"The Lao Hei mountains stretch over 200 li. Beyond the Sheng Jing mountain pass is a narrow road that is dozens of li long. If the enemy is lying in wait along that length, the army will be like a captured turtle in a jar once it enters. In the end, no one will be able to rush to our rescue." Seeing Jing Shao's insistence, Mu Hanzhang helped him with a timely sentence.
"The military advisor is right, but Tiger's Teeth Pass is even more dangerous than Sheng Jing Pass. The Southwest King only needs to set up a formation of less than 100 people there, and it will be enough to stop our thousands of troops." Zhao Meng furrowed his brow and pointed at the location of Tiger's Teeth, Crane's Beak Pass.
Jing Shao knew of a way to overcome Tiger's Teeth Pass, but it was too ingenious and specific; for someone who had never come to the southwest in this lifetime, it would be hard for him to sound convincing. He couldn't help frowning. "We'll discuss this tomorrow!"
After the crowd dispersed, Jing Shao remained seated on the raised platform and continued to frown worriedly at the map of the southwest. To live this life again and clearly know how things would proceed, but not able to say it, really made him sullen. He sighed lightly. If it really was impossible, he could have them lead the troops to Sheng Jing Pass tomorrow, while he himself would take a team of light cavalry and attack Tiger's Teeth Pass.
"Did you receive some information you can't reveal?" Seeing Jing Shao like this, Mu Hanzhang pressed his lips together and sat beside him.
Jing Shao looked up at his Wang Fei, whose eyes were filled with concern, and reached out to pull him into his embrace. "Jun Qing, how is your guess so spot on?"
"Don't you know that all military advisors have mind-reading skills?" Mu Hanzhang smiled and joked in response, before he slowly lowered his eyes. It was because he liked Jing Shao that he would always pay attention to his emotions. He could see that Jing Shao seemed to know a lot of things, but he didn't know where his information came from. If Jing Shao didn't bring it up himself, Mu Hanzhang couldn't ask; when Jing Shao wanted to say it, he would naturally say it.
"Jun Qing, there are some things even I don't understand clearly. I wasn't deliberately trying to conceal it from you." Jing Shao sighed and rested his chin on the shoulder of the man in his arms.
"En." Mu Hanzhang replied softly. He slowly sat up straight to look at Jing Shao and said, "Let's talk about your information and see if I can help you with it or not."
Jing Shao pulled the map off the table and explained in detail what he knew about the ambushes set up by the southwest army and the way to overcome Tiger's Teeth Pass. The more Mu Hanzhang heard, the deeper he frowned. Given how meticulous the information on the arrangements was, it seemed that the spy that Jing Shao had sent to the southwest was really powerful; it was just that it was too specific, which actually made people feel that it was unbelievable.
"They definitely won't believe these little details, and the battlefield is always changing rapidly. I also have no complete assurance that the Southwest King will really follow this in the end." Jing Shao sighed. He knew everything, but he also felt that the world was changing. Everything didn't necessarily follow the original path, so he suddenly felt a little uncertain about what move to make.
"Who do you think is the most suitable for breaking through Tiger's Teeth Pass?" Mu Hanzhang didn't respond to his words, but asked the question directly.
"Hao Dadao!" Jing Shao didn't hesitate to say. That was one of the reasons why he had been in a hurry to find Hao Dadao; that year, Jing Shao had broken through Tiger's Teeth Pass himself. He had been fighting for several months in Sheng Jing Pass to no avail. It was with great difficulty that they finally made a breakthrough, yet they once again ran into an ambush. With no other alternative, he had, as the commander-in-chief of the army, taken a desperate risk, and broke through Tiger's Teeth Pass with a group of men instead. Tiger's Teeth Pass seemed steep and dangerous, but in fact, there were many troops stationed there. However, very skilled people were required for that operation, which required someone who was excellent at martial arts and who knew how to adapt to the circumstances.
