Daqin: This prince always wants to rebel
Chapter 174 Cao Hong's Guess
At this time, Xu Jin, who was quietly watching the battle, felt the vibration from the "Space Ring" on his left hand, and immediately took out a "Sound Transmitting Jade Slip" from inside.
"General, it's not good. Our army is on the left rear and is being attacked by Da Qin soldiers. Our brothers did not defend tightly and suffered heavy losses." After activating it, a man came from inside.
"What?" Xu Jin's face suddenly changed and he asked, "What's going on? Did you see clearly how many enemy troops came?"
"The generals don't know what's going on. Their sudden appearance is like magic soldiers descending from the sky! Because the night is too dark, we can't see the number of enemies clearly. However, their fighting power is very strong, and brothers are not their match at all."
"Strong combat power?" Xu Jin frowned, thoughtfully.
Suddenly, he thought of something, his heart was shaken, and he thought secretly: "Could it be Cao Ren's three thousand elite soldiers?"
Cao Ren has a group of elite soldiers under his command whose combat effectiveness is high. He knows very well. As for their combat effectiveness, it is still an unsolved mystery.
But what is certain is that almost all the armies that fought against them suffered heavy losses, and were even almost wiped out.
He had heard from several colleagues he encountered before that because they underestimated the opponent's small number, they suffered defeat on the battlefield and eventually ran away without their armor.
"Well, Cao Ren, I didn't expect you to play such a trick with me, the general!" Xu Jin's face looked a little unhappy.
What Cao Ren did was to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there were tigers in the mountain, and he was well prepared.
After calming down, Xu Jin said: "Lead your troops to withdraw from the battlefield immediately, and do not continue to fight with the enemy."
"yes!"
The general who received the order immediately conveyed the order after finishing the conversation.
Xu Jin gave an order to another general from the left, asking him to quickly lead his people to evacuate the battlefield.
Now, Cao Ren's three thousand elites have not successfully encircled them, so they must evacuate as soon as possible.
If the opponent succeeds in encircling them, even if they are given wings, they may not be able to escape from the battlefield.
Even if they could escape, the losses would be heavy, and there might even be only a few people escaping.
Under orders one after another, Tianyuan soldiers retreated from the battle as quickly as possible, almost without looking back.
Even if there were enemies behind them, they didn't care at all and were just ordered to retreat backwards.
Cao Ren, holding a long sword and frantically killing the enemy, frowned when he saw the enemy quickly retreating and moving smoothly.
However, through observation, he soon understood that Xu Jin must have been aware of his plan when he asked his men to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Xu Jin's evacuation speed really didn't delay at all!" Cao Ren couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen soldiers retreating so quickly. Even though he had heard stories from his colleagues before, he never expected that the other party would retreat so quickly.
Just run away when something goes wrong.
But think about it, if the situation goes wrong and you don't run away, the only outcome will be death.
Compared to the mindless fight to the end, what Xu Jin did was to make people survive as much as possible.
Only by staying alive can you have a chance to win.
After taking a look around, Cao Ren gave the order to the soldiers to stop the pursuit, and then began to clean up the battlefield.
Don't chase after poor criminals, he still understands this principle.
Although Xu Jin retreated, it did not mean that the opponent would not cheat on the way, or suddenly come back with a killing blow.
Under Cao Ren's order, the Qin soldiers stopped their pursuit and began to clean up the battlefield...
After retreating to a certain distance, Xu Jin learned from the rear that the enemy was not pursuing him, so Xu Jin ordered the army to stop retreating.
For safety reasons, he also ordered people to be alert to the surroundings to avoid sudden attacks by others.
He didn't play his cards according to common sense, and Cao Ren also didn't play his cards according to common sense. If the opponent found a gap, they would suffer heavy losses.
"Cao Ren, you are very powerful this time, but next time we meet, I will definitely make you laugh out loud." Xu Jin said this coldly.
After saying this, he felt doubtful in his heart. Although the people on his side were hidden so well and the people sent by Cao Ren could not see them, how could the other party be prepared in advance?
Is there an internal problem among them? Thinking of this possibility, Xu Jin shook his head and denied it. There couldn't be an internal problem among them, otherwise they would have finished the game many times.
Xu Jin didn't know that the reason why Cao Ren knew that he had set up an ambush was because he had arranged for people to lurk in Beibei Mountain in advance, and no movement was allowed.
