The more Yu Huatian thought about it, the worse his expression became. Sure enough, none of the Nan family were good people. They were guarding the northwest border and doing nothing, yet they dispatched so many soldiers to help them. Sure enough, they had no good intentions!
"General Yu, can you tell me who the Nan family is that guards the border?"
Yu Huatian was no longer as calm as usual. He seemed to have learned the true skills from Li Cunxiao. With a frown on his face, he was about to lift the Nan family's head.
It was dark, and Yu Huatian's expression could not be seen. However, Yue Fei, who was standing next to him, could also sense that unusual aura.
The tone of his voice was an octave lower than before, and his words carried a hint of disappointment.
"If the Nan family was willing to mobilize troops, we wouldn't have to rush around here. The Nan family is a bunch of traitors! We must not show mercy when they rebel!"
"Take them and build the Great Wall!"
This caused another round of laughter.
Yu Huatian originally thought that he came here just to help and assist him, but he didn't expect that he brought a group of soldiers with him and stayed up all night in the tent to write a bunch of strategic deployments.
Even everyone present had never expected this.
"Brother Yue, don't work so hard. Let's gather our strength now because we have a tough battle tomorrow."
"Brother, I've already sent a group of people, and now we've figured out the location of the rebel branch. We can just go and attack them tomorrow!"
Yue Fei just nodded, picked up the candle next to him and moved it closer so that he could look carefully at the map of Wudu County in the middle.
Wudu County is a semi-mountainous area, with a mountain range stretching from Wudu County to Guanghan County. The Qishan Mountains are high and easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are also peaks that are impossible to climb.
If they were waiting on that mountain and I rashly sent troops to attack, wouldn't there be heavy casualties?
"Brother Yu, who is the leader of the rebel army, and where is the branch stationed?"
Yu Huatian paused, and finally called out to the servant outside the door to bring up a chart.
The chart was quite large, like a scroll. Yu Huatian placed it on the ground and kicked it with his foot. The scroll began to roll from one side until it unfolded.
"According to the reports given to me by the scouts, it's probably in some mountainous area, probably on that desolate mountain. The Qin Dynasty once opened a mine here, but it's now abandoned."
"They are all resting there for the time being."
Yue Fei walked forward, took the lantern from Yu Huatian and began to check the location of the thieves.
"As he expected, they were indeed near the mountains, but he didn't know whether they had done it on purpose or for some reason, but they had chosen to go to the mine.
Could it be that there's a trap at the entrance to the mine? It's probably because of the continuous drizzle and the cold weather on the mountaintop these past two days that they're staying here.
It's indeed a team formed by scum. Since they are in the mine halfway up the mountain, wouldn't it be a sure win?
"Have the logistics people arrived?"
?
"Early tomorrow morning, have the logistics staff prepare a bowl of noodles for the brothers to eat. Otherwise, the brothers won't be in high spirits in this rainy day."
We can’t let our brothers not even have the energy to fight.”
He thought he was quite good to his subordinates, and if he wasn't tired late at night, he would have cooked.
The two chatted all night long.
So when he woke up yawning, Yue Fei was standing beside the tent with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Yu is finally awake, come and have some noodles."
"It's already this late, why would you still want to eat noodles?"
Eat quickly, and after you finish, I'll gather my troops and charge forward. Last night, I felt uneasy, so I sent people to guard the foot of the mountain. Anyway, some of our men have infiltrated the rebel camp."
Yue Fei remained unmoved. The bowl of noodles in his hand was still steaming, and the aroma was so fragrant that it aroused his appetite.
There's no time to rush now. Since someone has infiltrated the rebel group, why panic? The right thing to do is to finish eating quickly.
Even if they run away, how can we catch up with them with our elite troops?
So after this persuasion, Yu Huatian rubbed his head and took the bowl of noodles. He really didn't expect this person to be so nagging, but since it was just noodles, he might as well finish it quickly and leave.
The noodles were finished. When I quietly reached their mine, I found a small fire burning. It was still dark. The night watchman at the door was still huddled aside, soundly asleep.
They were indeed untrained soldiers, thinking of rebellion yet sleeping so soundly.
"Everyone, quickly surround this mine entrance. From what I understand, there shouldn't be a back door! The back door was blown down by the gunpowder from the bombing, so you can just go in from the front."
Yu Huatian gave orders in a cold voice, but was interrupted by Yue Fei who had recovered.
"Pick out a minimum number of troops to guard the entrance to the mine, and the rest of you should surround the two surrounding mountains. It would be best to sneak up here stealthily."
It would be fine if he was just playing the trick of catching a turtle in a jar, but seeing the situation, it would be arrogant for him to dare to go directly into the battlefield to fight against their elite soldiers after reading two articles on military strategy.
"Brother Yue, what does this mean?"
"I personally went to investigate this group of rebels last night, and the intelligence was indeed correct. However, most of them are just lazy soldiers."
"And I noticed white smoke rising slowly from the top of the mountain, and even sporadic sparks. I guess it's because the light rain extinguished the fire."
"So even though it's not 100% certain, it's still 80% or 90% certain. It's a strategy to catch a turtle in a jar, right?"
As expected.
Without even giving the order to war, this group of people captured the lord and his rebels' self-proclaimed elite troops from behind.
The process was so smooth and effortless that even the half-asleep general had no idea how he had been captured. He thought someone in his team had leaked the information, so he spat at them bitterly.
"Son of a bitch!"
As luck would have it, the spit landed on the face of one of his subordinates.
"Hey, I'm telling you..."
The subordinate was so angry that he raised his knife and wanted to strike him, but Yue Fei shouted at him. Yu Huatian smiled and was really impressed by this change of attitude.
Yue Fei did not scold him, but he severely criticized the subordinate who did not know the rules. Then he took out the personnel list in his arms and unceremoniously stuck his fingerprints on the paper.
Confession.
As for where the ink came from in the wilderness...
After all, isn't there a lot of blood on this guy? Why not just slash a few times, dip it in the blood, and then press it directly on?
