"We can't send reinforcements to Yizhou, and even if we can, it will take several months.”
As he said that, Master and disciple Shang couldn't help but become irritated.
"In that case, what should we do?”
Therefore, he really couldn't think of a solution.
"Since it is not advisable to mobilize troops, we can only stick to one path at the moment.”
Wei Yuancheng thought for a moment and suggested.
"Yes, this is the safest way at the moment.”
The Underworld Master cooperated.
If Daxing City chose to defend to the death, the possibility of them helping to break through the city from the inside would increase.
"Not desirable."
However, Iron Staff Mai was straightforward and rejected the proposal.
Wei Yuancheng and the Underworld Master were stunned for a moment. If even this was not possible, then wouldn't they be unable to do anything and could only let nature take its course?
"Elder Mai, do you have a better idea?”
Master and disciple Shang asked.
"We must take the initiative to attack."
Iron Staff said word by word.
The moment he said that, the expressions of the Underworld Master and the others changed. They were taking the initiative to attack without reinforcements?
"Elder Mai, this…"
The faces of Master and disciple Shang twitched.
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was a highly respected old general, he would have already acted up on the spot.
But then again, there must be a reason why Old Mag said that.
He could only calm down and listen to what General Mai had to say.
"Let's hear it first."
As for the other two, they wanted to see what the other party was planning.
"It is precisely because the Han army is powerful that we urgently need a great victory against them.”
Mai Tiezhang began to speak slowly.
"Old General Mai is right, but it won't be easy to defeat the Han army.”
Master and disciple Shang frowned.
"Although the Han army rose quickly, don't forget that they have only started their army less than three months ago.”
Iron Staff sneered.
"Secondly, the Han army is expanding too quickly. Every territory they take needs soldiers to guard.”
Hearing this, Wei Yuancheng and the Underworld Master understood a little.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"This Old General Mai is indeed worthy of the emperor's trust. He does have some ability.”
Wei Yuancheng thought to himself.
"This has led to a shortage of troops. They don't have enough troops to use, even if they quickly recruit.”
"How good would the combat strength of the soldiers that were recruited at the last minute be? Why didn't our army take the initiative to attack?”
Mai Tiezhang raised his eyebrows and asked.
These words rendered Master Shang and his disciple speechless, unable to refute.
"Does anyone have any objections to this?”
After saying that, Iron Staff looked at everyone and asked.
"We have no objections."
The other three replied.
The stakes were already very clear. If he still objected, it wouldn't make sense.
"Alright, it's decided then."
Seeing this, Iron Staff Mai made his decision.
"Master and disciple Shang."
Then, Iron Staff fell into deep thought and looked at the figure beside him.
"At your command, Old General."
"I will transfer ten thousand cavalrymen and thirty thousand infantrymen from Daxing City to you.”
As he spoke, Iron Staff Mai raised his voice.
"Yes."
Master Shang cupped his hands in response.
"Master Yin Shi, you and I will still be in charge of the city's defense. Wei Yuancheng will help you with the government affairs.”
Then, Mai Tiezhang looked at the two of them.
"Yes."
The relevant instructions were finalized, and the group ended their discussion. Master Shang and his disciple left with the commander's seal.
Following that, he dispatched the corresponding troops and left Daxing City. As for Wei Yuancheng and Wei Yuancheng, they left together.
"Old General's actions are exactly what I want.”
The Underworld Master said in a low voice after leaving Taiji Palace.
Originally, he, Mai Tiezhang, and Master Shang were in charge of the defense of Daxing City.
Now that Master Shang and his disciple had left, only he and Mai Tieshang were left.
This meant that the Underworld Master could open at least two city gates before the Han army attacked.
"That's right. We'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is to make a trip to the Gao Manor.”
Wei Yuancheng said in a deep voice.
"Right, let's go to the Gao Residence first."
The Underworld Master nodded and had no objections.
The two of them walked to a secluded place, changed into ordinary clothes, and quietly headed to the Gao Mansion.
At the same time, in the courtyard outside Zhangsun Wugou's wing, Gao Xing had already told her in detail about the Han army.
"This goes along with Brother Cao's style. This is Wugou's fiancé, a true hero.”
Just as the father and son of the Gao family had thought, Zhangsun Wugou was extremely excited when he heard the news.
She held the engagement jade pendant from back then, and Brother Feng's face appeared in her mind.
"I believe that it won't be long before I can see Brother Feng again.”
Unknowingly, Zhangsun Wugou thought to himself in anticipation.
"Your two uncles are here.”
At this moment, Gao Shilian's voice suddenly sounded.
"He's here!"
Gao Xing couldn't help but be overjoyed. He lifted his leg and was about to leave.
"Cousin, I'll go too."
Zhangsun Wugou hurriedly said.
"Alright, let's go and take a look together."
Gao Xing nodded, and the two cousins left together. When they reached the hall, they saw the plainly dressed Underworld Master and Wei Yuancheng.
The two of them still entered the Gao Manor through the secret method of going through the side door.
"Brother Gao."
Wei Yuancheng and the Underworld Master cupped their hands and said.
"Haha, why are the two of you free to come today?”
Gao Shilian smiled and invited the two to sit down.
"Greetings, uncles."
At this time, Executive Gao specially brewed two cups of tea and served them.
"I'm afraid that Brother Gao already predicted that we would pay a visit.”
The Underworld Master said with narrowed eyes.
They had all received the news, so how could Gao Shilian not have it?
"You must be joking."
Gao Shilian waved his hand.
As for Zhangsun Wugou, he was a girl and was engaged. It was not good for him to show his face in public for the time being, so he listened in the Xuan Pavilion at the side.
Actually, she didn't have to come, but she still wanted to learn something through listening.
Perhaps in the future, he could help Brother Feng.
"Let's get straight to the point. I have to say, Brother Gao, you have a good nephew.”
"Not only did we take down the Hexi Corridor, but we also completed it in such a short time.”
Wei Yuancheng narrowed his eyes slightly at the mention of this matter.
"That's right, we've underestimated Cao Feng.”
The Underworld Master continued.
Looking at the expressions of his two good friends, Gao Shilian did not say anything on the surface, but he was actually quite happy.
"Since we have fulfilled our promise, we will officially join the Han Army.”
The Underworld Master's expression turned grave.
"That's right. I came here today to lay the foundation for future cooperation.”
At this moment, Wei Yuancheng added.
"Today's main topic is here."
Gao Shilian instantly perked up.
"That's great."
Whether it was Zhangsun Wugou who was in the Mysterious Pavilion or Gao Xing who was sitting next to the elders, they were all secretly happy.
With this, the strength of the Han army would rise to another level, and it would be easier to take down Daxing City.
"What do you think?"
Gao Shilian asked directly.
