The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Two thousand was not a small number. In Duan Tianyang's impression, there was no rebel force in the Xiguan area with more than two thousand people.

"In the Xiguan area, is there any rebel group with a size of more than 2,000 people? How come I don't know about it?" Duan Tianyang asked with confusion.

"That's not the case, Lord Duan. It was the three rebel armies combined that reached this number."

"Which three?"

"The first one is the rebel army led by Wang Xi. He has the largest number of subordinates, about 800 people. They are the main force besieging our Longsha City. The other two are the rebel armies led by Tian Jiu and Bai Qi. These two armies have about 500 people each."

"Draw out their distribution locations for me." Duan Tianyang immediately gave the order and asked people to prepare paper and pen.

Chen Wu then roughly outlined the locations of the three rebel forces outside Longsha City on the drawing.

Duan Tianyang listened and watched carefully, nodding from time to time to show that he understood.

Then he asked again: "Who is Wang Xi? Who are Tian Jiu and Bai Qi? Please give me a detailed introduction."

After all, as the art of war says, only by deeply understanding the enemy can you win every battle.

Chen Wu said solemnly, "Wang Xi was a notorious bandit leader in the past. Unfortunately, he was caught by the law and was imprisoned on death row, waiting to be executed in the autumn. However, he managed to escape, gathered his old subordinates, and recruited many bandits to establish a rebel army. Tian Jiu was also a bandit, and most of his rebels were his old subordinates. Bai Qi was originally a merchant in Longsha City. He was always generous and righteous, but because he had a deep grudge with City Lord Wen, the rebels rose up recently, and he also led the people to rise up, commanding more than 500 rebels."

The City Lord Wen that Chen Wu mentioned was none other than the City Lord Wen Ping of Longsha City.

Duan Tianyang listened with great interest, and thought to himself: Wang Xi and Tian Jiu, although they were called rebels, were actually more like a large gang of bandits. As for Bai Qi, he was a little special. What deep hatred did he have with Wen Ping that made him abandon his stable business and risk being beheaded to join the rebels?

He asked curiously, "What kind of personal grudge is there between Bai Qi and City Lord Wen?"

"this……"

Guan Hu reprimanded him in a dissatisfied voice: "Just answer what Brother Tian asks you truthfully. Why are you hesitating?"

Chen Wu answered hesitantly: "Yes... the city lord had planned to marry Bai Qi's daughter, but Bai Qi refused. The city lord therefore ordered Bai Qi to send his daughter to the city lord's mansion as soon as possible, otherwise he would be punished." While speaking, Chen Wu glanced at Duan Tianyang from time to time to observe his reaction.

Duan Tianyang frowned when he heard this and cursed in his heart: This is simply rape of a woman. There are many such plots in TV dramas!

He said dissatisfiedly: "How can others not rebel when your master forcibly seizes a woman like this?"

Chen Wu hurriedly explained: "It is a blessing for their family that the city lord likes his daughter. It is Bai Qi who is ignorant and insists on not obeying..."

Duan Tianyang sneered and said sarcastically: "As far as I know, Wen Ping is already old and has too many wives to count. He still wants to continue to marry concubines. Should I say that he is in good health or that he thinks about women every day?"

Isn't this just a complete old pervert!

"This..." Chen Wu didn't know how to answer and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Duan Tianyang frowned and said in a deep voice: "You can go back. When you return to Longsha City, tell City Lord Wen that our Yunzhong Army will rush to help tonight at the latest. As long as you defend Longsha during the day, the rebels outside the city will naturally dissipate by night."

Hearing this, Chen Wu was stunned at first, then a trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes. He quickly bowed deeply to Duan Tianyang and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Lord Duan. I will take my leave now and go back to tell the Lord City Lord this good news!"

Duan Tianyang waved his hand to signal him to leave, his tone full of impatience: "Go ahead."

Chen Wu's face was filled with joy and his excitement was beyond words. He bowed deeply to Duan Tianyang again, then turned around and left the hall with brisk steps.

When Chen Wu disappeared from sight, everyone present came forward and asked curiously, "Brother Tian, ​​are we really going to Longsha City tonight?"

Duan Tianyang nodded in confirmation: "Yes, we must go."

Everyone immediately looked confused: "Then how many troops should we bring?"

"Two hundred people are enough." Duan Tianyang's tone was firm.

"What? Only two hundred people?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise, with disbelief written all over their faces. "Didn't Chen Wu just say that there are nearly two thousand rebels outside Longsha City? We only have two hundred people and want to fight them. Is this... is this possible?"

Duan Tianyang calmly explained: "The art of war emphasizes quality rather than quantity. Two hundred elite soldiers against two thousand rabble, victory is not difficult."

To put it bluntly, these three rebel groups are not regular armies, but just a large group of bandits. Duan Tianyang is confident in dealing with them.

He pointed to the map that Chen Wu had just marked and called out loudly: "Iron Armor, Mirror Edge!"

Upon hearing the voice, Qiu Tieyi and Lu Jingyuan quickly stepped forward and responded respectfully in unison: "Subordinates are here!"

Duan Tianyang gave the order: "At 10 o'clock tonight, that is, at the hour of Mao, you two will lead the brothers of the Divine Arrow Sect to attack Tianjiu's camp and chop off Tianjiu's head."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the two of them and asked, "Can you do it?"

Lu Jingyuan and Qiu Tieyi's eyes flashed with determination, and they answered in unison: "Just 500 rebels, no problem!"

Guan Hu stepped forward and asked, "Brother Tian, ​​what about me?"

"You are responsible for leading the brothers of Ruijin Hall to ambush between the two military camps of Wang Xi and Tianjiu. If you see Tianjiu sending people to ask Wang Xi for support, you don't have to pay attention. Once you find that Wang Xi sends troops out of the camp, you will intercept them halfway and kill them all!"

"No problem, leave it to me, Lao Hu!" Guan Hu clasped his fists in agreement.

Then, Guan Hu asked again: "Brother Tian, ​​what about Bai Qi?"

Duan Tianyang smiled confidently and said, "Leave Bai Qi to me."

Guan Hu was puzzled: "Brother Tian, ​​are you planning to go alone?"

"Haha!" Duan Tianyang laughed heartily and explained, "Bai Qi is different from other rebels. The reason he rebelled is all because of that old pervert Wen Ping. Therefore, it is not difficult to persuade him to surrender."

Then, Xiao Fang, Cao Ge, Xiao Hong, and Hua Duo asked together: "Brother Tian, ​​what about us?"

Duan Tianyang said seriously: "You stay in Yunzhong City. Yunzhong City is our base, and we must not lose it. Who knows if a group of rebels will suddenly appear from somewhere to attack Yunzhong City. So, when I'm not here, the safety of Yunzhong City depends entirely on you!"

Xiao Fang said firmly: "Brother Tian, ​​don't worry, we will definitely protect Yunzhong City!"

After hearing this, Duan Tianyang patted Xiao Fang on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Xiao Fang, I feel relieved to have you around!"
