In the residence of Hongchen Mengxuan Pavilion, after two days of treatment, Yang Tao's injuries had healed a little. He was wearing loose clothes and thinking about things.

What Yang Tao thought about was about Hongchen Mengxuan Pavilion, because Yang Hanrong joined this guild, which forced Yang Tao to pay attention.

In his previous life, he had heard of this guild, but he had only heard of it, because this guild only appeared in the early and mid-stage of the game, and disappeared bizarrely in the later stages.

However, what surprised Yang Tao was that although the strength of Hongchen Mengxuan Pavilion in his previous life was good, it was only a second-rate guild. There was only a relatively large consortium behind him to support it. He was only within 100 in the player guild ranking. Why did he rank so high in this life? Since the rankings were opened, he has not fallen outside the tenth place.

Moreover, Yang Tao remembered that the Hongchen Mengxuan Pavilion in the previous life was not only ranked within 100, but it is also said that Lin Jing, the president of the guild, was forced to death by a rich second generation. After that, the consortium behind Hongchen Mengxuan Pavilion fell apart, and Hongchen Mengxuan Pavilion was also divided into countless small forces, facing each other.

Thinking of this, Yang Tao was considering whether to pull Yang Hanrong out of this vortex. After all, Yang Hanrong is just an ordinary girl, and it is not a good thing to participate in such a complicated matter. However, Yang Tao saw Lin Jing and Yang Hanrong very well these two days, and he was not sure that he could let her withdraw. At present, he could only take one step at a time.

At this time, Yang Hanrong walked in with light steps. Seeing Yang Tao in a daze, she couldn't help but approach and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

Hearing Yang Hanrong's words, Yang Tao shook his head and said, "It's nothing, by the way, the war will start tomorrow. Are you all ready?"

"Well, everything is ready, I guess tomorrow will go very smoothly." Yang Hanrong nodded obediently.

Yang Tao was a little worried about tomorrow's war. It was because the war involved too many people and had to worry. He explained to Yang Hanrong: "I'm still a little worried. Tomorrow will be a battle of two giants of tens of millions of people. This battle may be a dark place. You should prepare for it!"

"Brother, we know, we will be careful, brother, don't worry. By the way, are your men here?" Yang Hanrong hurriedly changed the topic when she saw Yang Tao always talking about the war tomorrow.

"It has arrived, and now it is gathering in a small town to the west."

"That's good, brother, are you going to join the war tomorrow?"

"Of course, this is a must."

"But brother, your injuries have not healed yet?"

"It's fine."

...

Just as Yang Tao and Yang Hanrong were discussing the matter in the headquarters of Hongchen Mengxuan Pavilion, more than 2 million troops led by Sima Ying and others in the west of Wei County had arrived at the bank of Zhangshui River and stopped. After Sima Ying and Ma Yuanyi, Yu Du and others discussed, they sent troops to five cities in the east to investigate the situation.

From west to east, there are not only two cities, Yecheng and Pingyang City, but also three cities, Wucheng, Jiuhou City and Wucheng. These five cities are closely connected, like a string of beads strung together by Zhangshui River. As long as one moves, it will move the whole body. If you want to take down the five cities, you must do it together. Now Sima Ying and others have to wait for the arrival of the other two groups of people while investigating the situation.

Soon Sima Ying and others received a very strange news. The Han soldiers from Wei County actually played a plan called "One Town, One City", which made everyone who heard this plan look at each other and confused. Only Sima Ying frowned and looked solemn when she heard this plan.

Seeing Sima Ying's solemn expression, Ma Yuanyi's only remaining hand stroked the short beard under his jaw and said, "We don't understand what this Han army is doing, and I hope Brother Haoran will give you advice."

Yu Du and others around him also looked over when they heard Ma Yuanyi's words. Sima Ying could only relax his eyebrows and said, "There are tens of millions of Han troops in Wei County, but they did not gather together. Instead, they scattered their troops in the towns around the five cities. Why? Have you ever thought about it."

