Chapter 794: Seizing the Troops

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“There are actually traces of the sudden rise of the Northern Yan army. For the past two years, the Northern Yan has been secretly acc.u.mulating wealth. A mysterious person provided endless wealth to the Northern Yan, so the Northern Yan dares to raise troops wantonly.”

“Mysterious man?”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. If not for the fact that she had all the money from the White Lotus Society, she would have thought that the White Lotus Society was funding Northern Yan behind her back.

She said thoughtfully, “Someone wants the Great Zhou to start a war with

Northern Yan? Purpose? The fisherman benefits from the fight?”

Su MO nodded. “We can’t rule out that possibility.”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Northern Yan hid it really well. We all thought that Northern Yan was so bold as to get close to the Western Jin, but if it has already lasted for two years, it has nothing to do with getting close to the Western Jin. No, it’s still related. In order to hide the truth, they deliberately pretended to get close to the Western Jin. They tried to please the Western Jin Emperor and sent the Princess of Northern Yan to the Western Jin to reconcile. It made us think that Northern Yan’s backing is strong because it has the backing of Western Jin.”

In this way, everything that Northern Yan did could be traced.

Su MO paused for a moment. “It’s true that it wants to hide the origin of its wealth and wants to cozy up to the Western Jin. Northern Yan probably understands that what it did was to ask a tiger for its skin. After dealing with the Great Zhou, in order to prevent the other party from counterattacking, Northern Yan will pull the Western Jin to its side first.”

“Why can’t it be the Western Jin?” Qin Canglan asked.

“That’s possible.” Su MO looked at his sister. “You’ve seen the Western Jin Emperor. What’s his personality?”

Su Xiaoxiao recalled and shook her head. “I can’t see through him. I only know that he cherishes talent. I don’t think it’s the Western Jin. Wei Qing is a strategist of the Western Jin. Every move of the Western Jin can’t be hidden from him. He won’t provide financial support to Northern Yan.”

Su MO nodded. “No matter what, we have to get rid of Northern Yan’s ambition.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed with this.

Northern Yan had killed so many sons of the Wei family, harmed so many soldiers of the Great Zhou, burned, killed, and plundered countless commoners at the border. These debts had to be paid!

Qin Canglan looked at Su Mo. “You said that you found two pieces of information. What’s the second piece of information?”

Su MO said seriously, “Helian Ye has gathered 100,000 troops in Feng City.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “Didn’t Helian Ye go to Wu Town? We heard it with our own ears that night.”

Su MO said, “Wu Town was fake news released by Helian Ye. There’s indeed a someone who looks like Helian Ye there, but this was a subst.i.tute.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Is Wei Ting going to miss? If it’s a 100,000-strong army, will it be troublesome to break through the Broken North Pa.s.s?”

When Su MO spoke to her, he subconsciously softened his voice. “Speaking of which, there’s good news. The snow outside Feng City has sealed the mountain and blocked the path; 100,000 soldiers cant get through. They can’t come to

Broken North Pa.s.s for the time being.”

Qin Canglan took out the map and spread it on the table.

He pointed at a forest outside the southern gate of the barbican city. “Northern Yan camped here. Now, the commander of Northern Yan is Tuoba Lie. He brought 100,000 troops. 20,000 of them were involved in the siege of Zi Town a few days ago. 10,000 were killed by the small Crimson Shadow Army, and the remaining 8,000 fled. When these 8,000 troops converged with Tuoba Lie’s, it was 90,000 troops. If you count Helian Ye’s… that’s almost 200,000 troops.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the map and asked, “Grandpa, how many troops do we have?”

Qin Canglan said, “Your Crimson Shadow Army has 10,000. Mo’er’s troops in Zi Town adds another 10,000. In addition to the 20,000 Qin family troops that are coming, there are 40,000.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “How many troops does Leng Kui have?”

Qin Canglan frowned and said, “50,000, but we can’t count on it. He won’t take the initiative to start a war with Northern Yan.”

It was already good enough that Leng Kui did not turn around and hit his own people.

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and chuckled. “A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Emperor Jing Xuan is the same. He’s as cowardly against Northern Yan as he is ruthless against the Nanyang King’s family.”

“Marshal!”

Liu Ren’s anxious voice sounded outside the tent.

“Come in,” Qin Canglan said.

