Chapter 591: The Decisive Battle

Translated by: Hypersheep325

“If Wang Jiuling were truly this formidable, he wouldn’t be a man, but a god, and our Mengshe Zhao would never have stood a chance. So how could we have arrived at today’s battle?”

The Wang Clan was truly quite famous, and that former Prime Minister of the Great Tang was even more famous. However, Wang Chong’s words could only deceive those people who didn’t know the inside story. To formidable characters like Geluofeng, Wang Chong’s words were complete nonsense. It would be stranger if they had believed a single word.

“Damn it!”

Fengjiayi quickly realized and cursed at himself. It was all because Duke Jiu’s reputation was too inflated, with everyone talking about how virtuous and noble he was, with the entire world praising him as a sagacious minister.

Fengjiayi had fallen for this first impression and treated Wang Chong’s story as the truth.

“This despicable and cunning scoundrel!”

Geluofeng waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to get angry at him about this. When two countries fight, every method is on the table. That’s how it’s always been. The urgent task at hand is to think about how we should attack the Annan Protectorate army.”

Truthfully, if it hadn’t been so necessary to sweep over the southwest as quickly as possible and subjugate this area, Geluofeng was actually quite interested in Wang Chong. It had been a very long time since he had met such a formidable youth. Whether on the attack or the defense, he covered up every possible angle and left no flaws to exploit.

The crime of rebellion, with Geluofeng himself making the charge, truly might have made any other person fall for his trap. But Wang Chong had quickly nullified this most dangerous of political schemes. This was not something any ordinary person could do.

Putting aside his knowledge of military strategy, his attainments in the realm of politics and schemes meant that he truly wasn’t an ordinary person. This was also why Geluofeng immediately put aside any further attempts to make trouble.

“Follow me!”

With a sweep of his great robe, Geluofeng turned and strode in the direction of Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huicang. At the same time, Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huicang were leading the Tibetan generals in Geluofeng’s direction.

Although they were people of differing principles, as formidable characters of the southwest, the two of them thought on exactly the same level.

“What sort of ideas does Great Minister have?”

Geluofeng cut straight to the point with his stern question.

“This brat is difficult to handle.”

Dalun Ruozan took in a deep breath before continuing.

“The urgent task is to remove the defenses he erected on the mountain. Without those metal walls, the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Annan Protectorate won’t stand a chance against our army.”

“That’s right!”

Geluofeng also gave a long sigh.

“The Great Tang dominated the world through its infantry, and their expertise is in positional warfare and defensive battles. And the people from the Wang Clan also seemed to be experts in these aspects. In the battle of Erhai, we were able to completely rout the Annan Protectorate army, but we’re completely helpless here.”
