Special War God
Chapter 65: The Mystery of Hidden Pursuit
Tian Fangyue, together with Xie Fengyang and Luo Lanxue, led 30,000 cavalrymen and traveled day and night. When they entered the border of Yangzhou, they learned that the Chiyan Army had already evacuated Yangzi City.
Yangzi City was once tightly blockaded by the Chiyan Army. We only know that they left quietly the night before. As for when and by which route they retreated, no one knows the exact information.
Tian Fangyue angrily ordered: "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! This is within the territory of our Bai country. I don't believe they can still hide underground!"
Xie Fengyang said worriedly: "We still don't know the whereabouts of the Red Flame Army. We can't catch up with them. What should we do next?"
Tian Fangyue suggested: "Since we know that the Red Flame Army has left Yangzi City, we should go to Yangzi City first, looking for clues about the Red Flame Army and finding out what their purpose is in Yangzi City. Perhaps we can infer the Red Flame Army's true intention to capture Yangzi City."
Luo Lanxue had no objection, so everyone continued to head for Yangzi City.
Arriving at the governor's residence in Yangzi City, Tian Fangyue couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "The Red Flame Army plundered so thoroughly, couldn't they leave me, Tian, with even a little leftovers?"
Originally, he was hoping to get some benefits from the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion. After all, it was the Chiyan Army that cleaned up the mess, so why not take advantage of it? Unexpectedly, he was terribly disappointed.
It was not until the next day after they moved into the governor's mansion in Yangzi City that they finally got accurate information about the Red Flame Army - it turned out that the Red Flame Army had occupied Kanghui City, the capital of Kangzhou Prefecture, located in the west of Yangzhou, a day earlier.
The cavalry moved extremely swiftly. Although Xia Zhongnan and others still adhered to the principle of hiding during the day and moving at night, after only four days, they had galloped over a thousand miles to reach Kanghui City, Kangzhou, west of Yangzhou.
This time, Xia Zhongnan, Xu Qian and Lang Zhengfeng sneaked into Kanghui City in disguise.
Different from the greedy shopping when she first set foot in Yangzi City, Xu Qian urged Xia Zhongnan to prioritize "official business" this time. She immediately explored the military deployment in the city and made sure there were no ambushes or traps. Then, she sent a contact signal to Liu Dabazi outside the city, and dragged Xia Zhongnan and Lang Zhengfeng straight to the governor's mansion.
As soon as they stepped into the governor's mansion, Lang Zhengfeng intimidated everyone with his outstanding cultivation, and Xu Qian rushed to the secret treasure house of the governor's mansion impatiently.
Here, they found two more storage rings. At the same time, a governor outside the Xuzhou governor's mansion also changed his expression drastically, realizing that his mansion had been visited by thieves...
Thanks to the two newly acquired Qiankun rings, otherwise they would have found it difficult to carry even more magic weapons and spiritual materials.
However, this time, Xia Zhongnan did not stay in Kanghui City for too long. After the looting was completed, he quietly evacuated that night.
His goal at this moment was to return to Yangzhou via the Yunzhou area in the east.
As expected, after learning that the Chiyu Army had occupied Kanghui City in Kangzhou, Tian Fangyue, Xie Fengyang and Luo Lanxue formulated a new strategy. They split their troops into two groups and each rushed to the two major provincial fortresses bordering Kangzhou.
They could no longer allow the Chiyu Army to hold them back, so they decided to go to the two places in advance to try their luck and see if they could intercept the Chiyu Army's whereabouts.
However, they misjudged the situation, and the Chiyu Army did not appear in those two cities.
They did not dare to go far away and could only hide around the two cities and wait for the actions of the Chiyu Army.
Two days later, they received the latest intelligence that the Chiyu Army had captured Luoyun City in Yunzhou.
Upon hearing the news, the governor of Yunzhou, who was far away in Xuzhou, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The fact that his homeland had fallen made him heartbroken.
Among the six governors of Xuzhou, the hometowns of three have been destroyed. The remaining three and their generals are in constant fear. If it were not for the majesty of Kou Zhanyong, they would have led their troops back to their hometowns to provide support.
What kind of logic is this? They fight on the battlefield for the imperial court, but the imperial court cannot even protect the foundation of them, the governors of the provinces. How can they concentrate on fighting?
The eyes of several governors when they looked at Kou Zhanyong changed, especially those three governors who had already known about the changes in their families, they even wanted to eat Kou Zhanyong alive.
However, Kou Zhanyong has limited troops of his own and still needs to rely on the support of these governors. Now people have different opinions, so how can he continue to fight this war?
He had fought with Wen Xifeng once before, and although he was defeated slightly, he did not dare to act rashly. The already unstable morale of the army would only put it at a greater disadvantage if it fought again.
But if they do not take any action, the governors who are worried about the safety of their families will have a hard time every day. Kou Zhanyong can only sigh, wondering when the imperial court will be able to truly suppress the Chiyu Army and allow them to fight against foreign enemies with peace of mind.
On the side of the imperial army, whether it was Tian Fangyue, Xie Fengyang or Luo Lanxue, they all angrily cursed the Chiyu Army for being too despicable. They did not dare to fight head-on and only knew how to play hide-and-seek.
More than ten days have passed since they left the capital, and there has never been a direct confrontation, but they are extremely exhausted and have no idea what to do.
On the other hand, on the Chiyu Army's side, from Liu Dabazi, Zhao Delin, Zuoqiu Juemin to every ordinary soldier, they were all grinning from ear to ear. They had never thought that a war could be fought in this way.
Some soldiers even whispered among themselves, wondering: "Are we serving as soldiers or thieves? Why don't we fight on the battlefield instead of plundering the governor's mansion, and robbing the prefectures one after another?"
If they return to Chiyu and someone asks them about this experience, will they believe this?
Tian Fangyue, Xie Fengyang and Luo Lanxue finally decided to wait and see. According to the past practice of the Chiyu Army, they would sweep through the governorates of various provinces one by one. If they rushed to Luoyun City in a hurry, once the Chiyu Army counterattacked and occupied another provincial city, they would not be able to afford such losses and troubles.
However, this time, the Chiyu Army suddenly changed its strategy and tactics. Instead of continuing to capture the city, they turned to other small cities around Luoyun City to clear out the city...
The small city of Purging the Mortal World could no longer satisfy Xu Qian's greed, because Xia Zhongnan had chosen three immortal cities as his targets for the first time, which actually made her more ambitious. Now she always encouraged Xia Zhongnan to find a strategy to capture another immortal city, to which Xia Zhongnan could only shake his head and respond: "Our action is a battle of cultivation, how can we do whatever we want? Even if the city is insignificant, it is still a cultivation resource and should not be easily missed."
Xu Qian retorted: "Don't try to fool me. I have already seen through your intentions. In your hands, this battle of cultivation is like a child's play. Then think about it, where is the next target that would be more suitable?"
Lang Zhengfeng always accompanied the two of them, listening to their conversation. The "Great Demon-Slaying General" couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Alas, do you remember what you are fighting? To me, it's more like traveling in the fairyland and slaying demons! Traveling in the fairyland and fighting for territory, no, it should be said that while traveling in the fairyland, you are intercepting cultivation resources! I have been on the battlefield for decades, and today I have seen an unprecedented scene."
Until Tian Fangyue and others were still hesitating and struggling, and the Blazing Immortal Sect's monk cavalry swept through several small cities again, Xia Zhongnan finally made a new decision: "The time to attack the next Immortal Palace city has come!"
