"

Chen Sanshi poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Going there at this time will definitely result in a collision."

"what?"

"General Manager Chen, are you playing us?!"

Xie Sishu stared wide-eyed and said, "Our brothers risked their lives to fight their way from Eagle Beak Mountain to Jinquan Prefecture, and now you're telling us we're not going to Wutong Prefecture?"

Chen Sanshi retorted, "I only said I was coming to Jinquan Prefecture, when did I say I was going to see General Zhao?"

Everyone was speechless.

"Cough cough cough..."

The heavily injured Yu Song wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Quiet down! Commander Chen, tell me, where do we go next? If we can't go to Wutong Prefecture, how about we stay here and defend the city? There are still provisions in Jinquan Prefecture. If we can mobilize the people to defend the city together, we might be able to hold out for a while. We can also ask General Zhao to find a way to come and join us, isn't that the same thing?"

"Correct!"

Yan Changqing continued, "Mobilize the people! These days, every time we enter the city, we do not harm the people in the slightest, and our reputation is excellent! Especially Brother Chen's reputation. Yesterday, when we entered Jinquan Prefecture, many people came out to see which one was Chen Sanshi who crossed the river. If Brother Chen speaks on our behalf, he will surely be able to mobilize many people."

Chen Sanshi said, "We don't have any high-level martial artists. Even General Yu is injured. If a Xuanxiang Realm expert comes, how will we deal with it?"

"This won't work, and that won't work either."

Xie Sishu asked, "What exactly does Commander Chen mean? We can't just stay here and wait to die, can we?"

"Of course not, so..."

Chen Sanshi slammed his palm on the east side of the map: "Cross the Hongze River again!"

Crossing the Hongze River three times!

"Are you putting on a monkey show?!"

"We've already crossed the river twice, and if we cross it again, it'll be the third time. Are you addicted?"

"You're crazy, you're really crazy. With fifty or sixty thousand pursuers behind you, you still want to turn back and cross the river? Do you think you can get through?"

"Besides, the journey back will take another half a month. I'm too tired to walk anymore. You can go instead!"

Xie Sishu sat down by himself as he spoke.

Lu Shuhua, holding his sword, said, "General Yu, I still suggest you go find General Zhao, or stay and defend the city. You are our general, there is no need for you to listen to everything he says."

"Ugh……"

Yu Song took off his helmet and grabbed his hair, clearly conflicted: "Commander Chen, are you sure? If we go back, won't we run into a large army?"

He didn't quite understand the route.

However, the previous two crossings of the river have already proven one thing.

Chen Sanshi wasn't just making things up!

He has his own logic and ideas.

If people can't understand it, it just means they're not good enough.

He is an old man, and he has no other special characteristics except that he is willing to listen to advice and knows that when he is no longer capable, he should give up his position appropriately.

"There's a chance, but it's not high."

Chen Sanshi pointed out a route on the map: "After leaving the city, we will head towards the central region, then pass through Longyang County, and cross the Hongze River again along Yingzui Mountain. Now, all the pursuing troops behind us have been drawn to Jinquan Prefecture, and the central region is extremely vulnerable. The only thing we need to be careful of is the enemy troops in Yangchun Prefecture. We should try not to attract their attention!"

"Yangchun Prefecture?"

Hearing this, Lu Shuhua finally began to understand the meaning behind it. He had a flash of inspiration: "I have a plan. If we can really get through Longyang County, wouldn't we be able to launch a pincer attack on the young master and his group in Yangchun Prefecture?"

"no!"

Chen Sanshi retorted, "We don't have enough troops, and by the time we get to Longyang County, Yangchun Prefecture will have received the news and will be on guard. If we go there, not only will we not be able to help Yangchun Prefecture get out of the siege, but it will be tantamount to sending ourselves to our deaths."

"Therefore, our primary goal remains to cross the river!"

"You need to understand one thing: at this time, almost all the major armies are behind us, which is when Luo Tian Pass is vulnerable. We have a chance to escape by surprise."

"it is good!"

Yu Song steeled his heart: "I'll listen to you, damn it, I'm really putting my life in your hands this time. My eight wives and twelve children are still waiting for me at home. I promised to personally teach my sons martial arts when I got back!"

"Commander Yu?"

Lu Shuhua and Xie Sishu were puzzled.

They couldn't understand why, as the battle progressed, a centurion became the open commander, while a lieutenant general was willing to obey orders obediently, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was completely subservient.

"But let me make this clear from the start."

Yu Song forced a smile onto his pale face: "If I encounter a Tongmai again, I won't be able to fight him anymore. You'll have to handle it yourself, Chief Chen."

"I hope I don't run into it."

Chen Sanshi mentally calculated the time required for the journey: "If we set off immediately, we can cross the river successfully before the rebels outside Yangchun Prefecture can react."

"it is good!"

Yu Song suddenly stood up, nearly falling due to his injuries. He used his weapon as a crutch and said, "Pass on my orders: leave Jinquan before dawn and continue on our way!"

"Yes!"

Lu Shuhua, Xie Sishu, and even Yan Changqing and others naturally dared not disobey orders.

"Commander Yu, are you alright?"

Chen Sanshi rummaged in his pocket and found a porcelain bottle containing the healing medicine that his senior brother had given him before they set off.

"This medicine is very precious."

Yu Song didn't stand on ceremony, took it and poured it into his mouth. After feeling a little better, he looked north towards Yangchun Prefecture and suddenly said, "General Sha and the others insisted that I go east with you. They wanted to kill us, didn't they? Didn't President Chen already know that?"

Chen Sanshi remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Ah."

Yu Song sneered, abandoning his usual composed demeanor, and began to curse: "What a damn petty person! He lost the contest and was unwilling to accept it, so why not wait until we got back and have a fair fight in the arena? Instead, he used this shameless method to harm his comrades on the battlefield! To make it seem like he wasn't targeting anyone, he even dragged me and my three thousand brothers into it!"

"Among them are several Martial Saints, the hope for the future of the Eight Great Camps and even the Northern Territory!"

"This Cao Fan is still the heir apparent, and according to the order of succession, he will be the future emperor. Does such a person deserve the throne of the Great Sheng Dynasty?"

"I came from the Xuanwu Camp, and I despise people like this the most!"

"Xuanwu Camp?"

Chen Sanshi asked curiously, "In which year did Commander Yu join the Xuanwu Camp?"

"The fifty-eighth year of the Longqing reign."

Yu Song recalled, "The person I admire most is General Tang. He always leads from the front and never retreats even when he dies on the city wall. How could he be like these people who harm his comrades? If the Eight Great Camps are handed over to them in the future, they will definitely be finished in less than ten years."

Fifty-eight years...

Chen Sanshi muttered to himself.
