Jiang Shuan put his hand on his forehead. At this time, he only felt a severe headache.

He had long expected that the South Chu war would probably fail, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly.

Three hundred thousand people... That's three hundred thousand people!

Even if King Huoluo took 400000 troops, he wouldn't have wiped out 300000 people in Xu Ji, would he? No matter how, some of them should escape?!

What's more terrible is that the 300000 people led by Xu Ji not only died here, but also all their armor and weapons were captured by the enemy.

This means that they sent 300000 pairs of armor and weapons to the king of Huoluo for nothing!

Originally, southern Chu could still rely on the number of people and equipment to occupy a certain advantage. Now their number has been reduced by more than half, and they have sent a large number of equipment to the other party. This changes. How can the war continue?!

If Xu Ji were here, Jiang Shuan would rush up and slap him even if he took the following risks!

I have seen useless generals, but he has never seen such useless generals as Xu Ji!

Everyone didn't speak, and the atmosphere became depressed.

Finally, Luo Dongshu couldn't stand the silence and asked, "boss, what should we do next?"

Jiang Shuan rubbed his cheek hard and tried to keep himself calm.

He didn't answer and asked, "do you know where the king of Huoluo went with the main force?"

Luo Dongshu shook his head: "I don't know. Huoluo king is very cautious. They should have a special person responsible for the finishing work. All the ruts and footprints they left at the scene have been cleared away, and the scouts can't find out their whereabouts."

It's a desert. There's sand everywhere. It's very convenient to clean up footprints and ruts. Just cover it with sand.

It is impossible for the soldiers of Southern Chu to open all the sand at the scene. Again, even if they do, they may not be able to find clues.

Jiang Shuan thought intently. Before, he was still wondering why King Huoluo suddenly diverted to crow ridge with his main force. Now he finally knew that King Huoluo came here deliberately to ambush Xu Ji.

From this point of view, the king of Huoluo should have known that Xu Jihui passed through crow ridge with 300000 people. He even knew the plan of Nanchu to set up an ambush in Heifeng valley.

Jiang Shuan became more and more frightened.

If so, there are only two possibilities——

Either King Huoluo really has the magical power of unpredictability, or there are spies in southern Chu!

Jiang Shuan's personal preference is the second possibility.

He doesn't want to think about who is the spy for the time being. The top priority now is to report back to Liangshan pass as soon as possible!

Jiang Shuan immediately ordered people to pile up all the remains of the southern Chu soldiers here, burn them down, and then take the ashes away.

They have to bring the ashes of these 300000 soldiers back to their hometown so that their souls can return to their roots.

Ten thousand soldiers set off again with their ashes.

They were unlucky and encountered a sandstorm on the way.

In order to avoid the sandstorm, Jiang Shuan ran out for a long time with 10000 soldiers. Finally, they found a stone forest. They hid in the stone forest and avoided the terrible sandstorm through the shelter of stones.

When they came out of the stone forest, they found that the surrounding environment was very strange.

Before they patronized the escape, completely did not care about the direction.

Jiang Shuan asked, "where is this?"

Hong Yong, who is most familiar with Xisha, has now become the guide of the officers and men of Southern Chu. He climbed a large stone and looked far into the distance. Finally, he slipped down the stone wall and said with a sad face.

"The sandstorm has changed the terrain around here, and I can't tell where it is."

Luo Dongshu grabbed his sandy hair and said, "so we're lost?"

Hong Yong nodded and said yes.

Jiang Shuan unscrewed the water bag and drank a little water. His throat was so dry that he felt much more comfortable.

Luo Dongshu was jealous of Jiang Shuan. His two water bags had long been drunk.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuan directly handed over his water bag: "you are allowed to have a drink."

Luo Dongshu was overjoyed and quickly took the water bag.

This water bag looks very big, but in fact, only half of the pot is left.

Luo Dongshu is so thirsty that he can't wait to drink up half a pot of water, but he's still not willing. He carefully drank a mouthful of water, and then reluctantly returned the water bag to Jiang Shuan.

He licked his chapped lips and asked, "boss, what can we do now?"

Jiang Shuan said, "let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Wherever you go, you can't stay here anyway."

Jiang Shuan's attitude is very firm. They don't have much water and food left. If they stay in the stone forest, they are likely to die of thirst or starvation. Therefore, they must go out, not only to find their way back, but also to find water and food.

He asked Hong Yong to help point out the way forward.

Hong Yong scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and finally pointed out a direction.

"Let's go in the direction of sunset. I remember there is a small country called sunset. The king of sunset married a woman from southern Chu as the queen. The couple have deep feelings and the whole country is very friendly to southern Chu. In the past, every time we came to Xisha to resell goods, we would specially go to the sunset country. I remember it is located in the west, just in the direction of the sunset. This is also the origin of their names. "

Jiang Shuan asked, "didn't the sunset country send troops to attack our southern Chu this time?"

Hong Yong said truthfully, "I don't know. Anyway, during the period when we were slaves to the Xisha people, we didn't see the people of the sunset country in the Xisha army. We don't know whether the sunset country didn't participate in the war or just staggered with our people."

After careful weighing, Jiang Shuan decided to believe Hong Yong's choice.

Anyway, they have no better choice now. Let's go to the sunset country. Maybe they can find a way to live!

Jiang Shuan gave the order.

"Point together and set out in a whole team!"

Under the leadership of Jiang Shuan, 10000 soldiers left the stone forest and kept moving towards the sunset.

Jiang Shuan originally wanted to hurry back to report, but now they are lost in the vast desert and can't protect themselves, let alone help others.

Now he can only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Chang Yi and Fu Qi can resist and never let Xisha enemy break through the direction of Liangshan pass.

……

Liangshan pass.

A scout with a small flag behind him and a horn around his waist, covered with blood, came galloping on his horse.

A foot away from the gate of Liangshan pass, the scouts loosened the reins and rolled directly from the horse to the ground.

Ignoring his skinned hands, he got up with his hands and feet, rushed up, slapped the city gate hard, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Urgent report! There is an urgent report from the front! Let me go to town! "
