Dream of the Red Chamber: After being exiled, I went on a killing spree in Liaodong.

"Then tell me, how did Eastern Wu defeat Liu Bei?"

"Burn down the enemy camps!!!"

Niu Dahao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Liu Bei's army ventured deep into the forest to escape the summer heat, but was utterly routed and routed by Lu Xun's fire attack.

He glanced down at the water stains on his clothes, then hesitated and said:

"But Your Highness, the forest here is very damp; a fire will go out very quickly. To burn down 300,000 Vietnamese troops... I'm afraid that's unlikely!"

If you light a fire in this kind of place, it will at most produce a wisp of smoke and won't last for more than half an incense stick's time.

How could anyone be like Lu Xun, who single-handedly divided the world into three kingdoms with a single fire?

"Are you stupid?"

Jia Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Our goal is to force them out, not to burn them alive inside."

Who expects to wipe out the entire army with a single fire? Naive!

"oh oh!"

Niu Dahao chuckled and scratched his head, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The prince's mind... is too ruthless!

If I had been half as clever as him, I wouldn't be in this mess today.

At that moment, he completely forgot that people had once called Jia Yi a "big fool".

Meanwhile, the 300,000-strong Yue army was marching at breakneck speed and finally arrived at a dense forest on Jia Yi's inevitable route.

"Report—!"

The scout knelt and reported, "Reports from the front lines indicate that Jia Yi's army will not arrive for another day!"

"good!"

The King of Yue's eyes flashed, and he nodded in satisfaction.

"Pass down the order: the entire army must immediately set up an ambush! Lay traps layer upon layer. I want Jia Yi to know what the might of Yue is all about!"

He ordered them to keep going without stopping, and the soldiers didn't even have a chance to catch their breath.

"Grand Preceptor, the soldiers have just marched a thousand miles..."

The Grand Preceptor was panting heavily; his armor had long since been removed, otherwise he wouldn't have lasted this long.

"Could we take a short break?"

"The Imperial Advisor is overthinking it."

The King of Yue waved his hand, "When we withdrew our troops from Guangdong and Guangxi, the speed was much faster, and no one complained of being tired. Why can't we do it now?"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving only his back view.

The Imperial Advisor watched his retreating figure with a helpless expression.

At that time, we were fleeing for our lives, with pursuers like tigers behind us. Who dared to stop?

Now that we're taking the initiative, how can we compare?

But the King of Yue had no time to think about it.

"Damn it! Is the king treating us like livestock?"

"Exactly! I haven't even taken my shoes off, and they're already digging holes and planting mines!"

"Isn't this just exploiting people to death?"

Discontent began to rise in the army. Before the messenger had even finished speaking, the soldiers were already complaining bitterly.

They were hurling insults and were filled with resentment!

Under pressure from their superiors, the soldiers dragged their leaden bodies...

They plunged into the dense forest, using whatever materials were available.

They quickly set up all sorts of killing traps.

The Yue army had just completed a long march.

Before they could even get their footing, they immediately began setting up the trap.

The Imperial Guards lurking in the shadows watched with twitching eyelids!

"Holy crap, are these Vietnamese soldiers made of iron? They don't even take a breath?"

"What triggered them to act so recklessly?"

"It's like a herd of livestock!"

"Wait... something's not right—this is an opportunity!"

A Jinyiwei centurion suddenly roared.

Everyone turned their heads instantly, their eyes fixed on his face.

"Lord Centurion, what opportunity?"

"They don't rest, they fight to the death to defend, and they will surely be exhausted by nightfall."

"Now we should inform the Prince and advance immediately—"

"Launch at midnight, a direct night raid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

"I'll go report it right away!"

Baihu suddenly stood up, turned around, and rushed into the night.

"Keep a close watch, and send a message immediately if there's any sign of trouble!"

The remaining people held their breath, staring intently at any movement in the forest.

I wish I had more eyes so I wouldn't miss a single unusual thing.

……

One hour later.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The centurion stumbled and lunged at Jia Yi, his face covered in sweat and his chest heaving violently.

"Something happened to the Vietnamese army?" Jia Yi's expression tightened.

The last news was only half an incense stick's time ago, and it's happening so fast, something must have changed.

"Your Highness! The Vietnamese army has not rested after their long march—"

"They're working hard to build a trap!"

"Your Highness, please advance your troops swiftly, take advantage of their fatigue, launch a night raid, and achieve a swift victory!"

After speaking haltingly, Baihu was almost completely exhausted.

Niu Dahao's eyes suddenly lit up.

God is on our side!

"Your Highness, this is a golden opportunity!"

His face was practically brimming with excitement.

"really!"

Jia Yi's eyes flashed, and he gave the order without hesitation:

"Order—the entire army accelerates and presses forward!"

The messengers, like arrows released from a bow, spread the orders throughout the army.

"Your Highness, let me lead the charge!"

Niu Dahao rubbed his hands together, eager to try, his eyes blazing with excitement.

"no."

Jia Yi shook his head.

"what?"

"You...are you going to do it yourself again?"

Niu Dahao immediately looked like a child whose candy had been snatched away, staring longingly, his face contorted with grievance.

Didn't you hear me?

"The Vietnamese army is setting a trap; if you rush in rashly, you will surely suffer a backlash!"

"Then... what should we do?"

"I'll do it."

Jia Yi uttered two words indifferently, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He possessed the indestructible divine skill, making him impervious to swords and spears—

Even if the path ahead is a den of dragons and tigers, we can still tear a bloody path through it!

Regarding Jia Yi's habit of always being at the forefront,

Niu Dahao had long since become numb.

If the prince doesn't lead the charge one day, he'll start to question his own existence.

"You lead the main force and stick close to us."

"Wait for the cover of night, then sneak in quietly."

Jia Yi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Niu Dahao turned and ran off, giving instructions to each soldier in turn:

"Once we enter the forest, we must not stray even for a moment; we must stay close to the Prince!"

Jia Yi, on the other hand, selected a group of physically imposing elite soldiers.

They were ordered to wear three layers of heavy armor.

Under the cover of night, they stealthily slipped into the dense forest—

To pave a way out for the army.

At this moment, in the Yue Kingdom's camp.

The traps were just set up, and the tents hadn't even been erected yet.

Everyone collapsed to the ground and fell asleep, their snoring echoing through the forest.

The relentless high-intensity work had already drained them of their last bit of strength.

My limbs felt weak and sore, and I couldn't even muster the thought of turning over.

They all collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even move.

Who would bother setting up a tent at a time like this?

"Your Majesty, shall we wake the soldiers?"

"Let them set up a tent; they can't just sleep in the open like this."

"If you catch a cold and get sick, it will be a big problem."

The Imperial Advisor offered his advice.

Their strength was already far inferior to that of the Great Qian Dynasty.

If another epidemic breaks out, the morale of the army will be thrown into chaos, wouldn't that be courting disaster?

The already slim chance of winning has been reduced to zero!

"Never mind, let them sleep."

"We've traveled such a long way, and now we can't wake him up no matter how much we call him."

Listening to the snoring coming from all directions, the King of Yue knew in his heart that this army had been completely drained of its strength.

"But there's not even a lookout..."

"What if Jia Yi attacks us tonight? Wouldn't we all be doomed here?"

The Imperial Advisor frowned deeply and spoke in a very low voice.

Stop worrying about it!

"Didn't the scouts say that Jia Yi's army still has a day's march to go?"

"They've penetrated deep into our territory; how can we risk our lives to travel? We must conserve our strength for battle!"

The King of Yue waved his hand dismissively.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor found it reasonable and said no more.