Liu Ren entered with a small note and cupped his hands to greet the three of them. He came to Qin Canglan and said with a complicated expression, “I just received a letter from a pigeon. The Qin family’s army encountered an avalanche near Jia County.”

“How are the casualties?” Qin Canglan asked.

Liu Ren said, “General Tong Ke discovered it in time and led the army back to avoid it. There were not many casualties. General Tong Ke himself was injured in saving the warhorse.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do they have anything to eat?”

Liu Ren was stunned for a moment before saying, “Yes, they brought food.”

Liu Ren handed the note from the Qin family’s army to Qin Canglan.

After Qin Canglan read it, he gave it to Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo.

After the two of them finished reading, they fell silent.

Just now, they were still glad that Helian Ye’s army was trapped in the mountains and could not come over. In the end, their reinforcements had also been sealed off by the snow. They really did not know what to say.

Su MO narrowed his eyes and said, “Looks like they’ll be trapped for a few days. ”

Qin Canglan looked at the map again. “Our plan is about to change.”

They could not wait for the Qin family’s army to arrive because Helian Ye’s 100,000 -strong army was also working hard to leave the mountain. Perhaps before the Qin family’s army arrived, Helian Ye’s 100,000-strong army would reach first.

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the barbican on the map. “The only one with military strength now is Leng Kui.”

Qin Canglan nodded. “We can only seize Leng Kui’s troops.”

It was not easy to s.n.a.t.c.h these troops. After all, they were Leng Kui’s direct descendants. However, no matter how difficult it was, they had to s.n.a.t.c.h them. Life and death were in front of them, and the commoners were behind. They could not be reduced to p.a.w.ns of the Northern Yan.

“Xiaoxiao, your Crimson Shadow Army will be the main force against Leng Kui.

Follow me to the barbican later.’

“Okay!”

“Liu Ren, I’ll leave you 6,000 troops to defend Zi Town.”

“Yes!”

“Mo’er, between you and Jing Yi, who will go to Jia County?”

Jing Yi walked in. “Su MO is going.”

Su MO said, “Hand game?”

Su MO lost.

Su MO looked at Qin Canglan resentfully. “Grandpa, why don’t you go to Jia County?”

He wanted to attack Leng Kui with his sister.

Qin Canglan was speechless.

In the end, Wuhu, the working bird were forced to fly to Jia County. Wuhu exploded and its small wings were fanning until smoke came out. “I might not be human, but you’re real dogs!”

Leng Kui could not be trusted. In order to prevent him from cooperating with Northern Yan, Qin Canglan and Su MO led 4,000 troops to the southern gate of the barbican and hid in the col on both sides.

The Northern Yan army was stationed ten miles away.

Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi brought 10,000 Crimson Shadow soldiers to the city and knocked on the east gate of the barbican.

“Who are you?”

On the city tower, the archers aimed at Su Xiaoxiao’s army.

Su Xiaoxiao rode on the horse. The cold wind blew across her eyes, and her expression was calm as snow. “I want to see Leng Kui.”

The guard general who had spoken just now sneered. “Who do you think you are? You actually dare to call the general by his name! You’re rebels from Wan City, right? Su MO is really cowardly! You can’t even eliminate a mere group of rebels! Forget it! Your good days are over if you fall into the hands of us brothers today! Men! Fire arrows!”

With his order, a rain of arrows fell from the sky like a waterfall, shooting towards Su Xiaoxiao’s red shadow army.

However, just as they were about to shoot the army into a hedgehog, the army raised their shields in a well-trained manner. Their uniform movements seemed to have been trained thousands of times, and in an instant, they formed an indestructible iron wall.

Clang, clang, clang!

The rain of arrows landed on the shield, making clanging sounds. The army under the shield was majestic and unharmed.

The guard general was stunned.

How could there be such defense? Not a single arrow hit their target?

Wei Xun shouted provocatively, “Thank you for lending me the arrows! I was just worried about not having any arrows to use!”

The guard general trembled and gritted his teeth. “Shoot her! Shoot her! I’ll do it myself!”

He s.n.a.t.c.hed a soldier’s bow and arrow and aimed it at Su Xiaoxiao.

However, before he could let go of the bowstring, Jing Yi flew up and picked up a spear in the soldier’s hand with his toes.. He caught it with his bare hands in midair and flipped in the air, suddenly shooting at the guard general, piercing him and nailing him to the wall behind him!
