Zhang Zhen looked at Lin Shanhe, bewildered, and said,
"Brother, is this brat calculating us again?"
He then turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Zhan'er, you've gone a bit too far this time. You played too big, and almost crippled your old man."
Lin Zhan quickly chuckled and said, "Second Grandfather, Uncle Xiang, both of my dads and moms, please sit down first and let me explain."
He then took out another jar of century-old vintage from blood ginseng, turned to the four youngsters barbecuing in the garden, and shouted,
"Xiao Hei, bring two drops of Xuan Shui Zhen Blood. My two dads are almost dead, they need to recover. And bring some more barbecue."
Xiao Hei quickly squeezed out two drops of Xuan Shui Zhen Blood, flicked them into the wine jar, and then brought over a large platter of barbecue weighing over 20 catties, saying,
"Oh my, my two dads, how did they end up like this? Eat more quickly, this is a Platinum-grade Great Horned Yak slaughtered this morning."
Zhang Zhen looked at Xiao Hei, bewildered, and said, "Zhan'er, why isn't this turtle walking on two legs according to the plan?"
Xiao Hei responded, "Dad Zhen, what is personality? This is personality."
Lin Shanhe patted Zhang Zhen and said,
"Alright, Brother, stop studying that little turtle for now. Those few brats are all like Zhan'er, full of wicked ideas. They can scheme against you without even drafting."
Zhang Lingxiu stood up, poured a bowl of wine for each of them, and then sat obediently beside Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan looked at their curious expressions and began to speak,
"It is said that since Pangu separated heaven and earth, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to today..."
"Get to the point, will you!" Lin Wu Fa gave Lin Zhan a rap on the head and said irritably.
"Oh, then let's get back to business," Lin Zhan began to explain his plan.
"Dad Zhen, Dad, have there been any changes in the training of the Ten Thousand Races Allied Army in the past few days?"
Zhang Zhen thought carefully and said, "There have indeed been some changes. They have started training cavalry and heavy assault troops, and have begun researching siege weapons."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "That's right. I intended for them to do so. You all know that Old Ye the Second visited me last time, right?"
Seeing them nod, Lin Zhan continued,
"Last time, the old ancestors dug a big pit for them, making Ye Lao Er think I wouldn't wake up for at least half a year. In such a situation, they would definitely lack training. And you know all their combat tactics. If it were you, what would you do?"
Lin Shanhe pondered and said, "Directly use troop superiority and individual soldier's physical prowess to launch a surprise attack, tear through the human defense line, and slaughter the human fighting force through melee."
Lin Zhan nodded, thinking that his old man still had some skills:
"Exactly, that's what I want him to think. I'm telling you, this Rommel, this good-for-nothing, must be inside the Ten Thousand Races Plane right now, secretly training assault legions. And not just one. If I'm not mistaken, there should be cavalry, heavy assault infantry, and rapid reaction assault troops. These three legions."
"I also tell you, I have also formed secret legions. His little tricks are just sending him heads. When the real battle begins, I'll scare him to death."
Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Zhan'er is right. A lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. This personality is like Rommel's, always wanting more. But what does this have to do with me scheming against you?"
"How is it not related? I've been acting like an idiot for days to trick him. What's a little hardship for you guys?" Lin Zhan said, rolling his eyes.
"Now I'll spread rumors outside that the eldest son of the Lin family is crippled and cannot manage the family, and that Lin Shanhe brought the third wife to the military camp to have a son, causing great grief to Madam Lin, who then used the Ouyang family's influence to arrest them in the military camp."
"If you received such news under the same circumstances, what would you think? Wouldn't you immediately use all means to investigate the truth of the matter, and then find the next commander to investigate him, analyze his combat style, and figure out how to defeat him?"
"Lingxiu has already spread the word, letting Jiang Zheng take charge of the army and Zhang Haoming marry into the family to succeed the Lin family. And you, Lin Shanhe, not wanting the Lin family's foundation to fall into the hands of outsiders, resorted to this desperate measure against your wife's wishes."
"This can also indirectly prove that I, Lin Zhan, am indeed crippled. Moreover, Leng Shan, Zhang Cong, and Ying Xuan are now each leading their own elite legions for training. Rommel will have to consider who will be chosen as the next commander from among them."
"Leng Shan, the Leng family dog pack, represents numbers. Zhang Cong, the Shui Gui Zhang family, has formidable combat power with the Gonggong totem. Ying Xuan, the Da Qin Ying family, with their Rui Shi leading the way, neat formations, and invincible battle arrays."
"So, without having fought against these three individuals, Rommel can only prepare based on the styles and characteristics of these three families. This can only be: numerical superiority, individual soldier quality superiority, lightning warfare, rapid surprise attacks, and mobilizing top experts for decapitation strikes and targeted assassinations of our grassroots commanders."
Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe fell into thought after listening:
"But this is indeed a weakness of our human race, and it's not easy to make up for. Also, the aerial attack last time, we achieved very good results. But this time, you still insist on gradual aerial attacks. If you want to achieve the same results as last time, it won't be that easy."
"Rommel has already suffered from aerial attacks last time. This time he will definitely focus on air defense. So, if we want to mobilize the Wind God Winged Dragon Knights for aerial attacks like last time, we will have to destroy their aerial defense forces first."
"I have already made two plans for this. It's a good opportunity to spread the news that you were severely injured by Madam, and stay in the rear to recuperate, so that you can work with me to test new weapons. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have any other excuse to get you back."
It turned out that everything was orchestrated by Lin Zhan.
After Lin Zhan woke up, he told the young Taoist Zhang Haoming. Zhang Haoming had control of six teams of Lin family dead soldiers, along with supporting information, scouts, and hidden agents, all of which were handed over to Zhang Haoming.
Originally, the Qian family's weapon research team was going to test the practical data of new combat armor and weapons, but after Lin Zhan found out, he used the past relationship between Qian Miaomiao and Qian Lanlan with Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe to stage this play.
The first purpose was to confirm that the selection of the current commander would be from Ying Xuan, Leng Shan, and Zhang Cong.
Second, it was because Lin Zhan could not recover for a while, and thus would not cause trouble for Rommel and the Ten Thousand Races Allied Army.
Third, it was to take the opportunity to bring Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe back, preparing them to be responsible for assembling new weapon legions.
Lin Zhan used this opportunity to directly set a chain trap for Rommel, digging a pit within a pit.
From the root, he misled Rommel's judgment.
