Chapter 44
The peaceful scene of that day seemed to have become the last song. From the second day after Meng Wu led his army into the city, an aura of impending rain appeared in Nozawa City.
First, a large number of commoners transported countless rations to Yeze. Then, Meng Wu began to plan. The entire Chief Official's Office became a large military camp, and orders were passed in one after another.
When Meng Wu arrived, Yun Zong took the initiative to leave the Chief Official's Mansion for this internal historian to live in while he returned to the Breaking Ranks Camp in the city.
These few days, his injuries were gradually recovering, but he didn't dare to be negligent. Zhang Han, who was training in the Breaking Ranks Camp, was even more attentive. The intensity of the training was so great that even some of the old soldiers could not take it. However, no one complained. Some of the new recruits would even be slapped by their sergeant when they complained, telling them to train harder so that they would have a chance to survive on the battlefield in the future.
Meng Tian had been coming to the Breaking Ranks Camp almost every day for the past few days to train with the soldiers.
In the beginning, Zhang Han was still a little hindered by the relationship between his superior and subordinate, so he could not do anything to Meng Tian. After being instructed by Yun Zong, he simply let Meng Tian follow by his side. He passed on his many years of battle formation experience and the method of three-man battle in the Breaking Ranks Camp to him.
The relationship between the two of them grew rapidly, and Meng Tian even called Zhang Han as her elder brother.
Yu Lan had seen all of this, but she never asked about it or went to the encampment of the Yin-Yang School disciples. She only stayed by Yun Zong's side every day.
Meng Tian found it strange. She even asked Zhang Han about their relationship in private, but how would Zhang Han dare to gossip about his lieutenant behind his back? Therefore, he could only stammer and not explain in detail.
But fortunately, Meng Tian was not stupid. She seemed to have guessed something and her attitude towards Yu Lan became more respectful.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The autumn season had finally reached its peak and its end.
Early in the morning, Yu Lan put on a fox fur coat that she got from somewhere and told Yun Zong directly,"
"In three days at most, the first snow will fall.”
Her words seemed to have become a signal. After half a month, the Zhao army finally started their first battle against the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo gathered 200,000 troops and split them into the left, middle, and right armies to move towards the Qin camp.
When Meng Wu received the news, Yun Zong finally received his first order.
Everyone moved out, bypassing Changyuan City and taking the Road of Korea straight into the Zhao army's hinterland, cutting off the supply route.
This was the secret order Baiqi had given Meng Wu before he left.
Yun Zong finally understood why these 23,000 soldiers were all cavalry. From the start, Baiqi did not plan to fight the 400,000 soldiers gathered in Changping. Instead, he planned to rely on his mobility to cut off the supply line while Zhao Kuo's army was closing in and the rear was empty, turning Changping into a lonely city.
Seeing Baiqi's secret order, Yun Zong asked Meng Wu,
"General, will my Breaking Ranks Camp be defending the western camp?”
Meng Wu nodded.
"That's right. Ever since the formation of the Breaking Ranks Camp, no one has ever broken into the garrison. Therefore, this mission belongs to you. Commandant Yun, all the supplies for our twenty-three thousand people are in the hands of your Breaking Ranks Battalion. Are you confident?”
Zhang Han raised his head slightly to look at his commandant. He knelt on one knee and said calmly,"
"General, don't worry. Before the last person of our Breaking Ranks Battalion dies, there won't be any loss of rations.”
"That's good! Wei and Han have reached an agreement with our country, so this time we will borrow the Han country's Shangdang and enter directly. Go and prepare. We'll set off tomorrow!"
'Understood!“
Yun Zong cupped his fists and nodded.
Seeing that he had agreed, Meng Wu looked at Yu Lan and the purple-haired Yi.
"The 200 disciples of the Yin-Yang School are with the Breaking Ranks. The Hundred Schools of Philosophy have been quite active in the State of Zhao recently. Yunzong is a soldier, not a martial artist. You don't know much about the people of Jianghu, so you're helping them defend the camp. Is there a problem?”
Yu Lan nodded and bowed.
"Yes, Yin-Yang School."
After Meng Wu finished his instructions, he looked at Xuan Qiwu. Xuan Qiwu naturally knew what he meant and said directly,
"Please rest assured, General. With me around, if anything happens to Nozawa City, I will bring my head to see you!”
"Good! Since that was the case, he would go and prepare.”
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone filed out. When Yun Zong walked out, Yu Lan and Zhang Han followed behind him. Accompanying her was Xiaoyi, who had not said a word until now.
Yun Zong looked at the gloomy weather and said to the person beside him,
"This is a battle between the fates of the two countries. We can't be careless. Zhang Han, get all the brothers ready. Whether the attack succeeds or not depends on this one time. As for…"
Yu Lan looked at Yun Zong's gaze suddenly turning to her, somewhat puzzled as to what he wanted to say, revealing an expression of listening attentively.
Yun Zong's eyes turned, and he finally said,"
"Be careful."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the manor, and Zhang Han quickly followed behind him.
Only Yu Lan's beautiful eyes flickered with a little light. She suddenly asked Xiaoyi, who was silent beside her,
"Xiaoyi, do you think…the position of Great Si Ming is…more important than him? Which is more important?"
After Xiaoyi heard this, she looked at Yun Zong's back and shook her head calmly.
