Since the most reasonable inference has been made, they have a direction for search, and they delay their time and act immediately. But there are also problems. It is difficult to find a barbarian camp in a huge grassland. Moreover, the climate on the grassland is abnormal, sometimes with heavy fog and sometimes with heavy rain, which is extremely unfavorable to the direction of search. The longer the time, the smaller the chance of finding a barbarian camp.

Today is the fifth day they have arrived here, but after they started to search the day before yesterday, they could not find the barbarian camp. Zhang Kaifeng browsed and couldn't help but wonder if there was a problem with his inferred direction. However, where was the problem wrong? The five people came back, and four of them were left, only Han Zhan had not come back. He had been out for a day and a night. Can he find the barbarian camp? Only Han Zhan was left.

As the sun was in the sky and time flew away, the Korean War had not come back yet, and Wang Jing was fine, but Zheng Ming and Xiaolin were already a little impatient. But when they saw Zhang Kaifeng standing on the mountain bag for a long time, they endured it.

"Brother Zhang, don't be too anxious, Xiao Han will be fine." Wang Jing patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Everyone believes that your inference is correct, please wait patiently! After all, the grassland is so big, we have limited manpower, so we can't be anxious."

"Yes, Brother Zhang, this guy Han Zhan is the first-class in searching. Even a few of us can't catch up with him. You don't have to worry too much." Kobayashi said with a smile.

"The sound of horse hooves." Suddenly, Zheng Ming looked happy and immediately shouted at the mountain bag.

The few people looked shocked and looked into the distance. Sure enough, a black dot appeared, and soon they saw them. One horseman was one person. It was the Korean Zhan. The few people immediately came forward. Zhang Kaifeng carried a water bag and a big sesame cake to Han Zhan.

Han Zhan took the water bag and drank it hard, and after eating the whole piece of sesame cake in big mouthfuls, his chapped lips became better, and his face couldn't hide his joy: "I found it, I found the barbarian camp."

"Where is it?" Wang Jing asked hurriedly.

"It's in the Burial Spirit Valley in the east." Han Zhan couldn't hide his joy and said, "It turns out that this group of barbarians didn't come out except for a few spies who kept wandering outside the camp."

"Zangling Spirit Valley, what is that place?" Zhang Kaifeng asked, because this name is only one word different from Zangling Spirit Valley.

"That was found a long time ago. It was a battlefield that has existed for a long time. No one knew its origin." Wang Jing replied: "There are bones that seek death. The yin energy is very strong all year round. Few people go anywhere. People who have been in there have never come out. Over time, this name has been called, and it is closest to the fortress I am waiting for. I didn't expect them to be there."

"No wonder they can't find their traces. It seems that they wanted to catch us by surprise after we thought it was just a bluff. They suddenly appeared and caught us off guard. They actually ran under our noses. The most dangerous place is often ignored. It was because of our carelessness." Wang Jing said in a deep voice: "I have recorded Xiao Han's merit this time. When I go back, I will write a letter with the general to get you the merit."

"Where! Fortunately, Brother Zhang had a brilliant plan this time, and everyone worked hard to realize cunning satisfaction." Han Zhan said modestly: "What should we do next."

"Brother Zhang, what do you think?" Wang Jing turned his eyes. This time Zhang Kaifeng came out, which really gave them unexpected gains. Otherwise, if they were close, they would definitely not find any clues.

"Uh!" Zhang Kaifeng was stunned and said, "I guessed it right just by chance. How dare I command it casually?"

"Brother Zhang, don't refuse. We are just strong, but there is not much ink in our stomachs." Kobayashi said.

"Yes, Brother Zhang, don't refuse. This time we can find the barbarian camp, it's all up to Brother Zhang's wisdom, otherwise we will have to return without success." Han Zhan also said.

"Yes, Brother Zhang, why don't you have any ideas? Let's talk about it together." Wang Jing also said.

"Okay, then I won't refuse." Zhang Kaifeng asked his own question: "Have their grain transport troops been revealed? Have you seen how many people are in their troops?"

"This--I'm not too close, so I don't know the specific number of people, but I'm sure there will be no more than 10,000 people." Han Zhan said hesitantly.

"There must be a thousand people." Zhang Kaifeng pondered and said, "Xiaolin, hurry back immediately and tell Brother Luo to ask him to recruit soldiers."

