He said he was careless and was really just looking for an excuse, and had no intention of ending the defeat.
If the root of the problem is not found, how will he fight the next battle?
"I also have doubts about the issue of engraving. I will find a way to confirm this."
"But..." Wang Li suddenly turned his eyes to Bai Tu who was standing aside, and said in a cold and sinister tone, "I have a more important question that I want to know the answer to!"
"Give me the map!"
"Oh...oh, here, here!" Bai Tu, who was startled by Wang Li's fierce gaze, hurriedly took out the map and handed it over.
Wang Li took the map, spread it out, and checked it again to make sure he remembered it correctly, which made his face become more gloomy and vicious.
"Our army's scouts have always been strict in their inspections. Why is this huge Qingming Valley next to the Spring Equinox Jingzhe Slope not on the map!?"
The people responsible for surveying the terrain and drawing the map were not just one or two scouts, but an entire team of scouts. How could no one notice the existence of Qingming Valley?
That place is a bit off-the-beaten-path at best, but it’s not an evil place!
Facing the question raised by Wang Li, Bai Tu and Zhao Bu lowered their heads together, neither of them dared to say a word.
Bai Tu didn't speak because he had no brains and couldn't think of an answer.
Zhao Bu had a vague guess, but the people involved were a bit sensitive. It was not convenient for him to accuse him, so he could only choose to remain silent and see if Wang Li could come up with the answer on his own.
In fact, of course Wang Li had some guesses, which was also the root cause of his ugly face.
At this time, Wang Li suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something strange on the map. He brought his nose closer and smelled it, and a faint familiar smell suddenly came into his mind.
Wang Li's eyes widened, his cheeks twitched slightly, with an expression of anger but suppressed.
Now, he was sure who caused the problem with the map.
However, he did not explain this immediately, but shouted angrily:
"Someone is coming!"
After giving the order, several messenger scouts immediately came over and knelt down to wait for orders.
"Pass on my military order to order the Blood Tiger, Furious Leopard, Yin Jackal, and Wild Wolf to each lead a troop of troops and march along the Daze Mountains in all directions according to the planned plan to launch a comprehensive encirclement and suppression operation!"
"The rest of you, follow me back to camp!"
Blood Tiger, Raging Leopard, Dark Jackal, and Wild Wolf, these four names that smell like cannon fodder represent the four most important generals under Wang Li who are armor-piercing soldiers in hundreds of battles. Each one of them is brave and good at fighting.
Although Wang Li usually has Zhao Bu with him, when it comes to war, he relies more on the four jackals, tigers and leopards under his command.
Although their names are a bit awkward, there is no problem with their abilities. They are all veteran generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
The hundred battle armor-piercing soldiers were fully composed of about 30,000 men. Wang Li commanded the 8,000 crossbow infantry directly under his command, while the other soldiers were divided into four groups: jackals, tigers and leopards, each leading an army of about 6,000 men.
This time when he attacked Daze Mountain, Wang Li also temporarily recruited the local garrison and assigned them to four men: jackals, tigers and leopards, each with about 2,000 men.
Therefore, the four of them ended up with about 8,000 troops, and they were arranged by Wang Li early to surround the entire Daze Mountain from different directions.
This is also the real crisis for farmers.
It would be difficult for Wang Li's crossbow formation to truly destroy a farm with 100,000 disciples alone.
………………
Like Tian Yan and the others, Long Qie, Ji Bu, Ying Bu, and Zhong Limei were also watching Wang Li's defeat in Qingming Valley.
None of the four serious generals got involved in this battle... This was Han Xin's request, and the reason was very simple. It was not necessary at all.
Throughout the Battle of Qingming Valley, there was no direct battle between the imperial army and the peasant disciples. There was no point in getting a few generals to join them. It would be better to get a few more strong men.
But after this battle, the four of them will need to show their prowess.
Wang Li, who was defeated in the first battle, will surely make a comeback as quickly as possible and launch a true all-out offensive.
At that time, small calculations like Qingming Valley will not work, and it will require a real head-to-head confrontation between the farmers and the armor-piercing soldiers.
That was when they, the generals, and the peasant disciples truly became one.
Now that the play is over, Long Qie and others have to hurry up and join Han Xin and the others.
But before that, there is another problem.
"Ji Bu, after this battle, your sister will be exposed sooner or later. Do we need to do anything?" Long Qie asked Ji Bu.
In other words, he asked Ji Bu if he wanted to save people first.
Ji Bu shook his head, "I have sent a message to my sister to get out as soon as possible."
"Wang Li probably didn't think of her so quickly and had enough time to escape."
