"Commander Liu, there's been no news from Commander Zhou... Should we send another team to Xujiazhuang to scout around?"

Zhou Cang and his men were defeated in a panic, and Liu Pi was still unaware of the specific details.

However, in the past few days, he has successfully collected all the leftovers and scraps from the southern part of Pei State.

Although the supplies here are not plentiful, they are enough for these people to get through the winter if they use them sparingly.

"Hmph, what do their lives have to do with me, Liu Pi? They've probably been dealt with by those people from Xu Family Village. That's fine, the people from Xu Family Village must have suffered heavy losses as well."

"Order the entire army to immediately march on Xu Family Village!"

"...Here you go."

Tens of thousands of bandits finally assembled and slowly set off towards Xu Family Village.

Before long, the walls of Xujiazhuang, ravaged by war, appeared before the army.

The dried bloodstains on the ground were still traceable, but the bones or remains were nowhere to be found.

"Commander, this Xu Family Village doesn't look that impressive. And Zhou Cang seems to be a mediocre fellow, unable to even take down a village like this."

"Exactly! If our brothers swarm in, how can we not break through these ordinary wooden walls!"

"Hey, if we can't even take down a place like this, I'll eat it right now!"

Liu Pi was amused by the group and joined in.

"You guys are all talk and no action. Alright, get ready to take this place!"

This estate looks nice. The women will be divided equally among the brothers, the men will all be dealt with, and everything inside will be ours!

"Long live the commander!"

"Great news, Commander!"

While a group of people were arguing and shouting, it suddenly felt like a bright, sunny day had been suddenly filled with a large dark shadow.

"Hmm, what is this...?"

Everyone looked up suddenly and saw a black, rapidly moving 'cloud' covering the sky above them!

"Arrows...Rain!"

Puff puff puff puff!

Before Liu Pi could even utter the word "dodge," countless feathers rained down upon the ground, relentlessly washing away their sinful lives!

"Keep firing, don't stop!"

Inside the manor, besides his own soldiers, Zhao Hao also had many ordinary villagers, each armed with either a large bow or a powerful crossbow.

"Yes, that's it! Don't be stingy with the arrows!"

A dozen or so volleys of arrows rained down on Liu Pi's army.

After this torrential downpour of arrows, how many of Liu Pi's troops would be left?

They couldn't even utter a cry for help. After the rain of arrows ceased, the battlefield was filled only with mournful wails.

“Zhongkang, I told you, I’m leaving this to you.”

Go bury all these people, then we'll continue our journey to achieve our goals!

"yes!"

Although Zhao Hao could not bring out a large number of soldiers from his own space in a short period of time, only the elite soldiers produced in the Qin Ancestral Temple were exempt from this restriction. All other personnel, whether physicians, craftsmen, or soldiers, were subject to quantity restrictions.

In contrast, the quantity of supplies that Zhao Hao could retrieve from his spatial storage was much more flexible.

This was true at Yanmen Pass, and it is true now at Xujiazhuang.

These crossbows and arrows were all brought out by Zhao Hao from within his spatial storage. This 'ambush' was the perfect opportunity for Zhao Hao to test the power of the Qin Dynasty's arrow formation.

The remains of Liu Pi and his subordinates are the best evidence!

"My lord, the more than four thousand who managed to escape have all been wiped out by my subordinates, not a single one was spared!"

Previously, Yuwen Chengdu hadn't been allowed to unleash his full potential, so this time he naturally had to be given a chance to kill to his heart's content.

"That's right, everyone help the villagers bury these thieves."

"Hehe, some of them have been reduced to ashes by Xu Chu and his men, so they probably don't even need to be buried."

"That's great, it saves a lot of trouble."

...

"Liu Pi has left his stronghold? That guy really couldn't hold back."

In He Yi and He Man's secret hideout, the imposter saintess is listening to the two brothers report various intelligence.

"The Holy Maiden is indeed incredibly insightful. That Liu Pi is indeed, indeed... uh?"

"Brother... I taught you all your brilliant strategies, how could you forget about plotting something sinister?"

"Yes, yes, Liu Pi was indeed plotting something nefarious..."

The imposter saint chuckled, "It would be more accurate to say she has ulterior motives."

Then, with her legs crossed and chin in hand, even with a veil covering her face, her stunning beauty could not be hidden.

"Forget about Liu Pi; he's never been on our side. The government troops won't be able to find our location for a while, so take this opportunity to train your soldiers to be more skilled."

Otherwise, if they really attack and your troops are still a disorganized mess, then we're not far from death."

He Yi was taken aback. "Holy Maiden, are you saying that those government troops are really coming this time, and not just putting on a show?"

The woman nodded slightly. "That's right. News has been received within the province that the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou have been completely wiped out. The surrendered soldiers and criminals have all been exiled to Qingzhou for labor."

So, they're not just putting on an act; they're genuinely here to oppose us.

He Man frowned slightly. "Holy Maiden, with so many of our troops, how dare they invade?"

The woman sneered, "What, Envoy He, do you think that the world-famous Zhao Hao is a man of his word who doesn't keep his promises? In my opinion, Liu Pi may already be resisting Zhao Hao's main force, which wants to go south to provide support."

This is good, as it will allow them to wear each other down, while Lu Bu's army will not be able to detect us. With the army stationed there for a long time, their morale will naturally decline.

"If you two just maintain our army's combat effectiveness, repelling them once more won't be difficult."

Upon hearing this, He Man frowned.
