Chapter 454: Striving to Achieve the KPI (Thirty-Four) [Seeking Monthly Tickets]
Xianyu Jian was so shocked by Gu Chi's words that he was speechless.
They only have a mere two thousand combatants—
A sneak attack on someone else's capital? ???
Looking at Xianyu Jian, who seemed dumbfounded, Gu Chi sneered contemptuously: "Shiwu is trying to take advantage of the fact that Geng Kingdom is preoccupied with its own internal problems, Yonggu Pass is weak in defense, and has lost its new 'Longwu Prefect,' causing morale to plummet, to seize this strategic pass in one fell swoop..."
We will definitely make full preparations.
Even the elite troops were mobilized in full force!
The capital's defenses are at their weakest point right now. If we don't strike them right in the heart now, when will we ever get another chance? If we're lucky, they could slaughter everyone in the capital, which would be a huge blow to the Ten Crows!
Once internal strife breaks out among the Ten Crows...
The southward advance will inevitably be disrupted.
Even if Yonggu Pass falls and Longwu County is captured in the end, it would be good if this move could buy time for the border counties.
All in all, it was worth it!
Xianyu Jian frowned: "This move is too risky..."
If the defenses of the capital were not as Gu Chi had predicted, and the enemy had left a considerable number of elite troops to guard their stronghold, then their two thousand-plus men going to raid the capital would be tantamount to walking into a trap. Moreover, they also had a troublesome leader here, the prince of Shiwu.
Gu Chi asked him, "Are you afraid of death?"
Xianyu Jian replied in a good-natured manner: "It is not that I am afraid of death, but if I can severely injure Shiwu, my death is not a pity."
Gu Chi said, "That's settled then."
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon his lord, Shen Tang.
Outsiders might think he was seeking his lord's opinion with his eyes, but in reality, he and his lord were of one mind.
war!
They raided the lair of the Ten Crows!
Shen Tang had previously intended to subtly sow discord within the Ten Crows, but since they refused to listen to reason and instead chose to suffer the consequences, she had no choice but to resort to bloody and cruel methods. She would clear out the smaller enemies and push through their base, eventually destroying their crystal.
Shen Tang lowered her eyes, tapping her fingers absently on the table, her brows furrowed, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
The air was heavy and tense. After a long while, Shen Tang said, "Zi Gu, order the entire army to rest for a day and set off tomorrow."
Xianyu Jian opened his mouth, but seeing his lord's resolute expression, he could only clasp his hands in obeisance and loudly declare, "Yes, sir."
Shen Tang: "Kill your way through!"
Shen Tang added with a cold laugh, "I'd like to see how many more people the Ten Crows have left for us to kill!"
They have ten maps of the Ubu defense.
The advantages this thing brings are enormous. The various tribes are scattered like stars across the vast land of Shiwu. The enemy doesn't have satellite positioning or anything like that. If they wanted to catch Shen Tang, who moves like a snake, they would have to be able to read her mind.
After Xianyu Jian withdrew, Gu Chi asked her.
"Does my lord truly intend to embark on a bloodbath along the way?"
Shen Tang gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "Anyway, we're all on the same side. It's not illegal to be a little sarcastic..."
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that they fought their way through.
The route of advance is easily exposed.
But Shen Tang wasn't one to leave empty-handed.
She had to take down those tribes along the march.
The plan to sow discord among the princes of the Ten Crows cannot be abandoned halfway; this is also a great opportunity to weaken the Ten Crows' military strength.
So far, the Shiwu side has not discovered Shen Tang's true identity, and their suspicions are all among their own people.
“Tell Xian Deng about this…”
Shen Tang was unsure of Jiang Sheng's attitude.
If Jiang Sheng objects, this matter will be difficult to resolve.
Surprisingly, Jiang Sheng did not object; in fact, he was somewhat pleased. He said, "To fulfill the path of a scholar, one must personally behead a king. My lord has the ambition to wipe out the Ten Crows, and I imagine he wouldn't be stingy with a head."
