Youzhou City.
After Xue Shixiong passed the news to Yang Guang, he quietly waited for Yang Guang's arrival.
Youzhou City was also recovering slowly.
However, last night, a warrior sneaked into Youzhou City to assassinate Yang Xuangan.
Xue Shixiong's deputy tried his best to stop him, and only then did Xue Shixiong arrive and defeat the assassin.
Yes, he was only repelled.
This was because the assassins were five martial artists at the Grandmaster Realm.
Xue Shixiong had lost a deputy general and hundreds of soldiers.
Xue Shixiong did not dare to be careless anymore, so he put on his armor and sat in the courtyard where Yang Xuangan was imprisoned. He did not sleep for the whole night and only closed his eyes to rest.
He had been waiting for the other party to make a move.
He knew who wanted to assassinate Yang Xuangan, and he also knew that the other party would not give up.
Especially when His Majesty was coming to Youzhou City soon, they would assassinate Yang Xuangan even more crazily.
However, after a night, the other party did not move at all.
What Xue Shixiong didn't know was that the net protecting Yang Xuangan last night was temporarily broken.
Now that the net had returned, the assassins who wanted to assassinate Yang Xuangan had returned.
It was nothing in front of the net.
With the protection of the net, Xue Shixiong had no chance to attack.
Although Xue Shixiong did not wait for the arrival of the assassin, he did wait for three military reports.
"Report!"
"General, General Wang has sent a military report.”
"Report!"
"General, General Li has sent a military report.”
"Report!"
"General, General Zhang has sent a military report.”
The three soldiers reported to Yang Xuangan.
Xue Shixiong read the three military reports and frowned slightly. His face was a little frightened.
"General, what did the military report say?”A deputy general beside Xue Shixiong asked.
Xue Shixiong didn't answer. Instead, he handed over three military reports.
After reading the military report, the deputy general's face was filled with fear. Then, he said with a trembling voice,
"General, what, what's going on? Which faction did it?"
Xue Shixiong shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.
"General, after the rebel army retreated, according to the information we received, the rebel army split into three groups. Each group has tens of thousands of troops.”
"In one night, two groups of tens of thousands of people were slaughtered. And that strange scene shows that these rebels were all martial artists.”
"How many warriors do they need? How did they appear in Youzhou? And why did they kill the rebel army?”
"Most importantly, why did they leave behind a group of rebels? Additionally, were they related to the fighters who sneaked into Youzhou City yesterday?”
"We don't know about the problem. However, His Majesty's army is about to arrive at Youzhou City.”
"We don't have much time to investigate. How should we answer His Majesty's question?”
Xue Shixiong's deputy approached Xue Shixiong with a worried expression and said in a low voice.
"I will tell His Majesty about these things. What we need to do now is to eliminate the surviving rebels.”
Xue Shixiong frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before speaking indifferently.
"General, I will personally lead my troops to destroy that rebel army. However, which mysterious force is it?"
Xue Shixiong interrupted the deputy general before he could finish his sentence.
"That mysterious force should be the one that appeared one day with a spider as its symbol.”
"Let's not bother about this force for now. This force has nothing to do with the cultivators who infiltrated last night.”
"His Majesty's army is about to reach Youzhou. The surviving rebel army must be eliminated before His Majesty's army reaches Youzhou.”
"Take 20,000 soldiers and have General Zhang cooperate with you. 30,000 soldiers should be enough to completely destroy the tens of thousands of rebel soldiers.”
"Yes, General." The deputy general accepted the order.
However, he was still worried that Yang Guang would blame Xue Shixiong, but he knew that Xue Shixiong was right.
The most important thing to do now was to completely eliminate the rebel army.
Only then could Yang Guang be happy and make up for his mistakes.
-
Within Youzhou.
In a large manor.
Now, it had become the camp of the rebel army. This rebel army was the surviving rebel army.
The leader of this rebel army was Li Bawang, whose original name was Li Ergou.
He was originally a slacker with nothing to do.
He was also a civilian who had taken the initiative to join the rebels.
He was not considered smart, but he was very good at bewitching people. After joining the rebels, he became a leader by his own means.
In the end, the rebel army split up. He bewitched some small leaders and became independent.
The other two rebel armies were trying to escape from Youzhou Province, but Li Bawang wasn't ready to do so.
He knew that if he left Youzhou, he would be nothing. He couldn't let go of his power.
But now, the day of his demise had arrived because the 30,000-strong army of the Sui Dynasty had surrounded him in this large manor.
"Old Beard, what do you think I should do now?”Li Bawang looked at an old man below and asked.
This old man could be considered Li Bawang's military advisor. Of course, he was only at the level of a dog-headed military advisor.
He didn't have any ability and could only recognize a few words. He was just a little cunning.
"Great King, the sky is about to turn dark. If we want to break out of the encirclement now, we can only wait until night.”The old man looked at the weather and replied.
"This idea is not bad, but will the Sui army wait until it gets dark?”Li Bawang thought for a moment and asked.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether the Sui army will wait until the sky turns dark or not. The sky will turn dark soon.”The old man smiled and replied.
"Oh! How did you know?" Li Bawang asked curiously.
"Great King, I also know that the sky is going to be dark soon. How many farmers don't know the color of the sky? This old bearded man used to be a farmer!”
Before the old man could answer, a fierce-looking brawny man sitting opposite the old man said.
Li Bawang laughed loudly when he heard that. He thought that the old man really had some ability!
"Alright, as long as it gets dark, the Sui army won't attack us tonight. When night comes, let the people rush to the outermost area, and we'll take the opportunity to escape in the middle.”
Night blindness was common in this era.
Fighting at night was no joke.
If he was not careful, it would become a situation where his own people killed his own people.
However, in this situation, they could only break out at night.
The rebel army's idea was good, but the Sui army's idea was the same as the rebel army.
The rebel army prepared to break out at night, and the Sui army also prepared to attack at night.
This was because the Sui army did not have much time to waste. Moreover, the generals of the Sui army knew the strength of the rebel army.
They were just a mob!
Even if they attacked the Sui army at night, the general was confident that he could completely destroy them.
