Xiaocao was very nervous at this time. She took out the household registration that could prove her identity from her arms, handed it to Xing Yun and murmured, "When the accident happened, I fled to the back mountain with my brother. When we went back the next day, my parents had been killed and the village had been looted!" After that, tears burst out uncontrollably.

Xing Yun was shocked when he heard Xiaocao's story. How could he not have received any news about the fall of Lulu County by the Hu people? Xing Yun looked up Xiaocao's household registration information and confirmed that she was indeed from Lulu County.

Xing Yun did not dare to delay. It had been three days since the incident happened, but he had not received any news. The situation in Lulu County must be very serious at this time. The patrol troops led by Wang Yao might have been blocked, otherwise why didn't he receive any news of help?

Xing Yun clasped his fists and thanked Li Yan and her group: "Thank you Miss Li for the information. I will send someone to verify it right away! Be careful on your way back!" After that, he rushed into the camp in a hurry.

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the message being passed on. It seemed that her idea was correct. General Xing obviously had not received the news of the Hu people's attack. However, Li Yan did not know why the Hu people did not intercept them here.

Since the message had been delivered, Li Dalang and his companions did not stay any longer and urged them to get in the car and drive home.

Xing Yun returned to the main camp and summoned the generals from the four major camps overnight. "I just received news that Lulu County was attacked by the Hu people on New Year's Eve, and we haven't received any news at all! This matter cannot be delayed. The vanguard battalions of the first and second battalions will mobilize 10,000 cavalry and immediately accompany me to Lulu County to investigate the situation!"

The commanders of the four camps were shocked when they heard Xing Yun's words. "Is the General's source of information trustworthy? Captain Wang led two thousand elite soldiers to patrol the border years ago. If he encountered danger, he would have sent a message back. How could there be no news at all?"

This was also what Xing Yun was puzzled about. From Lulu County to this place, it would take only a day to travel by horseback. The Hu people had not continued to move south, and there was no news. Wang Yao and his men must be in dire straits. Thinking of this, Xing Yun felt that the situation was even more critical: "Go and count the number of people immediately, and assemble and set off in a quarter of an hour!"

After receiving the order, the young general of the vanguard camp immediately went to gather troops.

After they left, Xing Yun addressed the commanders of the four camps, "I will lead 10,000 cavalrymen to investigate first. Captain Wu, you will follow with the 50,000 men from the first battalion. This incident happened suddenly, so I must depart immediately. The commanders of the four battalions will discuss and arrange the food and fodder the soldiers need!"

The generals from the four camps nodded in understanding. They all felt the urgency of the situation.

The Hu people were marching southwards and slaughtering the people of the northwest. Captain Wang's elite troops had lost contact, and it was clear that the situation was not normal. They had to take action to deal with the current situation.

In the remaining quarter of an hour, the generals of each camp acted quickly, organized the troops to count the number of people, and began to arrange the preparation of food and supplies to ensure the supply and logistical support of the soldiers during the march.

When everything was ready, a quarter of an hour later, the 10,000 cavalrymen of the vanguard camp had assembled.

Xing Yun took the reins from his personal guard, and without further delay, he mounted his horse and led 10,000 cavalrymen away.

Even in the dark, the soldiers of the vanguard camp marched very fast. During the march, Xing Yun did not forget to send scouts to the front to gather intelligence. The closer they got to Lulu County, the more cautiously they advanced, always remaining vigilant to avoid alerting the enemy and exposing their whereabouts.
