Chapter 010: Bestow upon you a skill, to capture the enemy general alive

Seeing that the two remained silent for a long time, Su Jie naturally understood that they were more in disbelief.

Although Wang Jian was not as distracted as Wang Ben, he also hoped that this matter was true

Brother, can we really capture the prison tomorrow

The two became increasingly alarmed as they listened, yet they did not inquire further about how Su Jie was able to make such an accurate judgment that Sima Jie would leave this place.

What?

The day before, Su Jie discerned that the Lu Shui attack took thirty seconds, and at this moment, there were still thirty seconds remaining for use.

In less than half an hour, the father and son found parchment and ink pens. At this time, most of the documents of the Qin army were written on bamboo slips, and very few used parchment.

Su Jie instructed the two individuals on the matters at hand, and only after confirming that they were fully aware did he feel at ease

Such great merit, I naturally desire it, but it is just a bit... too mysterious

At this moment, Wang Jian decisively said: "General Su Bai, how shall we proceed tomorrow? My father and I are at your disposal!"

The general said, "I, as a subordinate, only wish to achieve merit to atone for my mistakes. I do not doubt Su Jie’s strategy; I am merely concerned that if we fail to seize the opportunity to steal the arrows tomorrow, we may miss the best chance to attack the city."

After receiving Su Jie’s orders, the two individuals left the tent in search of the items they needed

Elder brother, this is the map of Shangdang County

In Su Jie’s eyes, he has crossed the endless river of time and space

Su Jie smiled and said: "Of course, not only that, but I also have a tremendous achievement to offer you! Sima Jie, the commander of the Zhao army in the Shangdang Commandery, is the nephew of the great general Sima Shang of the Zhao state. Tomorrow, you only need to follow my instructions, and you will be able to personally capture him alive. Capturing an enemy general alive, is this not a great merit?"

Wang He let out a cold snort: "Could it be that General Gao has another brilliant strategy for defeating the enemy? The defenders of Lushui should be the hundred generals under your command. Now, the battle of Lushui nearly resulted in the complete annihilation of our forces. The peril of this battle relied solely on Su Jie. General Gao, are you aware of your negligence and the sin it entails"

Su Jie and the other two bid farewell to General Wang He and the other commanders, and then returned to General Wang Jian's tent

Time Insight, open for me! Su Jie silently recited in his heart

At this moment, Gao Hu suddenly stepped forward and said: "General, although Su Jie has Zhu Yu in front of him, according to his plan for tomorrow, it is merely to use straw men to steal arrows. I believe that the Zhao army would never be so foolish. Although Su Jie is intelligent, he cannot be completely trusted. Matters of military operations are not child's play."

Inform the generals for me, after the hour of Zi tonight, assemble the entire army

At this moment, Su Jie’s eyes suddenly became incomparably dark and profound, as if he had crossed an endless spiral of time and space, with stars swirling within his pupils

Su Jie slightly nodded and then placed the blank parchment map on the table

After Wang He finished speaking, he issued an order to retreat and instructed the preparation of the items needed for Su Jie

... ...

Not long after, the entire map of Shangdang County City was astonishingly detailed on the parchment, far surpassing the large strategic map of the central army camp

Wang He said: "This matter has already been decided by me, and it cannot be reversed. Moreover, if tomorrow's plan succeeds, do you know that my army can capture Pilao without expending any effort? Such a good strategy can protect the lives of my soldiers; how could I not try it?"

And began to draw on the parchment with a brush pen

Wei Jing nodded, finding Wang Hezhi's words to be different from his own thoughts

Upon entering the camp, Wang Ben could not help but be the first to ask.

Such a great achievement, both of them naturally desire it. Capturing the enemy's commander alive could elevate their ranks by three levels. It is important to note that starting from the fifth level of military merit, the ranking is no longer calculated on a per capita basis

Su Jiedao: "After dawn tomorrow, our army will launch a general offensive. You two must enter from here and bypass this area... ... lying in ambush here... ... wait for two hours, Sima Jie will escape from this place, and at that time, we can catch him alive by waiting for the right moment."

Incredible, so clear and detailed! Wang Jian exclaimed first, just as he was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Su Jie

Su Jie nodded and said, "Alright, bring me the sheepskin map and the ink brush!" Su Jie instructed directly

Wei Jing and the other generals turned their gaze towards Gao Hu, and could not help but think: "This person is indeed so foolish!"

Wang He fell silent for a moment and said: "Su Jie acts with restraint and is not an ordinary person. He is capable of considering the life and death of our soldiers, thus it is clear that this individual will not act recklessly. I believe he can be trusted!"

Gao Hu never expected that the generals would suddenly take action at this moment. He advocated seizing the opportunity while the morale of Zhao's army was uncertain, to launch a full-scale assault on the city. Although there would be losses, it was still a foolproof strategy.

Wei Jing: "Generals and commanders, how should the words of Su Baijiang be evaluated by the generals and commanders"

This ... ... ?

After the three men left, Wang He turned his gaze towards the various generals and colonels on his left and right

Oh! Indeed, Sima Jie, you have nowhere to escape!

Su Jie and the other two traveled in silence, heading straight for the military camp where Wang Jian was stationed
