Chapter 11287

Red Leaf Pass.

The more things you do, the more important they are. When they are done, the benefits you gain will definitely be the greatest.

Hua Yuansu is not afraid of doing things. Instead, he is worried that Bai Suxie will not let them do anything.

"Capturing Hongye Pass is our most important goal at the moment. As for whether we can capture Yang Yuanhua, that is not the most important thing." Bai Suxie said lightly.

"There are mountains tens of thousands of miles long on both sides of Hongye Pass. One man can block the passage of ten thousand men. It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It only takes 30,000 people to defend it and resist an army of 300,000. It is difficult to take it head-on, but we can use a surprise force to suddenly open the city gate with the help of inside and outside forces." Hua Yuansu said.

When Luo Xingchen led his troops to attack Loushan Pass, he faced a similar dilemma, and the method he used at that time was also to coordinate internal and external forces.

Since the beginning of time, there have been very few cases where a strong pass was actually taken head-on, and that was due to major mistakes made by the defenders in the city. Unless there were major mistakes, taking a strong pass would always rely on finding another way.

"Can't the soldiers controlled by your Hua family open the city gate?"

Bai Suxie asked in confusion.

The Hua family and the Duan family are extremely powerful in Hongye Pass. How can such aristocratic families not be able to control the city gate?

"It's impossible. Our Hua family only has some middle-level leaders. They are under the system and cannot give orders on their own. The system at the city gate has to check every action several times because Loushan Pass was opened due to internal reasons. Now Yang Yuanhua is guarding very tightly at Hongye Pass. The core army is controlled by his most trusted confidants to eliminate all unstable factors."

Hua Yuansu smiled bitterly.

Yang Yuanhua is a very smart person, but he is not a fool.

Moreover, the Yang family of Bozhou has ruled for so many years, and there are still many loyal fans. Even a broken ship still has three nails.

It was just that the breach of Loushan Pass was too unexpected, and the Qi army advanced too quickly, leaving people unable to react in time.

"There's nothing you can do?" Bai Suxie snorted coldly.

If the Hua family and the Duan family can't do anything, what's the point of treating them preferentially?

"We can mobilize and weaken the defense of the city gate, and make it reach its weakest at some point in the night." Hua Yuansu thought for a while and said.

"Not during the day?" Bai Suxie frowned.

Night marches place extremely high demands on soldiers. Even though the imperial army has strict military discipline, the number of soldiers who can actually fight at night is not large.

"The defense is very strict around the clock during the day, and any disturbance will be detected immediately."

"Come up with a complete plan. Don't write it down. Just dictate it to me." Bai Suxie said calmly.

"This is what we should do." Hua Yuansu nodded.

He was more anxious than Bai Suxie and wanted to show his own value more.

If it is just about maintaining order after the war, there are many family forces that can do this, because those who really jump out to cause trouble are often those idle people and hooligans in society. Those family forces have too much, and unless they are helpless and have no way out, they would rather choose to compromise than fight to the death.

Bai Suxie didn't wait too long. He practiced alone in the room for about half an hour before he heard a sound coming from outside.

Bai Suxie opened his eyes and slowly called out, "Come in."

The door outside opened, but Hua Yuansu was not the only one who came in.

There was also a young man standing next to Hua Yuansu.

This man had a handsome face and looked almost 70% like Hua Yuansu. "Master Bai, this is my most outstanding son, Hua Lingyun."

Then, Hua Lingyun bowed and said, "Lingyun, meet Master Bai."

Hua Lingyun looked respectful. He had not received any news before coming, but when he saw his father Hua Yuansu being so respectful to the person in front of him, he understood that this Lord Bai was no ordinary person.

"Yes, he is indeed a handsome man." Bai Suxie looked at him and nodded slightly.

Hua Lingyun occupies an important position in their plan.

"Ling Yun, you swear that what you saw, heard, and said today will not be disclosed to anyone."

Hua Yuansu said solemnly.

What they have to do is to subvert the existing order and assist the Da Qi army in taking over Hongye Pass. This is not a dinner party and cannot be done with any falsehood or carelessness.

"Yes, I swear that I will not reveal a single word of what I saw, heard, and said today. If I break my promise, Goddess Jinhua will punish me from heaven and I will die without a burial place!"

Hua Lingyun did as he was told without hesitation.

A look of admiration flashed across Bai Suxie's eyes.

No wonder Hua Yuansu thinks so highly of Zhonghua Lingyun.

This Hua Lingyun does not have any of the usual dandy airs that the kids from wealthy families have. Instead, he appears calm, good at observing people's expressions, and is decisive.

Even though he didn't know what would happen next, he didn't ask any questions and immediately did what Hua Yuansu said.

Moreover, Hua Lingyun's oath was made in accordance with the highest standards in Bozhou, because ordinary people in Bozhou believed in Goddess Jinhua. If anyone used Goddess Jinhua as a shield to lie, that person's reputation would be infamous in Bozhou.

"Okay, next we need to discuss the timing and coordination. Mr. Hua, please talk to your son."

Bai Suxie nodded, maintaining the pride and reserve of a master warrior.

Being too friendly in front of outsiders will make people look down on you.

Hua Yuansu immediately informed his son Hua Lingyun of the plan.

Although Hua Lingyun did not say anything, he was extremely shocked in his heart. You know, the Hua family is not an ordinary family in Bozhou... The Hua family and the Yang family intermarried, and their in-laws were complicated. In the eyes of outsiders, the Hua family and the Duan family were both die-hard supporters of the Yang family, the kind of family that would prosper together and suffer together.

And now what the Hua family was going to do was to "rebel"! This shock made Hua Lingyun's brain go blank in a short time, and he couldn't say anything, as if he had lost his language function.

However, he recovered his breath.

Because he found that the Hua family had no chance of turning back, and since he had already entered it, he could only bite the bullet and proceed according to the plan.

In this way, he also knew why his father Hua Yuansu brought him here.

He worked in the military and was in charge of the logistics of the garrison. Every night, a group of logistics personnel had to go to the garrison to clean up all kinds of waste and garbage and transport supplies.

Originally, this kind of thing was done during the day. Since entering Hongye Pass, Yang Yuanhua changed his attitude, adjusted the deployment, and disrupted the previous overall military structure and arrangement.

In Yang Yuanhua's opinion, the biggest problem that caused the Yang family of Bozhou to fall to this point was that there were too many traitors.

If the Yang family's small court did not have so many collaborators, how could Loushan Pass be occupied?

Given the steep terrain of Loushan Pass, it is difficult to capture it head-on.
