Chapter 747: Chapter 583: The Temple Predicts from a Thousand Miles Away + Chapter 584: Tiger Vanguard and Lion Guardian

"It’s all because my cultivation is insufficient and I couldn’t undertake the heavy responsibility, losing the initiative, which made it necessary for my husband to personally rush to all places."

Green Lady looked somewhat downcast, and her eyes were full of longing: "Otherwise, this time, let me accompany my husband by your side and break through Three Mountains Pass."

Zhou Ping’an shook his head: "South of Golden River, Qing’er, you need to keep a close watch. If the Northern Army moves southward, you must obstruct them for a few days at the least. Failing that, at least cause them enough trouble to prevent them from attacking with peace of mind."

It must be said, Brahma Temple’s move hit right where it hurt the most.

It’s also unknown whether the strategist is Old Monk Xuanming or someone else behind the scenes?

Those monks who usually meditate and strive for the enlightenment of all beings didn’t show off their abilities at all. As soon as they saw the situation turning bad, they allied with all parties.

From the beginning, they never planned to face me alone.

Should I say they’re cowardly? Or should I praise them for their wise and thoughtful vision, with a view for the long-term future?

Zhou Ping’an, seeing the doubt still present in Green Lady’s eyes, asked with a smile, "Do you want to ask me why I’m not heading towards Yuquan City in Nanping County, and instead directly going for Three Mountains Pass?"

"Indeed, if one reasons it out, Three Mountains Pass is guarded by Master Bai He with troops, and it’s accompanied by various experts from Cloud Water Sect. It’s not difficult to break through and capture it.

On the other hand, at Yuquan Pass, Tang Lin’er currently lacks cultivation and prestige, and there are also the esteemed masters from Tang Family of Golden River..."

At this point, Green Lady stopped speaking.

If she continued, it could seem disrespectful to the Tang Family, and the last thing she wanted was for her husband to feel as if she was trying to stir up trouble between him and the Tang Family...

Especially since Tang Wan was about to marry into the family next month, some things are better left unsaid. Saying too much would come off as jealous, seemingly unwilling to let Tang Wan have an easy time.

Zhou Ping’an saw through her roundabout thoughts at a glance.

He smiled warmly and gently stroked Green Lady’s hair, signaling her not to worry too much.

"It’s quite normal for the Tang Family not to fully commit. It’s understandable for anyone who becomes the head of a family to not be willing to give in when they are pressured to submit and offer a daughter in marriage.

Even without any thoughts of reneging, expecting them to put their lives on the line for the Ping’an Army to win a vast territory is quite unrealistic.

Regarding the troops at Yuquan Pass, I never thought about resolving the battle swiftly...

War Buddha Temple, a sub-temple of Fantian, has many experts and tremendous combat power. There’s no expectation for the Elders and Administrators from the Tang Family to charge ahead.

Therefore, as long this force can advance slowly, achieving even a little in battle, it would already be quite impressive."

Zhou Ping’an spelled things out to help Green Lady understand where the strategic focus of the next step truly lies.

Her Azure Scale Cavalry is in charge of disseminating information and probing for secret intelligence...

If she makes a judgment error resulting in the Ping’an Army being trapped on two fronts, the battle would become difficult to fight.

"The purpose of Old Monk Xuanming stirring up trouble in Jinhe County is actually quite understandable. He knows my abilities very well, and is aware that these little tricks are useless against me, yet he still uses them persistently.

He intends to restrain me while also miring the two advancing armies towards Chitong and Nanping in quagmire...

If we judge incorrectly and the Northern Garrison moves south, then what should we do? Withdraw to meet the enemy, or continue to march stubbornly without considering the safety of the cities in our rear?"

This is a conundrum.

The more Green Lady listened, the brighter her eyes shone, and she responded: "In this way, to achieve the purpose of multi-faceted containment, Monk Xuan Ming only needs to block our strongest troops.

Therefore, his most likely action will be to rescue Three Mountains Pass."

Having said this, Green Lady almost completely understood Brahma Temple’s strategy.

"Yuquan City is mired in a drawn-out battle with no quick victory. Facing a powerful enemy at Three Mountains Pass would lead to heavy losses, leaving the army no choice but to halt its advance.

Meanwhile, my husband, due to the continuous harassment by Phoenix Platform Tiji cavalry, out of caution, cannot travel far and must stay in Golden River.

Consequently, all the armies are immobilized and trapped, and once the hundred-thousand Northern Garrison moves south, we would be caught like fish in a barrel. Such clever machinations, such brilliant strategy..."

Some schemes seem enshrouded in layers of fog before they are seen through.

Oftentimes, after the event is over and upon retrospection, it all seems incredibly simple.

Even an ordinary person with a slight understanding of commanding troops can explain it perfectly.

But who really knows that being caught in the middle, a single misstep could mean falling into an inescapable abyss.

"That Monk Xuanming believes he has calculated that I dare not leave Golden River lightly, to prevent the southern three counties and thirty-one counties from being attacked.

But what he completely fails to anticipate is that, with all of your significant advancements in strength, each able to hold down a region even if facing a True Martial Late Stage Dharma expert, it’s still possible to hold the fort for a while.

Since he has miscalculated, then it’s his time to die."

Zhou Ping’an’s comments were not an exaggeration.

Just take Green Lady, who had just broken through to the True Martial Realm and honed the Real Form of her Seven-stringed Zither to the stage of Condensing Void into Reality... With some more time, she could firmly hold her position in the True Martial Refining Shape Realization Realm.

That would be the true Mid-stage True Martial.

With the troublesome nature of her Oblivion Melody, especially when supported by the vast and pure Soul Power cultivated from the Heart Sutra of Vast Cold, this Sound Attack technique becomes even more bizarre and unstoppable.

Letting her loose, focusing solely on her actions.

Ordinary tens of thousands of troops under the sound of the zither would find it difficult to advance an inch.

This scenario might well occur.

The Imperial Court sends tens of thousands of troops swarming forward.

Green Lady sits atop the city tower playing a tune.

Then, as if a concert has begun, no one bothers with sieging or plundering anymore; they all become spectators.
