I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1412 Order to Move South

"Good! Go and prepare now, select the elite troops, and set off for Yinshan Pass early tomorrow morning. Make sure the handover is completed within ten days."

"As for Baihu, I will have Jingni send a secret message immediately, instructing him to rush to Wuzhou's aid overnight."

Su Ye patted him on the shoulder.

"This subordinate will take care of it immediately!"

Xuanwu bowed again, turned and strode away, the sound of clashing armor gradually fading into the distance.

Su Ye watched his retreating figure, then looked at Wuzhou on the map, and finally felt a weight lifted from her heart.

As both being at the pinnacle of Qi, the White Tiger's arrival would surely alleviate Wuzhou's immediate crisis. As long as the White Tiger could hold off Shenni, Sun Wukong and his companions would be free to deal with Zhujiuyin and Dijiang, and the situation in Wuzhou would soon be stabilized, perhaps even breaking the deadlock.

"My lord, shall we send the secret message now? By carrier pigeon or by fast horse?"

Seeing that Su Ye had made the arrangements, Jing Ni said softly.

"Use carrier pigeons and send two more elite assassins from the Luo Wang organization to follow on horseback to ensure that Bai Hu receives the message."

"In addition, send a secret letter to Sun Wukong and the other three, telling them that the White Tiger is about to come to their aid, and instructing them to hold their ground for a while and not to take the initiative to fight, let alone fight to the death with Shen Ni, Zhu Jiuyin and Di Jiang."

Su Ye gave the instructions.

"Yes."

Jingni responded and turned to make the arrangements.

"and many more."

"Send another secret letter to Wei Qing, instructing him to prepare provisions and weapons for the Imperial Guards in advance. After I finish dealing with the Yangwu Pass matter, I will return to Qiandu in three days. After we meet up, we will immediately head to the border of Luzhou."

Su Ye called out to her and added.

"Here."

Jingni nodded and quickly left.

The council chamber fell silent once more. Su Ye gazed at the crisscrossing lines on the map and sighed inwardly.

In this chaotic world, various forces are vying for power, and one wrong step can lead to utter ruin. Now that the northern border has just been stabilized, Wuzhou is in turmoil again, and undercurrents are also surging in the western and southern borders. It's truly a case of pressing down one gourd only to have another float up.

Meanwhile, not long after, in the northern frontier where Cangzhou and Hengzhou meet, the wind from the Yinshan Pass carried the unique chill of the grasslands, swirling sand and gravel across the endless camps.

This is the core of Su Ye's northern frontier defense line, bordering Cang and Qi prefectures to the west, and Yu and Qian prefectures to the west. It defends against Mongol and Manchu tribes to the north and protects the southern Hengzhou hinterland to the south. The continuous camps stretch for dozens of miles, and the "white" character on the flags flutters in the wind. This is the garrison of Bai Hu and his White Tiger Cavalry.

In the camp, the shouts of soldiers training mingled with the neighing of warhorses, exuding a sharp, ready-to-go energy.

The White Tiger Cavalry, Su Ye's current elite force, has undergone years of reorganization and is now vastly different from what it once was. The light cavalry, clad in light armor, are primarily focused on mobile raids, their lances as sharp as frost. The heavy cavalry, on the other hand, are fully armored, their armor crafted from refined iron from Hengzhou, covered with a layer of non-slip animal hide, and even their hooves are shod with iron feet, making them like mobile steel fortresses in a charge. According to military regulations, the cavalry must practice three formations daily: "charge," "flanking maneuver," and "joint attack." Even now, without war, they continue without fail. This is the remarkable quality of Su Ye's army; even while guarding the frontier, they never slacken their efforts.

Behind all this orderly progress lies the all-encompassing intelligence support of the Luo Wang network.

