all over the world

Chapter 282
Behind the mountains and rivers with overlapping peaks are the defeated army belonging to King Yue, and also the defeated army belonging to Duanmu Yuhan. At this time, under the order of King Yue, they are planning to forcibly cross the not-so-deep river behind the mountain.

Across the water, the villas and farmlands on the other side of the river could be vaguely seen. Obviously, as long as they crossed over, the soldiers' food problem would be solved, and Chang'an might be besieged again.

Just as the soldiers of King Yue were about to take the first step on the river, they were stopped by Duanmu Yuhan's "Father, no."

"Why not?"

The king of Yue was already angry, fearing that there would be pursuers behind him, but he still held back and was willing to listen to Duanmu Yuhan's understanding of the war at this time.

"Father, you can think of it this way. If you were the chief general of Chang'an City, after a fire defeated the enemy army, you deliberately used your pursuers to drive the enemy army to this place where mountains and rivers are far away and where there is great temptation, why?"

Duanmu Yuhan was persuasive, not in a hurry, and slowly expressed his views to King Yue.

At the same time, it is also his opinion on Shui Yanqing, his love for women, and his talent in war.

"What for?"

King Yue seemed to realize that the matter was not simple, but hesitated for a moment, waiting for Duanmu Yuhan to tell him a result that he already had in mind.

A result he wasn't quite sure about.

"If I were a visionary and handsome man, I would definitely poison all the edible water sources, grain, grass, and livestock within a radius of ten miles on the opposite bank. Because once soldiers cross the river, they will definitely need grain, grass, and food. In this way, we can take down all our troops without a single soldier."

Duanmu Yuhan was neither slow nor fast, and explained the pros and cons clearly.

But at this time, Duanmu Wuze sneered at the side: "According to what you said, Yu Han, we are not crossing the river now. Are we standing here waiting to die? Waiting for the enemy to come again?"

However, King Yue seemed to have an answer. Before Duanmu Yuhan could explain and analyze, he stretched out his hand to interrupt Duanmu Wuze's words, and said deeply:
"Wu Ze, you seldom lead troops to fight, and you don't know how to adapt to local conditions. Although this place looks desperate and extremely dangerous, it is actually a plain behind the mountains. There are mountains as cover and barriers. Once an enemy army approaches Come, we have to cross the fort first, which is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They didn't follow, firstly, they were waiting for us to cross the river, and secondly, they didn't want to lose their troops."

"Father is wise."

Duanmu Yuhan bowed slightly, and when he raised his head again, he saw the dissatisfaction in Duanmu Wuze's eyes that he had been robbed of the limelight.

"Then what should we do now? Is it possible to just sit here and wait to die?"

Duanmu Wuze gave Duanmu Yuhan a cold look, apparently very disapproving of his point of view.

"How about this. If Wu Ze feels that my judgment is wrong, he can send someone to check the situation on the other side of the river first, and we will make a decision. How about it?"

Duanmu Yuhan smiled slightly, and did not argue with Duanmu Wuze, but let the facts prove everything.

He believed in his own judgment, and was persistent in his understanding of Shui Yanqing.

"Prince, there is no need. My Five Poison Sect has come back from the road ahead. Everything is exactly as Prince Yuhan expected. There is no doubt that I was poisoned."

Two women from the Five Poison Sect who had appeared in the restaurant came down from the sky across the river, landed in front of Duanmu Yuhan, and said slowly after saluting to the King of Yue.

"Are you from the Five Poison Sect?"

King Yue asked hesitantly.

The Five Poisons have already had a problem with Duanmu Yuhan's resignation, so why would they take the initiative to come to deliver news?
Among them, there is either fraud or other things.

One of the women in long skirts seemed to see King Yue's doubts, smiled reassuringly, and explained in a slow voice:

"Don't worry, king of Yue. This time we came here not at the order of the sect master, but at the order of our family teacher to assist the great cause of the king of Yue. It's a pity that my junior sister was reckless for a while and died tragically under the city gate. "

Naturally, the King of Yue didn't know the entanglement, but seeing the sincerity of the two women, he explored their road across the river before. Although he was puzzled, he said: "In this way, It’s troublesome Holy Master.”

"The king of Yue is polite. We saw that the poison in front of us is not a strange poison, so we have already detoxified the poison for the king of Yue. The king of Yue can rest assured to let the soldiers pass by to besiege the city again."

The woman in the long skirt bowed respectfully, bowed her head and said.

"The poison has been cured?"

Duanmu Wuze looked suspiciously at the woman in the long skirt, and then at Duanmu Yuhan, with distrust in his eyes.

"I have heard for a long time that the detoxification and strange poisons of the Five Poison Sect are well-known in the world. I think that the mere tricks of the Qi Kingdom are not in the eyes of the fairy. But Yuhan doesn't know why the Holy Master came to reinforce? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Sect Master?"

Duanmu Yuhan also had doubts in his heart. With the lives of so many soldiers and the life of King Yue, how could he trust others casually.

The two women exchanged glances, and they seemed to have made a decision in tacit understanding. Another woman who seemed a little cowardly stepped forward and said, "To be honest, the Holy Master is not satisfied with what the sect master has done recently. What he did, he was also dissatisfied with his daughter Murong Feixue's misconduct. That's why he came up with this plan."

"The two are saying that the Holy Master wants to replace the sect master?"

Duanmu Yuhan's gaze fell on the two women coldly, making them feel a chill.

"Yes."

The two women hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

It seems that the Holy Master had already expected that the king of Yue would be suspicious, so he simply let his subordinates reveal his cards to the king of Yue to show his sincerity.

He is a holy master who judges the situation and is decisive.

King Yue smiled heartily, looked at the two of them carefully, and said loudly: "In this case, I believe in the Holy Lord once. If he bets his future on whether I believe him or not, I will bet on my wealth and life." What is the prospect of cooperation between the two?"

"The king of Yue is really quick to speak, he is a straightforward and generous king. The Holy Master really did not misunderstand the person."

The two women were overjoyed, made an invitation gesture, and said, "Then, please King Yue."

"Cross the river."

King Yue raised the tip of his sword high, swung it forward, aimed directly at the opposite bank, and gave an order in a low and solemn voice.

Although Duanmu Wuze still had doubts in his heart, he could not disobey King Yue's intention at this moment, so he could only look suspiciously at the two women, but he was still on guard.

The two women didn't seem to see Duanmu's dull eyes, they just bowed their heads submissively, without any dissatisfaction.

Duanmu Yuhan took a completely different approach. When he passed by the two women, he thanked them, which made the two women feel warm in their hearts.

The river was surging, and the horseshoes splashed countless flowers.
