Chapter 84: Decapitation Operation
"Yanmen Pass!" Jin Yao knew very well what the appearance of such a large army inside the pass meant.
The fireworks at night can illuminate the sky, and a bunch of pear blossoms rise into the sky.
This was a special kind of firework, so bright that all the scholars within a radius of thirty miles could see it clearly.
Because the fireworks were white, as white as withered trees, the fireworks were both a call and a promise from the head of one of the most prominent schools of thought at the time. No matter who they were or what family they came from, as long as they arrived in time, they would get a promise from the head of one of the most prominent schools of thought!
"Fireworks from a prominent school!" Hundreds of scholars around Yanmen Pass stopped what they were doing when they heard or saw the fireworks and rushed towards the place where the fireworks were rising.
"Bian Shou!" Gu, who was escorting the residents of Feisha Town, also saw that there were very few people who could release the fireworks of the famous school. Apart from the Mohist master, the head of Confucianism and the head of Taoism, only Jin Yao had obtained one, and it was given to Jin Yao by the Six-Fingered Black Knight before they came out.
At the border of Yanmen Pass, neither the Six-Fingered Black Knight nor the head of Confucianism can be there, so the only male who has it is Jin Yao.
"General, please escort the people away!" Gu Xiangyoujiao said goodbye and left without hesitation.
He was Jin Yao's bodyguard, and it was a mistake for him to leave. It was impossible for him to stay sitting there knowing that Jin Yao had issued such an urgent order.
The silvery-white fireworks continued for nine times, with half an hour intervals between them.
"You are right here!" The head of Chiyou Hall, one of the six halls of the Nong family, left his disciples behind and rushed over.
"I wonder if it's Taoism or Confucianism?" Xianyu, the head of the novelist group, frowned, but rushed over as soon as possible.
…
Hundreds of masters, including sect leaders, hall masters, and elders, all rushed over as soon as possible.
Jin Yao stood there quietly waiting. This was inside the Great Wall, and he didn't believe that any barbarians would dare to invade.
"Head of the novelists, Xianyu, nice to meet you, Mr. Xianxue!" Xianyu was the first to arrive.
Next came the Chiyou Hall of the Nong family, a manager of the famous family, and then the top masters of each family, a total of eleven people.
When Gu arrived, eleven people had already arrived.
"The military strategist, the deputy general of Yanmen Pass, Yan Ju, greets Mr. Xianxue." It is impossible for Yanmen Pass not to see the white fireworks, but the main general cannot leave, so only the deputy general came.
"What's the situation at Yanmen Pass?" Jin Yao asked directly, and the other masters were listening attentively.
"The barbarians are knocking on the gate, and the general has to confront them head-on because of some things." Yan Ju said helplessly. In fact, they also knew very well that the current Zhao State had no ability to launch a major war against the barbarians, but Handan did not think so.
"The barbarians have already sent a thousand-man army into the Feisha Formation. This should not be just one army. There must be other armies supporting them. Do you know?" Jin Yao looked at Yan Ju and asked.
"Ah?" Yan Ju was stunned. They had absolutely no intelligence about this and hadn't discovered anything.
Looking at Yan Ju's affectionate expression, Jin Yao knew that Yanmen Pass was not aware of this matter.
"Cut off the rear wheels and cut off support!" As a military strategist, Yan Ju was no incompetent and he understood the seriousness of the matter in an instant.
"It's too late. The other party has already arrived here, but you know nothing about it. This proves that the other party is well prepared this time !" Jin Yao said solemnly.
"Mr. Xianyu, please go to Handan for help immediately!" Jin Yao looked at Xianyu and said.
Only Xianyu's identity was high enough to attract the attention of the State of Zhao and allow him to meet the King of Zhao directly.
"Okay!" Xianyu also understood the seriousness of the matter. He took the border general token from Yan Ju and rushed to Handan.
Jin Yao turned and looked at Yan Ju and the eleven masters.
"I'm afraid the barbarians have already surrounded the army at Yanmen Pass. It will be difficult for us alone to stop the army's advance!" Jin Yao said dully.
All the masters were silent. They knew very well that individual strength was no match for a large army.
"To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. If you believe me, I am sure I can find the barbarian's central camp. What we have to do is to behead and kill the barbarian leaders!" Jin Yao looked at the eleven masters.
"This journey is a life-threatening one. If any of you don't want to leave, you can leave halfway. I will never tell anyone else. I just hope that those who leave will not leak it!" Jin Yao spoke again!
"Is the chief of defense an insult to us?" The head of the Chiyou Hall of the Nong family looked at Jin Yao angrily and said.
Jin Yao ignored him, looked at the others, and smiled.
Those who can become masters of the Hundred Schools are not cowards who are afraid of death. Their eyes are all firm.
"No one has withdrawn, so next, please trust me!" Jin Yao saluted towards the ten masters from the Hundred Schools.
"For the Central Plains of China, I will never regret even if I die!" Everyone responded!
"Brother, please follow the general back to Yanmen Pass to prepare for battle and wait for news from us!" Jin Yao looked at Gu.
The Mohist school is good at defense, which is known to all the schools of thought. However, since Gu has never experienced killing, Jin Yao has no intention of taking him along even if he has superhuman strength.
The most important thing is that none of them can be sure to come back alive, so someone needs to go back and tell everyone after they die!
"Let's go!" Jin Yao acted decisively. He asked everyone to leave their identity tokens and hand them over to Gu, then he disappeared into the night with the ten masters.
"Good luck to everyone!" Yan Juhe and Gu saluted towards the night sky. They knew very well that this might be the last time they would see these people, but no one showed even the slightest hesitation.
The fellow travelers include farmers, Taoists, Confucianists, and strategists...
A group of eleven people left Yanmen Pass and avoided the enemy's scouts, but followed the scouts' return route and found the barbarian camp.
"It turns out that they have wolfish ambitions and are plotting something evil!" The ten masters felt fear when they looked at the enemy's camp. There were tents connected to the sky, and there was no end in sight.
"There are at least 200,000 or 300,000 people!" Jin Yao made a rough estimate and came to the conclusion.
"It's really a turbulent time for the State of Zhao!" Others shook their heads helplessly.
First, they were surrounded and attacked by the 600,000-strong army of the State of Yan, and now they are besieged by the 300,000-strong army of the northern barbarians.
All in all, the State of Zhao was besieged by nearly one million troops in the past two years!
"Don't underestimate the barbarians. They are not bad at seizing opportunities. Their ability to seize opportunities even far exceeds that of any country in the Central Plains!" Jin Yao said seriously.
On the grassland, survival of the fittest prevails and only the strong can survive. They believe in the law of wolf nature, so Li Mu collectively calls all the tribes on the grassland the wolf tribe!
Wolves have a keen sense of smell, so they knew very well what the current situation was in Zhao State and Yanmen Pass. So they united and attacked together, in order to plunder back all that they had not gotten from Li Mu over the years and make enough money in one go.
Because they knew better that after this time, Zhao would definitely re-employ Li Mu, and then in the coming year, they would once again face iron-clad fortresses and empty land without even a grain of rice left for them.
