"The first thing is to wait for the wood to wither!" Zhuang Yuan said slowly, and then thrust at the wine jar. Han Mo immediately got up and helped Zhuang Yuan drink a big gulp. Zhuang Yuan's dry and thin face had already had a bit of energy after two sips of wine.

"Mu Ku?" Han Mo wiped Zhuang Yuan's mouth with a careful look on his face, full of doubts: "Teacher, how do you explain this?"

Zhuang Yuan asked, "Have you ever seen the Longshan Mountains when you are visiting Qingguo?"

Han Mo nodded and said, "When I went to Qingguo, I went from the east road, but when I came back, I returned from the west road and saw Longshan."

"That's good." Zhuang Yuan smiled and said, "The Longshan Mountains are not stone mountains, but earth and stone mountains, so Longshan must be a continuous stream of trees..."

Han Mo nodded and said, "That's right. When he came back, the Baili Mountains were covered with dense forests... But what does this have to do with Sima Qingtian's attack?" He frowned, puzzled: "Why have to wait until Mu Ku..." Speaking of this, Han Mo's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he was thinking of something, then he looked surprised on his face and said softly: "Teacher, are you saying that Sima Qingtian is preparing to... burn the mountains?"

Zhuang Yuan's reminder made Han Mo suddenly realize.

The wood is withered.

Of course, we have to wait until the plants and trees dry up.

It is now late autumn, with all things withering, and the Longshan Mountains are continuous and forests. At this time, the leaves are falling and weeds are dry. At that time, it is the time when the weather is dry. At that time, the Longshan Mountains full of dead trees and weeds are really like a huge fire point. When the sparks go together, they will inevitably start a prairie fire.

"If I were Sima Qingtian, facing Shang Zhongli, who was good at defending, and Qing army occupying a high point, I would never easily attack Longshan." Zhuang Yuan was extremely calm, showing the style of the Grandmaster of Guigu: "Even if the strong attack is successful, the Wei army will inevitably suffer a heavy blow... Their purpose is to attack Shangjing City and not easily consume troops. If I was not wrong, the time for the Wei army to attack Qing was carefully considered. Sima Qingtian even thought that Shang Zhongli would set up defenses in Longshan before attacking Nanyang Pass, and he obviously considered that Nanyang Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he would never easily break... So when he launched an attack on Qing State, he considered giving the Wei army sufficient rest time, and even when the Wei army was finished, it was the time when the trees were withered in late autumn...!"

Han Mo frowned. When he heard Zhuang Yuan's analysis, he felt frightened and suddenly felt a sense of admiration for the famous Wei army general who had never been masked.

If Zhuang Yuan analyzed this way, Sima Qingtian would be a great general.

"Teacher said that before Sima Qingtian entered the pass, he had decided to burn Longshan Mountain?"

Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "For ordinary people, they may not have such bold ideas, but Sima Qingtian is the best general in the world who is good at attacking. He should not let this opportunity go. Now Shang Zhongli is setting up a formation in Longshan, with 200 miles of Longshan, with a lot of grass and trees. The Qing Kingdom army gathered on Longshan. If a fire burns, the losses of the Qing army can be predicted... The military newspaper you received, Sima Qingtian sent a small group of troops to charge, which is nothing more than concealing his intentions and confusing Shang Zhongli!"

Han Mo was shocked.

Regardless of whether Sima Qingtian really wanted to burn Longshan Mountain, Zhuang Yuan talked about this shocking strategy in his understatement, which made Han Mo truly admire the Master of Guigu.

This leader of Guigu, who is both brothers and sisters, is indeed a master of the devil and extremely wise.

Zhuang Yuan made a little effort, and Han Mo only felt that this possibility was almost established, otherwise why would the Wei army remain slow?

Han Mo was not stupid and even thought about how the Wei army would burn Longshan Mountain at that time.

The Wei State had a powerful dark organization, Black Flag, which was a group of real dark masters. During the war, Han Mo believed that there must be a large number of black flag officials led by Du Wufeng, the western wolf.

