“Teacher, since you don’t like to ask for help, why don’t you hold the power yourself?
“As long as the power in your hands is strong enough, why do you still need to ask for help from others?” She would not even need to ask the Second Prince for help.
Chu Jin’s words came from the bottom of his heart.
It wasn’t just to help the Second Prince win over Qin Xiaoyao. It was also a sincere suggestion to a friend in need.
In his heart, he felt that Qin Xiaoyao was born to be on the battlefield. She was supposed to shine and achieve great things.
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned. She lowered her head and didn’t reply.
“Let’s take Master Song’s matter as an example,” Chu Jin continued.
“If you have a military rank, would the officials from the government office dare to capture Master Song?”
Qin Xiaoyao still didn’t reply.
“Also, regarding the matter of Xiao Tu.
“If Teacher is a general in our army, you will hold a high position. Even if Xiao Yuan really wants to settle scores with Teacher for Xiao Tu’s matter, who in the Jin State’s Imperial Court will have the guts to suggest using you to appease Xiao Yuan’s anger?
“I’m afraid that not only will no one dare to give such advice, but everyone will praise Teacher’s bravery. They will view your killing of Xiao Yuan’s grandson as having raised the prestige of our Great Jin State.”
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.
“It’s not too late if you change your mind now, Teacher…” Chu Jin was already looking at Qin Xiaoyao. His eyes were earnest and filled with anticipation.
A battle general who had won every battle, as opposed to a mere commoner, had a completely different meaning to the Second Prince and the Imperial Court.
If she wanted to, she could become a battle general without any problem at all. And he would definitely lend her a hand.
Qin Xiaoyao was touched.
After a long while, she finally raised her head and looked into Chu Jin’s eyes.
When she saw the sincerity in Chu Jin’s eyes, Qin Xiaoyao finally nodded.
“Alright.”
Chu Jin’s eyes lit up at once when he heard this.
He quickly poured a cup of wine for himself and Qin Xiaoyao.
“Drink up!” he said excitedly.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth curled up. “Sure!” she responded.
Then, the two of them drank to their heart’s content until they finished the remaining three jars of wine on the table.
After that, the two of them went to the town gate tower in the south of the town.
“Right now, there are still 4000 Liao soldiers out there. Teacher, since you want to establish a career here, do you have a good plan to force the enemy back?” Chu Jin pointed in the direction of the Liao army’s campsite outside the town and asked Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao looked in the direction of Chu Jin’s finger.
She kept quiet for a moment.
“Colonel Chu, do you think the Liao army will attack the town tonight?” she immediately asked.
Chu Jin smiled.
“I’m not sure. However, I do hope that they will attack.”
After all, he had made ample preparations over the past two days.
Even if the Liao troops outnumbered his army, he still had defensive weapons.
In addition, the entire army was united. With Teacher Qin and the Special Forces Team members, the probability of the Liao army taking down the town gate tower was not high.
On the contrary, they could take the opportunity to destroy many Liao soldiers.
Qin Xiaoyao turned her head to look at Chu Jin. “You’re very confident, aren’t you?” she asked with a smile.
Chu Jin smiled and nodded.
“Although the other party has many troops, they are not united. We’re well prepared, so we’re not afraid.”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded with a smile.
“That’s true.”
After pondering for a while, she added, “Since that’s the case, why don’t we force them to attack the town? What do you think?”
“Teacher, you have a good plan?” Chu Jin’s eyes lit up.
Qin Xiaoyao simply smiled.
“It can’t be considered a good plan. Why don’t I tell you and you hear me out first?”
“I’d be delighted to hear more!” Chu Jin’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
“If they don’t attack, I’ll bring the Special Forces Team members out.
“We’ll kill a few hundred troops, then pretend to be injured and run towards the town gate to lure them to pursue us.
“In order to capture or get rid of Xiao Tu’s murderer, which is me, the other party will most likely pursue us and then seize the opportunity to attack the town.
“At that point, the rest will be up to you.”
