This night was exceptionally long.

Jiyuan City, Lord’s Manor.

Ouyang Shuo's letter had reached Baiqi's table in less than two hours.

Baiqi opened it. After he read the letter, he muttered, “Han Xin? That's interesting."

"Men!"

"Present!"

"Raise the tent for the meeting!"

"Yes, general!"

The guard took this matter really seriously and immediately informed the other generals. Although it was late at night, no one would grumble about raising the tents for a meeting.

Military matters were really urgent, so being woken up in the middle of the night was normal.

In less than fifteen minutes, Zhang Han, Er'Lai, Zhang Liao, Qinqiong, Wang He,Lin Yi, and the rest all gathered in the meeting hall.

These generals all knew the way that Baiqi handled things, so they did not dare to tarry. As for the generals of the other lords, they all came late, which displeased Baiqi.

"Tomorrow, which of you dare to accept the battle against Xiang Yu?"

The moment his words sounded out, the generals were shocked and could not react. Didn't the commander not agree to go one-versus-one against Xiang Yu? Why did his attitude change?

Baiqi sat expressionlessly behind his table.

"Commander, I'm willing!"

Er'Lai was the first to step out. He was not one to care about the reasoning behind matters. In these few days, Xiang Yu’s provocations had infuriated Er'Lai.

"Great!"

Baiqi nodded, as expected from a general under him.

"Who else?"

"I'm willing!"

Zhang Liao, Qinqiong, Wang He, and a few others were all raring to go.

These few generals had all been holding in their anger.

"Great!" Baiqi raised his head and looked around, "Tomorrow morning, General Er'Lai, General Zhang Liao, General Qinqiong, and General Wang He will face off against Xiang Yu."

"Yes, commander!"

The generals that were named were unanimously delighted. Those that were not, like Lin Yi, felt dejected and disappointed.

When all the generals left, Baiqi called Lin Yi to discuss some matters.

After a while, Lin Yi finally left the tent.

Making use of the night, the Guards Division sneakily exited the city and disappeared into the darkness. Thanks to their unique special forces training, they were confident about traveling at night.

Night, Anyang City.

Apart from sending Baiqi a letter, Ouyang Shuo did not sit just still and do nothing.

Before the war ended, Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang moved the civilians to clean up the battlefield. They removed the corpses on the city wall to create space for the soldiers.

Most importantly, they retrieved the stone pieces and rolling wood they had thrown out. They moved these items back onto the city wall.

They had no choice; their resources were scarce, so this was the only way.
