"Another trap? Where did that come from? "Ren Xiaosu asked.
In the past, whenever he did not understand something, he would look for answers in books. However, the knowledge in books might not necessarily be able to explain everything in this world.
Even if he asked someone who understood these principles, those people might not be willing to tell him.
Now that there was a military command expert beside him, Ren Xiaosu felt he could make up for it.
When P5092 heard his question, he answered, "I received news last night that all the barbarians on the Wang Clan's front line at Mt. Daniu have disappeared. The Wang Clan also found out about it a day ago. However, the Wang Clan did not report this to the Pyro Company. Otherwise, the Pyro Company would not have suffered such a loss. They must have taken precautions against it. "
Ren Xiaosu remained silent. He realized the Wang Clan was so desperate to unify the Pyro Company that they were resorting to unscrupulous means.
Once the Pyro Company was pinned down by the barbarians, the Wang Clan could just sit back and reap the spoils later.
P5092 drew a simple map on the yellow soil with a tree branch. "This is the outline of the battlefield between the Pyro Company and the Wang Clan in the north. Both sides are more than 200 kilometers away from each other and are helping each other. Although they haven't discussed anything before, the front line at Mt. Daniu and the Great Wall are like the connection points in a defensive deployment."
"Look, this is the Erjinchuan. Once the expeditionary army commits all their troops to the Pyro Company's side, the Wang Clan's troops can immediately outflank the expeditionary army from the Erjinchuan direction. At that time, they'll be in a dilemma. They won't be able to fight back, and they won't be able to escape either." P5092 continued to explain, "So you can see that the current situation is very disadvantageous for the expeditionary army."
"That's right," Ren Xiaosu said.
"But you've also fought against the expeditionary army before. Do you think they're such short-sighted people?" P5092 asked, "They're willing to use the lives of tens of thousands of elderly people as bait to win a war. Why would such people put themselves in such a dangerous situation? So they must have a backup plan. I suspect there's still a large main force in the northern part of the expeditionary army waiting for the Wang Clan to reinforce the Pyro Company! This is the most reasonable explanation! "
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then there will be a few tough battles to fight in the future. But didn't everyone say that the environment in the north is bad? Where did they get so many people from?"
"The expeditionary army is different from us. They're moving their entire clan south. We have the Kyung Clan, Fortress 178, the Wang Clan, the Kong Clan, the Pyro Company, and the Zhou Clan, so of course we have more troops than them. In fact, we even outnumber them by several times. However, we're not united." P5092 sighed and said, "This gives them an opportunity to take advantage of us."
Based on P5092's speculations, the entire population of the northern tribes was probably only about a fifth of the population of the Central Plains, or maybe even less.
But they were all grown men who had become soldiers, and the Central Plains was not united yet, so it was hard to say who would win this battle.
"We have to inform the Wang Clan about this." P5092 looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "If this line of defense falls into their trap and collapses, it'll definitely make things worse for the front line at the Great Wall."
"But the Wang Clan didn't inform y 'all about the situation in time. Don't you hate them?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"I hate them." P5092 said, "But hatred can't solve the problem. Everything depends on winning this war, so we have to inform them about this."
"You're quite open-minded," Ren Xiaosu said with a sigh.
However, P5092 shook his head. "I'm not as open-minded as you think. Otherwise, I wouldn't have hated the infighting in power. It's just that my dream has always been to protect the survival of humanity in the Central Plains. If I don't inform the Wang Clan about this, it'll be equivalent to me betraying my dream."
"Alright then." Ren Xiaosu then took out a satellite phone from his storage space and made a call.
P5092 was taken aback. "Where did you get this phone from? And who are you calling?"
Ren Xiaosu ignored him. After the call connected, a calm voice came from the other end. "I'm Wang Shengzhi."
P5092's expression gradually changed. Ren Xiaosu said, "I'm not calling for anything else. The matter at Stronghold 31 has been settled. I'm calling to inform you this time that we suspect there's another expeditionary army's main force north of Mt. Daniu. They might be waiting to launch a sneak attack while y 'all are rushing to reinforce the Pyro Company, so I'm reminding you to be careful."
"Alright." Wang Shengzhi replied with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder, but we've already discovered that army, so we won't fall for their trap."
"How did y 'all find out?" Ren Xiaosu asked in surprise.
However, Wang Shengzhi did not answer this question. Instead, he started asking about Ren Xiaosu's well-being. After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Ren Xiaosu said, "Also, I hope there won't be another situation where information isn't shared when the enemy is right in front of us. I think everyone in the Central Plains should unite for this war, don't you think so?"
After a long silence, the other end of the line said, "Alright, I promise you. After hanging up, I'll get someone to share the Wang Clan's information on the expeditionary army with the Pyro Company."
After that, the two of them hung up.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at P5092 and saw the surprise on his face.
P5092 could not understand why it seemed like Ren Xiaosu and Wang Shengzhi were on very good terms. Wang Shengzhi had even agreed to Ren Xiaosu's request to share information with him!
As a matter of fact, this was not a small matter. Letting the expeditionary army deplete the Pyro Company's strength was probably a very important part of the Wang Clan's plan to unify the Central Plains. How could they change their plans just because of a single person?
However, Ren Xiaosu did not explain too much. There was no need to ask. If he asked, it would only affect the reputation of the Northwest's Young Marshal!
P5092 suddenly said, "I keep getting the feeling that the Wang Clan actually has the upper hand in this war. The main forces of the expeditionary army should be hiding very well. I wonder how the Wang Clan discovered them. Where are we going next? "
Ren Xiaosu took out a map. "I read from Hope Media's newspaper that an infantry brigade from the Northwest has come to reinforce the Central Plains. They'll be stationed near Mt. Youyushan. Mt. Youyushan is west of Mt. Daniu, so it looks like they'll be joining forces with the Wang Clan. Let's go join forces with this brigade. "
P5092 thought for a moment. "Although an infantry brigade already has a large number of people, the scale of this war is no longer something an infantry brigade can control."
What he meant was very clear. It was only an infantry brigade, so they could not do anything at all.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not explain too much. They would only know what this infantry brigade could do after they fought it out!
"Besides, if we're going to join forces with them at Mt. Youyushan, it looks like we'll have to go through Mt. Daniu, right? That's the main battlefield. Why don't we take a detour? It'll be safer that way."
"It's fine. We'll just have to kill our way over," Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly.
