After Luzi arrived at Changzi County City, he officially took over the task of searching for Feng Zhiyuan in Shangdang County. He couldn't afford to rest and immediately summoned various department heads in batches. Once their respective tasks were arranged, he finally felt a slight sense of stability.
His personal presence at the scene meant that even if certain things didn't need to be explicitly stated, all departments could feel the pressure. Luzi understood that the key issue was not whether each department was taking it seriously, but rather that the problem was indeed too tricky. Fortunately, no one admitted their inability, which provided a justification. Since there were currently no good solutions, they could simply assign more personnel to the task.
As for applying pressure on the opponent, the presence of hundreds of thousands of Qin Army troops outside was sufficient. Those responsible for carrying out covert missions only needed to execute their own duties without needing to expose themselves and alert the enemy. This approach sometimes felt frustrating, but it was simply the reality. Perhaps this is what is referred to as the way; the cost of crossing taboos is immense.
After sending off the last group of personnel who came to report on their tasks, Luzi strolled through the courtyard to admire the flowers. He intended to calm his mind and organize his thoughts, but found it ineffective. Since he had no desire to ponder, he decided not to think at all!
Looking up at the sky in the direction of Lightwolf Fortress, there was still a lingering concern. He had completed everything that needed to be done before leaving; now it was up to Generals Meng, Li, and Han to adapt as necessary. Things often unfolded this way; despite believing that he had prepared thoroughly, unexpected issues would still arise. Even if one did their best, they couldn't guarantee that problems wouldn't occur during that time; if one were truly indecisive again, it would be better not to do anything at all!
Yet for some reason, there was an unsettling feeling stirring within him.
In fact, it was hard to blame anyone for lacking composure in this matter. The truth was that everyone had their own thoughts. There would always be discrepancies between the planner's intentions and the executor's actions, possibly due to the strong element of randomness involved.
For the Qin Army currently stationed at Lightwolf Fortress, everyone knew that as long as they remained undetected, there would be no danger. Temporary humiliation and burden were actually preparations for achieving a greater victory. However, this came with a prerequisite: they must not encounter any unintended collisions.
Another concerning situation was that General Wang He, who commanded the main force of the Qin Army, held the key attitude towards the entire plan. As long as he could fully trust that Luzi had arranged responses for all scenarios, then everything else would be manageable. But therein lay the problem: did absolute trust truly exist between people?
Stay still! Then nothing will happen!
No matter how many changes occur, having a set rule can turn danger into safety. Maintaining composure is crucial for ultimately winning this game; perhaps this is what is referred to as helplessness! Thinking of this made Luzi smile and shake his head. Clearly not a gambler, yet he found himself betting every time! After contemplating this, he ordered someone to notify Sun Thirteen to come over. Sending someone directly out of the city with a message was clearly too late; the only option left was to use carrier pigeons! Once Sun Thirteen took away two letters and released them, everything else would depend on fate.
The location of Lightwolf Fortress was much closer to Changzi County City than Qin Army Camp. The flight speed of both carrier pigeons was roughly similar; thus, they would arrive at Lightwolf Fortress first before reaching Qin Army Camp. Fortunately, the carrier pigeon heading for Qin Army Camp arrived promptly at its destination.
Through the frequent reports from the frontline scouts, Left Chancellor Wang He has already learned that Lightwolf Fortress is in danger. The Zhao Army has once again dispatched a Cavalry Unit of fifteen hundred men, which is now stationed outside Lightwolf Fortress. As for the true intentions of this Zhao Army unit, no intelligence has been sent back from the front for the time being. Regardless of what the Zhao Army intends to do, it certainly cannot be anything good. It can also be inferred that something significant must be happening within Lightwolf Fortress!
Should he immediately dispatch the Qin Army's Cavalry to provide support? This truly puts General Wang in a difficult position. Alone in the Main Tent, he paced back and forth, sitting down to repeatedly examine the letter sent by Luzi a few days ago. The content of the letter was clear: the main force should focus solely on fighting. As for Lightwolf Fortress, it would remain safe even if the sky were to fall!
It’s easy to say, but one must also be realistic, right!?
Wang He gazed at the Military Map, deep in thought. There were already over a thousand Zhao Army troops stationed within Lightwolf Fortress, and soon another Thousand-Man Squad arrived to camp outside the city. Meanwhile, aside from the one hundred twenty men originally led by Luzi, there were only a few hundred Korean Army soldiers who were said to have already joined the Qin Army ranks. Compared to this small number of troops, how could they pose any pressure on the Zhao Army!?
As the saying goes, every community of ten households must have loyalty and trust. Although many of the Zhao Army commanders are related by family ties, that does not mean there are no skilled individuals among them. If they were truly discovered, it would lead to a situation where they are attacked from both inside and outside! Strangely enough, Lightwolf Fortress remained extremely stable at this time.
No matter how one looks at it, any changes should be reported back to the main camp. After all, Luzi is not currently at Lightwolf Fortress; this is also a shortcoming on Meng Wu and Li Xin's part. Sending a message home for reassurance would at least allow Commander to have some understanding of the situation. Since everything is under control, there is no need to worry about this suddenly appearing Zhao Army anymore. If there are concerns that the Zhao Army outside plans to use an excuse to enter and inspect the city, then news seeking support from the main Qin Army should have been relayed back long ago.
Having not received any news from within Lightwolf Fortress for some time, Wang He began to feel restless. If he waited until things started moving in the city before rushing to provide support, it would be too late! Luzi! When I offered you five thousand support troops, you refused! With this troop helping Meng Wu and Li Xin defend the city, why should I have to endure this difficulty again!? If the Zhao Army were to retake this city, it would have an extremely adverse impact on the decisive battle that would follow!
Feeling that whatever happens should still be in his own hands for peace of mind, Wang He finally made up his mind to send troops and immediately ordered his general Dong Qing to bring three thousand Cavalry Units to support Lightwolf Fortress.
They must arrive at this city before noon tomorrow! There must be no mistakes!
Dong Qing understood well how crucial capturing this Zhao Army Granary was for future battle situations. After receiving orders, he quickly mobilized his troops and set off at full speed with light equipment. As for their marching speed, they would run as fast as they could!
About an hour after sending out the support troops, Luzi's carrier pigeon message arrived promptly. At this point, Wang He had already made up his mind; regardless of what was in the letter, he would do everything possible to take Lightwolf Fortress. Holding onto the letter without opening it for quite some time, he casually tossed it onto the table and stood up to patrol outside the camp.
Lightwolf Fortress is currently extremely stable, with not even a hint of the atmosphere of war. Thanks to ample preparation time, the fake accounts have been crafted to appear more real than the genuine ones under the guidance of expert professors.
After confirming that everything is in order, Li Xin believes it is now time to let Sima Shang and others enter the city to audit the accounts. If they can see through the deception, then there's no need to hold back the sword in hand! It might just lead to a confrontation right then and there!
