As the sky darkened, Shen Hao asked someone to move the small table into the study. The food and wine on the table were replaced again, including fish in sour soup, spicy chicken, and newly fried beans to go with wine.
As soon as the door was closed, Shen Hao and Nie Yun began to continue eating, drinking and chatting. Nie Yun was still talking, and Shen Hao just listened carefully most of the time.
"Unlike the system of the Jingjiu Dynasty, sects do not have a commander in the strict sense. Although Wanjuanshu Mountain and Mingshan Sect are the only two super sects, they are still far away from commanding all sects. .So when various sects encounter problems, they usually stick together in their respective regions, and then act individually based on the general intelligence.
Currently, there are six sects that have joined forces with our Guishan Monastery, including three second-rate and three third-rate sects. We will follow our lead.
I am the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, and this kind of thing should not be under my control. However, the sect leader recently asked for advice, and he probably also had the intention of taking the exam. The old man, Master, stood tall and didn't say anything, so I had no choice but to get through. But I'm not good at this kind of thing, so I asked you to help me make an idea. "
After Nie Yun finished speaking, he quickly scooped up a bowl of fish fillets in sour soup for himself. If he didn't, there would be nothing left in the basin.
Shen Hao clicked his lips a few times and did not go to grab the fish with Nie Yun. He had already eaten two bowls while Nie Yun was talking. This fish has no thorns, it is tender and easy to eat, and it is also very easy to taste. Coupled with Li Erfu's craftsmanship, it is easy to lose your mouth once you eat it.
Now it was Nie Yun's turn to eat, and Shen Hao poured himself a glass of wine.
"What is your purpose? In other words, once the war breaks out in the south, what will you mainly do?"
"They are just like soldiers. The only difference is that the enemies are the barbarian monks. We fight in battle formations. You and I fight each other. If you win, you can help your respective army quickly defeat the enemy. If you lose, you will be implicated. The military formation was damaged. I did not participate in the last battle with the barbarians. I heard that more than 80 monks were killed in our Guishan Monastery alone. One of the elders almost died."
This... Shen Hao was secretly stunned. The elders of Guishan Monastery were all monks in the Xuanhai Realm. They were almost killed in a battle. The intensity was much higher than Shen Hao imagined.
"Generally, analysis requires intelligence as support. How did you get the intelligence on the barbarians now?"
"The Jingjiu Dynasty will inform you, and then we can collect the rest by ourselves after we get to the south." After eating a bowl of fish in sour soup, Nie Yun found that the red and spicy chicken diced chicken on the side seemed to be more suitable for him.
"Collect now after going there? Didn't you think of setting up some informants in advance in the barbarian realm?" Shen Hao was a little unbelievable. The old Jing Dynasty even knew how to let the Slave Chamber of Commerce wreak havoc on the barbarian territory and act as an informant. These sects, on the other hand, had their eyes darkened and didn't take it seriously at all. What kind of analysis is this?
"Does this mean that you are going to head into the barbarian territory with your head covered?"
"Reckless? That's not a pleasant statement. But that's pretty much it." Nie Yun was a little embarrassed by what he said, but that was the fact.
Fights among monks were common, but fighting was not common, let alone such a nationwide fight. Just like what Nie Yun told Shen Hao before on Changba Peak, although the people in the sect have more fighting experience than casual cultivators, they are novices in life and death fighting. The more they rely on the sect, the rarer they are. Such an experience. That's why big factions are interested in some dangerous places and ancient ruins. Obtaining resources is secondary. The most important thing is to train some backbone forces who have been tempered by life and death.
"Now the situation in the south has just begun to change. Zuo Yuliang, the chief military officer in the south, only made three forward expeditions to withstand the pincer offensive created by the barbarians. It will take time for both us and the barbarians to be ready. You are so Are you anxious?" Shen Hao hadn't noticed before that the people in the sect seemed to be interested in fighting. Nan Mian hadn't yet made a decision, so he was hurriedly thinking of countermeasures.
Nie Yun made Shen Hao speechless with just one sentence: "It's such a rare opportunity!"
It is estimated that for the sect, experiencing such a big battle is indeed a great opportunity to train the younger generations. Not to mention militants like Nie Yun.
When asked for advice, Shen Hao couldn't refuse. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The current situation is unclear. No one can even be sure whether there will be a fight or when. So it's best for you to wait and see in the near future. At the same time, find some people who know military strategy to help you plan, so as not to be blinded by time."
"Someone who understands military strategy?" Nie Yun pondered for a moment before nodding: "You mean to analyze the trends of the barbarian monks based on military strategy, and then adopt corresponding strategies to deal with it?"
After all, he is a smart person, and he can tell with just one point. But Shen Hao also added: "Not only that, in fact, your sect's actions can also refer to the military methods. Fight less alone and do more "ambushes", "raids", "night raids", etc. By amplifying one's own advantages and attacking the enemy's weaknesses, one can achieve a greater killing effect while reducing one's own damage."
There are not many people who are familiar with the methods of the military and the methods of the sect at the same time, but you can find them if you look for them. These suggestions from Shen Hao made Nie Yun smile, secretly thinking that he had found the right one.
"Come and take one!" Nie Yun put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up the wine, touched it with Shen Hao and drank it down in one gulp. This was considered a thank you.
After eating for a while, the dishes on the small table were finished, and the two of them continued to drink. All we talked about were spiritual matters. Compared with Shen Hao, Nie Yun's experience is almost as high as a mountain. He can point out some of Shen Hao's wrong practice habits in a few words.
For example, Shen Hao likes to use the newly trained qi to supplement his foundation while practicing qi, mainly because he wants to save time. But Nie Yun told him that subsidizing the foundation in this way would easily cause the foundation to be inflated. It would not be obvious at ordinary times, but would be exposed once a breakthrough in a big realm was reached, causing people to fall short. The best way is to warm and nourish the Qi obtained from Qi training in the meridians for several days to make it warmer and more adaptable, and then use it to supplement the foundation, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
That's the benefit of having someone to point you to.
Even after the two got excited, they went to the backyard to "discuss". In fact, it was Nie Yun who was giving guidance to Shen Hao.
It was already the beginning of the year when the two returned to the study again. Shen Hao was sweating, but Nie Yun was so fresh that it was impossible to tell that he had moved just now.
"You are doing well now. You are just an official of a hundred households, and your rank is only fifth grade. You are actually protected by a master of the Yuan Dan realm. It seems that your Xuanqing Guards attach great importance to you."
While drinking tea, Nie Yun suddenly said this out of nowhere.
"What? Protecting me secretly? Me?" Shen Hao was stunned, looked around, and then said uncertainly: "Brother Nie, please be more clear."
"Yo? You don't know? Just now when you and I were sparring in the backyard, three senses came over, and the closest ones were less than twenty feet away. Later, they avoided contact with my senses, but they still didn't stay away. It seems that they should be there protect you."
