The team leader thought for a moment and then replied: "After escaping from the mountains, King Qin stopped. I didn't hear anything unusual about him."
"Nothing unusual?" Jin Feng frowned.
"Yes," the team leader nodded: "He must have been frightened by our bombing. After returning to King Qin City, he did not dare to live in the palace. Instead, he lived in a cellar. Every time he went out, he would bring a falcon with him."
When Jin Feng sent airships to bomb the King of Qin's city, the King of Qin fled to the mountains in embarrassment. Now with Haidongqing sent by the Eastern Barbarians, the King of Qin finally dared to come out of the mountains.
But he was almost killed by an airship and the palace was blown down, which left a deep psychological shadow on King Qin. Even now that Hai Dongqing is there, King Qin no longer dares to live in the palace.
"Where is the army under King Qin? Have there been any unusual movements recently?" Jin Feng glanced at the team leader helplessly and asked another question.
Only then did the team leader understand the true intention of Jin Feng's question, and quickly replied: "Mr. Reporter, because our main force has retreated, there are almost no people in the western part of Qin, so there are relatively few brothers there. I have not been there for more than ten days."
I’ve received news from Qin Di!”
Before Hai Dongqing appeared, the Tielin army led by Qinghuai and the bodyguards led by Da Zhuang made the King of Qin's army flee. They captured several western counties of Qin in a very short period of time and completed the work of dividing the land among local tyrants.
.
Later, the Dangxiang invaded the south. In order to stop the southern expedition, Jin Feng almost demobilized all the troops in the Qin Dynasty, and the newly established militia team assisted the remaining bodyguards to maintain public order.
The people of Qin got real benefits from the local tyrants' land distribution, so they naturally protected the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, in the early stage of the withdrawal of the main bodyguards, the situation in the western counties of Qin was relatively stable.
However, when the main force of the bodyguards confronted Dangxiang's southern expeditionary army at the border and the bodyguards could no longer escape, the Qin army became disloyal and began to assemble men with the intention of recapturing several western counties.
At the beginning, with the support of the people, the bodyguards could still resist the Qin army. However, as more and more Qin soldiers gathered, the militiamen who assisted the bodyguards began to be afraid, and the balance of the war began to tilt towards the Qin army.
The army tilted.
At that time, Jin Feng went to Yuguan City, and the Ninth Princess could not find any manpower to reinforce Qin for a while. She could only order the bodyguards to gather men to resist the King of Qin's army, and then asked the Zhongming Group to mobilize the people to take refuge in Sichuan and Shu.
Whether Dangxiang invades Dakang from Xizhou or Qingshui Valley, he has to pass through Qin, so every time Dangxiang invades south, the people of Qin will suffer.
Coupled with the publicity of Jinchuan Daily and stage plays, many people in Qin responded to the mobilization of the Bell Group and followed the caravan to Sichuan.
Of course, it is difficult to leave one's homeland, and many people are unwilling to leave their hometown for Sichuan and choose to stay.
For such people, the Zhongming Group usually comes to the door and mobilizes them twice. If they still choose to stay after two times, the Zhongming Group will not take care of them.
After the people who were willing to leave had left, the bodyguards also began to retreat to support Xizhou.
When the escorts left, those people who chose to stay realized that they had made the wrong choice!
In order to vent their anger, the King of Qin's army took out all of their anger on them. Almost all the people who chose to stay regretted it and immediately set off to pursue the large forces of the Chamber of Commerce if they could.
The retreat started from north to south. Some people in the central and southern parts were hesitant and wanted to stay, but when they learned that they would be retaliated by the King of Qin's army if they stayed, they gave up the idea of staying.
The counties in Qin that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau had previously captured, except for Xizhou County, were now back in the hands of the King of Qin.
However, almost all the people in these places were taken away by Zhong Ming's group. The grain that was confiscated by the local tyrants who were divided into fields was also taken away by the people. What the King of Qin's army took back was just an empty land.
In the past, the people were here, and the Zhongming Group could rely on the people to collect intelligence. Now that the people are gone, it doesn't make much sense for the Zhongming Group to stay in Qin. Moreover, there is no common people to cover it, and it is difficult to hide, so the members of the Zhongming Group who stayed in Qin are
Running out.
Even the team leader focused his main energy on gathering information about the party and no longer paid attention to Qin Di.
"It's been more than ten days since I received any news from Qin Di?"
When Jin Feng heard what the squad leader said, he knew something was wrong. He glared at the squad leader and shouted, "Why isn't such important information reported in time?"
Anyone who knows something about Jin Feng knows that he rarely loses his temper, and when he loses his temper, it is definitely a big deal.
The team leader was frightened at that time. He was about to kneel down to Jin Feng and kept saying: "I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Seeing this scene, Jin Feng felt even more helpless.
The squad leader was sincere in admitting his mistake, but Jin Feng could tell that he had no idea where he went wrong.
There is nothing we can do about it. This team leader is just an ordinary farmer in Jinchuan. He was chosen to be the team leader because he joined the Zhongming Group early and is a little more flexible than other farmers.
If he hadn't participated in literacy classes during training, he might not even be able to write his own name now.
His overall quality cannot be compared with that of a real spy.
Jin Feng also knew that there was no need to vent his anger on the squad leader now, so he ignored him and turned to look at Zhang Liang: "Send people to Qin immediately. I want to know what the King of Qin is doing and how many troops he still has.
, where are they all!”
"Yes!" Zhang Liang finally realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly arranged for manpower.
After burning incense, a group of cavalry rushed out of Brass Valley and headed southeast.
In order to prevent further problems, Zhang Liang directly sent out one-third of his most elite hidden stakes this time, and also asked Monkey to arrange two squads of scouts to assist in the investigation.
With such a big loophole, Jin Feng was not in the mood to deal with other matters. While arranging Zhang Liang to increase the defense and patrol forces in the southern section, he anxiously waited for feedback from the scouts.
Although Zhuangzhuanggou itself belonged to the Qin Dynasty, it took time to gather information. Jin Feng thought it would take a few days for the scouts to come back. Who knew that in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Sir, the scouts are back!" Hammer shouted from outside.
"Why so fast?"
Instead of feeling happy, Jin Feng felt a bad feeling and quickly sat up.
Zuo Feifei didn't bother to dress herself, jumped out of bed wrapped in a sheet, took Jin Feng's clothes and helped Jin Feng get dressed.
After dressing Jin Feng, Zuo Feifei quickly took her own clothes.
A hammer would not knock on the door easily in the middle of the night, and she had a premonition that something big might happen.
Jin Feng didn't wait for Zuo Feifei, looked back, saw that the curtain in the back room had been lowered, and opened the door directly.
He glanced at Iron Hammer standing a few steps away and strode towards the temporary combat command room.
