Meng Hu said: "If Zhao Yue can calm down and concentrate his efforts to defend Sanjiang City, then he can form a horn with Hexi Fortress. Situ Rui's army will fall into a dilemma between Sanjiang City and Hexi Fortress. Then the outcome of this battle will be unpredictable. I am afraid that Zhao Yue will not be able to calm down and lead the entire army to Hexi Fortress to fight Situ Rui to the death. If this is the case, this battle will be of little danger."

Lei Ming changed his face in an instant and asked in a narrow voice: "Hu Zi, do you think the Governor will come?"

Meng Hu sneered: "He will definitely come."

"It's broken." Lei Ming stamped his feet and said anxiously, "It's broken now. Oh, I shouldn't have let Miss Qinghan stay!"

Meng Hu said coldly: "If Zhao Qinghan is not allowed to stay, then Zhao Yue will give up you and me without hesitation, give up Hexi Fortress, and then divide his troops to defend the enemy to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. Unfortunately, Situ Rui was prepared for a long time and would definitely not give him enough time. So the final result is the same. The Western Legion will inevitably be defeated by each one, and the Western Province will inevitably fall. Since the final result is the same, why should you sacrifice your life in vain?"

Lei Ming was silent and asked a little lonely after a while: "Huzi, have you known this will be the result?"

After patting Lei Ming's shoulder, Meng Hu comforted: "Old Lei, don't blame yourself too much. This is not your responsibility alone, nor even Zhao Yue's responsibility. It's a problem with the entire Glory Empire. Then he met a difficult and cunning opponent like Situ Rui. What's more, even if Zhao Yue's main force in the Western Legion is destroyed, it may not be the end of the world."

Lei Ming looked at Meng Hu in a daze, his eyes showing inquisitive expression.

Meng Hu suddenly showed a faint solemn aura on his face and said, "Situ Rui is calculating us, but I, Meng Hu, are you at the mercy of others? When he opened his bloody mouth to Zhao Yue's army, that is, when we launch a Jedi counterattack against him, our counterattack may not change the result of this battle, but it is entirely possible to change the future strategic pattern of the two empires!"

Lei Ming was confused and asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"

"What does it mean?" Meng Hu said sternly, "It's very simple. Situ Rui's life and death alone is enough to change the strategic pattern between the two empires!"

"You want to attack Situ Rui?"

Lei Ming said sternly, "Hu Zi, how much do you have to make?"

"Not half a percent!"

Meng Hu said expressionlessly, "But this is our only chance. When Situ Rui concentrates all his energy on dealing with Zhao Yue, he will inevitably reveal his flaws!"

▲▲▲

In the mountains of green clouds.

Situ Rui and Du Yu slowly climbed a dangerous peak under the escort of a team of guards.

Standing under the dangerous peak and looking down, I saw a canyon at my feet. The bluestone in the valley was exposed and there was no grass growing, but it was very spacious, and it was more than enough to accommodate a large army of 100,000. There were cliffs dozens of feet high on both sides of the valley, which was very dangerous.

Situ Rui pointed to the valley under his feet and turned around and asked, "What is the name of this valley?"

Du Yu, who was prepared, stepped forward and responded: "Report to the Governor, this mountain is called Duanhun Mountain, and this valley is called Duanhun Valley."

"Soul-Breaking Valley?" Situ Rui said in a deep voice, "What a dangerous name! It's really a mountain as its name, and a valley as its name."

As he was speaking, a heavy footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

Situ Rui and Du Yu turned around and saw a handsome and handsome young general strode towards him.

Seeing this young general, Situ Rui's cold eyes immediately became softer. Du Yu, who was on the side, greeted him with a smile and said repeatedly: "Du Yu, I have met the prince-consort."

The young general quickly stepped forward to hold Du Yu and said, "Uncle Du has ruined his nephew."

Situ Rui also smiled and advised Du Yu, "Du Yu, Hao'er is just your junior, and he has not officially married the third princess, why should you be so polite?"

Du Yu smiled and stood aside.

The young general then stepped forward to worship Situ Rui, and knelt on one knee and sang, "I'll bow to my father."

Situ Rui waved his hand, his face replied to his initial coldness, and said, "Get up."

This young general is Situ Hao, the only son of Situ Rui, the leader of the Scythe Knights of the Mingyue Empire, and the fiancé of Qiu Yutang, the third princess of the Mingyue Empire. If it weren't for this war related to the national destiny of the Mingyue Empire, Situ Hao might have already married Qiu Yutang.

Thinking that this war delayed his son's marriage, Situ Rui felt guilty and said, "Hao'er, you won't have any thoughts in your heart when your father transfers your Scythe Knights to the front line at this time, right? And His Highness the Third Princess, she didn't blame her father in her heart, right?"

