Chapter 2849 Scout
The wind blew by, wreaking havoc on this uninhabited land without any houses.
At this time, it was almost dusk.
A half-moon of setting sun hung obliquely on the distant horizon, as if still struggling. After being scorched by the scorching sun, the earth began to spit out the heat it had absorbed all day, and the green grass on the ground, after being exposed to the sun and fumigated, had wilted and drooped on the ground, as if it was about to ooze oil.
There is a special smell of grass in the air.
There seemed to be a hint of blood mixed in.
Ying Shao rode on the horse and looked around. His face was as calm as a mask as always. Even the orange-red sunlight could not make him feel any warmer.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence and came galloping from afar.
Several personal soldiers rode up to him at full speed, not dismounting, their knives still bleeding as they saluted and said, "Sir, we've found out. It's the scouts."
"oh?"
Ying Shao frowned slightly and asked, "Where are the people?"
“It’s been dealt with.”
"Take me to see it."
"yes."
Ying Shao asked everyone around him to wait, and he rode his horse and galloped forward with a few personal soldiers. He saw a large pool of blood on the grass in front of him, and there were obvious signs of a fight.
Several bodies were buried in the deep grass.
He took a look and found that they were indeed scouts sent by the people of Dian, seven in total.
He asked, "Is everything here?"
"yes."
"Make sure there's no escape."
"Don't worry, sir, absolutely not."
Ying Shao was silent for a moment, then glanced at them again and said, "On the rest of the journey, you must be even more vigilant and not allow any scouts to learn of our whereabouts. If any word leaks out, you will all be beheaded." "Yes!"
After saying these words, Ying Shao took another look around to confirm that there were indeed no deliberate traces around, and then returned to the previous team with a few personal soldiers.
He rode his horse alone and walked to the front of the carriage.
Although there was a team of twelve carriages when he left the city, now he only had one carriage.
Ying Shao leaned down on his horse, approached the window, and said softly, "The obstacle has been removed. We can continue to move forward."
There was silence in the carriage for a while.
Then the curtain lifted slightly, and because of the poor lighting, even Ying Shao couldn't see what was going on inside. He could only see a hand reaching out to the window, gesturing "continue."
So Ying Shao stood up and shouted to the people around him: "Keep going!"
The team then moved forward quickly.

"Since the other side has shown weakness, if we don't fight, wouldn't that be a waste of their 'good intentions'?"
When the generals heard that a battle was going to take place, they immediately became excited again.
He hurriedly asked, "Then, Your Majesty, how should we fight?"
Monk said coldly, "Since the other party is showing weakness, then naturally we must attack their weak spot. At this time, there is no need to be polite."
“…”
When several generals heard this, they fell silent.
Even if they have not read military books, they understand through their rich combat experience that if the enemy shows weakness and allows others to attack, it means they are obviously prepared.
However, Monk also asked them to attack the opponent's weaknesses.
What if it’s a dangerous situation?
Bars said softly, "Your Majesty, wouldn't this play into their hands?"
The others also became cautious.
Said: "Don't rush it."
"Anyway, we already have the upper hand, so we need to proceed steadily and cautiously."
"Yeah, let's find out the other party's intentions first."
Seeing them like this, Monk just smiled faintly.
His narrow eyes glanced at the kneeling scouts and asked, "So, are you still following the team that left the capital?"
One of the scouts said, "Yes. A few of us will return ahead and report our findings to His Majesty. The remaining eight will continue to follow the group and report back as soon as we have a clear understanding."
Monk said, "Okay, let's find out what's going on with that group and where they're going, and then make a decision."
"yes."
After the scouts left, Monk looked at the generals again.
He gave the order: "Pass it down, all the troops must assemble and prepare for battle at any time."
Bars hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, if we must fight, when is the best time to do so?"
Monk sneered, "Of course, the sooner the better."
“…”
"While there is chaos in the city and they don't have time to mobilize other troops, now is the best time."
His face darkened as he said, "Tonight, no one in the camp is allowed to rest. Be ready for battle at any time!"
"yes!"
Soon, it got dark.
Because Monk had given the order before, in the evening, a fire was lit in the camp to cook. After all the soldiers had eaten and drunk their fill, they lined up in their respective camps and prepared, without any one taking a rest.
While preparing, they were all extremely excited.
Peking City! Peking City!
This is the place that the people of Dian dream of conquering. Everyone knows that after the Central Plains dynasty moved its capital to Beiping, the wealth of the south began to flow to the north. Therefore, what was originally a border town in a bitter and cold place to defend against foreign enemies has now become the most prosperous and wealthy city in the north.
There are countless taverns, shops, and many delicate beauties from the Central Plains!
As long as they capture the city of Beiping, everything will be theirs!
The army of the Neng State was not like the army of the Central Plains Dynasty. They fought desperately when marching and fighting, just to plunder wealth after winning the battle. Generally, the generals in the army would never stop them at such times.
Not only will it not be stopped, it has become the way an army is formed and thrives.
Therefore, all the generals were promoting the prosperity of Beiping City, stimulating the beast-like soldiers under their command.
"As long as we capture Beiping City, from now on, we will live like gods!"
All the soldiers followed suit and shouted.
The sound was so loud that it almost blew up the largest royal tent in the center of the camp.
However, the big tent was always very quiet.
Although people kept coming in and out to report the news, as the Golden Crow set in the west and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east, and the sky and earth were completely dark, no order to attack was given yet.
This made the soldiers a little impatient.
Bals and several other generals saw that it was already pitch black around them. Although a night attack was a good idea, Monk was slow to issue the order. The opportunity was fleeting and it would also affect morale!
Thinking of this, he walked into the king's tent again.
I saw Munch sitting in a chair, motionless, holding something in his hand. In the dim firelight, it looked vaguely like a child's clothes.
