My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 645 - 213: Bestowing Death to White Robe_3

Since I can't keep it a secret anymore, there's no need to hide it.

All this heritage.

It was originally left by my master, not stolen by myself. I had been patient before because I lacked sufficient strength, but after reaching the True Power Realm, possessing the power to protect myself, why not be more open.

"Boom!"

Right after Chen Sansi put away his gun.

A loud noise came from the nearby woods, followed by a large swath of trees collapsing.

Then Wang Zhi jumped out, looking somewhat excited, "I might as well be a Martial Saint now, how about it, how long will it take you to surpass Martial Saint?"

"Uncertain."

Chen Sansi spoke of his experiences: "The mortal flesh has been eroded by impure Qi for too long, and reactivating the body's hidden secrets is a lengthy process that should not be rushed."

"Really?"

Wang Zhi was puzzled, "But I heard that Prince Cao Rong reached the True Power Realm a few months ago through the 'Dragon Scripture.'"

"That quick?"

Chen Sansi's mind was all on the battlefield and he hadn't paid attention to the situation in the south.

"Exactly."

Wang Zhi scratched his head, saying, "Could the fourth one be crazy, actually giving the 'Dragon Scripture' left by our master to the court? But at that time, if he hadn't given it, the court wouldn't have let us stay to observe mourning."

"Speaking of which."

"A year's time has already passed." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"After this battle is over, we still don't know what to do."

"And with the fourth still in the Capital City, if we don't follow the imperial decree, won't he be in trouble?"

"Twee!"

As the two were talking.

A blue bird came chirping overhead.

"The camp must have an urgent matter."

Chen Sansi returned to the camp.

Inside the Central Army Tent.

A eunuch had been waiting there for a long time.

"Beiliang Governor Chen Sansi, heed the order, resources are tight in the rear, and the Enemy Army is surrounding us, you must secure victory over West Qi and recover the two states before winter."

"Before winter?"

Chen Sansi asked, "Isn't that a bit too rushed?"

"Mr. Chen."

The eunuch placed the military order in his hand, earnestly saying, "It's true that you are suffering in the front lines, but the court is also wracking its brains to arrange military supplies. Since the start of the war, King Jing's hair has turned half white from worry, and the Cabinet officials haven't left the court a single step. Everyone is under great pressure, Mr. Chen, please understand."

"..."

Chen Sansi knew even before the battle began that supplies would be a major issue.

He also understood that dragging it out like this, they would eventually be unable to sustain themselves.

But the problem with supplies.

Wasn't just on their side.

The West Qi Army needed them as well.

And their situation was no better.

The best strategy for now was still to delay and observe.

First securing a position where one cannot be defeated, then waiting for the opponent's collapse.

In such circumstances, the side that gets anxious first is more likely to make mistakes.

Even if the court was under great pressure, they couldn't just follow their strategy.

"I have received the military order."

The eunuch, with a high-pitched voice, said, "The court trusts Mr. Chen's capabilities, which is why they had Mr. Chen travel thousands of miles to the west to take command, hoping you won't disappoint the court."

"I understand."

Chen Sansi just accepted the military order, without arguing with the other party.

When in the field, one may not always follow the commands of the sovereign.

Just like the past battle at Langjuxu Mountain.

In military operations, the most important thing is one's own judgment, which should not be easily influenced or disturbed by external factors.

After sending the eunuch away.

Chen Sansi went to the top of the city wall, overlooking the Enemy Army camp several tens of miles away, and asked, "What has the West Qi done in recent days?"

"Nothing temporarily."

Tong Xiaochu said, "According to the scout's report, they are just sitting still in the camp, but the less they move, the more I feel that Han Xiang has even greater schemes in mind, which really makes me nervous."

Chen Sansi raised his hand.

Without speaking, Xia Cong immediately spread out the map in front of him.

The confrontation between the enemy and us.

It's nothing more than putting oneself in the opponent's place and thinking about the problem.

If he were Han Xiang, how would he act to break the current stalemate?

"Si Prefecture."

Chen Sansi's finger landed on a robust city, "Who is guarding here?"

"The commander Ni Shikui, a third-generation court official, he himself has achieved Mastery of Meridian Passage, there are only four thousand troops in the prefecture, used to maintain the security of the supply routes, it's also our largest transit granary."

As Tong Xiaochu was talking, he realized something was off, "Governor, do you mean Ni Shikui might rebel?"

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't believe it, but considering the precedents set by Lishi Prefecture and Ma Zhen, he had to be cautious.

"Wang Jun."

Chen Sansi ordered, "Send a cultivator in the Qi Refining Middle Stage over to check, if anything abnormal is found, execute him immediately."

"Alright."

Wang Jun nodded, "What about other places, could there be more people rebelling? To my knowledge, there are a fair number of garrisons scattered around Jiazhou, they don't have many troops, but if chaos erupts, it could spell big trouble."

"There will definitely be."

Chen Sansi slowly said, "But with so many, it's not possible to check each one, we can only wait for a fire to start somewhere, then figure out how to put it out, if it really comes to it, we might just have to... retreat."

"Retreat?"

Teng Le was stunned, "Governor Chen, do you mean to give up Cloud Top Prefecture, and pull back east of Luoshui? If we do that, can't they simply take a detour across the river, entering the heart of Jiazhou?"

"I understand the Governor's intent."

Tong Xiaochu took over the conversation, "If our large army continues to stay in Cloud Top Prefecture, our rear will be vulnerable to disturbances, only by pulling back can we then contain the disloyal and treacherous."

"But..."

Teng Le hesitated, "Today someone from the palace just came, ordering us to decide the battle quickly, wouldn't retreating be tantamount to defying the order?"
