Chapter 129: First Wave Of Refugees
Clasping his fists, Fan Wanming said, "This subordinate accepts the order."
Feng Xiyan then added, "Let’s go back and finish dinner. General Fan, please join us."
"Alright."
With that, Feng Xiyan and the generals returned to the dining area.
After dinner, Fan Wanming arranged for the elite soldiers to guard the secret passage, while Tan Pengtai ordered his subordinates to smear oil on the walls and scatter the bituminous coal.
The next morning, as the sky began to change color, Xue Ruhong stood on top of the east wall of Xiqiang City.
Looking at the long lines of refugees approaching the city from afar, he called over a soldier and ordered, "Go and report to the Great General that a large group of refugees is approaching. Ask for his instructions on what to do next."
The soldier clasped his fists and responded, "Yes, General Xue."
While that soldier went to report the news to Feng Xiyan, Xue Ruhong turned to another and said, "Go and inform General Tan that the first wave of refugees will arrive in a quarter of a sichen. Ask him to make preparations to welcome the refugees."
"Yes, General Xue."
After giving his orders, Xue Ruhong said, "Everyone, stay alert. If you find any suspicious individuals among the refugees, detain them and send them to General Fan for investigation."
