Returning from the hiding place, we found no signs of the Chu people following up, indicating that the withdrawal was fairly secretive.
The troop hiding place is not far from Zhou Lai's camp. Wu Sheng and Jin Wuhuan are both in the God Refining Realm. They gathered their energy and walked quickly, and they arrived in half an hour. The terrain here is very clear in Wu Sheng's Qi Sea World Sandbox, so there is no need to
Exploring around, Wu Sheng went directly to a hill covered with dense forest in the northeast. Although the hill was not high, from the canopy of the trees, Zhou Lai Camp and Wu Jun Camp opposite were clearly visible.
It was already noon, and there was no one on the originally planned battlefield. The battle did not happen. The gates of the Wu camp were closed tightly, and the Chu camp did the same, except that all the fires lit at night were put out.
Wu Sheng guessed that maybe the Chu army sent a letter to the Wu army and postponed the war? Or maybe the Chu camp had a war-free card?
"What should I do if I don't want to fight? Should I put up the no-fight card?" Wu Sheng murmured.
Jin Wuhuan was at a loss: "What is a war-free card?" Then he said: "Maybe it's a letter?"
Wu Sheng regretted a little. He should have investigated with Yuan Sima. Jin Wuhuan was a complete layman on the art of national war, so he could only be brought out as an errand and could not be "prepared for consultation".
The two of them were hiding in the canopy of the trees, quietly observing the movements of the two armies.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and several knights followed, running in the direction of the Ying and Lai Sanguo military camps, and entered the Zhoulai camp.
Not long after, a cloud of smoke and dust rose in the direction of Bagong Mountain, and a convoy of about thirty military vehicles returned with flags drooping and entered Shen Douke's camp.
Jin Wuhuan asked: "Is this a military vehicle chasing us?"
Wu Sheng said: "That's probably it."
The gate of the Chu camp opened wide, and many mounted scouts rushed out, galloping in all directions around them. Jin Wuhuan was full of curiosity: "Are you looking for us?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Probably."
Jin Wuhuan was a little worried: "I'll go take a look and go back to remind Yuan Sima."
Wu Sheng warned: "Be careful..."
After Jin Wuhuan left, Wu Sheng saw batches of scouts scattered in the Chu camp many times. He also saw Wu people visiting by car and barging their own gates to enter.
In the evening, Jin Wuhuan came back again. He happened to see a car coming out of Zhou Lai Camp and heading towards Wu Camp, so he asked, "What are you doing?"
Wu Sheng answered him: "It's Ambassador Wu. I don't know what we talked about. How is Yuan Sima?"
Jin Wuhuan claimed the credit: "Yuan Sima has made careful arrangements... I killed two groups of Chu people's scouts, both going in the opposite direction."
Wu Sheng praised him a few words, and Jin Wuhuan smiled broadly.
At midnight, Wu Sheng suddenly said: "Something's wrong..."
Jin Wuhuan asked: "What's wrong?"
Wu Sheng said: "The Chu people sent out at least a dozen groups of scouts, and only six groups came back. Moreover...from the time of You, no group of scouts has returned to the camp."
Jin Wuhuan became a little nervous: "Those scouts... did they find Yuan Sima? Were they killed by Yuan Sima?"
Wu Sheng shook his head: "That's not what I meant... Let's go and have a look!"
The two came out of the dense forest and gradually approached Zhoulai's camp under the cover of night. They saw that the lights on the walls of the camp were still on, but there were no people on duty in the several archery towers.
Jumping up to the arrow tower, I saw no one below, and the entire camp was in dead silence.
Jin Wuhuan murmured: "Withdrawal of troops? Withdrawal now?"
Wu Sheng said hello, and went straight into the camp with Jin Wuhuan, and rushed to the warehouse. He saw only the granary and the warehouse were empty. There was not a single car or soldier in the yard, only some remnants that had been burned by the fire.