Although Han Xin's plan was well laid out, no one could tell whether Wang Li would step in until it truly succeeded.
Therefore, Huaying did not retreat immediately - if the plan failed, she could still continue undercover.
It wasn't until Ji Bu saw Wang Li leading his army into Qingming Valley with his own eyes that he quickly sent a message to Hua Ying, informing her to evacuate.
In the absence of clear clues, it would definitely take Wang Li some time to find out which link caused the problem.
And this gap was enough for the experienced Huaying to escape.
Unfortunately... things went a little awry.
If you often walk by the river, you will get wet sooner or later. No matter how experienced the flower shadow is, it is impossible to never make mistakes.
But Ji Bu didn't know this.
In the end, the four of them, Long Qie, rushed to Han Xin's side to meet up as planned.
………………
A camp of armor-piercing soldiers who fought in hundreds of battles.
Huaying has received the retreat message from Ji Bu.
With her intelligence, it was not difficult to guess that this meant that the farmer's plan was successful, and she couldn't help but smile sincerely.
Then, without any thought of delaying, she turned around and wanted to escape.
However, it was too late, as a group of armor-piercing soldiers suddenly broke into the camp.
Huaying knew something was wrong when she heard the sound of military boots stepping on the ground.
Although she didn't know why she was exposed so quickly, it was too late to consider the issue at this time. Her first reaction was to swallow the note in her hand.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Do not leave direct evidence, otherwise there will be no room for quibbles.
As soon as she swallowed the note, a group of soldiers rushed over. Two of them lifted her up, one on the left and the other on the right, to control her.
Wang Li followed closely behind, walking angrily with heavy steps.
Hua Ying was about to cry a few words when Wang Li came over and slapped her to the ground. Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth and one cheek became swollen.
Seeing Wang Li's decisive move, Hua Ying knew that she might not be able to escape this time.
But despite this, she still did not give up and planned to negotiate with the other party.
At this time, the parrot used to deliver the message started shouting habitually when it saw Wang Li:
"The general is coming! The general is coming!"
As soon as Wang Li heard the sound and looked at the bird, he immediately understood how Huaying was delivering the news in the military camp. He walked over quickly angrily, grabbed the parrot, and slapped it to the ground.
Looking at the dying parrot that fell to the ground, Huaying's eyes changed, and she felt a lot of sadness.
Although this bird is a tool for her to communicate with the outside world, it is also a pet that she has kept for many years, and she has long had feelings for it.
Now that I see that it is about to die because of me, I can't help but feel guilty.
At this time, Wang Li raised his leg and planned to crush it to death.
Hua Ying subconsciously rushed forward, hugged Wang Li's legs, and protected the parrot.
Of course, protecting birds does not prevent her from arguing for herself.
"I really don't know what made the general so angry... Wuwu..." Hua Ying looked up at Wang Li with a sad expression and cried.
Wang Li's eyes did not see the warmth of the past at all, only cold. He reached out and grabbed Hua Ying's head, then knelt down and stared at the other party and said:
"Answer a question and I won't kill you!"
Hua Ying looked at him blankly, wondering what the other person was planning.
Wang Li ignored her reaction and stretched out his hand to the side, and someone immediately handed over the map.
"Are you familiar with Daze Mountain?" Wang Li asked in a cold tone.
"...Yes." Huaying replied with a trembling voice.
"Okay!" Wang Li shook the map in his hand, unfolded it, and then continued, "On this map, help me find a place called Qingming Valley!"
Hearing this, Huaying subconsciously looked at the map - she knew that Qingming Valley on the map had been hidden by herself, but she still couldn't help but glance at the corresponding location on the map.
And this glance had completely exposed her.
Wang Li became angry and slapped Hua Ying to the ground again.
"It seems you really know where Qingming Valley is!"
"But it's not on the map!"
Then Wang Li stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Huaying's dressing table, and said in a cold and hateful tone, "It's just that the floral fragrance you used is too strong, and the fox's tail is exposed!"
This was the direct reason why Hua Ying was exposed early. Otherwise, with her intelligence, she might still be able to deal with Wang Li.
At this time, Huaying finally knew what her problem was.
She was completely irrefutable and stopped pretending, and responded with a sneer:
"Yes, I know exactly where Qingming Valley is."
"I'll kill you!"
Hua Ying's tone instantly angered Wang Li. He drew out his sword and was about to hack Hua Ying to death.
Zhao Bu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and when Bai Tu saw this, he also stepped forward.
"General, calm down, calm down!" Zhao Bu pulled Wang Li to dissuade him.
