Book of Disaster

"This will be bad for the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court, and all of us. If the front line is lost, Hanyang City will be next. If the southwest is lost, the empire will be in danger."

At the end, Han Wuji's voice became much heavier.

"I wonder what the Lord wants us to do?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Bai Qi's words, Han Wuji laughed.

"Young Master is the son of the Bai family, and Miss Xu is also the daughter of the God of War. Both of them are outstanding people. I have talked about this with General Long Wei before, and he strongly recommended you two to me. Right now, the war is tense in the front and the country is in crisis. I need to stay in the city to ensure the safety of the city. Naturally, I cannot lead the troops to conquer and destroy the Dayu cavalry in person. So I hope that Young Master Bai and Miss Xu can take over this responsibility on my behalf, deal with the Dayu troops, and ease the threat to my Hanyang City. Han will fully support you two in the city, and I believe that you will not disappoint me."

"The court is in need of personnel right now. All the generals in the city have already gone to the front. Mr. Bai and Miss Xu are both from famous families. They will be able to easily deal with this small army. I will wait here for your victory report."

"I have already prepared the memorial. I will submit it to the court immediately after receiving good news from you two, and report your achievements."

"What? We haven't agreed yet!"

Zhou Yixian suddenly sat up straight and retorted loudly.

But Bai Qi stretched out a hand to stop him.

"Yes, sir, Bai Qi obeys your command."

"Haha, good! Master Bai, I will wait for good news. Someone, send you out!"

……

"Fuck! Bai Qi, that bastard clearly has bad intentions. How could you easily agree to him?"

As soon as he stepped out of the Frost Palace, Zhou Yixian immediately asked anxiously.

"There is no good banquet. I knew it long ago. This is the Hongmen Banquet."

Bai Qi said calmly.

"Hongmen Banquet?"

Everyone was stunned. What is the Hongmen Banquet? How come they have never heard of it?

"This Han Wuji is full of lies. He even claimed that General Longwei recommended us to him. I will never believe such words. We only need to ask General Longwei for a letter to find out the truth. Bai Qi, we can't let him get his wish." Zhou Yixian said angrily. "It's useless."

Bai Qi said solemnly

"The journey from the Xi'an training base to Hanyang City is long and will take several days. We can only use carrier pigeons, but carrier pigeons travel back and forth..."

"As for the pigeon exchanges, Han Wuji can just shirk responsibility and say he didn't receive them."

Xu Xuansu took over Bai Qi's words and continued:

"Han Wuji is the commander of Hanyang City. We are now leading an army, so nominally we should obey his orders. Not to mention that he pretended to be General Longwei's order. Even if this is not the case, he can still force us to deal with the Dayu cavalry with his identity."

"We have to accept this mission whether we want to or not. Bai Qi saw through this and accepted the mission directly according to his words."

"War is an extraordinary period. If we disobey, it will be like giving them an advantage and usurping the throne. This is a taboo. This Han Wuji... is a smiling tiger!"

Zhang Chi walked forward at this time and said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yixian was born in the Imperial Observatory and knew nothing about the politics in the court and the military. But Zhang Chi was different. The Zhang family was a military family and obviously knew something about this aspect.

"Not only that, the threat from the Daewoo cavalry is real. He ordered us to take on this mission now. It is a public duty and for the court. To put it in a broader sense, it is selfless and within his authority. If we contradict or refuse, it would be disobeying orders. Even if this matter is brought to the court, it will only be disadvantageous to us."

"The one in the Frost Palace... is much more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

Bai Qi also said in a deep voice.

If the other party used underhanded tricks and was arrogant and unreasonable, it would be easier to deal with him. But if they were being polite like they are now, everyone would be in a dilemma.

“This is flattery!”

Bai Qi sighed.

Several people nodded. Bai Qi was right. This was indeed a smiling tiger.

This is not only flattery, but also an open conspiracy!

There was no way they could refuse.

"But are we really so helpless that we can be exploited by him?"

Zhou Yixian was still unwilling to give in.

"For now, we can only follow his wishes and accept this mission to resolve the threat to Hanyang City. But... who says we can only be slaughtered by others?"

Bai Qi sneered:

"Crisis, crisis, is danger, but it can also be an opportunity. Have you forgotten? The battlefield is the fastest place to accumulate military merit. Han Wuji will definitely publicize that we took the initiative to take these tasks after today, and even say that we signed a military order. He will definitely do so if he wants to deal with us. But in this way, as long as we can successfully deal with the 5,000 Daewoo cavalry outside the city, this matter will be known to everyone. Even if Han Wuji wants to embezzle our credit, he can't do it. He must help us report to the court."

"Military merits during wartime are a hundred times more valuable than those during peacetime. If you have enough military merits, you can go to the military supply depot to select treasures, which is also good for us."

Bai Qi said.

Not only that, Xu Xuansu also nodded and said:

"Apart from the fact that Han Wuji wants to use this to deal with us, this is actually a golden opportunity to make merit. We are still in the reserve force and have no accumulation. The conflict with Sun Zhantian was only a small-scale conflict, but now the two countries are officially at war. Whether it is me, Bai Qi, or Zhang Chi, we all need this kind of military merit. This is also a chance for us to establish our prestige in the army. If it can be resolved smoothly, it will be of great benefit to us in the future."

"Besides, we will have to fight against Dayu sooner or later. This 'small group' of enemy troops is a precious training opportunity for us. Otherwise, if we rush into the battlefield rashly, the casualties will only be greater. Bai Qi took this into consideration and took the initiative to answer."

Bai Qi nodded. Xu Xuansu still understood him.

"You can only win, not lose."

Bai Qi said.

Training?

Zhou Yixian opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

But what Bai Qi said was also true. These three thousand new recruits had never been on a large battlefield. At a time like this, where else could there be a better opportunity to train their troops?

And then, Han Wuji really spread the matter widely, and the identities of both people were exposed.

Bai Qi and Xu Xuansu originally wanted to keep a low profile in the army, but after Han Wuji's move, it was impossible for them to keep a low profile.

Bai Qi and others quickly returned to their camp to think about countermeasures.

There is a long way to go. We have only been here for one day and don’t know anything. We can only collect enough information and then proceed step by step.

At noon, Hanyang City suddenly became bustling with activity, and many people rushed towards the city gate.

"The army is back, the army is back!"
