The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 1208

Ji Wen's death severely dampened the spirit of Ji's army.

Because Long Yu sent people to bring food and grass, Ji's army stood still for three consecutive days with sufficient food and grass, forming a cold war with the defenders in Qinghe County.

During the three days, Ji Hong often summoned several generals under his command to discuss strategies and strategies, and dared not act rashly again.

"Report..." The soldiers reported outside the commander's account.

Ji Hong stopped to discuss, turned his eyes away from the sand table, raised his eyebrows and looked at the door of the big tent, and said in a dull voice, "Come in."

The soldier came into the tent, put his fist on Ji Hong's knees, and reported neatly, "General, my subordinates have found out that Emperor Dayan's royal conquest is leading troops towards Qinghe County."

When Ji Wu heard this, a savage look flashed in his eyes, and he looked in Ji Hong's direction, "Father, if the little emperor is captured, the garrison in Qinghe County will be in chaos."

"The major general is right." All the generals under Ji Hong's command agreed with Ji Wu's proposal.

"The opportunity must not be missed, I hope the general will make a decision."

"Father commander, the little emperor has never been on the battlefield. He is easier to deal with than the regent Yanli. If he catches the little emperor, Yanli will not hand over Qinghe County." Ji Wu said again.

Ji Hong pondered for a while, then raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the soldiers who reported, "The little emperor's personal conquest, where did he order the soldiers? How many soldiers did he bring?"

"General, according to my subordinates' investigation, it should be the garrison of the North Camp of Biandu City." The soldier replied, "There are about 5 horses."

Ji Hong frowned and analyzed the situation, "The soldiers of the camp in the north of the city have been trained by Yanli himself, and they are no different from those under Yuchizhen's command. However, Yanli is guarding the city of Qinghe County this time, and there is no wise coach. No matter how brave the soldiers are, they will be at a loss because of the ability of the general Qin Jin. Yan Li, Yan Ke's uncle and nephew are deeply affectionate, and if they capture Yan Ke, they will definitely be able to threaten Yan Li."

Ji Wu knew that he was tempted, so he hurriedly asked for orders, "Father commander, my son is willing to lead [-] troops to capture the little emperor."

"Yes." Ji Hong ordered, "The little emperor must be captured."

"Yes, my son will live up to his father's command." Ji Wu received the military order and quickly dispatched troops to the camp.

For more than an hour, [-] soldiers and horses were assembled. In order not to disturb the garrison in the city, Ji Wu ordered [-] soldiers and horses to surround the path and leave in batches from the Ji family's camp without anyone noticing.

On the other side, the little emperor Yan Ke led [-] soldiers and horses, and was marching towards Qingfeng Gorge.

Qingfeng Gorge is the only place to go to Qinghe County. The terrain is dangerous. On the right side of the official road is a deep abyss, and on the left is a towering cliff. It is extremely difficult to break through if the enemy ambushes.

"Your Majesty, Qingfeng Gorge is ahead." The army was still five miles away from Qingfeng Gorge, and Qin Jin, the commander of the northern garrison who was driving along, reminded Yan Ke nervously.

At the end of last autumn, Yan Ke had been to Qinghe County for disaster relief, so he knew Qingfeng Gorge very well.

"Qin Aiqing, pass on the order and move forward on guard."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Jin nodded, and immediately called his lieutenant over to convey Yan Ke's order.

The [-] troops marched very fast, and arrived at Qingfeng Gorge in less than half an hour.

The terrain of Qingfengxia is high, the army passed by, and the whistling wind hovered above the head. However, apart from the wind, there was no other movement, and the atmosphere was a bit strangely quiet.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong." Qin Jin frowned and looked at the cliff on the right, seeing the lush grass and trees on the cliff, "The terrain here is high and safe. There should be birds nesting here."
