(Please Subscribe)_2 Tie Xiaosheng slightly winced at the pain, thinking that the price was indeed steep.

The main ingredients of the two Fourth-grade secret medicines were enough to recruit two Martial Cultivators of the Fifth Grade Upper tier!

Using these resources to exchange for a Third-grade treasure armor really wasn’t a good deal.

However, he understood Chu Yunyun’s intention.

The Iron Banner Gang wasn’t lacking in experts, but they were missing experts who could stand on their own and were reliable enough to take the forefront!

Chu Yunyun had paid such a price to obtain this armor for him, intending for him to uphold the Iron Banner Gang’s beams.

At that moment, Chu Yunyun’s expression turned solemn as she pointed at the map on her desk, “I called you back for the upcoming battles.

According to Mei Niang’s information, Sikong Chan is gathering various aristocratic families in Xiushui County, lobbying in the State City and at the court.

They are throwing money around, bribing everywhere, desperately fabricating charges to pin the crime of plotting rebellion on our Iron Banner Gang.

Currently, the intentions of Governor Wang Sheng of East State are unclear.

This man is cautious and indecisive by nature.

He neither wants to send troops to risk quashing the rebellion, nor does he want to face the risk of impeachment by the Imperial Censor by taking care of our Iron Banner Gang.

I predict that under heavy pressure from the court, he is likely to concede.

Once State City deploys a massive army, we must be prepared to face a siege by 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers from the Imperial Army.”

A buzz of voices arose in the hall at this time, and everyone’s expressions grew grave.

Since the Iron Banner Gang had taken up arms, they had been invincible in battle, unrivaled in every fight.

But these victories had been achieved over the county army and the Seventeen Linked Wharves.

This time, however, their opponent was the entire elite force of East State.

The Iron Banner Gang had to face not only an army of tens of thousands but also contend with several Generals of Fourth-grade tier from East State.

Especially Governor Wang Sheng of East State, who was a well-known expert of the Earthly List!

His presence was like Taishan, formidable and awe-inspiring.

Xunyang Hall Master Lu Jiuli turned slightly pale and forced a smile, “Surely it won’t come to that?

We’ve just defeated the Jiangnan County Navy Camp; he should know that our Iron Banner Gang isn’t easy to provoke.

The East State Official Army might be able to sweep through our Iron Banner Gang, but Wang Sheng will surely break a tooth in the process!”

Chu Yunyun shot Lu Jiuli a sidelong glance, “Precisely because we defeated the Jiangnan County Navy Camp, Wang Sheng needs to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion even more.

He can no longer keep the issue in Xiushui County under wraps.

The Capital City’s Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice can’t pretend to be unaware anymore.

To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, Wang Sheng must respond.

In the eyes of that Governor, our Iron Banner Gang’s importance still doesn’t compare to that powerful eunuch in the palace.

And even just to be cautious, we must also be prepared to engage the enemy.”

Lu Jiuli was rendered speechless.

In reality, he knew very well that the situation for the Iron Banner Gang was continuously deteriorating.

The likelihood of Governor of East State deciding to encircle and suppress them was over ninety percent.

Chu Yunyun had noticed the overly tense and somewhat despondent atmosphere in the hall.

Her expression indifferent, she said, “You need not worry so much; I already have a strategy to defeat the enemy.

The forces of the East State Official Army are indeed full of elite soldiers and illustrious generals, and in a normal battle, we are certainly no match for the court.

However, military strategy states that terrain is an aid to the troops, estimating the enemy to determine victory, considering the perils and distances, is the way of a supreme general.

Within Xiushui County, there happens to be a terrain that can help us defeat the enemy—look here—”

Initially, when Tie Xiaosheng heard Chu Yunyun mention ‘a strategy to defeat the enemy,’ he was skeptical.

Chu Yunyun was just a fourteen-year-old girl who had never commanded troops; how could she come up with an appropriate strategy to defeat the enemy?

It was mostly wishful thinking on Chu Yunyun’s part.

However, it was hard on her too, as Chu Xisheng had been forced to flee far, and the burden of the entire gang had fallen on Chu Yunyun’s shoulders.

She not only had to handle the gang’s complicated affairs in place of Chu Xisheng but also had to deal with the increasingly dire plight of the Iron Banner Gang.

She must certainly have agonized over it day and night, painstakingly devising plans.

However, as Tie Xiaosheng followed Chu Yunyun’s tender fingertips and looked towards a spot on the map, he was slightly startled.

“Jiudao Dock?”

“Exactly, Jiudao Dock!” Chu Yunyun nodded slightly, “My intention is to appoint Xunyang Hall Master Lu Jiuli to lead, commanding the present Outer Hall Masters and one thousand core gang members, along with five thousand miners to enter Jiudao Dock, and construct a dam there to accumulate the waters from upstream of Jiudao River.”

Xunyang Hall Master Lu Jiuli abruptly stood up, staring fixedly at the map, “Does the Deputy Flag Master mean to use the accumulated water of Jiudao River to defeat the enemy?”

His pupils initially narrowed slightly, then a hint of excitement appeared.

To the north of Jiudao Dock was a small lake.

On both sides of Jiudao River stood towering mountains.

If they built a dam there, they could easily accumulate a vast amount of river water.

Once this torrent unleashed from Jiudao River, it could flood the banks of Shenxiu River across dozens of miles, even sweeping away tens of thousands of troops!

The rest of the people in the hall also involuntarily stood up and gathered around the map.

“Water and fire are ruthless, detrimental to harmony with heaven, used only as a last resort!

Whether we use this strategy depends on what the Governor chooses.”

Chu Yunyun’s gaze darkened slightly, her words tinged with an unwavering and resolute ruthlessness.

“In this segment of Shenxiu River, the West Bank is bordered by the mountains of West Mountain, steep and formidable, with difficult and perilous roads.

If Wang Sheng decides to dispatch troops from State City, he will definitely come from the East Bank.

Starting tomorrow, Deputy Flag Master, you may take 50,000 navy troops to station in Shangliu County on the East Bank, and I will additionally allocate 10,000 troops to you.

You need to set up defenses there and, under the guise of scorched earth, try to evacuate the surrounding civilians as much as possible.”

Lu Jiuli thought to himself that this Little Sister Chu still had a kind heart.

He looked at the map, lost in thought, “This strategy can indeed defeat the enemy, but if we build a dam on the Jiudao River, we might not be able to do so without a trace.

What if their spies discover exactly what we are doing?”
