The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"General Zhao? Didn't I tell you to return to the main camp first? Why are you still here?"

Zhao Zishan hurriedly bowed with a worried look on his face.

"Sir, the situation in Yancheng is truly critical. The rebels in Qingfeng Village are no pushovers! They are incredibly ferocious and cunning, no ordinary bandits can compare!"

Before he could finish his words, Wang Hongguang glared at Zhao Zishan fiercely and scolded him,

"Zhao Zishan, how dare you! As the general of the Sheyang garrison against the Japanese, I'm responsible for the lives of the imperial court. Do I really need you to tell me what to do?"

Zhao Zishan clasped his fists and said,

"The general will not dare!"

"However, Yancheng is crucial to the Sheyang camp's supply chain. If it is lost, the consequences will be disastrous! I hope Your Excellency will agree to allow me to lead 3,000 troops to Yancheng for its rescue!"

Wang Hongguang was drunk when he heard this and wanted to curse again, but when he saw Zhao Zishan's armor was weathered and his face looked very tired.

He thought that this was also a capable general under his command, although he could not immediately send troops to rescue Yancheng due to some special reasons.

But as Zhao Zishan said, Yancheng is an important supply city for Sheyang Camp. After all, the lips and teeth are interdependent.

Furthermore, it would be better to let Zhao Zishan go. If he could save Yancheng, it would be his achievement. Then he could just say that he could not resist his subordinates' request to fight.

Even if it can't, it can be considered a disguised form...

Furthermore, it was Zhao Zishan who led the troops to rescue Yancheng, so it had nothing to do with him and the losses had nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongguang staggered to his feet.

He took off a token from his waist and threw it over.

Zhao Zishan subconsciously took the token and took a look at it. He found it was a bronze token engraved with the word "garrison" and his expression was immediately overjoyed.

He then looked at Wang Hongguang with a bit of confusion.

"Master, this..."

Wang Hongguang staggered two steps, and Zhao Zishan hurried forward to support him.

After Wang Hongguang stood firm, he pushed Zhao Zishan away and waved his hands drunkenly.

"Go, go! If it weren't for the fact that you're someone I trust, I'd punish you for disrespecting your superiors just for your repeated disturbances!"

Hearing Wang Hongguang's words, Zhao Zishan quickly bowed and clasped his fists, saying apologetically,

"Sir, I admit my guilt. It's really Yancheng..."

Wang Hongguang burped and waved his hand casually.

"That's enough! With this token, you can mobilize three thousand troops from the camp. Remember, not even one more person!"

As he spoke, Wang Hongguang signaled to his two personal soldiers to help him onto the carriage that had been waiting for a long time on the street.

Watching the carriage moving slowly, Zhao Zishan quickly came to his senses and bowed to the carriage with his fists clasped.

"Thank you, sir!"

Then Zhao Zishan ignored the officials and gentry at the door of Manxianglou and immediately strode towards the alley on the side.

Soon, the sound of horses neighing was heard.

Zhao Zishan rode a warhorse and galloped quickly out of the city with several personal guards.

But Zhao Zishan, who had just left Funing County with the troop mobilization order he had obtained with great difficulty, was met head-on by a man who looked disheveled and had thrown away his armor and weapons.

He hurriedly ordered the team to slow down. When the person came closer and he could see who he was, he was shocked to see that he had disheveled hair, his body and face were covered in dust and he looked disheveled.

"General Li? Why is it you?"

When General Li heard Zhao Zishan's question, he quickly looked up.

After seeing Zhao Zishan, he quickly reined in his horse and was immediately excited.

"Greetings, General Zhao! Why are you here? May I ask if Garrison Commander Wang is in the city?"

Zhao Zishan nodded slightly when he heard this, then frowned and asked,

"I have come to ask the garrison commander for permission to lead the army to Yancheng for rescue."

"By the way, General Li, what happened to you? Why are you here?"

Hearing Zhao Zishan's question, General Li waved his hand and said with a sad look,

"General Zhao, that's not necessary!"

"Huh? What does this mean?" Zhao Zishan asked in confusion.

General Li shook his head dejectedly and said with a choked voice,
