Where exactly is the last page of Chapter 438?
Upon hearing this news, Touman Chanyu suddenly stood up from his tiger-skin chair, his eyes gleaming.
"Good! Good! May the Eternal Heaven protect our Great Xiongnu!"
Touman Chanyu had been extremely frustrated during this period, and now he finally saw a flaw in the defense, and he clapped his hands excitedly.
But he was, after all, an old fox from the grasslands, and after the initial excitement, he still retained a sliver of vigilance.
"What is the deployment of Qin troops on the east and west flanks?" Touman Chanyu asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, scouts have discovered that the Qin army has stationed approximately 50,000 troops each in Yunzhong County to the east and Gaoque Pass to the west," the Left Wise King reported truthfully.
Upon hearing "50,000 each on the left and right," Touman Chanyu's brows immediately furrowed.
The central section was empty, while the flanks were heavily guarded. This troop deployment made him feel uneasy.
Meng Tian was a victorious general of the Qin Dynasty. Would he leave such an obvious flaw?
"Guards! Quickly invite the immortal master over for a discussion!" Touman Chanyu dared not make the decision on his own and immediately gave the order.
Not long after.
The felt curtain outside the tent was lifted, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
Ji Dan, the "Immortal Master" of the Great Qin Dynasty, slowly walked into the main tent, escorted by a group of guards.
However, the moment Ji Dan stepped into the tent, the Xiongnu generals, who had been whispering among themselves, fell silent.
Everyone, including Touman Chanyu and the two wise kings, looked at Ji Dan with strange eyes.
The Xiongnu royal court is now known to everyone.
On these two nights, this immortal master actually "favored" two notorious shrews in the royal court at the same time in his tent!
Cuihua and Ruyu!
What were the body types of those two women?
His arms were thicker than the thighs of an ordinary general, his face was full of scars, and he could eat half a sheep in one meal!
Even the strongest wrestlers on the grasslands would give them a wide berth.
But this immortal master from the Central Plains not only took them in, but also caused a great commotion in the tent last night, with the immortal master's screams echoing through the night sky.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of an immortal, this taste... is truly unique."
"Yes, that physique! If he sat down like that, even a warhorse would break over. Yet the Immortal Master could withstand it all night long. His magical power is boundless!"
Listening to the whispers of the generals around him, which they were trying to keep quiet, and feeling their strange gazes.
Beneath the mask, Ji Dan's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were bloodshot with humiliation.
Last night was a nightmare for him!
That's fucking terrifying!
My back almost broke on the bed.
Fortunately, Prince Maodun kept his promise and did not expose his identity as a fake immortal master. Instead, he boarded the pirate ship.
Ji Dan took a deep breath, suppressing the trembling in her legs, and tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a master.
"Great Chanyu, have you summoned this immortal master? Has the battle situation at the front changed?" Ji Dan's voice was slightly unsteady.
Touman Chanyu quickly put aside his gossipy thoughts and respectfully recounted the intelligence about the Qin army's "triangular formation" and the vulnerability of its central section, and inquired about countermeasures.
Upon hearing the Qin army's plan, Ji Dan's heart skipped a beat.
Although he was only a dabbler, he had at least read military books.
This formation, with its wings extended and the center open, is clearly a huge "pocket formation"!
Meng Tian and Zhang Fan are trying to swallow the 200,000-strong Xiongnu army whole!
Ji Dan's mind raced, and she was so anxious that cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
If you rashly suggest attacking the middle lane, and you fall into an ambush and your entire army is wiped out, you will definitely lose your head.
But if he doesn't fight, what will become of his reputation as a "celestial master"?
If he could truly defeat Zhang Fan, he wouldn't have fled all the way from Japan to Xiang Liang's side, and then to this harsh and cold land beyond the Great Wall, where he lost several forces in the process.
We have to hold on for now!
"Cough cough..."
Ji Dan feigned profundity, calculated with his fingers, and frowned slightly. "Great Chanyu, this is a feint by the Qin army. It contains hidden techniques of divination and strategy. We must not act rashly."
"This immortal master needs to return to his quarters, bathe and change clothes, burn incense, cast a divination, and predict fate before he can devise a strategy to defeat the enemy!"
Having said that, without waiting for Touman Chanyu to stop him, Ji Dan, supporting his aching back, fled from the main tent as if escaping.
He returned to his own tent.
As soon as Ji Dan lifted the curtain, two thick arms were placed on his shoulders, one on each side.
"Immortal Master~ You've finally returned! I've been waiting for your guidance~"
The alluring voices of Cuihua and Ruyu rang in her ears, startling Ji Dan so much that her legs went weak and she almost knelt on the ground.
What a contrast between her voice and her figure!
"My two ladies! Stop fooling around! Something terrible has happened!"
Ji Dan broke free and recounted the Qin military intelligence he had just heard in the main tent to the two women in detail.
He knew that these two women were staunch supporters of Maodun, and at this moment, he could only rely on that man to make a decision.
After listening to Ji Dan's account, Cuihua and Ruyu exchanged a glance and put away their teasing intentions, knowing that the military situation was urgent.
"You stay here and don't go anywhere!"
Cuihua left behind a sentence, slipped out of the tent, and quickly disappeared into the wind and snow, heading straight for Maodun's tent.
……
Inside the dimly lit Crown Prince's tent.
Maodun leaned against the couch, listening to the intelligence brought back by Cuihua, his expression shifting between light and shadow in the firelight.
"50,000 troops on each flank, the center is empty..."
Maodun tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the couch, his brow furrowed. "What a cunning Meng Tian! He's clearly just waiting for my Great Xiongnu to walk right into his trap!"
If the Qin army rashly breaks through from the middle of the plain, once it penetrates deep into the plain, the Qin army's two flanks will close in, and the 200,000 Xiongnu cavalry will be ambushed from all sides and die without a burial place.
The Xiongnu are already at a disadvantage due to lack of food and clothing, and they absolutely cannot afford such a crushing defeat.
Once our forces are exhausted!
What I took over was an empty shell, offering no benefit whatsoever.
"Your Highness, how should we respond to that fake immortal master?" Cuihua asked in a low voice.
Maodun closed his eyes, frantically weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
We cannot engage in a direct decisive battle, but we absolutely cannot avoid fighting!
Since the Qin army has deployed 50,000 troops at Gaoque Pass on the west side, let's start by taking down those 50,000 men!
"Go back and tell Ji Dan!"
Maodun's voice was icy cold. "Let him tell the old man that the central area is vulnerable and is a trap. We should feign an attack on the central route to draw the Qin army's attention."
In reality, they concentrated their elite forces to launch a fierce attack on Gaoque Pass on the west side!
Cuihua asked, puzzled, "Your Highness, why is it the west side?"
Maodun sneered: "Because I want to test just how tough these 50,000 Qin soldiers really are!"
If they are easy targets, then after taking out these 50,000 men, the Qin army's ambush formation will collapse on its own!
If it's a tough nut to crack, we can retreat at any time, avoiding getting bogged down in enemy territory.
He paused for a moment.
Maodun seemed to have thought of something and continued, "There's one more crucial point. We must get that fake immortal master to propose that Yun'er (Luan Di Yun) be the commander-in-chief, leading the troops to attack Gaoque Pass!"
Cuihua was startled, but then a chill ran down her spine as she realized the prince's intention.
"Understood!" Cuihua accepted the order and quickly withdrew.
Once the camp was empty, Maodun picked up the Sunflower Manual and looked at the last page with some confusion.
There were obvious torn marks on the pages.
He murmured, "Where is this last page?"
