As soon as Xu Xian finished speaking, he saw someone emerge from the grass and run not far away. The two of them really didn't expect that there would be a big living person eavesdropping on their conversation in this barren mountain.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "There is a ghost! Chase!"

At that moment, the two of them ran away and chased the eavesdropper. Although Zhao Kuangyin was strong in force, his body was not as flexible as Xu Xian. He was left behind by Xu Xian before they chased him very far.

close.

Xu Xian just threatened to shoot the other person, but in fact he didn't have a bow and arrow with him at all. Instead, the other person turned around and shot Xu Xian an arrow, which hit the goggles on his chest with a clang.

"How insidious!" Xu Xian cursed and continued to chase forward. Seeing that the opponent did not draw the bow and shoot an arrow, he turned around and shot another arrow straight towards the door. It turned out to be Zhuge Liannu!

Xu Xian barely dodged it, picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it towards the back of the opponent's head, hitting him impartially. The opponent, who was not wearing armor, was staggered by the blow, covering his head and panicking.

Run to a nearby hilltop.

There were no trees on the mountain, so Xu Xian followed him not far away but pushed him to the top of the mountain. When he saw the eavesdropper stopped, Xu Xian drew his sword and chased after him a few steps and sneered: "You have no way to escape!

"

Only then did Xu Xian see the appearance of the other party. He was about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance and a slightly dark complexion, dressed as an ordinary person. He threw away the Zhuge Liannu in his hand and pulled out a barrier knife from his waist to confront Xu Xian, but

Not talking to each other.

Zhao Kuangyin was panting and caught up from behind, looked at the man and said, "Brother, don't panic, we are also in the military."

But the man still didn't say anything, looking around for an opportunity to escape. Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin also pulled out his sword and stopped him from the side. He laughed and said: "You are my Zhou Dynasty soldier, aren't you? If I expected you to be good,

He should be a scout or a spy from the Shu Kingdom. There is a broken wall behind you. You have nowhere to escape, so you should surrender as soon as possible."

The man's face changed slightly and then he said with a ferocious smile in a Sichuan accent: "So what? If you have the guts, come and catch me!"

Zhao Kuangyin pointed at Xu Xian with his chin and said: "Zhixian, go and deal with him!"

Xu Xian asked, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

"Am I your superior or your brother-in-law, so of course you have to listen to me!"

"If I die in his hands, just wait and eat my mother-in-law's rolling pin."

The Shu army was dumbfounded at the detailed work, but even if they arrested someone, they could start a quarrel. Unexpectedly, one of them suddenly jumped up and raised his knife to kill him. He hurriedly blocked it with his barrier knife, and the knife in his hand flew out with just one click.

.

Xu Xian pointed the knife at his chest and said: "Surrender, I, the King of Zhou, will treat the prisoners preferentially... Hey, don't retreat..."

"Ah!" The man took a few steps back, stepped on the air, and fell on his back. His screams stopped abruptly in an instant.

Zhao Kuangyin scolded: "Zhixian, Zhixian, your tongue has been killed by you."

"He fell down by himself, and I didn't stab him down. You can blame me for this!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find someone to get a rope. I'll climb down and see if I'm dead!"

Climbing high and low is Hongjindu's forte. Xu Xian had someone find a rope and drop him down along the steep mountain wall, while Zhao Kuangyin was hung up and lowered down.

It was strange that he fell down from a distance of five to six feet and still landed on a rock. His limbs were twisted abnormally, and the white bones came out of the flesh, which was very eye-catching.

Zhao Kuangyin ignored those who stretched out their hands to carefully explore the body of the Shu army. Apart from dry food, he found that there were only a few drawings, two charcoal pens, and a waist tag.

Xu Xian went up to look at it and said, "Is this a terrain map? This place is still Fengxiang's territory. Are they planning to turn from defense to attack and sneak attack Fengxiang who has no troops?"

"Fengxiang is an important town in the barrier pass. Even if the troops are empty, it is not that easy to fight. Moreover, there is the Yongxing Army that can rescue at any time. The troops of the Shu Kingdom in Longxi can barely defend the city. It is simply a fool's dream to counterattack Fengxiang. Moreover, Wang Jingzheng is leading

With the army blocking the front, if you want to sneak attack Fengxiang and go to Qinzhou, you won't go here..."

Zhao Kuangyin kept looking at several topographic maps, and suddenly pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to Xu Xian. It was not a topographic map. In addition to the date, it also recorded numbers of varying sizes. "What do you think this paper means?"

"

Xu Xian looked at it and replied simply, "I don't know!"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slyly and said: "They are definitely not attacking Fengxiang by surprise. If my prediction is correct, they are probably going to cut off the army's food supply route! The army has difficulty in supplying supplies. If they are cut off, it will only take two or three days to stop attacking."

Collapse!"

Xu Xian shook the paper in his hand, "Then what's recorded on it is probably the time and quantity of grain trucks passing through this place."

"You can teach me, boy!" Zhao Kuangyin said, taking the piece of paper from Xu Xian's hand, and put it back to Xizuo along with the other found things.

Xu Xian asked strangely: "Why did you put it back again?"

"He is a very good scout and a leader of the team. Maybe he is not the only one who comes here to explore the terrain and military situation. If his body is found and his belongings are missing, he will definitely suspect that his plan has been leaked. Wouldn't we spend half a day here?

All the work was in vain."

"He died under this cliff, so the chance of finding him is slim."

Zhao Kuangyin said seriously: "But we have to treat them as if they have a 100% chance, otherwise we will die a lot of people."

Originally planning to camp and rest nearby, Zhao Kuangyin asked everyone to continue their journey and traveled more than 20 miles through the night before setting up camp and resting again.

When he set out on the road the next day, Zhao Kuangyin slowed down and looked left and right along the way when he encountered places with steep terrain that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he could carefully check and record them one by one.

Looking at his meticulous appearance, Xu Xian couldn't help but lament that no one in this world could succeed casually. His trip was indeed not in vain.

Fengzhou is located on the Chencang Important Road. If Fengzhou can be captured, the other three states will be cut off from Shu. Therefore, Fengxiang Jiedushi Wang Jing's main attack direction is also in Fengzhou, and more than 20,000 Zhou troops are stationed there.

Thirty miles outside Fengzhou City.

Looking from a distance, we can see that the camp is densely covered with tents and flags, the camp is surrounded by fences and trenches, and there are also layers of barriers at the entrance to keep horses away, which shows that the commander is a very particular person.

Before Xu Xian, Zhao Kuangyin and several hundred people arrived at the camp, a group of people came out to greet them. The leader was Wang Jing, the military envoy of Fengxiang Army, followed closely by Xiang Xun, the envoy of Xuanhui Province, and Zan Jurun, the envoy of Neihe Province.

It's interesting to say that the Xuanhui envoy was responsible for the dietary and trivial matters in the palace, while the Neihai envoy was responsible for the palace guards. However, in the Five Dynasties, the emperor often sent them to lead troops in wars or to serve as supervisors, just because they could hold these two positions.

Most of them are the emperor's confidants - reliable.

Wang Jing was a burly man in his early forties. When he saw Zhao Kuangyin dismounting from his horse, he led his people to pay homage. It was not that Zhao Kuangyin was in a higher position than him, but because Zhao Kuangyin was an angel who came on the emperor's order.
