874. X II

Unlike Xia Ji's giggling, Qin Kai didn't feel the slightest joy because he escaped the Pingzhou Army's detection again. On the contrary, his face was very dignified, with a sense of urgency that a big battle was coming.

Xia Ji also noticed Qin Kai's strange behavior, and she couldn't help but teased: "General Qin is frowning, but it's caused by loneliness in the middle of the night? Would you like me to help the general 'resolve problems' tonight!"

"Ma'am, you are joking. Everything I think about is related to military and political affairs. Let's put aside the love of children and so on!"

"Oh? The current situation is very good. The enemy has searched four times but failed to find our army. What is the general still worried about?"

Hearing what Qin Kai said, Xia Ji also became interested. Although the victory or defeat of this battle has little effect on her, she is also interested in hearing what Qin Kai is thinking.

Qin Kai glanced at Xia Ji speechlessly, and really had no hope for this temptress who only had a chest but no brain.

On the contrary, the deputy general beside Qin Kai saw this, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he took the initiative to explain: "Ma'am, we are not avoiding for the sake of avoiding. The general used a trick to confuse the enemy's sight, and took the opportunity to raid a huge city. Stand firm behind enemy lines.

But now, although the enemy army has not been able to find our army for a long time, the enemy general's command is extremely conservative and steady. Today, every major city is so heavily defended that we have no chance at all. If things go on like this, how can we complete the tasks assigned by the two generals Wu and Le? What's more, our army's food and supplies are running out, so it's not a long-term strategy to stay here! "

After hearing the lieutenant general's explanation, Xia Ji smiled resentfully, with a slightly embarrassed expression. No matter in the historical records or in the flames of war, Xia Ji never showed any military and political talents. In terms of military affairs, she is a fool in front of Qin Kai!

Seeing the half-smiles that everyone gave her, Xia Ji immediately turned cold, and snorted coldly: "My family is a woman in the world, and I don't know anything about military affairs. You should take care of the next big battle. My family is going to take a nap. .”

"Go madam, please don't forget to pay attention to those enemy scouts who accidentally entered the maze."

Xia Ji didn't speak, but waved her small handkerchief to signal that she understood.

For this, Qin Kai could only sigh. Although this Xia Ji has no brains, she is quite capable. It is rumored that her kung fu is the best in the world, which makes people taste the essence. Many bigwigs in the heavenly world have had an affair with her, even Qin Kai dare not offend her rashly.

"General, what should we do next? When we came to the enemy's rear, our army did not have much food and supplies. Fortunately, we looted a lot at the beginning, otherwise we would have run out of food. Even so, our army's existing food is not enough. It's only enough for half a month, if we can't break the deadlock as soon as possible, I'm afraid the situation will become more and more unfavorable to us!"

After seeing Xia Ji leave, everyone really started to discuss military affairs. The deputy general was even more worried, and spoke first.

"How is the situation at General Wu's place?"

"Not very optimistic. The enemy's resistance is very tenacious. Although General Wu has killed nearly 300,000 enemies, the enemy has not shown any obvious signs of decline."

"Where's that Xuetu? Has he made any big moves recently?"

The lieutenant general shook his head again, and said with a disappointed face: "No, he just directed the army to put out more than a dozen small-scale rebellions recently, and sorted out and suppressed the chaos we caused before, without any other major actions."

After hesitating for a while, the deputy general continued: "However, during this process, that Wang Shu's methods were extremely ruthless and cruel. He not only killed all the rebels we organized, but also slaughtered many innocent people. In just over ten days At that time, the total number of people who died at the hands of that army was no less than two million."

The lieutenant general was still a little annoyed about Shurawei's massacre of rebellious people, but Qin Kai remained expressionless. Once a general is successful, his bones will be exhausted, and at Qin Kai's level, two million soldiers and civilians will be killed or injured, which is no longer enough to affect his mind.

Hearing one bad news after another, Qin Kai didn't change his face. He has encountered even more desperate situations, and the current small problem is not enough to make him lose his sense of control.

What's more, even if this battle really fails, it doesn't matter!

"Tell me, what would that blood slaughterer do if he suddenly found out about our army?" Qin Kai spoke slowly, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was asking the lieutenant general.

The lieutenant general smiled and said: "Of course I was overjoyed, and then dispatched troops to encircle and suppress. Although our army has an advantage in average combat power, the enemy's strength advantage is too obvious, and the chances of winning a decisive battle with the enemy are extremely high!"

"Then let's take the initiative to expose some whereabouts!"

Qin Kai turned around suddenly and said firmly.

"General, what do you mean by 'leading the snake out of its hole'?"

……………………………

In Wang Shu's tent.

"General Qi, the fourth round of investigation has ended, but no enemy troops have been found." A blood-clothed general came to Wang Shu and reported expressionlessly.

"call--"

Wang Shu let out a long breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "Send an order to start the fifth comprehensive search, let Shura Wei personally lead the team to investigate! Even an ant nest must not be let go!"

"Yes, General."

The blood-clothed general went down to deliver orders. After he left, Wang Shu slapped the table in front of him hard. A palm print half an inch deep was immediately photographed on the table made of precious solid wood!

In the previous investigation operations, Wang Shu did not send Shurawei. On the one hand, the Asura Guards are not good at scouting, and are far inferior to full-time troops such as Yingyi and Miwu in scouting the enemy's situation. On the other hand, Wang Shu needs to ensure that Shurawei is always in a state of high readiness, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

However, the successive defeats made Wang Shuzai unable to sit still, so he could only send Shura Wei to investigate in person. In fact, Wang Shu really didn't have much confidence in whether Shura Wei could find out anything. His greater purpose in doing this is to put pressure on the following.

The lord and general's troops have been sent down to search. You scouts and Qingqi should be more careful?

After a while, Wang Shu's anger subsided a little. Looking at the table that was smashed in his rage, Wang Shu gave a wry smile, closed his eyes and sat down, silently using [Sura Bingxin Jue] to calm down.

After a while, Wang Shu opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, there was no wave in the ancient well, and there was no negative emotion such as anger at all.

Staring blankly at the map on the table, Wang Shu suddenly had an idea and shouted: "Send the order, call all the senior generals to discuss immediately!"

After a while, many senior generals hurried to the hall where Wang Shu was.

"Everyone, in view of the current situation, I have decided to change my strategy. All the troops stationed in the major cities are dispatched to conduct a carpet search, and use all methods to find the enemy!"

"General!"

"inappropriate!"

"Think twice, general!"

………………

As soon as Wang Shu finished speaking, everyone was startled and got up one after another, ready to persuade them.

Only Qin Ping, who knew Wang Shu's character better, frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that General Wang is planning to 'lead the snake out of the hole'?"

"Hahaha!"

Wang Shu laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said loudly: "The one who knows me is Zizheng!"
