Chapter 266: Chapter 140: Turning the Bai Family Has Succeeded! Next Step, Attack Changping Prefecture!_2
The two prefectures will be the key focus of the Miao Family’s attention going forward.
Just, which of the two prefectures should the Miao Family strike next?
Miao Xingjian, for a moment, found himself hesitating.
Changping Prefecture, despite having only six counties,
has already formed an alliance among the three major clans under the deterrence of the Luo Family.
Together, their collective strength has significantly increased.
Whereas Changli Prefecture, despite having seven counties,
is controlled by two rival clans that are sworn enemies and would never join forces.
Their combined might isn’t even comparable to the allied forces of Changping Prefecture.
Thus, Miao Xingjian found himself hesitating.
…
“Family Head.”
Outside the room of the Miao Family’s Family Head on Miao Family territory,
a Miao clansman suddenly entered.
He bowed respectfully.
“What is it?”
While gazing at the large map before him, Miao Xingjian softly inquired to the clansman behind him.
“Family Head, there are two matters I think necessary to discuss with you in detail,”
“First, there is intelligence that one of the three major clans of Changping Prefecture, the Bai Family, seems to be secretly mobilizing troops.”
“Apparently…they intend to strike at the Chen Family and the Huang Family behind the scenes.”
“Secondly, the enmity between the two major clan forces in Chenguan Prefecture has reportedly reached the brink of eruption.”
“The two great clan forces of Chenguan Prefecture have already gathered their armies at the borderlands.”
“It’s possible a war could break out between the two great clan forces of Chenguan Prefecture at any moment.”
In the room, after the Miao clansman finished speaking, he silently bowed his head and said no more.
“The Bai Family of Changping Prefecture?”
“Secretly mobilizing the army?”
“Suspected of targeting the Chen Family and the Huang Family?”
Muttering to himself, Miao Xingjian’s brow furrowed slightly.
Right now, shouldn’t the three major clans of Changping Prefecture be allied
and contending against the Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture?
Why would such intelligence come through?
Could it be that there’s something wrong with the information?
Beyond this first matter, obviously, the second seemed even more likely to catch his attention.
“How many armored soldiers have the two rival clan forces of Chenguan Prefecture amassed at the borderlands?” he asked softly after pondering for a moment.
The Miao clansman replied softly, “No less than a million…”
“No less than a million?” Miao Xingjian silently nodded and then spoke softly to the clansman behind him, “I’ve been informed, you may withdraw…”
…
Following Miao Xingjian’s words,
soon there was only Miao Xingjian left in the room.
Currently, the situation in Changping Prefecture is extremely chaotic.
The three major clans of Changping Prefecture have joined hands to resist the Luo Family.
The Luo Family mobilizes a great army, constantly pressuring the territory of Changping Prefecture.
In addition, there is intelligence saying
one of the three major clan forces of Changping Prefecture, the Bai Family, is even secretly moving troops, potentially planning a stab in the back of the Chen and Huang Families.
Under such complex circumstances, whether or not the Miao Family could benefit is yet to be determined.
But to avoid substantial losses for themselves
would already be quite favorable.
However, it’s different for Chenguan Prefecture.
The two major clan forces there are century-old nemeses, with hatred as deep as the ocean.
There’s no possibility of them uniting to face a common enemy.
Now, there’s also intelligence
that the two major clan forces in Chenguan Prefecture have stationed over a million troops at the borderlands.
A battle could break out at any moment.
Under such circumstances, if the Miao Family chooses to mobilize troops and quietly prepare,
once the two clans of Chenguan Prefecture start fighting, the Miao Family’s involvement could lead to substantial gains.
“Someone…”
After making all the arrangements,
Miao Xingjian suddenly called out.
“Family Head.”
A young man dressed in black, neither tall nor sturdy,
but who nonetheless exuded a subtle but unmistakable aura of deadly energy,
suddenly appeared behind Miao Xingjian.
“Send the word to secretly assemble the troops.”
“Take out the food reserves from our clan.”
“And transport them quietly in the direction of Chenguan Prefecture.”
With that, Miao Xingjian waved his hand,
and the man in black bowed slightly and then disappeared from the room.
…
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
By this time, the Bai Family of Changping Prefecture
had already secretly mobilized its troops and was all set.
Located outside of Changping Prefecture,
controlling half a million elite armored soldiers, was Luo Yong.
He was dressed in a striking suit of armor crafted from gold,
with a waist-slung sword of the finest mundane quality at his side.
Standing silently, his eyes slightly narrowed,
he calmly observed the vast land of Changping Prefecture ahead of him.
“Tang Jian, Tang Jian?”
Just as Luo Yong wanted to have Tang Jian, the great scammer, take a look at the fortune of the three major clans of Changping Prefecture,
he suddenly realized that Tang Jian, who should have been beside him, had vanished.
“Damn it.”
“Where has he gone?”
“Where to?”
Luo Yong looked around and upon not spotting Tang Jian, he casually asked a commanding officer, “Where’s Tang Jian?”
Seeing Luo Yong, the commanding officer nervously swallowed,
then quivered as he replied, “General, Tang, General Tang Jian said it was too cold standing on the mountaintop so he went back to the camp to warm up…”
