The Prodigal Son

intuition!

It's something mysterious yet truly real.

The old man once told him that intuition is a very valuable thing.

This thing can also be called battlefield smell.

This is something forged on the battlefield.

Almost every commander develops intuition.

On the battlefield, you often have to trust your intuition, which can sometimes be more accurate than scouts.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Du Fan couldn't help but rub his forehead. "Although I also felt that Yelü Shu would probably take some action, it seems there are no signs of him doing so at the moment!"

"Regardless of what Yelü Shu does, let's proceed according to our own plan!"

Qin Yu said solemnly, "If anyone in the army complains that there are too many people wearing armor, just tell them that everyone who wears armor to Haidong City will receive two months' pay!"

"You're rewarding me already?"

Du Fan's face twitched slightly.

Indeed, some soldiers in the army began to complain.

Especially after more than 300 people collapsed today.

In this weather, you have to wear armor to sleep; it's really a bit unbearable.

"What else?"

Qin Yu glared at him. "We've only recently formed an army, and we can't use heavy punishments to stabilize morale and fighting spirit right now. We'll have to use money to pave the way! Don't worry about the money; money is meant to be spent!"

The majority of their soldiers were surrendered soldiers.

The soldiers are complaining right now, so the only way to appease them is to offer them real money.

"good!"

Du Fan nodded and stood up. "Then I will have someone relay Marshal Qin's orders!"

Go!

Qin Yu waved his hand lightly, "Also, tell the cooks to have an extra meal tonight, so everyone is well-fed!"

"yes!"

Du Fan accepted the order and left.

After Du Fan left, Qin Yu instructed Han Chong, "You must also send people to closely monitor the movements on our left flank and in the rear!"

"yes!"

Han Chong accepted the order.

"Alright, go do your thing!"

Qin Yu waved his hand lightly, then said with a serious expression, "Anyway, the most elite soldiers in the army are under your command. If you can't hold your own against an enemy attack, don't blame me for stripping you of your entire rank!"

Qin Yu had high hopes for the White-Robed Army.

The soldiers of the White Robe Army were almost all the best of the best from the Wudang Flying Army and the Flying Fang Cavalry.

They have the best warhorses, the best soldiers, and the highest treatment.

They are all veterans who have survived countless brushes with death. Even though the army has only recently been formed, they must stand tall.

Han Chong grinned, "Don't worry, Commander Qin, if this still doesn't hold up, I'll have no face to command the troops!"

Qin Yu smiled with satisfaction, "I hope one day the enemy will shout: 'A thousand armies and ten thousand horses flee from the white-robed warrior!'"

A thousand troops and horses avoid the white-robed figure?

Han Chong was slightly taken aback, then straightened his posture and nodded emphatically.

……

The next day, Qin Yu and his men continued their march.

Early in the morning, Qin Yu felt that it seemed a bit colder today than yesterday.

It looks like we're going to have another heavy snowfall in the next few days!

He now only hopes that the snow will fall after they have settled in Haidong City.

In the afternoon, Qin Yu received a message sent by Yuan Dingguo.

Yelü Shu was moved!

Tens of thousands of enemy cavalry are marching towards Haidong City with provisions, seemingly intending to seize the city from them.

"Good, very good!"

Upon hearing this news, Qin Yu burst into laughter.

We are not afraid of Yelü Shu moving, but we are afraid of Yelü Shu not moving!

Seeing Qin Yu laughing heartily, Nan Que'er couldn't help but wonder, "What is Yelü Shu trying to do? He wouldn't move unless we advanced on Haidong City, but now that we're about to seize it, he's suddenly started advancing again?"

"fool!"

Qin Yu gently pinched Nan Que'er's delicate nose and said with a smile, "Yelü Shu has indeed set his sights on our grain supplies!"

"nonsense!"

Nan Que'er playfully slapped Qin Yu's hand away, "I know he's eyeing our supplies! I just don't understand the point of him doing this! He can't possibly attack us head-on, can he?"

Although their troops were only recently formed, they were already considered a semi-elite force.

If they can win one or two battles on the battlefield, rally the troops, and boost morale, they can be considered elite.

What made Yelü Shu think he could defeat them head-on?

Is he really that arrogant?

"He definitely won't attack us head-on!"

Qin Yu smiled confidently and said with certainty, "Yelü Shu simply wants our vanguard to advance quickly in order to compete with him for Haidong City, thereby creating distance between them and the rearguard..."

Yelü Shu must have hidden a force of cavalry!

They simply didn't know where the cavalry was hiding, or from which direction they would emerge, or in what way they would attack them.

But as long as Yuan Dingguo and his men seize Haidong City first and distance themselves from the rear army, that cavalry force will definitely emerge!

At that time, Yelü Shu will restrain Yuan Dingguo and his men, preventing them from returning to provide reinforcements!

Yelü Shu certainly had a good plan!

Who said Yelü Shu was arrogant?

Isn't that quite cautious?

"I see!"

Nan Que'er suddenly realized, and then teased, "You really trust your own judgment that much? If you misjudge and Yelü Shu manages to take over Haidong City first, we'll either have to launch a full-scale attack or just watch helplessly."

"What's there to be afraid of! We have food and supplies, so we can just wait it out! Let's see how long he can hold out!"

Qin Yu smiled nonchalantly, then immediately summoned a messenger and swiftly ordered: "Order Yuan Dingguo's troops to advance according to the established plan! Continue to keep an eye on the right flank of the main army, and report immediately if any enemy traces are discovered!"

Looking at the calm and composed Qin Yu, Nan Que'er couldn't help but smile.

It's clear that Qin Yu is in a very good mood right now.

In the past, he would inevitably overthink things, hesitate and consider all possibilities, always wanting to anticipate the enemy's moves and avoid making any mistakes.

But now, he is even more convinced of his judgment.

No matter how the enemy changed their tactics, he handled them with ease, no longer worrying about what their plans were.

After Qin Yu finished giving the order, he turned around and found Nan Que'er staring at him with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qin Yu touched his cheek and joked, "Is there something on my face, or are you captivated by my handsome appearance?"

"Of course, I was captivated by Qin Shuai's dashing appearance!"

Nan Que'er deliberately feigned infatuation, looking at Qin Yu with a beaming smile, "Commander Qin is so handsome and extraordinary, I'm so worried! I wonder how many women will try to steal my man! After we return to the capital, it might be difficult for me to even see you..."

There's a hidden meaning in his words!

Qin Yu looked at Nan Que'er with a dark expression.

She was clearly saying that after returning to the capital, she would be "favored" by Zhao Luan every day!

"Behave yourself, General!"

Qin Yu, radiating an aura of domineering power, brandished his hand and declared menacingly, "Beware of my family's discipline!"

How dare you make fun of yourself?

snort!

If we weren't still on the march, I would have given her a good spanking!

"Pooh!"

Nan Que'er spat lightly and tossed the back of her head at Qin Yu...
