Hearing this, Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen were overjoyed. Zhan Hong said, "If that's the case, we can first locate where those two Grandmaster Military Generals from the North Country are, and then disguise ourselves as a rchant convoy to get close to them."
"As long as we can get close to those two Grandmaster Military Generals, killing them will be easy."
"Without those two Grandmaster Military Generals, the North Country's army stationed in Youping County will be like headless flies. We might even have the opportunity to counter-attack."
Just thinking about this, Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen felt extrely excited.
Afterward, Zhan Hong said to Deputy General Wang, "Send soone imdiately to disguise themselves as a rchant convoy and investigate in each city. Once you find out where those two North Country Grandmaster Military Generals are, co back and report as soon as possible."
As soon as Zhan Hong's words ended, so of Great Wu's soldiers started to prepare. They took off their armor and disguised themselves as rchants, heading to various cities in Youping County to gather information. The twenty thousand-strong army of Great Wu then moved to a forest in Youping County to await the opportunity.
Zhan Hong and his comrades' subtle movents were quickly detected by Mu Changtian and his group.
When the North Country's army entered Youping County, the Brocade Guard had already spread throughout the whole county.
It might seem that Mu Changtian and his group did not declare martial law in Youping County, but that was because they planned to use the opportunity to weed out those in the county who didn't submit to the North Country's rule, paying only lip service to loyalty while secretly being disloyal.
A few days later.
Lingyun City, the Prefectural Governnt.
Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie were discussing the interception of Great Wu's remnants when a Brocade Guard wearing black and red clothes entered the hall.
Both Mu Changtian and Wenren Lie were part of the military system, and the Brocade Guard reported directly to Lu Chen, which ant neither of them had the authority to use the Brocade Guard for their tasks.
However, Lu Chen had already issued orders for the Brocade Guard to cooperate with the North Country's garrison in Youping County to figure out the movents of Great Wu's remnants.
As the Brocade Guard entered the hall, he imdiately bowed to Wenren Lie and Mu Changtian, saying, "Commander Liu Huaiming of the Brocade Guard, at your service, Generals."
Seeing that it was a Commander of the Brocade Guard, Mu Changtian swiftly asked, "Commander Liu, have you located movents of Great Wu's remnants?"
Liu Huaiming replied, "Yes, there have been so people disguised as rchant convoys in Youping County recently."
Who are the Brocade Guard? They are specialists in espionage, their greatest skill being the ability to read people.
The Great Wu's soldiers, disguised as rchants, were imdiately distinguishable by the Brocade Guard as not genuine rchants.
Liu Huaiming continued, "These fake rchants seem to be inquiring about the whereabouts of you two Generals. It's my guess that they are intending to find out where you are now to carry out an assassination."
Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian's brow furrowed.
But he quickly rembered that there was a Celestial in the Prefectural Governnt; they had nothing to fear from those two Grandmaster Military Generals.
Just as Mu Changtian was about to speak, Wenren Lie addressed Liu Huaiming, "Commander Liu, please have the Brocade Guard spread word that General Mu and I are in Lingyun City."
"Since they are looking for our location, let's inform them proactively. If we can draw Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen here, that would be best."
Hearing this, Liu Huaiming turned his head towards Mu Changtian.
Mu Changtian stated, "My thoughts align with General Wenren's."
Liu Huaiming then bowed and said, "Then please be prepared, Generals. I will spread the news of your whereabouts in Lingyun City imdiately."
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."
As his words fell, Liu Huaiming turned and left the Prefectural Governnt.
