Chapter 156 Wen Zhong's Countermeasures
This fear does not come from the enemy's strength, but from the fear of the unknown and speculation about possible conspiracies.

Wen Zhong knew clearly that if his guess came true, then the Jiuxiao Army’s celebration and victory at this moment would be in vain.

A huge conspiracy is quietly looming over them, waiting for them to fall into the trap.

If this conspiracy succeeds, the Jiuxiao Army will face an unprecedented crisis.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhong couldn't help but shudder.

He felt as if a cold wind was blowing from behind him, causing him to involuntarily tighten his armor.

He understood that he could not sit idly by and must take action as soon as possible to deal with this possible crisis.

However, just as he was about to call his generals to discuss countermeasures, an even more terrifying idea suddenly popped up in his mind: If this conspiracy is true, how will the enemy act?

What is their goal?
Ye Sui?

still is
The Jade Unicorn behind!

These questions made Wen Zhong feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He immediately realized that he had to think more deeply about the problem before he could find a solution.

So he went back to the map again and studied the battle situation carefully.

His eyes moved slowly across the map. Every mark and every route represented a possibility and a strategy.

Trying to find the enemy's weaknesses, while also looking for opportunities that you can exploit.

However, as time went by, Wen Zhong's mood became increasingly heavy.

He found that no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't seem to get rid of the feeling of being shrouded in conspiracy.

This feeling made him feel deeply powerless and frustrated, as if he was 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 Jiuxiao Army, he shouldered the fate and hope of the entire army.

We cannot succumb to the enemy's conspiracy, nor can we put our soldiers 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 located, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is the only way to the heart of Dayong.

This majestic pass was once one of the important links for Dayong to resist enemies from all directions.

Later, with the expansion of Dayong's territory.

The strategic position of this great pass has declined somewhat.

But because of the dangerous terrain.

It was still developed by Dayong as an important city.

If the enemy really has any conspiracy, then Longmen Pass is likely to be one of their targets.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhong immediately summoned all the generals of the Jiuxiao Army.

At this time, inside the Jiuxiao Army's tent, Wen Zhong's face was more solemn than ever before, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Everyone felt the uneasiness in the commander-in-chief's heart. It was a keen intuition of unknown danger that made them involuntarily tense up.

Wen Zhong stood in front of the map, his fingers wandering among the mountains, rivers, and finally stopped at the location of Longmen Pass.

His voice was deep and powerful: "Everyone, I feel like something is wrong."

"Since General Ye Sui went to war with Dayong, the war has gone smoothly, but it has been too smooth."

"I'm worried that this is a trick by the enemy to deliberately lure us deeper."

When all the generals heard this, they looked at each other in shock.

As the commander-in-chief of the Jiuxiao Army, Wen Zhong led the Jiuxiao Army to fight in the south and the north.

They all knew that Wen Zhong's intuition was always accurate, and his concerns this time were not groundless.

For a moment, the big tent fell into silence.

Wen Zhong continued, "Longmen Pass is strategically located and is the throat of the road leading to Dayong."

"We must enter Longmen Pass in advance and seize this strategic location to prevent the enemy from making a deception."

At this point, his eyes swept across the faces of the generals one by one, and finally fixed on two generals with burly stature and resolute faces: "Li Jinlong, Pei Xingyan, I order the two of you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers and go to Longmen Pass to deploy defenses immediately."

"Make sure the pass is safe before the main force of my Jiuxiao Army arrives." "Yes!"

Li Jinlong and Pei Xingyan accepted the order and turned to leave.

His steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was stepping on everyone's hearts.

However, Wen Zhong's brows did not relax.

He knew that sending troops to defend Longmen Pass was only the first step. What was more important 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 carry it out.

His gaze swept across the faces of the generals again, and finally stopped on the Pei father and son.

The identity implanted by the Pei family is that of a staunch family of the Yun Palace.

Then, Pei Renji, the head of the Pei family of this generation, 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.

The three sons born were all outstanding.

There is no need to talk about Pei Yuanqing.

At such a young age, he is already a powerful god of war.

Even more exaggerated than Prince Su Ye of Yunwang.

This is talent, which cannot be compared with resources.

I can't envy him, he is the kind of person who is chased by God and fed by God.

Although Su Ye's talent is already among the best in the world.

But he is still no match for Pei Yuanqing, a god of war who was born for the battlefield.

The other eldest brother Pei Xingyan was also extremely brave, although not as exaggerated as the third brother Pei Yuanqing.

But he is also a rare and powerful general.

Not to mention my second brother Pei Xingjian.

He has the demeanor of a Confucian general, and is both a man of letters and military strategy.

Use troops like a god!

It can even be said that Wen Zhong has always admired Pei Xingjian, the second brother of the Pei family.

After all, for a commander like Wen Zhong.

No matter how brave a person is, the impact he can have on the battlefield is ultimately limited.

The direction of a large-scale war ultimately lies in the hands of the commander who is behind the scenes.

Therefore, Wen Zhong had great admiration for the second son of the Pei family in his memory.

He often brought it with him to teach him his own military strategies.

He intends to train him to be his successor.

In the future when I get old.

Let Pei Xingjian replace himself and continue to assist the next generation of King Yun.

That’s Su Ye!
Looking at the Pei family father and son below, Wen Zhong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Shou Yue, I want to send you to lead the Jade Unicorn Elite Cavalry to rescue General Ye Sui. Do you dare to take on this important task?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingjian stepped forward without hesitation: "I will obey your orders!"

"I will fulfill my mission and save General Ye Sui at all costs!"

Wen Zhong nodded in approval. Pei Xingjian was both intelligent and brave, and he also knew something about Yu Qilin, the only Taoist soldier of the Jiuxiao Army.

At present, he is the best candidate to lead Yu Qilin this time.

He walked up to Pei Xingjian and personally handed him a command arrow symbolizing the commander of Yu Qilin: "This command arrow represents my trust and expectation. I hope you will win the first battle and achieve success immediately!"

Pei Xingjian took the command arrow with both hands and held it tightly.

There was a determination gleam in his eyes. This was the first time that the commander-in-chief let him lead the troops into battle.

It was also the first time for him to go alone to participate in such a large-scale battle.
