Chapter 914 - An Alliance Of Three Powerhouses (1/2)

Before P5092 came to the Northwest, there were really no other places left for him to go. Moreover, under the threat of force by Ren Xiaosu, he decided to join the Northwest to see if the people here were really as Ren Xiaosu had described.

Therefore, his willingness to join the Northwest was at most 30% voluntary.

At that time, P5092 considered going to jail so he could have some peace and put an end to his past with the Pyro Company before coming out to live as a normal person.

If the Northwest were not to his liking, he would return to the Pyro Company and go to jail.

But it was different now. After working with Wang Yun, P5092 suddenly felt that all his previous partners paled in comparison to him. This was a partner a military commander should have.

He clearly understood what data P5092 asked for and could immediately answer with a quick recollection when P5092 asked for a strategic position to be identified.

Working with a colleague who was so proficient at his job gave P5092 a sense of complete control over the troops.

This was a completely different kind of feeling.

In the past, whenever P5092 felt there was something wrong with the troops, he could not find the root of the problem because he was not good at spotting some details.

But now, he could grasp the entire situation very clearly.

This was the difference between writing with your toes and writing with your hand. To an outstanding commander, this was a world of difference!

P5092 and Wang Yun were considered equal status. They were both recruited by Ren Xiaosu for the Northwest, so there wasn't really any differentiation in their ranks.

The two of them got along as partners in battle command. Wang Yun was his adjutant, and the two of them quickly became best friends in private!

This was a friendship between comrades, a friendship where they trusted each other. They were more like best friends.

In contrast, the friendship that Zhang Xiaoman and Wang Yun shared, which was built upon cursing at the Great Hoodwinker together, appeared a little inferior.

All of a sudden, Zhang Xiaoman felt like he had been left out.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhang Xiaoman and asked, ”Oh yeah, where's your dad?”

Wang Yun and Ji Zi'ang looked at Ren Xiaosu in silence. No one answered him. However, Zhang Xiaoman started cursing, ”That old bastard! How dare he take advantage of me in front of the future commander!”

Ren Xiaosu was baffled. Wang Yun explained in a whisper, ”Zhang Xiaoman's father is someone else. The Great Hoodwinker was lying.”

Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. What the heck was that Great Hoodwinker trying to pull?

In the evening, the Northwest's 6th Combat Brigade packed up and advanced towards Mt. Zuoyun from Mt. Youyu. They expected to arrive within two days.

P5092's orders were for everyone to march quickly and seize the advantageous terrain of Mt. Zuoyun while the Wang Consortium was engaged in battle with the expeditionary army.

Otherwise, it would not be that easy to occupy Mt. Zuoyun once the two sides' had a temporary ceasefire.

As the 6th Combat Brigade had yet to appear on the battlefield, the expeditionary army was still unaware that the brigade was in the vicinity. The barbarians were in the open, while they operated in the shadows.

However, Ren Xiaosu looked at the map curiously and asked, ”Since Mt. Zuoyun is north of Mt. Daniu, shouldn't it be considered the rear of the expeditionary army? And it's also some distance from where the battlefield is, so why are we going there?”

”It's precisely because it's at the rear of the expeditionary army.” P5092 said firmly, ”As for why we're going there, I'll explain later.”
