The fall of Loushan Pass has dealt a severe blow to Bozhou. In Hailong Tun, there was a feeling that all horses were silent. At the military counselor meeting that Yang Yinglong hastily called, everyone's face was full of gloom, and they hardly spoke a word.
Seeing the mood of his confidants, Yang Yinglong couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, and said to his military adviser Sun Shitai: "Yinglong regrets that he didn't follow Mr. Suggestion to enter the Tianfu, and he didn't follow Mr. Sister's idea of gathering troops all the way. Now that Loushan Pass has been broken, I'm at a critical moment in Bozhou, but I don't know what ideas do you have?"
Sun Shitai twirled his beard one by one, almost pulling out all the beard. The current situation is like this, even if Zhuge Kongming is reborn, what can be done? After pondering for a long time, Sun Shitai said slowly: "For the present plan, the students say that I'm afraid they will displease the king of heaven!"
Yang Yinglong hurriedly said: "Sir, just say it, the speaker is not guilty!"
Sun Shitai smiled wryly, and said, "According to the students, the king of heaven can only take the initiative to surrender now!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room was shocked, Chen Xiao, Zhao Wenyuan and others all looked at Sun Shitai in awe, as expected of a military adviser, the words are not astonishing, and they can't stop dying. Tian Feipeng, Yang Zhaolong and others were enraged, and Yang Zhaolong jumped up against the case and shouted sharply: "Monster words will confuse the people and disturb our army's morale!"
Yang Yinglong raised his hand violently, stopped his second brother from reprimanding him, and looked at Sun Shitai with piercing eyes: "Sir, you mean... a false surrender, Xu Tu's plan later?"
Sun Shitai glanced at Yang Yinglong and thought, "I thought he would be furious when he heard this, but I didn't expect him to be calm. I really thought he agreed with my suggestion. So I just thought I was trying to feign surrender."
Sun Shitai shook his head dejectedly, and said: "The king of heaven also underestimates the princes of the court, feigning surrender and resignation, it is useless to send envoys at this time, and the court will not give up easily when the battle has reached this level. If you beg for surrender at this time, the end of the Heavenly King would be as good as Tian's!"
Yang Yinglong's face darkened, but Sun Shitai still bit the bullet and continued: "Living in Guiyang, it is difficult to make a comeback!"
Yang Yinglong said in a deep voice: "A man should not be powerless for a day! If you want me to live in Guiyang, life would be worse than death!"
Sun Shitai persuaded: "At least the Yang family can be preserved. If you don't surrender at this time, you will have no chance when the imperial soldiers come to Hailongtun."
"Sir, don't say any more!"
Yang Yinglong flicked his sleeves in displeasure, and looked at Chen Ling in a blink of an eye: "What do you think, Da Mu?"
Chen Xiao quickly glanced at Sun Shitai, his thoughts were actually the same as Sun Shitai's. But this kind of suggestion, Sun Shitai can say, he can't say. Sun Shitai is Yang Yinglong's military adviser, Yang Yinglong may not accept his suggestion, but he will not easily kill him.
But Chen Xiao was different, he was the Great Amu, equivalent to Yang Yinglong's chief minister of the State Council. Moreover, he is still a chieftain with his own territory and people. If he openly supports Sun Shitai's proposition and Yang Yinglong firmly refuses to accept it, then he may feel strange about him.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, and said: "I thought, maybe we can hold on to the territory, win a few battles, and then propose peace to the imperial court. The imperial court is overwhelmed by the exhaustion of troops and expeditions. If that's the case, Bozhou can be preserved, and as far as the Heavenly King is concerned, the actual power will not be left behind."
Yang Yinglong stared at him, making Chen Xiao's heart shudder, and then slowly withdrew his gaze. From Chen Xiao's hesitation, he had already read Chen Xiao's mind. The confidant general also thought so, Yang Yinglong was really disheartened.
At this time, Zhao Wenyuan suddenly stood up and said impassionedly: "Heavenly King, everyone believed that Loushan Pass would not fall, but it fell! Everyone believed that once Loushan Pass fell, Bozhou would definitely be defeated. Will it really be defeated then?"
Yang Yinglong's eyes brightened, and he looked happily at Zhao Wenyuan. Zhao Wenyuan said: "The imperial court's eight-way army has not yet formed a siege. Liu Ting is stationed at Loushan Pass, and he has not yet moved to Bozhou. My subordinates think that this is our chance!"
Zhao Wenyuan strode up to the sand table, pointed on the sand table with a long stick, and said, "Heavenly King, everyone, please see that within the territory of Bozhou, there are ravines, mountains and rivers, and all kinds of trails in between. clear.
If the king of heaven is like a man who dares to die all the way, with the help of these unknown small and secret roads, he travels between various armies, or harasses, surprises, or ambushes, looking for opportunities for fighters, as long as he can destroy all his soldiers and horses, then Liu Dadao There will be gaps in the net of heaven and earth that has been laid, and I may not be able to turn defeat into victory in Bozhou! "
Yang Yinglong walked slowly to the front of the sand table, and everyone followed. Yang Yinglong carefully looked at the terrain and thought about Zhao Wenyuan's words. Although he was not very sure about Zhao Wenyuan's words intellectually, he needed affirmation and encouragement so much at this moment. For a long time, emotions still overwhelmed reason.
Yang Yinglong nodded slowly, and said, "What Wen Yuan said makes sense."
Zhao Wenyuan clasped his fists and said: "This subordinate is willing to lead a group of troops and serve as a surprise soldier, cruising among the imperial court's eighth army, looking for opportunities to fight!"
Yang Yinglong slowly raised his palm, pressed heavily on Zhao Wenyuan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Okay! If my Bozhou can turn around because of this, you will be my number one hero in Bozhou!"

Shuixi, An's old house.
An Jiangchen, the Patriarch of the An family, who never showed up much and didn't like to ask about foreign affairs, couldn't sit still anymore, and hurried to the back house to see the old man. Mr. An was fishing by the pool in the backyard. When he saw his son, who was over fifty years old, walking quickly, he only glanced at him, but did not speak.
An Jiangchen said: "Father, Loushan Pass was broken by Liu Dadao!"
Mr. An put away the rod, re-baited it, threw it into the pond again, and said calmly: "The first skill in breaking the level is that kid Ye Xiaotian."
An Jiangchen said in amazement: "Father already knows? Father, my son thinks that our An family can't sit idly by! Even though my An family stays out of the matter, there is no harm. But if we send troops, there will be great benefits!"
Mr. An smiled slightly, and said: "The overall situation has been settled, and the benefits of sending troops at this time are very limited. How can there be great benefits."
Mr. An sighed: "When you are old, you should be more conservative. This is a big bargain, so let Ye Xiaotian take it. However, my An family business is big enough, so I should seek stability, there is no need to fight Dangerous."
He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said: "The icing on the cake, although it's not as good as sending charcoal in a timely manner, it's better than doing nothing all the time, that's all, then... let's send troops!"
Minister An Jiang was overjoyed: "Yes! That son personally led the army to fight against the country!"
Mr. An scolded: "Hey! You are so old, but what's the use of winning this feat?"
An Jiangchen was stunned, and Mr. An said: "Tell Dalang to go!"
An Jiangchen was stunned, and said: "Yes! The son will immediately arrange for Nan Tian to lead the expedition!"
Seeing that Mr. An had no more instructions, An Jiangchen immediately turned around and left happily.
