Deputy General Zhong said, "General, this letter came at the right time."
If he didn't know for certain that they hadn't been able to contact the outside world since half a month ago, Deputy General Zhong would have thought that this was arranged by Qi Haoran to increase the success of their operation at night.
Qi Haoran understood what Deputy General Zhong meant. The arrival of this letter was undoubtedly the best reason for him to do so. For the sake of his wife and child and to survive, it was not unbelievable for him to make a deal with the bandits.
Qi Haoran said, "Call a smart kid to send the letter down and ask our men to rest while there's still time. When I go down the mountain, the entire camp has to be on guard. If I don't return, it's up to you guys to surrender or escape. Anyway, they're not Tartars. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you have to beg for mercy in order to survive."
Deputy General Zhong lowered his head and left.
