"Spies ahead report that the reinforcements from the capital haven't arrived at Guangfeng City yet."
Xiao Yunzhan's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the living room.
They captured Dongmen City without wasting any time, which just gave them time to attack Guangfeng City.
This afternoon, he had deployed 20,000 Heavenly God Troops to garrison the East Gate City.
At the same time, the recruitment of soldiers was also proceeding in full swing.
The people were very willing to join the army, and the number of new recruits had increased by 50,000 in just one afternoon.
These 50,000 new recruits will be left in Dongmen City and led by the 20,000 Heavenly God Army.
The recruits' physique is still a little poor and they need to be nursed back to health.
Lin Yiran glanced at Xiao Yunzhan and continued his words.
"Tian Xiao and his group should have just arrived in the capital by now. We should immediately rush to Guangfeng City. Those reinforcements probably haven't reached Guangfeng City yet."
"Guangfeng City shouldn't be any better than Dongmen City at this point, barring any unexpected events. This is a good time to capture it."
Perhaps, by the time they captured Guangfeng City, the troops sent by Emperor Wu of Liang would have just arrived in Guangfeng City.
At this time, it depends on who is faster and who can take Guangfeng City faster.
Xiao Yunhao frowned slightly and nodded.
"The God Army has rested for the entire afternoon and can set off at any time."
If Guangfeng City can be taken successfully, a lot of manpower and material resources can be saved.
Yu Wei, who was sitting at the very end, became a little anxious when he heard this.
No---the Heavenly God Army just passed by Dongmen City and left it alone?
There hasn’t been any rain yet, how can the people endure it?
Yu Weigang moved his lips twice, his eyes darting around the faces of everyone in the Xiao family, and then he bravely interrupted with a word,
"Report to King Yongchang!"
Yu Weigang suddenly opened his mouth, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Yu Weigang and raised his hand.
"Master Yu, what's the matter?!"
Yu Weigang pursed his cracked lips and said with a stiff upper lip,
"Dongmen City is facing a severe water shortage. Please, Prince Yongchang, save the people of Dongmen City..."
As he said this, Yu Weigang looked at Xiao Yunzhan with a pleading look on his face and knelt down straight.
In the afternoon, when he saw King Yongchang praying to the God King for food, he knew that the rain would also require King Yongchang to pray to the God King.
He was no longer surprised at all why the Heavenly God Army had such a high level of cohesion.
King Yongchang, who is protected by the God King, will never have to worry about food and clothing. Only a fool would not want to follow him.
"Master Yu, please get up!"
Xiao Yunzhan took two steps forward and helped Yu Weigang up.
He has always respected these officials who are dedicated to serving the people.
He admired the local officials even more for not abandoning the people and running away, especially in such difficult circumstances during the famine years, but for trying their best to seek benefits for the people.
"The Divine King bringing rain and the Heavenly God Army attacking Guangfeng City are two events happening simultaneously, and there is no conflict!"
Xiao Yunzhan smiled and patted Yu Weigang's arm.
"Don't worry, Lord Yu. The rain-praying ceremony in East Gate City will proceed as normal tomorrow morning. The people won't be left to suffer any longer..."
He had discussed all this with Lin Yiran.
He, his elder brother and Lin Yiran stayed behind and continued to pray for rain with the nine Taoist priests.
His father took the Xiao family and the Heavenly God Army and set off for Guangfeng City overnight.
When Yu Weigang heard this, he stood up with tears streaming down his face.
"On behalf of the people of this city, I thank King Yongchang... Thank you, God King..."
Xiao Yunhao listened to Xiao Yunzhan's words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his eyelids to look at Lin Yiran.
"If both sides are doing it simultaneously, then we should split up."
"My fourth brother and sister-in-law will stay with me and lead the Taoist priests to pray for rain."
Having said this, Xiao Yunhao turned to look at General Xiao.
"Dad, with all the soldiers and the large army of the Heavenly God Army, will set off for Guangfeng City now."
"After the three of us finish the rain-making ceremony, we will immediately catch up with you with the Taoist priests."
The speed of a large army is nowhere near as fast as that of the magic car.
He will drive his magic car with them and catch up with the main force tomorrow night.
Lin Yiran smiled and looked at Xiao Yunhao, then nodded.
"Big brother, your idea is good. It won't delay either side."
"Master Yu and his 20,000 Heavenly God Soldiers will be in charge of the aftermath of East Gate City. There is absolutely no problem."
"However, General Yao must stay with us. Someone has to lead the 50,000 newly recruited Heavenly God Army."
It could be said that Xiao Yunhao was a seasoned man, so he understood things quickly and even arranged the manpower.
This was no different from what she and Xiao Yunzhan had discussed.