At that time, the Wei army pretended to attack the mountain in large numbers to attract the attention of the Qing army. The black flag of Wei sneaked into Longshan and set fires everywhere. The plants and trees in Longshan were dry, and they could just sit there. If you choose a windy day and the wind adds to the fire, then Longshan will inevitably have a lot of fire.

A small group of black flag officials sneaked into Longshan. It was not difficult for the dark officials who were proficient in lurking skills.

"The teacher said that Sima Qingtian was waiting for two things. Apart from waiting for Mu Ku, what are you waiting for?" Han Mo pondered for a moment before asking softly.

"Alliance!" Zhuang Yuan said calmly.

Han Mo narrowed his eyes and said strangely: "Teacher, who is the Wei army alliance you mentioned? Wei and Feng Kingdom are mortal enemies, and the Feng Kingdom never leaves the mountains and forests, so they will not form an alliance."

Zhuang Yuan nodded and smiled, "Yes, Busugan is the king of the mountains and forests, a tiger in the forest. When you leave the forest, this tiger will not have much ability. The people of Feng Kingdom will naturally not be an alliance of Wei!"

Han Mo was even more confused and whispered: "It is even more impossible for our Yan State. Da Yan and Qing State have just formed a kinship alliance. If the emperor wants to form an alliance with the people of Wei, it will never be possible for him to marry!"

Zhuang Yuan said calmly: "The wind and clouds are changing, the world is fighting for power, and the Wei Qing battle, your Yan State will never be just a bystander. As for the marriage, perhaps at that moment, your emperor was indeed thinking of forming an alliance with the Qing State and not getting involved in the war, which would affect the political situation within Yan. But the war situation is changing rapidly, who can guarantee that as the situation changes, your emperor will not change its original intention... The actions of the country have always been based on interests."

"But... the princess is still in Qingguo. Will the emperor take the initiative to break the agreement?" Han Mo frowned and said, "If that were the case, wouldn't the princess be in danger?"

"Those who accomplish great things will not hesitate or give a tip!" Zhuang Yuan said solemnly: "If your emperor hesitates and shrinks because of a daughter, he can only be a mediocre lord and cannot accomplish great things. But... your Yan State is still sitting on the development of the situation. At present, the situation is not clear during the initial battle of Wei Qing. No matter how stupid your emperor and the ministers in the court are, they will not take any action at this time..."

Han Mo was a little embarrassed.

When Zhuang Yuan talks about the emperor and ministers, he is like a group of children. These children naturally include those important officials of the Han family, even his own father.

However, in the eyes of this master of Guigu, the situation in the world is in his heart, and he watched the disputes in the world with cold eyes. The chess pieces that frequently fight and kill conspiracies on the chessboard are indeed a bit of a joke in his eyes.

"Teacher, this means that the alliance of Wei is not my Yan State." Han Mo frowned, and was even more confused. "The four Middle-earth countries, Wei State is just like the Qing State, and the allies are neither Feng State nor my Yan State, so... who is that?"

Zhuang Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, let me drink a sip of wine and talk slowly if you have something to say!"

Han Mo smiled helplessly, served Zhuang Yuan and drank another glass of wine before he said leisurely: "Have you read "History of Qi"?"

"History of Qi" is a historical book about the history of Qi in the previous dynasty. Han Mo naturally read it and nodded: "Students have read it!"

"Then of course you know that the talented and wise Emperor of Qi has done a stunning achievement!"

"Beijing Barbarian!" Han Mo blurted out.

Zhuang Yuan nodded and smiled, "Yes, maybe the people in the Central Plains have forgotten that in the desert in the north, there are still people wandering around the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians were the most powerful nation in the northern Central Plains. Before Emperor Yong defeated the Northern Barbarians, the people in the Central Plains felt fear when they heard the name of the barbarians... Although the Northern Barbarians were barbaric and vulgar, they were not literate in education, but they were undeniable that they were born warriors, brave and good at fighting. When the Qi army fought one-on-one, they were not the opponents of the Northern Barbarians at all."

Han Mo frowned, "Teacher, are you saying... In order to attack Qing State, Wei State will collude with the Northern Barbarians and lead the wolf into the house?"

