Subsequently, Lu Ping'an, Hu Xian and others began to analyze and discuss the situation that they would face next.

Based on the limited intelligence previously obtained by Cangwu State, plus the calculations of several generals and counsellors, the conclusion is that this time Dongyu State is likely to dispatch a hundred thousand troops!

Of course, this is not the entire force of the Dongyu State, but only a part of it, but even so, from the perspective of paper strength, it is completely sufficient to deal with the Cangwu State.

Because all the soldiers and soldiers of Cangwu country together, there are only more than 100,000 people, and only about 60,000 people can be mobilized to the battlefield in these two days.

In addition to the disadvantages in numbers, the overall strength of the armed forces of the two sides differs greatly.

For example, in the army of the Cangwu Nation, there are not many monks who can reach the rebirth state, but in the 100,000 troops of the Dongyu Nation, not to mention the rebirth, even the monks in the Profound Yin state are Can find many.

This is true for the strong in the two armies, and the realm gap between ordinary soldiers is even greater.

What's more, the realm is only part of the strength. The fighting between the two armies also involves factors such as weaponry and equipment, formations and tactics, and logistical food and grass. In these respects, Cangwu Country is not even a little bit worse than Dongyu Country.

Furthermore, Qi Zhu also announced that this was his first battle since he was enthroned. Therefore, he wanted to take the imperial conquest. This also means that there will be many strong men and the Imperial Guards participating in the war, forming an extremely powerful force. Threat.

In short, what Cangwu country will face is a war of great disparity in strength and a slim chance of winning. No matter from which aspect, Cangwu country may not be able to resist the attack of the army of Dongyu country.

After learning of these circumstances, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but his face sank, and said, "It seems that this battle is indeed very difficult for our Cangwu Nation!"

Hu Xiandao: "If it is a head-on war, it is indeed difficult for us to win, but as long as we make good use of the art of war and seek out wisdom, it is not completely impossible to win with less.

Lu Pingan said: "Your Majesty has a clever plan?"

Hu Xian shook his head and said, "There is no clever plan, but there is a key point in this war that can be used. It depends on whether you can come up with a solution from this."

Lu Pingan's eyes shimmered slightly and said, "Oh? What's the point?"

Hu Xian said: "Red Lingjiang."

Hearing these three words, Lu Ping'an suddenly realized.

Dongyu Kingdom and Cangwu Kingdom are bounded by the Hongling River, and if Dongyu Kingdom wants to attack Cangwu Kingdom, it must pass through the turbulent and turbulent river.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the monk who has reached the Yuan Wu state and has the ability to fly in the air, he can fly over the Red Ling River smoothly.

However, it is not easy for the army of Dongyu State to cross the river.

One is that, even if the Dongyu Nation's army is strong, the cultivation level of most of the 100,000 army must have not reached the Yuanwu level. That is to say, they must use other methods to cross the river. .

The second is that with the number of 100,000 people, accidents are prone to occur during the entire process of crossing the river, and it takes a long time.

But for Cangwu Nation, this is a big opportunity, as long as you make good use of it, you may be able to severely damage the army of Dongyu Nation!

Lu Pingan said: "What your Majesty said is that Hong Lingjiang is indeed too crucial, and it may even determine the outcome of the entire war!"

Hu Xian said: "But the question is, what should we do to prevent the army of Dongyu State from crossing the river smoothly?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room fell into thinking.

After a while, Tian He said: "I have some formations that can control the river, and I can do it very concealed."

Guan Xiantu shook his head and said: "A similar method, I have thought about it before. In theory, it is okay, but it is really difficult to implement. On the one hand, I want to form an array in the Hongling River. It's not easy. On the other hand, we simply can't judge where the East Yu Kingdom army will come from on the Hongling River, so there is no way to donate the formation in advance."

Tian He thought for a moment, and said, "Well, it makes sense. Our Cangwu and Dongyu countries use the Hongling River as the border, but we can never be in the river flow along that entire border. All set the formation."

After that, everyone thought of a few more solutions, but in the end they were all rejected.

After a while, Luo Yi asked, "Do the generals and counsellors of Cangwu country have any strategies about this matter? After all, they are the people who are familiar with military books and have more combat experience."

Hu Xian shook his head and said: "Our soldiers in Cangwu Nation have never encountered a war of this level. The previous combat experience has not played a significant role, and in history, Cangwu Nation has not been The Dongyu Kingdom has invaded heavily, so there is no military strategy to learn from."

Guan Xiantu said: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of strength. The cultivation level is not high enough, and the ability is very limited. No matter how you think of a solution, it is difficult to break through your own limitations."

