Mo Chuan nodded and said: "You are right. The roads here are indeed all mountainous. The terrain is steep and difficult to walk. It is indeed not easy to march. But what you don't know is that South Vietnam is rich in a kind of horse. This kind of horse is short and not easy to walk. He is good at running, but he is also very strong when it comes to carrying heavy loads, and is no problem walking on mountain roads, so I can definitely conclude that if South Vietnam marches, they will definitely take this mountain road!”
"So that's it!"
Shen Ning studied the map for a while, but unfortunately what she could understand was limited, and she couldn't help but frown.
"Mo Chuan, since you have already predicted that they will march this way, you can arrange an ambush on their only path in advance and catch them off guard." She suggested.
Mo Chuan stared at the map and was silent.
After a while, he shook his head: "I am not familiar with the terrain here. As far as I know, this is not the only mountain road here. I have sent local residents who are familiar with the mountain road to ask questions today. , these are not important, what I am most worried about is... Chu, Shao, Yang." He said every word.
"Chu Shaoyang?" Shen Ning raised her eyes and looked at him: "Is he so powerful? He obviously can't beat you."
Mo Chuan said with a serious face: "Don't underestimate Chu Shaoyang. In terms of martial arts, he is indeed no match for me, but when it comes to marching, fighting, and arranging troops, I am far behind him. In the past ten years, I , not a day goes by without him studying military books and arranging troops and practicing formations. Although he has no actual combat experience, his intelligence and the military books he has read cannot be underestimated. If a war really breaks out, we will Except for your father, no one in Chu State can match him. "
Shen Ning's face changed color slightly, and her brows furrowed even more tightly: "You said that Chu Shaoyang is so powerful, why not ask my father to go meet him for a while and see who is more powerful."
"That's not right. Your father is currently guarding the border town between Western Chu and Dong Qin. Fortunately, he is here. Dong Qin, which has been eyeing us for so many years, has not violated the border. If I transfer him to guard here, deal with Chu Shaoyang, I'm afraid that Dong Qin will take advantage of the situation and invade, and Western Chu will be attacked from both sides and completely defeated."
Mo Chuan shook his head. He had thought of the method Shen Ning said before, but it didn't work.
"Then... the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty don't have the talents to lead troops in war? After all these years, there can't be only one Shen Fang and one Chu Shaoyang, right?" Shen Ning looked at Mo Chuan in confusion.
"Of course there are talented people who lead troops to fight, but if the person leading troops in South Vietnam is really Chu Shaoyang, I dare not use any of these people." Mo Chuan thought deeply.
"Why?"
"If you think about Chu Shaoyang's identity, you will understand." Mo Chuan said with profound meaning.
"Chu Shaoyang's identity?" Shen Ning thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand, you are saying that Chu Shaoyang is the son of the late emperor, and the throne of the emperor should have belonged to him. This is so satisfying. The civil and military ministers of the dynasty are also ministers of the late emperor, are you worried that they will have different intentions? "
"It is essential to be on guard against others. These ministers have been loyal to me on the surface in the past ten years, but they know people and faces but not their hearts. Who knows whether they will be seduced by Chu Shaoyang? What if the general I sent out Wouldn't it be tempting to betray someone in front of the enemy?"
