Peng Yuyan's troops headed westward.
The further I walked, the more confused I became.
Except for one or two scouts flying by occasionally, she didn't encounter any serious enemies!
Where is Xue Dingshan’s rear army?
They have been marching for four days. Logically, they should have encountered Xue Dingshan's rear army. Could it be that he really intended to send more than 100,000 front troops to attack the main force of our camp?
Are his soldiers so formidable? Or is he plotting something again?
Peng Yuyan has been studying military books since she was young and learned from her father, General Peng. The complexity of this incident really made her doubt herself.
Or... is there another way through the Qinling Mountains?
This was her biggest worry so far.
There were still two days left to go to Qipan Pass, so she decided to go there anyway.
The Divine Sword Third Brigade led by Su Mo was delayed for most of the day because of the detour through Dayan Valley, so when he arrived at Qiliping, Xi Hua's troops had already turned their horses around and left Qiliping, and were rapidly heading towards Qipan Pass.
Up to this point, Su Mo had not encountered a real enemy except for killing a few enemy scouts.
Where are the enemies?
Su Mo was very conflicted. This was the first military operation of the Third Divine Sword Brigade. Could it be a wasted trip?
Bai Yulian had made a great name for himself in the battle of Pingling Mountain. The team he trained was much stronger than Bai Yulian's. He had thought that the Third Brigade of the Divine Sword would be able to shock the world with one battle and make Bai Yulian take notice of him.
But what's the point of this situation now?
Could it be that Fu Xiaoguan got the intelligence wrong, or did he just want to get the Third Brigade out for some training?
"Big Brother, do you think we've fallen for Junior Brother's trick?"
Su Jue straightened his hat and shook his head. "Junior Brother left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say goodbye to his wives. The situation must be urgent. Besides, he has a lot of things to do after taking up the post of Wofeng Dao. He is very concerned about it. There is no way he would run all this way to have some fun for no reason."
Su Mo pondered for a moment and agreed with this: the enemy did exist, but he didn't know where it was now.
He looked around and waved his hand: "Keep going!"
Peng Yuyan chased after Xue Dingshan's troops, Su Mo chased after Xi Hua's troops, and Yu Chunqiu in the rear also broke camp and reorganized his troops after a careful discussion with Fu Xiaoguan, and the main force of 150,000 also moved forward.
On the fifth day of the third month of the tenth year of the Xuanli calendar, Huo Huaijin caught up with Yu Chunqiu's main force.
He also brought three people, Wei Wubing, Wei Hanxiang, and a scholar named Zong Shiji.
That night, the army set up camp on the mountain road. After carefully deploying the defenses, Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Chunqiu had a detailed chat with Huo Huaijin in the general's tent.
"Have you received the emperor's order?" Fu Xiaoguan asked in confusion.
Huo Huaijin raised his eyebrows and shook his head.
"Do you know what this crime is?"
"Once Xue Dingshan is killed, I will go to Your Majesty and apologize for my crime."
"Xue Dingshan might be a Saint. How can a first-rate scum like you defeat him?"
Huo Huaijin chuckled, "Some things have to be done even if you can't do them. Besides, even if I really can't defeat him, I have to go back. The Zhenxi Palace has 30,000 elite cavalry, and now that my father has passed away, I have to go and bring that cavalry out and fight against the Western Border Army."
This is possible. Fu Xiaoguan has made up his mind that he will take responsibility for Huo Huaijin's crime after returning to the capital. His Majesty won't be able to do much to him, but Huo Huaijin cannot ruin his future because of this.
Then he looked at the three people standing behind Huo Huaijin.
Zong Shiji's eyes were bright at the moment. He looked at Fu Xiaoguan and then at the back of Huo Huaijin's head, with many thoughts in his mind. Especially when he met Huo Huaijin, this Mr. Huo said that Master Fu was his brother. He didn't believe it at the time. He didn't expect that this man was really Master Fu's brother!
But Wei Wubing was extremely excited. He kept staring at Fu Xiaoguan——
This person is the legendary genius of the world!
Lord Fu, who was not yet eighteen years old and held the third rank, founded the Excalibur Special Forces, implemented the New Deal, and established the Ministry of Commerce. He was granted the title of Viscount by His Majesty!
Oh my god, Lord Fu is obviously a rare talent. There seems to be purple air lingering on his forehead. Even when he is laughing and talking, there is a faint aura of a dragon soaring and a tiger roaring!
Fu Xiaoguan stared at Wei Wubing with his eyes wide open. This man's eyeballs didn't even move. Could he be a fool?
"Hey, little brother... Hey, hey, it's you."
Wei Xianghan raised her hand and pinched her brother. Wei Wubing seemed to wake up from a dream. He knelt down and said, "I am Wei Wubing, the humble servant. I pay my respects to Master Fu!"
Fu Xiaoguan was puzzled. He glanced at Huo Huaijin, then stood up and walked over to help Wei Wubing up.
"You are...his bodyguard?"
Huo Huaijin laughed heartily, "I picked her up on the road. She said she wanted to join the Divine Sword Army... These two are a young couple. The man is a scholar. He said he wanted to be a staff officer in your Divine Sword Army. This young lady has some good skills, which is quite impressive."
Fu Xiaoguan supported Wei Wubing's shoulders, looked at the burly man, smiled, and asked, "What's your name, young man?"
"The villain Wei Wubing!"
Fu Xiaoguan nodded slightly and continued, "It's not easy to join the Divine Sword Army, but if you're really interested, you can give it a try."
Wei Wubing was instantly overjoyed, his face wide with a simple smile. He was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Fu Xiaoguan. "First of all, remember this: in the Divine Sword Army, soldiers only need to salute their superiors, but they must never kneel! This is the rule. Soldiers must stand upright and straight, and never kneel to anyone except their parents!"
"I obey your command!"
Fu Xiaoguan walked back and sat next to Yu Chunqiu, looking at Zong Shiji, who was also looking at him nervously at this moment.
During this short period of time, Zong Shiji's opinion of Fu Xiaoguan changed drastically.
As the most powerful and influential person in the Yu Dynasty, he originally thought that the young Lord Fu should be aloof and distant from people like them who came from the countryside.
I didn't expect that this young lord would be so friendly and humble. He didn't have any arrogance or domineering attitude. Instead, he gave people a warm and comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.
So this lord is different!
"What's your name, young man?"
Zong Shiji stepped forward and bowed, "My humble name is Zong, and my given name is Shiji."
"Why don't you go to Jinling and take the imperial examination?"
"My Lord... I originally wanted to take part in the Autumn Examination after getting married."
"Do you think you can pass the exam and become a Jinshi?"
"..." Zong Shiji pondered for a moment, "I think it can be in the top ten!"
Fu Xiaoguan grinned. This kid is quite confident.
So he took out paper and charcoal and wrote a title on the paper: How to Sweep the World!
He handed it to Zong Shiji and said, "This is Enke Ce Lun. Go and do it now."
