The sergeant on Guyue City looked at Cao Su who looked like a normal person and was very surprised.
Cao Su is too strong.
After yesterday’s battle, you didn’t feel tired at all?
You know, the news has spread throughout the city now.
Gao Hongxi, a master of casual cultivating at the fifth level of the Strength Realm, was seriously injured by Cao Su after making only ten moves, barely escaping with his life.
Warriors who have not reached the fifth level of strength realm should not think about leaving the city to challenge Cao Su.
Lest you bring shame on yourself.
There are really not many choices for fifth-level and above, especially many high-level strength realms who are basically in a state of being unable to leave the mountain.
Most of these high-level warriors in the realm of strength are at the level of supreme elders in the sect or masters of the world who became famous twenty or thirty years ago.
Therefore, the only options available are masters of the fifth and fourth levels of strength realm.
Then this area is too small. Even if I think about it, I can't find many people in Guyue City.
So Cao Su practiced with his eyes closed outside the city the next day, sitting there all day long.
There was no one to challenge him.
The clouds are overcast and the breeze is blowing.
Practicing without being disturbed makes you feel relaxed and contented.
At night that day, it suddenly started to rain lightly in the ancient Yue area.
The light rain in summer is like thousands of silk ribbons floating down from the sky.
The crops in the open space outside the city were washed by the rain and turned green and crystal clear, and the air began to carry a fresh and moist earthy fragrance.
It rained, and Cao Su didn't have the habit of waiting for others to fight in the rain.
I rested in the camp for a few days, and then walked out of the camp again after the rain had passed and the sky cleared.
It has been raining these past few days, and the entire Guyue City has been quiet.
If Cao Su didn't come, Guyue City would naturally not take the initiative to challenge.
The no-war card was still hanging high on the city wall. Bai Cai and Gu Bo defended Guyue City. They would rather lose than fall into the enemy's trick.
Guyue City has thick walls and rich supplies.
With the city closed and guarded, there is no way to defeat the rebels.
Although the life and death arena humiliated Guyue's face, it did not have much practical significance.
The two sides seem to be fighting a fake war. The other three sides of Guyue can still travel normally, and the lives of residents have not been greatly affected, except that they cannot go north.
........
Guyue City is dozens of miles south.
On the muddy mountain road, the army moved in a hurry.
Wang Meng led the army, accompanied by five thousand rebel troops.
The several captains beside Wang Meng looked solemn.
"Sir, is it really okay? Leave General Cao alone there?"
Wang Meng didn't want to do this, but since it was General Right's order, he could only follow it.
Although the five thousand troops took advantage of the darkness and rain, they quietly moved to the south of the city.
But there are still movements and traces. After the rain stops, the scouts passing by will definitely find traces of the 5,000-strong army's movements. When the news is reported back to Guyue City, Cao Su will become very dangerous.
"If we can't fight, Cao Su can retreat to Daze in the north."
"Cao Su and I have already agreed not to fight forcefully."
Wang Meng also kept a sullen face, obviously worried.
Other captains said: "But General Cao has always been brave and strong. I am afraid that if he refuses to retreat, he will put himself in a desperate situation."
Cao Su is indeed brave, and since he became the imperial army, he must fight every time he attacks and win every battle, so his morale is relatively high.
This is what Wang Meng is afraid of.
He shook his head and said: "I have left Ji Qiu. If Cao Su does not retreat at the critical moment, Ji Qiu will persuade him. I hope Cao Su can listen to Ji Qiu's opinion, and it will definitely be successful. Ji Qiu represents me."
"Sir, let's march quickly, as soon as possible..."
The captain did not say anything further. The dense forest only reached the level of the captain, and those below, including many centurions, only knew how to march according to orders.
As for where to go, many people have no map concept in their minds and are confused.
........
The camp of the rebel army.
There were 5,000 fewer people in the camp, and it suddenly became emptier.
Cao Su asked the cavalry to tie branches behind the tails of the horses and gallop away, and also asked the soldiers to beat drums non-stop to cheer them up.
Every day in the camp, the dust was flying, the drums were rumbling, and it was a lively scene that the army was always preparing for war and training hard.
It was as if he was about to set out to attack Guyue City at any time.
Looking from the walls of Guyue City, we can see that the enemy's morale is too high.
