Chapter 1718: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1718: Our Forces
Meng Yunzheng began to outline the plan, "Based on our analysis, Chenggu County has around six hundred soldiers. With our current manpower, it's still too few. So, we'll need the assistance of Lord Yang and the others."
Yang Lao Ye responded, "Go ahead."
Meng Yunzheng continued, "I know that everyone's households have guards. Among them, gather those who are capable. They will be our main force against them. We have twenty-eight households. Although our manpower is limited, we possess weapons, and currently, we're hidden while they're out in the open. The situation is favorable for us."
He Er interjected, "It's not just twenty-eight households. Several young masters and ladies from a few households that were captured earlier were killed by the Black Market. These households were relatively well-off, or else they wouldn't have dared to offend Magistrate Cheng. If we tell the truth to those who remain, they will certainly seek revenge for their family members."
He Gongzi nodded, saying, "Exactly, and there are our relatives. My maternal family runs a martial arts school. Though I don't know if they suffered on that night, they all possess remarkable skills and are loyal and righteous. They will definitely assist us."
Yang Lao Ye also pondered and asked Meng Yunzheng, "When you mentioned around six hundred soldiers in Chenggu County, does that include the men under the three patrol inspectors?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded. Yang Lao Ye then said, "Then it's likely not six hundred."
"Why do you say that?"
"Among the three patrol inspectors, one of them is my nephew-in-law. I understand his character well; he wouldn't do such a rebellious thing. On that day when the rebels invaded my home, he happened to be visiting me for a drink and mentioned that something was amiss in the county's atmosphere lately. As a patrol inspector, he might be more sensitive to certain anomalies, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Now that we know Magistrate Cheng isn't a good person, his words match up. When the rebels broke in, my nephew-in-law got injured while trying to save me. If he's still alive and in charge of his group of over a hundred men, he'll definitely stand with us."
Shu Yu asked him, "What's your nephew-in-law's name, and which area does he oversee?"
"He's named Yin Qiu, and he's in charge of the northern part of the city."
North of the city...
The mansion where they entered the secret passage was in the south, in a completely different direction from the north. Even if Yin Qiu's men were patrolling nearby, they wouldn't find this mansion where they were hiding their family.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu exchanged a glance. Of course, they hoped Yin Qiu was still alive.
"In that case, our manpower has increased."
He Er nodded repeatedly. "So, the situation is still quite favorable for us, right?"
"Yes, since Yin Inspector's situation is unclear, we'll remain uncertain. Now, everyone's main task is to gather reinforcements when we return. Once we've assembled everyone, our first priority will be to take control of three places: the county office and two city gates. Once we control these three places, the rest will be easier."
Meng Yunzheng quickly explained the detailed plan, making sure each person was allocated their responsibilities. The group suddenly started feeling nervous.
After all, this was going to be a battle. If they won, they would earn great merits.
"It's early morning now. Let's gather our weapons and each person should bring more than one. If it can be carried, bring it."
"Alright, let's move."
Yang Lao Ye immediately led his people to retrieve the weapons.