A scholar with both literary talent and martial virtue. Shen Tang underestimated Jiang Sheng's dedication and determination to perfect the way of the scholar.
Upon hearing this, she smiled nonchalantly.
“Of course I won’t be stingy. If I have the chance, I will personally escort this person to Xian Deng’s sword.” She paused, then said, “If we are forced into a desperate situation and truly reach the end of our rope, I am willing to lend Xian Deng a hand to help him rise to prominence.”
Jiang Sheng's pupils trembled.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Gu Chi's face, and the latter was also shocked.
He then had a clear idea of what was going on.
He solemnly replied, "That day will never come."
Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi walked out of the temporary main tent.
Suddenly, he uttered a nonsensical statement.
"Qi Yuanliang's downfall was not unjust."
The desire to be trusted is an instinct for every subordinate.
Although Jiang Sheng's need for "trust" wasn't as pathological as Qi Shan's, he still harbored some concerns. However, Shen Tang's words today completely dispelled his doubts and even shocked him into speechlessness for a moment. How could he not be pleased with such openness?
A rare and sincere gentleman in this world.
Gu Chi couldn't help but complain, "Whether Qi Yuanliang has fallen or not, I don't know. I only know that if he knew what the lord said to you today, he would be so angry that he would lose all reason."
Just thinking about that scene...
A pleased smile curved Jiang Sheng's lips.
He said, "I'll have a good talk with him later."
It's called talking, but it's really just showing off.
It would be best to anger Qi Bushan to death in one go.
The next day, at night.
Shen Tang's army has recovered its strength.
She estimated the distance traveled, summoned the village council members, and informed them of the location and approximate time of the next tribe to be destroyed. The council members only needed to handle the aftermath at that time. The food reserves of the two tribes were enough for the village refugees to survive the cold winter and reach the following autumn. They would even have surplus food to develop their grassroots strength, enough to establish themselves.
The people of the populace should be doing things one after another.
He then asked greedily, "What's the next step, Master?"
He could tell that Shen Tang's goal was definitely not just a single tribe. If that was the case, why didn't they just follow in his footsteps and pick up the profits? Shen Tang chuckled, "Sending another tribe a grain reserve is already more than enough..."
The implication is that you shouldn't push your luck.
Under Shen Tang's murderous gaze, Liu Min lowered his head, cold sweat dripping down his back.
The army set off from the other end of the valley under the cover of night, the only sounds along the way being the clatter of hooves, footsteps, and the metallic clang of cold armor. Shen Tang sat high on the back of a motorcycle, his brows furrowed, his expression filled with unwavering worry and anxiety.
because--
Not long ago, Lin Feng found her.
He asked her for ten guards.
Upon hearing the request, Shen Tang knew what she wanted to do.
"Do you have a way to find the target?"
Lin Feng nodded.
How confident are you?
Lin Feng said, "Fifty percent."
The reason why Gu Chi and the others were unable to find the main body was not only because the body of the Sparrow Head was isolated from the energy of heaven and earth, but also because the body belonged to a third party, while what they were looking for was the Sparrow Head, so ordinary search words were ineffective.
Shen Tang said, "That's too low. I can send someone else."
Lin Feng insisted: "The student wants to kill him with his own hands!"
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Sheng came over and said worriedly, "The army only has seven days' worth of rations. Even with the lord's support, it can only last another three to five days. If you can't get back in time..."
Shen Tang raised her hand to stop him.
He said, "That's not a problem."
The army's food supplies can be replenished from the conquered tribes.
There is plenty of time.
She was worried about Lin Feng.
If her whereabouts were accidentally exposed, she might lose her life to Shiwu, given the small number of people around her.
Lin Feng's answer to this was very firm.
"The student is the prized disciple of the 'Three Outstanding Students of Chu State'."
"My teacher gained fame in the northern desert when he was young, and I wish to emulate him!"
Hehe, my buddy Tao Tao has finally released a new book!