As soon as Wang Meng led his army to retreat, Cao Su became the commander-in-chief of the army.
Five thousand elite soldiers all obeyed his military orders.
This feeling of having great power is indeed intoxicating.
One word determines life, one word determines death.
His mission is to contain the tens of thousands of troops in the city.
Now that Wang Meng has left, there are fifty million elite soldiers in the city, but he only has five thousand.
Five thousand versus fifty thousand, the opponent is still defending the city, so the gap is a bit big no matter how you look at it.
What should you do if the other party suddenly rushes out one day?
Cao Su felt that it was necessary to make an emergency plan first.
.......
In the afternoon of that day, Cao Su walked to the edge of Daze for inspection.
Hundreds of looted fishing boats were hidden in the mist.
The rebel army is almost running out of food now, and they can barely support themselves by relying on Daze's rich aquatic products.
Li Li beside him said helplessly: "Sir, there are boats, but there are not so many boatmen!"
"And many of our soldiers are not good at water and are unwilling to get on the ship."
He seemed to be saying that Cao Su was wasting his efforts again.
Cao Su was very surprised: "Who said I would arm my troops?"
"If you don't equip yourself with troops, what can you do?"
Li Li was even more confused.
Cao Su showed a look of disdain that said, "It's hard to explain to you with your IQ." He walked towards a fishing boat minding his own business.
This fishing boat is not big. If he stood on it with his size, there might not be much room.
"Have all the fishing boats around been raided?"
"Yes, basically all of them were looted."
"Are there any fishermen who are unwilling to hand over their boats?"
"Yes, but..."
Li Li felt like a bandit who had brought all these ships over by force. In the past few days, he had been riddled with guilt, but he had no choice but to complete the task assigned by Cao Su.
Cao Su called his soldiers over and said to him deliberately.
"Take care of these ships. If we cannot defeat the enemy in the future, we must rely on these ships for strategic maneuvers."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We have all the nearby ships in our hands. If the enemy comes after us, there will be no ships that can chase us!"
When the sergeants saw these densely packed ships, they were shocked and shouted yes.
Searching ships is a formality, which gives the soldiers under their command a sense of security and increases their confidence.
They all praised Mr. Cao for his exhaustive strategy and had planned the strategic depth in advance.
After inspecting the "life-saving fishing boat", Cao Su returned to the army.
A sergeant hurried to Cao Su and handed over the letter sealed with fire paint.
"Sir, the military advisor has sent a secret message."
Wei Kai's secret letter......
Cao Su perked up and picked up the envelope. He saw that it was indeed Wei Kai's handwriting.
After he opened the letter, he walked aside to look at it alone.
It turned out that it was Wei Kai who explained to him the intention of arranging the attack on Xunshan City.
The main battlefield of the imperial army was outside Xunshan, and Wang Meng rushed to attack Xunshan City. Whether or not Xunshan City was defeated would have an impact on the morale of Tianniu Taoist's soldiers.
At present, the Tiger Army and the Tianniu Taoist have entered a stage of close combat. Any slight change in any link may eventually cause turmoil in the entire battle situation.
Cao Su will be under great pressure outside Guyue City.
But the right general Qin Hu has already stated that as long as Cao Su can contain Bai Cai or Gu Bo, even if he completes the containment task, Cao Su's contribution will never be lowered if he is rewarded based on his merits in the future.
At the end of the letter, there was a big seal, which was very formal.
After Cao Su read it, he closed the letter.
I was originally going to crush it directly with force.
Thinking about it, I might as well keep it. After all, they have made a promise. If someone refuses to admit it, he can still show this certificate.
However, according to Wei Kai's character, he was obviously well prepared to send this secret letter and was definitely not afraid of Cao Su blackmailing him.
Cao Su laughed dumbly, thinking that he was overthinking it.
His eyes moved slightly, and he remembered what the secret letter said.
"Baicai Gu Bo, just need to contain one person?"
"This is a tacit admission that I can only defeat one of them, so I can let one of them go to the main battlefield."
It suddenly relieved half of his pressure.
The two men looked like they were holding back. If they had not divided their forces and headed for Xunshan City, Cao Su felt that he could have pinned them down in Guyue City.
Now that Wang Meng has sent out his army, his movements and traces will be discovered by the city sooner or later.
The two armies may fight at any time, it depends on when the other side discovers this situation.
