Jiang Shuan has prepared more than ten traps, all of which are set near the city gate. Because they are well disguised, ordinary people can't find them at all.
Fu Qi kept the location of these traps in mind.
He returned to the city wall and looked into the distance, expecting Jiang Shuan to come back soon.
After waiting for three days, there was no news of Jiang Shuan.
Just when Fu Qi hesitated to send a team out to look for Jiang Shuan, the scouts suddenly came back and reported.
"Enemy tracks found thirty miles outside the city!!"
Fu Qi and Nie Zhenqi immediately ran to Chang Yi to discuss countermeasures.
The news that 300000 troops were killed in battle has dealt a great blow to Chang Yi. He has been ill these days and looks powerless.
At this time, when he learned that the enemy was coming, his face became more and more pale, and his heart was frightened and frightened.
Fortunately, he is a veteran who has experienced several wars. In the end, he suppresses the surging emotions in his heart and tries to keep himself calm.
"Send an order to heighten the city wall to prevent the enemy's bow and arrow attack. In addition, send a letter to urge the supplies and grass everywhere. If they can't send the food and grass to Liangshan pass within three days, they will be punished for delaying the military situation! In addition, let the magistrate of Jiuqu County find a way to get more drugs. This is a protracted war. We have to be prepared to stay here. "
Fu Qi tried to ask, "magistrate Zhong of Jiuqu county has a father son relationship with Zhong Jianjun. Now the life and death of Zhong Jianjun is unknown. Shall we tell him about it?"
Chang Yi hesitated for a long time before saying, "tell him."
It's no small matter that 300000 troops were destroyed overnight. Zhong shuran will know sooner or later. It's meaningless to hide.
Chang thought about it and said, "I know you know county magistrate Zhong. You can tell him about it. Haosheng should comfort him and the food, grass and medicine should be done as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Fu Qi left Liangshan pass overnight with a team of 20 guards and hurried to Jiuqu county.
By the time they arrived at Jiuqu county yamen, it was already the next morning.
As soon as Zhong shuran woke up, he heard pumpkin shouting outside the door.
"Sir, the son of God has come and said he has something important to tell you. Come out quickly!"
Zhong shuran quickly put on his clothes, washed his face casually, and hurried into the main room.
Fu Qi was very tired because of the pressure in recent days and the driving all night. At present, the two groups of bright black circles under his eyes, but even so, he still braced up and chatted with Zhong Shu.
Zhong shuran noticed that he was absent-minded and asked on his own initiative, "Shizi, if you have any orders, just say it. As long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to do it."
Fu Qi sighed with a heavy tone: "I came to you today. I really have something to tell you."
Seeing his appearance, Zhong shuran's heart jumped with a thump, and he had an ominous premonition: "is Liangshan pass broken by Xisha enemy?"
"That's not true."
Zhong Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "as long as it's not this thing, everything else is just a small matter. Just say it."
Fu Qi hesitated for a long time before he spoke.
"Not long ago, Xu Ji went to Heifeng valley with 300000 troops. He planned to ambush the enemy there, but he was attacked by the enemy halfway. 300000 people... The whole army was destroyed!"
Zhong opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it: "300000 people are gone?"
He soon thought of his father and quickly asked, "what about my father?"
"Zhong Jianjun and Xu Ji went to Heifeng valley together. Now their lives are unknown."
As if struck by lightning, Zhong was frozen in place.
Fu Qi said: "the scouts who came back to report said that Zhong Jianjun was in chaos and accidentally separated from others. I don't know whether he was killed or captured by the enemy..."
He paused and tried to comfort: "if he is lucky, he may have escaped the pursuit of the enemy and be hiding somewhere. Anyway, as long as he's still alive, we'll get your father back when we finish the war and drive away the enemy in Xisha. "
Zhong did not speak.
He knew very well in his heart that in that critical situation, his father would hardly survive. Even if he survived, he would probably become a prisoner of Xisha.
His father would rather be a broken jade than a broken one. If he really became a prisoner, his father would certainly choose to die to apologize, and would never wait for someone to save him.
For a long time, Zhong shuran whispered: "300000 people, how can the whole army be destroyed?"
Speaking of this, Fu Qi couldn't help gritting his teeth: "it's all Xu Ji's fault that he abandoned his soldiers at the critical moment and ran for his own life, resulting in the death of all 300000 people. I will report this matter to the emperor and let him punish him severely!"
Zhong shuran said in a hoarse voice, "people are dead. It's useless to punish them severely afterwards."
"You..."
Fu Qi wanted to say something comforting, but when he saw each other's red eyes, he found that all the comforts were too pale. Finally, he could only spit out two words dryly.
"I'm sorry."
Zhong Shu ran stood up with his chair. "Sorry, I don't feel very well. I want to go back to the house and have a rest. Please help yourself."
Fu Qixin wanted him to be alone, so he bowed his hand and left immediately.
After leaving the county government, Fu Qi hurried to Yunshan village.
When he arrived at the health hall, it was lunch break, and the door was closed..
Zhao Wu came to the door.
Soon the gate was opened. Song Hao's head poked out from the inside. After he saw who the people outside were, he immediately opened the gate completely, smiled and said, "it's the son of the world. Please come in!"
Fu Qi asked all the guards to stay outside. He took Zhao Wu into the health hall alone.
Now everyone was eating in the canteen. When they saw Fu Qi coming, they put down their dishes and chopsticks and got up to salute him.
Fu Qi could not help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the strong smell of the meal.
From last night to now, one night and one morning, he only ate two cakes. Before, he was preoccupied with business. He didn't notice hunger. At this time, he smelled the smell of the food, and the feeling of hunger was suddenly hooked out.
Jiang asked curiously, "Why are you here at this time?"
Fu Qi said, "of course, I have something urgent to ask you for help."
Through the change of his expression, Jiang Weiwei had a hunch that the urgent thing he said should not be a good thing. She was a little uneasy. She wanted to ask what it was, but she was afraid to ask the answer she didn't want to face.
When she hesitated, Liu Yun already spoke.
"Haven't you eaten yet? Sit down and eat together. No matter how big things are, we have to wait until we are full. "
