After sending off the returning heroes, the Guangwu cavalry who stayed in Henan were all in a unit, and they went out to scout and ride in all directions.

On the same day, another group of men and horses recovered nine headless remains. It is also the color of Guangwu military uniform. Li Yanzhao led his subordinates to put the nine identified soldiers in the coffin after some cleaning and identification, and then sent Liu Jiwu to lead his troops to the river. Seeing this, Zhao Duwei on the other side sent a ship to transport the nine loyal bodies back to the north shore, and then sent them to the camp.

The 20 bodies of the faithful who had died on the south bank had been found and returned to the camp. However, Li Yanzhao's mood was still heavy.

The deceased are far away, and the living still have to perform their duties. Li Yanzhao temporarily pressed his concern for the dead soldiers in the bottom of his heart. And again in earnest, arrange the affairs that the department should focus on at the moment.

The people of the Qiang on the shore of Taoshui have already set camp and marched eastward, as if after seeing it, they know that their department is not easy to mess with, and it is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will. Chen An's sentry cavalry has not appeared in the past two days. A sentinel led by Liu Jiwu even went deep for hundreds of miles, reaching Didao, Shouyang and other places, which can be regarded as reaching the Weishui Basin, and it is only a few dozen miles away from Longxi County, Nan'an County, an important town in Longxi.

Even so, he never encountered a single Chen Anjun sentry on the way. Li Yanzhao combined with various circumstances, it is estimated that Chen Anjun had no intention of starting a war with the Liangzhou army. In addition, the last wave of Chen Jun's sentry cavalry that attacked him was hit hard, which probably made the Chen Jun's sentry cavalry at this moment strictly unable to defend it. deliberately avoided his own sentinels.

So much so that even the sentry cavalry of the Liangzhou army snooping on them is now almost rampant, and no one is going to intercept it.

By virtue of this series of circumstances. Li Yanzhao finally made his own judgment: Chen An was indeed at war with Liu Zhao. The tens of thousands of people raised have also drawn their camps to the east, and they have no intention of attacking Liangzhou. So Li Yanzhao compiled all the information that the sentry riders had discovered these days. Then he revised a letter and sent Han Wencan back to the camp with this information to be read by the Governor of 1,000 people.

On the Henan side, Li Yanzhao took advantage of the fact that Chen An's troops were busy preparing to attack Zhao and had no time to take care of their small sentry cavalry team, and frequently sent his subordinate cavalry to go out in all directions. Drawing a map of Longxi Henan and reconnoitering the deployment of Chen An's troops were also very busy.

The map that Li Yanzhao drew on the way to escape was only the mountains and rivers and landforms where he followed everyone on the way to escape. He had also wanted to reconnoiter the southern part of the Longxi River and complete the map, but he had been suffering from no good opportunity to do so. Now that this long-awaited opportunity has arrived, how can he let it go?

At this time, many of the literate officers under him finally showed his expectant side. The drawings drawn and returned by the chiefs, and the terrain and landforms marked are clear at a glance. Even he, a master who has been immersed in this way for a long time, can't help but be amazed.

Although the map submitted by the chiefs was still incorrect. Typos are also a problem. However, Li Yanzhao was already satisfied. In just a few months, it was not easy for him to be able to make everyone have this level. As for the mistakes, omissions, typos, and other subsections, he saw that it was okay to correct them himself.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yanzhao led his troops to cross the river and reconnoiter for nearly five days. Seeing that the grain and grass were about to run out, Li Yanzhao ordered the troops to return to the camp after returning.

However, at dusk, after all the departments of the returning camp arrived, they went out for more than 200 miles, and did not return for two days, and the scope of the investigation almost reached Shao Lei's department on Chen An's old nest, but brought back a big news: Han Zhao Liu Yao conquest Yang Nandi returned to the division, on the way Chen An attacked his logistics baggage, and captured the Han Zhao general Hu Yanyu. When persuasion failed, he was killed.

