Chapter 672: Qin Changfeng Deploys Troops
Swish, swish, swish!
Arrows were still flying across the sky.
"Protect the General!"
The treasures in those Horse Carriages were definitely lost, without a doubt.
This group of people were simply lunatics!
Moreover, they truly understood the terrain here too well! They were adept at using the terrain to fight, and very quickly, they forced the Liangzhou Army into a desperate situation before scattering them.
"Run!"
No matter how talented Lian Guang was, he was powerless to turn the situation around at this moment.
Run!
Protect Zheng Yue Ru and run!
Break into smaller units!
Upon receiving the news, the Liangzhou Army dispersed rapidly.
"Pursue!"
The people on the side of Tata began their pursuit.
A middle-aged man with his face covered by a headscarf watched all of this coldly from among a group of Cavalry.
"Leader, shall we continue the pursuit..."
The man gave a faint smile: "Pursue, but remember, only pursue and do not kill; do not harm those two people! Otherwise, the funding for this batch of ours will truly be gone..."
"Yes!"
The group of people sped off upon receiving the order.
The man's eyes flickered.
In this desert region, his Tata was god!
However.
He knew.
Whether it was the fine Weaponry and Equipment or the essence of "Guerrilla Warfare," it was all a gift from one person, Long Yan.
Just a few days ago, he received news.
He was required to ambush a Long Yan Envoy mission on the road.
At the time, he was somewhat bewildered.
Wasn't this one side of their own people fighting another?
However, he could not refuse that person's order.
Only scatter them, and try not to kill anyone!
Especially those two people leading the team!
"Pursue!"
Hamadi issued another order, then cast his gaze toward the treasures scattered on the ground, and following that, his Falcon-like eyes revealed a fanatical smile.
Was this... a gift from Lord Long Yan?
Zheng Yue Ru was panting heavily at this moment, in a wretched state.
The bandits behind were still in hot pursuit.
Because Lian Guang had been protecting her the entire time, he already had several wounds on his body, bleeding incessantly.
"Lian Guang..."
Zheng Yue Ru felt she could no longer run and was just about to speak.
Lian Guang had already roared: "General, let us not speak of superfluous things for now; unless I am dead, I will protect the General with my life!"
He swung the sharp sword in his hand furiously, cutting down another arrow that came whizzing toward them.
Seeing a forest ahead, Lian Guang did not say another word; he pulled Zheng Yue Ru and ran toward it. In a place like this, encountering such a forest was absolutely a rare thing. Inside the forest, there was a small stream, and taking advantage of the fact that the pursuers had not yet arrived, Lian Guang took Zheng Yue Ru and plunged into the water.
"Have you found them?"
"Have you found them!"
Omar was stomping his feet in the Wanggong in a panic.
"Searching, we are searching..."
"Sultan, we have already engaged in battle with that group from Tata several times..."
"How did it go?"
"We lost every time!"
Omar looked completely bewildered, and he smashed the golden wine cup in his hand onto the ground: "Useless, a bunch of useless people! Find them for me, keep looking! If we still can't find them, how are we to answer to the Long Yan side?"
"Yes!"
Seven days.
It had already been seven days!
Seven days, and the two most important people of the Long Yan Envoy mission had vanished without a trace!
Omar, who knew Liangzhou very well, knew exactly what kind of person that General Zheng was!
The Chief Manager of the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce!
This time, coming to the Putu Kingdom, she had also given them plenty of face.
And the result?
And what was the result!
"Search, no matter to the ends of the earth, you must find her for me! Otherwise, we are finished, do you understand? Finished!"
Omar looked at this bunch of useless people and roared incessantly.
Zheng Yue Ru had gone missing.
This incident occurred just as they were about to reach the Putu Kingdom.
The entire Liangzhou was in an uproar.
Zheng Yue Ru's reputation in Liangzhou was quite significant. She excelled in commercial activities and concurrently served as the Logistics General of the Liangzhou Army, as well as the Chief Manager of the Chamber of Commerce. During her tenure, Liangzhou's economy began to take off, and its financial system developed steadily. The lives of the people of Liangzhou were also becoming more prosperous with each passing day!
Moreover, she was approachable and had not the slightest air of arrogance.
And the result?
Missing?
Missing!
The entire Liangzhou was shocked; the common people began to take to the streets, shouting angrily that they wanted justice for General Zheng!
What Putu Dynasty, a bunch of barbarians, actually daring to attack their General Zheng!
The first day.
Liangzhou Prefecture had no reaction.
The masses were even more furious.
Fight them!
In this situation, troops must be dispatched to suppress the petty villains!
The second day.
Qin Zhangfeng, who had just returned to Liangzhou, stated that they should wait a little longer for news. He believed that the Putu Dynasty, as a long-term partner of the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce, would certainly provide Liangzhou with an explanation regarding this matter.
This matter involved diplomacy and needed to be reported to the imperial court.
The third day.
The common people were still making a scene.
Many people were weeping bitterly, and the people of the Zheng Family were kneeling in front of the Liangzhou Prefecture, refusing to get up.
Because of the disappearance of the Chief Manager, all work at the Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce had almost come to a standstill.
The entire Liangzhou was in chaos.
The voices calling for a crusade against the Putu Dynasty grew louder and louder.
The fourth day.
Qin Zhangfeng finally could not hold back anymore.
With the entire force requesting to fight, he mustered fifty thousand troops.
"We're going to war, we're going to war!"
At this moment.
At the Military Academy, Zou Sheng and the others were incredibly excited.
This time, the Liangzhou Military Training had already lasted for nearly three months.
These young generals were already somewhat capable of holding their own.
Qin Zhangfeng also issued an order.
While mustering the fifty thousand troops, they would also take all the students from this session and head to the Putu Kingdom. Let them adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible.
"We are going to make a name for ourselves!"
"We've got it, we've got it!"
These children were so excited they were about to cry.
Zou Sheng, however, shouted coldly: "What is there to be happy about? Do you all think the battlefield is some fun place? General Zheng's life or death is unknown; we are going to find her, do you understand?"
At this, the children finally calmed down a lot.
Zou Sheng said indifferently: "The Putu Kingdom has complex terrain, and even General Lian Guang was scattered; how could we be any different? Go back and prepare well!"
After this bucket of cold water was poured, the group of young generals truly calmed down.
"Yes!"
After Zou Sheng finished giving instructions, he took a deep breath and looked toward the neighboring Liangzhou Academy.
No one expected it.
That they would be heading to the battlefield so soon.
Should he.
Should he tell him?
He hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked toward his home.
Just as he stepped out, he saw a magnificent Horse Carriage parked at the entrance.
The curtain of the Horse Carriage was lifted.
That scholar with a face like jade had a faint smile on his face.
"Are you here to see me off?"
Zou Sheng tried his best to put on a calm smile.
"No..."
The scholar smiled lightly.
"I want to go too."
"What?"
