Back in the ranks, the soldiers all inquired about the situation ahead, and Qin Yuan detailed the report of their search to them.
"Our top priority right now is to find Captain Geng Hu's whereabouts!"
The soldiers agreed unanimously.
"Yes, this indeed is our primary mission right now," Qin Yuan said, "I'm here to discuss with you how to allocate our forces."
Qin Yuan stated.
They indeed needed to send someone to search for Geng Hu, but the troops in the rear also needed guarding.
The best course of action was for Qin Yuan and He Chenguang to lead two separate groups each, one to stay put, ready to respond, while the other to advance and scout the enemy.
After all, since the enemy's position had not yet been confirmed, they couldn't afford to commit all their forces.
The enemy might well be watching their every move from somewhere in secret.
"He Chenguang, you guard the camp here. I'll take a small team to search for Geng Hu," Qin Yuan turned and said to He Chenguang.
