Chapter 430: Just Depends on the Mood of the Night

The girl finally came back to her senses, and just as she was about to scream, she hurriedly covered her mouth, then remembered something and changed it to covering her face.

She quickly squatted down, completely ignoring whether her vital parts were exposed, grabbing the ground with one hand, grabbing all her clothes, and then picking up the fragments that fell on the ground one by one, not leaving behind a single item that could expose her identity, and only then jumped out the window and fled.

Wei Yuan had been watching quietly, and only then said to her back: "Can you leave your name? When Brother Li returns, I can tell him."

"Go to hell!" The girl's voice came from the night.

Wei Yuan was thoughtful; it seemed Li Zhi hadn't been idle on weekdays, with so many tricks, no wonder this guy couldn't become a Dharma Form for so long.

Wei Yuan shook his head and continued to read the official documents, while the cat, snake, and sable went about their own business.

As for the Peacock Monk, Wei Yuan couldn't do anything about him now; this guy was elusive, and even Wei Yuan's perception was hard to detect. If he were in Azure Void, relying on the huge amplification of the boundary, Wei Yuan would be able to catch the monk, but in Zhenshan, there was no way.

Early the next morning, Wei Yuan summoned all the generals of the Zhenshan boundary, including the two miscellaneous generals in the Dharma Form Nurturing Spirit Realm.

Wei Yuan ordered people to spread out the map, pointed to the largest mountain people gathering place near the boundary, and said: "These mountain people have been entrenched here for a long time, and since we are idle, we might as well go over and overturn it. Now the deployment is as follows..."

Next, Wei Yuan issued a series of orders.

After a few orders were issued, the generals under Li Zhi's command turned from surprise to shock, and then to disbelief.

These orders were extremely detailed, even the marching routes of small units of three thousand people were arranged, where to go, and at what time to arrive at what place, everything was arranged clearly.

Tens of thousands of troops finally had to arrive at a wide river valley thirty li away from the mountain people's camp at the same moment, which was also the battlefield for the final decisive battle.

Wei Yuan gave every general commanding troops alone a map, marked with their assembly area upon arrival, and the formation they needed to line up.

After finishing the orders, Wei Yuan finally said: "Brother Li granted me the power of life and death before leaving; anyone who dares not to obey orders can be beheaded on the spot. I hope that in the following battles, I will not have the opportunity to use this power."

A miscellaneous general reminded softly: "Lord Wei, there are twelve thousand mountain people there."

"I know."

The miscellaneous general closed his mouth.

When the sunlight fell, the Zhenshan boundary army was full of spirit, the army marched out of the boundary, rolling forward. Dozens of scout teams set off first, scouting the surrounding terrain.

Wei Yuan had been to the Zhenshan boundary several times, and each time he would make the map details richer. This time, dozens of scouts went ahead, recording all the detailed terrain maps of a large area into the ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

The army set off in the morning and arrived at the scheduled battlefield in the afternoon.

The Azure Void troops arrived first, occupying the high ground on both sides of the river valley, and then the infantry and Dao soldiers began to dig positions, while the cavalry stood on the high slope to monitor the enemy's movements.

After a while, the Zhenshan troops arrived one after another, with a difference of a full half-hour between the first and the last.

The appearance of the human army naturally attracted the attention of the mountain people, so the mountain people swarmed over and began to line up on the opposite side.

Wei Yuan stood on the top of the mountain on horseback, with the generals under Li Zhi appearing around him one after another. When the generals arrived, Wei Yuan pointed to the mountain people on the opposite side and said lightly: "If you could all arrive on time, we would have already beaten the mountain people on the opposite side back to their old home."

The last two generals' eyes flickered, their faces ashamed, and they lowered their heads without speaking. Wei Yuan didn't say much, directly pointed out the names of the two generals, and said: "You two divisions attack first, and make up for your mistakes with meritorious service."

The two generals gritted their teeth, but still led their ten thousand soldiers to launch an attack on the mountain people's army. Just when they thought they would surely die in this battle, a hundred-zhang jade mountain suddenly fell from the sky!

The jade mountain was fierce; three of the six Dharma Forms in the mountain people's center fled instantly, and the remaining three could only take it hard, being seriously injured in one blow, and the center was in chaos. Now that Wei Yuan was striking with all his might, how could two or three Dharma Forms block it?

Next, the jade mountain appeared again, smashing a gap in the mountain people's formation, and then the Long Yi killed into the gap, chiseling through the enemy formation, and chiseled back again. Subsequently, the infantry followed, the Dao soldiers followed, and everything returned to the brainless track.

Xu Wenwu rode on a ferocious warhorse, clicked as he installed a huge magazine on his gun, and then fired several shots with one hand, and the mountain people in front fell in response.

Xu Wenwu changed to a new magazine, only feeling that he was majestic and murderous at this moment. The gun in his hand was specially made; although the caliber was much smaller than the flying sword gun for Dao Foundations, it was comparable to the anti-material sniper rifle of Xu Wenwu's previous world.

So he laughed loudly and drank: "I am also a man who uses a Barrett with one hand now!"

He was about to find the next target when he heard a sharp whistle in his ears, and then the gunshots connected into a piece, and all the Dao soldiers completed a volley.

And then there were no enemies in front of Xu Wenwu.

The overall situation of the battlefield was clear; the Zhenshan troops were responsible for the left flank, fighting very fiercely with the mountain people, with killing sounds shaking the sky, and they were fighting each other.

