Chapter 1101 General Cao
Chapter 1101 General Cao
Si Kang was following Feng Ao Kuai while the other adjutant in the army was leading the soldiers to stay with Xiao Yan.
"Young Master, is it not better to let the commander be the one to deliver the message?" Si Kang asked in a low tone.
Feng Ao Kuai sneered. "For there to not be any reply, there are only two possibilities. Someone is intentionally preventing the letters to be reached to him or he is the one intentionally not sending anyone."
But of course, if there were really no one to be spared, the second reason could be half accepted. Though, Feng Ao Kuai actually doubted it.
If that was the case, General Cao would have responded to them.
Unless he was trying to kill the two of them.
When the thought crossed Feng Ao Kuai's mind, his eyes narrowed dangerously. If that was what truly happened, it would mean that Fei Yang Kingdom's military was actually still contaminated with either selfish people with personal benefits or spies from other kingdoms.
He had to make sure which one it was.
Si Kang stayed silent. He knew very well that the young master was a smart person, which was why he decided to stay silent and not try to interfere at all. He knew very well that no matter what decision Feng Ao Kuai came to, it was something that he had carefully thought.
And there were indeed some people who could be put into the list of suspicious people.
He just hoped that things wouldn't turn ugly.
The distance was actually one day's travel. But with Feng Ao Kuai pacing his horse as fast as possible without any break in between, they managed to reach the place right before it was dark.
"Who is it?"
"Second Young Commander Feng, Feng Ao Kuai is here to see General Cao! There's an important matter to report," Feng Ao Kuai replied loudly.
Behind him, Si Kang was actually worried. Feng Ao Kuai didn't stop for anything, not even eating. At most, Feng Ao Kuai only drank a bit on their journey to come here. It was as if there was nothing more important than reporting this matter to General Cao.
Only he knew that his Master was not the type of person who would actually care so much about that area.
He must have another reason.
A reason that one didn't know yet.
With Feng Ao Kuai's token, it was easy for him to be granted access into their headquarter. The soldier escorted him directly towards General Cao's tent.
"General Cao, Second Young Commander Feng is here to see you."
Second Young Commander Feng?
General Cao furrowed his eyebrows as it was an unfamiliar name for him. There were so many commanders under him that he couldn't remember all of them.
It was his adjutant who kindly reminded him, "General Cao, Second Young Commander Feng is General Feng's second son. He's also assigned under you and you have sent him to the most west border between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom."
"What is he doing here?" General Cao was dissatisfied. However, he waved his hand. "Let him in."
"Yes, General Cao."
The soldier moved aside and Feng Ao Kuai entered the tent. He could see the faint decoration inside along with the adjutant who was also inside. It seemed that they were still discussing some war matters.
If one had to say, General Cao has been an adjutant for more than a decade and never even once tried to become a general. He stayed within General Mu's army and built his own career here.
And when General Mu unable to go to the battlefield anymore, the one who replaced him was this man right here. Some people were dissatisfied with his promotion while the others felt that it was just right.
But despite their words, they couldn't refute the order from above.
This was what had caused things to turn this way.
"Second Young Commander Feng greets General Cao," Feng Ao Kuai greeted and knelt on the ground in accordance to the etiquette.
General Cao looked at the young man in front of him. He came from a small family, so he never experienced the treatment that these young masters from military family experienced. For so many years, he had to work hard in order to build his career from scratch without anyone helping him.
He could only rise when he was much older that this brat in front of him.
"Get up. What brings you here, Second Young Commander Feng?"
"Yes! Reporting to General Cao, there's an avalanche at the Thunder Valley and buried a lot of soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom's side because we're fighting in that area. Many of our soldiers are also injured and had to be treated immediately. We sent them to Han Yue's City in order to get treatment from doctors there," Feng Ao Kuai summarized everything swiftly.
Avalanche?
When General Cao heard that, he knew immediately why Feng Ao Kuai came to him. When a natural disaster occurred, it would definitely affect both sides and at that time, the situation would change.
Despite the person in front of him being a young commander, the number of soldiers under him was limited.
With many of them wounded, did he really expect them to stay there and wait for their death?
That was impossible.
"Tell Commander Xiong and Commander Pu to depart right away towards Thunder Valley. It's estimated that the other party will also make a move to take over the area after the incident. Remind them to be careful of it."
"Yes, General Cao."
matter, Second Young Commander Feng."
General Cao looked at Feng Ao Kuai. "I would need the detailed report of the casualties in this "Yes, General Cao. I'll prepare everything."
"How many enemies are left?"
"Reporting to General Cao, Zhang Xu Kingdom's soldiers gathered in Thunder Valley that day, which made many of them buried alive. If I had to estimate, there are around 10,000 soldiers who were buried including their commanders."
10,000?
