Inside the main tent of the military camp.
General Dong Dahai, the vanguard commander, sat imposingly in his chair.
"Gentlemen, we are less than 50 li away from Dragon City, and less than 100 li away from other cities around Dragon City."
Dong Dahai drew his sword and stood up, using the sword to draw the locations of Longcheng and several nearby cities on the ground.
"General Zhang ordered us to take Longcheng and three nearby cities within 20 days."
Qin Hongyu and her two siblings stood up.
Qin Hongyu: "General, according to our informant in Longcheng, Magistrate Gao Ming of Longcheng County has been executed by slow slicing."
"Such a thing happened? Who is so bold as to publicly execute a county magistrate by slow slicing?" Dong Dahai suddenly became interested.
"I heard it was a villager named Jiang Tian who somehow recruited a large number of capable people," Qin Hongyu continued. "They also captured the military camp in the east of the city. Of the more than 1,000 soldiers in the eastern camp, some died and some surrendered."
Qin Weigong: "Sister, is your information reliable?"
“Of course it’s reliable, brother. We have people on Fengming Street. All the high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants in the city go to Fengming Street.”
Qin Weimin: "A mere villager has managed to turn Longcheng upside down. It seems the Great Xia Dynasty's fate is sealed. General, the three of us brothers will storm the city and turn Longcheng upside down."
Chen Weineng: "General, if Sister Hongyu's information is reliable, let alone 20 days, we can take down all three counties in ten days."
Dong Dahai shook his head: "Since we rose up in rebellion, we have fought against the imperial army many times. Although the imperial army is rich but incompetent, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not die easily."
"Everyone, we must not underestimate them."
Dong Dahai has always been very cautious.
Qin Weigong stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "General, our men have led the 100,000 refugees to the outskirts of Longcheng."
We had several hundred people among the fleeing civilians.
"Once they open the city gates and these 100,000 people enter, we can go inside and start a massacre."
Dong Dahai nodded.
"Hongyu... what kind of person is Jiang Tian exactly?"
Qin Hongyu shook her head: "General, I don't know. But I've heard he's a lecherous man."
“Hongyu, I remember you have a younger sister named Qin Hongniang. She entered Longcheng two years ago. It was arranged by our Commander Zhang himself.”
"Yes, General. My sister, Qin Hongniang, is a famous figure in Dragon City. Two years ago, she was the most beautiful courtesan, and countless high-ranking officials and nobles spent lavishly on her."
"Could we get her close to Jiang Tian so she can capture or kill him?"
Although Dong Dahai had never met Jiang Tian, he was able to execute the county magistrate's entire family by slow slicing and lead his men to wipe out the East City Camp.
Although the number of troops in the eastern camp of Longcheng was not large, those soldiers were all elite cavalry.
Dong Dahai's peasant uprisings and elite cavalry had been fought.
Each of these elite cavalrymen is worth dozens of them.
Jiang Tian actually managed to wipe out more than 1,000 elite cavalrymen with his men!
This shows that Jiang Tian's men are capable of dealing with thousands, or even tens of thousands, of them.
Dong Dahai, who is always cautious, was unwilling to face such an opponent.
"I'll send a message to the matchmaker right away and ask her to find a way to get rid of this guy named Jiang Tian."
Dong Dahai sat back down in his chair: "Gentlemen, if we take Longcheng and the other two nearby cities, Commander Zhang's great cause will take another step forward."
“Our Commander Zhang has captured 12 cities in the last six months. If we capture these three cities, Commander Zhang’s territory will account for more than 10% of the Great Xia Dynasty.”
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Gentlemen, we are unstoppable. When our Marshal Zhang dons the yellow robe, you and I will all be founding heroes."
"promise……"
The crowd dispersed.
Dong Dahai walked up to Qin Hongyu and said, "Hongyu, I think you should go to the city yourself. Hongniang is all alone and I'm worried that she, a girl, will mess things up."
"Yes... Hongyu will obey your orders," Qin Hongyu said, bowing.
...
Luo Xiaohu and his group escorted Jiang Tian straight to Longcheng.
The farmland outside Peach Blossom Village is lush and green.
The wheat had grown to over a foot tall.
The villagers were all beaming with joy.
More than a dozen villages near Peach Blossom Village.
These villagers also carried buckets and lined up to come to Peach Blossom Village to fetch water.
Jiang Tian and his cavalry galloped all the way.
When they were still more than ten miles from the county town, a dozen fast horses passed by Jiang Tian's horse team.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Tian realized that the person riding the warhorse at the very front was none other than Fairy Miaomiao.
This fairy Miaomiao likes to dress up as a man.
This time, however, Fairy Miaomiao looked quite dashing riding her warhorse.
He quickly spurred his horse forward, saying, "Fairy Miaomiao, we meet here."
The woman on horseback was startled upon hearing this. She suddenly pulled on the reins, and the horse reared up.
"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not some fairy."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian immediately laughed: "You still say you're not Fairy Miaomiao? You can fool others, but you can't fool my eyes."
Your every smile, every gesture, is exactly like that of the Fairy Miaomiao.
Your voice is exactly the same as his.
A few days ago, Jiang Tian went to Hongxiuzhao and was stopped on the street by Fairy Miaomiao when he came out.
Back then, when Fairy Miaomiao looked at him, her eyes were still burning with passion.
Today, this fairy Miaomiao is as cold as ice.
A woman's heart is truly unfathomable.
Jiang Tian shook his head.
Since the other party doesn't admit to being Fairy Miaomiao, there's no need to keep bothering her.
"Perhaps I've mistaken you for someone else. Farewell, Fairy Miaomiao. But your voice is truly beautiful."
Jiang Tian braced his legs against the horse's belly, then lashed out with his whip, sending his warhorse galloping forward.
Qin Hongyu immediately realized something, and the young girl quickly caught up: "Young master, please forgive me for being rude to you just now. May I ask how I should address you?"
Jiang Tian slowed down his horse: "You're really not Fairy Miaomiao? Perhaps that Fairy Miaomiao is your twin sister."
"I'm going to the city to see my sister. If this gentleman doesn't mind, may we travel together?"
“No problem,” Jiang Tian nodded. “My name is Jiang Tian. May I ask how this young lady is addressed?”
