Elder Wuhen did track Fengchen, but unfortunately in the end Fengchen didn't know what secret method he used, and he suddenly flew away without leaving any trace.
Jiang Fan was very surprised. He was able to escape the pursuit of the world's best assassin in the past, but he was still seriously injured. Fengchen's ability was a bit unexpected.
"I actually lost him..." On a certain path, only the old handsome guy and Jiang Fan were walking side by side. The old handsome guy spread his hands and looked at Jiang Fan: "Where do you think he can go?"
Jiang Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly. The world is too big, and there are too many places where Fengchen may go. If nothing else, there are probably countless hidden stakes of Xingluo Guards in southern Shanxi. It is impossible to find anyone hiding there.
Only Jiang Fan found it a bit unbelievable. Feng Chen fled very decisively this time. Could it be that Feng Xiaoniao has learned to be smart after repeated setbacks?
But according to his personality, he shouldn't be able to bear this tone.
"Where are we going next?" the old handsome guy asked.
Jiang Fan thought for a long time: "I'm afraid that Fengchen will really shrink, but I feel that Jiangshan is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change. With his pride, he will never let it go. If we can't find him..."
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes: "Then the old way is to let him come to us."
The old handsome guy chuckled: "After suffering such a big loss, I'm afraid he won't be able to organize his strength so quickly."
"Don't underestimate the Feng family. They have been in business for thousands of years, and there are hidden stars everywhere. It is not difficult to regain their strength in a short time."
"So there's a chance he could come back?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "That depends on whether he has changed his gender. If not, he will not let me go no matter how serious the injury is."
The old handsome guy said: "So, how do you plan to lure him out?"
Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "Actually, this trip to Jing'an was not part of the plan..."
The old handsome guy was stunned for a moment: "Is such a big battle just a temporary move?"
"You can say that, but I really didn't expect it and almost succeeded."
The old handsome guy said: "It's not bad. He defeated hundreds of masters and severely injured this person. It's a considerable gain."
Jiang Fan sighed: "I was too hasty. I made a mistake. I didn't think carefully enough. The Feng family has such a profound heritage. How could Feng Chen not have a secret treasure on his body? This time, although the harvest was quite fruitful, it also served as a warning... "
The old handsome guy made a sound and said nonchalantly: "There is no perfect plan in this world, so how can you always win without losing? Don't be too demanding, kid."
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "That's right. What you said makes sense. In the worst case, if our plan fails, we will try another one."
The old handsome guy said: "You can't count on another plan, let's talk about your original plan."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's go see Mr. Sun and the others first. We don't know how our Borderless Medical Rescue Team is doing."
The old handsome guy laughed loudly: "I just like your calm and gentle appearance. You have the demeanor of my handsome young man. Are you going?"
"Let's go." Jiang Fan snapped his fingers, and the two of them jumped onto the dark clouds and headed towards Lingzhou.
The old guy and the others landed in Lingzhou, and their first stop was to go to Luling City, where the battle was the worst. It's a pity that Yinghu didn't welcome Jiang Fan and the others after all, so he closed the city gate on the pretext that Lu Ling was fighting Fang Ai and was in the process of reorganization.
It is inevitable that this is an important town on the south bank of Longjiang River, and Yinghu is cautious and there is nothing anyone can do.
The old guy didn't act tough. He walked westward along the south bank and passed two other cities, all of which were also blocked by Yinghu. Obviously, he had received an order and had no intention of letting them in. And because these cities are close to the river, Yinghu is almost surrounded by solid walls and clear fields, and not many people can even be seen outside the city.
The old guy was originally furious, but after Jiang Fan's persuasion, he finally managed to endure it and led the team to the Yancheng area, another hardest-hit area in the west of Lingzhou.
By this time, Jiang Fan had already left, and he didn't know if they had suffered the same treatment in Yancheng.
Along the way, I found many refugees and learned the latest war situation from their mouths.
Although Sima Jing made little progress in Minzhou, there were great changes in the war between Tongzhou and Lingzhou.
Yinglu completely occupied Tongzhou and Lingzhou, and had already grabbed a lot of warships. Now a large number of Chu warships were transported through the Xiangshui River and Zhangshui River, and they gathered at Lanting Lake, Poyun Lake and Taiping Lake, and at the same time forced Countless merchant ships were mobilized and converted into warships on the three major lakes, which greatly enhanced the Chu army's naval strength.
As a result, Yinglu's offensive intensified, and even broke through the blockade along the river for a time. Although it was never really defeated, it caused a huge blow to the Jin Navy.
This is not because the old commander Yang Wudi is incompetent, but the fundamental reason lies in the Jin State's war mobilization ability itself.
The slow mobilization, coupled with the plundering of the original navy camp on the south coast, made the Jin warships very tight for a while. As the Chu army continued to increase troops and ships, it became even more stretched.
And Yinglu adopted a very stupid tactic, starting from three crossing points separately, sometimes attacking at the same time, sometimes cooperating with feint attacks, which greatly interfered with and stretched the Jin army's defense line, causing the Jin army, which was already under-strength, to be exhausted, fighting back and forth to put out fires. .
Even if Yang Wudi is good at using troops, he will still resist difficulties despite his absolute strength. If the country does not get on the right track of war deployment as soon as possible, it will only be a matter of time before it cannot hold out.
At this time, Jiang Fan also discovered something. Yinglu seemed to be slacking off during the previous period, but in fact he was waiting for support.
Once combat preparations were in place, Yinglu began to show his fangs.
This was Yang Wudi, and anyone else would have been unable to defend him.
And Yang Wudi also gradually began to change his tactics, replacing defense with offense, and concentrated his superior forces to attack the weak links of the Chu army. This also caused a lot of trouble for Yinglu. Although he was at a disadvantage for a while, he could still say that there was progress.
In fact, both sides were very anxious about the situation at hand. Yinglu was afraid that the Jin navy would complete its assembly, because after all, the Chu army was fighting from a distance. The Jin Kingdom has the strongest navy. After completing the assembly, it is likely that the offensive and defensive positions will change in an instant.
Yang Wudi was worried that Yinglu would use his temporary strength advantage to break through Jiangbei during this period. Once he found a foothold and the army landed, the battle would be too difficult to fight.
This information was slowly summarized by Jiang Fan after listening to many rumors, but he had no idea how much of the game was behind the real swords and guns between the two parties. However, Jiang Fan understood that perhaps a certain kind of game behind the scenes could affect the direction of the entire war.
On the way to Lingzhou, more and more refugees arrived. It's not that Yinglu was not blocked like other important cities. In the final analysis, this situation was related to Zhang De, the Jin army commander before Yang Wudi.
Lingzhou was the last place he occupied. At that time, he expected to hold on for a long time. In order to save food and grass, he adopted a disgusting strategy and actually drove out all the old, young, women and children in several cities, including Yancheng. Only the young and strong were left to help defend the city.
