Wang Li was one of the famous generals who was good at fighting and was good at resourcefulness.
This was also the main reason why Chu Ting had kept Wang Li in San Pass to defend against the Xiongnu.
After all, San Pass was the frontline of the western border. If a fierce general who only knew how to fight head-on was placed in San Pass, it would be a huge drain on the country's strength.
As a general with a lot of wisdom, it was impossible for Wang Li not to know the importance of the grain road. Logically speaking, he should have arranged for people to defend the flat road.
However, there was not a single garrison on the flat road. Was Wang Li careless? Of course not.
When he had just left San Pass, Wang Li had indeed deployed 3,000 troops to defend the flat road. However, in the decisive battle with Fang La, Wang Li was worried that his 30,000 troops would not be enough to fight against Fang La's 80,000 troops.
After another great victory, the Scattered Pass Army had killed 20,000 enemies. Now that Fang La had retreated to the eastern part of Mei County and could not threaten the rear of the Scattered Pass Army, Wang Li transferred 3,000 soldiers from the rear to replenish them.
However, no matter how resourceful Wang Li was, he did not expect the Liu family to rebel at this time!
A small mistake had caused a huge crisis. Liu Ziye had also seen the loopholes in the deployment of the Scattered Pass Army, so he immediately offered the strategy of the Food Depletion Path to Dugu Xian.
In this way, he would be able to join the Heavenly Saint Army and display his worth in front of Dugu Xian so that he could ascend to a high position as soon as possible. Secondly, he could take revenge on Wang Li and Wang Teng.
When Liu Ziye was retreating, he saw the chaos in the Liu Clan and knew that the Liu Clan was finished. Out of caution, he had escaped through a secret passage that he had prepared beforehand.
Liu Ziye was someone who could even abandon his own father, Liu Xiong. One could only imagine how ruthless this person was.
Rebellion was a crime that could kill all nine generations. Now that he had joined the Heavenly Saint Army, Liu Ziye couldn't think of any reason why Wang Teng would let his wife and children go. Therefore, because of Wang Teng, he was filled with hatred for Wang Li.
Liu Ziye was very confident in his plan to cut off the supply of food. He did not believe that Dugu Xian would miss the opportunity to wipe out the 30,000 elites of the Han army.
However, Liu Ziye didn't expect Shi Bao, who had been standing silently at the side, to suddenly interject.
"Is that all?"
Liu Ziye was stunned. He didn't quite understand what Shi Bao meant.
"No, if this plan can be successfully implemented, we can definitely wipe them all out…"
Before Liu Ziye could finish, Shi Bao interrupted him. Shi Bao said disdainfully,"I was wondering what kind of brilliant plan you aristocratic children could come up with. It's just so-so. The young miss has thought of everything you thought of, and it's even more comprehensive and perfect.”
Liu Ziye was stunned when he heard this. His first reaction was disbelief. However, Shi Bao did not seem to be lying. Could it be that this woman had thought of this in advance?
Shi Bao saw Liu Ziye's disbelief and continued,""Why else do you think we're here? Wasn't it all because I was waiting for you? Miss had already guessed that you might come back alive. Most of what you said just now was right, but there was one thing that was wrong.”
Looking at Dugu Xian's flawless face, Liu Ziye suddenly had the illusion that the woman in front of him was terrifying.
"Oh?" Liu Ziye pretended to be surprised. I'd like to hear the details!"
" Mei County doesn't just have my big brother's fifty thousand soldiers. The leader of the North Region's Revolutionary Army, Zhang Zhong, has already led fifty thousand soldiers to reinforce them. His goal is to wipe out the thirty thousand Scattered Pass Army in Dai County as quickly as possible. There are a hundred thousand in Shidai County…"
"Enough!"
Before Shi Bao could finish, he was interrupted by Dugu Xian. Dugu Xian glared at Shi Bao when he saw how easily Shi Bao had revealed the secrets of the Heavenly Saint Army to Liu Ziye. Shi Bao realized that he was too proud of himself, so he quickly shut up and lowered his head.
"All troops, listen up. Move out." Dugu Xian ordered coldly.
After two hours of traveling, Dugu Xian and his thousand soldiers finally arrived at the flat road.
"General, the road ahead is flat!" Liu Ziye pointed at the long and narrow winding path in front of him and said slowly.
Dugu Xian glanced at Gu Dao, who was extremely quiet, and said coldly,""Order the entire army to stop marching!"
"Miss, what's wrong?" Shi Bao, who was at the back, noticed the abnormality in front of him and asked.
"Wang Teng is here. There's an ambush ahead!”Dugu Xian stared straight ahead and said indifferently.
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Dugu Xian ignored the crowd and rode to the entrance of the road alone. She shouted,""Little Teng 'er, come out. I know you're here!”
When Wang Teng heard this, he hid behind a huge rock. Although he didn't know where he had revealed his weakness, he knew that Dugu Xian had indeed discovered him. He couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. He had almost wiped out the 1,000 enemy troops.
Although Shi Bao's 1,000-strong army had left the battlefield, Wang Teng could not allow them to wreak havoc in San Pass. Therefore, when Shi Bao had just led his army to retreat, Wang Teng had sent spies to investigate the movements of Shi Bao's army.
After taking down the Liu family, when the spy reported that Shi Bao had gone to the flat road, Wang Teng knew that Dugu Xian was definitely targeting the grain route of the Mei County's Scattered Pass Army. Therefore, he quickly changed his wolf cavalry and heavy cavalry into light cavalry. Then, he led more than 400 light wolf cavalry to the flat road at full speed to rescue them.
Dugu Xian's subordinates were all infantrymen. Even if they were to march quickly, they would not be able to compare to the wolf cavalry that had already transformed into light cavalry and had two horses.
When Wang Teng arrived at the flat road, he realized that Dugu Xian had not arrived yet. Therefore, he wanted to rely on the dangerous terrain of the flat road to ambush the Heavenly Saint Army.
Wang Teng felt that this plan was very feasible. In the hearts of Dugu Xian and the others, their main energy must still be dealing with the remaining enemies of the Liu family. It was impossible for them to appear on the flat road.
Therefore, Wang Teng made a prompt decision and immediately seized the favorable terrain. He was prepared to ambush Dugu Xian on the flat road and wipe out the 1,000 soldiers.
Even though there was a 'flat' word in the name of the flat path, it had nothing to do with peace. Moreover, the terrain was very dangerous.
It was because of this geographical advantage that Wang Teng was confident that the four hundred exhausted wolf cavalry would be able to completely destroy Dugu Xian and Liu Ziye's one thousand enemy troops.
However, man's plan was not as good as God's plan. Wang Teng thought that his concealment was foolproof, but he did not expect to be discovered by Dugu Xian.
Since he had already been discovered by the other party, there was no point in hiding. Therefore, Wang Teng urged his horse to come in front of Dugu Xian and asked with a smile,"You're the only one who dares to call me that now. But there's one thing I'm curious about. Sister Xian, how did you find out? Is there a flaw in my plan?”
Yue Fei and Wen Yuanjiang saw that Wang Teng was going to face Dugu Xian alone, so they immediately followed closely behind. It should be known that the Empress had never been defeated since her debut. Even the Sword Saint Chun Yue could not do anything to her. Yue Fei and Wen Yuanjiang did not think that Wang Teng was a match for Dugu Xian.
