Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 299 The only chance

While Song Yuan was secretly calculating, in the camp where the barbarians were.

Looking at the spy who had returned safely, the eyes of the high priest Bulma and the eldest prince Tubile became more attentive and deep.

Their original intention was to paralyze Song Yuan, and they never expected to be able to find out any useful information with the help of these two or three people.

However, through Song Yuan's actions, the high priest still saw some clues.

At this moment, after hesitating for a moment, he immediately opened his mouth to explain to Tubili beside him: "Your Highness, I think this matter may be an opportunity for us! Do you think that the reaction from the Great Qin is a bit too extreme?"

"Our people had just crossed the Peacock River, and they were immediately discovered by the enemy. What does this mean?"

"I can only say that Song Yuan has been on guard against us. Perhaps he's afraid that we'll cross the Peacock River and launch a surprise attack!"

"That's right!"

Tu Bi Lie nodded and agreed: "Rather than being on guard, this guy is clearly planning to make a big fuss about this matter. If I'm not mistaken, he must be eager for us to cross the river and launch a surprise attack!"

"The news brought by those who came back earlier is particularly interesting. Song Yuan specially prepared a cave to hide his soldiers in order to prevent us from getting in. He thought we couldn't see it, but little did he know that the so-called land of divine punishment has long been unobstructed!"

"Now that we know this kid's strength, we can't take his bait no matter what!"

"I guess he's trying to lure the enemy deeper into our territory and lure us across the Peacock River. If we really do that, I'm afraid we'll suffer at the hands of this brat again!"

Through a series of lessons, Tublai Khan has become much more cautious than before.

Bulma, who was standing by, nodded seriously after hearing this.

"What the eldest prince said is absolutely true. However, this is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of it and paralyze Song Yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Tublai Khan clenched his fists tightly, a look of excitement appeared on his face, and he murmured.

"No matter how much that kid planned, he probably couldn't have predicted that the Divine Punishment Land, which used to be so terrifying, has long lost its former glory!"

"He thought those who had fled would surely die in the land of divine punishment. Little did he know that this time, with the divine blessing, those people had successfully returned and brought us such important news!"

The eldest prince became more and more excited as he spoke. In the end, he looked at Bulma with an eager look in his eyes and made a proposal immediately.

"High Priest, I think this is definitely an opportunity. Song Yuan has been guarding the direction of the Peacock River. If we can pass through the Land of Divine Punishment, go around behind him, and directly attack Piaoxue City and Mohai City, we can definitely catch him off guard!"

Faced with the eldest prince's statement, the high priest Bulma frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then began to analyze.

"That's true, but even if what we see right now doesn't pose any disadvantages to us, I still think we should be more cautious about this matter!"

"High Priest, are you afraid that this is another evil plot of Song Yuan?" Hearing this, Tublai Khan immediately understood what the high priest meant.

If it were before, he would just think that the high priest lacked courage.

But since he was truly defeated by Song Yuan last time, Tublai finally understood that Song Yuan, that kid, had endless ways to scheme against people.

We should indeed be cautious, no matter how weak we are.

However, after a moment of silence, the eldest prince couldn't help but shook his head.

You know, even the barbarians knew about the existence of the Land of Divine Punishment, but they never thought of taking this route!

The land of divine punishment is indeed very famous. No matter in the Qin Dynasty or among the barbarians, everyone is terrified when talking about it.

Even the warriors of the barbarians dared not approach, so how could the Qin Dynasty have the courage to explore the place in advance?

What's more, the news that Song Yuan built a cave to hide soldiers was a secret.

If Song Yuan really knew the details of the Land of Divine Punishment, how could he allow his men to escape from there?

After much thought, Tublai Khan felt that this matter had great potential.

"High Priest, I think this is definitely an opportunity to redeem ourselves from our past shame. We can't give up!"

"I'm not worried about Song Yuan!"

Sensing Tublaik's concern, the high priest shook his head and said, "What I'm really worried about is the danger posed by the Land of Divine Punishment!"

"You know, this damn place has killed countless people before. Even you and I have confirmed it with our own eyes. Now, this strange place has suddenly become safe. Although it is true that those people have returned, I think we need to confirm it again!"

"Otherwise, if we lead a large army deep into it and the Land of Divine Punishment shows its power again, wouldn't that mean we'll die in vain?"

"We should send someone to conduct an investigation first to make sure it's safe. It won't be too late to make plans then!"

After all, the Land of God's Punishment is very famous.

Even the high priest would not dare to be careless in this matter.

Although there are a few people who are lucky enough to pass through the Land of Divine Punishment, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe there.

Ever since his last defeat at the hands of Song Yuan, the high priest has undoubtedly become much more cautious than before.

Upon hearing this analysis, Tublai Khan immediately nodded in agreement.

It is true that the barbarians today can no longer afford greater losses!

In the previous two battles, the barbarians suffered heavy casualties and even recruited a group of young and strong men from the tribe.

If he suffered heavy casualties again this time, even a prince of his status might not be able to withstand the wrath of the tribe.

More importantly, the successive disastrous defeats have to some extent dampened everyone's morale.

Especially since Song Yuan had cheated him of three thousand war horses last time, many of his subordinates had begun to doubt him as a general.

Even such news reached the Khan's ears, and even though Tublai Khan was the Khan's biological son, he was almost punished because of the Khan's anger.

In order to prevent things from getting worse, even if the eldest prince has a fierce heart, he must be cautious this time.

Once deployed, make sure to kill with one strike.

Otherwise, the eldest prince might not have a second chance!

If he suffered another crushing defeat at the hands of Song Yuan, the eldest prince had no doubt that given the Khan's temper, he would definitely be replaced immediately.

