He had just ordered all the cavalry soldiers to go and rest.
Upon learning that the Liangshan cavalry had arrived, Fei Bao, the Red-Bearded Dragon, and Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind, rushed over together...
Chapter 1141 Clearing the River Channel
"Brother, we've arrived."
As soon as Black Whirlwind entered Zhao Yuan's central command tent,
He immediately shouted,
"Let's go teach those bastards from Huaixi a lesson right now!"
"When did I say we were going to attack the Huaixi military camp right now?"
Zhao Yuan retorted irritably,
"Those who came with me this time are all cavalry,"
"Your side is also full of naval soldiers,"
"Neither of us has many infantrymen,"
"How could we possibly launch a direct assault on the camp?"
"So what are we doing here now?"
Li Kui plopped down and found a place to sit.
"I got lice from staying on that ship for so long,"
"Brother, you have to let us move our hands and feet a bit!"
"Don't worry, you'll have your work to do soon!"
Zhao Yuan chuckled.
He then gave instructions to the Red-Bearded Dragon.
"Brother Fei Bao, what about the Huaixi army?"
"The cavalry here are holding them off."
"Your naval soldiers over there,"
"Take advantage of these next two days to clear out the fishing boats that the Huaixi Army sank in the river."
"Brother Ruan's cargo ship has been stuck for about ten days,"
"The sooner we clear the riverbed, the sooner they can rest and recover."
"Rest assured, Chieftain,"
Red-bearded Dragon assured him,
“I had already checked the blockage in that river channel before,”
"Not too bad, give me a day."
"That should be enough to clean it up."
"That's good!"
Zhao Yuan nodded.
"Once the riverbed is cleared,"
"You can then replace Brother Ruan and the others."
"correct,"
Zhao Yuan looked at Black Whirlwind, who had just been complaining about having nothing to do.
"Tie Niu, you should also go and lend a hand to Brother Fei Bao and the others."
"I want to go too?"
Li Kui was somewhat reluctant.
"This isn't a battlefield, I..."
"Don't worry, once you've cleared the riverbed,"
Zhao Yuan assured him,
"Our battle with the Huaixi army won't be long,"
"When the time comes, I'll definitely let you be the first one up!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Li Kui
That's when he perked up.
He quickly followed the Red-Bearded Dragon out of the tent.
"Alright, is there anything else?"
Zhao Yuan looked at the various leaders in the main tent.
"If there's nothing else, it's the leader's turn to carefully patrol the camp."
"Everyone else is fine for now, go and rest."
"We've been traveling for four or five days straight,"
"Everyone, from top to bottom, including the soldiers, is exhausted."
"It seems we're about to face a series of major battles,"
"We must ensure that the soldiers get a proper rest."
"Yes!"
Qin Ming and the others accepted the order and left.
Zhu Wu did not leave immediately.
Instead, he suggested,
"Chief, the Huaixi army is holding their camp, they're definitely waiting for Wang Qing to send reinforcements,"
"We'd better send more scouts in Huaixi so we can discover Wang Qingde's army in advance."
"Um,"
Zhao Yuan nodded.
"You can arrange this, strategist."
"By the way, where is Brother Bianxiang?"
"And Fan Rui and the others from Mangdang Mountain,"
"They should be here soon, right?"
"A scout reported this before,"
Zhu Wu replied,
"The earliest it will be tomorrow morning, the latest it will be tomorrow dusk,"
"They'll catch up with us soon..."
Chapter 1142 Iron Ox, let's go for a swim!
"There are more than five hundred henchmen on Mangdang Mountain,"
Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,
"I wonder if we can fight?"
"this....."
Zhu Wu thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Chief, the people from Mangdang Mountain came here this time specifically to help us,"
"If we make them do the hard work of attacking camps,"
"Those living and working on Mount Mangdang, I'm afraid, will harbor much reluctance."
"Furthermore, the fighting strength of those Mangdang Mountain henchmen..."
Speaking of which,
Zhu Wu shook his head.
"Letting them take advantage of the situation is fine,"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to handle this kind of tough battle."
"A couple of days ago, we speculated that the one blocking the Qinghe River was none other than Huai Xi Wang Qinghou,"
Zhao Yuan said helplessly,
"Then he sent someone back to the mountain to report the news to Military Advisor Xu,"
"We'll send another three thousand infantrymen down the mountain, but we don't know when they'll arrive."
"Including the time it takes for scouts to return to the mountain to report,"
Zhu Wu made a rough estimate,
"It will take at least eight or nine days,"
"Only infantrymen could reach Xuzhou."
"Eight or nine days..."
Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,
"Now we just need to see when Wang Qing arrives."
"The Huaixi army under Wang Qing numbered only a little over ten thousand troops,"
Zhu Wu analyzed,
"Deduct the three thousand already here in Qinghe,"
"In Huaixi, Wang Qing has at most seven thousand soldiers left,"
"We also need to send some soldiers to stay and guard the mountain stronghold,"
"Even if Wang Qing sends reinforcements, there will be at most five thousand men."
"No matter what, we must break through this stronghold before Wang Qing arrives,"
Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice,
"The strategist will have to work hard these next couple of days,"
"Let's see if there are any other strategies to break through this Huaixi camp."
"Rest assured, Chieftain,"
Zhu Wu nodded and said,
"I'll definitely come up with a good plan in the next couple of days."
.....
After receiving the order to clear the Qinghe River channel from Zhao Yuan, Chixulong Feibao...
He then took Li Kui back to the boat on Qinghe.
Zhang Shun had done so long ago,
Then they returned to the cargo ship.
As soon as Black Whirlwind boarded the ship, he immediately urged,
"Our brother told us to clean up the river, so why aren't you getting to work!"
