Shen Qian's voice was filled with excitement, and he also brought another piece of information:
"Also, Ye Bushu risked his life to report back that there have been unusual movements in the Northern Di. The Right Wise King has dispatched King Loufan and King Xiutu with 30,000 cavalry south, and they will soon enter Longyou!"
Inside the big tent, the generals, who had just experienced a small-scale skirmish, looked solemn when they heard the news.
Namtso, the leader of the Qiang and Rong tribes, was the first to shout:
"General Tian, another 30,000 Tartars are coming! What should we do? Keep circling them around on the grasslands? Our men can still fight, but our horses and arrows are severely depleted!"
Wu Shangzhi also advised: "General, we have been isolated for too long, and our soldiers are exhausted."
"Now that the situation with Lord Pei and Brother Tang is improving, and reinforcements from the Northern Di are approaching, should we... retreat to Longyou first, secure our position in the city, and then make plans?"
Zhao Muyun stood in front of the simple map with a deep look in his eyes.
He slid his finger across his current location, then pointed towards Wild Boar Ridge and the heart of Longyou, and finally landed in the north of Longyou, representing the impending arrival of reinforcements from the Northern Di.
"Retreating to Longyou is inevitable."
Zhao Muyun spoke slowly, his voice steady and full of unquestionable strength, "But we are not retreating, we are advancing victoriously! The purpose of our trip has been exceeded."
"Wumu Chi's vitality was severely damaged, the Northern Di royal court was shaken, and the pressure on Longyou was greatly reduced."
He turned around and glanced at the generals: "However, the 30,000 reinforcements sent by the Right Wise King are a new variable."
"If we allow them to join forces with the remnants of Wumuchi, the situation in Longyou will be in turmoil again, and our previous efforts may be wasted."
"General, what you mean is..." A fighting spirit flashed in Guo Luo's eyes.
Zhao Muyun pointed his finger heavily at an area between Yezhuling and the hinterland of Longyou, a vast area north of Ganzhou and west of Guazhou.
"We can't let these two groups of Di Kou merge easily! We must use our familiarity with the terrain and the cooperation of Pei Lun and Tang Yanhai's troops before they merge to find an opportunity to severely damage or even destroy one of them!"
His eyes flashed with a wolf-like fierceness: "Wumuchi is now like a frightened bird, with scattered forces and low morale. He is at his weakest moment."
"The Northern Di reinforcements have just arrived, are arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and are unfamiliar with the terrain and climate of Longyou. This is our opportunity!"
"Order the entire army to turn southwest and move towards Ganzhou at full speed!"
"Send a fast horse to inform Pei Lun and Shi Yong to quickly reunite in Ganzhou. We will prepare a final 'feast' for Wumuchi south of Wild Boar Ridge!"
"yes!"
The generals responded loudly, and their tired faces were rekindled with high fighting spirit.
