"Tu Hai is a famous Tatar general. He dares to go deep alone because he has 30,000 troops under his command. It's easier said than done for us to deal with him!" Chu Hongliu muttered in dissatisfaction.
Although Chu Hongliu's voice was soft, everyone present was an expert. His words were heard clearly.
Song Qingshu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Tu Hai may have 30,000 troops, but in my opinion, he's just a chicken and a dog. It's easy to defeat him."
Chu Hongliu, Meng Bofei, and Sha Tongtian almost sneered when they heard Song Qingshu's' bold words'. Although they didn't mock him, they couldn't hide the disdain on their faces.
Not to mention them, even Huang Rong, Xiao Feng, and the others had strange expressions on their faces. In their initial plan, they planned to win a small battle to boost the morale of the Golden Snake Battalion, but from Song QingShu's words, it seemed that he intended to swallow these thirty thousand people in one go. This was too unrealistic.
"How many people do you need to annihilate Tu Hai's 30,000 men?" Chu Hongliu was afraid that Song QingShu would suddenly change his mind, so she immediately cut off Song QingShu's path of retreat.
"Humph, who doesn't know how to talk big? If you can't destroy Tu Hai, let's see if you still have the face to be the Golden Snake King." Sha Tongtian and Meng Bofei subconsciously looked at each other. They could see the schadenfreude in each other's eyes. This Song QingShu was still young. To think that he couldn't keep his cool and allowed Old Chu to grab hold of his weakness.
"I only need Lady … Madam Yuan, Old Hero Situ, Chief Shui, and Chief Cheng," Song Qingshu said slowly.
The mockery in Chu Hongliu's eyes deepened. There were less than 8,000 men in total. How could they win? But these few battalions could be regarded as hardcore supporters of Song Qingshu. Chu Hongliu and the others couldn't wait to be exhausted by Song Qingshu in Tu Hai's hands.
"Is there anything else the other battalions can help with?" Although Chu Hongliu had decided not to do anything, he still had to show the proper attitude.
Song Qingshu said with a serious expression, "There is indeed a very important mission here that needs to be handed over to a wise and courageous leader."
"Oh?" Seeing how serious he was, everyone in the hall became curious.
"I need a leader to lead our troops to guard Old Eagle Gully," Song Qingshu pointed at the map and continued, "Once the Tu Hai army collapses, this is where they will have to pass.
This boss needs to ensure that not a single soldier of the Tu Hai army escapes. "
Chu Hongliu almost burst out laughing when he heard this. He hurriedly volunteered, "If the leader doesn't mind, leave this task to me."
Hmph, Tu Hai was a famous general who had been through hundreds of battles and commanded thirty thousand elite troops. How could he lose to Song Qingshu's mere eight thousand men? Wasn't this mission a free lunch? When the time comes, I just need to go through the motions and guarantee that I won't even see Tu Haijun's shadow, and I can escape unscathed.
Song Qingshu glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "This place is of great importance. Can Villa Master Chu guarantee that you can wipe out Tu Hai's army in one fell swoop?"
Chu Hongliu said with a fake smile, "Hehe, as long as the leader has the ability to defeat Tu Hai's army, I can naturally wipe them all out."
"Whether or not we can wipe out Tu Hai's army is related to the success or failure of the entire war. Do you dare to make a military pledge, Villa Master Chu?" Song Qingshu suddenly stood up and stared at Chu Hongliu.
Chu Hongliu was shocked. Why did he feel that Song Qingshu had dug a pit for him to jump into?
However, he was the leader of a battalion. How could he be so easily scared by a few words? Chu Hongliu braced himself and said, "Okay, I will make a military pledge. If the leader really defeats Tu Hai's army, I will definitely leave them all in Old Eagle Gully. If I can't do that, you can do whatever you want to me."
Humph, I don't believe that your eight thousand men can defeat thirty thousand men!
However, Chu Hongliu was not stupid. Although he agreed, he insisted on the premise that Song Qingshu must defeat Tu Hai's army. As long as Song Qingshu could not do that, he would have a reason to shirk the responsibility. But it was a pipe dream to think that eight thousand bandits could defeat the thirty thousand elite soldiers led by General Tu Hai.
"Okay!" Song Qingshu nodded and began to assign tasks to the other leaders.
Jiao Waner of Jiangsu's Golden Dragon Gang, Rong Cai of Zhejiang's Roaming Dragon Gang, Nie Tianfeng of Huainan's Flying Tiger Valley, and Zheng Qiyun of the 72 Islands Alliance were all neutral figures. Song Qingshu assigned them to lead their troops to harass the other three armies of the Manchurian Qing.
The four leaders looked at each other and communicated their thoughts with their eyes. Although they were more inclined towards Song Qingshu on the surface, they were still neutral deep down. If Song Qingshu wanted to use their troops to fight Tu Hai, they would definitely not be willing to do so.
They would definitely not be willing to do so.
They could still accept it if it was just to delay the Qing army's march. After all, it was just delaying and harassing them. Even if they were injured, it would not be a serious blow. They could also take the opportunity to observe. Once Song Qingshu's main force was defeated, they could take the opportunity to escape into the mountains and find a place to occupy. Their strength would not be reduced at all.
If Song Qingshu's main force really defeated Tu Hai's army, they could also report the credit of this task and be rewarded according to their contributions after the event. Of course, this situation was impossible in the eyes of the four leaders.
Therefore, the four of them gladly accepted this task.
As for Meng Bofei and Sha Tongtian, Song Qingshu asked them to lead their troops to stay in the headquarters and wait for further orders. Seeing that they did not have to do anything, the two of them were naturally happy to watch the show.
After the leaders received their tasks and left, Song QingShu said to Yang Miaozhen, Tian Di Hui, and Mu Palace's people, "Fourth Lady, Zongduozhu Chen, Young Duke Mu, there's something I need to trouble you with …"
Before leaving, Yang Miaozhen took a deep look at Song Qingshu and said, "So you were serious when you said you wanted to destroy Tu Hai's army."
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "I've always been a serious man."
"I hope you won't let me down." Yang Miaozhen did not ask about Song Qingshu's specific plan. She left after leaving these words.
After some arrangements, only Song Qingshu, Zhou Zhiruo, the women, the two heroes of the WuTang Sect, and Xiao Feng were left in the hall.
"I wonder how Prince Song plans to defeat Tu Hai's army of 30,000." Seeing that almost everyone had left, Huang Rong could not help but ask.
"Madam Guo has always been known as the female Zhuge Liang. I wonder what good plan you have?" Song Qingshu smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked a question.
"The enemy is outnumbered. I'm afraid there is only one way to win." Ever since Song Qingshu announced that he wanted to destroy Tu Hai's army of 30,000, Huang Rong had been thinking about how to do it. Now, she vaguely had an idea.
"I've also thought of a way." Xiao Feng, who had been silent all this while, coldly watching the people of the Golden Snake Camp fighting against each other. Now, he laughed loudly.
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "In that case, let's follow the example of the sages of the Three Kingdoms and write our own plans on our palms. Let's see if we can think of the same thing."
