Chapter 244 - 147: One General Achieves Success

```

Four Crossings of Hongze, straight to Meishan Prefecture!

The rest, under Xu Wencai’s detailed explanation, also gradually came to realize.

Their pupils trembled visibly to the naked eye.

What does this mean?

They’re not planning to run anymore.

And directly...

Win the battle?!

Originally.

If these three thousand men were to burn the forage, no matter what, as long as they did not defect, they would be at the forefront of the merit books at the end of this battle, and if they were to destroy the main camp of the Red Eyebrow Army and seize the legendary Miracle Soldiers Heavenly Book.

Then wouldn’t that be...

Heavenly Merit!

Genuine Heavenly Merit!

Three thousand men, influencing the direction of a huge battle involving three hundred thousand on both sides!

Every one of them, Heavenly Merit!

This isn’t a pipe dream!

Upon understanding, the others also felt that this plan was feasible.

"Then what are we waiting for?!"

Lu Shuhua stood up, "General Chen, when do we set out?"

"We’ll set out tomorrow at 5 a.m."

Chen Sansi pointed at the map and allocated, "This time, Vice Admiral Yu and I will lead one thousand men to cover the rear. Then, Xu Wencai, you take Brother Lu and the others to cross the Hongze River from the west, hide at the crossing of Hongze and Wushui, and once there is a signal of burning the mountains from our direction, immediately cross the Wushui River and head straight for Meishan Prefecture City. You must seize Liang Jinian as fast as possible and take the Heavenly Book. Brother Lu, Brother Xie, and Mr. Yan, if you trust me, follow Xu Wencai’s command!"

"Alright!"

Lu Shuhua nodded forcefully, "General Chen, rest assured. We’ll listen to you and entrust the command to Mr. Xu, but..."

"There’s something I don’t understand."

Xie Sishu took over the conversation and uttered the second half, "Why do you and Vice Admiral Yu need to personally remain behind for this feint attack? You two are currently the highest in our Martial Arts Realm. Isn’t it a bit..."

"It’s alright."

Chen Sansi said solemnly, "The Red Eyebrow Army is originally composed of bandits. No matter how many people they have gathered in recent years, the number of High Realm Martial Artists has always been just a few. By the time they cross the river, the highest rank among the generals left in Meishan Prefecture will not exceed the Hua Jin stage. It’s been almost half a year, Brother Lu, yesterday I saw you practicing martial arts, you’re about to reach Hua Jin too, right?"

"Exactly."

Lu Shuhua didn’t deny it, "Just a hair away, I should be able to break through tonight!"

"Then there’s no problem."

Chen Sansi continued, "If we encounter any Hua Jin generals, I’ll leave them to you."

"General! Why don’t you let me cover the rear!"

Bai Thingzhi asked with confusion, "You and Vice Admiral Yu, one is in charge of command while the other is the Main General, what are you two doing staying behind?"

"I have my arrangements."

Chen Sansi stated, "Get everything arranged quickly, there’s no time for explanations anymore."

After he finished speaking, he left carrying his long spear and soon disappeared without a trace.

"This..."

Lu Shuhua and the others looked at each other in dismay.

"Why does this feel so strange?"

"Yeah."

"The two of them staying behind for the feint, why?"

"It’s not necessary!"

"..."

Yu Song didn’t speak, almost lying on the map, his movements somewhat clumsy as he carefully studied it.

"Mr. Xu, do you know the reason for this arrangement?"

"..."

"Because this is not a feint at all!"

Xu Wencai suddenly realized something and was overwhelmed with tears, muttering to himself, "Such benevolence! Having such an enlightened ruler, I, Xu Wencai, have no regrets in this life! But we absolutely cannot do this, we cannot take such a big risk!"

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Shuhua and the others were even more confused.

"I can’t stop Mr. Wang; I must find someone who can!"

Xu Wencai looked around hastily and then rushed toward the area where the main force was resting.

"God damn it!"

Wang Zhi slapped Feng Yong on the head, "Last time it was clearly me who killed more, hand over the ten taels of silver quickly, don’t think of stiffing me."

"Bullshit!"

Feng Yong retorted, not convinced, "The ones I killed were all Bone Training level, one of them is worth ten of yours!"

"..."

After the battle with Jia Youtian, the soldiers took advantage of the rest to settle their gambling debts with each other, making some bitter fun for themselves. After all, they just needed to follow orders.

During this half-year, no matter how flustered the rest of the soldiers were, they were relatively calm.

"Mr. Wang!"

Xu Wencai interrupted them, "May I speak with you in private?"

"Is it something you can’t say here?"

Wang Zhi looked at him and after a moment’s hesitation, still agreed, "Okay!"

The two of them went to a secluded corner.

Wang Zhi clenched a grass root in his mouth and began, "Go ahead Mr. Xu, what’s going on?"

"Mr. Wang!"

Xu Wencai asked, "You must be the former Main General of Xuanwu Camp, Tang Ruoshan, correct?"

Wang Zhi was startled.

"Oh."

Xu Wencai explained, "I overheard Mr. Wang calling you ’Elder Brother’ inadvertently last time, hence my conjecture. This matter is of great importance, so I implore Mr. Wang not to withhold any information."

Wang Zhi replied seriously, "Speak."

"Here’s the thing..."

Xu Wencai recounted the whole situation in detail.

"Does this lad want to repeat my missteps?"

After hearing everything, Wang Zhi’s brow furrowed into a "Sichuan" character, murmuring, "I understand. I’ll stake my life to stop him!"

...

Elsewhere.

After spending a long time on the map, Yu Song finally understood. Cursing under his breath, he scooped up the map and set off in the direction Chen Sansi had left. Eventually, he found Chen Sansi sitting on a large rock by a stream, lost in thought.

"General Chen, how did you end up hiding here?"

Yu Song sat down beside him and stealthily reached into his chest to pull out a water bag, sniffing it after opening: "Guess what this is?"
