Outside Qiandu City, in the Valley of the Moon.
Liu Feng looked at the soldiers who were camping on the spot, frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Father, since we have arrived, why doesn't Liu Jing come to greet us?"
"Instead, let us camp in such an inhospitable place!"
Although the name Wangyue Valley sounds nice, the environment is dirty, messy, and poor. For ordinary soldiers, it is still bearable.
But for someone like him, who had grown up pampered and pampered since childhood, it was not too bad.
It has even reached the point where it is completely unbearable.
When Liu Qing heard this, he glared at him coldly.
He said in a cold voice: "Be careful when going out."
"This is Qiandu City, not Xijiang."
"If you anger Liu Jing, even my father can't protect you!"
"Besides, if it weren't for those bad things you did, would my father have to go through this journey?"
Although Liu Feng is a playboy who does all kinds of evil, he is still a little frightened in front of Liu Qing.
Seeing his father getting angry at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit silent, and quickly changed the subject: "Then... we just wait here?"
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask too much!"
"When the time comes, we will naturally have a role to play!"
"In this battle between us and His Highness King Jing, we are like grasshoppers on a rope!" Liu Qing looked at the lush dense forest outside Wangyue Valley, his eyes were deep and hidden with murderous intent.
The next morning, the gully inside the gate of Qiandu City had already been filled.
A full 25,000 troops, led by Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng, gathered at the gate of the city.
This is already all the troops that Qiandu City can currently produce!
When they fought against Liu Jing before, although they were the defending side, they had won many battles with few losses.
But even so, there are still injured people.
In addition, even if the entire army is sent out to complete the battle, Qiandu City cannot be left undefended.
Therefore, including the 3,000 people left behind, it is already extremely difficult to gather 25,000 people.
"Zhang Qing's family, come back to me in triumph!" Emperor Jing Xing said majestically as he looked at Zhang Xun and the 20,000 men and horses behind him who were strong and powerful.
"If I go here, I will live up to the trust of the Holy One!" Zhang Xun saluted hurriedly.
In addition to Emperor Jing Xing, other civil and military officials also came, and many of them praised him highly.
It seemed that this was not about going out to fight the rebels in a bloody battle, but rather like killing an insignificant bandit.
Zhang Xun was helpless in this situation. He could only wave his hand, then waved the riding crop and swung it towards the ground with a snap.
For a moment, the whole army was solemn!
At this time, Zhang Xun gave the order: "The whole army goes out!"
Da da da!
With sonorous and powerful steps, the twenty-five thousand tiger and wolf troops set off.
However, Li Zhufeng and Zhang Xun, who were riding at the front of the team, did not have any joy on their faces. Instead, they frowned slightly.
After several previous battles, they could clearly feel the terror of Liu Jing.
It is still not easy to kill such a person, even if the opponent only has a remnant army left in his hands.
First of all, finding someone is a big problem!
Liu Jing suffered a defeat, and the 50,000 men in his hands were beaten to less than 20,000, and there were still many wounded.
With such a staffing arrangement, naturally they would not dare to set up camp in front of Qiandu City again.
Most likely he found a secluded place and hid secretly.
This situation is pretty good.
The most terrible thing is that this guy is gone!
He left the capital city of Qian directly and attacked the other state capitals of Daqian, plundering resources, recuperating and recuperating, with the intention of planning another big thing!
Just like a dormant poisonous snake, once it finds an opportunity, it will come up and bite you!
This is undoubtedly fatal to Daqian, which is facing constant internal and external troubles.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Since leaving the city for three days, Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng have led their troops to search almost all the barren mountains and wilderness around Qiandu City.
The result was nothing!
What they were most worried about happened!
How can we fight this battle if we can't even find anyone?
Under the influence of such emotions, even the soldiers' mentality is changing subtly.
Getting more and more anxious!
And in this mood, another week passed.
The 25,000-strong army was wandering around Qiandu City like headless flies, but they found nothing.
More and more soldiers have even begun to doubt Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng's decision-making.
Because of this, Zhang Xun had a severe headache and couldn't sleep all night long.
After all, after successive great victories, the twenty-five thousand soldiers had already developed a arrogant heart. When they came out this time, they expected to find the rebels, beat them up, and gain merit at the same time.
But now, they had been searching for ten days in vain, and they only had to dig three feet into the ground, but in the end they didn't even see the rebels. Under such circumstances, how could they not breed emotions?
But Zhang Xun, as a veteran with rich marching experience, is naturally aware of the dangers of such emotions.
But he just couldn't get rid of this emotion.
With no choice, he could only decide to look for three more days. If Liu Jing is still not found after three days, it means that the other party has withdrawn from the area around Qiandu City.
At that time, I can only go back home.
At worst, he would just go to the emperor in person to plead guilty.
Three days almost flew by in the blink of an eye.
The only difference from three days ago is that the anxiety in the army has become increasingly serious.
Zhang Xun was disappointed and prepared to return to Qiandu City.
However, that night, the soldier in charge of the night patrol rushed into the handsome tent with excitement on his face!
Looking at Zhang Xun, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes: "General, I've found... I've found it! I've found the rebels!"
"It's right near our camping spot!"
Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng were overjoyed when they heard this.
But even so, they still didn't take immediate action. Instead, they asked one after another: "How did you find out?"
"Have you been discovered by the other party?"
"Is the news true?"
"General, there is a stream near our camp. Although the water in the stream is cold, it is also a rare source of water."
"Tonight when I was patrolling, I was really thirsty, so I took a detour to the creek and prepared to grab a spoonful of water to drink."
"Who would have thought that when I first arrived, I found a team of twenty people fetching water."
"Each of them brought a lot of containers and took out a lot of water! Not twenty people can drink it all!"
"And they act very securely. They also have specialized personnel standing guard. If they weren't so alert, they would just lie down on the ground and hide themselves in the dark, and they might be discovered!"
"The most important thing is that I could vaguely see their attire through the moonlight. I am sure that it is the armor of the rebels, there is no mistake!"
As soon as this statement came out, Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng already believed it.
The former's eyes shone brightly, he stepped forward and grabbed the patrolman's shoulder directly, his tone was solemn and solemn: "Have you followed up and found where the other party is stationed?"
