Chapter 318 A Huge Gamble

"No, it's too dangerous."

Yan Lang rejected his decision without a second thought. There were only a total of two hundred guards. Even if each of them was highly skilled in martial arts and possessed special abilities, the hundreds of thousands of Western Hu troops were no pushovers. If their leader or Khan was so easy to assassinate, someone would have already done it. How could they have gotten there? Right now, they all relied on Wei Chengyi. If anything happened to him, what would they do?

Compared to Yan Lang's excitement, Qingying seemed much calmer. As the commander of the guards, no one knew the strength of his second master and the guards better than him. Since he proposed it, he must be sure of it. If the second master insisted, he would not mind taking a gamble with him, but the prerequisite was that the second master must take him with him.

"I agree!"

Shen Xiangwan's voice rang out again. Facing the gazes of several people, she walked straight to Wei Chengyi and sat down. She raised her head and met Yan Lang's eyes full of disapproval. "Uncle Yan, when we decided to overthrow the dog emperor, our lives were destined to be one huge gamble after another. Chengyi's idea may be a little crazy, but it is also a gamble. If we win, we can not only end this battle in the shortest time, but also seize more war horses, enrich our military strength, and train more cavalry. Next year, if the Western Hu people dare to invade again, we will not be as passive as we are now. We will have the strength to fight them hard. If we lose the gamble, the worst that can happen is to start all over again. We are still young and have plenty of opportunities. Of course, I know you are more worried that Chengyi will be in danger. You can rest assured about this. Even if the assassination fails, with their martial arts, they still have the strength to escape."

Although she had been in the back tent before, she still heard every word of their conversation. She believed in Wei Chengyi and the guards. Moreover, Wei Chengyi could enter and exit the space at will. If it was really a crisis, the worst thing she could do was take all the guards into the space, and she would help them out here. However, that was a bad idea. There were too many secrets in the space. If possible, she didn't want too many people to know the specialness of the space.

"I also think this is a rare opportunity. The fact that King Quliang and his men suffered such a great loss yet are still stationed thirty miles outside the city without moving shows that the Western Hu people are arrogant and look down on us. They probably wouldn't dream that we would dare to send people deep into the grassland to assassinate them. They should be completely unprepared. Our chances of success are very high. Once the leader of the Western Hu reinforcements or the Khan dies, they will inevitably cause internal strife and will not be able to break through again in the short term. We can also use this opportunity to train our cavalry. However, in order to have more cavalry, we must also do our best to swallow up those Western Hu people outside."

Qingying, who had remained silent the whole time, followed up by saying that he believed in the strength of the Second Master and the abilities of the guards. They would definitely be able to do it. However, he was worried about the three counties. If they did not eat up all the Western Hu people, it would be difficult for their cavalry to develop quickly. If the Western Hu people attacked again next year or in a few months, they would still be in a passive position, and there would be no way to use the same tricks to force back the Western Hu army, because they would definitely be prepared!

Looking back and forth at them, Yan Lang lowered his eyes and took a few deep breaths. After a long while, he raised his head again and said, "Okay, since you all agree, then I have no objection. I will summon all the generals to discuss how to eat those Western Hu people outside. Cheng Yi, when do you plan to set off?"

Isn't it just gambling? He just risked his life to gamble with them. At worst, as Wanwan said, he could just start over.

Wei Chengyi didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Shen Xiangwan. After staring at her deeply for a while, he held her hand and said, "Of course, the sooner the better. I'll gather all the guards. It will probably only take a day, and we must set off in two days at the latest."

Speed is of the essence in war. No one knows whether the reinforcements of the Western Hu people have gathered. Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to drag it out.

"Okay, I'll send someone to notify General Wang and the others."

Nodding, Yan Lang stood up and left. Before Wei Chengyi left, they had to discuss how to take down those Western Hu people outside. It would not be an easy task for either side. This time, they were really taking a crazy gamble!

"Second Master, I..."

"Qingying, you stay here. We need you to wipe out those Western Hu people outside!"

As if anticipating what he was going to say, Wei Chengyi spoke first. He had known long ago that he was more suitable to be a general commanding thousands of troops than to be the commander of his personal guards. This was one of the reasons why he had kept him in the barracks for the past few months. Moreover, with him personally in charge of Dafeng County, apart from him, only Qingying and General Wang could command the soldiers. He believed that with him around, their plan to swallow up the Western Hu people outside would surely succeed.

"But···"

"No buts, this is an order!"

After a brief moment of shock, Qingying still wanted to fight for it, but Wei Chengyi still didn't give him a chance, and even spoke in a harsher tone. Shen Xiangwan, the only one who could speak for him, looked back and forth at them, leaned back in her chair, and chose to stay out of the matter. Although with Qingying's company, their chances of success would be greater, but since Chengyi decided to keep him, he must have his reasons. She knew nothing, so it was better for her to stay out of it.

Although Wei Chengyi's plan was crazy, it was based on their own strength and foundation, and the chance of success was still very high. In the afternoon, Shen Xiangwan did not interfere with their discussion of business. After lunch, he took Yuan Yue to the wounded camp. After continuous efforts day and night, the soldiers with serious injuries had been treated, and the rest were basically slightly injured.

"The wound has healed well and I can walk around now."

Shen Xiangwan personally checked the wounds of the soldiers who had been disemboweled two nights ago. The weather was still very cold, which was not conducive to wound recovery. In order to make them recover faster, she specially asked someone to find Yan Junling to ask for a lot of smokeless charcoal. There were charcoal fires everywhere inside and outside the wounded camp for heating. Perhaps the minor injuries were not very obvious, but it was obvious from the wounds of the seriously injured soldiers that their injuries were recovering no slower than when the weather was warm.

"Go to the ground?"

The soldier's eyes widened as he spoke with difficulty. When the effects of the Ma Fei San wore off, he felt intense pain just breathing. Even his first meal after ventilation, even liquid food, was a struggle. Going to the toilet was a life-threatening experience. And now she's asking him to walk? Are you sure you're not kidding?
