Hearing Huang Yu's words, Ye Li was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and shook his head, saying: "No, you misunderstood, I don't mean to ask you to send troops to Dongfang County.
What I mean is, I will bring two thousand people to you and help you attack the Peacock Clan."
Ye Li’s words stunned everyone present.
Liu Boshan said: "You send troops to help us attack the Peacock Clan, but what about your own ore?"
Ye Li waved his hand in a very casual manner and said, "As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. I can sacrifice those minerals as long as I can use them as bait to attract a large number of Peacock Clan members.
I would like to ask, do you know the approximate number of troops that the Peacock Clan can mobilize now?"
Liu Boshan said: "As far as we know, the Peacock Clan can mobilize at most 8,000 troops now, no more. After all, we have been entangled for so long, they still have a lot of losses, and now their military strength has also decreased."
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right, if we send out 2,000 people, plus your 4,000 people, the total number will be 6,000.
If the Peacocks didn't know that we had started to cooperate, they wouldn't be wary of our joint battle plan.
I will deliberately let my people spread the false news that I am going to send a large army to escort a large amount of ore, and exaggerate the value of the ore, using it as bait to lure the Peacock Clan to attack us.
They don't know that my people are here, so they will definitely send a large number of people to attack our escort team. In this way, the remaining strength in their tribe should be very weak.
This is our chance. If we attack the Peacock Clan with more than 6,000 people, do you think we can destroy their nest?"
When the three family heads heard Ye Li's plan, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.
“This plan sounds like a good idea!”
Zhao Junsheng said.
Liu Boshan pondered for a while, nodded, and said: "I also think it is feasible. We don't need to attack the peacock tribe's nest directly. We only need to send out 2,000 people as bait and pretend to attack the peacock tribe's mining area. They will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress them.
When the time comes, we will use two thousand people to pretend to escape, lure out the Peacock Clan’s army, and then join forces to surround and devour them in one fell swoop.
In this way, our overall military strength will be firmly on top of the Peacock Clan. At that time, we may be able to counterattack once and eradicate the Peacock Clan, this major threat, in one fell swoop!!!"
Hearing his words, Huang Yu also showed excitement on his face and nodded: "I agree with this plan, but we must be fully prepared in advance and make sure the Peacock Clan is fooled."
Ye Li said: "Well, I think as long as they don't know about our cooperation, they will definitely be fooled, especially against Dongfang County, their defense is very weak.
After their last success, they basically suffered no losses, so they will definitely be careless the next time they come to steal the ore.
I will discuss this with my subordinates after I return. If we can get the details right, we can hold back the Peacock Clan's army.
The Peacock Clan's territory is at least a day's journey away from our Dongfang County. As long as they can't come back, we can do whatever we want and flatten the entire Peacock Clan's nest, and then attack the team they sent out."
Hearing Ye Li's words, the three family heads all showed joy on their faces. Although their combined strength was not as strong as that of the Peacock Clan, if they could work together in secret to plot against the enemy, they would be able to tear the enemy's forces apart and defeat them separately.
Afterwards, after some detailed discussions, the two sides reached a consensus on many details and finally worked out a detailed plan.
After making a detailed plan, Ye Li took Qian San and quickly rushed back to Dongfang County.
After returning, they will have to make final discussions with several leading troops, determine the specific battle plan, and begin preparing to spread false information to the traitor.
Three days later, Ye Li brought Qian San back to Dongfang County and began the specific preparations.
… … … … …
Wang Yue's mood has been getting better and better recently. The undercover agent he sent to the Ye Li mining area brought back news that Ye Li was stockpiling a large amount of ore and was preparing to send it to the neighboring counties for sale.
The last time he told the Peacock Clan the news of finding a rich mine in Dongfang County, the Peacock Clan looted Ye Li's mining area and the team transporting the ore, and stole a lot of ore.
Seeing Ye Li suffer a huge loss was the most satisfying thing for him.
Now I heard that Ye Li is going to sell ore again, and the quantity is even larger than last time. There is also news that the proportion of peacock corundum in the ore Ye Li transports this time is very high.
The value of this ore is much greater than that of mixed iron lapis lazuli. If Ye Li could plunder them all, his loss would be enormous.
Wang Yue is very willing to do anything that would cause Ye Li to suffer huge losses, and the bigger the loss, the better.
He had asked several undercover agents to carefully confirm Ye Li's method and route of action this time, and informed the Peacock Clan of the news by means of carrier pigeons.
As long as the Peacock Clan confirms it, he can just wait and watch Ye Li's side being robbed clean.
… … … … …
Almost another ten days had passed, and Ye Li's preparations had been completed. They and Juxin City basically communicated with each other through carrier pigeons.
This kind of carrier pigeon naturally does not use ordinary pigeons, but a kind of half-demon beast hawk pigeon that is easy to tame.
The journey takes more than three days, but this half-demon beast with extremely fast flying speed can arrive in less than a day, so the information exchange between the two sides is very timely.
After Ye Li had made all the preparations, he had someone secretly and "accidentally" spread the detailed information to the spies.
The spies reported to Wang Yue that Ye Li would transport a large amount of valuable ore to the neighboring county in two days.
At this time, the Peacock Clan still failed to capture Juxin City because of Juxin City's desperate resistance. They chose to retreat after several attacks as they did not want to suffer too much loss, giving Juxin City a chance to survive.
The Peacock Clan, who had tasted the sweetness once, became eager after receiving the accurate information from Wang Yue. Clan leader Du Qing said: "Lingxi, the fat sheep lord of Dongfang County will prepare to transport ore again in two days.
Our allies said that the amount of ore that guy transported this time was even larger than last time, and there was a large amount of more valuable peacock corundum.
He sent a team of 2,000 people to escort the cargo this time. In order to transport the cargo to the next county for sale, we should send some people to plunder it. What do you think?"
