Evil of all ages

Chapter 161 How did this person cause such a big mess?

"My lord, this is indeed the result of our people's investigation."

"Because the other side blocked the news, and our spies were assembled on a temporary basis."

How did Kowloon Village manage to capture three county towns in such a short time?

"We cannot know for the time being."

Yin Tianying replied.

"Keep investigating. I need to know all their movements."

Upon receiving the order, Yin Tianying withdrew.

Di Qingtian glanced at the map and then looked up at his friend.

"One person's thinking is limited. You can share any suggestions or ideas you have."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zi and the others couldn't help but look at each other. They were rough men; how could they possibly understand matters of military campaigns and warfare?

Since Di Qingtian had already asked, they could only say whatever came to mind.

Feng Zizai: "How many troops do we have?"

Di Qingtian: "The navy, the garrison, and all the officers and soldiers in the city total 20,000 men."

“I have already issued the order to summon troops, but all the bandit strongholds have rebelled, and the number of soldiers in all the prefectures and counties is tight.”

"I'm afraid they can only muster another 10,000 troops to support us at most."

Feng Zizai: "Why don't we take advantage of the fact that they haven't gathered together and lead our troops out of the city?"

"Should we take down Kowloon Stronghold or Red Bright Stronghold first to weaken their strength?"

Di Qingtian: "No, Jiulongzhai only has more than 5,000 bandits, but they were able to take over three county towns in one night. There's too much going on here."

"We know nothing about them, and to launch a rash attack is a cardinal sin in military strategy."

"We can't deal with Chiming Village either, and we can't even take our troops out of the city."

“They are all heading towards our county town, and they are vaguely forming an encirclement around us. If we send troops out of the city, we will easily be surrounded and trapped.”

Jiang Wei, the Water Ghost: "There are more bandits than soldiers in Yunzhou, so we can't get help."

"Then we'll send people to seek help from places outside Yunzhou. As long as we have enough troops, this crisis will be resolved."

Di Qingtian: "I have already sent people to ask for help, but there is no time."

“Even if we send troops from outside Yunzhou to provide support, it will take them at least ten days to arrive.”

"As for the speed at which the Eastern Merchant Army and other bandit strongholds are gathering, they will be at the city gates as early as tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow."

"With the defeated soldiers they've subdued along the way, their forces will only keep growing, and in the end, we don't even know how many troops they'll have."

"The disparity in troop strength is too great; it will be very difficult for us to defend this city."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zi and the others fell silent.

They were just rough men; the problems they could think of, Di Qingtian had already thought of long ago.

When asked for their opinions, they all felt that their suggestions were superfluous.

Of all the people here, Huang Taichu is the most relaxed.

Playing with Baymax and snacking, I was having a great time.

The two women are not here.

Wu Yujiao was sensible and worried that her presence would interfere with Di Qingtian's work.

He Jiahan did this to avoid suspicion.

Just then, Yin Tianyong ran over with a piece of paper in his hand.

"My lord, when the servants were cleaning your study, they found an extra piece of paper on your desk."

"I've read the contents above; it was written to you by the Azure Dragon Society, sir."

Yin Tianyong hurriedly handed the paper to Di Qingtian with both hands.

Upon hearing that it was written to him by the Azure Dragon Society, Di Qingtian immediately took it and read it.

After reading the above, Di Qingtian immediately looked up at Li Xunhuan, who was teasing the cat.

He stepped forward and handed the paper to Li Xunhuan.

Huang Taichu certainly knew what was on it, but he still pretended to take it and read it.

Di Qingtian looked at Li Xunhuan, and now he finally understood why the more than 5,000 men of Jiulong Village were able to capture three county towns in a short period of time.

Because all five thousand people in Kowloon Walled City were martial artists.

That's right, they were all martial artists.

There were more than 5,000 people.

Why are they all martial artists? Because they have all cultivated the Ten Thousand Ghosts Transformation Technique.

The power gained by trading lifespan and vitality.

It's clear that Kowloon Walled City has been taken over by the Demonic Cult. The fact that they were able to capture three county towns so easily was due to the Demonic Cult acting as inside agents, along with so many martial artists.

This was intelligence sent by the Azure Dragon Society, and he chose to believe it without hesitation.

It wasn't that he trusted the Azure Dragon Society; it was that he feared the Azure Dragon Society more than anyone else. Yet, he inexplicably sensed that the Azure Dragon Society didn't want him to die.

He figured the Azure Dragon Society was crazy, and he certainly wouldn't be grateful to them.

The debt of embezzling military funds hasn't been settled yet.

Huang Taichu glanced at it briefly and then handed the paper to Feng Zi and the others, who were full of curiosity about its contents.

Continuing to pet the cat

"Are they coming for you?"

When Di Qingtian saw that Li Xunhuan remained so calm after reading the contents of the paper, he admired Li Xunhuan's skill and courage.

At the same time, the doubts in his heart were also resolved.

No wonder Kowloon Walled City and Red Bright Walled City responded to the Eastern Merchants' army without that batch of military funds, and even all the bandit dens and bandits came down the mountain to join them.

So it's all because of Li Xunhuan!

"This is not obvious."

"Since I, the Vulcan Gatling gun, was born, I have helped so many people find peace."

“Countless forces have tried to recruit me, to get me to join them, or to get their hands on the Gatling gun.”

"I'm used to being free, so naturally I refused them all."

"Other forces are fine, but the people of the Demonic Sect are too arrogant and have a strong sense of superiority. They always talk to people with their noses in their noses."

“They turn hostile as soon as I refuse.”

"There was no other way, so I had to use the truth to shoot them down."

"It's just that the people in the Demonic Cult are all sick; after killing one batch, another batch comes."

"I don't know how many members of the demonic sect I've killed along the way."

“They hate me to the core. Knowing I’m here, it’s normal for them to control the Kowloon Walled Village people to go down the mountain and assist the Eastern Merchants’ army.”

"Chiming Village and other bandit strongholds were probably terrified by my reputation as a bandit leader, which led me from the light bandit zone to the medium bandit zone."

"I'm currently in a heavily infiltrated area, and they're panicking because they think I'm here for them."

"Now that they have the chance to kill me, they will definitely come down the mountain and join us."

Huang Taichu said casually and naturally.

Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian was unsure whether inviting Li Xunhuan for help was the right or wrong decision.

They thought that without that batch of military funds, Kowloon Walled Village and Red Bright Village would ignore the Eastern Merchants' army.

Who would have thought that because of Li Xunhuan alone, not only did the bandits from Kowloon Village and Chiming Village come down the mountain, but bandits from other bandit dens also came down the mountain together.

He truly never imagined that one person could cause such a huge mess.

"Aren't you scared? You should know you're Di Qingtian."

Huang Taichu smiled.

"So what if I'm Di Qingtian? Shouldn't I be afraid?"

“I am not alone. I have countless people behind me. They are coming for you and me. Once this county is breached by them…”

"They will be unstoppable in their conquest of other prefectures and cities, causing the entire Yunzhou region to fall completely."

“At that time, the people of the entire state will live in purgatory.”

Unlike Li Xunhuan, Di Qingtian was not carefree; he carried a heavy burden.

"You, who are supposed to be a good person for the country and its people, really put pressure on yourself. But who told you to be Di Qingtian?"

"Since I caused this trouble and you asked me for help, I'll help you sort this out."

"Perfect, I think killing over 20,000 people isn't enough."

"The more they come and the more they die, the more famous I will become."