Chu Jin nodded after listening. He felt that the plan was highly feasible.
“In addition, after we enter the town, we will immediately rush to the North Town Gate. Then, I will lead the Special Forces Team and the North Town soldiers out of the town from the North Town Gate and go around to the back of the Liao army’s campsite in the south of the town. We’ll catch them off guard and launch a massacre.”
If the Liao army attacked the town, in order to ensure success, they would probably deploy a large portion of their forces up front.
As long as the number of Liao soldiers left in the rear was less than 1500, she was confident that she could wipe out all of the Liao soldiers in the enemy camp when the other party was caught off guard.
Chu Jin’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He exclaimed excitedly, “What a brilliant plan! Teacher, you are indeed a genius!”
Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up.
“We need to work together in this battle. You have to guard the town gate well. Otherwise, everything will be for naught.” If they lost Yellow Flower Town, even if they destroyed the Liao army’s campsite, it was still a defeat for them.
Chu Jin nodded.
“Don’t worry. We’ll defend to the death!” he said in a deep voice.
A hint of slyness flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.
“Then, shall we try?” she asked with a smile.
“Haha! Sure! Let’s give it a try!” Chu Jin replied with a laugh.
Thus, Qin Xiaoyao quickly sent someone to pass on her order.
The Special Forces Team members quickly gathered at the South Town Gate.
After listening to the instructions of Qin Xiaoyao’s mission, they followed her out of the town.
After suffering severe losses from the previous attacks by the Special Forces Team, the Liao army’s security outside the south of the town was much stricter than before.
Even so, many of the sentries on the periphery were still silently killed by the Special Forces Team members.
In less time than it took to drink a cup of tea, the Special Forces Team’s presence was discovered and the two sides began to fight fiercely.
Qin Xiaoyao maintained an exceptionally high-profile. She kept clamoring that she would kill the new Liao army’s great general just like she killed Xiao Tu.
The members of the Special Forces Team all echoed her loud taunts. They were like wolves surrounding their alpha wolf leader, clamoring and slaying madly at the same time.
The Liao army put up a strong resistance.
Even though the great general didn’t show himself, a large number of Liao soldiers rushed out to fight with the Special Forces Team.
Furthermore, the Liao soldiers that came were very disciplined. There were not only infantrymen but also cavalries and archers.
The other party was clearly prepared.
Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t surprised by this. She continued to lead the Special Forces Team to fight for a while, then deliberately pretended to be weak and feigned injury.
Following that, she ordered her team to retreat.
When the team retreated, they even intentionally got injured twice.
At the same time, Qin Xiaoyao made sure the Special Forces Team members deliberately retreated slowly, giving the impression that their adversaries could easily catch up to them at any time.
Sure enough, the Liao soldiers pursued them all the way to the South Town Gate.
“Quick! Open the town gate!” Qin Xiaoyao anxiously shouted to the top of the town wall, making herself out to be very pathetic and in a sorry state.
The town gate was quickly opened, allowing Qin Xiaoyao and her team to enter the town.
The Liao soldiers who were pursuing the Special Forces Team also arrived soon after.
When the soldiers on the town gate tower saw that the Liao soldiers had come within their attack range, the archers immediately started shooting.
Many of the Liao soldiers at the forefront were shot, and they stopped their advance.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao had already climbed up the South Town’s gate tower and looked down at the Liao army that was pursuing her.
In particular, one of the leaders of the Liao army caught her attention.
Earlier on, this guy was chasing her the most vehemently, clamoring to capture her alive.
“Hmph! If you have the guts, then attack the town and come in to capture me, Xiao Tu’s murderer. After that, you can go to Xiao Yuan to claim your reward!” Qin Xiaoyao taunted him.
The eyes of that Liao army’s leader turned icy and menacing.
“You just wait!” he said through gritted teeth.
“Haha! Great! I’ll be waiting here! You’re a son of a bitch if you don’t come!” Qin Xiaoyao burst out laughing..
