The general waved his hand and replied, "Manager Chen, you're too polite. Even though the Third Prince has agreed to join forces with us to encircle and suppress the Rakshasa demons, I simply cannot stand by and watch these Wolf Riders get injured while protecting you."
After that, he instructed He Xiong, "Go and arrange for capable personnel. Not only military doctors and medicine, but also food and liquor. Don't treat these grassland men with indifference!"
Chen Zhao thought for a moment and added, "If General He sends someone over, please also pass on a message for me. I will mobilize supplies as soon as possible and will definitely be there the day after tomorrow. Please wait for a moment, Wolf Riders."
He Xiong nodded, turned around and went out to quickly make arrangements.
Tai Jiye was concerned about the situation at the border, after all, his nephew had to stay and fight the enemy.
He asked, "General, the Russian devils have never been so rampant. Are they planning something bad? If they are determined to attack, how many months can we hold out? Will the court respond and agree to send us money and food?"
In fact, what he said was a bit offensive. After all, this was a military secret. However, this year, the Tai family had used actual actions to prove their support and closeness to the border defense troops. The general doubted that anyone would suspect Tai Jiye of stealing secrets.
He casually replied, "The military report has been sent to Kyoto, but there's been no response from Kyoto yet, so I'm afraid we can't count on it. As for the Rakshasa invaders invading the border, it's certain! Even the group you encountered today might be the vanguard of the border invasion. It's just that the Rakshasa invaders are greedy and short on supplies. They might have stumbled upon you and planned to rob you to replenish their supplies. Unexpectedly, by coincidence, they were surrounded and attacked by you."
As expected, Tai Jiye listened anxiously and immediately said, "Don't worry, General. When I get home in a few days, I will discuss with my father and immediately collect some food and send it over. No matter how much, it is a token of our gratitude to the people of the north."
Chen Zhao was originally afraid that the general would be unhappy, and wanted to help smooth things over, but he didn't expect that he didn't have to worry at all.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Jiye, why don't you take the caravan back to Tai'an first? I need to stay and gather supplies. After all, I promised the Wolf Riders, and the alliance between the General and the Third Prince is imminent. I have to arrange it myself to feel at ease. This way, I'm afraid it will delay us for five or six days..."
Tai Jiye immediately responded, "Okay, I do miss home. I'll take the clan members back tomorrow, and I'll leave these guys in your care. If anything happens, send someone to report it!"
"Okay, don't worry." The two of them reached an agreement in just a few words.
The Sixth Prince interjected, "Now that a war is about to begin, I'm afraid the North will be in chaos for a while. Be careful not to have bandits or something disturb our family. Why don't you let my guards continue to follow Third Uncle back to the village and obey the old man's orders from now on to protect our family's safety."
Tai Jiye was of course happy to have more helpers. The old soldiers in his family were of great use, not to mention the prince's guards.
"Okay, Your Highness, I won't be polite then. It just so happens that we encountered the Rakshasa devils today, and several guards were slightly injured. Let's go back to our house together and let them recuperate."
The general was also willing to do a favor, and took the opportunity of sending someone back to the general's mansion to get official documents to send Tai Jiye and others to the border. Chen Zhao also followed them and prepared supplies for the wolf cavalry in advance.
The Tai family was halfway through their camp when they heard that they could go directly through the pass and return home. They were so happy.
This journey was too dangerous, with several life-and-death experiences. Only the warm warmth of home could comfort their frightened souls.
But everyone didn't know that at this moment, the people of Tai'an were in even greater danger than they were!
That night, Tai'an County was as quiet as ever, with only the cold wind blowing, and no one moving about. Because so many people had left the county and were heading south, and with the recent thefts in Taijia Village, the county magistrate not only increased patrols but also issued a curfew.
If anyone was caught traveling at night, the first thing they would do was throw him into jail and wait for daybreak for further investigation.
Harsh punishments are used in troubled times.
This series of measures is really useful. The county town has indeed become much safer. Even the ruffians and hooligans have to keep their tails between their legs and dare not wander around the streets.
But just when everyone thought that life was so peaceful, an accident suddenly happened.
In the middle of the night, the soldiers guarding the city gate were so cold that they hid in the city tower and fell into sleep.
Occasionally, someone would wake up because he had to pee, and would hold his red tassel spear to find a place to urinate. As a result, when he came out of the city wall, he saw two brothers stealthily poking at the big wooden bolt on the city gate!
He subconsciously asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"
The two men turned around in shock and took a look. Instead of stopping, they tried even harder to lift the door bolt.
No matter how dumb the soldier was, he knew something was wrong. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone is trying to open the city gate! Quick, help!"
He didn't realize he had to hold his urine, so he picked up the spear in his hand and went to knock on the hanging warning bronze bell.
The dark night in the north was cut cleanly by the noise!
Dozens of soldiers rubbed their eyes and ran out in panic. Looking at the city gate, they found that the heavy bolt had been lifted down most of the way. If they pushed harder, the city gate would be wide open!
"Quick, stop them!"
Everyone rushed forward, chopped the two traitors to pieces with a few strokes and threw them aside. When they were about to pull the bolt back, strange shouts and cries of killing were heard outside the door. A huge force surged in and pushed the city gate open to the width of one person!
The soldier closest to the door suddenly saw the person outside the door. His face was as white as a ghost and his hair was the color of gold!
"It's the Rakshasa devils! Close the door, close the door!"
This soldier really used all his strength and had never shouted so loudly in his life.