He didn't care whether Hua Ying died or not, but the other party might know some important information, so he couldn't just kill him hastily - Hua Ying deliberately angered Wang Li, that is, he wanted to die.
Wang Li barely suppressed the swordsman's thoughts and asked angrily, "You are a spy from the farmer's family. Who are you working for? Is it Shennongtang?"
"explain!"
Hua Ying collapsed on the ground, looked up at Wang Li and others, deliberately put on a face of contempt and sarcasm, and replied in a neutral tone:
"The big shot behind me will scare you to death if I tell you!"
"Speak quickly! Otherwise, I will cut you to death with a thousand cuts!" Wang Li couldn't stand Hua Ying now. If it weren't for the information, he would definitely kill this woman who was 'playing with' his feelings as soon as possible.
Hua Ying struggled to sit up, raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and replied with a sneer, "The supreme leader of Luo Wang, Mr. Zhao Gao, the Commander of the Central Chefing Mansion."
"Are you the one who snares the net!?"
"Ah!"
Wang Li was immediately laughed out of anger.
How the hell didn’t I know you were from Luowang!?
There was Tian Yan before, and now there is you. Why, do women now like to pretend to be snare killers!?
Is there any more royal law? Is there any more law!?
"You dare to play tricks on me!"
Wang Li couldn't bear it anymore. He was so angry that he insisted on throwing away Zhao Bu and Bai Tu and slashed Hua Ying to death with his sword.
Hua Ying didn't care about Wang Li's sword so close at hand. What she wanted was to die quickly.
Zhao Bu saw that Wang Li really couldn't hold him back, so he had no choice but to persuade him:
"General, this woman is obviously an undercover thief. When she was caught, she bit her randomly and wanted to die."
"She must have a lot of important information on her. It would be better to interrogate her severely and force her to confess. It might be very useful in the subsequent war."
Zhao Bu said what he said, and Wang Li's reason finally gained the upper hand. He gritted his teeth and stared at Hua Ying. After all, he no longer insisted on killing the other party. He thrust the sword into the ground fiercely and ordered in a venomous tone:
"Take her down!"
"No matter what means you use, pry her mouth open!"
After saying that, Wang Li walked away directly, not wanting to look at Hua Ying again.
Bai Tu quickly pulled out Wang Li's sword and followed him in a small step.
Zhao Bu gestured twice to the soldiers next to him, telling them to take the people down, and then followed Wang Li's footsteps.
Huaying, who was unable to die, had no choice but to be forced out of the camp by several soldiers. What awaited her was naturally torture that would be worse than death.
The parrot had no breath at this time and was completely dead.
………………
At the same time, among the four Long Qie who were galloping through the mountains and forests, Ji Bu, who was last, suddenly fell into a trance, his whole consciousness was blurred, his hands loosened, and he fell off the horse.
Hearing the noise behind them, Long Qie and the others looked back and saw Ji Bu rolling on the ground.
"Xu..."
The three of them quickly stopped their horses and dismounted together.
Long Qieyingbu quickly stepped forward to check Jibu's condition, while Zhonglimei drew his bow and arrow, carefully guarding his surroundings.
"This... is not injured. What's wrong?" Yingbu looked around carefully and found no injuries on Ji Bu's body. He was completely confused.
It's so good, why are people trembling all over and breaking into cold sweats?
I got sick?
Ji Bu regained some consciousness at this time and said in a low tone, "It's my sister... something happened to her!"
"Ah?" X3
At this moment, Long Qi and the other three were stunned.
What is going on? Why did it suddenly involve Hua Ying?
"Your sister...Miss Huaying...how did you know?" Yingbu couldn't help but ask.
"We are... twins..." Ji Bu gave a very metaphysical answer.
Because they are twins, they have telepathy... This is what Ji Bu means.
This statement sounds ridiculous at first, but when you think about it carefully... it is indeed ridiculous.
But in the world of the Qin Dynasty, which was not very scientific, it was not completely unacceptable.
For example, the three of them, Long Qie, instantly understood and accepted this answer.
Yingbu was even more convinced of this and immediately determined that something had really happened to Huaying.
"No! Miss Huaying risked her life to deliver the information, we have to save her quickly!"
Yingbu has always been emotional and loyal, and he would not tolerate it for a moment if the life safety of friendly troops was involved.
But Ji Bu, who had regained his composure, stopped him, "No, you can't go!"
"What are you talking about!?" Yingbu couldn't help but look at Ji Bu as if he were a fool.
Ji Bu put away the heavy worry in his eyes, stood up and braced himself, and replied in a deep voice:
"Sister knows what she is doing and she is prepared!"