And the arrival of his army attracted the attention of the scouts who had been lurking for a long time, which made his plan fail. Otherwise, his plan would definitely cause heavy losses...
At the same time, outside Tianxia City.
As the right general, Cao Hong is leading one hundred thousand soldiers to patrol outside the pass to ensure that the enemy will not attack by surprise.
Although it was very quiet during this period, and they did not do anything excessive or cause too much friction, they still remained extremely wary of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
After all, no one knows what kind of trouble this damn dynasty will cause next?
At night, after patrolling for a while, Cao Hong asked the army to rest and asked someone to bring them a map.
With the help of the "Sun and Moon Stone" illumination, Cao Hong carefully looked at the map in front of him and determined their current route.
After confirming that the route was correct, he put away the map and asked his soldiers to take a rest.
Although they have walked here many times, they still look at the map every time they pass by to make sure they are not walking in the wrong direction.
The main reason for this behavior is that this place is too dark and there is not enough moonlight. In addition, the surrounding terrain is almost the same. If you are not careful, you may go in the wrong direction at any time.
He still remembers that he walked in the wrong direction several times before because he looked in the wrong direction. Although he had corrected it many times, he still walked in the wrong direction.
According to the general above, it is common to go in the wrong direction here at night, and even he himself occasionally makes mistakes.
After resting for half an hour, Cao Hong continued to march out with his army, observing the surrounding situation and seeing if any enemies appeared.
Time flies and it soon comes to midnight.
Looking up at the night, Cao Hong had a smile on his face. When daylight came, they could go back and hand over the patrol tasks to other colleagues.
After walking back for a while, Cao Hong, who was at the front, suddenly stopped moving forward, and his behavior also caused the army behind him to stop advancing.
Cao Hong stopped and asked the army to lead him away. He came to a hill and then looked at the mountains four or five kilometers ahead.
Since they were in a rugged plain, and because he was a warrior, he could see very far away.
After staring at the mountain range with towering trees in front of him for a long time, Cao Hong said calmly: "Zhou Bo."
At this time, a burly, muscular man in his thirties who was among the team quickly ran up to Cao Hong.
He cupped his fists and said, "General, what are your orders?"
"Do you see the mountains ahead?"
"I saw it."
"Take someone to check there and see if there are any traces?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhou Bo cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
After responding to the other party, he turned around and the hundreds of modern soldiers moved forward quickly.
Cao Hong has been silently paying attention to the front.
The main reason why he sent people to that place was because he sensed something was wrong.
It seemed like someone was watching them there.
As for who he was, he didn't know very well.
But what is certain is that if the other person is looking at them, they must be their enemy.
He had already noticed this kind of gaze at the beginning, but he thought it was an illusion at the time, so he didn't pay attention to it.
But just now, he noticed these eyes staring at them again, and the feeling of being watched made him feel very uncomfortable.
He wanted to see which bastard dared to look at them so brazenly.
After running for a distance, Zhou Bo led the people to the mountains and looked around. With a wave of his hand, the hundreds of people behind him immediately transformed into ten teams and looked around.
He even personally led a team to investigate.
Although I don't understand why my general wanted to investigate this place by himself, since the other party gave such an order, he must have a reason.
Besides, their general felt right every time.
After waiting for a long time, Zhou Bo came back with his people.
"General."
"How?" Cao Hong asked with a cold expression.
"We found traces of someone trampling on the area around that mountain range. We will analyze the traces in the future and find that the person should have been there just now, but suddenly left for unknown reasons."
After listening to the other party's story, Cao Hong was basically sure that someone was really watching them just now.
But he was a little confused. What was that guy watching them for? Could he be observing their patrol movements?
The thought of hidden people observing their patrol movements gradually made his face look a little ugly.
On this border, the only people who care so much about their movements are the Tianyuan Dynasty, a court force that is prone to causing trouble.
Zhou Bo spoke again: "General, do we still want to send someone to investigate?"
Cao Hong said: "No need! The people from the Tianyuan Dynasty sent people here, presumably to attack our patrol team. We have to go back and report it to the general."
The enemy paid so much attention to the movements of their patrols that they must have taken advantage of them to suddenly attack and eliminate them when they were alone.
Even if they cannot be eliminated, the enemy will cripple them or beat them until they suffer heavy losses.
After hearing this, Zhou Bo's face sank slightly, and then he followed Cao Hong and left here.
