Facing Liu Rushuang's strange look, Xia He couldn't help but frowned, with a bit of concern in his tone:
"Miss Liu, are your eyes uncomfortable? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rushuang shook her head gently, her eyes still complicated.
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke:
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Xia He was stunned.
I slept well, but my waist hurts!
But he certainly wouldn't say that, he smiled and said in a relaxed tone:
"Is it okay? Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Liu Rushuang did not answer, but just lowered her eyes slightly, turned around and walked straight into the big tent.
Xia He looked at her back, feeling a little confused.
"What's going on... Are you concerned about my sleep quality?"
But she quickly shook her head, thinking that perhaps she was just a little tired due to the intense fighting in recent days.
He didn't think any more and turned around and followed in.
As soon as he entered the big tent, Xia He noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Zhao Tiangang's military order has been passed down, saying that the main force of the White Robe Army has been wiped out.
Next, the reserve battalion must completely wipe out the remnants of the White Robe Army within five days.
The army on the front line must take advantage of the situation to capture Youzhou and must not allow any hidden dangers to occur in the rear.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
"The main force of the White Robe Army... was really destroyed?"
Tie Zhan's eyes widened, his voice filled with doubt.
"Aren't the main forces on the front line attacking the city? How come they still have the energy to wipe out the White Robe Army?"
Could it be that Zhao Tiangang is a military genius?
This is not right!
Xia He stood aside, feeling a little strange.
"Let us wipe out the remnants of the White Robe Army. Does that mean... we won't attack the city?"
Tie Zhan was a little anxious.
"So, this achievement has nothing to do with us?"
Xia He thought for a moment, then looked up at the crowd. He saw that everyone was looking at him, as if waiting for his opinion.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject.
"Is there any movement at the mouth of the canyon?"
Someone replied: "No abnormalities have been found so far."
"Nothing unusual? That's strange..."
Xia He was originally worried that Youzhou would really collude with the Northern Barbarians.
The barbarian army will go around behind them, block the canyon, and completely cut off their retreat.
But now there is no movement at the entrance of the canyon. Am I worrying too much?
He sighed secretly, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and immediately gave the order:
"In this case, the reserve battalion will set out immediately to Shuishou Mountain to wipe out the remaining White Robe Army!"
Everyone took orders and took quick action.
However, when Xia He led the preparatory camp to Shuishou Mountain Pass, he unexpectedly met Senior Sister Zhu.
She was followed by two thousand soldiers and horses, with a majestic aura.
Seeing this, Xia He hurried over, with a look of surprise on his face:
"Sister Zhu, why are you here?"
Senior Sister Zhu smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Why, don't you want to see me?"
Xia He waved his hands quickly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone:
"Why don't I miss you? I miss you so much, but I didn't expect to meet you here. It's such a pleasant surprise."
"You're so funny... Why are you here? Where's Zhao Tiangang?"
"Zhao Tiangang?"
From Senior Sister Zhu's words, Xia He finally learned the reason.
The main force of the White Robe Army was not destroyed by Zhao Tiangang, but was defeated by Senior Sister Zhu who transferred three thousand soldiers from Mingzhou.
After listening to this, Xia He suddenly realized and couldn't help but sneered:
"I was wondering how Zhao Tiangang could do this! It turns out that he deliberately asked our reserve battalion to clean up the mess. He clearly didn't want us to take the credit for the siege."
He paused, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"The rebellion of the two great families in Youzhou is a major threat in the eyes of the imperial court, while the White Robe Army is only rumored to be a rebellion by the common people. It is clear at a glance who has made the greater contribution."
"If we really win a great victory here, I'm afraid we won't even be able to enter Youzhou City. If we report it to the court, we will only be given the title of 'assisting from the side' at best."
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Zhu frowned, with a hint of anger flashing in her eyes:
"This Zhao Tiangang is so petty! In order to gain credit, he even ignored the overall situation!"
She snorted coldly, then said seriously,
"However, Xia He, don't underestimate the White Robe Army. Although there are only about 3,000 of them left, most of them are disciples from several nearby rebellious sects. They are quite powerful and are definitely not comparable to ordinary civilians."
Xia He was shocked when he heard this:
"Disciples from a sect? Which sects?"
Senior Sister Zhu said in a deep voice: "Among them is the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect."
"Wind and Thunder Sword Sect?!" Xia He was stunned, and Li Wu's figure immediately appeared in his mind.
He murmured in a low voice:
"No wonder... Li Wu killed Eunuch Chang, which was tantamount to treason. Naturally, the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect could not escape punishment. It is not surprising that they simply rebelled."
Senior Sister Zhu nodded:
“Not only that, most of the other sects that have merged into the White Robe Army also have close ties with the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect. As the commander-in-chief, Zhao Tiangang has known about this for a long time.”
Xia He suddenly realized.
"He knows that we can't defeat these people in a short time, so he just wants us to hold them back?"
"We will turn around and deal with him after we capture Youzhou. By then, all the credit will go to him, and we won't even get a bowl of soup."
After hearing this, Xia He felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but want to curse:
"This Zhao Tiangang is really not a good guy!"
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Senior Sister Zhu.
"Since the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect is the leader, we only need to kill the leader Li Wu and his son. The rest of the mob will naturally not be able to hold out for long."