"How is it possible for thousands of people?" Everyone's expression changed.

"There is nothing impossible. All signs show that when the barbarians appear, they want to hide their movements. The ultimate goal is to break the fortress. Those who have this ability need thousands of people, and they must defeat the fortress as quickly as possible. Otherwise, once they are revealed, relying on the fortress's strength, it will be the day of failure of the barbarians when reinforcements arrive, so they have to do this with all their efforts." Zhang Kaifeng sighed.

"How many people!" Kobayashi asked.

"Calculate as much as you can." Zhang Kaifeng said with a serious expression.

"I'm afraid it can be transferred at most, only hundreds of people." Kobayashi answered truthfully.

"Let Brother Luo report directly to the prefecture and ask them to send troops here." Zhang Kaifeng said.

"I'm afraid there is no such possibility!" Wang Jing sighed.

"Why is this? The barbarian military camp has been clearly revealed. All signs indicate that this barbarian army is trying to break through the fortress. What reason do they have to send troops?" Zhang Kaifeng frowned: "If there is no direct evidence, I can understand that they will not send people here, but in this situation, can they sit idly by and ignore it?"

"Brother Zhang, you don't know anything. Master Zhang, you are extremely licentious all day long, and the military and political affairs are unmanaged. What kind of combat power can the army of the prefecture have?" Zheng Ming sneered: "Compared with us, those people are just scumbags."

"What? The state prefecture is close to the frontier fortress, and it actually sends such a person to manage it. Is the court confused?" Zhang Kaifeng's face looked annoyed.

"Although this is a frontier fortress, it has not had any major wars for many years. People here have long been used to comfort. And there is so much oil and water available in remote places, so the prefectures sent here all want to make a fortune during their term of office. They have been ignored for many years, and even our military pay is deducted again and again. The general advised many times, and was even scolded." Wang Jing said gritting his teeth: "The prefectures in the frontier are already in corruption, so sooner or later it will make the hearts of the soldiers guarding the pass."

"You mean, this is not just the situation here?" Zhang Kaifeng's body was cold. The degree of such a border was shocking. If the barbarians were in trouble in the future, the border fortress of Dayan was just tofu that was dried from the outside: "Why not report it?"

"Report! Brother Zhang, the news we reported has long been sank to the sea, and over time we have given up." Han Zhan was helpless, but he was more angry and hated that the country did not regard the soldiers guarding the pass as human beings, hated the corruption of the prefecture, but they had no way to appeal.

"It's ridiculous. The big swallow is known as the most powerful in a century. Where is the prosperity? It's just a soft persimmon." Wang Jing said in a sad tone: "The country treats the soldiers on the border like this. How can the soldiers serve the country? Yes, once when I went home, I happened to meet a friend who grew up with me when I was a child. He also told me about the border. What do soldiers eat? Coarse grains are coarse grains, and things that even pigs and dogs don't eat. Let the soldiers guarding the gate eat them. Where can they get the combat power? The country is worrying."

"These corruption is really damn." Zhang Kaifeng's face was cold, and he couldn't help but the anger in his chest, and he wanted to fight.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Kaifeng forced his anger to calm himself down and said, "Xiaolin, you can set off and rush back immediately. No matter what, you can bring as many soldiers as you can here. Be careful on the way."

"I understand." Kobayashi turned over and left here.

"As for us, the most urgent task is to clarify the number of enemies." Wang Jing said in a deep voice.

The number of troops, food, grass and military supplies, these two things are related to whether a war can be won and are subsequent supply issues. The barbarians leave their territory and come to this remote fortress from thousands of miles away, and the support supply is very important.

"Let's go! Time is tight." Zhang Kaifeng nodded, then turned around and said, "Xiao Han, you just came back, take a break."

"Brother Zhang asked me to go with you, I'm not tired." Han Zhan was anxious when he heard that Zhang Kaifeng was not allowed to go, and he immediately became anxious: "I can still fight."

"bump!"

Suddenly, Zhang Kaifeng made a move and punched Han Zhan, who fell to the ground immediately.

"Brother Zhang, you--." Zheng Ming and others were surprised, not understanding why Zhang Kaifeng was like this. But let them know that Zhang Kaifeng has good skills, although he is not a top expert in the world.

