Just when the trouble was a little irrelevant, Zhao Yuan was taking seven or eight hundred people straight to the sub-rule of the Underworld Gate. It was different from before. He was crowded now, so there was no need to fight guerrilla warfare, just fight on the positional war.

The vast team headed straight to the sub-rule of the Underworld Gate, but the sub-rule of the Underworld Gate was empty at this moment, and even the valuable things had been emptied.

It was getting late now, so Zhao Yuan asked everyone to rest on the spot. The spy sent by Wugang had already sent the news back.

Wugang entered the house with intelligence. At this moment, there was another person in the house, the constable sent by the prefect, and this person was named Yao Sheng.

Wugang handed the information to Zhao Yuan first and said, "Master, the information from the Underworld Gate has been sent!"

Zhao Yuan took the information and looked carefully, then handed it to Yao Sheng, and said, "Captain Yao, look at it."

Yao Sheng took the information, looked carefully, and said, "The people from the Underworld Gate began to concentrate on the headquarter?"

Zhao Yuan said: "At least the information above shows that it is indeed the case. It seems that they are planning to fight to the death with us. Well, besides that, do they have other reinforcements?"

Wugang said: "Not yet!"

Zhao Yuan looked at Yao Sheng and said, "Captain Yao, but I feel a little confused!"

Yao Sheng looked carefully and said, "They only have three or four hundred people, but we have seven or eight hundred people. In terms of the number of people, we are far better than them. In this case, if we fight to the death with us, there is no chance of winning at all. They are still posing as a decisive battle, which seems something is wrong!"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "That's true. We have been to their head coach. To be honest, there is no so-called defense available at all, and there is no natural danger to rely on. It is really puzzling to put on such a posture."

When fighting, they want to win. If they don’t want to win, wouldn’t that be no different from seeking death? But the key problem now is that they clearly know that they can’t win at all, so why do they still put on such a stance?

Yao Sheng looked at the map in front of him and asked in confusion: "Does they have any conspiracy?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I am thinking about this question too!"

Yao Sheng was silent for a moment and said in confusion: "But now I can't see what conspiracy they are planning to do! I didn't find anything unusual along the way!"

Zhao Yuan said: "This is the place that makes people even more confused. No suspicious places were found, nor did they find suspicious people. Well, according to this, they only have two ways to beat us. The first is to have natural dangers to rely on, such as city walls, but unfortunately, they did not. Second, there is a surprise attack, and we were caught off guard. Now it seems that this road is the most suitable way. If we catch us off guard, then we can only choose a place where they think they are most likely to defeat us!"

Yao Sheng nodded and said, "That's true. So now it seems that where is the most suitable place to defeat us?"

Zhao Yuan said: "The military strategy is cloudy. If the time and place are right, people will be harmonious. If you want to ambush the enemy, you will naturally have to satisfy these methods. First, the right place is to be in a position of good location, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, there is no cavalry for each other. The best place is to give full play to the advantages of the archers. Second, the attacked team is difficult to spread and the troops cannot be concentrated, and the satisfaction of this is... "

Zhao Yuan slowly drew the map in the direction of his team's advance, then stopped, tapped gently, and said, "Then it's here, Yingzui Gorge!"

Although Yingzui Gorge is not the only way to go to the Underworld Gate Main Route, it is the fastest place. There is only a small path under the entire canyon, with steep cliffs on both sides, which are very difficult to climb. Of course, this so-called very difficult to climb does not mean that it is impossible to climb. If you have enough time, it is not difficult to climb.

Yao Sheng said: "So what do you mean is they will set up an ambush in Yingzui Gorge?"

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe, but the scale is not large, it is very likely to be a feint!"

Yao Sheng said in confusion: "Fake attack!"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Because we can think of what they can think of, on the other hand, we can think of it, they can think of it, Yingzui Gorge is indeed a very good attack location, but this ambush location is too obvious. If I were me, I wouldn't set up an ambush here. Although Yingzui Gorge is the nearest road, it is not a necessary road. We just need to bypass it, and it will only take half a day. You must know that we are not in a hurry. There is more time, so we may not necessarily go!"

Yao Sheng said strangely: "What do you mean by feint attack?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Their feint attack here is actually just to lure the enemy into depth. They will be defeated and then run away in a hurry, making us feel that they are vulnerable and careless, and then fall into their real trap!"

Zhao Yuan's fingers moved forward gently, stopped after a while, tapped them gently with his hands, and said, "It should be here!"

Yao Sheng looked and said, "Hu?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, it's here. Although this lake is not big, if we come out of Yingzui Gorge, we have to continue to head towards their headquarter. Crossing this lake is the best choice. The surrounding terrain of the lake is steep. If you want to bypass this lake, you have to spend at least one more day. Crossing the river is our best choice. We have more than 700 people in total. If you want to cross the river, you have to have at least twenty boats. But for a while, you can't find enough ships, so you can only cross the river in batches.

For example, if one hundred or two hundred people are ferried at one time! At this time, if the ambushed underworld gate suddenly attacks the people who cross the river first, then we must face one hundred people with hundreds of them. Because across the lake, we can only watch them being eaten. At this time, if we send hidden water ghosts to destroy my ship, our losses will be even greater. After all, not every disciple of the branch can have water, but when the Underworld gate has been dealing with water for many years, there are many people who can water among them!"

Yao Sheng felt a little numb when he heard this, and said, "If this is the case, we will lose nearly one or two hundred people without any precautions, which will be a big blow to morale. He was at the head of the steward to fight us to the death, just to confuse us and make us feel that they have no trajectory."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes! Wugang... immediately send someone to Yingzui Gorge to inquire with the lakeside. If there is any news, come and report it immediately!"

