After understanding the situation, I realized that the Lishui Sect monks did not deliberately disobey the military order. The two Jindans were also very aggrieved: "We really want to ignore him, but if we don't care, he will have to die. Instead of dying, it's better to bring him back and ask for some information."

Gu Zuo sighed: "It's also an accident. You two don't have to blame yourself. Let's pay more attention next time and don't chase you so close."

The spy in Yizhou is afraid of death. He doesn't need to be punished at all, but he just shook his mind. As a Jindan monk, he knows a lot.

Li Mi and He Luguang dispatched eight thousand soldiers, and together with the recruited civilians, a total of 15,000, claiming to be 30,000. Among them, there were twelve Jindan generals in the Yizhou army (only eleven left at this moment), more than 60 people had foundation-building cultivation, more than 300 Qi-refining cultivators, and the infantry were mainly martial artists.

In addition, the spy also admitted information that he had not known before. Qingcheng sent four Jindans and more than 20 Foundation Establishment to join the Yizhou Army. Fan Yang's army also sent six Jindans and more than 30 Foundation Establishment to enrich the strength of the cultivators under Li Mi and He Luguang's account.

But the spy said that the monks supported by the Qingcheng Sect and Fan Yang Army had changed into Yizhou military uniforms, which shows that these two families have not yet openly turned against Huaixian Hall. Since that is the case, there is no need for Gu Zuo to make this matter clear, just think that they are all Yizhou troops.

Gu Zuo did not like to play the "professed" trick. The Southern Wu army claimed in the manifesto that there were 3,000 people, but in fact, there were 3,000 people, but only two thousand people actually participated in the war in his plan.

Although the main force of the Yizhou army is the martial arts and the main force of the Southern Wu army is the monks, in terms of the combat power of grassroots sergeants, there is no difference between the strength and weakness between the martial arts and the early stage of Qi Refining cultivators, and they can fight even if they face the late stage of Qi Refining. Therefore, in terms of the strength of the military soldiers, the Yizhou army has an overwhelming advantage.

The Southern Wu army had the advantage of a large number of foundation-building monks. Gu Zuo silently estimated that when he really fought, he could invest 300 foundation-building, which was three times that of the Yizhou army.

Among the Jindan monks, the Southern Wu army currently has more than 40 people, which is slightly more than the Yizhou army. However, among the Nascent Soul monks, both sides are equally matched.

After comparison, Gu Zuo believed that he had a great hope of victory. He had the greatest reliance. The Southern Wu army grew up in the cruel battle of the beast tide. Although the Yizhou army also experienced the siege of the beast tide, as far as he knew, he had never fought any bad battles. Moreover, he also had confidence that others could not understand. Since then, Fan Yang army in the world could reach Chang'an by raising the flag, would the Yizhou army also be invincible?

Military information continued to be fed back from the north, saying that the Yizhou army had just entered Jiazhou, so Gu Zuo's army slowed down again, changing from 50 miles a day to 30 miles a day.

Five days later, before the Yizhou army left Jiazhou territory, the Southern Wu army had already entered Heishan County. Gu Zuo simply ordered a holiday to let the soldiers relax in the county.

It was not until August 20 that the Yizhou army slowly entered Nanzhao and moved south along the junction of Qingchengzhao and Luofuzhao.

The reason why the Yizhou army is slow to move is due to the grassroots sergeants, and they have no cultivation. They naturally walk slowly than the monks - their footwork is slower, which may be one of the few advantages that Qi-refining monks are better than martial artists.

After waiting for another half a month, when the Yizhou army arrived at Longhe City, which bordered Qingchengzhao and Luofuzhao, Gu Zuo ordered the army to revive its strength and set out from Heishan County.

The movements of the army on both sides were under the high altitude surveillance of the other Jindan monks. That night, the Southern Wu army camped in Qianglangchuan, 30 miles north of Heishan County. In the big tent, Gu Zuo looked at Li Gusheng who had changed his clothes, and put his helmet on him. Not to mention, the two of them had the same figure, and when they changed their clothes, they looked very similar without getting closer.

Gu Zuo patted Li Gusheng on the shoulder: "Speak less, if you have any military orders, let Yang Jian convey and publish them."

Li Gusheng agreed: "Don't worry, uncle, this is in his own army, and the enemy spies will definitely not be able to discover them in the sky."

Gu Zuo said to Yang Jian: "You rely on your command to help the troops. Start tomorrow to speed up the marching speed and take the initiative to seize Weiyuan Town. Li Mi thinks that we are going to fight him in Weiyuan Town. Weiyuan Town is less than 200 miles away, but 260 miles away from Longhe City. How can Li Mi feel that he has hope to be ahead? This requires you to grasp it."

Yang Jian smiled and said, "I will send two hundred people to Weiyuan first to make him anxious. The brigade is on the way back and wants to cross Mojiang halfway. When I failed twice when I built the floating bridge, I could delay for half a day, one day, give him hope."

Gu Zuo said again: "Remember, three days later, send 200 elite troops to Mengle Mountain."

Mengle Mountain is the northernmost end of Heishanzhao. The valley road in the mountains is an important passage from north to south. The Yizhou army first passes Mengle Mountain Valley, goes south to Weiyuan Town, then attacks Heishan County City, and finally goes to Nanwuzhou. This is the best route. If you go by, go south from Qingchengzhao to the west, you have to walk 160 miles more and pass east from Luofuzhao, and you have to walk 120 miles more.

Therefore, Gu Zuo's strategy was to make the suspect soldiers slow down and acted to defend Weiyuan Town. The elite troops advanced 80 miles to set up an ambush in Mengle Valley. They accidentally intercepted and killed the Yizhou army and strived to achieve their contributions in one battle!

In Mengle Valley, Gu Zuo has set up two Tiandu Arrays, a Three Yuan Jizhen Magic Array, and a Liangyi Aurora Array. They were all quietly removed from Southern Wuzhou and placed in advance. I believe that they will definitely give Li Mi and He Luguang a surprise.

After the matter was explained, Gu Zuo and Sanniangzi and Wanhe Sanren left the military camp at night. Behind them were four Jindans from Lishui Camp and more than twenty Foundation Buildings. In three days, the 200 elite troops selected by Lishui Camp will rush to Mengle Mountain and be the last group of vital forces to join the battle.

The group rushed to the road overnight, with Gu Zuo leading the way. The road was extremely smooth, and he was completely uninterrupted by monsters. He ran a hundred miles overnight.

When it was almost dawn, I slowed down and walked through the densest part of the forest. In the evening, I saw Weiyuan Town in the basin from afar.

After a short rest, everyone walked around Weiyuan Town along the foothills, headed north along the foothills of the mountain, and finally arrived at the southern entrance of the Mengle Valley.

Cheng Shanhu had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Gu Zuo, he brought them into a large cave. There were soldiers along both sides of the cave wall, and more than 300 disciples of Huaixian Pavilion from Huaixian Camp were stationed.

Elder Shang, butcher, Taoist priest Yuan, Su San and other core members of Huaixian Pavilion are all here. When they see Gu Zuo, they call "the master" and the disciples call "the uncle".

After saying hello to everyone, Cheng Shanhu took Gu Zuo into the deepest part, which is the "center army tent".

After Gu Zuo sat down, he immediately asked: "Where has the Yizhou army been?"

The butcher shook his head: "It's still in Longhecheng, and hasn't come out."

It was normal to enter the city to rest for two days, so Gu Zuo began to inquire about the preparations of each battalion.
