Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Dou Qingran couldn't help but frown, "What Sanlang means is..."

Yang Sanlang walked to the front of the map and pointed to the location of Yuzhou.

“We can attack from here and move upwards, launching a pincer attack on the imperial court.”

Upon hearing this, Dou Qingran's face lit up with joy.

"Yes, that's an even better idea!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else immediately broke into a broad, cheerful smile.

Dou Huai'an patted Yang Sanlang on the shoulder twice and couldn't help but praise, "Sanlang's brain is really sharp, you've thought of everything."

Yu Hao chimed in, "Brother Yang is indeed Brother Yang. His martial arts are better than ours, and he's smarter than us too. Sigh, we can't compare, we can't compare."

What he didn't say was that even his wife was exceptionally beautiful.

Hey.

He was filled with envy and jealousy.

Upon hearing this, the others burst into laughter again.

After they finished laughing and joking, Dou Qingran asked Yang Sanlang, "Sanlang, how do you think it would be appropriate to arrange the manpower?"

Yang Sanlang glanced at Zhao Yan and said calmly, "We'll naturally follow Brother Dou's arrangements for the north. As for the south, Yan'er and I can handle it."

Yu Hao immediately became unhappy and insisted on going along as well.

"Brother Yang, how can you and your wife manage on your own? You have to include me too."

Others also insisted on going together.

In short, they wanted to join in achieving great things and overthrow the utterly corrupt Qing Kingdom.

Dou Qingran looked at her noisy subordinates and couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose.

He raised his hand again and pressed it down, coughed twice, and then said to everyone, "Don't let your guard down. Don't think that just because Jinzhou, Dingzhou, and Suizhou were taken so easily, you can take the imperial army seriously. The reason why these three prefectures were taken so easily is entirely due to the skill of Sanlang and his sister-in-law. Otherwise, with your mediocre skills, a fight would have broken out."

He is certainly right.

However, his lieutenants weren't completely incompetent; they all possessed some martial arts skills, though not as formidable as Yang Sanlang, they were still capable of dealing with the incompetent officials of the imperial court.

So, he squinted at everyone and said, "Just as Sanlang said, the south will be left to him and his sister-in-law to handle. As for the north, Brother Huai'an, you don't need to go. The north still needs you to stay and oversee things."

Dou Huai'an thought for a moment and could only nod in agreement, "Okay, I'll stay."

Although there was regret, Dou Qingran was right. Among everyone present, he and Yang Sanlang were the most loyal to the Dou family army.

Dou Qingran also felt most at ease entrusting the rear area to them.

Dou Huai'an chose to stay precisely because he understood this.

Dou Qingran was extremely grateful, but he didn't say anything more and then arranged for the remaining personnel.

"Yu Hao, you and Deputy General Wang guard the first checkpoint."

"Deputy General Xu, you take your men and guard the second checkpoint."

"Remember, you must keep a close watch on him."

Yu Hao and the others immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, Your subordinates obey!"

Then, Dou Qingran made other arrangements.

Once everything was arranged, everyone went back to make preparations for their departure the next day.

Yang Sanlang and Zhao Yan naturally had to go back and explain to their families.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Dou Qingran hurriedly called out to stop them.

"Sanlang, sister-in-law, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan and Yang Sanlang both stopped and turned around.

Dou Qingran walked quickly to Yang Sanlang and patted him hard on the shoulder twice.

"Sanlang, it's going to be hard for you and your sister-in-law to make this trip again. However, you can't go alone this time. I've decided to arrange some people to accompany you."

Before Yang Sanlang could say anything, Zhao Yan shook her head and said, "That's not necessary, the two of us are enough."

It's just a few small fry; we really don't need that many people.

Dou Qingran, however, said in an unyielding tone, "No, this time you have to listen to me."

"There aren't many people, only about a hundred. If you think they're noisy, just leave them far behind."

Fearing that Zhao Yan would refuse again, he quickly added, "Sister-in-law, let me explain first. It's easy for the two of you to deal with those corrupt officials in Yuzhou, but what about after you've dealt with the people? You can't just abandon them, can you? Let them stay with you. Once you've dealt with them, let them stay behind to clean up the mess. You can come back when you're ready."

Zhao Yan thought for a moment, then nodded to Dou Qingran.

"Alright then, let them come along."

Seeing that she had agreed, Dou Qingran breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law listened to my advice.

As for Yang Sanlang, since Zhao Yan had already agreed, he naturally wouldn't object anymore.

The two bid farewell to Dou Qingran and returned to the General's Mansion with about two hundred people behind them.

Zhao Yan was speechless.

The agreed-upon number was around one hundred people, but Dou Qingran felt that one hundred people was still too few, so she added some more people at the last minute, making it about two hundred people.

Zhao Yan was unhappy, but Yang Sanlang persuaded her until she finally agreed.

When they returned to the general's mansion, Yuan Yutang and the others had already heard the commotion and all ran out.

When Zhao Xiaomi saw that her mother and father had brought so many people back, she excitedly asked, "Father, Mother, what are you doing here?"

Isn't that impressive?

She even wished she had a group of subordinates following her.

How cool is that?

But when Zhao Xiaomi heard Zhao Yan say that they were going on another long trip, her excitement instantly turned sour.

She rushed forward and hugged Zhao Yan, sobbing, "Mother, didn't you just come back a few days ago? Why do you have to go out again? I don't want to leave you..."

Wuwuwu——

With her mother at home, she could have an excuse to be lazy and no longer had to work hard to study and practice calligraphy.

When her mother wasn't home, she had to study and practice writing with Yuan Tianbao and the others every day, and in the afternoon she would also practice with her brother Yunchen.

Ah, she just doesn't want to use the gestures anymore.

But Aunt Tian said that this was her mother's rule, and all of them had to stick to it.

Zhao Yan patted her daughter's head and coaxed, "Xiaomi, be good. You're a big sister now, so you have to be a good role model for Xiaofu Niu and Xiaofu Bao."

"If Mother and Father go out one more time, and they come back this time, we'll never have to be separated again."

"really?"

Zhao Xiaomi is a year older now, and she won't be as easily fooled as before.

She blinked her big eyes and asked suspiciously, "Mom, you're not trying to fool me again, are you?"

Zhao Yan chuckled inwardly, but said with a straight face, "How could that be? I promise, whoever is lying is a dog."

If things go as expected, they will definitely conquer all the remaining places this time they go out.

Once the new emperor in the capital is dealt with, the Great Qing Kingdom will be completely finished. Now it's up to Dou Qingran to decide what to do.

As for her, well, she just wants to find a mountaintop to live a peaceful life.
