At this moment, Liu Mo felt that things were out of control for the first time.

At noon on this day, the sky began to darken, and heavy rain could pour down at any moment. Under the lead-gray sky, everyone's face was full of gloom.

The road was bumpy, and the constant sound of footsteps and thunder was disturbing and disturbing.

Almost all of them only say a few words when necessary, and most of the time they are silent. Well-trained soldiers know that even if they have 100,000 questions, they can't just ask.

Military morale is the greatest guarantee for victory in the war. They also believe that Liu Mo can calmly solve the current crisis.

But now there is a problem that is difficult to solve, and now they are like a headless fly.

Deep into the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty, there was no goal, no retreat, and no reinforcements!

Liu Mo was in a bad mood, and he doubted his decision for the first time. Should he have led the troops back to Great Xia in the first place, nor did he go north to support the Six Princes. The premise is that you still have to know the other party's movements.

After convening a military meeting, Liu Mo also found a bigger problem: internal contradictions began to appear!

Except for Zhao Da, all the generals, including Zhu Min, questioned him.

Liu Mo couldn't explain it, it all came too suddenly, which made him feel at a loss.

The army of the six princes actually disappeared without a trace in just a few days, which made him even more unexpected.

After the meeting, Sun Kan mounted his horse and went to the front to investigate.

The rest of the men waited for a rest and set off again, as the scouts brought news that the pursuing troops of the Zhou Dynasty had appeared in the rear.

It didn't take long. While walking through a sparsely wooded forest, Liu Mo saw the relics left by humans, the discarded food scraps, and the giant sword that had broken in the previous battle was discarded on the side of the road.

A stone mound for seriously wounded soldiers, but scavengers will not spare these poor soldiers.

Among the overturned stones, terrible faces looked at him, and the outline of the skull was still clearly visible under the rotten flesh.

"These are the troops of the Six Princes? Or the Zhou Dynasty? Liu Mo himself couldn't figure it out, the armor had been taken away, and the corpse had decomposed and couldn't be identified.

In desperation, they had no choice but to move on.

Tens of thousands of Great Xia soldiers followed Liu Mo through the woods, but Liu Mo felt extremely guilty and helpless at this time, and his heart was extremely heavy with every step.

It's almost before nightfall. The scouts came quickly to report that Zhu Min's troops were already chasing them.

Before that, Liu Mo put Zhu Min in charge of the palace and wiped out the pursuing Zhou Dynasty army.

After hearing the scout's report. Liu Mo immediately asked the soldiers to go to the front and asked Sun Kan's forward troops to stop.

When I went there were 1,100 soldiers, and when I came back there were only 600 soldiers.

Zhu Chang was at the forefront. His forehead, chest, and hands were covered with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or the enemy's.

"Brother Zhu, it's okay." Liu Mo immediately asked with concern.

"It's okay, these debris can't hurt me!" Zhu Min said, wiping the blood on his face.

"Well, will the pursuers of the Zhou Dynasty continue to chase?" Qi Shu asked.

"Now it's safe and they're not chasing it anymore. At the very beginning, the pursuers of the Zhou Dynasty kept their distance and did not attack, but more like surveillance.

I repelled them in a wave, and they scattered. I think they must be watching us in the shadows. ”

"What are they doing here?" Zhao Da asked puzzled.

"It's simple. If it pursues us now, we will definitely fight back. They will be very damaged. Liu Mo explained.

"Oh?" Zhao Da was not born as a military general, so he naturally didn't understand, and his face was full of doubts.

"But if they deliberately let us go, we don't have much food right now. Starve for 10 days, and then we will be fish to be slaughtered. Liu Mo explained.

"Lord Liu is right. The most important thing for us now is to find food and water. Otherwise, without the miscellaneous pieces of the Zhou Dynasty, we ourselves will starve to death. ”

Liu Mo nodded, "By the way, Brother Zhu, have you detected the movements of other friendly forces?" Qi Shu asked.

However, I saw Zhu Min shaking his head, "No! It's as if they've evaporated from the world. ”

"We're on our own?" Zhao Da asked slightly nervously.

"What are you afraid of, what are the miscellaneous pieces of the Zhou Dynasty?" Zhu Min said sharply.

Liu Mo could hear that although Zhu Min's voice was loud at this time, his confidence was obviously insufficient.

His face sank and he continued, "Sun Kan, where do you think the troops of the Six Princes may have gone?" ”

"Lord Hui, I don't have a clue about this." Sun Kan said bitterly. "But if they live, they should continue to evacuate north!"

"North!" Liu Mo frowned, "Do you want to cross the swamp?" ”

"Impossible," Zhu Min said, "how can such an act look like looking for death!" ”

"And where do you think they're going?"

Perhaps in their eyes, the forces of the Six Princes have been wiped out!

"Don't say so much," Liu Mo interrupted their conversation, "Hurry early, before night comes, you have to find a safe place to spend the night!" ”

In the middle of the night, few people can really sleep quietly.

And in this bleak night, there was always a lot of chattering and noisy, which made Zhu Min want to get angry, and in the end he learned that there were constantly stragglers crawling along the footprints to find the large army.

And these soldiers are all the troops of the Six Princes!

Seeing the appearance of these soldiers, Liu Mo was in a good mood.

So, he asked them to prepare food and give them a full meal, and then asked about the situation of the six princes overnight.

However, the news he heard disappointed him.

"What about your people?" Liu Mo asked. "What's going on?"

"Back to the Governor, on the third day after taking Hetu City, nearly 200,000 Zhou Dynasty troops appeared outside the city."

"What?" Zhu Min couldn't believe his ears, "How is this possible?" Where did they come from? ”

"This villain doesn't know, when the six princes saw them, they were also taken aback!" The soldier replied, "The generals of the Six Princes even thought that you had rebelled, Governor Liu.

After all, according to the deployment, there is your army in the middle to choke the throat of the Zhou Dynasty! ”

Liu Mo was stunned, how did the troops of the Zhou Dynasty slip under his nose?

At this time, Sun Kan suddenly woke up, "Lord Liu, what if this war is completely a conspiracy?" ”

Conspiracy? Liu Mo's heart trembled. "A conspiracy set up for me and the Six Princes?" He thought to himself, "The Great Prince's troops did not attack the capital of the Zhou Dynasty at all, and Yang Yizhi led all the troops of the Zhou Dynasty to ambush at the junction of Hetu City and Yongxing.

What I'm waiting for is that I and the six princes will throw themselves into the net! ”

It's so vicious!
