I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Xiao Yunchao shook his head.

"No, Dad and General Bai don't know how to fly a battleship yet."

"However, fortunately, they know how to use the weapons on the battleship, so they can turn the tide."

"My fourth brother's wife said that my father and General Bai don't know how to fly a warship, so we can only wait for my second brother to figure it out."

This battleship must be so difficult to sail that even General Bai is helpless.

He could understand that his father couldn't understand it, because his father was just a pure warrior and his father could not understand complicated drawings.

But General Bai is a man of both civil and military talents. Even he cannot drive a battleship, which shows that a battleship is not something that ordinary people can handle.

Xiao Yunyou frowned and looked up at the rainy sky.

"Let's go, the rain is getting lighter, let's continue on our journey..."

As he spoke, Xiao Yunyou ignored the rain and snow hitting his face, gritted his teeth, and rode his horse forward.

Xiao Yunchao took a deep breath and immediately chased after him...

In fact, he also wanted to ask his eldest brother about the situation.

But my fourth brother’s wife didn’t say anything, so I guess everything should be going well for my eldest brother.

........

"Your Highness, the next city is Huanlian City, then Lingxiao City, and after that is the Imperial City."

Cong Chongqiu unfolded the blueprint, pointed at Huanlian City and continued,

"I'm afraid Huanlian City is even harder to attack than Chiyan City."

It was easy to capture each city before.

The weather was cold, and there was a shortage of food and water. Groups of refugees gathered at the city gates.

When they attacked, it couldn't be called an attack; it should be said that the whole city warmly welcomed them.

Especially when the people knew that the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family had been eliminated by him, they all applauded.

It can be seen that the Wu Ma family is really unpopular in Xiliang Kingdom.

The Wu Ma family has kept all the wealth within their own family and does not care about the lives of the common people. It would be strange if they could win the hearts of the people.

Xiao Yunhao glanced at the blueprint and frowned slightly.

"Which general is stationed in Huanlian City?"

Cong Chongqiu looked at Xiao Yunhao, "Shi Qiang's brother Shi Jian."

"Because Huanlian City is relatively close to the Imperial City and the area is spacious and flat, the Imperial City's reserve troops are all in Huanlian City."

"According to conservative estimates, Huanlian City has at least 200,000 soldiers."

"Shi Jian loves his younger brother Shi Qiang very much and will definitely not surrender easily."

"The Shi family is all of the same character. They only care about winning and don't care about the lives of their soldiers."

Xiao Yunhao raised his eyelids and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Find someone to draw a portrait of Shi Jian. We need to capture the leader first. Once Shi Jian is dealt with, everything will be easy."

He doesn't have time to engage in a protracted war with Shi Jian now, so the easiest way is to deal with Shi Jian directly.

It would take six or seven days to capture Huanlian City and reorganize the entire city. With so many soldiers to be recruited and persuaded, six or seven days would be considered fast.

If the battle takes any more time, it will delay his progress.

How could this work since his fourth brother’s wife was almost done with the Wu Ma family and he hadn’t even reached the imperial city yet?

Cong Chongqiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to draw it right away."

He had met Shi Jian four or five years ago and his impression of him was a bit vague.

However, he remembered Shi Jian's character very clearly: arrogant, wild and insolent.

"Prince!" Ma Chengye shouted outside the door.

Xiao Yunhao looked towards the door and said, "Come in."

Ma Chengye pushed the door open and walked in. "Chiyan City has been suffering from drought for a long time. I cannot pray for rain, so I need help from outside."

As soon as he stepped into Chiyan City, he knew that he would not be able to get rain this time.

Due to geographical reasons, the conditions for praying for rain here are not good enough. He can barely summon dark clouds, and he also needs the God-King's artillery shells to blast down the rain.

Xiao Yunhao pursed his slightly dry lips and said, "The altar for praying for rain has been set up. I will ask the God King to grant me a rain-making artifact."

All the wells in Chiyan City have dried up.

People dying of starvation and thirst could be seen everywhere in the city.

Logically speaking, Chiyan City is so close to the imperial city, so the water source should not be so scarce.

Upon asking, I found out that Shi Jian had diverted all the water from Chiyan City to Huanlian City.

The terrain of Chiyan City is slightly higher than that of Huanlian City, so drainage is very easy.

Shi Jian wants to maintain his army, so naturally he doesn't care about the lives of the people in Chiyan City.

Lingxiao City is the base camp of the Wu Ma family. He doesn't dare to touch the water of Lingxiao City, but he dares to touch the water of Chiyan City.

As a result of Shi Jian's actions, Chiyan City, which could have held on for a while, was almost becoming a deserted city a month ago.

So when Xiao Yunhao led his troops into Chiyan City, it was as if he was entering an empty city, and he occupied Chiyan City very smoothly.

Most of the soldiers defending Chiyan City had fled, and all of them went to Huanlian City to join Shi Jian.

Ma Chengye nodded and said, "Yes, I have already asked someone to build an altar for praying for rain."

He was in charge of praying for rain along the way, and the people who built the altar for praying for rain had already been decided.

Whenever he arrived in a city, his men would immediately search the entire city for a convenient place to build an altar for praying for rain.

It would be best to have a ready-made place, which can be used as an altar for praying for rain with a few minor modifications.

After Xiao Yunhao watched Cong Chongqiu and Ma Chengye leave, he frowned while looking at the drawings.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Lin Yiran.

[Fourth brother and sister-in-law, this time we need to use the rain-making artifact. ]

Lin Yiran, [Okay, just send me a message when you are ready.]

Xiao Yunhao, [Yes, the altar for praying for rain has been built, and we should pray for rain tomorrow morning.]

Lin Yiran, [Okay, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, it's a good day, let the people have a happy New Year.]

[Brother, the God King will grant a New Year's Eve banquet tomorrow night. Please prepare an empty table and let's have a good New Year.]

[Okay, thank you, God King, and thank you, my fourth brother's wife. Is my fourth brother's wife still in Snow City? ]

[Yes, after spending the New Year in Snow City, we headed west. Big brother, have you reached Chiyan City? ]

【yes.....】

【...】

Xiao Yunhao told Lin Yiran about the situation in Chiyan City, and also said that he was going to go alone to get rid of Shi Jian.

Lin Yiran naturally agreed. Shi Jian's mansion did not have any perverted mechanisms like the Wu Ma family. With his eldest brother's skills, it would be no problem for him to deal with Shi Jian.

With Lin Yiran's support, Xiao Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ever since he was trapped in the Wu Ma family's death squad training base last time, he was afraid that his fourth brother's wife would lose confidence in him and would not let him act alone.

Fortunately, my fourth brother’s wife has confidence in him.

Tomorrow night, after having the reunion dinner with the soldiers, I will go to send Shi Jian his last meal.

In order to win a quick victory and capture Xiliang Kingdom, he had to go to Japan.

His fourth brother's wife didn't want to keep the Japanese bloodline, so he had to supervise this matter personally.

My father and my second and third brothers are somewhat kind-hearted, so they might not do things cleanly enough.
