"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1009
The advancing column led by Li Changqing went out day and night, and they cautiously passed through the county in the enemy-occupied area, as if they were in an uninhabited land.
After all, Lancang Province is the hinterland occupied by the rebels, and it is quite far away from the front line. They never thought that there would be an enemy army moving into their hinterland.
All the way there was no incident, and Li Changqing and the others, who had been tense all the time, couldn't help but relax.
But when they relaxed their vigilance just now, trouble came to them. When they were resting in a forest during the day, they happened to meet a group of people who went hunting in the forest.
Dressed in the garb of rebels, these hunters pursued their prey to the hiding place of the advancing column.
Li Changqing and the others followed the principle of not causing trouble if they could, and in order to avoid exposure, they chose remote paths along the way to march.
But people are not as good as heaven, who knows that a team of hunters will find their tracks.
After all, the 20,000 troops were hiding in the woods. Although the scout brothers tried their best to wipe away the traces of their actions, they still left clues.
"Destroy them!"
Seeing those hunters approaching in their direction, Li Changqing had no choice but to give the order to hunt.
A group of elite scout brothers quietly surrounded them, and quickly wiped out the hunting team of the rebels like chopping melons and vegetables.
Seeing the hunting team of more than a hundred rebels who were beheaded, Li Changqing also had a livid face and was very upset.
Originally, they were just resting here in hiding, and no one wanted to mess with them, but if they hit the muzzle of the gun, he had no choice but to kill them.
After Li Changqing and the others wiped out the hunting team of the rebels, they moved quickly after dark.
However, what Li Changqing and the others didn't expect was that the group of rebels they wiped out without any hassle had inadvertently made a big mess.
Because among the rebels they wiped out were several big figures, among them were the Governor of Lancang Province and the second son of Chai Sheng of Zhendong Army.
Chai Sheng holds the Zhendong Army in his hand, so he is now the deputy marshal appointed by the rebel emperor Long Tian, ??leading the troops to resist the wolf cavalry in Baishan Province.
?In order to curry favor with Chai Sheng, the deputy marshal with a heavy hand in his hands, the governor of Lancang Province did what he liked and accompanied his second son to hunt in the mountains.
However, they were unlucky, and accidentally ran into the advancing column of the Qinghe Army, and were killed.
Seeing that the governor and Chai Sheng's second son and his party didn't leave the forest after dark, the guards guarding outside the forest were also puzzled and had to enter the forest with a torch to search.
But when they found them in the forest, the governor, the second son and others had turned into cold and stiff corpses.
Seeing the dead people, the captain of the guard also turned pale, and hurriedly reported the situation.
"What, the second son and the governor were killed in the forest?"
When the bad news reached the provincial capital of Lancang, all the officials in the province were shocked and speechless.
"Check it out for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the murderer!"
It doesn't matter if the Governor of Lancang Province is dead, after all, he is just an agent elected by a big family.
However, Chai Sheng was the deputy marshal of the rebel army. His second son was killed. Chai Sheng was furious and blood flowed like a river.
A group of officials in Lancang Province couldn't sit still anymore, and they issued orders one after another to thoroughly investigate the murderer, otherwise they would not be able to bear the anger of the deputy marshal Chai Sheng.
For a while, a large number of local garrison troops, government officials and police officers gathered in the forest where the murder occurred.
They searched the entire forest, but found something even more incredible, as if a large army had stayed here.
When the news reached the base camp of the rebel army, the furious rebel emperor Long Tian asked them to quickly search for the murderer, but on the other hand he was puzzled.
Because Lancang Province is the hinterland of their controlled area, and now there is a report that there are traces of the army staying, which makes Long Tian also startled.
"Strengthen checks in all towns and intersections, and we must find out this enemy army."
Now there were traces of the army staying in their hinterland, so Long Tian didn't dare to neglect, because he didn't know the number and purpose of this enemy, so he ordered a general to personally lead the team to Lancang Province.
Li Changqing and the others were still ignorant at first, but as the provincial capital of Lancang and the rebel base camp cast their eyes on them, it was impossible for them to hide their whereabouts.
It turned out to be a silent march in the dark, but now countless spotlights are coming, and it is impossible to hide.
"Old Li, something is wrong."
Although Li Changqing and the others were still lurking day and night, the chief of staff, Zhou Han, discovered the situation from the investigation of the scout brothers.
"What's wrong?"
After hearing Zhou Han's words, Li Changqing cheered up and cast his eyes on him.
"Only during the day, the scout brothers found three teams of local garrison troops of the rebels, five teams of Minzhuang and three teams of government servants in action near us."
"Where are these people?" Li Changqing asked.
Zhou Han replied: "In order to avoid exposure, it has been wiped out by the brothers of the scout team."
"Pass down the order, the next time we meet, catch a few alive and interrogate what they are doing." Li Changqing ordered.
"By the way, the number of guard posts has doubled. I have a bad feeling."
Although they still did not find a large rebel army around them, and they had always chosen to march on country trails, Li Changqing still had a vague bad feeling.
When Chief of Staff Zhou Han went to make arrangements, in a town closest to where Li Changqing and the others were currently hiding, a general of the Zhendong Army was sitting here, fully responsible for the search of this area.
After all, their second son was beheaded, and they had to catch the culprit, otherwise they would have no way to explain to Chai Sheng, the coach of the Zhendong Army.
When night fell, the government officials who went out to search during the day, the local garrison troops, and the temporarily recruited civilian squads all reported one after another, but no trace was found.
"The fifth, eleventh, and twelfth search teams have not responded yet."
"There are five search teams in Minzhuang that have not reported the situation."
"There is no news from the three teams of yamen servants."
In the town, an official who was in charge of summarizing the situation reported to the general based on the situation during the day.
"Why didn't they report?" the general of Zhendong Army asked.
The official explained: "They shouldn't have found anything. If they found out, they would definitely report it."
"Which area are they searching?" The general of Zhendong Army frowned.
"The ones who didn't report the situation were all near Wolf Mountain. They didn't report the situation, which means that it is safe there."
"Other places are also safe, but at least one team reported, but why didn't they report at all here, will there be any accidents?" the general of Zhendong Army guessed.
"Master General, what do you mean?"
"What if they ran into that mysterious army and were silenced?"
After hearing the general's analysis, the official also suddenly felt a chill in his back, because the place where their second son was killed was also a forest, and it seemed that he was silenced.
