Although Yang Tiejun's cooperation proposal was not very attractive to Chen Yu, he already had the idea of subduing the "Frost Alliance", so he didn't argue with him too much.
Although, as Yang Tiejun said, their Nandu was only nominally a "Tianyu Base branch," and Chen Yu could not gain substantial control over Nandu, it was still a step forward, and they could take things slowly in the future.
So he readily agreed to cooperate with Yang Tiejun.
Their relationship deepened, and Yang Tiejun almost wanted to become sworn brothers with Chen Yu. Fortunately, he wasn't drunk, and considering his daughter's relationship with Chen Yu, he didn't do anything ridiculous.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
In the blink of an eye, it was pitch black outside, and it was already late at night.
Considering that Yang Tiejun had drunk quite a bit and traveling at night was too dangerous, Chen Yu warmly invited him and his men to stay overnight at the camp.
The militiamen specially dug two high-standard snow pits for Yang Tiejun and his group, and even lit fireplaces inside, making it quite comfortable to stay in.
…………
The next morning, after confirming the cooperation details discussed the previous night with Chen Yu again, Yang Tiejun left with his men.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu's militia set off again, aiming at Haidu, more than 200 kilometers away.
As for the "Frost Alliance," he wasn't in a hurry. If they launched an attack on Nandu, he could send people back to support them at any time. If he stayed here to wait, the "Frost Alliance" might not dare to act rashly, and he wouldn't be able to take the initiative to attack them.
No matter the time, when one side attacks the other, standing on the moral high ground will always win more support. Although Chen Yu doesn't care whether others support him or not, having some is better than not having any. Anyway, he's not in a hurry right now; Haidu is his primary target.
The journey of over 200 kilometers is not too far. By noon, Chen Yu's army had arrived in Rishan City.
As planned, the army halted its advance and set up camp there.
Rishan City is a county-level city. Although it is a county-level city, it has developed quite well because it is adjacent to Haidu and has taken over a lot of Haidu's industrial manufacturing.
However, Chen Yu's reason for stationing troops here was not to "rescue" its industrial resources; he was simply waiting for the right opportunity.
As mentioned earlier, although he is now determined to take Haidu, he has no reason to send troops to Haidu.
Therefore, he now needs to find a pretext.
"Old Qi, all the humiliation and injustice you suffered over the years, today you can avenge yourself. Don't hold back, just go for it! The men of Tianyu will support you from behind!" Chen Yu said to Qi Xiaowei in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Qi Xiaowei clasped his hands in thanks, his eyes glistening with tears, but his face was full of vigor.
He, Qi Xiaowei, was driven out of Haidu by those powerful and wealthy people like a dog back then.
Today, he vows to stand tall and return to the land that once belonged to him, to show those who mocked and oppressed him who the real clown is.
“Go ahead,” Chen Yu said to Qi Xiaowei.
Qi Xiaowei nodded solemnly, and then led his eight-person team of nine people in two sleds, speeding towards Haidu City.
Watching Qi Xiaowei and his group leave, Lin Lele suddenly realized that Qi Xiaowei was going to show off!
So she quickly called out, "Deputy Regiment Commander Qi, wait for me! I know this well, I'll go with you!"
She was about to chase after him when Chen Yu grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back before she could run two steps.
…………
Qi Xiaowei and his group's two sleds sped along the outskirts of Haidu City, snowflakes being churned up by the wheels, rolling like white waves.
The outline of Haidu City was already faintly visible in the distance. Even though the snow on the ground was more than 10 meters deep, it still seemed small and fragile to Haidu, a megacity with skyscrapers, as if it were just a thin veil covering its huge body.
At this moment, Qi Xiaowei's eyes flickered with complex emotions.
The past is too painful to recall. Although twenty years is enough to erase most of the hatred in a person's heart, when he truly faces the city where he once shed sweat, tears, and blood, those past experiences, those grievances and humiliations, and those ugly faces that thought themselves superior, surge in like a tide, overwhelming him.
Qi Xiaowei took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and said in a deep voice to the soldier driving the sled, "Faster."
The speed of the sled increased again, and the wheels screeched as they rubbed against the snow, as if venting the long-suppressed anger in Qi Xiaowei's heart.
The surrounding buildings gradually became denser, and Qi Xiaowei and his group had quietly approached the edge of Haidu City.
Unlike Kyoto, a city that blends the ancient and the modern, Haito is open on all sides, with a well-connected road network both inside and outside the city.
Therefore, there was no clear boundary between the inside and outside of the city, nor were there strict requirements for entering the city.
Although there were armed personnel checking people at various intersections, Qi Xiaowei quietly slipped them a pack of cigarettes and then didn't make things difficult for them anymore.
As the sleds traveled between the tall buildings, the already gloomy sky appeared even more somber.
The city was deathly silent, except for the occasional piercing scream that could be heard from somewhere on a high-rise building, which was quite eerie.
Clearly, Haidu, the economic center of the Great Xia Dynasty, is not necessarily better off than ordinary cities in the apocalypse, and it is even less comparable to Kyoto.