In other words, Chen An finally tore through the fig leaf of the last layer of monarchy between himself and the Xiongnu Zhao State of the Liu clan and rebelled against Liu Zhao. Since then, the war between Longqin and Qin has been together, and there is only no death. Until one side is completely finished.

Li Yanzhao was not sure who would finish the game at this time. After all, he knew almost nothing about this era. Alas, I knew I was going to cross, and I should have looked for more history books. Li Yanzhao thought with annoyance.

However, from the analysis of the situation, Li Yanzhao felt that the military strength of the Liu clan and Han Zhao was undoubtedly much stronger than that of Chen An. Therefore, Liu Zhao has a greater chance of winning. However, from his psychological and standpoint, he hopes that Chen An will gain an advantage in this undeclared life-and-death struggle. At the very least, I also have to fight for an equilibrium.

Because the base area that Chen An now occupies is the richest piece of land in the northwest region except for Guanzhong. Although Chen An's control over this land is not absolute. However, at this time, it was impossible for Liu Zhao to bypass Chen An and launch an attack on Liangzhou.

At this time, Chen An undoubtedly acted as a valuable buffer zone for Liangzhou to face Liu Zhao. Li Yanzhao knows how important Chen An's buffer zone is. If there is no such buffer zone, Liangzhou will have to use weak state and county soldiers to face Liu Zhao's strong military force in the northwest alone, relying on a little Yellow River natural danger.

At that time, if Liu Zhao wanted to take Liangzhou, he only needed to break through the Yellow River. After the breakthrough, Liangzhou was faced with a situation where there was no danger to defend.

And with his own state and county soldiers with few major generals, it is absolutely impossible to block the blow that Liu Zhao has made up his mind. Take Guangwu County as an example. One county plus three counties, four cities. Under the rule of the county, there are still thousands of hectares of fertile land along the backwater. However, the strength of this county is only four or five thousand men.

Guangwu County is also the southern barrier of Guzang City. If Guangwu loses, Gu Zang basically doesn't have to defend it. With the scale of Guzang's "seven miles from north to south and three miles from east to west", one could not hoard grain, and the other could not hoard soldiers. In addition, the old city is low and in disrepair, so it is strange that it can stop Liu Zhao's tiger and wolf army.

Li Yanzhao had the intention of staying as a sentry at this time, but in the face of the reality of running out of food, he had to temporarily return to the army, and after he had to go back to replenish grain and grass, and report the situation, he would make other plans.

However, just as everyone was packing up their garrison and planning to return to the division, Li Yanzhao looked at his subordinates, cleaned up the horse manure and domestic garbage in the cave, and went to the outside of the cave. Immediately ignoring it, this kind of behavior made Li Yanzhao's heart palpitate for a while.

"Do you know that if you act like this, you will kill your brothers?" The assembled cavalry listened to Li Yanzhao's anger, looked at the domestic garbage that was discarded at will outside the cave, and they all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

"Dig a pit and fill it!" Li Yanzhao didn't talk nonsense anymore, and gave the order concisely.

The horsemen were ordered to immediately bring shovels and pickaxes, and returned to the scattered garbage, and soon dug out several large pits, and then pushed the garbage that had been exposed to the surface into the pits one after another, and then buried them.

Seeing that the soldiers had landfilled the garbage and leveled it, Li Yanzhao took it upon himself to take the fallen leaves and other things from the side, covered them with the new soil with obvious traces of landfilling, and camouflaged it, Li Yanzhao nodded with satisfaction, and then led the crowd to leave the place.

More than 80 horsemen mounted their horses and marched together towards the river. When they arrived at the river, the boatmen disguised by the veterans of the Guangwu Army rowed their boats to the south bank one after another, and after picking up these horsemen, more than a dozen small boats rowed to the north bank one after another.

Zhao Duwei's department, which was still stationed on the north bank, saw the return of Li Yanzhao and his party, so he inquired about the current situation. Li Yanzhao told the truth, and said that his troops needed to return to the camp to replenish supplies, and then cross the river to scout in the coming day. Zhao Duwei went from his troops to the direction of the camp.
