50,000 Jingzhou soldiers have gone, and what remains is nearly 80,000 troops with a team of 30,000 Chang'an soldiers. If they want to defend it, they can still defend it. Moreover, Xu Lang's political propaganda has been very effective during this period of time. The sergeants did not do anything wrong to the people of Jingzhou. Most of the people raised their necks and waited for the British king to ascend the treasure and hope that everyone would live a good life.
But with 50,000 soldiers and horses, it was really a bit bold to do such a big thing.
"I just wonder how Senior Chuchen and the others are doing now?"
After everything was arranged, Xu Lang looked at Wei Dayong and Li Wenzhong who were left behind, looking worried.
After Jingzhou was captured, Taoist Master Chuchen volunteered to track down King Ping and his party, saying that if he could capture King Ping, the war would end early and the people would be in peace. Xu Lang couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so he had to obey him. Therefore, the Wudang heroes only rested for a while and then went out of the city to find King Ping.
However, now that some time has passed, they still have no news, which makes Xu Lang and Wei Dayong feel a little worried. Ordinarily, there were not many masters around Prince Ping, so the two brothers Wu Wuming and Wu Ming wouldn't be able to take advantage of him when they met the Three Swords of Wudang.
"Oh, that's really worrying!"
Wei Dayong sighed, extremely helpless.
"It's a pity that you and I are busy with military affairs and can't go separately. However, your masters and others are highly skilled in martial arts and have a high reputation in the world. How can ordinary masters defeat them? I guess they may have looked in the wrong direction and spent too much time. After all the twists and turns, no news came for a long time. Besides, King Ping fled in a hurry that day, and no one knew where he would go. He could go up to Ezhou, down to Yuezhou, Changsha County, or even to Wuling County. Let’s go!”
Xu Lang could only comfort him.
"I hope that Master and the others will be auspicious and nothing will happen to them."
Wei Dayong nodded.
The world is dangerous, and no matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of accidents. He's not worried, that's a lie. But what can happen if things are already like this?
In fact, after Taoist Master Chuchen led the Wudang heroes out of Jingzhou City that day, he was indeed a little confused. Because after Jingzhou was conquered by Xu Lang, the people in nearby prefectures and counties were panicked, and the soldiers and civilians were uneasy. Therefore, many people fled south to Wuling County, Changsha County and other places when they were uncertain about the direction of the future war. This made it difficult to track Taoist Master Cheng and others.
After King Ping left the city, he changed his appearance long ago and mingled with the refugees with Wuming Wuming and others. How could he find any trace of him for a while?
"Senior brother, I've been waiting for five or six days to leave Jingzhou. No matter how fast King Ping is, he can't stop resting, right? How come he didn't leave any traces at all?"
There are not many people walking along the Yangtze River and Lake on Songqing Road, so I was quite surprised by this.
"Junior brother, after all, he is a prince, and he is more scheming than us. Now, the official road is full of exiled people. The sea of people is huge. It is not easy to find people."
Taoist Master Chuchen shook his head, feeling quite helpless. It stands to reason that with their foot strength, even if they leave the city a little slowly, they won't be able to chase for five or six days without getting a clue.
"Or maybe we're looking in the wrong direction."
After careful consideration, Taoist priest Matsukaze came to his own conclusion.
"Well, it's possible. According to General Xu's judgment, although Prince Ping can go to Ezhou, and down to Yuezhou, Changsha, and Wuling County, going to Ezhou is like entering the tiger's mouth again, so he doesn't dare to go no matter what. .So, he can only go down, which is definitely correct."
Taoist Master Chuchen pondered for a moment and made an analysis.
The front is Huarong, the west can be to Wuling County, and the east can be to Yuezhou. Which direction to pursue requires careful consideration.
