The Red Mansion: From a Small Pawn to a Leader

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the lake, like a beautiful painting, which was intoxicating. However, at this moment, Li Hu felt a mixture of indescribable emotions and could not calm down for a long time.

Lin Daiyu's letter arrived. Li Hu thought of many possibilities, but he didn't think of this one. When the cunning rabbit dies, the good dog is cooked. But the rabbit is not dead yet!

At this time, a cold wind blew from the lake. Li Hu couldn't help but shiver all over, not knowing whether it was the coldness of his body or the chillness of his heart.

Wang Daniu saw this and hurried forward to put a thick fur coat on him.

Li Hu was still cold and tightened his fur coat.

Wang Daniu: "It's windy, let's go back."

Li Hu hummed, wrapped his fur coat tightly around him and walked towards the tent.

In the distance, Wang Yaozu strode over.

Li Hu stopped.

Walking up to him, Wang Yaozu reported, "General, the government troops from Hanyang have arrived. They are waiting for your order."

Li Hu looked up at the sky and said, "It's the end of the month. The waning moon will only appear at dawn. At that time, the White Lotus rebels will be ready to move out. That is the time when they are most alert. After nightfall, it will be too dark. What are the White Lotus rebels doing at this time?"

Wang Yaozu was silent for a moment, then replied, "All the men in the city were killed, and the women were dragged into the military camp. The screams could be heard from two or three miles away, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol."

Wang Daniu said angrily: "These damn beasts, kill them all!"

Li Hu was silent for a moment, then said, "Notify the commanders and deputy commanders of each battalion immediately. Once the sun sets, we will launch an all-out attack to wipe out the White Lotus rebels in one fell swoop!"

Wang Yaozu responded loudly: "Yes!"

"We don't want to take any prisoners in this battle," Li Hu added.

The light in the tent had dimmed.

The cups and plates were in a mess.

Sun Shaozu, whose face was already flushed, drank another large glass of wine in one gulp, then burped and looked at Yang Qilong with hazy eyes: "Don't worry, I promise to train you an elite new army. What the hell are the Ruishi Battalion and the Five Army Battalion? They are all bullshit~"

Yang Qilong smiled and filled his glass with wine, saying, "Then we have to rely on General Sun."

Sun Shaozu patted his chest and said, "It's no big deal, leave it to me!" Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"General Sun is a big shot!" Yang Qilong cheered.

Sun Shaozu became even more excited: "This is just the beginning, I can drink another jar of this kind of wine!"

Yang Qilong smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of wine today. General Sun can drink as much as he wants."

Sun Shaozu waved his hand: "Don't drink anymore. If you drink any more, you won't be happy tonight."

Yang Qilong was stunned at first, then he laughed, but a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Sun Shaozu: "I heard that Miss Guan is so tender that you can squeeze out water. Next time, I must taste Miss Guan. It's worth it even if I die!"

After hearing this, Yang Qilong was speechless and could only smile awkwardly.

Sun Shaozu stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I won't delay Manager Yang from going back to have fun." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the back tent, unbuttoning his clothes while smiling, "My dear little darling, here I come."

Yang Qilong finally saw through Sun Shaozu's true face. Although he despised his character, he felt relieved. Such a scumbag was easy to control!
Listening to the crying and shouting coming from the back tent, Yang Qilong shook his head, stood up and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the big tent, Yang Qilong wrinkled his nose. The strong smell of alcohol was extremely pungent, and the screams
Yang Qilong sighed, looked at the sun that was about to set, turned and walked towards Shui Rong's tent.

The situation near the central military tent was better, which made Yang Qilong look better.

He walked to the curtain and stopped. Yang Qilong said, "Young Master."

"Come in." Shui Rong's voice came out.

Yang Qilong lifted a corner of the curtain and went in.

Shui Rong was sitting at the desk, looking down at the account book.

Yang Qilong walked up to clean up the things on the desk, and whispered, "It's too messy, should we tidy it up?"

Shui Rong flipped through the account book: "It's not dark yet, maybe after the first watch. The spies just reported that the government troops are still north of Yunmeng. There is no moon in the first half of the night these days, so they can only camp for the night. Don't worry." At this point, he suddenly remembered: "What did Sun Shaozu say?"

Yang Qilong sneered: "He is just a sex-hungry ghost. When he saw those beautiful women, he immediately became soft-hearted. After two glasses of wine, he signed reluctantly." As he said that, he took out a piece of ink paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shui Rong.

Shui Rong took the ink paper, looked at it, and put it in the account book. He said to Yang Qilong, "This amount of food is enough to support us to Huangzhou Prefecture."

Yang Qilong was about to say something when he was suddenly shocked!
Shui Rong also stood up suddenly.

The two rushed out almost at the same time.

The sound of warning bells rang out amid the howling north wind!
Shui Rong's expression suddenly changed.

Yang Qilong: "It came from the rear camp."

Shui Rong was puzzled: "The rear camp? Li Hu is still in the north, where did the government troops in the south come from? Could it be the government troops from Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Before he finished speaking, a warning bell rang from the north!

The water is covered!
Yang Qilong was also stunned!
At this moment, the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves came from the rear camp!

Cavalry? Yang Qilong understood and shouted: "We have been deceived! We have been deceived!"

Shui Rong also reacted. While cursing Li Hu for being shameless, he ordered the guards to ring the warning bell, assemble the army, and fight back!

The shrill sound of bells resounded throughout the entire central army camp. After a long while, some ragged White Lotus followers came over with unsteady steps, shouting and searching, and formed a scattered queue in front of the central army tent.

Shui Rong's face suddenly turned pale, and the crying and shouting could be clearly heard in the front and rear camps.

Yang Qilong sighed, realizing that the situation was hopeless. He winked at the guards around him and carried Shui Rong towards the cavalry.

At this time, the half-drunk White Lotus sect members came out of the tents in dishevel, and many of them didn't even have weapons.

The earth-shaking sound of horse hooves rang out, and the Hetao cavalry rushed into the crowd like a tiger descending from the mountain, slashing with sabers, charging and trampling on the drunken White Lotus followers, leaving corpses all over the ground and blood flowing like a river. Most of the White Lotus followers who had sobered up rushed to escape, pushing and trampling on each other, and screams, cries, and wails resounded throughout the camp!

The Hetao cavalry charged forward, and the chance to escape came. The White Lotus Sect members who had luckily escaped began to flee to the rear camp.

The leader of the White Tiger Hall, Bai Wu, led his Sword and Shield Battalion to attack. He shouted, "Kill!" and chopped the head of a White Lotus disciple who was fleeing towards him in half with one sword. He then used his shield to knock another White Lotus disciple back, knocking down a group of people.

No prisoners would be taken in this battle, which made all the soldiers very excited. They could finally destroy these beasts!

They were like wolves entering a sheepfold, slaughtering these White Lotus rebels who had lost their fighting power. The White Tiger Hall Master roared. He had never killed people so happily as he did today. With a flash of his knife, a head flew out. He swung his knife again and cut a man in half. In an instant, he cut a bloody path through the crowd.
They were surrounded on all sides, and everywhere were groups of White Lotus rebels being killed and driven away. What awaited them was only ruthless killing. Kneeling and begging for mercy was useless, as their heads were mercilessly chopped off one by one by the angry soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion. (End of this chapter)
