Book of Disaster

Bai Qi originally thought that the commander of Hanyang City called him here to show him a warning.

However, unexpectedly, Han Wuji's originally serious expression suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, looking extremely friendly.

"Mr. Bai, don't be so rigid. Just treat yourself like you are at home here."

"Haha, I've heard General Long Wei mention you a long time ago. He said you were a young talent with extraordinary talent, a rare talent that is rarely seen in a thousand years. Now that I see you, you are indeed a rare talent with extraordinary temperament."

Han Wuji looked at Bai Qi, his words full of admiration.

It was completely different from what Bai Qi and the others had expected.

The four of them were immediately stunned, and they were all a little unsure of what the Hanyang City commander meant.

"This... General, you are too kind."

Bai Qi frowned slightly and responded quickly with a humble demeanor.

However, deep down in my heart, I am extremely alert - the hidden crisis is the most deadly.

"Haha, the four of you don't have to be so reserved. Please take a seat."

Han Wuji smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Bai Qi and the others then noticed that above the generals, closest to Han Wuji, there were four extremely luxurious tables, on which were placed fragrant wines and delicacies.

The four of them were filled with surprise.

"This... is actually prepared for us?"

"What's going on? Isn't he here to cause trouble for us?"

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion.

"Thank you, sir."

Bai Qi bowed. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, showing a calm demeanor.

No matter what the other party's plan is, they will adapt to it.

"You all stand down!"

It was not until this time that Han Wuji waved to the generals in the hall.

"Yes, my lord!"

The generals in Hanyang City quickly saluted and withdrew.

Only Han Wuji, Bai Qi and others were left in the hall.

"Now that everyone is seated, let's get started."

After Bai Qi and the other three sat down one by one, Han Wuji smiled, appearing friendly yet dignified. He did not resemble the majestic image of the commander-in-chief of Hanyang City at all, and he did not put on airs at all.

"Mr. Bai should be aware of the tension between Dayuan and Dayu, right?"

Han Wuji spoke slowly, his eyes falling on Bai Qi.

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Although there were many delicacies in front of him, he didn't even look at them.

But Zhou Yixian had no scruples at all. He grabbed a shiny pig's trotter with one hand and started to devour it.

Han Wuji just glanced at Zhou Yixian's actions, and then refocused his attention on Bai Qi.

"In that case, I will speak frankly. I specially invited you to come here this time because I want to ask for your help with something."

Han Wuji spoke sincerely with a smile on his face, and then waved in the direction of His Highness. After a while, four guards came in carrying a huge sand table and carefully placed it next to everyone.

Bai Qi turned his head to examine the sand table, and saw that it was crisscrossed with mountains and rivers, like dragons winding across the land. It was exactly the terrain model of the southwestern region of the Yuan Dynasty.

Key locations were marked with small flags on the sand table. Bai Qi immediately recognized the location of Hanyang City as far as his eyes could see. To the southeast, according to the scale of the sand table, about a thousand miles away was the front line where fierce fighting was in full swing. The terrain there was dangerous, as if a giant dragon was lying on the ground. The densely distributed small flags depicted the fierceness of the battle.

As soon as the sand table was unfolded, everyone's eyes were fixed on it, except for Zhou Yixian who was still concentrating on eating.

"At present, the battle between Dayuan and Daewoo is fierce, and both sides have deployed a large number of troops. Daewoo had planned it long ago, and its offensive is unprecedentedly fierce. Both sides are constantly sending troops to the front line, and the consumption is extremely huge."

"Everything seems to be going smoothly over there in Daewoo, and the frontline is constantly receiving strong support. However, on our side, apart from sending a large number of support troops in the early stage, we encountered some difficulties later on, and the reinforcements were slow to arrive in time."

Han Wuji explained the situation to Bai Qi in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Bai Qi frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Han Wuji had been staring at Bai Qi, not missing any slight expression on his face. Seeing him frown, Han Wuji waved his hand lightly, and a small red flag shot out like an arrow and accurately inserted into the sand table in the southeast direction of Hanyang City.

When the red flag was hoisted, the eyes of several people present wavered slightly, as if they understood something.

Han Wuji's voice was steady and firm:

"Compared to the fierce war on the front line, the current situation in Hanyang City is the most urgent."

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at Bai Qi.

"Sir, you also personally experienced the unusual movement last night, right?"

"General, are you referring to the raiding Daewoo army?"

Bai Qi responded directly.

Han Wuji nodded and answered seriously:

"Exactly. What do you think of the strength of that unit, young master?"

"Strong, disciplined, and no pushover."

Bai Qi pondered for a moment and gave his judgment.

"You are right, sir. The biggest problem that Hanyang City is facing right now is precisely this army from Dayu."

Han Wuji showed approval on his face.

"Such a small force shouldn't be enough to pose a threat to our support operations at the front, right?"

Bai Qi was a little confused.

Han Wuji smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Bai Qi's question:

"A small group? Sir, what you said is not without reason. Their number is indeed small, only a mere 'five thousand'. Compared with the military strength of our Hanyang City, it is indeed not worth mentioning."

The audience nearby were shocked when they heard the number “five thousand people”.

"There are so many people?"

Bai Qi and Xu Xuansu looked at each other in surprise. You know, they set out from the Southwest Training Base, and together with Zhou Ning's regular army, there were only 3,000 troops.

"What you saw last night was just the tip of the iceberg of Dayu's cavalry. Their real number is far greater than this, and they act in a scattered manner, harassing us day and night. As long as our troops leaving the city are less than 5,000, they will gather together and use their superior numbers to destroy our forces. If we have the advantage in numbers, they will split into small groups and flee in all directions."

"If the army ignores them, they will harass the troops transporting food and grass in the rear. Once we decide to wipe them out, they will continue to contain us and keep a certain distance. This has been entangled with us for many days."

"It is said that the leader of this cavalry is a newcomer in Dayu Country, who is extremely proficient in military tactics and extremely powerful. They come and go like the wind, are well-trained, and work in perfect harmony. If we don't deal with this Dayu cavalry, we won't be able to stay safe in Hanyang City and won't be able to sleep at night, let alone effectively assist the troops on the front line."
