In order not to hold the Zhou family back, the eldest sister did not hesitate to strike... Zhou Cheng closed his eyes, his brow throbbing.
Marquis of Pingyang!
Zhou Cheng said slowly and deliberately, "Send a message to Heilong: if you find the whereabouts of Marquis Pingyang on the way to the capital, stop him at all costs. I won't be able to swallow this anger until I tear him to pieces."
Black Rat nodded and immediately sent a messenger to Black Dragon: "Young Master, what should we do with the guards of the Marquis of Pingyang's residence? Should they all be killed?"
Killed?
Boom boom boom!
Everyone present felt a jolt of fear and trembled with dread.
Zhou Cheng's gaze fell on the group of people, and he said in a deep voice, "I do intend to kill them."
Everyone was utterly devastated: "!!!"
"but--"
Everyone held their breath, their hearts pounding.
"I can give you a chance to live, it just depends on whether you can catch it. If you can catch it, I can let you live; if you can't, then you're doomed."
The soldiers dared not ask for anything more and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, saying, "Please enlighten us, Young Master Zhou."
"We would gladly die for a chance to survive."
Zhou Cheng listened to these words of loyalty.
He sneered, glanced at the two thousand-plus soldiers, and wondered whether to call them cowards or shrewd: "Withdraw ten thousand troops from the eight cities near the capital."
"All the reserve elite troops in the city have been transferred to the capital."
"Among them, the granary, treasury, armory and supply depot are each guarded by about three to five hundred officers and soldiers."
"I've emptied the warehouses in Yan City. Now there are seven left. Tell me, can you take over the warehouses in these seven cities within five days and hold them until I take over?"
"Answer me, can you?"
Given Zhou Cheng and Black Rat's speed, it's impossible for them to take over the warehouses of seven cities within five days.
But Lin Jiaoyun's wedding is the day after tomorrow.
After the wedding!
Emperor Yan will surely know that Zhou Cheng truly has no intention of rescuing Lin Jiaoyun; he has not used any feint or diversionary tactics.
At that time,
Emperor Yan would then recall all his elite troops to hunt down Zhou Cheng.
This process won't take too long, about five or six days.
However, five or six days was not enough time for Zhou Cheng to transfer the warehouse resources of eight cities.
First of all, the distance between cities varies. The closer the city is, the more it takes half a day, while the farther one is, one or two days. In between, adjustments and rest are needed, and preparations for battle are required. At most, three cities can be captured in five days.
"Warehouses, storehouses...the storehouses of the eight cities near the capital?"
"Young Master Zhou, if we capture those warehouses and hold out until you come to take over, will we survive?"
“But, but we have more than two thousand people. The city is heavily guarded. With so many of us, so conspicuous, and without the Marquis’s travel documents, we’re afraid we won’t even be able to get through the city gates.”
"We are not afraid to fight to the death, but we really can't break through the city gate."
"........"
Faced with the concerns of the soldiers.
Zhou Cheng raised his hand, and the fifty archers behind him immediately stood up and stood straight behind him: "I have fifty trusted men under my helmet, fully equipped with weapons, and grenades that can blow open the city gates."
"As soon as the bombing started, the guards inside the city didn't dare to show their faces. The name of the Zhou family's weapon was known to everyone in Yan."
"Without sufficient manpower in the city, those guards would never dare to charge forward and die."
“My fifty trusted men will lead you to seize the treasuries of each city. Your chance to live is right in front of you. If you succeed, I will spare your lives. If you dare to have any other thoughts, the consequences will be far beyond what you can bear!”