Wu Sheng immediately entered the yard first, dug under a pile of ashes, and soon dug out a chariot. He ordered Jin Wuhuan: "Go and inform Yuan Sima quickly, twenty people will come, and they will arrive before the Wu people can react."
Move your stuff before you come here!”
Jin Wuhuan didn't dare to delay. He left the fashion and wondered why the Chu people withdrew their troops. Even if the allied forces of Yong, Kui and Qi escaped, and counting the losses from the battle three days ago, the total would not be more than ninety times.
For the people of Chu, it was not a big deal, so how could they give up Chulai for this?
Could it be that the fire caused huge losses to the Chu people?
Wu Sheng didn't have time to think about it, so he dug out the chariots one after another. After more than ten chariots were dug out, Yong Zhi, Lu Kuang and others had arrived with Jin Wuhuan. Under Wu Sheng's guidance, they dug out the remaining chariots.
All the cars were dug out.
In addition to the chariots, of course there were also a large number of spiritual materials, magic weapons, elixirs and other good things hidden underground in the warehouse. They were all loaded onto the chariots, and twenty chariots filed out of the opened Nanying Gate.
The Chu people have withdrawn their troops, indicating that they have given up the state. This land therefore belongs to the Wu people. Without the Chu people, Wu Sheng has no use value in front of the Wu people. He does not dare to bet whether the Wu people are still open to him.
Hug, maybe his attack is more ruthless than that of the Chu people?
After returning to the hiding place before dawn and rendezvousing with Yuan Sima, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms immediately set off and headed southwest. Everyone was very anxious, fearing that the Chu people had already attacked the country, so they were eager to return.
In five or six days, the coalition forces entered Yangzhou, which was only more than fifty miles away. After resting for two days, they suddenly rushed into Lumingze in the north of Yangzhou city in the evening.
Lumingze is the largest fiefdom of Shendouke. It has a large area of high-quality mountains, forests, swamps, fields and pastures, fertile water and soil, and rich products. It was a gift from the King of Chu in recognition of his merits.
After two days of investigation, the coalition forces found out the details of Lu Mingze, dispersed more than 80 chariots, and surrounded various settlement points to arrest people and search for food.
Yuan Sima and Wu Sheng personally led troops to attack Yizhuang. How could the small Yizhuang stop these wolf-like guys? Several Shen Douke disciples and dozens of villagers climbed up the wall to protect them, but they were overwhelmed by one of them.
, a large group of coalition forces swarmed in.
While searching for property and arresting people, Wu Sheng asked Dong Da to enter Yangzhou and contact Cui Ming.
After doing such an earth-shattering thing, how could Cui Ming stay here? He came to Lu Mingze overnight, and after meeting Wu Sheng, he sighed and lamented the impermanence of things in the world.
Seeing that he didn't make a fuss, Wu Sheng asked, "Do you know why I beat Lu Mingze?"
Cui Ming nodded.
Wu Sheng said: "Are they a family?"
Cui Ming had no choice but to continue nodding.
Wu Sheng said: "Tell me about it."
Cui Mingdao: "After receiving an urgent message from the state, Huyi has already moved. It should be three days ago. Yangzhou is also gathering troops to prepare for the response."
Huyi is a military town set up by the Chu State in the north of Huyi Mountain. It has hundreds of military vehicles stationed there to monitor the Four Kingdoms and Baiyue. If Huyi moves, it means that it will directly attack the Four Kingdoms.
Cui Ming said again: "I sent someone to Mangdang Mountain, and I had no intention of hiding it from you."
Wu Sheng patted his shoulder: "That's interesting."
Cui Mingdao: "After doing this, you should run away quickly. Mangdang Mountain is not safe either. You have to go south."
Wu Sheng asked back: "Did you know that the Chu army abandoned the state and came?"
Cui Ming nodded: "A letter came from the day before yesterday, saying that Yin was seriously ill and the army retreated to Jifu."
