Chapter 1111 Looking for someone
She walked out first, and as far as the eye could see was a wide expanse of land and a not-so-small road. Although it was not an official road, it was not far from it.
She took the map and looked at where the army was stationed. It would only take a day and a half to take a detour from here.
Still have to go.
She didn't dare to take the main road, so she led thousands of people along the mountain path for fear of being discovered.
While she was suffering here, she didn't know that the main army was going crazy looking for her.
On the tenth day after they entered the mountains, the news leaked out. All the enemy forces could not find General Xu, so they changed their target and aimed at Zhou Guo.
The army turned to besiege their 10,000 people.
In this way, the enemy troops surrounding Xu Sibei and Xu Xiushan were transferred away. With the pressure relieved and the support of the large army, Xu Xiushan and Xu Sibei came out first.
Xu Xiushan was injured, but he had a military doctor by his side, and he had been hiding in the mountains for so long just to recuperate, so those injuries had healed long ago.
Xu Sibei was completely unharmed, except that he became thinner due to hunger.
There’s no way. There’s not enough food in the mountains and we’ll starve.
As soon as the parties met, they heard that Zhou Guo was missing, and the fourth son of the Xu family was being chased by hundreds of thousands of troops, while she only had 10,000 people around her...
Xu Xiushan pointed at the Black Eyebrow General and yelled, "Did a pig eat your brain? You let a child who has never been to the battlefield go to the front line to fight? Do you know who she is? She is not an ordinary child!! She can feed tens of thousands of people and keep hundreds of thousands of my troops from going hungry!!
She can make the northern land, where taxes cannot be collected, become the granary of my Xu family army! ! In the future, she can make this broken world recover in just a few years. She is the hope of the future of this world! ! ! "
He had never been so angry before. With so many people in the main camp, he dared not utter a word.
General Black Eyebrow lowered his head and knelt on the ground, saying, "I don't know her identity."
No one told him Zhou Guo's identity. The major general only said at that time that she was leading them into the mountains to find a way, but he didn't say who she was.
He just thought he got in through the back door, but it turns out he has such a powerful background? ?
Xu Anbei, the fourth son of General Xu, Zhou Guo...
General Black Eyebrow was filled with remorse and asked for his own orders, "General, I will lead 50,000 men into the mountains to find the young master even if I die!"
Xu Xiushan roared, "What good are 50,000 troops? Have you ever been in this mountain? Can you go in and find someone?"
Xu Sibei knew that Zhou Guo was missing, and his brows never relaxed. He said, "General, I'll go. I'm familiar with this mountain!"
He really knew the place well. For the past few months, he had done nothing but wander around in the mountains. He wanted to find his father and avoid the pursuers in the mountains. He knew the place well.
Xu Xiushan was silent for a while, then he decided, "Then you go, you must bring her out. There are still 80,000 troops in the camp, you take 70,000 of them with you."
"No general!"
Everyone was shocked and tried their best to stop it.
"If this happens, there will only be 10,000 people left around you. You absolutely cannot do this!"
Although Xu's army is brave and invincible, the strength gap is too great, so this bravery is of no use.
In front of an army of hundreds of thousands, these ten thousand people are useless. It's not like they can sneak away in the mountains.
Xu Xiushan waved his hand and said, "It's settled! I have 10,000 people, which is enough. In two days, General Zhou's army will come back to support us."
Zhou Dacang has an army of 120,000. With these 120,000 soldiers of the Xu family who have fought in many battles, what is there to be afraid of?
He said to Xu Sibei: "Just this time, you must learn a lesson and not underestimate the enemy. Your mission is to save people, not to kill the enemy."
Xu Sibei nodded heavily.
The next day, he led an army of 70,000 into the mountains.
The power of 70,000 Xu family soldiers is naturally not comparable to that of 10,000 Xu family soldiers.
While Zhou Guo and General Xiaoyan were wandering around in the mountains, the enemy's rear was also being attacked by Xu's army.
Although there were still many enemy troops surrounding them, at least not as many as before.
During the desperate battle at the foot of the mountain, the enemy had no reinforcements, so they were able to escape. Otherwise, if they were blocked from both sides, they would have been unable to escape.
Xu Xiushan waited anxiously for news every day, and scolded Xu Xiaobei who was far away in the north countless times, "I think he has grown up in vain, his brain is only as big as a walnut, how did he come up with such a wonderful idea? Let his sister who has never been to the battlefield follow the army into the mountains to find a way? Such a brilliant idea, it's really hard for him!!"
Xu Xiaobei from the north sneezed several times.
On the other side, Zhou Dacang, who was rushing back, also got the news. He was finally able to free up his hands to go back to provide support. He received the message halfway through the journey.
It is said that General Xu actually has a fourth son. This fourth son is extraordinary and is more powerful than any of the previous three sons.
For so many years, he was the only one in charge of the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Xu's soldiers.
The North was such a poor place in the past. Taxes could not be collected all year round. It was God's blessing that half of the taxes were collected. In the past few years, it has changed so much and directly became a granary. It is said that it is all thanks to the fourth son.
The imperial court wanted to arrest this fourth son.
As long as this child is caught, it would be equivalent to eliminating half of Xu's army. Xu Xiushan would be too sad and might even die.
Xu's army suffered such a devastating blow that it is not impossible that they will never recover.
At this time, the imperial army was blocking the fourth son in the mountains and chasing him.
With hundreds of thousands of troops, it's hard for this child to be born.
When Zhou Dacang heard the news, he almost fell off his horse.
Isn’t this fourth son their Zhou Guo?
Is she coming to Huxi?
Why did she come to Huxi instead of staying in the north?
He even followed the army into the mountains. This kid has never fought in a war and is very enthusiastic at heart. I'm afraid he will suffer losses if he goes to the battlefield.
He was extremely anxious and wished he could grow wings and fly over there immediately.
Order the army to advance at full speed.
Zhou Guo, who was worried about by so many people, was slowly walking towards the camp along the side of the mountain.
The food problem for more than 4,000 people is not easy to solve. Even though she is good at hunting, she is not that good that she can hunt enough prey to feed more than 4,000 people in one meal.
Moreover, there were so many of them that the bloody smell on their bodies could be smelled two miles away.
The prey in the forest have much sharper noses than humans. Once they sense danger, they will run away long ago.
Without prey, they could only eat grass roots, wild vegetables and tree bark. At this time, there were not many wild vegetables left.
They hurried and hurried, and the journey that was originally planned to take one and a half days took them another four days.
After so many days, the food they had snatched from the enemy had long been eaten up, and they could not hunt any prey, so they could only eat wild vegetables and grass roots.
Zhou Guo was no exception. In order to reach the camp earlier, she stopped hunting and led the whole family to walk forward. Only when they reached the camp could they have a meal.
This group of people were so thin that they looked unrecognizable. Even Dashu and Xiaoshu beside them had sunken cheeks. It seemed that they had been in the mountains for more than a month.
