My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 728 - 227: Divine Weapon Descends_2

"What?"

King Jin walked to the sand table: "General Chen arranged it this way, is it possible that he cannot succeed in crossing the pass?"

"To break through the Spring and Autumn Manor, it would take at least two years at minimum!"

Ming Qingfeng informed: "During this time, there’s also a great chance of being ambushed by the Qing army, risking total annihilation, and what we lack the most now is time."

Time.

Is on the side of the Capital Chang’an.

King Jin and others hold a fake abdication edict, claiming rightful succession, ordered by Heaven, which is why more and more people come to join, but all this is under the condition that Emperor Longqing does not appear, handing over state affairs to Prince Qin and the Yan Party.

If Emperor Longqing leaves the pass, the rumors they spread will naturally collapse and they might even face the emperor leading a personal campaign. After Foundation Establishment, and with the assistance of treasures, there’s no one in the Eastern Continent who can escape from his grasp.

"General Fang!

Ming Qingfeng, seeing the Green Robed Scholar approach, hurriedly went up to ask: "You know General Chen the best, quickly help us figure out what he’s intending with this move? Can we be of any help?"

That was then and this is now.

There are no eternal enemies.

In the current situation, Beiliang is their only ally to rely on. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"..."

Fang Qingyun gazed at the sand table, after a long while, gave an answer: "He is staking everything."

"So, General Fang also isn’t very confident?"

King Jin was exceedingly melancholic.

"Deploy forty thousand troops, gathered at our Yulu State border."

Fang Qingyun simply said: "If anything unexpected happens in Beiliang, try to head north to support them."

Ming Qingfeng and the others immediately did as instructed.

King Jin grew more anxious, and after arranging military matters, he went behind the screen to find King Yan, Cao Zhi, who was enjoying hotpot: "Twelfth brother, how can you still have the mood to eat and drink? Last time you mentioned inviting a High Realm Immortal Master, has he been invited?"

"Still waiting for news."

Cao Zhi said while eating: "Inviting someone is not a problem, the issue is how to let High Realm cultivators enter the Eastern Continent with sealing repression, just wait patiently, it might not be in time."

"So, still we have to rely on General Chen."

King Jin was filled with worry.

If Beiliang falls, they would also be trapped in a difficult situation.

...

Spring and Autumn Manor.

Since the last brief skirmish with the Beiliang Army, forty days have passed.

In the meantime.

The Beiliang Army only stationed their troops at Qilin Mountain without further invasion.

For a massive army of tens of thousands to transport men, equipment, and provisions through the narrow plank roads certainly takes a long time, but normally seventy days should suffice, yet still, the siege has not commenced.

Prince Zhen Nan, Cao Rong, stood with his hands behind his back, hearing approaching footsteps, asked without turning: "What is the situation?"

"Reporting to Your Highness," the scout clasped his fists, "the Beiliang Army is still stationed as before, and continuous transportation of men and provisions continues on the plank road."

"Still not finished?"

Prince Zhen Nan, Cao Rong, couldn’t help but frown.

"How about..."

Ling Yun, who had been idly spending day and night here, was somewhat anxious: "Give me a troop to go probe them?"

"Absolutely not!"

Daoxuan Wanderer advised: "This person is extremely cunning, it’s very likely a deliberate immobility, using an army of more than ten thousand to set up an ambush, just waiting for us to leave the city to court death. Since they want to wait, there’s no harm in doing the same.

"First, time is on our side.

"Second, I also have more time to craft Array Flags."

"..."

Prince Zhen Nan, Cao Rong, remained silent.

Of course, he knew time was on his side.

But the more it was like this, the more peculiar it seemed; Chen Sansi wouldn’t be foolish enough to wait here for death, what exactly was his plan?

"Come."

Cao Rong ordered: "Gather intelligence again, including the Yan, Liang, You states, and the movements of Yunzhou and Qing Country’s armies, I want to know what everyone is doing."

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

Qilin Mountain remained silent as ever.

Until a loud shout broke the silence.

"Your Highness!"

"Yunzhou! The Beiliang Army is in Yunzhou!"

"Thirty days ago, the more than ten thousand Beiliang Army already engaged in battle with Dongqing in Yunzhou!"

"..."

"Nonsense!"

Li He rebuked: "Isn’t the Beiliang Army right in front of us, how could they suddenly be in Yunzhou?"

"Indeed."

Ling Yun was also taken aback: "We just fought Chen Sansi not long ago."

"Li He!"

Cao Rong had to instruct: "Lead a few cultivators to fly close to the enemy’s camp, and while ensuring your survival, you must ascertain the truth and false!"

"Should have done this sooner!"

Li He immediately left with two cultivators.

Only half an hour later.

He returned with a furious expression: "Not good, it’s empty, the Beiliang Army’s camp is empty, not a soul! Not only is the camp empty, but they also destroyed the plank road on Qilin Mountain themselves.

"They...

"Truly launched a full-scale assault to attack Yunzhou!"

Hearing this.

Everyone’s pupils trembled violently.

If.

The front is empty.

Then what have they been preparing for here?!

But Chen Sansi truly appeared.

The scouts could also see constant transportation of provisions on the plank road!

"It’s a deceptive strategy."

Cao Rong realized: "He never intended to storm the Spring and Autumn Manor, everything before was to confuse us, the real target is Yunzhou."

He had found it strange all along, and indeed there was something amiss!

"You mortals, always scheming against one another."

Li He had been cultivating for over seventy years and never seen such intricacies.

"Still not right."

Daoxuan Wanderer pulled out the map.

He was naturally an Array Master, quite gifted in military formations and strategies, and having read military books before, he could fully comprehend the big picture.
