C49 (1/2)

The Surging Waves River was called the mother river of the people from Moqiu. It originated from a snowy mountain in the northeastern part of the people from Moqiu and extended for two thousand kilometers before submerging into the Wulian Mountain Range. The surface of the Surging Waves River River was wide. Aside from the summer flood season, the water flow was calm most of the year. It was extremely advantageous for transportation and fishing. Furthermore, the resources on both sides of the river were plentiful, so most of the grain gathering points and towns that were initially established by the people from Moqiu were located on both sides of the river.

Wolf Drinking Town was a small town at the turn of the Surging Waves River River. The town was not big and was built on a beach that was hit by a river. Previously, there were people fishing there for a living, but the Moqiu State was bitter and cold. Over time, the fishermen who couldn't live anymore changed to become boatmen, and this Wolf Drinking Town became a transit point for wood, grain, and specialties.

Right now, the Xiu'er was sprinting all the way, Bai Wusheng and the other two were in hot pursuit, the four troops were pointing at the Wolf Drinking Town.

It was said that it was formed by the branches of the Surging Waves River during the early years of the year. The closest point to the west was less than a kilometer away from the Surging Waves River, and the eastern section gradually rose. It was an excellent place to watch the sunset while facing the river.

According to the discussion held by the Xiu'er and the others, they split the troops into two parts. Chen Chu's group went around the Sunset Ditch and headed straight to the Wolf Drinking Town, while the Xiu'er, strong man and the Fat Cui led the new set of battalion to go to the Sunset Ditch. They hoped that they could lay down a trap and use the conflict between the three groups of people to resolve the situation in front of them.

So far, the plan had worked. The middle troop led by Xu Keding had already indicated to the flaunting Fat Cui that they would enter Sunset Ditch to meet him, and after going through the Sunset Ditch, they would force their way in from the west. The Left Army and Han Zaixin continued their original route, approaching the Wolf Drinking Town from the east. The two armies attacked in a pincer formation. With such an adjustment, the most awkward part of the situation was precisely the troops on the right side led by Bai Wusheng. Originally, they were rather close to the Wolf Drinking Town, but in order to make room for their comrades to avoid the Sunset Ditch, they had already deliberately made a big detour, giving way to some advantage. If they were to be penetrated by Xu Keding now, they would definitely be squeezed behind the two teams, and could only watch the Xu and Han families surround Wolf Drinking Town.

For now, this strategy had worked.

Xu Keding symbolically gave Bai Wusheng a ”military briefing”, although it was called a briefing, it would be better to call it a notification. The full text's tone was unruly, using simple words, it did not put Bai Wusheng, who was half a level higher than himself, in its eyes at all, and simply told Bai Wusheng, ”I am going to pass through Sunset Ditch, move away!”

Bai Wusheng thought too highly of himself, and immediately sent people to beat up the scouts who sent the letter and threw them to the side of the road. Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered the entire army to speed up, and to reach Wolf Drinking Town before Xu Keding could!

A slightly calmer staff officer by her side spoke to Bai Wusheng. ”Master Bai, if you just keep accelerating, if the two armies run into each other during the march, the consequences would be unthinkable ~”

Bai Wusheng glared at him. ”If we fail to accomplish anything while being blocked by this Xu Keding, the consequences will be even worse for the four kings! ”Let go of your worries and let the entire army charge for me!”

Putting aside the open rivalry and covert fights between the three generals, Fat Cui himself was a little uncertain. He was prepared to follow the Fire Phoenix Army officers in front of him and kill them, but what about the people under his command? Previously, carrying food and snatching a farmer was not a problem, but now, he had to fight with Moqiu Army properly. Putting aside his battle prowess, just how he would pass this mental trial was already a problem.

However, the military situation was urgent, and he did not have time to think about it. Adding on to that, with strong man's sharp gaze, who was on the verge of shooting a knife, Fat Cui forced himself to stand on top of the stone table, and announced the battle plan for the thousand over new generation battalion soldiers below the stage.

After he finished speaking, the soldiers all fell into silence, and sweat immediately flowed down from Fat Cui's forehead. He wanted to turn around and look at strong man with a bit of panic, but before he could turn his head, the red cloaked Xiu'er had already walked forward, and shouted towards the crowd with a stern expression: ”If we win this battle, we will enter Wolf Drinking Town rank 1 and rob for three days!”

The moment he said this, the soldiers below the stage burst into cheers.

Xiu'er expressionlessly took a few steps back and stood by strong man's side once more. strong man said in a low voice, ”Lord Xiu, your move is really ruthless. Wolf Drinking Town is a middle transition area, and the gold and silver inside must be plenty, I'm afraid. ”

Xiu'er lowered her head, not daring to look at him. ”Since they dare to rebel, then of course we have to give them some benefits. Otherwise, who would be willing to fight alongside us?” As she spoke in a low voice, she repeatedly rubbed her palms together until the piece of paper had turned to pulp.

This was what Chen Chu had given to her when they were separated. At that time, Chen Chu's expression was very meaningful: ”Lord Xiu, although there are Wulian Border Army restraints on the traitors, they will inevitably change during battle. If the Fat Cui can't handle it, you can just throw it out. It will definitely be useful. ”

After Xiu'er read the slip of paper, she frowned and asked: ”Is that really okay?”

Chen Chu smiled lightly, ”In this world, fame and fortune is everything. Since they had already abandoned their reputations, they naturally wanted to reap even more benefits. After all, we are being generous, so why not be a bit more generous? ” After saying that, Chen Chu bowed to the Xiu'er, mounted his horse and left.

Xiu'er looked at Chen Chu's back speechlessly. What she said was inappropriate, they were killing and looting. Chen Chu's words were generous, but they were all based on gold and silver. He really didn't know if this person was deliberately confusing the concept, or if he didn't think of this at all.

However, he had to admit that Chen Chu's words had reached the heart of the new generation battalion soldier, and his note had played a crucial role. To plunder Wolf Drinking Town for three days, as long as their luck was good, then this time, it would be worth half their lifetime's income!

It was almost dusk when Xu Keding's vanguard team and the Fat Cui met on the east side of Sunset Ditch. The leader of the hundred man team did not even dismount, he looked at Fat Cui and the ten people behind him with contempt, ”General Xu, the army is about to arrive, what are your people doing?”

Fat Cui immediately bowed and saluted. ”Reporting to Sir, my subordinates were all strong and strong men who were robbed and came here. I was already tired and hungry before, and was also afraid, so I arranged for them to rest in the ditch.”

The centurion nodded his head, ”Alright, let your men stay here. After the army passes, don't disturb them!”

”Yes!” ”As your excellency commands!” Fat Cui bowed repeatedly, then instructed the few people beside him to return and pass down the orders.