Wugang said: "Yes, the sect leader!"

After receiving the order, Wugang immediately sent someone to inquire. On the other hand, the team still moved according to the original route. Of course, there was no resistance along the way. According to the team's route, the fastest route must pass through Yingzui Gorge.

Just the day before we arrived at Yingzui Gorge, the spies sent back the news. Wugang found Zhao Yuan excitedly with the information, and handed over the information in his hand, saying, "Master, the information has been sent. As the master expected, they set up ambushers in Yingzui Gorge. However, due to the restrictions of the canyon, there were only fifty or sixty ambushers here. They also thought that we would definitely shoot the spies to explore the way first, so they hid in Yingzui Gorge two days in advance. Our people also let them see us as instructed. In addition, traces of the Underworld Gorge were also found in the valley about three miles across the lake, with at least 300 people."

Yao Sheng looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise and said admiringly: "I was actually expected by the sect leader! The sect leader is really a god!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "I am not a god, I just think about problems from the perspective of my opponent."

Yao Sheng said: "Since we have figured out the enemy's strategy, what should we do next? Let's use the strategy?"

Zhao Yuan said: "It's not possible to use the trick. Even if we have enough ships to cross the river, during the process of crossing the river or when we are about to get ashore after crossing the river, it is still the most vulnerable time for us. The number of enemies is large, and our casualties will be very large!"

Yao Sheng said: "Since you don't use the trick, then I don't know what the sect leader can do?"

Zhao Yuan said: "This marching and fighting is the same as fighting with others. To win, you naturally have to find the enemy's flaws, that is, use our advantages to fight their weaknesses!"

Yao Sheng asked in confusion: "Weakness?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Our advantage now lies in the advantage of our number, which is almost twice their number. Our advantage is naturally their disadvantage. If they want to give us conspiracy, we will not give them the opportunity to conspiracy!"

Yao Sheng said: "What does the sect leader mean?"

Zhao Yuan looked at the map again and said, "In fact, it's very simple. We don't go to Yingzui Gorge or cross the lake, and go straight to their steward from the mainland. It's not a problem to delay time a little. The most important thing is that the route we chose is flat and has a broad vision. There is no way to set up an ambush. They want to give us the secret, so I won't give them a chance and force them to fight face to face with us! So tomorrow morning, we will change the route!"

Yao Sheng said: "There is another problem. Our supplies and other things are still on the boat! For the convenience of transportation, the ships can transport the river. The soldiers did not bring much dry food, and they probably could only last for about one day. After all, this is to reduce the burden on the soldiers. But there is at least three or four days to go from here to their headquarter! Without our protection, these ships might be sunk by water ghosts!"

Zhao Yuan looked at Wugang and asked, "How long will it take for the ship to transport supplies to arrive!"

Wugang said: "Around the third update tonight!"

Zhao Yuan said: "Okay, just wait for the supply ship to arrive, and then everyone will prepare four days of dry food!"

Four days of dry food is not a heavy burden for a disciple of the Iron Blood Sect.

So, all the disciples waited patiently. At the third update, the ship transporting supplies arrived. According to Zhao Yuan's request, all the disciples brought enough dry food for four days and then had a good rest until the next morning, they immediately changed their route and headed straight to the steward of the Underworld Gate, and directly bypassed Yingzui Gorge and the lake.

As Zhao Yuan expected, the Underworld Gate did set up a trap in front, and the trap set up the person is Dou Mu. He knew very well that the difficulties faced by the people now are nearly 700 people in the Iron Blood Sect, and the total number of them is only more than 400 people. Moreover, these more than 400 people are different from the disciples of the Iron Blood Sect. To be precise, their morale is very low. With more than 400 people against more than 700 people, they have almost no chance of winning. On the other hand, Dou Yuan

Dou Mu and Dou Guo were indeed furious when they were killed and wanted to avenge their elder brother. Then for many disciples of the underworld, they had no idea what their gang leader looked like and did not get along with him. His killing had no effect on many disciples. It was difficult for many people to sacrifice themselves for Dou Yuan's revenge. Once the war between the two sides started, there would be many people who escaped and they would be defeated directly.

Thinking of this, Dou Mu had to think of other ways. If he fought head-on, he couldn't win, so he had to think of other ways!

The Underworld Gate controls the river, so he is naturally very familiar with this terrain, so he formulated a very precise plan, one of which is the feint attack from Yingzui Gorge, and then lures the Iron Blood Gate into the lakeside, and then takes the opportunity to destroy them when crossing the river. Of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate 700 people, but even if one hundred people are eliminated, it will be a great blow to the enemy's morale and a great boost to one's morale.

Dou Muna was very confident about his plan, so he arranged it very carefully, and even went to take charge of the command. However, the next morning, news came from Yingzui Gorge that the disciples of the Iron Blood Sect did not arrive. They originally thought they were walking slowly, but they still didn't see anyone near noon. So Dou Mu immediately sent someone to inquire, but the information he inquired suddenly made him feel a little collapsed. The disciples of the Iron Blood Sect did not follow the original route to Yingzui Gorge, but changed the route, walked directly to the main road, and headed straight to the steward. In this way, although the time was later, it would not take much time.

"Why did they suddenly change the route? Did our plan be exposed?"

Dou Mu had to think about this issue carefully, but after thinking about it, he didn't know where the problem was.
