Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 216

It"s efficient because of unity.

Less than two hours after An Zhe gave the order, all the people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect who had arranged for them to leave the city returned.

These big men had been quite nervous during this period, worried that An Zaihai wouldn"t be able to survive this ordeal.

Now that they had been called back, everyone was rushing back.

Lan Jing"s wounds had already recovered quite a bit. He rushed in together with his men, and when he saw An Zaihai, he opened his mouth wide in laughter, ""Sect leader, next time, you can"t let us leave.""

""We are a family. No matter what happens, we should fight together.""

The others chimed in, ""Sect leader, I know you are doing this for our own good.""

""But those who can share wealth and can"t share hardships are called brothers!""

Very quickly, the hundreds of men returned and gathered at the gates, all of them very excited.

Just as An Zhan was about to explain, he saw a man with a desolate expression slowly walking in with a small bag on his back.

This person raised his head and looked into the courtyard. He was stunned for a moment before striding towards An Zeng. ""Owner, what happened?""

It was Gu Zhaogong.

Seeing that he had returned, An Zaixin probably guessed the reason as well.

""Go back and rest first. Don"t think too much about it.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""To fail is to fail, what else can I think about.""

""Owner, what are you guys planning to do?""

An Zhan also did not want to hide anything from him, narrating the matter of the declaration of war to the Gao Family.

Gu Zhaoting put down the bag in his hands, he said, ""Owner, don"t be careless in this matter.""

At this time, the Gao Family would definitely fight back with all their might. They would not allow anyone to challenge the Gao Family"s position as the overlord of Fang Gu City"s martial arts world.

Even if the King of Yan gave the order, the Gao Family would still fight back with all their might.

If my guess is correct, they even dared to a.s.sa.s.sinate the King of Swallow!

""If those people can even do something like selling women and children, what else can"t they do?""

""I understand what you are saying. Is it not time for you to declare war on the Gao Family?""

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhaogong"s eyes gradually lit up. ""No!""

Opportunity and danger coexist at the same time. The more dangerous the situation, the greater the chances. ""

He asked An, ""Do you have a plan?""

""Call them one by one.""

Gu Zhaogong shook his head. ""This won"t do. We"ll just fight them one by one. If we can"t get to the third casino, the Gao Family will gather their forces and launch a counterattack.""

At that time, even if there are two times as many men as we have, we still won"t be able to stop them.

""So … they should be divided into two parts.""

An Xuan was stunned. Gu Zhaoge had just returned, so he didn"t fully understand the situation. How could his brain move so quickly?

Gu Zhaogong squatted on the ground and drew sketches of many streets with a small stone. ""A few days ago, the owner had let Xiao Qi familiarize herself with Fang Shoucheng"s surroundings. I had nothing better to do, so we walked around together.""

""Gao Family"s casino looks scattered, but there"s a certain pattern to its distribution.""

His hand moved quickly, and the map looked slightly sketchy, but it was clear.

His memory and composition were enough to make people think of him in a new light.

""You picked up another big treasure.""

An Zhe"s eyes were all on the sketches on the ground, and he began to admire Gu Zhaogong more and more.

He knew that Gu Zhaoge was strolling along the street with Xiao Qiandao, but he didn"t expect Gu Zhaoge to be so considerate.

What was recorded was not only the location of the Gao casino, but also the topography and architecture of the nearby casino.

The Gao Clan had at least three hundred casinos in Fang Gu City, but he had actually memorized them all.

After Gu Zhaoge finished drawing on the ground, he pointed to the most crowded casinos. ""The academy, the Grand Cauldron Academy, and the Taichi Temple. These famous academies and sects all have Gao Family casinos nearby, and more than one of them.""

""And the most concentrated ones are this …""

The imperial court pointed to a spot on the map. It was the western city.

He had heard of Fang Gu City being rich and influential even before this.

The people living in the west were all n.o.bles and officials, so the casinos in this area were especially crowded.

It was probably built to make it convenient for the n.o.bles to play with and wash away their money.

Gu Chao said in unison, ""To fight him in one breath, we don"t have enough strength to do so.""

So I think I should have a plan. I have an immature idea.

An Xuan said: ""Please speak, sir.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""Divide our people into two groups. One group has more momentum than the other.""

Divide two-thirds of the power of our sect.

As I see it … let Master Du and Lang Jing lead the group. According to what you said, we"ll start from the Gao Family casino that is closest to our Heavenly Awakening Sect.

However, he couldn"t just blindly start fighting. He had to wait … wait for the news to spread from the palace. If the Gao Family wanted to make a comeback, their only chance would be to a.s.sa.s.sinate the King.

Thus, the moment there was any news from the palace, it meant that all the experts of the Gao Family have gathered at Empyrean Terminus Palace. ""

His finger traced across the map. He spoke calmly and calmly, but his manner of speaking was extremely clear. ""Grandpa Du and Rangjing will bring two-thirds of their manpower. When there"s any news from the palace, they"ll start pushing it from here.""

He pointed to the nearest casino: ""Do not give the other side any time to react, be quick, be fierce, and be loud.""

I estimate that with the strength of the Gao Family, even if all the experts from the Gao Family have gone to Extreme Heaven Palace, there will still be plenty of people remaining to guard them.

""Thus, within about two hours, the Gao Family will organize their counterattack.""

He looked at Du: ""At this time, we have to hold on.""

""Master Du, take some people and hold on to one of the casinos. Don"t rush out, just hold on for as long as you can.""

