Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 361 The Liao Kingdom Begins Its Actions

"Prepare to attack Yong'an County tomorrow." Wu Feng said calmly. "You will come with me to attack the city tomorrow. If any of your men are there, have them provide support. If not, make arrangements for them to infiltrate the city today."

Han Yufeng nodded respectfully upon hearing this: "Yes, Your Excellency. I will make the arrangements immediately and ensure that the person is sent in before dark."

Wu Feng gestured to Han Yufeng that she could go and make the arrangements.

Han Yufeng bowed, turned and walked out of the study. Her steps were quick but steady, and her boots made a soft sound on the blue brick floor. She soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Wu Feng leaned back in his chair, a thought forming in his mind. He opened the management interface to check the city's situation.

A semi-transparent light screen unfolded before my eyes, and information about Yingzhou City popped up one by one.

The building section continues to build and upgrade various structures such as farmland, lumberyards, quarries, and restaurants.

I took a look at the projects that are under construction.

Qian Wencai, Sun Mingyuan, and their group were indeed busy. They observed that various buildings in the city were under rapid construction, indicating that the entire city was developing rapidly.

However, rapid development consumes a lot of resources.

Wu Feng's gaze fell on the resource section. Timber had increased from 1.3 million, stone was about the same, but grain had increased considerably, now amounting to 4 million. Silver hadn't changed much, remaining at 1.1 million taels.

Iron ingots are being consumed the fastest; there are currently 320,000 left. The armory is rushing to forge equipment for new recruits, so the consumption is quite rapid.

These resources increased considerably after being plundered from several aristocratic families and receiving aid, but they were still insufficient for long-term consumption, as maintaining rapid development required staggering daily expenditures.

He frowned.

The construction was consuming resources faster than he had anticipated. At this rate, the inventory wouldn't last long.

Although logging camps and quarries were built, their daily output was still far from meeting their consumption.

In order to continue developing, it is necessary to seize resources and population.

We cannot let any of the surrounding counties go unchecked.

Resources must be removed, and people must be brought back. No usable artisans, scholars, or warriors can be left to the Liao Kingdom.

After closing the management list, Wu Feng turned around and went back to his room.

He pushed open the door, closed it behind him, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Take a deep breath and close your eyes. With a slight thought, the Nine Yang True Qi in your dantian surges and flows slowly along your meridians.

The warm, vital energy flowed through my limbs and bones like golden streams.

At the edge of the field of vision, a pale gold system notification steadily popped up—

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +336]

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles. The true energy washed over the meridians again and again, becoming more and more solid.

The light outside the window slowly shifted, changing from bright to dim.

Wu Feng was immersed in cultivation, his breathing was long and steady, and a faint golden halo surrounded him.

As evening approached, he slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes.

A flash of golden light appeared in his eyes, and he let out a long breath, got up from the bed, and stretched his wrists.

Pushing open the door and stepping outside, I saw that dusk was falling in the courtyard, with only a last glimmer of dark red light remaining on the horizon.

Li Qinglu, Mu Wanqing, Azi, and Wu Xingyun were already sitting at the stone table, and the kitchen staff were carrying trays of food into the pavilion.

Wu Feng walked over and sat down on the stone bench.

"Wu Lang." Li Qinglu smiled when she saw him.

Mu Wanqing also called out "Young Master".

Azi jumped up from the stool and called out "Young Master" with a grin.

Wu Xingyun glanced at him and nodded.

A table was set with dishes: braised pork, stewed chicken, steamed fish, stir-fried greens, cold black fungus salad, a large bowl of egg drop soup, and several bowls of rice.

After having dinner with Li Qinglu and the others.

Halfway through the meal, Li Qinglu asked, "What are we going to do tomorrow?"

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Go attack Yong'an County. If things go smoothly, I'll be back by tomorrow night."

Li Qinglu didn't ask any more questions and put a piece of fish into his bowl.

