The assassination of more than a thousand Heavenly Hunt Realm experts caused the hearts of everyone in Big Yellow City to darken.
What a terrifying force it was.
If they continued to harass the soldiers in Big Yellow City in the daytime, not to mention whether their bodies could survive, this morale would probably fall to the bottom soon.
We need to find a way to deal with this.
Xu Han wanted this, so did Lin Shou and Mr. Lu. They arranged for people to bring the injured soldiers to be treated, and many generals were called into the attic on the city wall to discuss countermeasures.
Xu Han originally did not want to participate in such a matter. After all, he did not understand this path. If he had a bad idea, it would be self-defeating. It would not be good.
But this time, Xu Han followed everyone into the pavilion after thinking for a bit.
In the pavilion was a large wooden table, on which was placed the sand table of the situation inside and outside Big Yellow City Pass. Apart from that, there was no other unnecessary furnishings.
After entering the sect, Lin Shou sat in the first seat, and the rest of the people lined up in turn. As for Xu Han, who was the last to enter the sect, there was only one last seat left.
Lin Shou, who was about to speak after sitting down, suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Han. He was slightly stunned and hesitated.
With Xu Han's status, even though Tiance Prefecture had already assumed the attitude of Lin Shou as the leader, Xu Han should still sit at the head of the crowd. However, because Xu Han hadn't participated in the previous meetings, everyone ignored this matter. Seeing Xu Han arrive, Lin Shou realized that this matter was inappropriate.
Just as he was about to get up, Xu Han waved his hand at him, indicating that he would not dodge.
The exchange between the two of them was extremely concealed and did not attract the attention of the crowd. Lin Shou was stunned for a moment before putting away this thought. Then, he said with a deep gaze, "The Mu Clan Army's foundation is truly great."
The first sentence of the opening scene pushed the hearts of the crowd to the bottom.
A thousand experts above the Heavenly Hunt Realm was an extremely impressive number. Perhaps only the Long Night Division of the Great Zhou would be able to produce such a luxurious lineup.
If Mu Ji was willing to go all out, relying on these 1,000 Heavenly Hunt Realm experts and 300,000 troops, it would not be too difficult to take down Big Yellow City.
However, it was clear that he wanted to preserve his strength.
His target was Zhu Xian, the emperor sitting high in the Pu Tian Palace.
None of the people present liked Zhu Xian, but they were helpless. Right now, they had no choice but to use their lives to protect the head lord.
"But what Mu Ji wants is not only Big Yellow City. This is his plan. Of course, it is also his weakness." The old general's words changed as he spoke.
Everyone's eyes lit up, especially Lin Yuguo, who was familiar with Lin Shouzi's temperament. At that time, he turned his eyes to look straight at his grandfather.
He was already accustomed to having Lin Shou around. As long as he was alive, there was nothing in this world that could defeat this old man. He only needed to do as Lin Shou wished.
"Yu Guo, tell me, what would you do if it were you?" Lin Shou also sensed Lin Yu Guo's gaze. A divine light flashed in his eyes. He swallowed the words that had originally reached his mouth and said this.
Lin Yu Guo did not think that it would be his turn to speak. He was slightly stunned. He wanted to say something in front of everyone, but he felt that it was inappropriate. After pondering for a long time, he really couldn't find a perfect solution. Therefore, he could only shake his head in shame, "I don't know …"
Lin Shou frowned. Lin Yuguo was already thirty-four years old.
At this age, he was not young, and he was a little too old…
He secretly sighed, '"Mu Ji is only thinking of taking down Big Yellow City with the smallest loss. Although his plan is good, it is destined that he will not dare to face us head-on in a short period of time. The best way to change the situation where we are being led away by him is to take the initiative to attack!" Mu Ji finally put aside his thoughts of berating his grandson in public.
As soon as Lin Shou finished speaking, the room was filled with noise.
Take the initiative to attack? Relying on Big Yellow City's deep walls, they might still be able to arrive for a while. If they took the initiative to attack, the slightest slip of an eye would destroy the entire army.
'"I'm afraid Old General Lin's plan is inappropriate! With Mu Ji's cautious temperament, he must be prepared. Not to mention whether or not he could obtain the results of the surprise attack, even if there were, it probably wouldn't be too many. It would be difficult for him to injure his muscles and bones. On the contrary, we are like this. If we are careless, we will never be able to recover." Hou Ling quickly retorted. As the commander of the Ce Manor's army, his cultivation base was naturally quite prestigious. In addition, his words were reasonable and well-founded, causing everyone present to nod in agreement. Clearly, he shared his worries.
"I think you have misunderstood General Lin's meaning." Just as everyone was discussing, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, "If I'm not mistaken, Old General Lin's intention is not to take the initiative to attack, but rather an ambush!"
'"If Mu Ji wants to rely on this uninterrupted feint to drag down Big Yellow City, then he will definitely use his 1,000 plus Heavenly Hunting Realm experts to attack and harass us today. At that time, we will use all our schemes to pick out the experts in the city to cooperate with the army and use the rain of arrows to suppress and execute the beheading operation!" That person said this with a smile on his face, as if he was very confident in his judgment.
