One of them was Peng Yingyu, whose alias in the army was Peng Ming. He was promoted to the rank of Decurion because of his hard work during the military training.
The other person was also a member of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, so he observed the other person a few more times. The two of them chatted for a while, but did not seem to be interested in fighting at all. Then they returned to their respective tents.
Late at night, Peng Yingyu couldn't fall asleep. She got up and strolled around, but she remembered that this was a military camp. Just as she was rushing back, her ears twitched, and she heard a strange aura.
Peng Yingyu concealed herself and went forward to check.
A soldier was practicing martial arts. He held a long sword in his hand. Under the moonlight, the sword gleamed with silver light. The aura of the sword made Peng Yingyu feel frightened. It was as if she would be injured by the sword aura if she got close.
And this person was actually Ji Xiaofu.
Ji Xiaofu was having a night class. She was teaching her swordsmanship and martial arts to the outstanding generals in the army. Of course, Ji Xiaofu would not teach her the profound swordsmanship of the Emei Sect. Zhang Yang had gathered all the swordsmanship that he had seen recently and taught it to Ji Xiaofu before teaching it to the generals.
Peng Yingyu didn't know why this delicate-looking man had such a girly name. After seeing this sword technique, she only had one thought in her mind: "This army is indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Even an expert like him has to go through military training before he can enter the army.”
"It seems to be similar to the Emei Sword Style?" Peng Yingyu frowned slightly. Wasn't the Emei Sword Art practiced by women? However, this was very different from the Emei Sword Art. However, she didn't know what the difference was.
Zhang Yang had modified the [Emei Sword Technique], making it more suitable for the battlefield.
"No, Ji Xiaofu is a woman!" Peng Yingyu's eyes were fixed on Ji Xiaofu. She did not expect that there was such a woman in the army.
Now, while the other party was practicing martial arts, he could tell that she was obviously a woman. Her characteristics were too obvious.
He was shocked, There are actually women in the army?'
"Forget it, let's see what he plans to do.”Peng Yingyu murmured. The shock on her face disappeared, and her figure slowly disappeared at the foot of the mountain.
Ji Xiaofu's expression was determined. She had requested to join the army. She thought that she had been weak in the past and had encountered many dangers. Now was the best time to practice martial arts, so she had proposed to join the army to hone herself.
Zhang Yang had a headache over Ji Xiaofu's personality. How could he improve her strength? The two of them hit it off and Zhang Yang went to the military camp.
Zhang Yang would not let her through the back door just because she knew someone. He would not let her go through a series of strict tests and let her obtain something that she had never obtained before.
Fairness!
Furthermore, Zhang Yang had also modified the Emei Sword Technique that could only be used for defense. He had renamed it the Flowing Water Sword Technique. The concept of the sword technique was derived from flowing water, but it was divided into two levels.
The first level was the Emei Sword Style's 'Virtuous as Water's Boundless Round'. The long sword protected the whole body, making it difficult for people to carry out effective attacks.
The second level was to cut off the water with a knife and make it flow even more. When attacked, it would immediately counterattack, borrowing strength to fight back. The more it fought, the stronger it became. It was somewhat borrowing the shadow of Taiji.
As Miejue's favorite disciple, Ji Xiaofu had naturally learned the Emei Sword Style long ago. Now, she was practicing the Broken Water Flow Sword Style, which was the second level of the Flowing Water Sword Style. The longsword in her hand became faster and faster, and also more and more fierce. It was the complete opposite of her weak temperament from before.
At the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Yang gathered the five Battalion Commanders to discuss the current situation.
"Everyone, even though we are now teaching the people to cultivate and weave, we are still short of food. The army already has 3,500 people, and the daily consumption is extremely large. If we can't find reinforcements, it may be difficult for us to advance. Therefore, we have called you here to see if you have any good ideas.”Zhang Yang looked at everyone.
Everyone frowned and thought for a long time, but they didn't seem to have any idea.
"Commander, what do you want to take down next?" Xu Da asked.”
Zhang Yang smiled and said," Of course it's Jiqing Road. It's not far from Hanshui City. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. The land is vast and rich in food. If we can take it down, it'll be enough to replenish our military rations for a few years."”
Everyone nodded. Chang Yuchun looked at the map and said,""Commander, if we want to take Jiqing Road, we have to pass through He Prefecture. Otherwise, even if we leave a portion of our 3,000 soldiers to guard it, the daily consumption will be even greater. At that time, we will probably be at the end of our rope. Therefore, we can only choose to cross the Yangtze River and reach Jiqing Road!”
"How do we cross the Yangtze River?" Zhang Yang nodded.”
Chang Yuchun saw a red dot on the map and said coldly,""Since it passes through the He Prefecture, we can only attack it by force.”
"That's right. Hezhou is close to the Yangtze River and has abundant food reserves. If we can take it down, it will be extremely beneficial to our army. We can also cross the Yangtze River to the east and catch Jiqing Road unprepared.”Deng Yu said with a firm expression.
"Commander, this general also supports taking down He Prefecture. Although that place has more troops than Han River City, we are no longer the ignorant people of the past. It will be very easy to attack.”Feng Sheng nodded.
Seeing everyone nod, Li Wenzhong naturally wouldn't reject it. He nodded and said,""That's right, I agree to attack."
"General Xu, do you have any objections?" Zhang Yang looked at Xu Da.”
Xu Da said in a serious tone," I think we must attack the He Prefecture as soon as possible. If they know that we are going to attack, we will not be able to win this battle. Therefore, we can only strike first and take them by surprise.”
"That's right, I think so too." Zhang Yang nodded.”
"We've just experienced two consecutive wars. The generals of the He Province think that we're out of tricks and won't attack rashly. Therefore, this surprise attack will probably have a miraculous effect.”Zhang Yang said excitedly.
Hanshui City and Hankou City were just a small town. The area was too small, and most of the land was uncultivated. There was no way it could accommodate 3,000 soldiers. Therefore, Zhang Yang decided to station the army outside the city.
However, this was not a long-term solution. The only solution now was to take down Jiqing Road. That place could completely accommodate the 3,500-man army and even expand his army!
That place was an important place for the militarists. It was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and had extraordinary luck. Even Zhu Zhongba had only begun to show his talents after he took over that place and proclaimed himself king.
Now, he would replace Zhu Zhongba and repeat history!
"Alright, everyone make your own plans. We'll design this attack plan today and strive to take down He Prefecture within three days!”
"Yes, Commander." The five of them said in unison.
Thus, the five of them, including Li Wenzhong from the logistics department and Deng Yu from the torture hall, had all designed their own routes.
The six of them lit the lamp and went on a night business. Finally, they chose a good plan among countless rejected plans. At this time, the sky was already bright and the rooster was crowing.
"It's daybreak. Don't let this matter leak out. Only the six of us know about it.”Zhang Yang waved his hand and said," Go back and get some rest. Remember this route well. We will start our attack soon."”
"Yes, Commander!"
The five of them packed their luggage and took their leave.
