Sheng Fu

Chapter 709: Positioning yourself

"Wait and see." Yu Wenjun replied.

Li Guangxinyi felt suspicious when he heard this, but after a moment, he came to his senses. He could naturally see that there was something strange about this battle.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly, and tactical adjustments can occur anytime and anywhere.

Li Guangxin said: "Then I will go back and report first."

Yuwen Jun nodded, and Li Guangxin returned to Saibei City.

After Li Guangxin left, Yan Zhao came up to him and asked, "Brother, what should we do next?"

"I also feel that this battle was won a little too easily. With the strategy of the Nine Nether Bird, it should not use such a superficial delaying tactic against us."

Zhang Benchu ​​had the same thought in his mind.

Yu Wenjun smiled helplessly and said, "Now it seems that the Imperial Master has indeed failed to monitor the situation. He doesn't even have any specific information."

Yan Zhao was surprised and said, "The Grand Marshal should have specific information. After all, the State Master and the Grand Marshal cooperated with each other, and they had a tacit understanding."

Yu Wenjun shook his head and said, "No, if Yue Bo really had specific information, Li Guangxin would have told him some of the details just now. But Li Guangxin didn't tell him, which means that Yue Bo's information is also scattered and of little reference value."

"I have sensed the aura of the Black Mountain several times and have not noticed anything unusual."

"But my test may be within the calculations of the Nine Nether Bird."

“Very confusing.”

"Pass the order down, retreat to the southern plains, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

Zhang Benchu ​​and Yan Zhao heard this without any doubt and hurried down to pass on the order.

The soldiers of Hengchang had to take a step back just after winning a victory. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept the result. They wanted to go further, capture more territory, and gain more military honors.

This ambition to achieve great things is understandable, but this is how it is when marching and fighting, one must be extremely cautious.

Sure enough, after the military order was issued, many soldiers felt rebellious, but when they saw the holy weapon in Zhang Benchu's hand showing some sharpness, they had no choice but to withdraw.

Fortunately, they were all elite cavalry, and it would not be difficult to retreat to the southern plains.

……

In the Black Mountain, on top of Wanling Peak.

After Yu Wenjun withdrew his troops, Jiuyouque was the first to learn of the information.

Guangli sat at the tea table and sipped tea. Before Jiuyouque could speak, Guangli said bluntly, "So, Yuwen Jun withdrew his troops?"

Jiuyouque grinned and said, "Yes, how did you know that?"

"I originally thought that Yuwen Jun would attack the Black Mountain in one go, and Yue Bo's army would come to the rear to support us, so that we could catch him in a trap. I didn't expect that this Dragon Clan Highness would be more perceptive and decisive than we thought. He is a very difficult opponent."

Guangli smiled and said, "It is true that Yuwen Jun rarely leads troops to fight, but you have underestimated him. After all, he is the leader of the Eight Guards, and he is not weak in both civil and military strategies."

"This cheap victory made Yuwen Jun feel something was wrong. In fact, if he continued to go deeper into the Black Mountain, Yuwen Jun would not make any mistakes as long as he stopped when he saw the good results."

"But Yuwen Jun knows one thing in his heart."

Jiuyouque asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Could it be that Yue Bo wants to trip him up?"

Guangli shook his head and said, "Yue Bo is quite upright and will never embarrass Yu Wenjun on the battlefield. Yu Wenjun knows very well that it is difficult to test the strength of the Black Mountain with his five thousand Hengchang soldiers."

"He's not a good bait."

"Only when Yue Bo launches a massive attack can we see the true strength of the Black Mountain Land. Your Highness is very cunning, but he just doesn't show it on the surface."

"And Yue Bo will also understand this truth." "Just wait and see, in the next few days, Yue Bo's army will be dispatched."

Jiuyouque said: "Then Yuwen Jun will be left aside for the time being. His troops should not have a significant impact on the situation of this battle. After a victory, they will be able to face the folks in the human world."

Guangli frowned slightly and said, "It's hard to say. I don't know what this guy is up to."

……

Saibei City, City Lord’s Mansion.

In the main hall, after listening to Li Guangxin's report, Yue Bo paced back and forth in the hall and smiled faintly: "You are so kind that you even knew to send us some monsters to practice with."

Yue Bo also realized that this victory was too easy.

At this moment, a red bird flew through the void and brought a secret letter. Yue Bo opened it and said casually, "Yu Wenjun has retreated to the southern plains. He did not rush forward and was more cautious than we thought."

Li Guangxin was puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

"The beginning has been made, and the rest depends on us to test the truth ourselves." Li Guangxin said.

Every move is carefully calculated.

Yue Bo said: "There is no need to look at Yu Wenjun in this way. His troops only have cavalry, and even the number of formation masters is very small. It is impossible to test his strength."

"Only our army can test the strength of the enemy. He also brought us some monsters to practice with. It is reasonable for him to have made contributions and it is also very good for his reputation."

"Moreover, as long as he defends the southern plains, when the Nine Nether Bird launches a massive attack, he will be the first person to face the beast tide."

"There is nothing wrong with this action, and you should put aside some of the prejudices in your heart."

"I'll make a decision after the secret agent comes back tonight."

"No matter what, we have to test the Black Mountain area."

Li Guangxin bowed with both hands and said solemnly: "Yes, sir!"

Southern plains.

Yuwen Jun, Zhang Benchu ​​and Yan Zhao were gathered in the big tent. Yan Zhao and Zhang Benchu ​​were still calculating and pondering, while Yuwen Jun was leaning lazily in his chair, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Brother, why are you so relaxed?" Yan Zhao couldn't help but ask.

Yu Wenjun asked back: "What results can you deduce?"

Yan Zhao hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed.

Yu Wenjun said: "This battle will consume the national strength of the human race, and will also consume the morale of the human race. In fact, Yue Bo can just retreat to the northern city and not come out. He will fight back against the enemy and build earthen forts. Anyway, Yue Bo's army has already mastered the Art of Conferring the Gods. In this case, Jiuyouque really has no good way to break the deadlock."

“But that’s just on the surface.”

"In fact, if Yue Bo retreats, the entire human world will always be covered with the shadow of the demon army approaching. Many current affairs will become hesitant, and people's hearts will be scattered. In addition, the work-for-relief program in the north is still in full swing. Only a great victory can settle the situation."

"In fact, we don't need a big victory. A loss on both sides is fine, provided that the human military is not seriously injured."

"The best strategy is to attack the enemy's mind. In terms of strategy, the Nine Nether Bird has the upper hand. It all depends on how Yue Bo makes his move."

After hearing what Yuwen Jun said, Yan Zhao seemed to understand something and looked at Zhang Benchu ​​beside him.

Yan Zhao suddenly realized, "So, we need to send a large army to attack the Black Mountain area to test the situation? Only when we reach that point can we see the situation clearly. And our victory is very likely given to us by the Nine Nether Bird. It's more like a provocation."

Yu Wenjun exhaled slowly and said, "Not too stupid, we just need to get into position."