After finishing dinner, Wu Feng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a cloth, said to the others, "You guys rest," and turned to go back to his room.

He closed the door and sat down on the bed.

Upon entering the room, I opened the control panel.

A semi-transparent light screen unfolds before your eyes, and you log out with a tap of your fingertip.

A flash of white light, and the hatch slowly slid open.

Wu Feng opened his eyes, sat up, and jumped out of the game pod, using the edge as leverage.

He stretched his shoulders as his feet touched the ground, picked up his phone and keys from the table, and went out the door.

I'll log off first and go to the cafeteria for dinner. It's too inconvenient here; dinner is served at fixed times, and if you miss it, you have to drive for more than an hour to eat in the city.

This is troublesome, so let's eat first when it's time.

After leaving the villa, I walked along the main road towards the cafeteria. The roadside was lit by dim, yellowish lights.

There were few people on the road, only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the cafeteria.

Pushing open the door, I found the room sparsely populated, with only a few tables occupied. The aroma of food wafted through the air, and rows of dishes were laid out at the food counter.

Wu Feng took a tray, ordered two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and three bowls of rice, and found a seat by the window.

The food tasted good, and he ate quickly, finishing the meal in just over ten minutes.

Take the tray to the recycling area and leave the cafeteria.

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at it—it was a call from Li Dahu.

After finishing my meal at the cafeteria, I received a call from Li Dahu.

Wu Feng picked up the phone and put it to his ear, asking as he walked, "What is it?"

Li Dahu's voice came through the receiver, tinged with seriousness: "There's movement from the Liao Kingdom. News from military personnel in the Liao capital indicates that they have begun assembling troops to prepare for the recapture of Yingzhou."

Wu Feng nodded upon hearing this, but continued walking back along the main road without stopping.

He secretly admired the military's excellent intelligence network, as they knew about Liao's movements as soon as they were detected.

Having more players is indeed helpful; hopefully, these issues can be resolved as soon as possible.

He began by asking, "How many troops did the Liao Kingdom send?"

Wu Feng inquired about the number of troops the Liao Kingdom had deployed, from Li Dahu's perspective.

Li Dahu said, "The Liao Kingdom did not pay much attention to this intelligence."

When they heard the news, they knew it wasn't the Song Dynasty army that had done it, but rather a group of江湖人士 (jianghu figures) who had occupied the city, so they didn't take it seriously.

Only 50,000 troops were deployed, without using the main force; there were only 10,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry.

So it might take a few days to get here.

He paused, then continued, "But we can't be careless. If these people attack quickly, the time will be greatly reduced, so we need to prepare early. At the same time, we need to clear out some of the spies within the city to prevent any situation where the gates are opened to the Liao Kingdom from within."

Wu Feng nodded upon hearing this. Fifty thousand men: ten thousand cavalry and forty thousand infantry.

The number was a bit larger than he had expected, but it was still within his acceptable range.

The key is the cavalry. If ten thousand cavalrymen were to charge, his new recruits wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"How long will it take for the player's troops to arrive?" Wu Feng asked.

Li Dahu said, "They could arrive as early as tomorrow. But to thwart the plans of those noble families, I don't intend to let them enter the city tomorrow. We'll wait for the right opportunity."

Wu Feng nodded and said, "You can make your own arrangements. I'm going back to the game now. Let's not meet in the game for now. We'll talk again when I return with my men from the siege."

Li Dahu replied "Okay" and hung up the phone.

Wu Feng put his phone in his pocket and quickened his pace toward the villa.

Back in the villa, I went upstairs to the second floor and entered the bedroom.

He took off his coat and threw it on the chair, walked to the game pod, opened the hatch, and lay down inside.

The hatch slowly closed, and a faint blue light seeped out from the edges. A feeling of weightlessness washed over me, and everything went black.

A flash of white light.

Wu Feng logged back into the game, opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed.

The room was dimly lit, the window was half-open, and a cool night breeze blew in from outside.
