Chapter 697: The army marches south, Wuzhou Qinniu

"General Wu Qi, this journey carries a heavy responsibility, so please proceed with caution."

"Although there are many remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Wuzhou, there are also heroes hidden among them. You need to be flexible and win with wisdom."

Before Wu Qi left, Xue Rengui gave him earnest advice.

Honestly speaking, even though his lord had so confidently pushed Wu Qi forward, Xue Rengui still felt somewhat unsure.

But he would not be fussy or bossy about Wu Qi's affairs.

After all, this is how he and Tie Shiwen went through the battle in Qizhou.

He was given the order in times of crisis and led an army deep into the enemy's rear.

Therefore, if Wu Qi made a mistake, he would just quietly clean up the mess and help Wu Qi.

But he would never start with a long speech and pour cold water on Wu Qi.

"Don't worry, General Xue. Although Wu Qi is new here, he still has some ideas in his mind."

"This time, we will march south and live up to the expectations of the Lord and General Xue. We will definitely bring Wuzhou under the Lord's command!"

Therefore, Wu Qi did not feel any emotion after hearing this. Instead, he smiled slightly and responded confidently.

Although he believed that his ability in commanding troops was not inferior to that of General Xue, who had followed his lord earlier than him!
Moreover, since Xue Rengui joined Su Ye's army, he has fought in many battles over the years and made many military achievements.

Wu Qi still had some basic respect for Xue Rengui.

Soon, under the leadership of Wu Qi, the vanguard army set off quickly. In addition to Wu Qi, the second sage, there were Zhao Gongming, Jia Fu, the two brothers Shebishi and Xia Gengshi, the two brothers Xue Gang and Xue Kui, as well as Bai Wenbao, Fan Lihua and other fierce generals, each taking up their posts and following closely behind.

It can be said that this luxurious configuration of the vanguard army is more than enough to separate a single route to directly serve as the general attack on the Daqian Dynasty. The configuration is absolutely maxed out!

Among Xue Rengui's central army, there was only one relatively stable Zhuge Kunlong who was willing to sit with him in the central army and assist Xue Rengui in handling various military affairs. He stayed voluntarily.

Although he was not good at speaking, he was extremely reliable in his actions. Whether he was executing combat plans or deploying troops, he was able to do everything in an orderly manner to ensure the stability and security of the central military camp.

Although their autonomy is not very high, they are very capable in executing Xue Rengui's orders, which makes Xue Rengui very satisfied.

"General Xue, the vanguard army has set out successfully. Should we also speed up our march?"

Zhuge Kunlong asked softly, his eyes also revealing his anticipation for the battle on the front line.

As a newly joined general, how could he not be eager to charge into battle and achieve success?

However, Jia Fu and others around him were eager to join the vanguard army, and he did not want to compete with everyone else, so he had to take the position of the general of the central army.

"Indeed, we can't let the vanguard army fight alone, nor can we be too far away from them."

"Pass the order, all troops should speed up and advance. Be sure to keep in touch with the vanguard army and be ready to provide support at any time."

Xue Rengui nodded and looked into the distance, as if he had already seen the battlefield in Wuzhou where flames of war were raging.

Then he directly ordered the central army to keep up with the speed of the vanguard army, so that if there was an accident, he could finish off the vanguard army in time. As Xue Rengui's order was issued, the central army also began to speed up, with the sound of horse hooves, wheels, and soldiers' footsteps intertwined, and quickly advanced towards Wuzhou.

In the rear army, the two brothers Ma Shanwei and Ma Yuan were leading the remaining 10,000 troops, responsible for escorting the logistics and baggage troops.

Because among all those who stood out in these martial arts conferences, Ma Yuan was relatively the most talented and stable one, so he was directly appointed by Xue Rengui as the person in charge of the rear army, leading the remaining 10,000 troops to escort the logistics and baggage troops.

Although Ma Yuan is young, based on Xue Rengui's observations during this period, he is undoubtedly a talented commander.

He has a calm and composed personality and is good at observation, making him a strong force in the rear.

Since Ma Yuan stayed in the rear army, Ma Shanwei, Ma Yuan's younger brother, naturally had to stay in the rear army as well to serve as Ma Yuan's right-hand man.

Moreover, Ma Shanwei is also highly skilled in martial arts and brave and fearless, enough to serve as another solid barrier in the rear army.

Just as Wu Qi's army was marching towards Wuzhou in a mighty manner, the Wuzhou Yellow Turban Army, which controlled the Wuzhou area,

Now, Qin Niu, the only general among the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou, is wandering alone on the city wall of Wuzhou with a frown on his face. His eyes pass through the layers of roofs and look towards the distant sky dyed golden by the morning light, with mixed feelings in his heart.

As the three demons from Lion Camel Ridge fled with tens of thousands of troops not long ago, the actual controllers of the rest of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou, such as King Menghu and Zhang Liang, are in the Great Xuan Dynasty in the south and have no influence on the current situation in Wuzhou.

Although Qin Niu is a member of the same clan as Qin Shi, one of the three monsters that escaped from Lion Camel Ridge.

However, Qin Niu, who considers himself a disciple of the Taoist Tai Shang Dao, thinks that he is not the same kind of violent people as Qin Shi, Bai Xiang, and Kong Jin. From the bottom of his heart, he looks down on the brutal style of Qin Shi and the other three monsters of the Lion Camel Ridge.

Therefore, when the three demons from Lion Camel Ridge returned to Wuzhou and invited him to leave with them, he did not follow them, but stayed in the Yellow Turban Army.

Anyway, he had just entered the secular world from Taoism and had not yet chosen his own wise leader, so he might as well stay in the Yellow Turban Army for a while.

Anyway, strictly speaking, the Yellow Turban Army can be somewhat related to Taoism!
"Alas, this world is so unpredictable."

Qin Niu sighed softly, playing with a jade pendant in his hand. It was the amulet given to him by his master when he entered the world, and it seemed to give him a little comfort.

Although he was in the Yellow Turban Army, he had just entered the world with a Taoist mentality, and his deep pursuit of peace and morality was incompatible with this chaotic world.

Just as Qin Niu was immersed in his thoughts, he just shook his head, took out a few oranges from his arms, and was about to take a rest, when the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted his meditation.

"General Qin, there is urgent news from Luzhou!"

A messenger rushed in, holding a secret letter in his hand and looking nervous.

Qin Niu took the secret letter, opened it and saw that the letter was written by Meng Zhang, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou, with sincere words.

The letter mentioned that in view of Wuzhou's current predicament, Meng Zhang decided to send Niu Mo, the current top general of Luzhou, to lead his troops to provide support and jointly resist the upcoming Hengzhou army.

After Qin Niu finished reading, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had great respect for Meng Zhang, the former commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army at that time had to deploy millions of troops, which was not something that ordinary people could handle.

Even the Taoist master Tai Shang once said that there are only a handful of famous generals in the world who can command millions of troops with ease, and each of them is a pillar of the country who can dominate the war of a country.
