It was already midnight when Monkey and the scouts returned to Brass Valley, but Jin Feng, Zhang Liang and others were still waiting in the combat command room.
Zhang Liang didn't take the initiative to ask this time, because he knew the mission was completed as soon as he saw the monkey's sullen expression.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was silent, Jin Feng took the initiative and asked, "How are you, brothers?"
"Thanks to Mr., we are all fine this time!" the monkey replied with a smile.
"That's good," Jin Feng nodded, and then asked: "What's the situation with King Qin's army?"
When it came to business, the monkey's expression became serious, and he said to the scout beside him: "Black Donkey, you came up to see it, please tell me sir."
"Yes!" Black Donkey saluted Jin Feng and said, "While we were conducting reconnaissance, King Qin's army was about to start eating. Judging from the number of people queuing up for food and the number of tents, there were about 50,000 to 60,000 people in King Qin's army."
"Five to sixty thousand people..." Jin Feng and Zhang Liang looked at each other, and both saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Let's not talk about whether the Qin army was hiding people in tents to confuse the scouts. The fifty or sixty thousand people the scouts saw, occupying the terrain advantage of Wutou Mountain, were enough to stop the Shu army.
Jin Feng frowned slightly, knowing that he had encountered the biggest dilemma since coming to this world.
"No wonder Li Lingrui walked this way calmly, it turns out he knew someone was stopping us from behind!"
Zuo Feifei said coldly: "King Qin, this bastard, is a Han Chinese, but he colluded with the barbarians to become a traitor!"
"This is not the first time he has become a traitor!" Zhang Liang said coldly: "Both the King of Qin and the King of Jin would not regret their death!"
When Jin Feng was trapped in the East China Sea, Feng Sheng led the Tibetan army and suddenly surrounded Xihe Bay. It would have been impossible to do this without King Qin giving way.
It was precisely because of this incident that Jin Feng and Ninth Princess decided to abandon the relatively wealthy Guanzhong land in Qin and instead sent people to attack the relatively poor counties of Western Qin.
According to Jin Feng's plan, after breaking through several counties in the Western Qin Dynasty, he would launch attacks from the west and south at the same time and surround Guanzhong.
Unfortunately, the plan was only half implemented. Although several counties in Western Qin were captured, Haidongqing appeared before they had time to stabilize the situation.
Then King Qin stabbed Jin Feng in the back again.
If it were in the past, Jin Feng would definitely have criticized King Qin a few words, but after these recent events, Jin Feng has grown a lot and has become calmer than before.
After returning from the East China Sea, Jin Feng was very angry at the behavior of King Qin, King Wu and others, and even gave an order to Qing Xinyao to capture King Qin alive, but King Qin, King Wu and others taught Jin Feng a lesson.
Although he has more advanced weapons such as airships, it is much harder than Jin Feng imagined to capture these entrenched old dignitaries!
In the previous life, there were satellites all over the place, and it was difficult for terrorists to find them even if they drilled into the mountains. What's more, Jin Feng only had hot air balloons?
There are countless mountains, large and small, in the land of China. The airship from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has not yet arrived, but King Qin and others have gone deep into the mountains and forests. Where can Jin Feng find them?
Not to mention these powerful people, when the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau raided local tyrants to allocate their land, they mostly caught landowners who had little information. As for wealthy families with some background, almost all of them got the information in advance and ran away.
So Jin Feng understands that unless he completely controls the Central Plains, it will be really difficult to dig out these old dignitaries!
Because of this, Jin Feng has become more pragmatic now, saying less but doing more than before.
For example, even Zuo Feifei, Qing Mulan and others didn't know about the Black Cloud tribe's ambush and the ambush of the transport team before it actually happened. Only those who participated in it knew the plan.
"By the way, sir, something else happened today!"
The monkey said, recounting the matter of frying the seaweed in the kerosene barrel: "Sir, the Dongman people will definitely not give too many seaweeds to King Qin. You said that if we use this method to kill their seaweeds, right?
Can we capture Wutou Mountain?"
"This is a good idea," Jin Feng was a little surprised when he heard this.
If the threat of Haidongqing can be resolved, not only will the dilemma here be solved, but the situation in Sichuan and Shu will be greatly improved!
"Monkey, make a plan next time and try to kill Hai Dongqing in one fell swoop next time!" Jin Feng explained.
"Yes!" Monkey nodded solemnly: "I will go to the flying team to get two more hot air balloons later and see how I can get them!"
"You haven't slept for several days and nights. Go back and take a nap to recuperate."
Next, Jin Feng asked the scouts some more details, then asked Zhang Liang to dismiss the meeting and take everyone back to rest.
Jin Feng also took Zuo Feifei back to the small courtyard at the back.
"Sir, let me get you some water to wash your feet." Zuo Feifei squatted down and helped Jin Feng take off his shoes and said.
Although the two have the name of husband and wife and the reality of being husband and wife, Zuo Feifei is still used to calling Jin Feng sir.
Qing Mulan even teased Zuo Feifei twice for this reason, but Zuo Feifei never changed her tune, so Jin Feng just let her go.
"No, please bring me the march map." Jin Feng waved his hand and said.
Zuo Feifei quickly ran to the main room, picked up a hand-drawn march map from the table, and handed it to Jin Feng.
"Stop standing and go to sleep."
Jin Feng reached out and pulled Zuo Feifei.
Zuo Feifei is the commander of the female work team and has as many busy tasks as Jin Feng every day, but she insists on taking care of Jin Feng personally.
Since going to Yuguan City, Zuo Feifei has lost a lot of weight.
Zuo Feifei couldn't resist Jin Feng and was pulled into bed by him.
Originally, she wanted to accompany Jin Feng to look at the map, but she was so tired that she fell asleep after lying down for a while.
When Zuo Feifei opened her eyes again, Jin Feng was gone.
I turned to look at the window and found that the sky was already getting slightly brighter.
Zuo Feifei quickly put on her clothes, opened the door and asked, "Where is sir?"
The female guard guarding the door replied: "Sir, he went out before dawn."
"Then why didn't you call me?" Zuo Feifei blamed.
"Sir, Madam, you haven't had a good rest recently and you won't let me call you." The guard replied helplessly.
According to military rules, if the orders issued by two generals are different, the higher-ranking general shall prevail.
Zuo Feifei knew there was no need to embarrass a personal guard, so she picked up her hat from the hanger and left.
I originally thought that Jin Feng was in the combat command room, but when I arrived, I couldn't find Jin Feng. After asking around, I found out that Jin Feng had climbed to the top of the highest mountain.
"Sir, why are you here?" Zuo Feifei said, putting the hat on Jin Feng's head.
"If you can't sleep, come to the mountain to watch the sunrise."
Jin Feng smiled and said: "You came just in time, let's watch together."
Last night, Jin Feng had been thinking about the monkey's suggestion. He didn't fall asleep until dawn, so he simply stopped sleeping and came to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise and take a breather.
