Chapter 318: A Huge Gamble

"No, it's too dangerous."

Yan Lang rejected his decision without even thinking about it. There were only more than 200 guards in total. Even if they were all highly skilled in martial arts and had special abilities, the hundreds of thousands of Western Hu troops were not to be trifled with. If their leader or Khan was so easy to assassinate, someone would have done it long ago. How could it be their turn? Now all of them relied on Wei Chengyi. If something happened to him, what would they do?
Compared to Yan Lang's excitement, Qingying seemed much calmer. As the commander of the guards, no one knew the strength of his Second Master and the guards better than him. Since he had proposed it, he must be sure of it. If the Second Master insisted, he would not mind taking a gamble with him, but the prerequisite was that the Second Master must take him with him.

"I agree!"

Shen Xiangwan's voice rang out again. Facing the gazes of several people, she walked straight to Wei Chengyi and sat down. She looked up at Yan Lang's eyes full of disapproval, "Uncle Yan, when we decided to overthrow the dog emperor, our lives were destined to be one huge gamble after another. Chengyi's idea may be a little crazy, but it is also a gamble. If we win the bet, we can not only end this battle in the shortest time, but also seize more war horses, enrich our military strength, and train more cavalry. If the Western Hu people dare to invade again next year, we will not be as passive as we are now, and we will have the strength to fight them hard. If we lose the bet, the worst that can happen is that we have to start all over again. We are still young and have plenty of opportunities. Of course, I know you are more afraid that Chengyi will be in danger. You can rest assured about this. Even if the assassination fails, with their martial arts, they still have the strength to escape."

Although she had been in the back tent before, she heard every word of their conversation. She believed in Wei Chengyi and the guards. Moreover, Wei Chengyi could enter and exit the space at will. If it was really a crisis, the worst that could happen was that he would take all the guards into the space, and she would help them out here. However, that was a bad idea. There were too many secrets in the space. If possible, she didn't want too many people to know the specialness of the space.

"I also think that this is a rare opportunity. From the fact that King Quliang and his men suffered such a great loss and still stayed thirty miles outside the city without moving, we can see that the Western Hu people are arrogant and look down on us. They probably would never dream that we would dare to send people deep into the grassland to assassinate them. They should not be prepared at all. Our chances of success are very high. Once the leader of the Western Hu reinforcements or the Khan dies, they will surely cause internal strife and will not break through again in a short period of time. We can also take this opportunity to work hard to train our cavalry. However, in order to have more cavalry, we must also do our best to swallow up those Western Hu talents outside."

Qingying, who had remained silent the whole time, followed up by saying that he believed in the strength of the Second Master and the abilities of the guards, they would definitely be able to do it. However, he was worried about the three counties. If they did not eat up all the Western Hu people, it would be difficult for their cavalry to develop quickly. If the Western Hu people attacked again next year or in a few months, they would still be in a passive position, and they would not be able to use the same tricks to force back the Western Hu army, because they would definitely be prepared!

Looking back and forth at them, Yan Lang lowered his eyes and took a few deep breaths. After a long while, he raised his head again: "Okay, since you all agree, then I have no objection. I will summon all the generals to discuss how to eat those Western Hu people outside. Cheng Yi, when do you plan to set off?"

Isn't it just gambling? He just risked his life to gamble with them. At worst, just like Wanwan said, he could start over.

Wei Chengyi did not respond immediately, but turned his head to look at Shen Xiangwan. After staring at her deeply for a while, he held her hand and said, "Of course, the sooner the better. I will gather all the guards. It will probably only take one day, and we must set off in two days at the latest."

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. No one knows whether the reinforcements of the Western Hu people have already gathered. Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to drag it out.

"Okay, I'll send someone to notify General Wang and the others right away."

Nodding, Yan Lang stood up and left. Before Wei Chengyi left, they had to discuss how to take down those Western Hu people outside. It would not be an easy task for either side. This time, they were really taking a crazy gamble!
"Second Master, I..." "Qingying, you stay here. We need you to wipe out those Western Hu people outside!"

As if anticipating what he was going to say, Wei Chengyi spoke first. He had known long ago that compared to being the commander of his personal guards, he was more suitable to be a general commanding thousands of troops. This was one of the reasons why he had kept him in the barracks in the past few months. Moreover, since he was personally in charge of Dafeng County, besides him, only Qingying and General Wang could command the soldiers. He believed that with him around, their plan to swallow up those Western Hu people outside would surely succeed.

"But···"

"No buts, this is an order!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Qingying still wanted to fight for it, but Wei Chengyi still didn't give him a chance, and even spoke in a harsher tone. Shen Xiangwan, the only one who could speak for him, looked back and forth at them, leaned back in her chair and chose to stay out of the matter. Although with Qingying's company, their chances of success would be greater, but since Chengyi decided to keep him, he must have his reasons. She knew nothing, so it would be better for her to stay out of it.

Although Wei Chengyi's plan was crazy, it was based on their own strength and foundation, and the chance of success was still very high. In the afternoon, Shen Xiangwan did not interfere with their discussion of business. After lunch, he took Yuan Yue to the wounded camp. After continuous efforts day and night, the soldiers with serious injuries had been treated, and the rest were basically slightly injured.

"The wound has healed well, and I can walk around now."

Shen Xiangwan personally checked the wounds of the soldiers who had been disemboweled two nights ago. The weather was still very cold, which was not conducive to wound recovery. In order to make them recover faster, she specially asked someone to ask Yan Junling for a lot of smokeless charcoal. There were charcoal fires everywhere inside and outside the wounded camp for heating. Perhaps minor injuries were not very obvious, but it was obvious from the wounds of the seriously injured soldiers that their recovery was no slower than when the weather was warm.

"Down, down to the ground?"

The soldier said with difficulty, eyes wide open, when the effect of Ma Fei San wore off, he could feel severe pain even when just breathing, and when he ate his first meal after ventilation, even liquid food was a difficult torture for him, and going to the toilet was a life-threatening thing for him, but now she asked him to walk around? Are you sure you're not kidding?
