Qiu Ping said firmly: "We don't have enough time to think of a solution. His Majesty gave us only one month. Nine days have passed now. Even if we can successfully advance into Guangling County within seven days, then defeat Guangling County and march to the gates of Dezhou City,

It will take seven days at the earliest. After all, we only have seven days left to attack the city."

Mutai thought for a moment and realized that this was also the case, and said: "Okay, seven days is all. As long as you can complete it, General, the general will also guarantee to arrive on time. General, please assign a specific marching route."

Qiu Ping asked someone to bring a map and said: "Well, let's ask General Mu to lead the Xiazhou Army to Zhongshan County, and I will lead the Zuozhou Army to Dongyue County. If we encounter enemy forces on the way, we will mainly defeat them. We must quickly

The battle must be decided quickly and there must be no stalemate with the enemy. For strongholds that are difficult to conquer in a short time, some troops can be left to besiege, and the remaining main force can continue to rush to Guangling County. But one thing needs to be remembered. No matter how heavy or urgent the marching task is,

Everyone must ensure that their escape route is clear.”

After sending Mu Yuhua away, Mulangye took Mu Yong to the front line of Guangling County and took command personally. Along with him were the 100,000 Ghost Capital Army and their commander-in-chief, Ji Yu.

When Mulangye learned that Qiu Ping and Mutai were marching separately, he immediately decided to concentrate all the 200,000 defenders distributed in Zhongshan County and Dongyue County into Zhongshan County to stop Mutai and his Xiazhou with all their strength.

Legion.

Regarding Mulangye's decision, Mu Yong and Ji Yu were both puzzled: "Little prince, why did you specifically target Mutai and the Xiazhou Army? Logically speaking, Qiu Ping's Zuozhou Army was the one who attacked Dezhou this time.

The main force, even if it wants to block the attack, should block the Sashu Army."

Mulangye smiled and said: "What you have seen is just this battle, but I have a longer-term view."

Mu Yong scratched his head: "Little prince, I still haven't figured it out. What are the long-term benefits of this?"

Mulangye analyzed patiently: "The Xiazhou Army led by Mrs. Mu is nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in fact it is the family armed force of the Mu family. There is more of a cooperative relationship between them and Ye Xi. The reason why I

Deliberately targeting the Xiazhou Legion is just to drive a wedge between them."

Mu Yong still didn't react: "What kind of divorce method?"

Mulangye said with hatred: "You idiot, let me ask you, who is the commander-in-chief of the imperial court in this battle, and whose man is he?"

Mu Yong answered mechanically: "The enemy commander's name is Qiu Ping, and he is a confidant of the puppet emperor Ye Xi."

Mulangye continued: "Isn't this the end? The commander-in-chief is Ye Xi's man, but the Xiazhou Army who came to help suffered heavy losses in the end. Do you think Mu Fan thinks that it was Ye Xi who wanted to save the imperial army?"

Strength, while weakening the Mu family’s army, deliberately using his people as cannon fodder.”

Mu Yong questioned: "Neither Ye Xi nor Mu Fan are fools. It will be difficult to alienate them with just one or two battles."

Mulang Ye said with a gloomy smile: "I don't expect to successfully alienate them through this battle. However, I have decided that in the future, whenever the Mu family's army and Ye Xi's imperial army participate in the battle at the same time,

I give priority to "taking care" of the Mu family's army. As time goes by, there will definitely be a estrangement between Mu Fan and Ye Xi. Even if they don't fall out, it is an inevitable result that the Mu family's army will work against the will and be ineffective. "

Mu Yong smiled naively and said: "I understand, as long as we deliberately target the Mu family's army and cause heavy losses to the Mu family's army several times in a row, Mu Fan will conclude that Ye Xi has been using his people as cannon fodder. In order to

If we preserve our strength, Mu Fan will instruct his men to passively avoid fighting, and the joint fighting situation between the two sides will be self-defeating."

Mulang Ye suddenly said seriously: "It's good if you understand. Now I order you to immediately set off for Zhongshan County to take command. This time the strategy has been slightly adjusted. I want you to give Mutai a chance if conditions permit.

A profound lesson, even if it costs some casualties, we will not hesitate."

After Mu Yong heard the order, he immediately gave a military salute to Mu Langye: "Yes, I promise to complete the mission and teach Mu Tai a profound lesson."

Mulangye waved his hand and said: "Okay, you set off immediately. You will evacuate the assembly area after Zhongshan County, and I will inform you after I and General Ji Yu have discussed the location of the decisive battle."

After Mu Yong arrived in Zhongshan County, he immediately deployed six lines of defense on the only way for the Xiazhou Army. But the first five lines of defense were just for show. Although the scale of the defense line was not small, it looked orderly. But in reality

They only deployed two to three thousand troops, and they were not equipped with any heavy magic weapons.

After Mutai led his army to the first line of defense, he saw that the Dezhou Army had been prepared, and he hesitated to take a detour. But remembering the lesson outside Datong, he decided to send 10,000 people for a tentative attack before proceeding.

However, what he did not expect was that the first charge of this 10,000-strong army broke through the enemy's defense line. The enemy troops within the defense line collapsed after only a brief resistance. More than half of the people chose to surrender, and the remaining
