"Report to Lord Zhao immediately. We have successfully captured Dejing City!"
Tong Gu was very satisfied with the results of this battle.
Zhao Muyun's military training class had only been open for two days, but a group of captains receiving training were using actual combat as their research topic.
The Battle of Xiazhou is the main topic of their training class.
On the way, they happened to encounter rebels who were out to hunt down the assassins. They were able to attack Dejing at night without suffering many casualties. Although there was a lot of luck involved, Tong Gu's careful arrangements and planning in the early stages also played an important role.
After the messenger left, Tong Gu summoned Tian Qing and Shi Yong to discuss how to deal with the prisoners and march into Xiazhou.
Before the three of them began to discuss, they heard someone come to report: "Sima Tong, Captain Du is back too!"
Tong Gu stood up immediately and said excitedly, "Captain Du is here so soon, it seems he has good news too!"
Not long after, Du Wei rushed over and said, "Sir Tong, thank goodness you have fulfilled your mission. We ambushed you on the main road west of the city and indeed caught a big fish."
"Really? Did they capture Hou Zongming's second brother?" Tong Gu said excitedly.
"They all call him the second in command, so it must be him." Dewey grinned.
"That's good now. Hou Zongmin is dead, and his second and third brothers have been captured by us. Xiazhou City will be leaderless and in disarray." Tong Gu clapped his hands and laughed.
"Haha, Xiaowu didn't expect that when his thousand cavalrymen made a detour to Luzi Pass, they would find that the entire Xiazhou was already ours." Tian Qing teased.
Shi Yong then said, "He thinks he's commanding our most elite cavalry and is showing off. Let's make his trip a wasted one and put his arrogance to rest."
In Zhao Muyun's system, the old brothers in Beacon Tower are Zhao Muyun's inner circle.
People like Tong Gu, Du Wei, Zhong Dahu and others belong to the next circle.
Tong Gu smiled and waited for the two to finish their banter, then said:
"Pass the order down, the army will rest for a day."
"Organize the prisoners and deal with the spoils!"
"Prepare to march into Xiazhou."
