The Prodigal Son

Luzhou Prefecture.

At night, Qin Yu was nestled in Nan Que'er's arms, "seeking comfort," when a series of urgent knocks on the door interrupted his good time.

"Thirteenth Master, urgent military intelligence!"

Qin Xiong's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing Qin Xiong's words, Qin Yu suddenly stood up and walked out, and Nan Que'er quickly pulled down her clothes and followed him.

The door opened, and Qin Xiong immediately reported, "I just received news from the scouts that the 20,000 Yan troops at Tiger's Mouth are starting to advance towards us!"

Tiger's Mouth?

Qin Yu's eyelids twitched immediately.

Is Yan Wujiu really planning to attack Luzhou Prefecture?

Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Has the Yan army inside Xiaxing City made any unusual movements?"

Qin Xiong shook his head slightly: "We haven't received any news yet."

A moment later, Qin Yu immediately ordered, "Go, summon Yuan Dingguo and the others to come for a meeting!"

"yes!"

After Qin Xiong left to carry out his orders, Qin Yu couldn't help but turn back to Nan Que'er with a helpless smile, "Why do I feel like even God is against me?"

Before, when he was in Shangxing, Nan Que'er was so busy that she didn't have time to rest, so he didn't have the heart to bother her.

When he was advancing towards Luzhou Prefecture, Yan Wujiu had ruined his mood, and he lost interest.

They were finally in the mood today, but then trouble came knocking again.

He seriously suspected that God had assigned a special eye to him, deliberately working against him.

"Alright!"

Nan Que'er smiled and teased, "Whose fault is it that you didn't choose a suitable time?"

"It's all Yan Wujiu's fault!"

Qin Yu clenched his fist. "I'll remember this debt!"

With that, Qin Yu gently kissed Nan Que'er on the lips and led her toward the council hall.

Soon, everyone gathered in the council hall.

Qin Yu quickly informed everyone of the urgent military intelligence he had just received.

"Is Yan Wujiu planning to attack Luzhou Prefecture?"

"So what if they only have 20,000 men? Let's just charge straight in, crush them, and then march into Tiger Province!"

"Don't be too careless! Do you think Yan Wujiu's Flying Fang Cavalry are dead men? If we charge in, the Flying Fang Cavalry will either attack Luzhou Prefecture or flank us from behind!"

"Yes, the situation is unclear right now, let's wait and see!"

"What's there to be afraid of! We'll leave 10,000 troops in Luzhou Prefecture as well. If the Flying Fang Cavalry dares to flank us, our attacking force will immediately turn around and join forces with the Luzhou Prefecture troops to launch a pincer attack!"

"I think we should play it safe. If Yan Wujiu really wants to attack Luzhou Prefecture, we can find a way to defeat them one by one..."

The generals all expressed their opinions.

The generals of the Wudang Flying Army were generally quite radical, and they wanted to storm into Huzhou, just like they had done in Min, and wreak havoc behind enemy lines.

However, Chen Heng and Bao Yong, who were under Dong Heshang's command, preferred a more cautious approach and suggested taking a steady and methodical approach.

After all, the city walls of Luzhou Prefecture had been torn down, and the moat had been filled in.

If their attack fails and they are surrounded by the Flying Tiger Cavalry and the Yan army from the Tiger's Mouth direction, the Flying Tiger Cavalry can immediately turn around and attack Luzhou Prefecture again.

Both sides held their own opinions, and what started as a discussion gradually became more heated.

The generals of the Wudang Flying Cavalry felt that Chen Heng and Bao Yong were too cowardly, and the two of them felt that Xiong Quhu and others were too reckless and completely disregarded the overall situation!

Seeing that the two sides were about to start swearing, Qin Yu quickly stopped them: "Alright, I invited you here to discuss matters, not to argue!"

At this moment, he could completely understand Zhao Luan's feelings in the court.

They were supposed to be discussing something, but the group of people ended up arguing.

The key point is that he can't really say who's right and who's wrong.

