Chapter 9: Preparing For Zho Zhu
I was done with Zho Zhu ploys to slay me, so I decided to take the fight to him. I moved my forces to SuLu and take on this demon, on the week long journey. My power was being questioned by the enemy and by my own citizens, and I was ready to settle it out on the battlefield."Why must we take action so rashly," I was questioned by my soldiers and I replied "Because if we don't, Zho Zhu will most likely try to assassinate me once again. If they succeed this time all our hard work with be for nothing...I have no I heir". Like walk onto the battlefield and the stench of dry dirt and stone filled the air. I took a deep breathe and did a slight smirk. "I know that this is hard for my soldiers to take in...but it's what I think is right" I said to myself try to boost my confidence, when Vincent came up to me. "Pi, do you have a strategy?" He asked me as I turned around,"Yes, I've heard Jia Xi is guarding the west castle under Zho Zhu's order....I believe if we rush the east and the middle, I believe Zho Zhu will retreat to Jia Xi. But if we already be there Zho Zhu won't be able to retreat and he will be ours" I says facing him. Looking down at the ground I picked up some dry grass and watched it fly towards our main camp. "This base will be nearly empty,a mere decoy to the enemy while our main force heads to face Jia Xi. I also believe that they'll try to burn this grass to upset our moral but this will be clear and all they will burn is grass." I explained before unsheathing my sword. "I'll alert Rose, to ensure we'll get your plan in order... I'll take the middle with Xiang Cao, while Rose and Jang Wu takes the East side."He replied smiling and running off....
I looked up at the sky and watched the moon get full and the wind blow faster and harder. "Here lies at this very place the death of Zho Zhu, the pretender of Markeland" I walked towards the camp and grabbed my horse by the rope and guided him to the fortress. "Good boy....it's almost time for Zho Zhu to die, don't worry about a thing" I said petting him. The wind started to blow harder and I began to thought....something's not right, their must be some sort of magic in the area or a storms in the area. Being unaware of the enemies intention, I tied up my horse and headed to the cafeteria, and talked to the soldiers I saw walk by. Upon entering the room, my soldiers were conversating about battle at hand.I whistled and the room got quiet,"Listen Everyone...the grass is dry so I anticipate a fire attack on the dry grass to take out our food supply....so we'll be ahead and quickly take the south west fort and move our supplies there.....in order for us to let our own plan succeed is by letting their plan succeed. While the enemy takes out our empty false main camp with me in it...The southwest fort will be my target to go, I'll need Fu Wi,Wo Wei and Hang Xi units to guard me and seal of the path to the Southwest fort. In order to believe that we are pulling back after the Fire attack our east side will withdraw from the battle.... Our middle attack will weaken and withdraw for our counterattack....then I want west side to lure out Jia Xi and seal him off inside the fort. In there we slay him and cause confusion on the enemies side..... Once their forces come out the mountain to investigate our with drawn forces will appear there to ambush them and cause more confusion.". I glanced across the room and smell the freshly cooked bread by the baker.... "So everyone get your rest...as tomorrow night...we will kill Zho Zhu!" The soldiers erupted with cheers and laughters as I left the room. The wind was getting worse as I headed to my cabin to rest for the night.
