    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1000

    "Deputy General Wang, the scouts have reported that the bandit army has fled towards the northeast of Shuangshui Mansion. I order you to lead your troops to pursue them. Are you willing?"

    The generals in the big tent of the Chinese army in the imperial guard camp had bright stars, and Liu Yan, the general of Zhengdong, named a lieutenant general.

    "General, is this serious?"

    Seeing Liu Yan ordering himself to lead his troops to chase down the bandit army, the deputy general also stood up excitedly, his face full of disbelief.

    You must know that his deputy general is a member of the Minister of Rites, and he is not in the same faction as the general Liu Yan.

    Since the expedition, he, the lieutenant general, has not made any military exploits at all, but was sent to the back to escort the grain and fodder.

    Now Liu Yan uncharacteristically asked him to lead his troops to pursue the bandit army, so that the deputy general couldn't believe his ears.

    "Why, if you don't want to, I'll go!"

    When the deputy general Wang confirmed, another deputy general stood up.

    "General, why not let me lead my troops to pursue, I will definitely capture that Du Maverick alive!"

    "Who says I don't want to, General, I'm willing to go!"

    Seeing someone stand up and snatch this opportunity to show his face, Vice General Wang was unwilling, and immediately yelled loudly.

    "I said, Lao Wang, you should go to the back to detain the grain and fodder, and leave the war to me."

    "What are you talking about? I was also killed on the battlefield with a knife and a gun. Why can't I kill thieves in battle?"

    "That's all right, all right, Vice General Liu, your troops have come all the way and captured several counties. You eat meat all day long, so you have to give Vice General Wang a chance to show off, right?"

    When the two were arguing and blushing, Liu Yan, the general of Zhengdong, smiled and acted as a peacemaker.

    "In this case, for the sake of the general, I will let you go this time." Deputy General Liu said angrily.

    "Thank you, General, I will definitely wipe out all the bandits!"

    After finally getting a chance to play, the long-suffering Vice-General Wang was also very excited.

    "Well, I'll wait for you to return in triumph. When you kill the bandit chieftain, I will report your contribution to His Majesty." Liu Yan said with a smile.

    "It's not too late, General, I'm going to gather troops and set off right now."

    Worried that the night would be long and the dream would be many, this Vice-General Wang couldn't wait to set off, in order to worry that Liu Yan would change his mind.

    "In that case, let's go."

    Liu Yan didn't stop him, but agreed to Vice General Wang.

    Deputy General Wang bid farewell to Liu Yan, and with several generals under his command, the battalion general strode out of the military tent, and went to gather troops and horses to pursue him.

    "General, the man surnamed Wang doesn't deal with us. Why did you order him to chase the bandit army this time? Isn't this giving him the credit for nothing?"

    Seeing Vice General Wang leave the tent of the Chinese Army, Vice General Liu spoke in bewilderment.

    The people in the military tent are also Liu Yan's trusted generals, and they don't understand this very much.

    "Actually, we didn't find any traces of the bandits at all, so there were no bandits fleeing in the northeast direction." Liu Yan restrained the smile on his face and said.

    "ah?"

    After hearing Liu Yan's explanation, the generals were even more confused, not knowing what kind of medicine Liu Yan sold in this gourd.

    "I just got the news that tens of thousands of cavalry from the bandit army have entered the territory of Shuangshui Mansion." Liu Yan said solemnly.

    "The bandit cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and we are all infantry. Once we confront the bandit cavalry, it will be difficult for us to win."

    "And Du Xiaoniu and other rebels are hiding here. Once the rebel cavalry arrives, we will be attacked by the enemy."

    "So the order is to go down, and we will set off overnight after dark, and we will retreat to the Hexi Province." Liu Yan ordered.

    "Then Vice-General Wang?"

    The generals were also shocked by the news released by Liu Yan and were speechless, but they immediately thought of Vice General Wang who had just left.

    "The bandit cavalry has four legs, and we have two legs. There must always be someone to hold the bandit army back."

    "After the bandit cavalry went to surround and kill Vice General Wang's troops, we had already retreated to Hexi."

    After hearing these words, all the generals also suddenly felt a chill in their backs, secretly thinking of such a ruthless scheme.

    But they also knew that fortunately they belonged to Liu Yan's family, otherwise they wouldn't know how they died.

     Vice General Wang thought he was a lucky man, but he didn't know that the seemingly fat job was actually a death trap.

    "Everyone, don't make this matter public. If Vice General Wang finds out about our affairs, he will also withdraw. When the bandit army catches up, none of us will be able to leave."

    "General, don't worry, we will save it."

    Following Liu Yan's order, the troops of the Imperial Guard are also actively preparing for the retreat.

    In order to be able to withdraw to Hexi Province as soon as possible, they threw away all the luggage that they could not take away, and some heavy equipment, and all the members retreated lightly.

    After nightfall, the main force of the imperial guards led by Liu Yan left Shuangshui Mansion, and under the cover of night, marched and retreated in the direction of Hexi Province overnight.

    It was already the next morning when Du Xiaoniu learned that the guards in Shuangshui Mansion suddenly retreated.

    Du Xiaoniu was worried that there was fraud, so he didn't dare to go back to Shuangshui Mansion easily, but sent people to investigate repeatedly.

    It wasn't until the afternoon that he got the exact news that the imperial guards of Shuangshui Mansion had really withdrawn.

    However, the main force of the Imperial Guard had been running for a day, and Du Xiaoniu and the others couldn't catch up, so they turned their attention to the Imperial Guard troops of Vice General Wang who were still in the northeast.

    There are about 15,000 Imperial Guards under Deputy General Wang's command, and they are searching for Du Xiaoniu and the others in the northeast direction.

    But what puzzled them was that after chasing them for so long, there was not even a single ghost.

    "My lord, my lord, my lord!"

    When Deputy General Wang was about to expand the search area, a fast horse caught up with them from behind on the third morning.

    "whats the matter?"

    "Master Lieutenant General, the general has led his army back to Hexi." The scout cavalry reported loudly.

    "Retreat to Hexi?"

    Vice General Wang was also taken aback, not knowing why.

    "Why did you suddenly retreat to Hexi? When did it happen?" Vice-General Wang asked.

    "I left the night before yesterday. We were going back to Shuangshui Mansion to replenish supplies, but found that there was no one there."

    This scout cavalry has been wandering outside, and these scouts go out for a few days and only go back to resupply once.

    But when they went back, they found that the army had already withdrawn, but their troops were still here. Realizing that something was wrong, they rushed to report.

    "Report!"

    Before Vice General Wang could figure it out, another scout Qingqi came galloping from the east in the distance.

    "Master Lieutenant General, there are bandit cavalry in the east, a lot of bandit cavalry!"

    "What, bandit cavalry!"

    "how many people?!"

    "There are all over the mountains and plains, at least tens of thousands."

    "Oops, we fell for it!"

    "Send the order, the whole army retreats, hurry up!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
