combat power should decrease from front to back. Second, the formation should be slightly wider and cannot be easily bypassed. Lengthen the contact line, go up and fight fiercely, attack from multiple points, like mercury pouring into the ground, entering every hole! Cannot be blocked or crowded. Third, there must be a focus in the width. Where are you planning to hit?"

"From the direction, hitting the south gate is the fastest."

"It is the fastest, but hitting the gate is not as good as hitting the corner. The forest is in the west. You hit the southeast corner, so the focus is on the left wing! Reduce the troops of your center and right wing, and strengthen the left wing. That is to say, your left wing is the heavy blade of the whole army, led by you personally!"

Le Luo Luo is a person who leads troops. As soon as he heard Wang Yang repeatedly emphasize this arrangement, he immediately tasted some flavor. He vaguely sensed that this arrangement was not simple and might be the key to the overall situation, but he couldn't explain how it was key. And why not send troops to hide in the forest? Why mention the forest? Just as he was about to ask, Wang Yang said:

"Counting my and Xiao Shan's mounts, you brought twenty-four cavalry this time. Two cavalry went back to report the news. You take fourteen cavalry to help you break the camp, and leave the remaining eight to me. Also leave me eighty archers, I have use for them."

"Is the Young Master going to—"

"If we are defeated, retreat to the mountains behind, return along the original path to meet the reinforcements. You must give me the power of life and death. If anyone does not follow my orders, I will behead them."

Le Luo Luo was shocked: "Defeated?"

At this time, the barbarian soldiers gathered, cold light covered the field, and knives and armor clanged. Wang Yang said in a low voice:

"This is what I consider. Now, tell your soldiers that the battle they are going to is a battle that must be won! You have already arranged it properly, and the enemy's elite has been lured away by the trick! Reinforcements in the Wenyang camp have already been raised, and the large army will arrive soon! You must take the first merit before the large army, while the enemy is unprepared! Whoever captures Angta, I will give the reward. Anyone who kills the Han beauty in the enemy camp, I will reward twenty pieces of brocade and twenty gold beads for killing one! Kill a pair, and the gold beads and brocade will double! The reward for killing the Han man in the enemy camp is the same! If anyone can kill both, in addition to the previous rewards, all the gifts I have received since I went on the mission will be given to him!"

Le Luo Luo was shocked and dumbfounded. He thought to himself that Wang Yang is really a person who does big things! He is both ruthless and willing to spend money on his old feelings. Just as he was horrified, Wang Yang leaned closer and reiterated:

"I am referring to the gifts I received personally. The set of silver jewelry from your father was given to Xiao Shan, not to me..."

Le Luo Luo:...

Twilight gathered, and the barren mountains gradually disappeared.

Xiao Baoyue and Angta were instructing the military machine with the generals in the tent, when suddenly drums and horns shook the sky outside the tent, and the sound of killing pierced the ears! The sharp whistling of arrows piercing the air and the muffled sound of the army stepping on the ground rolled in like a tide!

The crowd of barbarians was shocked!

Baoyue lost her color!

Note: ① For the terrain of this place and the distance of the forest in the west, see Chapter 305 "Entering the Tent".

② The scenes of Baoyue and Wang Yang are alternating, but the time is not synchronized. The time Baoyue spent persuading Angta was longer than the time Wang Yang spent persuading Le Luo Luo, and a large part of Baoyue's rhetoric was said when she stopped and confronted Angta, so returning to the camp was also slower than Wang Yang. The barbarian negotiation rule is that ten people from both sides meet in the tent, all on foot, and horses are not allowed, so no one on both sides rode horses. The reason why Wang Yang didn't run back to reorganize the army was first to avoid alerting the other party and discovering clues. Second, it was to persuade Le Luo Luo with all his strength. In this confrontation, whether for Baoyue or Wang Yang, persuading their own barbarian leaders to believe in themselves and let them take the risk of drastic changes is the top priority related to victory or defeat.