He has worked hard to get to his current position. If he is replaced due to temporary disadvantages, even his competition for the position of Khan will be affected.

How can we continue to be so presumptuous when one move can affect the whole body?

"The High Priest is absolutely right. The Land of Divine Punishment is truly extraordinary. Facing such a strange place, we must be extremely cautious!"

After thinking about it, Tublai nodded immediately and agreed with Bulma's statement.

But Bulma immediately ordered, "Your Highness, I think we can recruit some people from the tribe this time. They don't need to be too many, and their physical fitness doesn't need to be too high. Their only purpose is to die!"

"When the time comes, we'll send these people into the Land of Divine Punishment in batches. We'll test it multiple times. If there's really no danger, we can proceed to the next step!"

"The high priest's idea is good. We can recruit tribal warriors on a small scale and don't have to worry about food loss!" Upon hearing this suggestion, Tublai Khan nodded immediately.

"High Priest, please wait a moment. I will pass on the order and have it carried out accordingly!"

It was just Tublai, but just as he turned around, Buma called him down: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that outsiders may not be able to take responsibility for this matter. Let me take action myself!"

"Even you and I are extremely wary of the Land of Divine Punishment. If we rashly issue an order now, how do you think those tribal warriors will be willing to go deep into it?"

"Only if I personally step in and boost their morale, and then ask you to supervise the battle on the spot, I'm afraid I can make them do as I say!"

Bulma took this plan very seriously.

I made up my mind in my heart that I must take this opportunity to avenge my previous shame and completely wash away the humiliation I had suffered.

Seeing that he was dissatisfied with the responsible person, the eldest prince immediately nodded in agreement: "Since the Imperial Master is willing to personally take action, then I will wait for your good news!"

Bulma turned around and immediately ordered, "Your Highness, I don't know how long this trip will take. We can't let our guard down on the battlefield!"

"In order to lay the foundation for future plans, our spies must show up from time to time!"

"Only in this way can we mislead Song Yuan and make them think that we want to attack head-on. If necessary, even deliberately sacrificing a few people may not be a bad idea!"

At this point, Bulma's face showed a hint of ruthlessness. In order to win, he would do anything at this moment.

"Besides that, we must also strengthen our defenses to prevent Song Yuan from taking advantage of his mistakes. If he launches a surprise attack, we will suffer more than we gain!"

Faced with Bulma's serious statement, Tublai Khan nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, High Priest. After the loss I suffered last time, I now know what to do!"

"Okay, then I'll go ahead!"

Seeing that the eldest prince was undoubtedly much quieter than his previous impulsiveness, Bulma finally felt relieved, left after saying a few words.

Walking out of the tent, Bulma couldn't help but look up at the sky and secretly clenched her fists.

I murmured in my heart.

I must succeed this time!

Bulma believed in her heart that no matter how much Song Yuan planned, he would never have thought that the land of divine punishment would now be accessible.

This time, the barbarians are not fighting against people, but against the sky!

Whether or not you can pass through the Land of Divine Punishment depends entirely on whether or not God will show favor to you this time.

If it really works, it will definitely be a blessing from God!

This sneak attack from the rear will definitely make Song Yuan suffer a great loss. With such a loss, Song Yuan will definitely be of no use in the future!

At the same time, with this victory, the morale that has been suppressed for a long time will surely be boosted again.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the only opportunity Bulma can see!

If we can win, everyone will survive!

If I lose... I'm afraid I'll be doomed forever!

……

Just as the barbarians were extremely nervous.

Song Yuan, however, was exceptionally relaxed.

However, except for Song Yuan, everyone in the military camp was busy.

Situ Jing, in particular, was extremely nervous when faced with the sudden appearance of the barbarian spies.

The truth is that the two previous victories came too easily. No one would believe that the barbarians would not retaliate.

No one dares to take it lightly when they know that the other party may pose a threat.

Especially on the front battlefield, everyone is particularly clear about it.

The biggest reason why Song Yuan was able to report victory repeatedly in the past was because of sneak attacks.

If it really was a frontal battlefield and the two strong forces met, based on the people under Song Yuan and their personnel quality, they would definitely not be a match for the barbarians!

In addition, after following Song Yuan for a long time, everyone has picked up Song Yuan's bad habits.

I like to look at the damage ratio for everything.

Even Situ Jing has become a different person now. He thinks that if there are too many casualties, wouldn't that mean defeat?

After several busy days, Situ Jing finally returned to the mansion with a weak look on his face.

As a result, as soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw Song Yuan in the courtyard, leaning on a recliner like a big boss, with a maid beside him fanning herself leisurely.

I'm busy all the time, is it appropriate for you to enjoy yourself like this?

Situ Jing's face suddenly darkened, but before she could get angry, Song Yuan suddenly waved his hand.

"My dear, come quickly, I have good news for you!"

Upon hearing this, Situ Jing quickly walked over to Song Yuan and asked curiously, "Tell me, have you guessed what the barbarians are going to do this time?"

Situ Jing is now in a state of tension, and the only thing on his mind is the movements of the barbarians.

Song Yuan naturally saw what he was thinking, and now he spoke deliberately just to calm his mood.

"What are the movements of the barbarians? Would I ask such a boring question?"

"The good news I want to tell you is that when I sent my men to build a military camp, I accidentally discovered a natural hot spring!"

"In two days, I'll take you to the hot springs. We can even have a barbecue outdoors. It's so refreshing to soak in the hot springs in the snow!"

Song Yuan pretended to be excited, and as expected, such words immediately made Situ Jing's veins bulge.

Situ Jing stomped her feet in annoyance and yelled at Song Yuan.

"Song Yuan, you're going to die!"
