Chapter 398: Smuggling into Town_1

The next day, Wang Dashan and his team finally returned.

But they brought back bad news. Daqian's troops had already conquered two towns and were coming towards them.

"There are about ten thousand of them, approximately five or six days' journey from us, but cavalry could reach us within two or three days." Wang Dashan took a sip of water and said, "It's strange that Daqian's army didn't travel to other places, but seems to be heading straight towards us."

Jiang Sanlang speculated, "They probably want to join forces with King Cheng's rebel army."

"What should we do?" Clan Leader Chen looked worried, "Our wheat hasn't been harvested yet."

Jiang Lao, drawing on his dry pipe, sighed faintly, "Perhaps they want our food."

With ten thousand people mobilizing, they would consume at least eight thousand pounds of food each day. Would they not snatch food from the common people along the way?

Maybe they even plan to conscript strong men to serve them.