"I really don't know about this, but will the Han army make it convenient for us to defeat them one by one? With our previous understanding of the prefect of Wei County, we should not have such a stupid move. Is there another mystery?" Yu Du asked in confusion when he heard Sima Ying's question.

"Is it a mystery? Of course, there is one. But do you think we can defeat each one?" Sima Ying did not agree with Yu Du's words and asked back.

"Isn't it?"

"No." Sima Ying replied with certainty. Seeing the questioning eyes of several people, Sima Ying continued to explain: "Indeed, scattering Han soldiers and horses among countless towns is indeed convenient for us to attack the Han army. After all, how high the earth walls of the town are, we can indeed fight all the way, but have you ever thought about how big our casualties will be?"

"casualties?"

"Yes, it's because of casualties. Our number of troops is limited, not infinite. Moreover, our total number of troops is equivalent to that of the Han army. When we gathered together, we faced a group of towns carefully arranged by players. The few Han soldiers in these towns were fewer than tens of thousands, and the more than hundreds of thousands. They just came from a few players. This made it easier for them to manage the town without too much disagreement. The defense of the town can be built into what they want. But in this way, we are facing a group of carefully prepared cities. Players are different from other people. They will not lead to the defeat or surrender of the entire army if the leader dies.

Surrender. Every time we capture a small town, we will lose several times the price of the opponent's troops. If we continue to attack like this, by the time we approach the five cities including Yecheng, the people in our hands will probably have been wiped out, but the opponent still has a large number of troops. By the time the opponent gathers together, we can easily destroy us. Therefore, the plan to disperse the troops in countless towns is not a foolish move, but a poisonous plan, which is to force us to attack one by one town and consume our troops. Based on my previous understanding of Zhang Ze, the governor of Wei County, he could not have thought of such a poisonous plan. I am afraid that there will be capable people in Wei County to give advice to Zhang Ze and others." Sima Ying explained to several people in frown.

After hearing Sima Ying's words, Ma Yuanyi and others were not as optimistic as before. They were all brows locked, thinking of ways. At this time, Yu Du's eyes flashed and he asked Sima Ying: "But even if these Han soldiers and horses are not dispersed, but gather together, aren't we still going to face the enemy's equivalent to us? What's the difference?"

Sima Ying looked at Yu Du with an idiot look at him. When Yu Du was uncomfortable, Sima Yingcai said, "The difference is big. In any big battle, we must get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. If the Han army gathers together, then the two equally powerful people will compete with their own strategies, patience and other things. As long as we arrange it properly, there will be no big losses. Even if we lose, we will not lose as long as we plan it properly. But if we attack one town, we will have no way out and there will be no retreat. If we fail, we will be able to achieve success. From the current situation, we will have the greatest possibility of our achievement."

"Since that's the case, then use strategies to clear the way. Isn't that enough?" Ma Yuanyi said so.

Hearing Ma Yuanyi's words, Sima Ying had already started rolling his eyes and said helplessly: "We are not facing one or two towns, but countless towns, and towns arranged by different players. If we want to plan along the way, we have to formulate different strategies based on the situation of each town. Not to mention how much time it takes to explore and deploy troops, even if we think of so many strategies, we will drive people crazy. In the current situation, we can only wait for the other two groups of people to arrive and discuss the attack. Before they arrive, what we have to do is to find out the details of such towns in Wei County, what is the location, what is the strength, and most importantly, investigate the person who came up with this poisonous plan."

"It seems that this is the only way now." After hearing Sima Ying's words, Ma Yuanyi and others had to draw such a conclusion.

After investigation, the situation in the vicinity of Wei County was obtained, but everyone was surprised. On the east of the five cities including Yecheng, there were 33 such towns, 71 towns to the south, 45 towns to the east, and 27 towns to the north, there were a total of 176 towns of different sizes. Players and horses were arranged to guard the garrison, scattered in the territory of Wei County like a huge chess game, waiting for the talented people to crack it.
