In the Dongyue camp, when Su Yuntian heard that Liangmen Pass was broken by Nanshu, he angrily swept all the weapon racks on both sides of the tent to the ground. The sound of metal colliding on the ground was clanging, and scared all the soldiers so much that they dared not even breathe.

He was wearing a narrow-sleeved golden dragon robe, and he looked very fierce.

"My great general and 20,000 most elite soldiers of Dongyue were fooled by a woman. The war hasn't even started yet, but my great general of Dongyue has died and Liangmen Pass has been lost."

Su Yuntian roared at the generals present: "Tell me! Are the people of Dongyue inferior to the people of Nanshu? Do we still need to fight this battle?"

How could you know that I have endured humiliation and hardship in the court for years, what did I seek? Just so that one day, everyone in the world would know how incompetent Su Yi, that playboy, is! I want Dongyue to dominate the world under the rule of Su Yuntian!

In fact, the Dong Yue generals present knew clearly that launching a war against Southern Shu at this time was an extremely foolish act.

Although Nanshu had not experienced war for decades, it did not mean that the soldiers of Nanshu were all good-for-nothings. Moreover, Nanshu had strong military strength, and both supplies and manpower were far beyond the reach of Dongyue.

Although this time it was called the joint forces of Dongyue and Beiqi to attack Southern Shu, Beiqi only sent 50,000 Beiqi soldiers to serve Dongyue, and did not care about the rest of the money and food. These 50,000 Beiqi soldiers still had to rely on Dongyue for support.

Originally, Dongyue had Liangcheng's grain as a backup. Now that Liangcheng has fallen, the court and people of Dongyue are already impoverished. How can they have surplus grain to supply military supplies? Without food and grass, how can they fight this war? It is hard to predict what the outcome will be.

The generals in the tent were all well aware of this, so how could Su Yuntian not know it? It was just that he was unwilling to admit that he was inferior to Su Yi.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Su Yuntian roared at the generals in the tent like an angry lion, "I keep you all, a bunch of good-for-nothings, but you are of no use at the critical moment!"

For a moment, there was complete silence in the tent. All the generals lowered their heads and exchanged glances with each other, suggesting that the other party should step forward and persuade Su Yuntian.

After a short silence, a deputy general stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I think it is not a good idea to march into Southern Shu at this time. Moreover, Liangcheng has been captured. Without the food and grass supplied by Liangcheng, unless our army can capture Southern Shu within half a month, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Is it unthinkable?" Su Yuntian looked at the trembling deputy general with a cold brow and asked, "Do you mean that I will starve to death on the way to attack Nanshu before I even fight Dongyue?"

“How dare I!” The deputy general looked at Su Yuntian’s gloomy face and instantly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy with his head pounding garlic, “Your Majesty, please spare my life! What I mean is that we should conserve our energy for the time being, and after the military supply problem is solved, we can catch Southern Shu by surprise!”

"Do you think that Nanshu will generously give me time to solve the problem of military supplies, and then willingly hand Nanshu over to me?" Su Yuntian looked around at the generals kneeling on the ground and asked, "Do you have the same idea?" The generals knelt on the ground, saying they dared not retreat, and were silent.

"Very good!" Su Yuntian nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with this answer, "It seems that this is just the personal opinion of such an incompetent person!"

"Someone come!" Su Yuntian shouted, "Drag these useless people out and skin them alive! Tell the soldiers in the army that if anyone dares to be afraid of death and speaks words that disturb the morale of the army, his fate will be the same as his!"

When the deputy general heard this, he was struck by lightning. He collapsed to the ground on the spot, unable to even kneel steadily, and shouted while trembling.

"Your Majesty! I know I was wrong, and I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!" Before he could finish his words, he was dragged out of the tent by two soldiers.

Outside the tent, the deputy general's screams gradually faded away, the sound was extremely miserable, until it disappeared, the fear in the hearts of the generals in Su Yuntian's tent still lingered.

Su Yuntian looked at the sand table for a long time! At this time, it was faster to walk to Liangcheng, and he could reach there in one day. He knew that the problem of food shortage was always a major hidden danger. The words of the deputy general just now also reminded him that if he could capture Nanshu within half a month, then food and silver would not be a problem.

Su Yuntian suddenly turned around, narrowed his eyes, looked at the generals kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "Release my 10,000 elite soldiers! I will make Su Yi and the entire Southern Shu pay the price!"

"I will take your orders!"

The mountains were filled with mist in the morning. Autumn was drawing to an end, and the woods were crowded with people, their hair and eyelashes covered with dew, and their clothes covered with frost.

Su Yi would lean against Mu Jin from time to time. Because of his frequent movements, the rustling sound of dead leaves being pressed could be heard from time to time.

Mu Jin endured it again and again! "Can you please stop getting close to me? Also, do you have lice? You're the only one who keeps moving around, and it's making me annoyed!" Mu Jin scolded Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled and said, "It's because the morning dew is too cold. If you get closer to Ah Jin, you won't feel that cold."

Mu Jin was speechless: "If you feel cold, you should go back to the city. This is not the place for you to come."

"How can that be possible?" Su Yi retorted, "I can't rely on Ah Jin alone to build my kingdom for me."

Mu Jin knew that he couldn't win the argument with Su Yi, and he was too lazy to argue with him. "Then move over here. You're always standing next to me, it's annoying!"

"Okay!" Su Yi said, and moved half an inch to the side. It would have been better if he didn't move this half inch. Although Su Yi's weight was no longer on his body, their clothes were still entangled with each other. They were so close that he could even smell their breath.

Mu Jin rolled her eyes at Su Yi and moved aside. But Su Yi moved closer to her. When Mu Jin was about to hit Su Yi, he grabbed her wrist.

His expression suddenly became serious. He put his index finger to his lips, signaling Mu Jin not to make a sound. Mu Jin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and lay on the ground to listen. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.

Mu Jin's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Su Yi, "Finally it seems."

Su Yi smiled at Mu Jin, that smile was as cunning as a fox: "Just as we expected, Su Yuntian couldn't hold back and led his troops to Liangcheng overnight."

"Judging from the sound, there are no less than ten thousand people." Mu Jin said with a frown.

After breaking through Liangmen Pass yesterday, they checked the nearby terrain and knew that Su Yuntian was not a patient man, so they led 5,000 elite soldiers to ambush in the valley overnight, waiting for the arrival of the Dongyue army.

Su Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are on the mountain and they are in the valley. Although we have fewer people than them, once they enter the valley, we will block both ends and trap them in this valley. We can just surround and attack them."

"I just don't know if Su Yuntian will be among them this time." Mu Jin whispered to himself.

Su Yi sneered, "I also hope he is among them, but there are only 10,000 of them, and they are probably the vanguard, coming here to clear the roadblocks. Su Yuntian's army is probably coming not far away."

Mu Jin frowned and asked, "Should we fight or not?"
