Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Yunfei knew from the blueprints on the table that this must be a plan that Chu Yueli had worked on overnight. No wonder the lights were still on in Chu Yueli's tent in the early hours of the morning.

When this woman gets really busy, she's the kind of crazy person who'd risk her life for her.

According to Chu Yueli's plan, Huo Qing and Chu Lingshan led the new recruits to Dingzhou first.

The biggest advantage of separating the new recruits from the Chu family army was that the rebels inside would no longer have a chance to assassinate Chu Yueli.

“Since they are only doing things for money, they only have one goal: to assassinate me. When I am not in the group, they will definitely find a way to leave.”

Since there's no point in staying, it's better for them to leave and then search for Chu Yueli and wait for an opportunity to act than to stay in the army and follow the main force to Nanmeng.

After all, following the army to Southern Mongolia, who knows when they will reunite with Chu Yueli's team? What if it's a long time coming?

"Spread the word that you will be operating alone in Southern Mongolia, as the vanguard. This will surely make those who are truly willing to join the army and serve the country even more courageous and boost their morale. Meanwhile, those rebels will be worried that they will not have the chance to kill me and collect their reward."

"So, when the time comes, we won't need to catch the rebels; they'll leave the group on their own and find an opportunity to kill you?" Huo Qing thought for a moment and immediately understood.

"In this way, we can eliminate the rebels in the ranks without having to mobilize a large force, which is indeed the best outcome!"

Lu Yunfei was somewhat frustrated: "In this way, we have no way to capture those bandits and avenge Fourth Princess!"

Those people wanted to kill Chu Yueli, and the thought made him angry; he wished he could eliminate all the rebels.

Chu Yueli laughed and said, "There are countless people in this world who want to kill me. Can you possibly capture or eliminate them all?"

Chu Yueli didn't care about this at all.

She only cared whether the army could reach Southern Mongolia within the planned timeframe.

Chu Lingshan studied the blueprints on the table carefully for a while, and finally nodded: "I understand, Madam. We should set off immediately."

Huo Qing nodded and said, "Alright, then let's not delay. Ali, see you in Dingzhou."

Although they went ahead, their destination was also Dingzhou. Once they arrived in Dingzhou, they would follow Chu Yueli's arrangements.

As for Chu Yueli, their destination was also Dingzhou, but before arriving in Dingzhou, they had to go to Weicheng first.

Weicheng was a small trading hub for people from all over the country. Before setting off, she had already sent Chu Yi and his men to Weicheng to meet up with Ming Sihai's people.

Grandpa had promised to lend her grain and money. At this time, Chu Yi should have already arrived in Weicheng, but there was still no news of him returning. It was unknown how far he was from purchasing the grain.

The routes from Wuyang to Dingzhou and Weicheng are roughly the same. Chu Yueli arranged a shortcut for her team, which was more treacherous but would give them more time.

In this way, they would first go to Weicheng to meet up with Chu Yi's team, and then go to Dingzhou, which would be about the same time as Huo Qing's team of new recruits.

"Sister Miao, General Nangong, Ninth Prince, farewell!"

Huo Qing and Chu Lingshan left.

Miao Yucui looked at the last route on the drawing. This route was very long and had no stops in the middle.

She looked at Chu Yueli: "So, how many people do I need to lead directly to Sukru?"