The Azure Void troops were responsible for the right flank, and the mountain people on the opposite side were cut down like weeds one by one. In the blink of an eye, the mountain people on the right flank were defeated, and Azure Void turned around to outflank the left flank, and after a while, they defeated the left flank of the mountain people. This mountain people tribe that had just defeated Li Zhi not long ago threw down tens of thousands of corpses and fled over the mountains and ridges.

Looking at the fleeing mountain people, Wei Yuan felt a little regret; if Li Zhi's troops could arrive on time and give a head-on blow when the mountain people's army was lining up, then the Long Xiang army and Dao soldiers would have time to bypass the rear, block the mountain people's retreat, and swallow these hundred-plus thousand mountain people in one bite.

But marching hundreds of li and arriving with only a half-hour difference was already an elite army without a doubt, and Wei Yuan couldn't ask for more.

In fact, the Azure Void troops could do as they were told, more because there were Dao Foundation warriors leading the team, allowing Wei Yuan to grasp the progress of every unit in real-time and convey orders in real-time.

Wei Yuan didn't intend to send the Dao Foundation warriors to Li Zhi's troops; this was his biggest secret, and he didn't want to leak it to outsiders just like that.

In this battle, the arrival time difference of Li Zhi's troops was half an hour, which seemed like nothing, but if they were enemies with Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan could use this half-hour to eat up all of Li Zhi's troops. Basically, just as the previous troops were annihilated, the subsequent troops happened to arrive at the battlefield.

After the great victory, Wei Yuan didn't stop, swept away two more large strongholds of the mountain people, and then returned to Zhenshan to rest. After resting for two days, Wei Yuan felt bored and led the army to attack again.

He simply brought another twenty thousand cavalry infantry from Azure Void, and then took turns attacking, sweeping the mountain people within five hundred li clean.

A month later, when Li Zhi rushed back, he suddenly discovered that the Zhenshan boundary had expanded to one hundred and fifty li, and the spoils of war in the boundary were piled up like a mountain, too late to move and process.

Li Zhi returned to the City Lord's Mansion and saw two stacks of battle reports piled high on the desk, immediately feeling his scalp tingle.

He opened the map specially sent by the subordinate generals and saw that all the known mountain people strongholds on it were marked with an X, and many unknown mountain people strongholds were also marked, also marked with an X.

!.

On the map, there was not a single mountain people stronghold within three hundred li of the boundary, clean as if it had been licked by a dog.

At this time, Wei Yuan was leading a small unit to scout and patrol outside the boundary and had not yet returned. Taking this opportunity, Li Zhi hurriedly summoned the generals to ask how many battles had been fought in these days and how they were fought specifically.

In the mouths of the generals, these battles were fought abnormally simply; the process was basically the army arriving, then the jade mountain smashing down, then the cavalry chiseling over and chiseling back, then the whole army attacking, and then picking up the spoils of war.

Li Zhi finally understood where he and Wei Yuan were different: he lacked a jade mountain.

The jade mountain didn't have to be a jade mountain, as long as it was a high-power Dao technique with similar power, or a magic treasure could replace it. This kind of irresistible magic treasure smashing down, the strongest enemy formation on the opposite side would also be chaotic.

Fortunately, the Four Sages Academy had a profound foundation, and the Southern Qi Li family also had countless treasures, so finding a magic treasure with similar power was not difficult.

At this time, Wei Yuan returned to the boundary and met Li Zhi in the study.

Li Zhi said: "This trip didn't fail the mission, persuaded three elders, but the premise is to give you another three years. There is another elder in a swaying state, somewhat shaken, maybe needing the Xiao family to add some bargaining chips. However, brother, this trip to the Bao family, I think the key is what identity you use to negotiate with the Bao family. Just talking about interests, benefits, and exchanges, I'm afraid it won't work."

Speaking of this, Wei Yuan also understood.

Li Zhi really helped him a lot; now plus Bao Manshan, Wei Yuan had already won the support of four Great Elders, as long as he won over two more, it would be enough. The key was still what Li Zhi said, which was also what Bao Yun asked that day: what identity and stance Wei Yuan used to go to the Bao family.

So Wei Yuan returned the boundary authority; at this time, the Azure Void troops had long since returned, so Wei Yuan didn't stay any longer and returned to Azure Void himself.

Sending Wei Yuan away, Li Zhi habitually opened the map, preparing to plan the next action, to see where to use troops.

But when he saw the X marks all over the map, he realized that there were no more enemies to fight in the surrounding area, and now what he had to do was wait for the boundary to slowly expand and receive the territory.

As a result, until nightfall, Li Zhi, who was accustomed to diligence, hadn't come back to his senses.

A night with nothing to do was actually so empty.

Li Zhi then picked up his pen and wrote a letter to the daughter of a Cavalry General in Zhao Guo, sent a confidant to deliver it to her, and then meditated and cultivated himself.

According to past experience, she would arrive around dawn, and then it would be a female assassin sneaking into the enemy general's camp at night, failing the assassination and being captured instead, and being humiliated in every way.

Or a noble lady meeting her lover at midnight, but accidentally falling into the hands of bandits, and being humiliated in every way.

Or a weak woman selling herself to bury her father, having to submit to a local tyrant, and being humiliated in every way.

Which play script to activate specifically depends on the mood of the night.

But until dawn, he didn't wait for the general's daughter.

PS: Today's extra update is to give December a good omen, and by the way, ask for guaranteed monthly tickets.
