Chapter 794: Seizing the Troops

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“There are actually traces of the sudden rise of the Northern Yan army. For the past two years, the Northern Yan has been secretly accumulating wealth. A mysterious person provided endless wealth to the Northern Yan, so the Northern Yan dares to raise troops wantonly.”

“Mysterious man?”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. If not for the fact that she had all the money from the White Lotus Society, she would have thought that the White Lotus Society was funding Northern Yan behind her back.

She said thoughtfully, “Someone wants the Great Zhou to start a war with

Northern Yan? Purpose? The fisherman benefits from the fight?”

Su MO nodded. “We can’t rule out that possibility.”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Northern Yan hid it really well. We all thought that Northern Yan was so bold as to get close to the Western Jin, but if it has already lasted for two years, it has nothing to do with getting close to the Western Jin. No, it’s still related. In order to hide the truth, they deliberately pretended to get close to the Western Jin. They tried to please the Western Jin Emperor and sent the Princess of Northern Yan to the Western Jin to reconcile. It made us think that Northern Yan’s backing is strong because it has the backing of Western Jin.”

In this way, everything that Northern Yan did could be traced.

Su MO paused for a moment. “It’s true that it wants to hide the origin of its wealth and wants to cozy up to the Western Jin. Northern Yan probably understands that what it did was to ask a tiger for its skin. After dealing with the Great Zhou, in order to prevent the other party from counterattacking, Northern Yan will pull the Western Jin to its side first.”

“Why can’t it be the Western Jin?” Qin Canglan asked.

“That’s possible.” Su MO looked at his sister. “You’ve seen the Western Jin Emperor. What’s his personality?”

Su Xiaoxiao recalled and shook her head. “I can’t see through him. I only know that he cherishes talent. I don’t think it’s the Western Jin. Wei Qing is a strategist of the Western Jin. Every move of the Western Jin can’t be hidden from him. He won’t provide financial support to Northern Yan.”

Su MO nodded. “No matter what, we have to get rid of Northern Yan’s ambition.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed with this.

Northern Yan had killed so many sons of the Wei family, harmed so many soldiers of the Great Zhou, burned, killed, and plundered countless commoners at the border. These debts had to be paid!

Qin Canglan looked at Su Mo. “You said that you found two pieces of information. What’s the second piece of information?”

Su MO said seriously, “Helian Ye has gathered 100,000 troops in Feng City.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “Didn’t Helian Ye go to Wu Town? We heard it with our own ears that night.”

Su MO said, “Wu Town was fake news released by Helian Ye. There’s indeed a someone who looks like Helian Ye there, but this was a substitute.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “Is Wei Ting going to miss? If it’s a 100,000-strong army, will it be troublesome to break through the Broken North Pass?”

When Su MO spoke to her, he subconsciously softened his voice. “Speaking of which, there’s good news. The snow outside Feng City has sealed the mountain and blocked the path; 100,000 soldiers cant get through. They can’t come to

Broken North Pass for the time being.”

Qin Canglan took out the map and spread it on the table.

He pointed at a forest outside the southern gate of the barbican city. “Northern Yan camped here. Now, the commander of Northern Yan is Tuoba Lie. He brought 100,000 troops. 20,000 of them were involved in the siege of Zi Town a few days ago. 10,000 were killed by the small Crimson Shadow Army, and the remaining 8,000 fled. When these 8,000 troops converged with Tuoba Lie’s, it was 90,000 troops. If you count Helian Ye’s… that’s almost 200,000 troops.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the map and asked, “Grandpa, how many troops do we have?”

Qin Canglan said, “Your Crimson Shadow Army has 10,000. Mo’er’s troops in Zi Town adds another 10,000. In addition to the 20,000 Qin family troops that are coming, there are 40,000.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “How many troops does Leng Kui have?”

Qin Canglan frowned and said, “50,000, but we can’t count on it. He won’t take the initiative to start a war with Northern Yan.”

It was already good enough that Leng Kui did not turn around and hit his own people.

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and chuckled. “A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Emperor Jing Xuan is the same. He’s as cowardly against Northern Yan as he is ruthless against the Nanyang King’s family.”

“Marshal!”

Liu Ren’s anxious voice sounded outside the tent.

“Come in,” Qin Canglan said.

Liu Ren entered with a small note and cupped his hands to greet the three of them. He came to Qin Canglan and said with a complicated expression, “I just received a letter from a pigeon. The Qin family’s army encountered an avalanche near Jia County.”

“How are the casualties?” Qin Canglan asked.

Liu Ren said, “General Tong Ke discovered it in time and led the army back to avoid it. There were not many casualties. General Tong Ke himself was injured in saving the warhorse.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do they have anything to eat?”

Liu Ren was stunned for a moment before saying, “Yes, they brought food.”
