265 Solving the Mystery (1/2)

Just as the meeting between the Shanhai Alliance was at a standstill, Mulan Yue suddenly stood out.

Usually, when the brothers and sisters were discussing, she would sit at the side and act as a quiet listener. This time she stood up, attracting everyone's attention.

She wasn't scared or anything and said, ”Cough, actually I feel that what Qushou said was right. The key lies in the player troops.”

”En?”

”Didn't we discuss this? They aren't enough to breakthrough,” Gong Chengshi said.

Ouyang Shuo waved him off and stopped the discussion. Then, he smiled as he looked at Mulan Yue, ”What new idea do you have? Tell us.”

”En.” Receiving Ouyang Shuo's encouragement, Mulan Yue was even more confident and said, ”I think that we have all been thinking that the player troops will be sent to the main camp with the main forces. What if they were sent to the camp at Gu Pass, how would the situation change?”

Ouyang Shuo was astonished. All the mysteries and doubts he had disappeared. He raised his head, looking straight at Qushou.

In a moment, everyone was shocked by Mulan Yue's view.

”This, this doesn't fit the battle settings, right?” Gong Chengshi said unconfidently.

Xunlong Dianxue shook his head and said solemnly, ”Gu Pass is also a key base, if Gaia arranged it like that, it doesn't go against the battle settings.”

Ouyang Shuo was pretty much certain that Mulan Yue's answer was right. He happily looked at her, giving her a silent commendation. He turned toward Qushou, ”So, what would happen if Yue Yue is right?”

Although the others knew that it would be bad if the enemy player troops were sent to Gu Pass, they didn't know how much of an effect it would have on the battle.

Only Qushou could solve this difficult problem.

Qushou focused, after contemplating and playing the situation in his mind, he spoke. ”If the enemy player troops were sent to Gu Pass, it would be totally beneficial to the Zhao. They have two choices. First, they can attack the Ying Bao troops at the north and regain the passageway to Handan. Second, they can work with the main force to attack Wang Ling, destroying him and regaining contact between them and the main force. After that, they could destroy Ying Bao's forces. No matter what, they would be able to destroy the cage set up by Baiqi.

Hearing Qushou's analysis, the tent was totally silent.

”Qushou, there's something I don't understand. It makes sense to attack Ying Bao's forces, but to pincer Wang Ling's forces, wouldn't it be the same as them just landing in the main camp?”

”Of course not,” Qushou said confidently, ”The building of the camp mainly defends the southwest against the main force, and they didn't care much about Gu Pass as Ying Bao's forces were dealing with them. In history, the Gu Pass was attacked by 30 thousand troops and was nearly broken through. If the 40 thousand player troops were added, before reinforcements arrive, Wang Ling's forces would be totally destroyed.”

Qushou's analysis was so detailed that no one could retort.

Ouyang Shuo looked around and said, ”Since things are like this, we must get ready for the worst case scenario. Ever if they force themselves through the trap, they will pay a heavy price and the battle will still favor us. Hence, we don't need to worry, preparing as we need to. ”He looked at Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang, ”You two will be in charge of liasoning with other lords.”

Both of them nodded.

”Ok, let's disperse; I need to make a trip to see the Wu An Lord.”

”This is only our conjecture. We have no proof, so do you think he will believe us?”

”No matter what, we need to give it a shot.” Ouyang Shuo wasn't confident but he needed to act like he was filled with confidence.

Qushou walked over. ”Lord, before you see him, I suggest you go look for the general, Meng Ao. He's our direct superior.”

Ouyang Shuo froze and said in embarrassment, ”You’re right, I forgot about it.”

General Meng Ao's manor was in Guanglang City. With Ouyang Shuo's representative status, he didn't face any problems and was able to meet the general.

Meng Ao's battle style was based on being safe. Hence, he was given the important responsibility of taking charge of the southern line to go against the deputy general of the Zhao army’s Zhao Zhuang.

In history, Meng Ao served a total of four dynasties, leading troops and getting victory after victory.