Both sides have their reasons, and both are considering the war effort.

After Qin Yu spoke up, both sides swallowed their curses, but their gazes toward each other were clearly displeased.

What do you think?

Qin Yu then asked Yuan Dingguo.

"This humble general believes we can wait a little longer!"

Yuan Dingguo replied, "Currently, the troops inside Xiaxing City haven't made any moves. Let's observe Yan Wujiu's next actions first! Anyway, we're cavalry, so a surprise attack will be quick!"

"Hmm, that works too!"

Qin Yu nodded slightly, then looked up and scanned the generals: "Let me add one more thing: no matter how the enemy moves, our goal of taking Pangzhou cannot change! We will disrupt the enemy's vision, and the enemy will disrupt ours! Their breaching of the city walls in Luzhou Prefecture is the best example of that!"

Xiong Quhu was somewhat unwilling, "If the gates of Tiger Prefecture are all open, why don't we attack Tiger Prefecture?"

"It's best to be cautious about Tiger Prefecture!"

Qin Yu said solemnly, "Behind Tiger Prefecture lies the capital of Yan. No matter how sparsely defended Tiger Prefecture may be, it won't be completely empty! Be careful that we don't rush in headfirst and Yan Wujiu turns the tables on us!"

"right!"

Yuan Dingguo nodded. "If we want to launch a major offensive against Huzhou, we definitely have to wait for the main army to arrive!"

This is not the time for them to attack the Min Kingdom.

At that time, the rear of the Min Kingdom was extremely vulnerable.

But the state of Yan was different.

Even though Zong Bi's 90,000-strong army had been completely wiped out, the Yan state still had 300,000 troops!

If their small force gets trapped in Huzhou, it will be difficult for them to break out.

"Alright, that's enough for now!"

Qin Yu stood up. "Go back and rest! We'll see about it tomorrow!"

"yes!"

……

"Didn't it move?"

At noon, Yan Wujiu received news that the troops of Wangzhou Prefecture were not moving. He frowned slightly, wondering, "Have they not moved, or did you not notice that the Ning army had quietly left the city at night?"

Ning Jun didn't cherish such a good opportunity?

Could it be that Ning Jun really saw through his intentions?

Yan Wujiu became increasingly agitated the more he thought about it.

Suddenly, I felt an urge to curse.

It's not even that winning is difficult!

Is it so hard to lose?

What kind of bullshit battle is this?!

We can't just send him to his death with the Flying Fang Cavalry, can we?

The visitor confidently stated, "We have deployed spies around Luzhou Prefecture and are certain that the enemy has not left the city!"

"Okay, you can go now!"

Yan Wujiu waved his hand, feeling extremely irritated, and asked Ji Ying, "Where are those 30,000-plus troops behind us? When will they reach Shimanzi Slope?"

If those 30,000-plus troops were to press down on Shimanzi Slope southwest of Xiaxing, and then split into three routes to advance towards Luzhou Prefecture, he didn't believe the Ning army would still not move!

If Ning Jun really doesn't move, he really might dare to attack Luzhou Prefecture!

Speaking of this, Ji Ying immediately felt a headache coming on, "It will probably take about three more days to get there."

"Three more days?"

Yan Wujiu's face suddenly fell. "Didn't you say three days yesterday too?"

Did they just stand still all day?

Ji Ying lowered his head, saying helplessly, "The enemy's experts are assassinating our generals in the rear. Many generals are overly cautious, and in addition, there have been many changes in generals in a short period of time, resulting in soldiers not knowing their generals and generals not knowing their soldiers. Therefore, their marching speed is relatively slow..."

Ning Jun really disgusted them.

Moreover, it caused them a lot of trouble.

However, their disgusting tactics against the Ning army failed!

This made them even more disgusted!

Yan Wujiu's face was terribly grim. He roared, "Issue my order! They must reach Shimanzi Slope within two days! Otherwise, all over a hundred generals will be executed!"
