The old man said, "All's fair in war, strategy and deception. Xu Hao is quite intelligent, cunning to no end. If this is a trap, we'll fall right into his schemes. We've come from Miaojiang, prolonging our battle line and venturing deep into enemy territory, which is highly disadvantageous for us. One mistake could spell eternal doom."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Su Qingshan's previously exhilarating mood instantly calmed.
After a moment's thought, Su Qingshan said, "Master, you are absolutely right. I realize my mistake."
This old man was actually Su Qingshan's master!
The old man nodded slightly and said, "Then tell me, how should we handle the current situation?"
Su Qingshan pondered for a while and then said, "Lure the snake out of the hole, pincer attack, leaving Xu Hao with no escape, eventually killing him. Meanwhile, we can kill two birds with one stone."
"How do we lure the snake out?"
"We could..." Su Qingshan shared his entire plan with his master.
