First, the coal stove in the mine has been set up and enough coal has been stored. If we leave now, it will be difficult to find a better garrison point than Brass Trench.
The King of Qin would not just watch Jin Feng return to Sichuan, he would definitely send people to stop him along the way.
If we can't find a suitable garrison point by then, the situation will be even more passive than now. It's better to stay here and kill a few more party members.
Second, the appearance of Hai Dongqing made Jin Feng aware of the crisis and realized that his previous methods were too merciful.
Before, he had been thinking of using a gentle policy to slowly recover the Eastern Barbarian Dangxiang and Tubo, so that the losses would be minimal for both the enemy and ourselves, and recovery would be faster after the three territories were recovered.
However, the dignitaries of the Eastern Barbarians and Dangxiang saw his intentions and launched southern expeditions one after another.
Because of their southern expedition, more than a million people in Qin had to leave their homes and head south in a hurry.
Even though the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce provided rescue and organization along the way, the weather was too cold. Along the way, countless people fell down before reaching Sichuan and Shu.
If the scouts hadn't desperately injured Hai Dongqing and killed the Dongman falconer, they would still be blocked by the King of Qin's army and unable to move.
So when Jin Feng sent the scouts away, he made a decision in his mind.
If this experiment is successful, he will definitely keep Dang Xiang's army in the south!
Last year in Qingshui Valley, although he won the battle, Chen Ji released the captured party members.
In addition, Jin Feng's previous methods were not tough enough, which made the Dangxiang people have no fear of failure.
This time he wants to scare the party members and let them know that there will be a price to pay for the failure of the Southern Expedition!
So Jin Feng did not choose to retreat, but asked people to transport food and grass, and was prepared for a protracted war!
Jin Feng's prestige among the Shu army was so high that although some generals felt that they should return in time, they did not dare to speak out when they saw Jin Feng's resolute attitude.
That night, Zhang Liang sent two more teams of scouts. One team rushed to Dashan Pass and informed the Dashan Pass guard that they would deliver grain, grass and hot air balloons as soon as possible. The second team went back to report the news to the Ninth Princess.
Li Didi knew that Sichuan and Sichuan needed a victory to inspire people, so he immediately rushed out a manuscript and asked the scouts to take it back.
On the second day, the focus of Zhuangzhuanggou's work began to slowly shift from defense to offense.
As soon as the hot air balloon arrives, the Shu army will take the initiative to attack Dang Xiang's southern expedition!
It was at noon that day that Chen Anjie, led by the scouts, bypassed the blockade of the scouts from the east and rushed to the Dangxiang camp.
Li Lingrui didn't know about Wutou Mountain yet, so he was quite surprised to learn that Chen Anjie was here.
Before, he had been asking Chen Anjie to initiate the attack, but Chen Anjie refused, which made Li Lingrui very dissatisfied.
In order to kill Chen Anjie's energy, Li Lingrui deliberately waited for him for half an hour before going to see him.
On the way here, he was still thinking about how to force Chen Anjie to take the initiative to attack Zhuangzigou, but when he saw Chen Anjie in the tent, Li Lingrui was stunned.
Because Chen Anjie and his party were in such a sorry state.
Not to mention the personal guards, even Chen Anjie was covered in mud, his hair was as messy as weeds, and there were dried blood stains all over his body. He looked very miserable.
If the Dangxiang scout who had met Chen Anjie hadn't introduced him beside him, Li Lingrui wouldn't have believed that this was the most valued son of King Qin.
"Your Highness, what happened to make you come to me in such a hurry?"
Li Lingrui didn't even know how to greet Chen Anjie.
Should you ask him directly, why are you in such a miserable state?
Chen Anjie's current status is naturally due to his extraordinary qualities.
Not to mention anything else, just because he had the courage to come to Xiangnan to conquer the army, he was much stronger than the other sons of King Qin.
On the way here, Chen Anjie guessed that Li Lingrui would react like this, and said calmly: "Jin Feng found a way to deal with Hai Dongqing and launched a sneak attack on Wutou Mountain!" Bayi Chinese website
"What?" Li Lingrui's voice could not help but rise a few degrees, and his eyes were full of shock.
You must know that his biggest reliance on the southern expedition was not the large number of people, but the falcons that could restrain airships and hot air balloons.
If Jin Feng finds a way to deal with Hai Dongqing, the Nanzheng Army will not be able to kill Jin Feng, and there is no doubt whether he can return to Dangxiang.
"What happened?" Li Lingrui asked, staring at Chen Anjie.
Chen Anjie did not hide anything. He told Li Lingrui about the process of injuring Hai Dongqing with a hot air balloon and then bombing Wutou Mountain with an airship.
After Li Lingrui listened, he remained silent for a long time.
Due to the limited area of Wutou Mountain, the density of King Qin's army was very high, and the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army was similar.
It was too cold in the canyon and the wind was very strong. At several wind shelters, the tents of the Southern Expeditionary Army were also very densely packed.
There is only one road down Wutou Mountain, and the canyon has only two exits, the north and the south.
If the airship blocked these two exits, hundreds of thousands of Southern Expedition troops would also be crowded in the canyon, waiting to be bombed.
However, for dozens of miles nearby, there are valleys and cliffs. Even if the Southern Expeditionary Army wanted to move their camp, the terrain would be similar.
Moreover, this matter is still Chen Anjie's one-sided statement, and Li Lingrui has not yet found anyone to confirm it.
Li Lingrui forced himself to calm down, looked at Chen Anjie and asked, "Then, His Highness, come here, is it..."
This is what Li Lingrui can't figure out.
Wutou Mountain has been breached. Shouldn't Chen Anjie escape to Qin? Why did he come here?
"I am here to save the Sixth Prince!" Chen Anjie replied.
"Save me?"
Li Lingrui looked Chen Anjie up and down, his eyes full of doubts.
Chen Anjie has much more court experience than Li Lingrui, and he can guess what Li Lingrui is thinking at a glance.
However, since he dared to come, he had already thought of his words, smiled, and then asked: "Does the Sixth Prince think that I have the nerve to come and save the prince after he has become like this?"
Li Lingrui didn't answer.
But the lack of an answer is itself an answer.
Chen Anjie didn't care and continued: "I know that the prince is doubting whether what I said is true. It doesn't matter. The prince just sends people to Wutou Mountain to have a look... No, I believe that the prince must be near Wutou Mountain. Scouts have been deployed, and I believe the prince will receive the news soon and know that I am not lying."
Li Lingrui indeed deployed scouts near Wutou Mountain to keep an eye on King Qin's army.
It's just that the scouts need to confirm the casualties of King Qin's army and report to Li Lingrui, so they haven't rushed back yet.
So Li Lingrui actually believed that Chen Anjie was not lying.
Because there is no reason for Chen Anjie to come from Wutou Mountain and tell himself this meaningless lie.
"Then based on what His Highness the Crown Prince sees, how should I respond?" Li Lingrui asked.
When Chen Anjie heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in the corner of his eyes.
He took the risk and came to see Li Lingrui, what he was waiting for was this sentence!
