Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 402 Empty City Strategy

Upon hearing that Song Yuan was so rich, Jinlian, who was standing beside him, suddenly showed some doubt on her face.

"Song Yuan, are you under too much pressure and said something wrong? The enemy's pursuers are right behind you now. You still want to rest at this critical moment. Aren't you afraid that they will catch up?"

Faced with such concerns, Song Yuan remained extremely calm. He waved his hand casually and spoke.

"What's the rush? I'd say we still have that much time! Don't forget they're cavalry, and we're also cavalry. We're not necessarily any slower than them!"

"If we really want to run, it's not too late even if we wait until we see each other. We're still far away, so why worry?"

After hearing Song Yuan's reason, Jin Lian's eyes suddenly widened. He really couldn't imagine what this bastard boy in front of him was thinking.

However, after spending such a long time together, Jinlian was particularly confident in Song Yuan's abilities.

I thought to myself, since the other party has made such arrangements, they must have planned it long ago. At this juncture, I should not say too much, so as not to affect the other party's thinking.

As long as it is something Song Yuan does, it must be correct and there shouldn't be any accidents.

For a moment, everyone obeyed Song Yuan's orders and implemented them one by one. Without saying a word, everyone rested on the spot and took out the dry food they carried from their bags.

The mood changed at this moment. Compared with the previous urgency, there was a slight sense of relaxation now. Everyone ate dry food and drank snow water.

As I looked at the mountains before me, I felt as if the grassland had a wonderful smell.

However, no one was in the mood to appreciate these things.

But in just a moment, Song Yuan received the news from the scout.

The barbarian army has now arrived, and judging by their posture, there are at least tens of thousands of people!

This news had just reached Song Yuan's ears when a vast landscape appeared where the horizon met in the distance.

I saw a huge army of barbarians, all riding on their fine horses. From the current situation, it was not difficult to see that the distance between the two sides was no more than ten miles!

Realizing the distance, Jinlian felt her heart in her throat. She felt a little anxious and couldn't help but urge them.

"The other party is already so close, shouldn't we get up immediately and get away as soon as possible?"

There was a hint of anxiety in Jinlian's pupils, but such words did not affect Song Yuan's expression at all.

"Everyone, listen to my orders. Don't panic. Let's just sit here and pretend nothing happened. Just pretend they don't exist!"

what?

Why did Song Yuan make such arrangements?

As soon as these words were spoken, Jinlian could no longer sit still and stood up with a bang.

Noticing his movements, Song Yuan's tone suddenly became much stern.

"Shut up! Sit down!"

Sensing the unquestionable tone in Song Yuan's words, Jinlian was silent for a moment, and finally chose to follow Song Yuan's words and believe the young man in front of her.

However, Song Yuan quickly adjusted his mentality, tiptoed to Song Yuan's side, and asked in a low voice.

"Tell me what you're thinking. Are you planning to fight those barbarians head-on?"

Song Yuan shook his head, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm not stupid. I told Wei Da before that he couldn't let them bother him no matter what. How could I possibly shoot myself in the foot?"

"In any case, don't worry. If I'm not mistaken, those barbarians will probably stop in their tracks soon and won't dare to move forward!"

As Song Yuan spoke, he pointed in the direction of the barbarians, and Jinlian shifted her gaze.

Under the gaze of the two, in just a moment, the enemy army's footsteps actually slowly stopped as Song Yuan said!

Seeing Song Yuan's predictions, Jinlian's eyes widened and she blurted out, "Why on earth is this happening?"

Song Yuan then explained the reason with a bit of pride: "You only think from our perspective, but you haven't thought about what our actions mean in the eyes of the barbarians!"

"Think about it. If an enemy who should have been fleeing suddenly became remarkably calm, standing right before your eyes without fleeing or making any movement, would you feel a sense of unease?"

"Are you worried that the other party is doing something tricky? Are there any ambushes around?"

"I made this arrangement precisely for this purpose. If any of the barbarian leaders had even a little common sense, they would definitely not act recklessly!"

……

Just as Jinlian widened her eyes and was secretly amazed at Song Yuan's performance.

In the distance, the generals under the command of the Right Wise King had heavy expressions on their faces.

Looking at the army that had come to a standstill on the distant hillside, General Baru couldn't help but touch his chin.

"I've brought tens of thousands of troops to this distance, and they still haven't made a single move. Judging from their intentions, they're probably trying to lure us into a trap!"

"No, there might be something fishy going on here!"

"I will hold my troops still for now and send some people to scout first!"

Baru's mind really fell into the trap set by Song Yuan, and at this moment, he behaved very cautiously.

With a serious look on his face, he immediately waved his hand and gave orders to his men behind him.

"Send two teams to scout along the hillside. Patrol the surroundings. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately. Don't act rashly!"

The small hill in the distance blocked Baru's view. In his opinion, there might be some unknown danger hidden behind the hill.

The men behind him did not say a word and quickly sent troops to go around the hillside.

Song Yuan was looking down from a high position, so he naturally noticed this action, and a hint of disdain appeared on his solemn face.

The opponent's every move has already fallen into Song Yuan's calculations at this moment. What he wants is the opponent's current reconnaissance!

Look, just watch carefully!

You are now the fish that have taken the bait!

You are destined to follow the trap I set and fall into my snare step by step!

Having said that, Song Yuan looked up at the sky around him. At this moment, it was already evening, and it wouldn't be long before the surroundings would become completely dark.

According to Song Yuan's estimation, by the time these scouts report back, night will have fallen.

In the pitch darkness all around, the other party would certainly not take the risk of launching a surprise attack in this situation.

In this way, he successfully gained a full half day by just using the empty city plan!

By the next morning, as soon as the barbarians realized what was happening, he would have already led his army away from here.

By then, even if the enemy leader regrets it, it will be too late to pursue him!
