After Fang Yun sat down, he closed his eyes and rested without saying a word.
The other generals were even more furious when they saw Fang Yun's behavior. He was not here to discuss matters, but just to put on airs.
Marquis Lumen seemed to be unaware of Fang Yun's presence. His face darkened and he said, "Let the meeting begin!"
The power of the second-level literary hero spread from Lu Menhou's body in all directions, and finally enveloped the big tent.
Lu Menhou's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Fang Yun out of the corner of his eye, because he felt that the literary power of "Zhang Longxiang" was even greater than that of all the Hanlin scholars present, and he could not even perceive the specific level.
"Where is the general of the vanguard camp?" Marquis Lu Men glanced down with a majestic look.
"I am here!" A general who had passed the imperial examination stood up and bowed.
"None of the scouts you sent out discovered the barbarian attack in advance, which resulted in damage to the army. Come, take them out and give them twenty lashes of the cane!" said Lu Menhou.
A Hanlin general stood up hurriedly, bowed to Lumen Hou, and said, "Marshal, if it was an ordinary barbarian attack, the vanguard battalion's poor reconnaissance would not only be severely punished, but also at least 40 strokes of the cane. However... this time it was the barbarian king who personally led the army to attack, and the strongest of those scouts were only students. The power disparity was huge, and it was not the vanguard battalion's fault. In my opinion, these 20 strokes of the cane will be temporarily recorded. If the vanguard battalion makes a mistake again, it will not be too late to punish it again."
"Now is the time to use people. Please, Marshal, show some mercy."
Several generals tried to persuade him.
“Tsk…” Fang Yun sneered deliberately. Marquis Lu Men said punishment, but his hand did not touch the token. Other generals also noticed this, so they tried to dissuade him. If Marquis Lu Men had already thrown the token down, they would not dare to say a word.
Many generals were furious, and some of the hot-tempered ones even had red faces.
Wei Changxian was so angry that his face turned purple. He believed that all this was Fang Yun's revenge on him to embarrass him and Lu Menhou.
Lu Menhou pretended not to hear it and said, "If that's the case, then let's remember it for now. There are a few shortcomings in this battle..."
The meeting continued. Lumen Hou first summarized the battle, pointed out the shortcomings of the army, and gave practical and feasible strategies for correction, and then began to discuss countermeasures.
Most generals believed that this was a harassment by the barbarians. They were likely to appear again in the next few days, but a few generals believed that this was not harassment, but a test. The barbarians were likely to find an opportunity to launch a larger-scale sneak attack.
The two sides argued endlessly, and Lu Menhou never expressed his opinion. Fang Yun kept his eyes closed to rest.
After a long while, Lumen Hou suddenly asked, "Longxiang, what do you think of the barbarians' night attack?"
Fang Yun was unhappy. The name "Dragon Elephant" seemed to be a way to get closer to the human race, but in reality it was just taking advantage of his seniority. So he said, "I think that although the barbarians are not as smart as humans, if they take action, they will not just harass us. In the next few days, once they find an opportunity, they will definitely send more troops to launch a surprise attack. I have already told General Wei Changxian this, and asked him to tell you, but it seems you don't remember it."
Wei Changxian's face flushed immediately. He didn't even tell Lu Menhou what Fang Yun said.
Lu Menhou said: "Chang Xian has naturally conveyed it, I just want to hear a more detailed opinion."
The generals present immediately understood the reason and felt that Marquis Lu Men was a good marshal who protected his subordinates. At the same time, they hated Fang Yun even more.
"I told Wei Changxian in advance that the barbarians might launch a surprise attack tonight, but five thousand soldiers were still killed or injured. It seems that these five thousand soldiers are bait." Fang Yun said with a smile, then stood up and walked out.
There was silence in the big tent.
