"Where are the people?"

Zheng Yuanyun, who was worrying about this problem, became a little excited when he heard it, and said: "Bring it here!"

Renben was also nearby. Zheng Yuanyun gave an order, and someone led a group of soldiers who looked like scouts and quickly rushed to Zheng Yuanyun.

When Zheng Yuanyun saw it, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

This soldier had multiple wounds all over his body, which seemed to have been left not long ago. Some of them were even oozing blood. The injuries were serious.

He immediately asked: "What's going on with you?"

"Your Majesty!"

The scout knelt down on one knee with his head deeply buried, and said with a weak breath: "General Ma had sent the young men and others to investigate on the road before. Who would have thought that when the young men returned to the vicinity of Xilong City, they encountered a small group of enemy troops?

Ambush, brothers... suffered heavy casualties!"

Zheng Yuanyun's face was gloomy. He didn't pay attention to the situation reported by the scout, but said: "You raise your head first!"

The man kept his head buried, so he couldn't really see his true appearance.

When the scout heard this, he didn't hesitate. After saying yes, he slowly raised his head.

Zheng Yuanyun's brows furrowed even deeper.

His head was raised, but the man's face was stained with blood. There didn't seem to be much difference whether he looked at it or not.

What's more, he is the commander-in-chief of an army with more than a million soldiers under his command. It is really impossible for him to know every soldier.

Zheng Yuanyun set his sights on Ma Chong. He was the one who sent him out, so naturally he should know him better.

"this……"

Ma Chong also stared at the face carefully and looked at it again, and asked uncertainly: "What's your name?"

"General, my name is Wang Hao. You personally ordered me to bring a group of brothers back to the rear to investigate the situation. Unfortunately, Zhou Bai and Wang Jiuxing have all... died in the battle!"

Having said this, Wang Hao buried his head deeply again, obviously feeling sad about the death of his comrades.

"Wang Hao...Zhou Bai..."

Ma Chong muttered these names silently in his heart and tried his best to recall them in his mind.

It was true that he sent the people out, but Ma Chong was not too familiar with these people.

At that time, he randomly assigned a group of soldiers from a barracks to serve as temporary scouts. The two sides only got to know each other briefly. Even now, he can still remember the names pretty well. How could he learn from that blood-stained face?

I wonder if this is Wang Hao.

"snort!"

Zheng Yuanyun knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his face, and he snorted dissatisfiedly.

I couldn't help but think of Xiao Du again. If it were him, it was absolutely impossible that even the soldiers under his command couldn't figure it out.

"My lord, the general recruited them in the infantry camp. Although the general cannot remember their appearance, I believe that the soldiers in the same camp will recognize them."

"Then go quickly!"

Zheng Yuanyun glared at him, but said harmoniously to the scout: "Don't worry too much. This is a big matter, and you must figure it out first."

The scout hurriedly said: "Save it for me, sir. Please don't worry, sir!"

But his body was shaky, and it looked like he was struggling to hold himself up.

"Come here, bandage him first!"

Zheng Yuanyun winked, and his confidants had already run to find the military doctor.

Let’s not talk about the bandaging situation here, just talk about Ma Chong’s side.

Knowing that this matter was of great importance, he did not dare to neglect it and returned to the army formation at an extremely fast speed.

But here comes the problem.

After so many battles, the organization of the army has long been changed, and even the infantry battalions have been constantly reorganized due to attrition in battles.

When Ma Chong went back, he could not find the barracks where he had gone. He quickly found many soldiers and asked around.

The news he got back left him stunned.

Except for the few soldiers who were sent out on scout missions, all the soldiers in that barracks had been killed in previous battles.

After asking around a lot, Ma Chong even asked the cavalry battalion and the logistics battalion. No one could answer his question accurately with confidence.

This is...

Ma Chong was helpless.

This is also his own fault. When Zheng Yuanyun asked him to send people to investigate the rear areas, Ma Chong actually didn't take it too seriously because it was the rear areas.

After all, the rear area has been occupied by their Qingyang Empire, and many soldiers have been left in each city for defense. However, judging from the progress along the way, there are not many troops to fight in Nantes Province.

Otherwise, why have they never encountered more fierce resistance except in Xilong City?

Therefore, Ma Chong was careless at that time. He did not send his cronies to do this, because compared to returning to the rear to explore, fighting at the front was obviously the place where more military exploits could be gained.

How could he still recall the few people he randomly found at that time?

But Master Zheng's side...

His helplessness was also facilitated by this. Master Zheng believed in him and allowed him to temporarily take over the post of chief scout. Now not only did he fail to get things done, but he might also make a big mistake. How could he hang around Master Zheng in the future?

After thinking about it, he really didn't have the courage to reply to Zheng Yuanyun truthfully. In desperation, he had to find a close entourage of his, whispered this in his ear, and led him back to Zheng Yuanyun.

There's a fate there.

"how's it going?"

Zheng Yuanyun had indeed been waiting for him. After being delayed for so long, his face showed a hint of impatience. When he saw Ma Chong coming back, he asked directly.

"Sir, the general has found the soldiers who were in the same camp as Wang Hao!"

Ma Chongqiang cheered up and tried his best to look confident.

Then, he pushed his trusted entourage to the front desk, pointed at the scout who was being bandaged and asked: "Take a good look, is it him?"

The follower didn't know whether it was true or not. Compared with Ma Chong's composure, he was a little bit shy. He said yes tremblingly and walked up to the scout, pretending to look at it carefully.

For a moment, I didn’t know how long it would be appropriate to wait until I could reply.

While he was hesitating, he heard the scout suddenly speak and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, why don't you recognize me?"

That person's surname was Feng Mingming. When he heard that the other person actually knew him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Ming was self-aware that he was not brave enough to make a name for himself among the enemy, so those who knew him must be those in his own barracks.

Immediately, I felt relaxed and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Wang, I, Old Feng, really don't recognize you when you are tied up so tightly."

"But your voice is right!"

He turned around and said to Ma Chong and Zheng Yuanyun: "Reporting to your lord, this man is indeed the brother who was in the same camp as the villain, his name is Wang Hao!"
