Inside the Central Army Tent, Xiao Yuansui sat there with a grim expression, listening to the messenger's report.
Actually, he almost wanted to stop listening halfway through, but he forced himself to endure, his hands pressing down on his knees, the bulging veins on the back of his hands indicating his near explosive mood.
It turns out, this was Yu Wenye's true intention.
Last night, all the elites at Hulao Pass were deployed, turning it into an "empty city", allowing his team to rescue Shi Yutao. But in reality, Yu Wenye used Shi Yutao to exchange for Shi Yuxin at Huilu Storehouse.
He had indeed been calculated, yet Yu Wenye calculated even more!
Although Shi Yutao was rescued, due to previous missteps in deployment, he was captured by the enemy alive. Such a person couldn't possibly be trusted to lead troops into battle in the short term — military morale is crucial, and with leaders like him, the soldiers would certainly be unsettled.
