Chapter 1881: Chapter 1883: Leave No One Alive
Speaking of which, You grabbed the roast chicken from the wooden plate just put down and devoured it completely, in the blink of an eye. It happened so fast that everyone couldn’t help rubbing their eyes, thinking it was an illusion.
What does it mean to sweep away all obstacles? After witnessing your eating speed, the Wang Family Clan finally had a deep appreciation, at least three people’s worth of food consumed by you in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and you almost left no scraps.
"Sir, would you like more?" Wang Yuanji stood beside you obediently, speaking in a courteous tone that made you quite uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, you reached out to pat Wang Yuanji’s head, laughing and teasing her, "You crafty little spirit, why speak so formally with me? I’ve got quite enough, but my lower-class men must be hungry, let them prepare some food."
"Yes, I’ll do it right away."
As soon as Wang Yuanji agreed, Wang Su stood up and addressed you, "Let me go, Yuanji can stay and chat with you."
"Yes, father."
Seeing Wang Yuanji restrain herself in such a way, you couldn’t be bothered saying anything else, simply reclining against a pillar behind you, eyes half-closed, pretending to be at rest.
On Wang Lang’s side, people were nervous and uneasy, only Wang Yuanji wore a faint smile.
When Wang Su returned, Xiao San and others behind you were also full, you stretched lazily and yawned, saying, "Lord Wang, may I ask once more, are you willing to follow me to Xuzhou?"
This time, your words appeared somewhat heavy, the smile on your face had vanished, replaced by a pressure that made everyone feel tense. Although facing you directly, they looked at your appearance clearly, but for some reason, they would always get the impression that they weren’t facing a person, but a fierce beast!
This time, Wang Lang dare not remain silent, knowing that if he didn’t answer, the whole family might suffer.
Yet, unlike before, though still nervous, he felt less worried, because they believed they had gained another reliance from you, that reliance was Wang Lang’s granddaughter Wang Yuanji. Wang Lang had praised Wang Yuanji from a long time ago, saying she would be the lucky star of the Wang Family Clan, bringing them unprecedented honor and prospects.
"Dare ask the lord, if Wang follows you to Xuzhou, what position will be bestowed upon me?"
Speaking of Han Dynasty offices, you are extremely knowledgeable, except in one area you don’t understand. But you wouldn’t make promises lightly, so you straightforwardly said, "I’ve heard Lord Wang is especially proficient in economics, so control of Xuzhou’s economy will be handed over to you."
Wang Lang listened and couldn’t help changing his expression, never imagining you’d offer such an important position, he hesitated no longer, knowing if he acted arrogantly now, trouble would follow later. Hence, Wang Lang stood up, making a formal bow to you, saying loudly, "Humble servant Wang Lang, pays respect to the Provincial governor!"
Seeing this, you laughed, it seemed the goal of this trip was achieved.
Thinking of this, you clapped your hands on the ground, jumped high, did a stylish 360-degree flip in mid-air, and landed gracefully.
"Alright, with matters settled, I should return. Lord Wang likely has some instructions remaining, I shall not disturb further, I will await you at Xuzhou."
"Yes, humble servant obeys!"
You turned and left, reaching the door when Wang Yuanji suddenly called, "Brother, can I visit Xuzhou to see you?"
You turned your head, winked at Wang Yuanji, and smiled, "If you remain this way, I’ll let you come, and take you out to play."
"Hmm, then it’s a promise! Pinky swear!" Wang Yuanji ran happily to you, extending her cute little hand.
"Hey, little girl, with so many clever ideas." You hooked pinkies with Wang Yuanji, then habitually patted her head, smiling, "See you at Xuzhou."
"Yeah!"
Once you and your Personal guard team disappeared into the night, Wang Family Clan members finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Lang and Wang Su, father and son, relieved and showing slight smiles, knew the day of the Wang Family’s rise was coming!
The next day, your group headed south to return to Xuzhou, passing a small county when Xiao San heard some news, "Lord, a man named Que Xuan has gathered over eight thousand people, and now has occupied Liangcheng, declaring that he’ll attack Xuzhou within three days to take your head, avenging Tao Qian."
Normally upon hearing such news, reactions are either gloomy or furious, however, you remained very calm, sipped tea slowly with a faint smile, saying, "I was just wondering, after all this time, why hasn’t a pivotal figure appeared? Unexpectedly, they’ve delivered themselves now. Very well, it seems you all have been stiff lately, time to stretch your muscles and truly act."
Upon hearing these words, Xiao San and the trusted aides beside him lit up as if awaiting beauties undressed before them.
"Eight thousand men, is the information reliable?"
Xiao San nodded, saying, "Possible exaggeration, but roughly accurate, just a bunch of stragglers, trash."
"Really? Then all eight thousand are yours to handle."
"Understood!" Without hesitation or dread, Xiao San answered with glowing eyes.
You drained the tea from your cup, saying to Xiao San, "March urgently, we’re to reach Liangcheng suburb by dusk, launch an attack at dawn tomorrow, my request is simple, don’t spare any leading figures of the enemy!"
"Understood!"
At night, your group arrived at a forest suburb near Liangcheng.
"Ten men keep watch, the rest relax here." Xiao San finished speaking, most people sat down immediately, pulling out dry rations to devour.
It’s worth noting, a large portion of your trusted aid team’s training originates from future Special Forces Commando training methods, augmented by your requirements, increasing difficulty by two to three times. Currently, the Personal guard team’s equipment is the best in Xuzhou troops.
When everyone was resting, you alone stood atop a tall tree, arms crossed, facing the wind, gazing out toward Liangcheng City.
Liangcheng is also a county, yet a strategic location, a throat of Xuzhou City’s northern side. Once occupied by enemies, it means Xuzhou’s north directly faces enemy assault. Liangcheng has only two gates, south and north, city walls approximately seven meters tall, currently filled with soldiers.
"Xiao San."
You suddenly landed on the ground, behind Xiao San on watch.
"Lord, what are your orders?"
"Take two men and investigate enemy situation."
"Understood!"
Training your trusted aides as Reconnaissance Soldiers is probably unique across the Nine Provinces.
When Xiao San returned with men, bloodstains were on him, seeing it, you couldn’t help but frown and asked, "What happened, were you discovered?"