"Look, you can't even catch me with a punch, how much strength do you have?" Zhang Kaifeng looked at Han Zhan's pale face and said, "Xiao Han, I know your mood. However, you don't have much combat power at all. If you don't want to drag us down, just have a good rest and will use your time."

"Brother Zhang--I---." Han Zhan, who was holding his chest, breathed extremely fast.

"This is a marching and fighting, not a joke. If you want to kill more barbarians, then have a good rest." Zhang Kaifeng's voice showed a little coldness.

"Brother Zhang said it well, Xiao Han, we are thinking about you." Wang Jing continued: "We will leave a mark for you, you can have a good rest."

"I understand." Han Zhan lowered his head in frustration.

Zhang Kaifeng looked at him, wondering whether it was funny or angry, and said, "You want to earn military merits. Isn't that the time yet? After we find out, you will fight against the mighty wind. Then I will see if your bow technique is as powerful as they said."

"Really?" Han Zhan's eyes lit up: "I will surprise you, Brother Zhang."

"Nonsense!" Wang Jing cursed with a smile.

After preparing all the preparations, Zhang Kaifeng and the other two boarded the horse lightly, took only some dry food and weapons and went on the road. They took advantage of the night and disappeared into the darkness.

They rushed non-stop. When it was light dawn, the four of them finally arrived at their destination. The hazy fog blew, making their figures looming, and it would not make it difficult for the barbarian spies to see them. Moreover, they did not get too close, and the target was obvious. The black fog that spread out in the Burial Spirit Valley was very different from the white fog, but it was easy to identify.

There are countless bones that died in the Burial Spirit Valley, and black mist is sprayed all year round, like an independent basin, spraying black mist outward, looking like the entrance to hell, and no grass grows around the Burial Spirit Valley.

But they clearly confirmed that there were some of them, and there were quite a few. The man could know from the black fog mixed with gray smoke that there were a lot of this kind of gray smoke, and it seemed that there were a large number of people. This was a fire in the barbarian camp and preparing breakfast. It seemed that the barbarians originally wanted to use the black fog here to cover up the traces, but unfortunately they met Zhang Kaifeng and the others.

"It seems that the barbarians are burning fire?" Wang Jing said.

"They have been playing with us for so many days, and it's so fun to be leisurely here." Zheng Ming gritted his teeth: "But they just act like this, won't they annoy Wang Ting?"

"Thousands of people, it seems that the barbarians who came to attack this time were not directly under the royal court. Obviously, a certain tribe acted without authorization and did not inform the royal court. The system of the barbarians is different from that of the Central Plains. The royal court composed of royal families and aristocratic families has absolute power and the strongest strength. Next are various tribes, and the tribes are smaller tribes under the tribes. The barbarians advocate strength, so the relationship between the weak is very bad, and there are dangers of devouring themselves at any time. If you want to become stronger, you have to devour other tribes. Some barbarian tribes will also choose to rely on plunder to strengthen themselves." Zhang Kaifeng explained: "The system of the barbarian royal court is special, and it doesn't matter if they don't have to tell the royal court themselves. The tribes below are not without precedent."

"Brother Zhang, why do you know this?" Zheng Ming was surprised.

"Idiot." Wang Jing laughed and scolded: "Brother Zhang is a scholar, why don't you know?"

"Now our mission is to find out which tribe it is." Zhang Kaifeng shook his head and then continued: "Brother Wang will explore the barbarian tribe, and Zheng Ming will investigate the barbarian logistics supplies, and I will be ready to sneak into the Burial Spirit Valley to see how much baggage and number of people they have."

"No." Wang Jing changed his color and said, "I won't say that Brother Zhang's burial in Ling Valley, and I don't know how many barbarian soldiers there are, so it will only be more dangerous to go in."

"Yes, Brother Zhang, you are weak, so I will do such a dangerous thing." Zheng Ming also disagreed.

"This intrusion can only be done by me. Moreover, I know the language of the barbarians. After the chance of being revealed, I can escape and not be exposed too easily." Zhang Kaifeng said.

Wang Jing and Zheng Ming were speechless. Zhang Kaifeng was talking about the facts. Seeing that he looked firm, he could only agree helplessly. At the moment, the three of them did not stop, divided the work and cooperated, and took action.
