Chapter 764 Decision
Dejected, Wu Siyuan returned to his residence and looked at the intelligence report in his hand over and over again.

In the end, he burst into silent laughter.

The laughter was shrill, piercing through the vast snowfield like the sound of a night owl.

Several subordinates rushed over upon hearing the news.

Upon entering, they were all startled to see the striker's crazed expression.

"General," Jiang Xuesong and Cheng Zijin hurried over, looking him up and down anxiously, "Has something happened?"

Wu Siyuan seemed not to hear, and continued to laugh maniacally.

After a long while, perhaps having laughed enough, he gradually stopped and forced himself to sit up straight.

"Everyone, this is the latest news from Baekje..."

Exhausted, Wu Siyuan raised his hand and weakly pointed to the intelligence on the table.

"Let's take a look."

Jiang Xuesong and his group were taken aback, only then noticing a piece of intelligence on the table, and quickly began to read it at a glance.

Soon their expressions mirrored Wu Siyuan's, filled with mixed emotions.

Fuck!
Jiang Xuesong has always had a bad temper.

He suddenly slammed his fist heavily on the table in front of him, making a dull thud that startled everyone.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

"General, how much blood have we shed and how many brothers have died over the years to drive the invading Japanese pirates back into the sea? We thought the entire peninsula would finally be at peace."

"The results of it……"

As he spoke, Jiang Xuesong raised his hand, pointing eastward with gritted teeth.

He already had a long scar on his face, and when he got excited, he looked even more ferocious, sending chills down one's spine.

Judging from his appearance, if Li Chengde were in front of him, Jiang Xuesong would probably poke his nose with a finger.

"The capital is full of old thieves and spoiled brats who enjoy the protection of the city. They know nothing except how to eat, drink, defecate, live a life of debauchery, and exploit the people. That's not all, but they are all petty and twisted."

"We fought for so long and recovered so much territory. Even if we didn't achieve anything, we certainly put in a lot of effort. But they just won't let us go."

"However, Yun Chui has a saying: 'If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will.' We don't bother arguing with those good-for-nothings. Fine, let's leave."

"But what now?"

Jiang Xuesong sighed and slumped his shoulders in despair.

They disdained to associate with the people of the capital, so the princes of the Li family started causing trouble for themselves.

It's one thing to fight, but given the abilities of those princes, who knows how long it will take to determine a winner.

In the end, it's the ordinary people on the peninsula who suffer.

"Exactly." The others nodded in agreement.

“General,” a group of people looked intently at Wu Siyuan, “the country has become like this, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

Even if not for themselves, they should think about their families who remain on the peninsula.

When they decided to leave Baekje, they all traveled alone to prevent the news from leaking out.

Fortunately, for the sake of his reputation, Li Chengde did not pursue the matter against Wu Siyuan and his family after learning of their disappearance; instead, he deliberately protected them.

But now that the princes are fighting each other and have fallen out, it's hard to say whether they will be caught in the crossfire.

"General, as long as you give the order, we brothers will not flinch, whether it's going through fire or water."

“That’s right. Let’s fight back first, and after we’ve crushed those sissies from the Li family, we can come back and fight alongside His Majesty Tai Xi.”

With those princes' mediocre military skills, Wu Siyuan could easily crush them.

"That sounds nice," someone suddenly spoke up, "but we have no men, no weapons, what are we going to fight with?"

The room fell silent immediately after he said that.

When Wu Siyuan decided to flee, he only took his personal guards and a few loyal subordinates, including Jiang Xuesong.

Basically, there are only a few dozen people inside and outside the house in front of us.

With this small force, they might be able to take down a small village.

To think that one could defeat the princes of the Yi family or even conquer the capital of Baekje would be wishful thinking.

Hey~
In an instant, sighs of regret filled the air.

Jiang Xuesong and Cheng Zijin exchanged a glance, and seeing that Wu Siyuan did not voice any objection for a long time, they felt much more at ease.

He glanced around and tentatively asked, "General, what do General Xia and General Wei say?" If the Northern Pass or the Starfall Legion were willing to help, they were confident they could fight back.

However, ever since Nei Masato's sneak attack, the North Customs has suffered heavy losses, and the area inside the customs can be said to have been completely destroyed from beginning to end.

Although the North Pass had been recovered at this time, the number of generals and soldiers was far from sufficient.

Even after Wu Siyuan and his men came from Baekje, they were basically recruiting and training new soldiers.

As for when these new recruits will be able to be put to use, it's unclear in the short term.

Fortunately, there was another force in Beihai Pass: Wei Junqian's Starfall Legion.

If this renowned army were to turn around and enter Baekje, it would probably terrify a large number of people just by setting up its formation.

Huh~
After remaining silent for a long time, Wu Siyuan seemed to have made a decision, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

He looked up and stared silently at the map hanging on the wall. After a long while, he finally spoke.

"Don't worry about the troop strength, everyone go back and make preparations."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked out the window, coldly gazing at the vast snowscape, as if he were seeing his hometown.

"When spring arrives and flowers bloom, we will go home and restore peace to the people!"

The people in the room couldn't help but exchange glances, their hearts pounding with excitement.

"Yes!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The Western Liang Grassland, Feima Slope.

The Yan Hui Legion's garrison.

Tian Hongyan stood at the window, silently looking out.

This year, the grasslands have had another mild winter.

Not to mention the overwhelming snow, you don't even need to wear extra layers of cotton clothing when going out.

But for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart.

The strategists and deputy generals behind him all looked embarrassed.

They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

On the table in front of them was a newspaper that had just been received.

The newspaper published news of the upgrade of a number of generals' mansions, including Wei Junqian's General of Chariots and Cavalry.

Sure enough, among all these generals' residences, there was no name of their superior, namely the General of the Cavalry.

Ugh.

Someone secretly sighed.

Yun Chui has five major legions, three border passes, and a total of eight generals' mansions.

Apart from Yanchui Fortress, three were promoted to the rank of Earl, two others were abolished and their entire families were wiped out, and two others remained untouched.

Among them was their General of the Cavalry's residence.

In addition, all eight legion commanders or gatekeepers, except for Feng Haohan of the Central Legion and Huang Shitao of the North Pass who were already dead, including Lu Fuhai of the East Sea Barrier, had their military ranks promoted by one to three levels.

Only Tian Hongyan's military rank not only didn't rise, but actually dropped by one level.

This stark contrast is truly embarrassing.

The group silently watched the attacker ahead.

Although Tian Hongyan didn't say anything to blame them, they all felt quite uncomfortable.

"General," a strategist glanced at the map on the wall and tentatively asked, "Our scouts have discovered that the Blood Moon tribe has a mine that is currently being mined, not far from our base. Should we send some brothers to give them a good thrashing?"

For no other reason than to quickly find something to do, and at the same time, to accumulate some military merits for the soldiers.

After a long while, Tian Hongyan finally turned around.

He glanced silently at the strategist who had spoken.

What are you all standing there for?

"If you have nothing to do, go and inspect the drills, barracks and logistics. Check the drills, see if any soldiers have not been given cotton clothes and quilts, and whether all kinds of supplies are complete."

"In the dead of winter, if this causes any unrest below, don't blame me for holding you all accountable!"

The group looked at each other in surprise, then quickly agreed and went out the door.