He turned to look at An Ying, ""Owner, choose your elites and sneak into the western city.""

When Master Du begins to carry the Gao Family"s counterattack, you guys move.

Similarly, since he had already made his move, there was no need to be courteous. He was as fierce as he could be.

As long as he made a call in the West Side and captured a few casinos in a short period of time.

When those onlookers saw that our Heavenly Awakening Sect was so powerful and unscrupulous in their war against the Gao Clan, they could not sit still.

""This is just a chain reaction. With the might of our Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, would it be possible for us to exterminate the Gao Family?""

Skinny shook his head. ""Of course not.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""So, our goal isn"t to exterminate the Gao Family, but to drive other forces and rob as many territories as we can at the same time.""

""But you have to be aware that those who can get it are all from those around us, which is the territory that Grandpa Du"s people got.""

Skinny Dean was stunned for a moment: ""Aren"t we just pretending to attack?""

""An Zeng and his men are the main fighters.""

Gu Zhaogong smiled. ""In the military, there is no such thing as a feint.""

That"s right, I want the Gao Family to think that our target is the western side.

As long as Owner and the others act and s.n.a.t.c.h a few casinos before bringing the other forces together … the Gao Family members will immediately transfer all the remaining forces to the west city.

At that time, the western city would be the main battlefield.

But who were the people living in the western part of the city?

If you"re not rich, you"re rich.

""Those people won"t let the Heavenly Awakening Sect stand on their feet in the west, so their main attack seems to be a feint.""

An Xin nodded, ""Got it … There are too many rich and influential people in the west side. With our current strength, we can"t stand on our feet.""

Therefore, he just needed to drive those n.o.bles and officials to act against the Gao Family.

When the time comes, the western part of the city will be in chaos, and our target will still be the eastern part of the territory.

Since he is already relatively close to the Heavenly Awakening Sect, it is rather convenient to control him.

""Even if we do manage to take some territory from the West Side, we won"t be able to defend it at all, because we have a limited number of troops.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""Owner is right, this is what I"m going to say next … Owner will bring some of his elites to attack in the western city. It will definitely be a smooth start, and we can get some casinos as well.""

But these casinos are not going to stay. Instead of wasting troops, there could be a lot of casualties.

""I might as well give it away … This gift, requires a lot of knowledge.""

An Zaixin laughed, ""To put it bluntly, we need help.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""That"s right!""

After the owner had taken down some territory, it would depend on the situation.

If the other forces really do make a move, then the owner will choose the strongest clan or sect that can compete with the Gao Family and send out the territories that our Heavenly Awakening Sect has plundered from the West City.

At that time, as long as this power took over these territories, the Gao Family would be irreconcilable with them.

At that time, the owner will bring our men back from the west city and remove the Gao Family"s forces from Master Du"s side in one go.

At that time, most of the capital city of the Gao Family would belong to the owner. ""

Skinny Du couldn"t help but praise: ""You are really cunning.""

An Zeng rolled his eyes at Skinny Du. Skinny Du smiled embarra.s.sedly. ""Plotting a strategy … I guess that"s what you mean.""

Gu Zhaoming smiled embarra.s.sedly. ""Normally, what I like to read the most are military manuals and past battles. Although I was powerless, my biggest dream back then was to lead the mighty soldiers of Great Yan into my territory.""

""However, the great Yan has already withered to the point that it makes my heart turn cold. That ambition and ambition have long been lost.""

An Zaiyue bowed deeply, ""Mr. De, this is really my fortune.""

Gu Zhaogong hurriedly held onto the fight, ""Don"t say that, Owner. I don"t know where I"ll end up without Owner Gu.""

Perhaps the final result would be nothing more than a white bone on a gra.s.sy slope outside the city.

""I can share some of it with the Owner, so my heart is at ease.""

""Then do as Mr. Gu says, and don"t waste any more time.""

Gu Zhaoming pointed to the sketch drawn on the ground. ""I"m here.""

That place was the Martial Arts Academy.

Gu Chao said in unison, ""This is the center of the two battlefields. I"m here, so I"d like to ask the host to arrange for me to enter the Martial Arts Academy"s gatehouse.""

We can look at the situation there. We"ll take the flag as the signal.

If the gatehouse was always marked with red flags, then the proprietor and Lord Du would only attack with all their might.

""If there is a blue flag on the top of the gate, then the owner will retreat. If there is a black flag, then Grandpa Du will immediately lead his men and retreat.""

An Xuan said, ""Everything will be done according to Teacher"s instructions.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""There was actually no need to fight this battle.""

Even if he won, there would be endless trouble in the future.

It is impossible for the Gao Family members to be exterminated in one fell swoop. Even if there are only a handful of people left, they pose a great threat to the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

However, if he looked ahead and behind, he would definitely be unable to accomplish anything.

The crux of the matter today is actually not in our sect, nor is it in the other clans, but in Heavenly Temple.

As long as the Swallow King did not die, the Gao Family would be destroyed.

Actually, the Gao Clan was on the verge of annihilation, even if they had a.s.sa.s.sinated Duke Yan.

""The empress dowager won"t allow the Gao Family to continue existing. The empress dowager"s only using the Gao Family, so she doesn"t want the blame for killing the Duke of Yan fall on herself.""

He straightened his body and said, ""However, after today, there will be no one in the world that does not know the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect.""

As he said these words, this seemingly desolate scholar appeared to be in high spirits.
