The Era of Generals

Chapter 861   There is no retreat

"What do you want me to do?"

He Wei still looked weak, it could be seen that the death of those twelve brothers had hit him hard.

Gu Qingfeng sighed, not blaming He Wei for his attitude.

In fact, it was not easy for the other party to stick to the city lord's mansion without throwing up his sleeves. Can you demand more from him?

"That's right."

Gu Qingfeng paused for a moment, and said solemnly: "I have received news that Mr. Chen has led an army to the vicinity, and is sending people to clean up those scouts at the moment."

He Wei nodded.

He knew about it.

Gu Qingfeng once said that Chen Ze's troops would arrive later, and when Chen Ze came to Tianhong City, it was the beginning of their cooperation against Huang Ren.

It's just that right now he even saw Chen Ze's people, and he killed thirteen brothers including Feng Lei, which made him more or less resentful towards Chen Ze.

Although he knew that Chen Ze should not be blamed, but he always held this breath in his heart.

So he said coldly: "Why, Chen Ze is coming soon, so I have to send someone to line up to welcome him?"

Gu Qingfeng looked at him fixedly, shook his head and said, "Brother He, at this point, let's have a good talk."

How could he not hear that He Wei was talking angry, but now is really not the time to act on He Wei's temper.

"Say it."

He Wei waved his hand, but he just rebelled for a moment, and then said: "What does Chen Ze want me to do?"

"help."

Gu Qingfeng said directly: "The scouts outside the city are too scattered, we have to find a way to gather them together, only in that way can we catch them all conveniently!"

"How to gather?"

He Wei said inexplicably: "Those people are not under my control, and they will not obey my orders."

Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "It's not difficult at all. Now Meng Yang and the others are cleaning up the sporadic scouts on the outermost perimeter, and Brother He, you also know that the guy Huang Ren arranges more scouts as they get closer to Tianhong City."

"After they clean up the perimeter, we will also cooperate with us to attract all the scouts to the city, so that we can wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

He Wei thought for a while and said, "That's right, but you still didn't say it, how do we gather them together?"

"Out of town."

Gu Qingfeng said directly: "As long as they feel that we have the intention to lead the army to leave, do they dare to just hide in the dark and observe silently?"

"You know, Xiao Feng went out before and told the scouts the news about us in Tianhong City, oh, and by the way... Xiao Feng..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Qingfeng still sighed: "Xiao Feng was found and killed by our people on the way to follow scout Bai Lie to find Huang Ren."

This time, He Wei was silent.

Although he had expected it long ago, when he heard the death of a brother again with his own ears, he still couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Qingfeng didn't let him feel sad for too long, and continued: "Well, Huang Ren doesn't know our arrangement now, but the scouts in the city will guess some of it."

"So at this time, if we pretend to be leaving Tianhong City, what will the scouts outside think?"

"They will definitely think that we have reached an agreement, and going out of the city at this moment just wants to take advantage of Huang Ren's opportunity before he comes back, and quickly get out of his control!"

He Wei stared blankly at Gu Qingfeng talking eloquently, and he seemed to see a shadow of Yan Xukai in the other party.

But Yan Xukai was their military adviser, but what about Gu Qingfeng?

Gu Qingfeng... when did he become so eloquent?

"you mean……"

He frowned slightly. Yan Xukai was not here at the moment, so he had to make up his own mind.

He Wei is just straightforward but not stupid. He can understand Gu Qingfeng's words as soon as he hears them.

Although the people outside the city are all scouts, and they are actually only comparable in number, it is absolutely difficult to keep themselves and others based on their words alone.

With the strength of Xuanjia's elite, it is not difficult for one to beat seven or eight of them.

But if you know you can't beat it, don't you?

If they dared not to stop them, they would just let the Xuanjia elites go away, and what awaited them would be Huang Ren's furious rampage!

So if you know you are invincible, you have to stop it.

Even He Wei could imagine their next move.

On the one hand, the scouts had to send people out to find Huang Ren as soon as possible for support, and on the other hand, they would gather all their people together to prevent their own side from leaving Tianhong City.

In that situation, you can only block as long as you can, and procrastinate as long as you can, even if you know you will die.

It's okay to die, but if they dare not try their best, their families will probably be implicated as well!

This is when you have to fight.

Of course, the life and death of these scouts is not within the scope of He Wei's consideration. As for whether they can be taken down, it is not necessary to think about it, it is absolutely certain.

Before, they allowed the other party to deploy guards outside Tianhong City, but there was no need to have a big conflict with Huang Ren at this time, so if the other party wanted to monitor, let them monitor it.

What He Wei was thinking at the moment was whether Chen Ze's idea would have any bad consequences for them.

It seems... also okay?

He thought about it, and the current situation was actually very clear.

After agreeing to cooperate with Chen Ze, the Xuanjia elite was destined to stand on the side of the Qingyang Empire, so the enmity with Huang Ren was certain.

Even if he doesn't do what Gu Qingfeng said now, after Huang Ren comes back, will he let him go?

Furthermore, if he refused at this time, wouldn't those thirteen brothers have died in vain?

There is no room for swinging from side to side.

Recalling what Yan Xukai said before going back to rest, He Wei could only sigh.

Yan Xukai was also exhausted these days, and when He Wei finally made a decision, Yan Xukai also knew that there was very little help he could provide.

Because they have actually been controlled by Chen Ze, it is useless for him to rack his brains now.

So it's better to rest and recuperate first, and then come to fight Chen Ze in the decisive battle later.

It seems... there is no problem?

He Wei went through Gu Qingfeng's words over and over again in his mind, and finally confirmed that there was no problem for them.

It's just a matter of being exposed sooner or later, and it's still with the scouts who have received the news.

Maybe if we get rid of all the scouts who know about it, we can leave them a way out?

Thinking of this, He Wei naturally wouldn't tell the truth, but nodded and said: "Okay."

"I don't like these guys for a long time, so let's settle the old and new scores together!"