Situ Hao said solemnly: "As a man from the Situ family, it was originally a matter of duty to fight for the empire. Not to mention that he only delayed the marriage period, even if he sacrificed his life for the country, the child would never frown. As for Yutang, his father should know better than his son. With her intelligence and wisdom and profound understanding of righteousness, the father does not have to worry at all."

"Um."

Situ Rui nodded slightly, and a trace of imperceptible pride suddenly flashed across his slightly old face.

Looking back, Situ Rui said to Du Yu confidently: "Du Yu, this is here. This is the big tomb chosen by me for Zhao Yue and his Western Legion!"

Du Yu looked slightly moved and asked in confusion: "Governor General, Duanhun Mountain is dangerous, and Duanhun Valley is even more deadly in and out of Jue Valley. How can we lure Zhao Yue and his Western Legion into this valley?"

"Induce?" A faint hero suddenly surged on Situ Rui's face and said, "No, it's not temptation, but forcing! This time, this governor will use his absolute superior force to force Zhao Yue and his Western Legion into this valley, and then trap them to death!

Du Yu whispered: "Push into it?"

"Yes, force it into it!"

Situ Rui reached out and pointed to the endless hilly area in the distance, and continued, "Du Yu, look, that vast hill is the remnant of Qingyun Mountain and the end of the Hexi Canyon. Going over the hills to the east is the fertile Sanjiang Plain. If Zhao Yue's reinforcements are coming, they must pass through this hill."

Du Yu said: "But this hill is neither steep nor dangerous. People can pass freely, and the vision is wide, so it is difficult to ambush the troops."

Situ Rui said: "It is a fact that this hill is without danger, and it is not necessarily possible to be ambushed."

"Oh?" Du Yu said happily, "I wonder what the Governor's plan is?"

"Three years ago, after the Battle of Despair Valley ended, my governor came to this hill overnight to inspect it, but found a huge secret!" After saying this, Situ Rui suddenly felt a faint regret on his face, and then said, "It's a pity that King Ning rebelled later, and my governor was forced to withdraw his troops, so he missed a great opportunity in vain."

Du Yu looked anxious and asked, "What secret has the Governor discovered?"

Situ Rui pointed to the winding river in front of him and asked, "Did you see that river?"

Du Yu said: "Isn't this the Tongtian River? The holy river in our Middle-earth world! It originates from the snowy holy mountain deep in the Death Desert, and then spreads across the entire Middle-earth world from east to west, and finally merges into the sea."

Situ Rui asked again: "Have you noticed something abnormal in this section of Tongtian River?"

"Exception?" Du Yu frowned, "What's the abnormal?"

Situ Hao, who was standing on the side, suddenly said, "Father, this section of the river that connects the sky seems to be a little yellow."

"Yes."

Du Yu suddenly said, "This section of the river that runs through the sky is really yellow. The prince consort is very careful and has a talent that is not inferior to the Governor back then. It seems that after the Governor, the Situ family will produce another good general. This is really a great blessing for the empire."

Situ Hao hurriedly said, "Uncle Du is too good, but my nephew is ashamed of being accused of taking responsibility."

Situ Rui smiled slightly and said, "You Uncle Du is not wrong. You don't praise others for your father, but today I still want to praise you. You have indeed made great progress in the past two years! So now, I will take the exam for you again. This section of Tongtian River is a little yellow, but why?"

"The yellowing of the river is nothing more than a lot of mud and sand mixed in the water..."

Situ Hao suddenly paused and said loudly, "I understand, father, I know what the secret you are talking about!"

"Oh, then you'll talk."

Situ Rui's expression was still calm, but Du Yu, who was observing carefully, found unstoppable pride in his eyes. It can be seen that Situ Rui was really satisfied with this son, but then again, Situ Hao was indeed a natural talent. Not only was he the best among the younger generation in the Mingyue Empire, but looking at the entire Middle Earth world... I'm afraid that only Meng Hu could compete with him.

Situ Hao said: "If the child is not mistaken, the soil of that hill should be loess. The loess is pineapple and soft after being soaked in the river, making it very easy to dig! Therefore, our army can dig tens of thousands of caves in that hilly area in a short period of time, and it is no problem to hide hundreds of thousands of troops, and then disguise it at the entrance of the cave. The Guanghui Empire Army would never have expected that our army would be ambushed in the hilly area and would inevitably be buried!"

"Okay!" Du Yu shouted, "What a plan! The prince-consort is extraordinary talent. I admire his humble position, and I admire him!"

Situ Rui could no longer hide his joy and complacency. He smiled after stroked his beard and laughed, and the cheerful laughter came from the mountains far and far away.
