"I just received news that the Crown Prince has at least 10,000 more elite troops heading south." Xing Zizhou's breath was a little heavy.
As soon as Xing Zizhou's words came out, everyone looked at him.
He met Feng Jiuer's gaze and added: "I just received the news. It's 15,000 or 20,000. I don't know yet. They will arrive within half a month."
"Jiu'er, since the peace negotiation won't work, we must make a quick decision."
"If we wait for their reinforcements to arrive, it will be more difficult for us to attack them."
"So, by then, won't there be at least one of our people fighting against the two of them?" Little Cherry Moon frowned.
Xing Zizhou didn't want to see her anxious eyes, but he could only nod.
"In terms of quantity, that's true."
Feng Jiuer calmed down and looked at Xue Gu and Tuoba Keyan.
"Xue Gu, Qian Yan, do you have any good suggestions?"
Tuoba Keyan glanced at Xue Gu, then his eyes fell on Feng Jiuer, but he remained silent.
When he didn't speak, Feng Jiuer frowned slightly.
"Qian Yan, tell me, it was my fault that I left without saying a word and Jian Yi. I apologize to you here."
"But as a general, I don't want everyone to act alone. I hope you can understand."
"Say it." Xue Gu's somewhat mute voice sounded.
Tuoba Keyan looked back, calmed down, and nodded.
He turned back to look at Feng Jiu'er and said softly: "Jiu'er, my godmother and I plan to sneak into the enemy's army tonight and eliminate their three thousand troops guarding the rear."
"Why the troops in the rear?" Feng Jiuer did not deny Tuoba Keyan's plan from the beginning.
She knew very well that Xue Gu's decisions must have been carefully considered.
As a junior, although she disagreed, she could not object immediately.
"The enemy's granary is located in the rear. If things go well, we will set fire to their granary." Tuoba Keyan explained.
"Furthermore, according to our observation, the guards in the rear area are relatively weak, which makes it easier to do things."
"But no matter whether things can be completed smoothly or not, if you and Xue Gu have to return to the camp, the longer the route, the more dangerous it will be." Feng Jiuer put forward her own opinion.
Xue Gu, who had been silent all this time, coughed slightly, and the eyes of everyone present couldn't help but focus on her.
"We have already planned our route back. We are taking a mountain road, so there won't be any big problems."
"Xue Gu." Feng Jiuer frowned and called softly.
"Jiu'er, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative." Xue Gu interrupted Feng Jiu'er, "Tonight we are going to disrupt more than one of the other side's military camps."
"Just in case, the prince's troops will launch a sudden attack. Qiao Mu and Jiu'er will each guard an entrance tonight."
"Our brothers are preparing for rockfall in the other two mountain streams. If anyone dares to pass through the two small mountain streams, they can only enter but not exit."
"The forest on the right is more than ten miles long at its narrowest point. If the prince's men want to use this route to attack, we will burn the forest."
"No matter whether the other side has reinforcements or not, the longer this battle drags on, it will definitely be detrimental to us."
Looking away from Feng Jiuer, Xue Gu turned her head and looked at Tuoba Keyan.
"Qian Yan, go get ready and act as planned tonight."
"Okay." Before Feng Jiuer could say anything, Tuoba Keyan nodded and turned to leave.
"Xue Gu." Feng Jiuer was still worried.
Even if she is the one taking the risk, she doesn't want to see anything happen to the people around her.
"Jiu'er, let's just listen to Xue Gu on this matter." Xing Zizhou's voice sounded.
"No one here has as much combat experience as Xue Gu."
"Jiu'er." Xue Gu looked at Feng Jiu'er with a heavy look, "Since you can come back safely, I feel relieved."
"Looking at you now, it's like seeing your mother when she was young. You are brave and resourceful, but still not decisive enough."
"You have to remember that on the battlefield, your kindness is cruelty to yourself."
"I don't want you to grow up after something happens."
Perhaps thinking of the past, Xue Gu's face was full of regret.
"Such a blow is too cruel." She sighed lightly, and her hoarse voice continued.
"So, Jiu'er, you must let yourself grow up first before you can properly protect your brother. Don't regret it later."
"Aunt Xue." Feng Jiuer looked at Aunt Xue for a moment, her eyes flashing with silver light.
She wanted to go over, but her legs that she had just stepped out were a bit stiff.
What Xuegu said must have been what my mother had experienced back then.
Thinking of how her mother was in agony, Feng Jiuer felt as if she could feel it with her own body.
I feel bad, but I can't express it.
Xue Gu waved her hand to stop her from approaching.
"For example, you must make a prompt decision when it comes to surrendering troops."
"You have to know that if they can pick up knives and guns again, they will still be targeting your people. Do you understand?"
Feng Jiuer looked at Xue Gu, took a deep breath, pursed her lips and walked over.
She gently lifted up a few loose strands of black hair for Xue Gu and nodded seriously.
"Xue Gu, I understand what you said. Jiu'er must not be soft-hearted in doing things in the future, but what happened tonight..."
Xue Gu patted Feng Jiuer's shoulder, her pursed lips finally raised the slightest arc.
"I won't let myself get into trouble so easily. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You just hold on and wait until we come back."
"Xue Gu, having said that, I still..."
"Okay." Xue Gu interrupted Feng Jiuer again, "Qian Yan and I still have many things to arrange."
"We will set off after the ugly time. Now that everyone is here, let's start discussing the next plan. Time is running out."
"Jiu'er, just follow Aunt Xue's plan." Qiao Mu's voice came from not far away.
Feng Jiuer looked back at Qiao Mu, then at Huo Baixue, then turned her eyes back to Aunt Xue, and finally nodded.
"Okay, Aunt Xue, please tell everyone your specific plan, so that we can do a good job in responding."
"Yes." Qiao Mu nodded and said, "Relevant matters must be arranged well and we cannot act rashly."
Xue Gu looked at everyone and nodded, took Feng Jiuer's hand, and walked to the center with her.
In the tent, Xue Gu pointed to the map prepared by Feng Jiuer and Xiao Yingtao, and talked about tonight's plan in detail with everyone.
Feng Jiuer, Qiao Mu, Xing Zizhou, Xiao Yingtao and Huo Baixue were all very serious and even gave some advice from time to time.
The whole discussion process lasted for about half an hour.
Half an hour later, everyone left the tent and went in different directions.
At three o'clock in the ugly hour, the quietest moment of the day, the two men in black left the war camp in the valley and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
