Guanshan County.
Gao Xuankai, along with Zhu Yanduan, Li Boyu, and General Wan, welcomed the arrival of the brave general at the north gate.
"I greet the General. I'm very tired from the journey. I've prepared some wine and drinks for you to welcome you."
"Your humble servant greets the General. You must have traveled all the way here, thank you for your hard work!"
General Wan, Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu all paid their respects to the brave general at the same time.
"Who are you?" The brave general asked in confusion, looking at the three unfamiliar people.
"General, we are here to assist you on the orders of the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin," Gao Xuankai said after saluting.
"I see! If that's what the Emperor and the Prince want, you stay here, and we'll work together to annihilate the Yan Chi Army here." The brave general hadn't expected the Emperor and the Prince to send someone to assist him. Judging by their appearance, they must have been here for a while. He'd just arrived, so could they have been here even longer? He just didn't know what the Emperor and the Prince meant. They hadn't made it clear when they arrived.
It seems that we should observe for a few days to see what the situation is, and then make plans. The brave general narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Yes, I will definitely assist the general." Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu bowed and said.
"Okay, let's go back and have dinner. I will report to the general about the situation during this period." General Wan said respectfully.
So, General Wan took the lead and took the brave general to the county government office and started to eat.
Everyone had been sleeping in the open air all the way and had not had a proper meal. They had been just gnawing on dry food. Now, seeing the delicious and fragrant food on the table, they threw military rules to the back of their heads, picked up their chopsticks and started to eat voraciously without waiting for the general to speak.
The brave general wanted to say a few words, but when he saw the soldiers wolfing down their food, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget it. They have been exhausted from the journey, trekking through mountains and rivers, sleeping in the open air. They must have worked hard. Let them have a good meal and rest up. There is still a battle to be fought, and I don’t know how many of them will be able to return alive.
Looking at the soldiers wolfing down their food, I felt heavy-hearted. Many of them were sixteen or seventeen years old, and many of them were unmarried.
The soldiers devoured the food in no time, leaving only the remaining soup and juice on the table, without even a single vegetable leaf.
After eating and drinking, the soldiers went back to rest.
The brave general took General Wan, Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu to the war room, and General Wan reported on the combat situation during this period.
After listening to the report, the brave general was attracted by the so-called hand grenades. If there really were such magical weapons, this battle would not be a problem at all. It would be won quickly and the death rate of the Jin soldiers would be reduced.
So he stood up excitedly and asked hurriedly: "What? Grenade? What kind of weapon is that? Is it really so powerful?"
General Wan was horrified by the general's expression. Didn't he know? Didn't the emperor ask General Gao and his men to bring this grenade? Why didn't the general know? Didn't the emperor tell him? General Wan was puzzled, his eyes darkened slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"To answer the general, it is indeed powerful. Thanks to the grenades, we can wait for the general's arrival without losing a single soldier." General Wan said truthfully.
No matter what, everyone has witnessed the power of the grenade. He dare not add fuel to the fire or omit any words. He can only tell the truth and seek truth from facts.
"Quickly bring the grenade to this general." Since it was real, he immediately wanted to see what the grenade looked like.
Gao Xuankai gave a role to the secret guard, who immediately went out and returned to their yard to get grenades.
Gao Xuankai did not leave the grenade outside, but kept it in their yard.
General Wan and his soldiers had never seen or used it.
Grenade is a dangerous fire weapon. If you don't know how to use it, it can easily kill your own people.
Therefore, Li Yun specifically instructed that grenades must not be used by outsiders, let alone stored elsewhere, lest the soldiers die in vain. Improper handling could bring disaster to oneself.
The secret guard carefully brought a grenade over and handed it to Gao Xuankai.
Gao Xuankai took the grenade, held it in front of the general, and began to explain it to him: "General, this is a grenade. It's a thermal weapon. Just pull the fuse and throw the grenade, and it will explode. Sometimes, a grenade can flatten a house. Its power is extraordinary."
The brave general looked at the ugly and strange black object with confusion in his eyes. It really had such power. Could it be that they were deceiving him?
So, he asked tentatively: "Is it really so powerful? Otherwise, let me try it."
"No! This is very dangerous. If used improperly, you could kill yourself." Gao Xuankai, upon hearing that the general was going to try it himself, was so frightened that he shook his hands. This was no joke. If used improperly, they would all be buried with him. He hadn't even married or had children yet, let alone annihilated the Yan Chi Army. What would become of the people here?
Upon hearing the rejection, the general's face darkened, and he became even more suspicious of their words. If it wasn't fake, why were they afraid to let him try? He hadn't expected the emperor and the prince to be so foolish as to send these swindlers. Weren't they treating the people at the border as a joke? If so, he had to expose them and prevent them from harming the people at the border.
The general's eyes widened in anger, and he said in a cold tone, "Could it be that this grenade is fake? Are you trying to trick me? Good! You tricked me! Come, take these three away and give them a hundred beatings with the military stick!"
"Wait, General, you haven't seen its power, so I understand why you say it's fake.
"General, why don't you ask General Wan and the soldiers to see if the grenade is fake?" Gao Xuankai was not frightened. Although his rank was not as high as the general's, he had also been through many hardships and had seen the world. He also had many secret guards under his command. How could he be afraid of the general's wrath?
"General, I can testify that the grenade is very powerful. The reason why Chief Gao didn't let you try it is because it is very dangerous. If you don't know how to use it, or make a mistake in operation, you will blow yourself up.
I have seen its power with my own eyes. Such a small grenade can kill many people.
I've never used grenades before, it's always Chief Gao and his men who use them." General Wan saw the general's rage and quickly put out the fire.
Chief Gao and his men had come to assist them under the orders of the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. Their power was no less than that of a general, and he himself was even more incomparable. If anything happened between the two sides, he would be held responsible.
The general thought that General Wan was not lying. Could it be that this dark-skinned guy was really so powerful?
But think about it, the emperor and the prince can't possibly abandon the people, otherwise they wouldn't let him bring a hundred thousand troops to support them. It seems that I have misunderstood. "Really, you didn't lie to me?"
