Just as the remaining two million people of the Great Jin gathered in the woods outside You County, two counties away from Hai County, to rest.

The mother tiger couldn't find any trace of her cubs all day long. The area outside Prince Fu's palace was filled with the smell of blood, which lasted for a whole day and night to dissipate.

The tiger parents finally dug out the tiger cub's stiff body from the soil in the river.

The tiger couple was grief-stricken and called out to their cub in a low voice, but the cub's body was covered with knife marks and blood.

Everything tells the two tigers what kind of torture the tiger cub suffered in his life, which was not the torture that a tiger should endure.

The two tigers sniffed the cub vigorously back and forth, and the cub's stiff body swayed back and forth with the movements of its parents.

Finally, I smelled a different yet familiar scent in the tiger cub's mouth.

The tiger father and mother looked at each other, narrowed their eyes, and looked in the direction where the Jin army was retreating.

Then he sadly reburied the tiger cub and followed the traces all the way.

At this time, five miles outside You County City, there were torches everywhere and people busy cooking.

Bu Jing and the little prince Suritu were kneeling in front of the Khan. They had been kneeling for an hour.

The reason was that after the army fled two hundred miles away from Prince Fu's palace yesterday, someone threatened to punish the little prince who caused the death of the tiger cub.

She was afraid that her son would lose the Khan's favor, so she pretended to faint.

The Khan was so angry that he slapped his youngest son several times.

The little prince cried loudly, asking his mother if she didn't love him anymore.

After all, they were his most beloved concubine and son, and the child was so young, so his heart softened.

After beating him, he gave the little prince some advice and let him go to find his mother.

Who would have thought that today the eldest prince would bring up this matter, saying that the two tigers would follow the scent and come to avenge the tiger cub.

He joined forces with other princes to demand severe punishment for the mother and son, which led to the scene of kneeling before the Khan today.

The Khan was frightened when he thought of the two beasts that were more than twice the size of normal tigers, and finally stopped protecting the mother and son.

After all, the child is too young to be punished too harshly, so he is made to kneel for two hours every day.

For the pampered mother and son, this punishment was both humiliating and painful.

I just knelt for an hour today and my knees are already hurting terribly.

Bu Jing raised her palm-sized face, trying to seek Khan's sympathy.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Guo had the mother and son dragged outside and made them kneel.

The Khan was also feeling a little guilty at this time, because because of his favor, the little prince, who was only young but had a vicious mind, had caused such a big disaster.

When he heard his eldest lady's words, he didn't dare to refute them at all. He turned around silently and pretended not to hear or see them.

"Khan, we are almost at You County. There is only one more county to go to Hai County. The Emperor of Daliang must be there."

General A of the Great Jin stepped forward and proposed to the Khan, "Yes! Khan, Hai County is by the sea, and there was no land in the past. The Daliang royal family will definitely build ships to go to sea."

General B scratched his head and asked, puzzled, "Why build ships to sail out to sea? Hai County is the last of Daliang's territory. How could we possibly give it up?"

Khan sighed and looked at General B, "Bater, can you use your brain?

Daliang doesn't want to go to sea, so why should we give up Fuya City? How many people can be stationed in Hai County alone?"

Bater pinched his chin and raised his head in contemplation, then suddenly said, "Khan, if they want to build a ship, it will take more than one or two days. Why are we in such a hurry?

The soldiers have been very tired recently, and they have also encountered incidents of wild beasts eating people. I think we should just set up camp here.

Once the large-beam ships are built, we will use them directly."

After hearing this, Khan's eyes lit up and he looked at him with praise.

"Yeah! What Bater said is right. What's the saying in the Central Plains?"

General A said at the right moment, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Khan nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes! That's the saying, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.'"

Haha, wait until Daliang finishes building the ship, and we can go enjoy it too, and let them do all the hard work for us! Haha~~"

The army sent orders to rush to You County and set up camp in the county town.

By the time the army arrived in You County, it was already midnight.

The gates of You County were opened, and the Khan had experienced the defeat in Fuya City last time.

Instead of rushing in, he sent two generals with two teams of soldiers to investigate.

Until the army and the people became impatient, the two generals finally returned with their soldiers.

"Khan, there is no danger inside, you can stay here without worry."

After the Khan laughed heartily, the princes led the way and entered the city first.

You County is a small county with not many towns and villages under its jurisdiction.

Therefore, the county town is much smaller than Haicheng. When everyone entered the city, they found that it was also deserted.

The city was eerily quiet and dilapidated, and the only sound was the sound of the wind blowing through the narrow streets.

The Khan was furious and ordered his men to search everywhere for people and supplies, but no one was found.

At this time, a soldier came to report that he had found a letter in the county government office and handed it over immediately.

The Khan opened the letter and saw the following words: "Daliang has abandoned this city with his people. You should move elsewhere. Do not pursue us. Take care."

The Khan's face darkened. He didn't expect that Daliang would give up You County without hesitation.

He had originally planned to rest here for a while to give Daliang time to build ships, so they could take advantage of the ready-made ones.

Now Daliang has abandoned You County, and the people were able to evacuate it so quickly.

This meant that this wasn't a last-minute decision. It was very likely that Daliang had the ship built in advance!

After thinking for a moment, the Khan decided to lead the Jin army and people to continue advancing, rush to Hai County as soon as possible, and intercept the Daliang ships.

The Khan waved his hand to order the army to march off and continue towards the next county.

But behind him, he saw the people lying on the ground, lifeless, and the officers and soldiers who were seriously injured and looked ashen.

Unable to bear it, he ordered the troops to enter the city for rest.

Because You County is indeed not very large, it is impossible to station so many people there.

The people needed to be relocated, and the eldest prince led several younger brothers and the royal family members to stay in the county government office and inn.

Officials and military generals brought their families and occupied the homes of the people, and half of the injured people and soldiers moved into the city.

Even the streets and under the eaves were filled with people lying everywhere.

In the end, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops were dispersed and arranged beside the moat outside the city.

Now the river is dry, with dead trees on both sides, barely enough for a large army to station.

After settling down and the sky gradually brightened, Dajin finally drank his first sip of hot water.

Just like the previous arrangements to avoid the extreme heat, everyone in Dajin slept during the day, and several teams of officers and soldiers were on patrol.

An officer was in a hurry, so he said hello to his comrades and went to the nearby bushes to release them.

The man found a patch of dry grass where no one could see him, unbuttoned his pants and squatted down.

With a puff, I felt relaxed.

He picked up a piece of soil and wiped it casually. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard a branch snapping behind him.

Since most of the troops were sleeping, everything was quiet at the moment, and the noise was very obvious.

The man thought his comrade was attacking him by surprise, so he picked up a large clod of earth and threw it backwards without any concern.

But there was no expected groaning sound behind him, and the man turned around in confusion.

The small triangular eyes opened wide instantly.
