Peace Order

The clear paths are mend for traversing while the secret movements have deeper intentions.

Tantai Xianming, having been away for over a year, under the Prime Minister’s strategy had gradually become blunted, the python regained its original decisiveness and style, displaying a hint of aggressiveness in its maneuvers.

Still, he subconsciously had the wish to maintain a balance of power, and therefore did not send figures like Ye Buyi or the Junior Officers of Zhou Liuying, nor the seasoned generals like Lu Youxian.

Instead, he appointed Qi Junsong, who had recently gained merits at the border.

With Qi Junsong as Commander, Ye Buyi, and Zhou Liuying were merely logistic officers.

Qi Junsong was cautious; he followed the strategist’s advice. The troops did not all advance via the main road; instead, the logistics troops disguised as the main force, spread the flags in all directions, elongating the formation to mimic a large army moving slowly.

Secretly, a thousand elite soldiers took a minor mountain path, planning to emerge from a concealed position and surge into the Gongsun Family’s territory unexpectedly, causing significant pressure.

Being able to effortlessly control a thousand-man formation, splitting forces, feigning the rear as the main force, and then silencing the main troop precisely, Qi Junsong might not be a renowned general, but he certainly wasn’t a mere rice sack.

Following the strategist’s suggestion, he completed the deceptive maneuver of circling to the rear.

Qi Junsong relaxed inwardly, lightly lifting his whip, pointing towards the distant location of the Gongsun Family and laughed, "The Gongsun Family dominates the Martial World, haha, just martial folks, what strategies do they know?"
