At this time, Kopning gradually regained his composure and began to observe his surroundings.
No matter how he looked, no one noticed.
There were no traces of footsteps underground or of people dragging the food and grass.
In other words, except for the missing grain and grass, there was no trace of anything in the entire granary.
Seeing this, Kopning kicked the stone under his feet hard.
Then he shouted to the people outside: "Someone come!"
After hearing this, the elite soldiers at the door hurried in.
Even though he walked in, he was still trembling with fear and didn't dare to breathe.
"When was it discovered that the food and fodder were missing?"
"Report to the general, it's this morning!" Ke Jiu, who rushed over, said hurriedly.
Fearing that he would be scolded by Kopnin, he quickly explained after saying this:
"But in the past few days, we didn't notice any unusual movements at all, not even a little bit."
When saying this, Ke Jiu almost swore to the sky.
Since he hadn't seen Ke Shi just now, he probably guessed what happened.
Because of this, he did not go this time and insisted on going.
If Ke Shi is lucky, he might be able to save his life.
If not, by the time the deputy general arrived at the granary, he would have regained some composure.
Since I want to tell you the truth here, the deputy general will naturally go to find the answer.
In fact, Ke Jiu himself was also very curious. What he said was all true, and he did not find anything unusual.
There was not a sound at all, as if the food and fodder had disappeared out of thin air.
Seeing this, Ke Liu walked around again, but still found nothing.
Looking at the time again, they knew they didn't have much time to waste.
Yu immediately said, "Deputy General, it is already the hour of the dog."
The implication is that if we don't make arrangements now, it will be too late.
"Are you sure Zhang Zixuan is coming this way?" Kopning asked in a deep voice.
Ke Liu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. Yu 놆 quickly said, "Confirmed!"
"How many soldiers did they bring?"
"About five thousand!"
"Five thousand? He doesn't think that five thousand can defeat my thirty thousand elite soldiers in Shilitun!" Kopning said sarcastically.
"Isn't it? The food and grass have been stolen, but you still want to defeat my 30,000-man army with only 5,000 elite soldiers. It's simply a pipe dream."
Having said this, Kopning immediately walked towards his camp again.
He took two steps, then stopped as if he remembered something, and murmured in a low voice:
"That's not right. The food and grass are no longer here. Given Zhang Zixuan's personality, he shouldn't attack us again, right?"
Hearing this, Ke Liu also fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he said, "Deputy General, do you think it is possible that he doesn't know how many troops we have here?"
"I think he might have stolen the food."
"If not him, who else?"
Kopning choked.
Yes, if it weren't for him, who else would do such a thing and steal all their food and supplies quietly.
"But if Zhang Zixuan dares to come here with 5,000 elite soldiers today, I, Kopuning, will make sure he never returns!"
After saying this, Kopning turned to Ke Liu and said:
"Pass the order down. After a quarter of an hour, everyone should be ready to march."
"놆, Vice General!"
There is no more food and grass, so there is no need for anyone to guard this place.
All in all, he had more than 30,000 elite soldiers.
He just didn't believe that his more than 30,000 elite soldiers could not defeat Zhang Zixuan's 5,000 elite soldiers.
A quarter of an hour later, Kopnin looked at the general in front of him, raised the big knife in his hand and shouted:
"Whoever can take down Zhang Zixuan's head today will be rewarded handsomely!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several generals immediately became restless.
It can be said that this time, their chances are great.
First of all, Zhang Zixuan didn’t have many soldiers and horses.
They had heard a long time ago that Zhang Zixuan was a top-notch martial artist and a very difficult person to deal with.
The manpower under him is comparable to the Yi family army back then, and it even feels like they are better than the Yi family army.
Without an ambush, it would be unlikely for them to capture him.
Just like the Yi family army back then, they relied on ambushes.
Following Kopning's order, thousands of elite soldiers quickly moved towards Zhang Zixuan and his group.
....................................................................................................
The other side.
Zhang Zixuan, who was still moving forward, suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled the army to stop temporarily.
After everyone stopped, Zhang Zixuan lay on the ground with his ears touching the ground...
This was also taught to him by Jian Xiu, who said that this would help him better determine the distance to the enemy.
When he was leaving just now, he seemed to hear someone walking towards this side.
I'm just not sure.
I have to say that Jian Xiu's method is very effective.
After so many wars, he basically relied on this method to identify the direction and distance of the enemy.
There is no difference from the basis of self-judgment.
"Zixuan, did you find anything?" Jian Ming asked quickly.
At the same time, he also lay down and did the same movements as Zhang Zixuan.
They were all trained by Jian Xiu, and they all know this basic knowledge.
"Zixuan, judging from the sound alone, they have obviously discovered us!" Jianming said with a serious expression.
Zhang Zifu, Zhang Zhiyong, and Zhang Haifei on the side also quickly looked at Zhang Zixuan.
Then Zhang Zifu also lay down and listened, his face changed drastically, "From the sound, they have at least 30,000 soldiers."
Zhang Haifei, who had been silent all this time, said, "But we haven't destroyed the food supplies yet..."
"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Let's retreat first!" Zhang Zixuan interrupted Zhang Haifei and said.
After saying this, Zhang Zixuan did not wait for them to reply, and directly raised the wooden stick in his hand and shouted:
"Everyone listen up, go back the way you came!"
Judging from the sound they just heard, they are about three or four kilometers away from their location.
He himself knew very well that this battle was inevitable.
Even if we have to fight, we can't get too close to their camp. This will be too disadvantageous for them.
The farther away, the better.
When everyone heard Zhang Zixuan's words, they immediately went back the way they came.
Compared to the way here, which required clearing the way and climbing the slope, the way down was much smoother.
