"Wang Ming!"

"Your subordinate is here."

"You and Lao Zhang will each lead a team to disperse all of Zhang's personal guards into different camps. If they encounter resistance, kill them without mercy."

Ren Tianye's attitude toward Zhang Canjiang's personal guards was clear: use them, guard against them, and disperse them.

As the rebellion grew stronger and his soldiers multiplied, those who hadn't resisted were completely drawn into his scheme, with no way to back down.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Wang Ming accepted the order and left, leaving the tent empty. Ren Tianye felt waves of dizziness wash over him. Without asking, he knew it was due to overwork and mental strain over the past two days.

In just a few days, he had transformed from a guerrilla general who killed a girl disguised as a Da Yu girl into the leader of a righteous army of eight hundred men.

He was respectfully addressed as the Great General by his subordinates!

Although the glory was intoxicating, the real mental exhaustion, tension, and fear were unavoidable, leaving him completely drained.

However, Ren Tianye knew that now was not the time to rest. Although the eight hundred troops were now under his command, for him, the path of rebellion had only just begun.

Right now, there are still insurmountable obstacles!

Once the news of their purge of the court's corrupt advisors reaches the court, it will surely cause a stir. The imperial army will quickly return to suppress them. There are imperial guards nearby, so it can be said that if they are even a step too late, eight hundred heads will be sent to meet the King of Hell.

"We must find a way out for our brothers immediately."

Ren Tianye pondered.

Before long, the guerrilla generals, who had finished dealing with various matters, arrived one after another and immediately spotted Ren Tianye, who was bent over his desk examining a terrain map.

Report and inquire immediately.

"General, the brothers are all ready and can set off at any time. Where do we go next?"

"General, should we head to the capital immediately?"

"Are you fucking crazy? With so few people, are we going to the capital to die? I think we should head to the nearby prefectures first, replenish our supplies, gather manpower, and then make further plans."

"That's a good idea, that's exactly how it should be done."

"That's definitely a good idea."

……

All the guerrilla generals agreed to the plan.

First, plunder nearby prefectures to expand your forces, then consider other options.

However, Ren Tianye rejected it outright.

"The northern prefectures are heavily guarded by powerful armies. Do you think we can defeat them?"

"If we head south, it will be easier to conquer, but once the imperial court reacts and surrounds us from all sides, what chance will we have of survival?"

"As for plotting to grow stronger, that's even more impossible."

"Now that the world is at peace, even if you raise your arms and shout, not many people will be willing to join you. Besides, with our small size and lack of deep roots, how many capable people can we attract?"

Ren Tianye analyzed the situation one by one, saying, "The only thing we must do right now is to find a safe place to settle down, wait for the world to fall into chaos, and then seize the opportunity to send troops. That would be the best strategy."

These guerrilla generals were fine with charging into battle, but they lacked the vision and strategic thinking to plan for the overall situation. Upon hearing Ren Tianye's discourse, they all nodded in agreement.

Indeed, plundering prefectures is certainly exhilarating, but it's too easy to fall into the court's encirclement. It's better to find a place to set up camp.

Not many people know about the massacre of 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers. Once the news spreads throughout the Great Yu, how can the world possibly be at peace?

That's when they'll truly shine.

"General, we will listen to you."

"Tell me, where should we find a place to settle down and make a living?"

Ren Tianye said, "It is a place with high walls and thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with sufficient military supplies. Even if it is besieged, it can hold out for at least several months."

Everyone was taken aback by these words.

There are quite a few places like this in Dayu.

But any place with such conditions would be heavily guarded.

Are you suggesting we send these 800 men to attack a city like this?

What's the difference between this and sending someone to their death?

This is much more difficult than plundering a state capital!

Everyone couldn't help but shout.

"General, our attack on fortified cities and strongholds is like moths to a flame, a path to our own destruction!"

"Yes, General, we're good at mobile, rapid warfare, but we're really not suited for large-scale sieges. Besides... where would we find a large-scale operation?"

"General, this strategy is excellent, but we can only mobilize eight hundred men..."

Ren Tianye's eyes sharpened: "Eight hundred it is!"

"Eight hundred men can still take down a major city!"

Ren Tianye felt a surge of intense fighting spirit and self-confidence.

Eight hundred people, and some dared to rob someone right at Xuanwu Gate!

Eight hundred men, and some dared to quell the rebellion in accordance with the will of Heaven!

With 800 men, we can defend the four warehouses!

Even before he time-traveled, he dared to shout, "Eight hundred it is!"

What? Now that we've all time-traveled, and we're about to start a rebellion, the eight hundred men are too scared to do it?

does not exist!

Ren Tianye's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Three men make a crowd, and we have eight hundred. That's enough. As long as we operate properly, Xiongcheng will surely fall into our hands!"

Ren Tianye's confidence was very encouraging.

Several guerrilla generals were also ignited with an indomitable fighting spirit.

Damn it, we've already risked our lives anyway, so whatever the general says goes. Eight hundred men, what are we afraid of attacking a city for?

"General, tell me, where should we attack?"

"How about we just attack Shanhe City directly?"

Shanhe City is located near the border with the barbarian tribes. Since the founding of the Great Yu Kingdom, it has served as the most important barrier in the northern frontier. It has been continuously repaired and improved, and is now the largest city in the northern frontier, known as the first city in the northern border.

Beneath the north-facing gate, there is a plaque left by the ancestral emperor, with eight large characters inscribed on it.

"Barbarian tribes are forbidden from entering the territory of Dayu!"

However, this suggestion was immediately rejected by Ren Tianye.

"The Empress was able to annihilate 70,000 loyal souls of Chifeng, so she must have sent at least 200,000 Central Imperial Guards, most of whom are still stationed there. Sending 800 of us would be like throwing meat buns to a dog!"

Without further ado, he pointed to the topographical map and said, "This is my target!"

All the guerrilla generals looked over.

The three large characters "Yunji City" were prominently displayed.

Ren Tianye said, "Yunji City has always been an important city in the northern border, forming a strategic alliance with Shanhe City to safeguard the stability of the northern frontier."

"But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer major battles. Yunji City has been gradually forgotten because it is not on the main road. Its garrison usually only numbers a few thousand."

"In addition, under the strict military orders of the Red Beacon Army, too many border merchants could not stay in Shanhe City and moved to Yunji City, making it a place with many wealthy households and abundant military funds, which is an excellent place to go."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a great place!

Several people who weren't initially convinced by Ren Tianye also nodded secretly.

Such meticulous arrangements were made in such a short time; whether planned in advance or conceived on the spot, it was beyond their ability to match.

He became increasingly convinced of Ren Tianye's talent.

"Then let's do as the general says and attack Yunji City!"

"Yes, once we take Yunji City, we brothers will have a place to stay."

"As long as we can occupy Yunji City, even though we only have eight hundred brothers, we can hold out for at least a month or two against the imperial army of two hundred thousand. When the world is in chaos, we can launch a counterattack!"

……

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ren Tianye slammed his hand on the table: "Alright, then it's settled, we'll attack Yunji City!"