Zhuang Yuan sighed lightly: "War is to do everything. In order to defeat the enemy, any means can be used. The enemy's enemy is an allies. The Northern Barbarians were beaten to death by Emperor Yong and were almost extinct. The remaining troops retreated to the depths of the desert and did not even dare to approach the border of the Central Plains. The large area of ​​land outside the border was deserted, and they had a deep hatred for the people of Qi. At that time, the capital of Qi was in Shangjing City, and the Central Land was divided into four.

However, the country of Qing State is still in Shangjing City. The Northern Barbarians are more brave and lack wisdom. They believe in the truth. The Qing State builds a capital in Shangjing City. In the eyes of the Northern Barbarians, Qing State replaces Qi State to become their most hated enemy... These barbarians have always lived in the desert, but were beaten to the extreme north of the desert by Emperor Yong, far away from their hometowns. The hatred in their hearts can also be known. Although in the past hundred years, the Northern Barbarians have never forgotten to kill them and get rid of their shame in the past!"

"Collaborate!" Han Mo said in a hatred.

Han Mo has always believed that the disputes between the four countries are like four brothers fighting for family property. It is a matter within the brothers. Everyone knocks behind closed doors, and goes from division to unification, which is also an inevitable historical trend.

Such internal struggles are not based on right and wrong.

When thinking about unifying the Central Plains, as long as those who have this ideal and strive for it are heroes, there is no right or wrong.

But colluding with foreigners is another matter.

Zhuang Yuan saw Han Mo's face slightly annoyed look, smiled and shook his head, and said warmly: "Child, you are still too young. You still don't understand the so-called "wind" and "witness" are still ambitious. In order to achieve your goal, you will not be a big deal for him. Wei State fought against Qing State and returned in a defeat. For more than ten years, he has been sleeping on firewood and tasted gall. This time, he will never only know how to swing the swords of the sovereign army like last time." He squinted his eyes and his voice was calm: "Sima Qingtian is a smart man. He is the leader of the Wei State.

General, in the past ten years, has never been asked to fight again... With his qualifications, if he advised him to fight, the Emperor of Wei, who was very competitive, would have agreed long ago. However, Sima Qingtian has been patient until now, which shows that his preparations for this battle are extremely sufficient. In the past ten years, Wei State has accumulated troops, accumulated food and grass, mined and iron, and the country's financial resources have been mostly used to expand the army and prepare for war... With such care, Sima Qingtian will definitely contact all the forces that will help the battle. With his thoughts, it is impossible not to think of the Northern Barbarians who regard the great enemy of the Qing State...!"

"Students have also heard that on the northern border of Mobei, the northern barbarians often appear in the past two years and are ready to move...!" Han Mo frowned: "Is it really a deal with the Wei people?"

Zhuang Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Although it's just a guess, it's very likely."

"If the Northern Barbarians attack from the north, the Northeast Corps led by King Yanping of Qing will inevitably be restrained on the northern line." Han Mo said: "The Northeast Corps of Qing Kingdom now has 50,000 troops... but they have to protect the four northeast counties of Qing Kingdom. Moreover, Gaoyang County among them has descendants of the Northern Barbarians. If the Northern Barbarians really attack from the north, the Northern Barbarians of Gaoyang County will definitely take the opportunity to respond... Wang Yanping's 50,000 military force, but I don't know if it can stop the Northern Barbarians."

"If the Northern Barbarians really join forces with the Wei Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom will be attacked from the front and back." Zhuang Yuan whispered: "At that time, the Qing army on the front line of Longshan would definitely suffer a great blow in morale... The morale of military strategists cannot be ignored... In ancient times, Cao Gui debated the battle, and once it declined, he would be exhausted. If the morale of the Qing army was hit, although the famous general Shang Zhongli was in charge, it would be a lot of danger in the face of the powerful Wei army!"

Han Mo nodded slightly.

Originally, Han Mo was still very vague about the situation of the Wei Qing dispute, but today Zhuang Yuan said something, and he suddenly realized that the Wei army was well prepared for this battle, and the Qing army led by Shang Zhongli was afraid that he would face an extremely difficult situation.