The network under Su Ye's command is no longer what it was when it was first established. Now it has woven an airtight intelligence network in all the prefectures and counties under Su Ye's control, and has even established many secret strongholds in the remaining territory of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Some of these strongholds were disguised as teahouses and taverns, while others were hidden in post stations and warehouses. The spies disguised themselves as merchants, porters, and refugees, and every day they would collect military intelligence, civilian information, and the movements of foreign tribes from various places. These information was then transmitted layer by layer through carrier pigeons, fast horses, and even underground tunnels, and finally gathered in Jing Ni's hands before being forwarded to Su Ye.

The fact that this transfer order could be delivered to the northern frontier so quickly is the best proof of the efficiency of the Luo Wang (a military intelligence network).

The order was issued from Yangwu Pass, and after passing through many outposts within the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was relayed layer by layer, avoiding the cavalry of the foreign tribes on the grasslands. It traveled day and night to reach Yinshan Pass, taking no more than five days, which was three days faster than ordinary military reports.

This is the source of Su Ye's confidence in making strategic plans—intelligence must come first to win a decisive victory.

At this moment, within this sprawling camp, in the White Tiger's large tent, candlelight flickered, illuminating the entire space. The tent was simply furnished, with only a command table covered with animal hides and a wooden rack full of weapons. The most conspicuous item was the White Tiger World-Slaying Spear leaning against the corner of the table.

At this moment, Baihu was dressed in a white outfit with a wide belt around his waist, revealing clearly defined muscles in his forearms. He was focused on cleaning the Baihu Slaughtering World Spear, using a fine cloth dipped in grease to wipe every part of the spear, not even missing the crevices at the tip.

Since Su Ye transferred him to guard the northern frontier several years ago, this gun has accompanied him in resisting countless raids by foreign tribes from the south, witnessing his days and nights on the frontier.

Although Baihu's loyalty to Su Ye never waned, after initially gaining fame, Su Ye had always ordered him to guard the northern border, where he silently guarded for several years!

Although Baihu never complained in his heart, seeing Wang Xiangyang, Kong Xuan and others who later joined Su Ye's command, and even Zhuque, Xuanwu and others from the same batch as him, following Su Ye in his campaigns to quell rebellions in various states and becoming famous throughout the Tianwu Continent, it would be a lie to say that Baihu was not envious. Baihu's heart was not without ripples.

Who wouldn't want to make a name for themselves on the battlefield instead of guarding this monotonous frontier day after day, dealing with petty skirmishes with foreign tribes?
But his loyalty to Su Ye never wavered in the slightest. Su Ye entrusted him with this important defense line in the northern frontier, which was a sign of his trust in him.

Baihu knew that the northern border was the shield of the Central Plains. Once this place was lost, the iron cavalry of the foreign tribes could drive straight in, plunder the people, and trample the land. At that time, the soldiers in the rear would be attacked from both sides.

Therefore, over the years, he has never complained and has been diligently training the army and strengthening the defenses, turning the Yinshan Pass into an impregnable fortress.

Even during the Spring Festival, he never left the camp and remained at his post. This was a soldier's duty and his way of repaying Su Ye's kindness.

"General! Great news! The lord's transfer order has arrived!"

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the tent, accompanied by excited shouts. Tian Zaibiao, dressed in silver armor, lifted the curtain and entered, clutching a sealed parchment in his hand. His face was full of barely suppressed excitement, and he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Tian Zaibiao was originally a spearman under Li Jing, with exquisite spear skills. Later, he was transferred to Baihu's command as a deputy general. Over the years, he had been guarding the northern frontier with Baihu and was eager to go south to the Central Plains to show his skills on the real battlefield.

Baihu paused in wiping the gun, looked up at Tian Zaibiao, his face still expressionless, but his eyes held a hint of inquiry.

He gently placed the White Tiger World-Slaying Spear against the wooden frame, and the spear shaft collided with the frame with a muffled "thud".

"General, good news! Our lord has ordered us to lead the White Tiger Cavalry south to Wuzhou to reinforce Commander Xue Rengui!"

Tian Zaibiao strode to the desk, handed over the parchment, and spoke urgently.
