Chapter 122 - Immediately Deploy Troops

    Outside the town of Wangtao, amidst the large army.

    Watching the urgent expression on Tian Yu, who was over sixty years old, Cao Shuang couldn't help but swallow his saliva momentarily.

    "Tian Gong," Cao Shuang asked carefully, "From Wangtao City to Guangwu is more than a hundred miles. Even if my subordinates can reach Guangwu before noon tomorrow, it will take at least three days for the relief troops to arrive here!"

    Tian Yu patted Cao Shuang's shoulder: "Shaobo, you grew up in Yè City and Luoyang, and as the eldest son of the General of the Army, do you know how ordinary soldiers can stand out in the military?"

    Cao Shuang shook his head blankly and asked tentatively, "Accumulating merit or leading the charge and breaking through enemy lines?"

    "Neither of them," Tian Yu said: "The greatest merit for standing out is the timely saving!"

    "Look at this place, the nine thousand troops are lined up by the river and there is no defense. Su Li said that KeBiNeng is leading two thousand horsemen, but according to my estimation, it is quite possible for KeBiNeng to gather three thousand or four thousand horsemen."

    "Ke Bibi this time is clearly using Su Li's troops as bait to lure the old man out. If the general also loses, then unless the central army of the court arrives here, within a few years, the Yanjun will be unable to withstand the raids of the Xianbei people!"

    "At that time, not only KeBibi, even today's obedient Su Li, LeGuanNi, BudeGen, and the Uighurs may all directly rebel!"

    Tian Yu sighed: "The old man knows that the General sent you here, though to sharpen you, actually still does not want you to encounter danger."

    "Not that the old man is unwilling to train you, but this matter of requesting for relief is most suitable for you to handle!"

    Cao Shuang got on one knee and performed a military salute: "Tian Gong, please be assured! My subordinates will go quickly and come back quickly!"

    Tian Yu nodded: "Go quickly and come back quickly! The old man is relying on these two thousand elite troops of our department to suppress Su Li's department and Wuhuan's loyal follow-up. If our department suffers more losses, Xianbei and Wuhuan light cavalry may also disperse."

    Cao Shuang rose and mounted his horse, saying no more than that, and extended his hands towards the direction of Tian Yu.

    Tian Yu took out a warm copper seal from his chest and placed it gently in Cao Shuang's hand.

    "Tian Gong farewell!" Cao Shuang did not hesitate either, galloping on his horse and left. When he reached the end of the column, he called up nine cavaliers in his own squadron and, carefully, also took an extra ten horses for war.
