Xia Lan skillfully shuttled through the ravines in the forest.
Although the heavy rain obstructed her vision, Xia Lan could still identify the direction and rush towards a certain location.
……
Yamen of Yi 'an City.
Looking at the heavy rain, Li Mu's eyes flashed with annoyance.
He regretted not being more decisive back then. He would rather sacrifice a few more soldiers to kill Huan He and the others, instead of falling into this predicament.
The heavy rain had washed away all traces of their escape. Now that the world was vast, it was hard to determine where Huan He and the others had fled to.
"Men!"
Lu Mu said after thinking for a long time.
"General!"
A guard hurriedly ran over.
"Pass down my order. Order the army at the border of Yanzhao to slowly advance into the territory of Zhao and shrink the encirclement!”
"Send another horse to inform General Sima Shang to block the border of Zhao and Wei to prevent Huan He and his men from escaping to Wei.”
"Yes!"
The guard received the order and left the government office in the heavy rain.
Li Mu thought for a moment and shouted again,""Men!"
Another soldier ran in.
"General!"
"Pass down my order, the army will break camp and advance towards Handan!”
"Pay close attention to the possible hiding places of Huan He and the others along the way!”
Hearing this, the guard was slightly stunned. Then, he quickly said,"General, you can't!"
"Our army is guarding the northern border against the Xiongnu.”
"During the war in Chi Li Yi 'an, General's public defiance of the decree has already caused the King's displeasure. Now that the Wuzhao army is approaching Handan, I'm afraid they will be schemed against by villains and say that General has the intention to rebel!”
The guard saw through it and quickly reminded him.
Li Mu fell into deep thought.
He only wanted to capture Huan He and the others as soon as possible to weaken the strength of the Qin Country.
However, he did not expect that behind him was a country that could not be put in an important position.
From the king to the prime minister, no one trusted him.
After the guard's reminder, Li Mu could imagine that once he really led the army to Handan, their king would definitely be so scared that he would not be able to sleep.
And that treacherous minister Guo Kai would definitely jump out and make a comment on him.
He didn't care about these things, but he couldn't ignore Zhao.
If he fell, Zhao might really be destroyed.
"Forget it…"
Li Mu waved his hand dejectedly.
The guard turned around and left.
Li Mu looked at the raindrops falling from the sky and could not help but sigh.
He was wholeheartedly devoted to the country, just like raindrops falling from the sky.
However, fate played a joke on him, causing him to fall into the mud of the State of Zhao and be unable to extricate himself…
The heavy rain lasted for a whole day, and it only stopped when the sun was setting.
After the rain stopped, the road was muddy, making it more difficult for the Zhao soldiers to search.
In the forest, Xia Lan had already found the border of Yanzhao through some clues. She was only a dozen miles away from the cave where Huan He and the others were hiding in.
Xia Lan lay on a clean rock and panted heavily.
Traveling in the heavy rain consumed a lot of physical strength.
In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that he could only retain 20% of his rationality after going berserk and was unable to analyze the clues along the way, Xia Lan really wanted to use berserk mode to hurry along.
After all, the Berserk Transformation increased one's speed, strength, and endurance.
Xia Lan got up and lowered her head to drink some rainwater in the pit on the boulder. She felt a little more comfortable.
After all, there was basically no air pollution at that time, and the rainwater that fell naturally was still very clean.
After drinking the water, Xia Lan stood up and took it according to her previous analysis. She continued to rush forward.
He had to find General Huan He and the others as soon as possible.
Now that the rain had stopped, it would be even more difficult to find them if they continued on their way.
Moreover, according to what Xia Lan had learned, he felt that Huan He and his men would definitely rely on the friendship between Qin and Yan to retreat in the direction of Yan Country.
However, Li Mu could definitely see through this.
Therefore, if Huan He and the others really retreated in the direction of the Yan Country, they would directly enter the enemy's well-prepared pocket.
Xia Lan jumped down from the boulder and ran forward.
……
Inside the cave.
Seeing that the rain had stopped, Wang Ben and the others walked up to Huan He and cupped their fists,""Commander-in-chief, the rain has stopped. Should we continue our journey?”
Hearing this, Huan He stood up and looked outside the cave. He pondered for a moment and said,""Generals, where do you think we should go?”
This failure had dealt a blow to the old general. He did not dare to make a decision easily now.
Wang Ben didn't dare to say anything.
After all, Wang Ben was the one who suggested abandoning Yi 'an and retreating to Feixia Land. In the end, the 60,000-strong army was wiped out, and only a few of them managed to escape.
"Commander, this place is only 30 miles away from the Yan Country. It's safer for us to escape to the Yan Country.”
"As long as we enter the Yan Country, we can ask the King of Yan to send an army to escort us back to Xianyang.”
This was what Huan He and Wang Ben wanted to say.
From their current location, there were three paths they could take.
They headed northeast and directly entered the territory of Yan Country.
They headed southeast and entered the Wei Kingdom.
Otherwise, they would head southwest and enter the country of Zhao.
Compared to these three directions, everyone was still inclined to directly enter the territory of Yan Country in the northeast.
After all, this was the shortest path.
Here, the relationship between Qin and Wei was far inferior to the relationship between Qin and Yan.
Just as the three generals were hesitating, Wang Li, who had a white cloth tied around his shoulder, slowly walked over.
"Commander-in-chief, father, General Rui He.”
"Little Li."
Huan He forced a smile and looked at Wang Li."Have you noticed?"
Wang Li nodded." Commander, I don't think going to Yan Country is the best choice."”
"Why?"
Yang Duan He frowned and asked.
"General Rui He, Li Mu must know about Qin Yan's relationship." Wang Li smiled faintly.”
"If it was Li Mu, when the heavy rain blocked his vision and he could not track them, he would definitely send an army to the border of Yanzhao to wait.”
"This…"
Hearing Wang Li's words, the few of them were stunned.
His words were not without reason.
"Little Li, where do you think we should go?”
"Wei Country?"
Huan He said.
Wang Li nodded.
"Commander-in-chief, we can cross the Wei Kingdom from Ye City and return to Great Qin via the Han River.”
"Even though the Wei Kingdom has an ordinary relationship with Great Qin, they won't make things difficult for us without a reason.”
Upon hearing Wang Li's words, the few of them looked at each other and hesitated.
However, at this moment-
"Who is it?"
Outside the cave, the guard in charge of guarding suddenly shouted!
Instantly, all the soldiers in the cave drew their swords as if they were facing a great enemy!
"I am the commander-in-chief's short soldier, Hundred General Lan!"
Xia Lan's voice came from outside the cave.
Everyone in the cave was stunned when they heard this.
"Bai Jianglan?"
Wang Ben found it unbelievable.
Surrounded by the enemy, he actually charged out!？