Hu Xian said: "That's not wrong. If the strong in our army is like a cloud, and any general has the ability to overturn the river, how can we not think of a way to successfully implement it?"

At this time, Lu Ping’an said: “Actually, if I act personally, I should be able to prevent the army of the Dongyu State from crossing the river, but the problem is that if the other party also sends a transcendental powerhouse, then I might be restrained Living."

More than two years ago, Yan Laoba used a sword to split the water of the Hongling River. The scene at that time was quite spectacular, which impressed Lu Ping'an deeply, and he still remembers it still.

But now Lu Pingan's strength is much stronger than that of Yan Laoba at that time, which means that he can do more destructive things than "a sword to open the river".

But the premise of all this is that he must have the opportunity to shoot.

But for this, Guan Xiantu and Tianhe and others are even more helpless.

Guan Xiantu sighed, and said: "We want to help you, but we have more than our heart and we don't have enough energy. After all, we can't intervene in matters of the level of the supernatural realm powerhouse."

Tian He smiled bitterly, and said: "It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the opponent comes out of a supernatural power, we can kill all of us with a wave of hand, so we really can't do anything about this matter."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of something and said: "Or, ask my master to help?"

Lu Ping’an said: “I’ll tell you, I’ve long thought about whether to ask Shimen people to help out, but later I thought it’s better not to involve Shimen. After all, we, Yunjianmen, are located in Dongyu country. Even with the help of the Menzong, I won this time, but I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble to the division in the future. I have already been involved in the Cangwu country, and I don’t want to drag the Menzong into this place. Come from the muddy water of the beach."

Guan Xiantu nodded and said, "Xiaoyou Lu’s concerns are not unreasonable. A few hundred years ago, your Menzong had a very fierce conflict with the royal family of Dongyu Kingdom. That struggle directly led to your Menzong. From the Jiangshan Sword Sect back then to the Cloud Sword Sect, and if the Cloud Sword Sect now goes against the Dongyu Kingdom’s royal family, I am afraid that the consequences will not be imagined!"

Hu Xian also said: "If someone is willing to help, of course we are willing to accept and be grateful, but if after helping, it will make the other party difficult to protect themselves, then there is no need. Our own difficulties in Cangwu country cannot be passed on. Go to other forces."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "I also know the historical events of the Cloud Sword Gate very well, but if we don’t do this, how can we resist the army of Dongyu Kingdom this time? And, I don’t mean to let my master carry the Cloud Sword. The person at the door, as long as she comes alone, can solve very big problems for us."

Lu Ping’an said: “It’s still dangerous to do this. Sister Mu is also the peak master of Yunjianmen no matter what, every word and deed is enough to represent the will of Yunjianmen, even if she can hide her true identity as much as possible, just in case If someone recognizes it, then it’s in trouble."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Brother Lu, do you remember that when we left Yunjianmen, my master once said that if we encounter any difficulties that cannot be resolved, we should contact her as soon as possible? Even if you are more considerate , You have to listen to what she said? And, do you think she won’t know after the news of Dongyu State’s declaration of war on Cangwu State goes out?"

Lu Pingan certainly remembered what Mu Qing said, and he also agreed to Mu Qing.

However, this matter was no trivial matter. Lu Ping'an still thought about it for a while before making a decision.

Lu Pingan said to Meng Shaoyuan: "You are right. Sister Mu will know about this sooner or later. If I don't tell her personally, she will definitely blame me again."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Then you mean, are you going to talk to her?"

Lu Pingan nodded and said: "Like you said, let's see what she thinks first. Whether to help or not, I believe she will have her own decision. If she really wants to help, even if I don't let her Come, I guess she will also come by herself."

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Of course, you don't know the character of my master. Sometimes even the headmaster can't control her."

Hu Xian said: "If there is a strong person to help, it is naturally a good thing, but don't force it."

Lu Ping'an said: "Well, I have my own measures. Then I will go outside to contact my senior sister first, and I will be back later..."

Hu Xian didn't ask too much, and waved: "Go."

Lu Pingan arched his hands to Hu Xian and the others, then turned and walked out.

"Brother Lu, I will go too."

Meng Shaoyuan said and followed out.

Then, Lu Pingan and Meng Shaoyuan walked together on the corridor outside the Imperial Study Room.

In fact, what Lu Pingan was worried about was that Mu Qing's informal character might say something casually. It would not be great if it was heard by Hu Xian and others.

So he chose to avoid it for a while, and after setting up a silent formation outside, he and Mu Qing conducted a thousand miles of sound transmission...