Fang Yun said as he walked, "Although the barbarians cannot communicate with the outside world, they must have ways to capture soldiers from all over the place and torture them to understand the human race's battle situation. In the past few hundred years, there have been less than ten cases where the barbarian elite soldiers have penetrated into the human race's territory to attack the reinforcements. This time, there was no sign, and I think it's not just a simple harassment. Their target must be one of the three armies of Lumen, Zhujiang or Qishan, and they may even be cooperating with the battle of Liangjie Mountain. I'm sure that Marquis Lumen can see this, but it's extremely difficult to prevent. In addition, with one more Hanlin, the Lumen army can save hundreds of soldiers. I hope that the marquis will let me participate in the battle next time, and don't ignore the lives of the soldiers!"
"How shameless!" Wei Changxian scolded.
The other generals spoke out in opposition.
The generals on both sides were furious, but Fang Yun walked away as if he was admiring flowers and the scenery.
Lu Menhou's expression remained unchanged and he did not say a word until Fang Yun left.
After leaving the big tent, Fang Yun felt much better. However, he was still guessing the identity of the mysterious university scholar behind the screen in the big tent. He seemed to be from the Shengyuan Continent.
On the second day, the army continued on the journey, but the pace was much slower. Everyone was in a state of preparation for battle, and the arrival in Zhucheng would be delayed by one day.
There was no incident during the day and the night was calm, but at four o'clock in the morning, the thundering words of Marquis Lu Men were suddenly heard from the central army tent.
"The barbarians have sneaked into the camp, all armies prepare for battle!"
At Lu Menhou's command, the soldiers who were sleeping in their clothes picked up their weapons and ran out quickly.
Fang Yun flew into the air on Pingbu Qingyun and saw that the Jingnan army was in chaos, but the Lumen army was orderly. Before the barbarians started to attack, they had already set up a defensive formation and all the mechanisms were ready.
Fang Yun looked into the distance and saw that the number of barbarian lords, generals and commanders participating in the war had doubled, but there was still only one barbarian king.
Fang Yun suddenly smiled. He didn't look at the bear barbarian king from yesterday. Instead, he kept observing those barbarian lords. Finally, his eyes fell on a wolf barbarian lord.
Without waiting for the battle to begin, Fang Yun said with a swift voice: "I heard that there are five barbarian kings in Lianshan Pass. Yesterday, I only saw the Bear King. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to see the Wolf King today."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, there was chaos in the army, with exclamations of surprise. Many generals followed Fang Yun's gaze and looked at the Wolf Barbarian Marquis. Although Lu Men Marquis remained calm, he turned his head away at an extremely fast speed.
“Hahaha… Yesterday, that bastard Xiong Bei said that the human race has a genius, otherwise they could have killed twice as many soldiers. Today I saw it with my own eyes, and it is indeed true. It is not difficult to see through our plan, but the difficult part is to see through it and find my true body in just a few breaths. It is really not easy!”
As the wolf demon spoke, its body expanded rapidly, growing from more than eight feet tall to twenty and a half feet tall, and it transformed into a dark-skinned barbarian with a wolf head and a human body. It stood in front, towering like a two-story building. It smiled slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth, and its sharp claws reflected a striking light in the morning light.
The thirty-foot-tall Barbarian King Xiong Bei laughed loudly and said, "Now you believe it, right? The human race actually has such a genius. Yesterday I wanted to sneak attack and kill him, but he didn't participate in the battle. It seems that he is an important figure in the human race. We in the Barbarian Tribe don't have any information about him. I will question that old guy Hu Ying when I go back."
Wei Changxian suddenly laughed with a sneer, "I never thought that you barbarians would learn the human military tactics. No matter how much you flatter us, you can't get rid of the suspicion that Zhang Longxiang is a traitor!"
When Fang Yun saw Wei Changxian approaching, his face darkened. He didn't expect that Lu Menhou would actually let Wei Changxian monitor him today.
The two barbarian kings looked at each other, and the barbarian king Langdan suddenly laughed uncontrollably, and then said: "He is the Zhang Longxiang? I see, I see! Very good, brother Zhang... uh, this is how you humans call each other, right? Don't panic, brother Zhang, we will rescue you from the human race and join the barbarian tribe!"
The faces of many generals changed drastically, and many of them looked at Fang Yun with murderous intent.
