"General Kan, I only asked you to recruit some middle-aged men, why did you tie up all those old, weak, women and children?"
"These people can't go to the battlefield, so tying them up is useless. We might as well send them all back..."
Kan Dadao laughed: "Strategist, you're mistaken. How can these people be useless? The imperial court is currently tracking our whereabouts. If we are discovered by the imperial army, these people will come in handy."
"This is the time for us to preserve our strength. Rather than wasting the lives of thousands of soldiers, we should just throw these civilians to the imperial court. They can't possibly kill them all, can they?"
Kan Da Dao laughed heartily, but the strategist opposite him felt his heart sink.
What is there that the imperial court wouldn't dare to do? Now that General Wei Wu has blatantly challenged the authority of the government, those people can't wait to get rid of him. How could they possibly care about the lives of the old, weak, women and children?
The imposing general in front of them clearly knew this, yet he still allowed his men to run rampant, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities wherever they went. This was no army; it was a large den of bandits!
This General Kan has long forgotten his original intentions. How is what he is doing any different from the previous dynasties?
The strategist was filled with regret, but now he had nowhere left to retreat!
"General, General, Jiang Dashan has returned with his men!" A soldier knelt outside and shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this voice, the strategist clenched his fist.
He was the one who came up with the idea of occupying Qingzhou provincial capital, but given the current situation, he would rather Kan Dadao stay in this place forever!
"Let them in, and quickly prepare some good wine and meat. They are my saviors!" Kan Dadao immediately became excited.
Aside from the strategist in front of him, Kan Da Dao was naturally trusted by the Jiang brothers.
He was seriously wounded on the battlefield and collapsed on the roadside on his way back. No one was willing to help him. It was only thanks to the help of the Chiang brothers that he was able to return home by chance.
"General, my brother and I have failed your expectations!" Jiang Dashan knelt down before the mighty general as soon as he arrived.
He recounted his previous plans and the reasons why the prefect of Qingzhou Province was so unwilling to open the city gates.
"General, the prefect of Qingzhou is too shrewd and won't let any refugees in. We simply can't complete our mission!"
Jiang Le nodded rapidly behind him, glancing furtively at the imposing general's neck.
"It's alright, it's good that you're back. I'll have the strategist think of another way."
Despite his displeasure, Kan Da Dao did not blame him.
These are the Jiang brothers who saved his life. If he is so harsh on his saviors, how will he attract more talent in the future?
Kan Dadao also had his own little schemes. He had someone bring chairs for the two brothers to sit on, and then turned to look at the strategist.
"Strategist, do you have a better plan?"
The strategist's face was serious, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's alright that the task wasn't completed.
"General, Qingzhou is probably already on guard. We need to consider this matter carefully."
“Yes, we should take this into consideration!” Jiang Dashan nodded in agreement.
Stop thinking about Qingzhou, or those two will immediately turn into assassins!