When leaving, Cao Hong did not forget to take another look in front of him, and then left without looking back.
Although I don’t know what the enemy’s actions will be, as long as they dare to come, I will smash all their conspiracies and machinations.
…
Bright morning, Great Qin Dynasty, East Palace.
Qin Lang, who was practicing his sword, stopped practicing when he saw Chen Gui and Qin Xi arriving.
"Brother Prince~"
After shouting, Qin Xi ran towards Qin Lang with a face full of joy.
Upon seeing this, Qin Lang immediately asked him to stop.
Qin Xi looked puzzled, with a bit of grievance in his eyes.
Yuan Bao in her arms also looked confused, not understanding why his master was so alienated from them.
Qin Lang said: "Girl, Gu won't let you get close to Gu because there is too much sweat on Gu's body and it's easy for you to get dirty. I won't let you touch me until Gu finishes washing up."
After hearing such an explanation, Qin Xi immediately felt relieved.
Let the other party stay here while Qin Lang goes to take a shower and change clothes.
Soon, with the help of the palace maid, he finished bathing and changing clothes, and walked under the pavilion.
Qin Xi ran towards him excitedly.
Yuan Bao jumped onto his right shoulder and rubbed his face affectionately, looking very happy.
Qin Lang reached out and touched Yuan Bao, then picked up Qin Xi, and then said with a smile: "Xi'er, why are you interested in coming to the palace today?"
Every few days, Qin Xi would enter the palace and go to the palace where Yuling was to play with his two sisters.
Due to the emperor's order and her unique token, Qin Xi's entry and exit into the palace was as easy as entering and exiting her own house.
However, this is limited to himself.
Yuanbao is an exception.
If Qin Xi entered the palace, the housekeeper who escorted her would be stopped outside the palace gate, while she would be brought into the palace to see the emperor by the guards.
Finally, the emperor arranged for her to enter the harem.
"Daddy is teaching Shi Shi how to do things. There is no one to play with me, so I asked Grandpa the housekeeper to take me into the palace to find you and play with my two sisters." Qin Xi responded with a sweet voice.
Qin Lang said: "Then why don't you go to the clan mansion with your father?"
The fifteenth person Qin Xi mentioned was surprisingly the fifteenth prince Qin Tan.
As for why Qin Xi calls him Fifteen? This is mainly because Qin Tianyuan has said before that in terms of seniority, she is everyone's elder sister.
At that time, Qin Xi cried for a long time because of this incident.
However, under Qin Tianyuan's persuasion, Qin Xi finally accepted the reality.
But one thing hasn't changed, that is, this girl often calls Qin Lang the prince's brother.
Although Qin Tianyuan asked her to change her title, she was already used to it and didn't want to change it at all.
Qin Tianyuan had no choice but to accept this.
When my daughter grows up, she will change her name.
"The Clan's Mansion is too boring, and those people are just like wood. I don't want to go there at all." Qin Xi simply explained why he didn't want to go to the "Clan's Mansion".
After being stunned for a few seconds, Qin Lang suddenly felt relieved.
The natural way in the "Zongren Mansion" is very dry and dry, giving people the feeling of being deserted and completely lifeless.
I can't even accept the atmosphere there, not to mention this girl's mind is only a few years old.
"Since you have entered the palace, I will take you to the harem and let you play with your two sisters."
"Great!"
An excited smile appeared on Qin Xi's face.
Although Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaoxi couldn't speak and just screamed, she felt very happy every time they got together with the two little guys.
Especially watching them grow up day by day.
Qin Xi couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face when he thought that he would be called sister by them in the future.
After squeezing her soft little face, Qin Lang hugged her and left together, riding an ancient water antelope horse carriage to the royal study.
Qin Xi can enter the harem unimpeded.
But as a man and a prince, Qin Lang could not enter the harem at will.
Only with the emperor's permission and sending someone to accompany him could he enter the harem.
Without the emperor's permission, let alone entering the harem, I'm afraid it would be a problem to get close to the empress dowagers.
Soon, under the leadership of Wang Wei, the whole family arrived at the Imperial Study Room and saw Qin Tianlong who was correcting the memorial.
"Uncle Emperor~"
Qin Xi, who had just entered the imperial study and got out of Qin Lang's arms, shouted in a sweet voice and ran towards Qin Tianlong.
