These words made Mo Bai laugh in anger: "You son of a bitch, it's no wonder you can't advance. With the great battle imminent, why are you still distinguishing between men and women?"
"Yes, yes, I deserve to be so blind, that's why I came to find you." Having been scolded, Wu Xu had no interest in arguing with the other party about such trivial matters.
Mo Bai paused for a moment, then said, “Let’s split up. You go and inform General Chen Sheng, and I’ll go and inform General Hong Ming.”
Wu Xu nodded repeatedly: "Then it's settled. I'll go now!"
After saying that, he ran out of the tent without looking back, as if afraid that the other party would regret it the next second.
Watching Wu Xu walk away, Mo Bai couldn't help but smile wryly: "You little rascal, you really know how to give me a hard time. If you don't dare to go and call him, how can I?"
As he spoke, he quickly put on his clothes and armor, and then hurriedly ran towards the central army camp.
After arriving outside the camp, he hesitated for a moment before steeling his resolve and saying, "Your Highness, don't blame me for being rude later!"
As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted, "Is General Hongming here? Has General Hongming gotten up yet?"
Inside the central command tent, Hongming suddenly opened his eyes: "Who goes outside? What do you want with me at this hour?"
Clearly, Hongming was already used to being woken up in the middle of the night and didn't seem to mind.
Outside the tent, Mo Bai's face lit up with joy upon hearing the reply: "This subordinate is Mo Bai. General Hongming, please quickly put on your armor. The prince has given the order that the army may set off immediately!"
Inside the tent, Hongming looked puzzled: "Mo Bai? Didn't Chen Nan lead men to destroy the supplies? How can military orders still be coming back?"
Although he expressed his doubts, his hands moved without slowing down at all.
After saying that, the person walked out.
When she saw Mo Bai's anxious face, she realized that things were not as simple as she thought.
Before long, Wu Xu approached the two of them with Chen Sheng, who was already prepared.
When the four of them were face to face, Wu Xu repeated what had just happened.
After finishing his explanation, he cleared his throat and said, "His Highness has given an order!"
"Order Chen Sheng to lead his 5,000 iron cavalry to intercept the heavily armored troops on their way to Wei Capital. There is no need to inflict any losses on them; simply hinder their advance!"
"Ling Hongming shall personally lead 10,000 Mo Dao soldiers and the main force of the Northern Wei to return to the Wei capital. Once in the Wei capital, a blockade policy shall be implemented, allowing entry but not exit!"
The two men shouted in unison, "Your subordinates obey the order!"
It took about half an hour for the army to finally get ready.
Chen Sheng had led his five thousand cavalry out of the camp an hour earlier.
Meanwhile, in the darkness, on a main road, countless torches illuminated the path.
Without even looking closely, you can see that all the people holding torches are wearing identical black iron armor, and if you get closer, you can even see the armor gleaming coldly.
On the other side, up the slope, Zhao Yun looked down at the empty camp and said, "My lord, why don't I go and scout ahead first?"
Chen Nan waved his hand and said, "No need. I will go with you. We must destroy their supplies as quickly as possible."
Zhao Yun sighed. Chen Nan was unwilling, but he didn't say much. He just thought he should pay more attention later.
If the other side really had an ambush, he would risk his life to bring Chen Nan out alive.
Just then, Chen Nan looked up at the sky and pondered, "It's about time. The enemy has been gone for about half an hour. I don't think there will be any unexpected events."
Zhao Yun nodded in agreement: "Indeed, judging from the opponent's previous actions, it doesn't seem like they were holding back."
The two men exchanged a glance, and Chen Nan shouted, "Soldiers, follow me and charge!"
With that, he squeezed his legs together, and his warhorse, in pain, neighed and galloped down the hillside.
Chen Nan was on the side, while Zhao Yun followed closely behind him.
Behind the two, there were countless white horses covering the mountains and plains.
Soon, the group rushed into the depths of the mountain valley.
Chen Nan chuckled as he looked at the empty camp in front of him: "Nobody's here. Quick, go find the supplies!"
Although Wu Zixu had offered them positions, they still needed to confirm them first.
The two walked slowly toward the center, followed by hundreds of riders.
When they reached the innermost part, they saw a purple camp built in front of them.
There is also a small purple tent on each side of the purple camp.
Chen Nan dismounted and was about to go forward to check when Zhao Yun reached out and stopped him.
He quickly waved his hand again, and two figures darted out from behind him, heading into the camp without hesitation.
Seeing this, Chen Nan felt that Zhao Yun, the head of security, was truly reliable. No wonder he was able to save the young master from an army of 830,000.
Soon, the two men who had entered the tent returned to Chen Nan's side and respectfully said, "My lord, we found millet and meat in the tent."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of bone with bits of food remaining in his hands: "My lord, although there is food in the camp, the amount is not much."
"It's estimated that we can only supply the 20,000 troops for about three days."
Chen Nan glanced at the soldier with surprise: "What's your name?"
He didn't believe a mere soldier could know so much.
The soldier was taken aback and lowered his head even further, thinking that he had done something wrong and stolen Chen Nan's thunder.
Just as he was about to be blamed, Zhao Yun interjected, "My lord, this man is my deputy general, named Xiahou Lan!"
"Xiahou Lan? You are Xiahou Lan?" Chen Nan exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately, the man raised his head, his brows furrowed with surprise and delight: "My lord, do you recognize me?"
Just kidding. Although Chen Nan wouldn't dare say he's thoroughly familiar with the books, he does know something about Xiahou Lan, just not much.
However, he still knew that Xiahou Lan had been by his side from the beginning and that Xiahou Lan himself was quite strong.
Seeing Xiahou Lan's fervent expression, Chen Nan couldn't bring himself to discourage her, so he could only say, "Of course, I care deeply about my subordinates. You've done a good job, and you'll be richly rewarded in the future!"
Then he ordered, "Gather all this grain and fodder together and set it on fire!"
"Huh? Burned...burned? Isn't that a bit wasteful, my lord?" Xiahou Lan, who had just been appreciated, asked in confusion.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft hum from the side.
Looking up, he saw Zhao Yun staring at him with a displeased expression.
Seeing this, Chen Nan comforted him, "Zilong, he's still your fellow townsman and your deputy general. Don't scare him like that."
In response to Xiahou Lan's question, Chen Nan patiently explained: "First of all, our mission this time is to destroy the enemy's supply train. Now that we have found the enemy's supply train, our goal is to destroy it as quickly as possible."
"It's unrealistic to take everything with us, so burning it is the best option."
"Of course, given your outstanding performance this time, each of you may choose a small piece of meat to take away!"
Chen Nan had no choice. Others were risking their lives to pave the way for him, so if he didn't say something, it would be too much.
Given the current situation, he had no better reward, so he could only choose the best among the worst and let each soldier take a small piece of meat.
