Someone saw Tan Junyan looking at the letter with a frown on her face, and couldn't help but ask, "Commander, what did Wang Yan say in the letter?"
"Why!"
Tan Junyan sighed, "Wang Yan blamed us for sending troops to attack Tianshui City at midnight tonight."
"The implication of his letter is that any major decisions should be discussed with him in advance."
"The gods are right. Our decision was indeed hasty."
"Yes, the weapons that God promised us, such as compound bows and bulletproof vests, have not yet arrived. Once those weapons are delivered, we will have the upper hand in attacking Tianshui City and will achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Everyone looked a little regretful. Qu Zheng tentatively asked, "Coach, should we cancel tonight's operation?"
"That's not necessary."
Tan Junyan shook her head slightly, "Young Master Wang Yan gave us three sets of strategies."
"One is fireworks and grenades."
"The people of Tianshui City have never seen fireworks, let alone grenades. This will definitely throw them into disarray."
"Second, have the soldiers heading to attack Tianshui City disguise themselves as civilians and leave the city one after another."
"When we left the city, we shouted that we were short of food and would not withdraw our troops."
"This way, it will be difficult for the spies in Tianshui City to discover that we are sending troops."
"Secondly, we can also reassure the barbarian army, making them mistakenly believe that we don't have much food and will collapse in a few days."
"If the show is to be real, the conscription office will temporarily stop recruiting soldiers, but they must settle the civilians who have come to surrender to the city."
"This will buy us some time. The longer it takes, the better it will be for us."
"Once large quantities of composite bows and other military equipment arrive, we can proactively attack the barbarian army, not to mention defending the city."
"Third, the soldiers leaving the city will be divided into two waves. One wave will attack the city head-on, and the other wave will disguise themselves as barbarians and sneak into the city under the pretext of assisting in the battle."
"If we succeed, even if Long Feng is exposed and captured, we can still cooperate with the outside forces to reduce our casualties."
"Even direct beheading to end the battle."
"Young Master Wang Yan is most worried about Long Feng being exposed. He believes that although Long Feng is a strong fighter, he is not suitable to be an insider."
The generals nodded frequently as they listened.
Qu Zheng spoke first:
"Master Wang Yan is truly resourceful. These three strategies are closely linked. If successfully implemented, they will greatly reduce our casualties and allow us to capture Tianshui City more smoothly."
"That's right, Wang Yan's strategy is indeed beyond our reach."
Tan Junyan agreed with Qu Zheng's words, "Now, we must act immediately and strictly follow Wang Yan's three strategies."
"Qu Zheng, you are responsible for having the soldiers disguise themselves as civilians and sneak out of the city."
"We must be mindful of our words and actions, and try to convince the barbarian army that we are truly short of food and will not withdraw our troops."
"Yes." Qu Zheng was about to take the order and leave.
"etc!"
Tan Junyan suddenly stopped,
"There's one thing that's difficult to do. You're all veterans of the Tan family army. It's probably inappropriate for you to pretend to be generals of the barbarian army."
"Yes, we will be recognized if we go."
"Who should go?"
"The soldiers in Tianshui City understand us well. It would be difficult for anyone to go."
Everyone looked embarrassed and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Qu Zhengyi bowed and said, "Commander, I recommend someone."
Tan Junyan subconsciously said, "Who."
Everyone else also looked at Qu Zheng.
Qu Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Li Zhaolong."
"That second-generation rich kid!"
"Can he do it?"
…
Many soldiers expressed doubts.
After all, Li Zhaolong's reputation is not very good.
"hey-hey."
Qu Zheng chuckled, "Li Zhaolong is no longer that second-generation rich kid."
"He has said goodbye to the past."
"Don't forget, he was the one who brought back the news that the Daliang army was attacking us."
"He's been with the Barbarian Army for a while and understands their habits. He's perfect to pretend to be their general."
"Besides, we healed his mother. He will be so grateful to us that he won't refuse."
"Qu Zheng, go and arrange for the soldiers to leave the city."
"Fan Yin, go find Li Zhaolong and I'll talk to him in person."
"Yes, yes."
The two agreed in unison and turned to walk out.
Soon, Li Zhaolong was brought into the general's mansion by Fan Yin.
"General Tan, on the way here, Fan Yin told me that I am willing to pretend to be a general of the Barbarian Army and lead my troops into Tianshui City."
Li Zhaolong said this when he saw Tan Junyan.
"I shouldn't have let you take risks. After all, you're just a city dweller..."
"General Tan, there's no need to do this..."
Li Zhaolong interrupted Tan Junyan's words,
"I've seen how you've ensured that the people of this city have enough food and clothing and live a stable life. I have great respect and admiration for you and the Tan family army."
"Recently, my mother is no longer in good health and is planning to join the army and serve the general."
"Now that the general has a request, although I am not talented, I have no choice but to refuse."
Tan Junyan nodded slightly, "Do you know how dangerous this trip is?"
"Of course I know, but don't worry, General. I look and feel quite similar to General Lu Yang of the Barbarian Army."
"If he wears armor and a helmet, only someone familiar with Lu Yang can tell that something is wrong."
Tan Junyan nodded slightly. "That's great, but you still need to be extremely careful. If you're discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Zhaolong bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, General, I will act with caution.
"When you return triumphantly, I will appoint you as a captain of a thousand men."
Tan Junyan said as she looked at Fan Yin, "You will prepare armor for him and explain the precautions to him."
