The next day, before dawn, Si Zuo got up early and walked around the camp.In fact, he was waiting for Pi and Bian to come back.But when it was dawn, they didn't come back.Si Zuo was both happy and worried, and looked forward to the return of the two more and more.The reason why the two of them haven't come back this morning or night must have found something, and they need to spend more time to investigate further.Happily, I was finally able to have a more realistic understanding of the situation ahead.The worry is that I don't know what these two people have discovered.Si Zuo didn't wait for them any longer, had breakfast, and led the army to march again.It wasn't until noon that Si Zuo was about to let the troops stop and rest, when the figures of Pi and Bian reappeared in his field of vision.Si Zuo immediately forgot about letting the troops rest, turned over and dismounted, came to the two of them, and asked directly, "How?"
”Pi and Bian ran around all night, a little tired, and gasped for a while, then they gave Si Zuo a thumbs up and said, "Si Zuo, you are still tall!"
Before, we traveled all the way and didn't see anyone, but this time we explored carefully, and we also traveled through the wilderness, and finally saw people more than thirty miles away. ”"How many people are there, densely packed, like ants, obviously, they are the people of Nanshan Kingdom who came out of the empty city.In the crowd, some uniformed soldiers can be faintly seen, as if they are the defenders retreating from the border land. ”"These people are so cunning, they don't take the official road, but pass through the wilderness, if it weren't for Lord Si Zuo to let us explore the wilderness, it would be really not easy to find them!"
Si Zuo nodded: "Lord Pi Shizhen, Lord Bian Rong, the two of you have worked hard!"
After seeing these people, did you continue to investigate?
”"Of course," replied the two men, "Lord Sizuo has told us to explore the city where there are people, so how can we not continue to investigate?"
Although these people are in a hurry, they are not fast, and it is estimated that they will only walk twenty or thirty miles a day, and they can deal with them at any time. ”"We ignored these people, and continued to investigate, and after every twenty miles or so, we found that there were many people walking in the wilderness, and unlike the first batch, there were no soldiers among them, only some people who looked like guards.""
We ignored these people and continued to explore, until seventy or eighty kilometers away, and finally saw a city with people.It seems that the city further inside should not retreat. ”Si Zuo said: "Can you see the name of the city?"
Why do you think that the city will not retreat further in?
”Pi and Bian said: "Of course, since we have explored that place, how can we not look at the name of the city?"
The city is called Fuzai City, and the three big characters are written above the city gate, which can be seen clearly. ”"As for why we don't think they will retreat any further, it's because the city is building a lot of buildings, and a trench a few feet wide has been dug outside the city, leaving only a narrow path to pass, and the city is also raising the city walls, and we have been observing there for a long time, and we have seen people in the city suddenly fly into the air, as if they are checking the progress of various projects.""
If the city also retreats, why do you do this?
Also, there were people in the city who flew into the air, and it was obvious that there were people in the city who had a predetermined future.So we feel that they must use Fuzai City as the boundary and defend it strictly. ”After listening to what the two of them said, Si Zuo gently spit out two words in his mouth: "Sure enough, ......" and "What is it?"
What is Si Zuo going to do?
”Pi and Bian looked at Si Zuo puzzled."
It's nothing," Si Zuo said with a smile, "The two adults have worked hard, and go back to rest first, this matter will have to be discussed in the long run." ”Pi and Bian asked again: "Those people of Nanshan Country who retreated in the wilderness, do you have any ideas?"
With only one hundred and ten elite soldiers, led by two pre-heavens, all these people of Nanshan Country can stay in the wilderness and make rations for the small beasts all over the mountains. ”"This," Si Zuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's discuss this together when we discuss it."
The two adults have worked hard, so let's go back and rest first. ”"Okay."
Pi and Bian didn't seem to want to say more when they saw Si Zuo, so they didn't ask any more, arched their hands towards Si Zuo, and returned to the team behind.At this time, Si Zuo suddenly remembered that it was now noon, and it was time for everyone to eat something and rest.The army stopped to rest for the time being, and Si Zuo also came to a small mound, leaning against a small tree, silently thinking about his thoughts.When the army of Xing Kingdom came, they attacked the city all the way, and soon occupied one-third of the land of Nanshan Kingdom, but they were blocked in the middle of Nanshan Kingdom, and it was difficult to advance an inch.Although it has been a long time since this happened, I know it as a person who respects the country, how can a person from Nanshan Country not know.I was still lucky yesterday, thinking that the retreat of the defenders on the border of Nanshan and these cities was due to fear.The people are obviously retreating strategically!
Will he repeat the mistakes of the past, like Xing Guo back then, trapped in Fuzai City, and it will be difficult to advance an inch anymore, or will he be able to think of a way to break the defense line of the people of Nanshan Kingdom?
Si Zuo himself is not sure.…… What Si Zuo didn't know was that Li Zheng and Lu Zhen really didn't know this story.Li Zheng is only twenty-three years old this year, and he has been studying in the martial arts hall before, and in addition to having fun, he is worried that he can't awaken his talent.It wasn't until the last two years that he slowly began to dabble in something else, but historical anecdotes like this were clearly not among his priorities.Lu Zhen has been obsessed with the pursuit of the innate way before, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to the affairs of the sect, let alone dabble in these historical stories.The reason why he made the decision to retreat was entirely based on Li Zheng's judgment of the situation, believing that only in this way could the best result be obtained.Lu Zhen is also a decisive person, on the day Li Zheng proposed to build a pass for defense, he convened all the elders of the fake line, several leaders of the Xuanwei battalion, and several generals of the army below to discuss how to build the pass and how to defend it.Previously, the Xuanwei Battalion was led by Xia Ke, and Li Zheng and Ci'an were the deputy commanders, but because Li Zheng and Xia Ke were going to set up an external intelligence system, and Ci'an was not interested in asking questions, the Xuanwei Battalion had been changed to several team leaders who reported directly to Lu Zhen.Now that the army of Jingguo is coming to the city, the matter of forming an external intelligence system can only be put aside first, so the responsibility of commanding the Xuanwei battalion has fallen to Xia Ke and Li Zheng.On the same day, the result of the discussion was to build ten major passes along the cities of Fuzaicheng and other cities according to the terrain to stop the pace of the Jingguo army from continuing to advance.And by the next day, some of the elite forces of the Xuanwei Battalion and the fake thing line came to Fuzai City with Li Zheng and Xia Ke, and according to the situation, some troops will be mobilized to go.At the same time, Lu Zhen also issued the third phase of the recruitment list, and at the same time, there was also a nationwide conscription order.Although, this national area is now only one-third of its original size.
