Chapter 276: Jia Xu's strategy, the emperor and his subjects have a heart-to-heart talk!

The night was lonely, with the full moon hanging high in the sky, and the pitiful cries of jackdaws filtered into the military camp through the layers of darkness.

For a whole day, Da Yan never moved a single soldier, seemingly waiting deliberately. Ning Fan sat in the central army's tent, opposite Jia Xu.

"Wen He, is there any news from the northern border of Dayan?"

"Back to my lord, there are 300,000 troops in the Northern Territory of Dayan to guard against the Hunu, and 50,000 Great Flame Dragonriders are traveling in the desert all year round, appearing and disappearing!"

"Now Da Yan probably has not received any news about the Zhenbei Army going south."

"Otherwise, they will definitely attack our northern territory with all their strength."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Ning Fan nodded slightly and looked at the poisonous warrior in front of him calmly: "In your opinion, what are the chances that I, Dayu, will win this battle?"

"Ten percent!"

"Why?"

Ning Fan had a look of curiosity on his face. During today's discussion about the war, Jia Xu sat in the corner without saying a word, let alone making any comments on Ning Fan's strategy.

Now, when Ning Fan asked him face to face, Jia Xu's expression fell into deep thought.

"My lord, it's very easy to destroy Da Yan!"

"Appreciate further details!"

There was a strange look in Ning Fan's eyes, and Jia Xu said leisurely: "Now that Da Yan's more than 100,000 remnant troops are camping with their backs in the canyon, their self-supplied water source will surely dry up after a fire!"

"If we can poison the water source from the upstream spring, Da Yan will definitely suffer a heavy setback!"

"Besides, the east wind is howling tonight, and there is a wind outlet at the mouth of the valley. The wind helps the fire, and if you attack it with fire, you can defeat Da Yan in one fell swoop!"

"The soldiers of Dayan fought bloody battles for a day and were surrounded by dangers. They must be exhausted physically and mentally now. If they attack the camp tonight, they can also win a big victory."

Jia Xu's expression was calm, but his eyes were shining with wisdom, and he said calmly: "The soldiers of Dayan are like tigers whose front legs have been chopped off. They look frightened but are actually tired. On the other hand, I, the soldiers of Dayu, have a military spirit that can be used. The soldiers are well fed.”

After Ning Fan heard this, he took a deep look at Jia Xu and asked directly: "Since you have so many good ideas, why don't you say anything in front of the generals during the day?"

"My lord, your plan is also feasible. Besides, this is a perfect opportunity for you to show your face!"

"If this battle goes well, I'm afraid Shangshu Ji will completely fall in love with you."

"Jia Wenhe, Jia Wenhe!"

Ning Fan sighed leisurely, personally refilled a cup of tea for him, and said with a serious face: "With the help of you, I am not afraid of all enemies in the world!"

"You don't need to hide your clumsiness in front of me, let alone be afraid of stealing my limelight!"

"Including what happened before, I can fight openly and openly, but I don't need to use some underhanded methods, especially against my own people. Can you understand?"

"Lord!"

Jia Xu also stared directly at Ning Fan, and his tone was also very solemn: "You are a king, and you can act aboveboard, be kind or just!"

"Because this is your charm!"

"But I am a minister, and I am also a counselor!"

"Whether it is a dirty trick or a cunning plan, as long as it is beneficial to the lord and can save the lord worry and effort, this is what a subordinate should do!"

"Whether it's treacherous or filthy, this is what a counselor like me should bear!"

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Ning Fan gradually understood. From Jia Xu's perspective, perhaps what he did was not wrong from his own standpoint, and could even be called "loyalty is the main thing!"

"That's fine!"

Ning Fan shook his head slightly, and carefully examined the poisonous man in front of him who was known for his "preservation of self-discipline", and said in deep thought: "I have no objection to you using some machinations or despicable methods!"

"But these methods can only be used on the enemy. As I just said, whether it is poisoning or setting fire, as long as it can annihilate the enemy, I will not object to more despicable methods!"

"But for your own people, you have to let me know first, do you understand?"

"Xu, thank you for your teaching, my lord!"

The king and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, slowly raised the teacups and touched them together gently.

"Zhuan Zhu!"

Ning Fan called softly and saw a figure appear quietly outside the tent. It seemed that because of Jia Xu's existence, he deliberately did not show up in front of the two of them!

"Lord!"

Hearing a hoarse voice coming from outside the tent, Ning Fan was startled for a moment, and then whispered: "Have you heard Mr. Wenhe's plan just now?"

"yes!"

"The water source was poisoned and the tents were set on fire!"

"Go do it!"

"promise!"

The figure outside the tent disappeared silently, but Jia Xu looked at Ning Fan: "My lord, are you planning to take action tonight?"

"good!"

Ning Fan looked at the poisonous warrior in front of him with a smile: "I thought your strategy could defeat this enemy army faster and with less worry!"

"Can……"

"It doesn't matter, I have everything!"

…

The night gradually became gloomy, and even the stars disappeared a lot. Dayan's military camp was also brightly lit, and there were layers of checkpoints in front of the camp, for fear that Dayu's army would attack late at night!

Several miles outside the camp.

A figure appeared quietly outside the tent. Zhuanzhu looked at the military camp stretching for several miles in front of him and said calmly: "Tonight's assessment position - Zhong Kui!"

"Assessment requirement: Assassinate Chen Zhaochong, the commander-in-chief of Dayan's Eastern Expedition, before the fire breaks out in the camp!"

"action!"

At the command, more than ten figures in the darkness flew towards Dayan's camp. A slender figure landed silently in front of Zhuan Zhu and said with a smile: "Sir, why did you attack Dayan tonight?"

"Hmph!"

Zhuan Zhu looked at the woman in front of him coldly, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The woman didn't seem to be afraid of him, but smiled and said softly: "Sir, when will you take me to see the legendary master?"

"Do what you should do, and don't forget the rules of the underworld!"

When Zhuan Zhu mentioned the rules of the underworld, the woman's expression She was obviously frozen for a moment, with a hint of fear in her eyes, but she still giggled and said, "Could it be that the master is Dayu's man?"

"Goddess Mengpo, go back and find Judge Cui to receive punishment!"

Looking at the black token in Zhuan Zhu's hand, the woman's expression also became solemn, and she bowed respectfully, "I know my mistake!"

"The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, the Black and White Impermanence, wandering gods day and night, after one stick of incense, I want to see the fire in Dayan's tent."

"Yes!"

After Zhuan Zhu's order was issued, more than a dozen figures flew towards Dayan's military tent in an instant, with ghostly figures flashing, easily passing through the layers of guarded gates.

"You go too!"

"Yes!"

Mengpo looked at Zhuan Zhu, who had a thin face, with some resentment, and lightly tapped her toes, disappearing directly into the darkness. Zhuan Zhu sighed for a long time, and it seemed that he had to intensify his practice for a while.

As the power of the underworld grew, Zhuan Zhu also discovered that the power of several gods under his command, the Ten Kings of Hell, was actually slightly stronger than his. Although it did not threaten the rule of the underworld, Zhuan Zhu, as the leader of the underworld, did not want to be weaker than others!