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lin Shou, as if they were asking him if what the person who suddenly spoke was saying was true.
The old general smiled and nodded his head. "That's right, but this old man has the same intention. If I can command this, I can plan more carefully. Perhaps I can obtain the battle result and cut off one of Mu Ji's arms. These two can also rub Mu Ji's spirit. These three things will naturally increase our morale and turn passivity into initiative."
After saying that, Lin Shou turned his gaze to the speaker and asked, "May I know what to call this general?"
"Tiance Prefecture, Zhou Zhang." Hearing this, the man stood up and respectfully cupped his hands. His expression was calm, but there was not the slightest bit of arrogance.
"The Tian Ce Mansion is filled with talented people. It's truly enviable." Hearing this, Lin Shou nodded, but his gaze inadvertently fell on Xu Han, who was at the end. He thought to himself, Compared to this Zhou chapter, this Young Manor Master of the Tian Ce Mansion was truly too mediocre. He did not know what the Headmaster thought, but he actually passed the position of Manor Master to Xu Han.
Of course, these were family matters of the Tian Ce Mansion. No matter how much he admired Zhou Zhang in his heart, Lin Shou remained calm on the surface. His expression became serious as he swept his gaze across the entire audience. "Then, this plan has been decided. Everyone, prepare yourselves well. We need to let Mu Ji taste the might of my Great Zhou man!"
Hearing his words, everyone present stood up and agreed.
From last night until now, they had truly felt a little useless. It was as if their entire bodies had plenty of strength, yet they had nowhere to release it. Now that they heard this plan, they were naturally filled with energy.
"I'm afraid this plan is somewhat inappropriate."
But at this moment, another sudden sound sounded.
Everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look. At the end of the long table, a youth dressed in sackcloth with a white cloth tied to his right arm looked straight at Lin Shou. His mouth was filled with words.
This youth was none other than the Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master, Xu Han.
The battles of the past few days had been busy, and Mu Ji had used such a sinister method. Everyone was tired of dealing with it, and Xu Han had almost never participated in the battles. They had almost forgotten about the existence of this Young Manor Master.
Seeing Xu Han suddenly speak, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Lin Shou, who was sitting on the first seat, narrowed his eyes.
Although Xu Han didn't have much ability in his eyes, he didn't lack the heart to tolerate others. This was a very important point for a person in power. If Xu Han was able to do this, with the reputation of the Tian Ce Mansion, it was possible for him to gather people of insight from all over the world and reproduce the glory of the Tian Ce Mansion back then.
However, Xu Han's sudden words caused Lin Shou to secretly carve out Xu Han's only advantage in his heart.
In his opinion, Xu Han's current appearance was nothing more than seeing Zhou Zhang in the limelight, and he was unwilling to be outdone by his subordinates.
There was nothing wrong with the young man having such a strong desire to compete. However, Lin Shou couldn't help but feel that this young manor master didn't know the importance of such an important matter.
But on the surface, he was still patient. He looked at Xu Han and asked, "What does Lord Manor Master mean?"
Hearing this, Xu Han also stood up. He looked at the crowd and lowered his head to ponder for a while.
Lin Shou's attitude made him believe his previous judgement even more, and his evaluation of this young manor lord couldn't help but drop a little.
He turned his head to look at Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu gave him a calm look. Lin Shou had no choice but to calm down and wait for Xu Han to speak. He wanted to see what the Young Manor Master could say.
"Actually, I agree with Old General Lin's plan." After a few tens of breaths of silence, Xu Han finally spoke.
"Huh?" Lin Shou raised his eyebrows and didn't comment.
"But I, General Guan, seem to be planning to arrange for all generals to guard against the surprise attack of the Heavenly Hunt Realm experts in Mu Ji's hands from now on."
"Do you think there's something wrong?" This time, before Lin Shou could say anything, a guard general beside him asked, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Mu Ji's repeated feint had already exhausted the soldiers in Big Yellow City. If they didn't find an opportunity to launch a counterattack and drag it on, the situation in Big Yellow City would only become even more passive. Therefore, everyone believed that this counterattack was urgent.
However, Xu Han did not seem to notice the dissatisfaction in the general's mouth, nor did he notice the distrust wrapped in the gazes of the crowd.
He sank his eyes and continued, "Of course, I know that the situation in Big Yellow City is not optimistic, but the more so, the more cautious we have to be. Otherwise…"
"Prefecture Master, do you have any good ideas? Come quickly. We reckless men understand all these principles, so you don't have to work so hard to memorize them from us." Unexpectedly, before Xu Han could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a rough voice. The person who spoke was another guard general in Big Yellow City, called Meng Tong. He seemed to be of extremely high seniority and was an old general who had followed Lin Shou for many years.
These words had clearly pierced the hearts of everyone present. For a moment, bursts of laughter sounded from within the hall.
Xu Han frowned and smiled. He wasn't angry at all. He changed the topic and said confidently, "General, what you said is very true. Then I will speak straightforwardly."
"I thought that our army should arrange for our soldiers to cultivate in the daytime without deploying any city defenses."
