After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1254 Taking Dongfu Town

Not long after Ye Xifen and the others left, everyone had finished collecting the bones scattered in various places.

"This pile was collected by our 5,000-strong mountain hero team, but we don't know how to piece together the bones. These bones are scattered and don't belong to the same person. We need to ask the army doctor to come and piece them together," Aunt Wen said.

Shan Ying's team had a large number of members, but unlike Qin Xiaomi, they didn't know how to piece together the bones. They could only collect the bones, put them in bags, and pile them up in a safe area.

"Thank you all, heroes of the mountains. Leave the rest to us!" Commander Fan and Commander Zhen thanked the heroes.

But now it's wartime, and military doctors are more valuable than elite soldiers. Where would we find extra military doctors to do the work of piecing together bones?

The final solution was: "Use the large craters blasted out by the sharp weapons to bury the remains on the spot, offer a sacrifice, set up a secret signal, and after peace is restored, choose a good place to bury them."

"Okay, let's do it." Everyone agreed.

There was no coffin or burial clothes; they simply packed the body into a sack, then took two Wei army flags, one as a base and the other as a cover.

"Alright, let's bury it." At this command, the mountain heroes filled the grave together.

The Wei soldiers continued to stand guard.

Qin Xiaomi, the female guards, Shan Yingmen, Zhen Qianhu, and Fan Qianhu took out their own dry rations, lit three torches as incense, and everyone offered prayers together.

After the worship, we swept away some traces on the ground... We had to erase the traces of graves here, otherwise if the enemy occupied this area, they might dig up the bones again and desecrate them.

"Report!" came the shout as the scouts lying in ambush in Dongfu Town returned with military intelligence.

Commander Zhen hurriedly said, "Speak!"

Scout: "After the two generals from the east led their men into Dongfu Town, General Mu Er divided his troops into three groups, and he himself led a group of old scouts into the town... The town was empty, with no one in sight, but less than a quarter of an hour later, the two generals from the east appeared again with their remaining troops."

"They have now deployed troops to patrol the only route through Dongfu Town."

"Commander Mu said that the two generals in the east must have gone to see some leader, and there is at least one enemy force that has not yet been mobilized in Dongfu Town."

"Mu Erzongqi and his men were afraid of being discovered, so they didn't investigate further. But they risked lying in ambush in the town and didn't show any signs of poisoning. It seems that no poison was secretly burned in Dongfu Town."

The scouts were very versatile; while describing the military situation they had scouted, they also drew maps showing the distribution of enemy outposts and patrol routes.

"Dongfu Town is the only way for General Liang's troops, Zhong Baihu, and Prefect Shao to return to the prefectural city. We must retake Dongfu Town." As he spoke, Commander Fan asked Commander Zhen, "Old Zhen, what have you found in Dongfu Town? What made these enemy troops attack us like madmen?!"

Qin Xiaomi was also very curious.

Zhen Qianhu then recounted how they entered the center of Dongfu Town, were suddenly surrounded by enemy troops, and hurriedly ran towards the capital city.

"Thanks to Qin Dongjia and Shan Ying's team, we were able to turn defeat into victory." Zhen Qianhu was very grateful.

After all, those were three thousand cavalrymen, while Commander Zhen didn't even have a thousand soldiers under his command. How could he possibly defeat them?
"Suddenly appeared?" Qin Xiaomi frowned upon hearing this, and finally pointed to herself and Aunt Wen, saying, "We've discovered tunnels in our ghost village and the mountains... The enemy's sudden appearance suggests that the underground of Dongfu Town has been hollowed out by the enemy."

"In fact, many places in Tianmang Prefecture and Dongming Prefecture have been hollowed out by the enemy forces of the Eastern Desert."

Fan Qianhu had heard about the tunnels in the ghost village and the tunnels in the mountains. Now, upon hearing that tunnels might also exist in Dongfu Town, he angrily exclaimed, "Are these beasts from the Eastern Desert rats? They dig everywhere they go!"

Qin Xiaomi said, "The Eastern Desert is not rats, but more like germs... These underground tunnels are nothing, the divine tea in the capital city is the most terrifying." "Throughout history, our people have loved drinking tea, and tea is available in various places. If this divine tea, which can affect people's minds and tempers and is also addictive, is mixed into other teas... the poison of the divine tea will probably spread to every corner of the Great Wei."

Qin Xiaomi continued, "Therefore, through the Divine Tea, we can know that within our Great Wei territory, there are not only spies from enemy countries, but also traitors..."

Upon hearing this, Commander Fan was furious. He slammed his fist into the ground with a bang: "These bastards, His Majesty will not let them get away with this!"

However, Emperor Wuxing's throne was already unstable, and now there was a major war on both the east and west sides, as well as a rat plague.

Let's put it this way: even a celestial being would be terrified and run away in such a predicament.

Qin Xiaomi only wished: "May Your Majesty live a long life."

Only through killing can peace be achieved, so the Great Wei needs a resolute emperor who dares to kill to take charge.

“We’ve gone off-topic,” Qin Xiaomi said. “The enemy troops that suddenly appeared in Qianyang County, led by Commander Hui, have not returned since. It seems they are in grave danger. And these enemy troops that suddenly appeared in Dongfu Town are very likely to have come from the tunnels in Qianyang County.”

Those skeletons with hair still attached, thrown by the enemy, could very well be from the Hui Thousand-Household Command.

“Qianyang County, like our Ghost Village, must have had spies digging these tunnels decades ago.”

Commander Fan was furious again: "These bastards dare to be so arrogant, they really don't respect my Great Wei!"

LOL. Don't even mention that your Great Wei has been plagued by problems for over twenty years. Even if your Great Wei were at its zenith, enemy countries would still find opportunities to harm you.

If we don't continuously harm you, how can we weaken your national strength? How can we dare to send troops to destroy you?
They will weaken you to a point of weakness before sending troops to attack you.

It must be said that Dongmo is quite inspiring, with generations of people working hard for so many years.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Today's battle is most likely a feint attack... What is the purpose of the enemy's feint attack? What is their purpose in occupying Dongfu Town and not leaving? It is most likely General Liang."

"The enemy is not in a hurry to attack the city; they only need to besiege it. What they want to claim is General Liang's great achievement!"

"The Eastern Desert is a tribal alliance system, and judging from the struggle for General Liang, the various tribes in the Eastern Desert are also competing with each other, disobeying each other, and at odds."

Qin Xiaomi looked at Commander Fan and Commander Zhen: "From this point of view, the army that has not yet shown itself hidden in Dongfu Town may be troops from other tribes, who are only here to seize credit."

"Then they can't possibly have a large army!"

Qin Xiaomi became more and more excited as she spoke, saying, "Please ask the two commanders to immediately request General Chu's order to send troops to attack Dongfu Town... No matter how deep the rats hide underground, we must eliminate them before the Eastern Desert army arrives!"

"Here, take this. Let the military doctors prepare the poison and antidote from the prescription. We'll launch a long-range poison attack on Dongfu Town first, wipe out the enemy troops on the ground, and then find the tunnel entrance to poison these rats who dare not show their faces!"

Qin Xiaomi was quite generous, not only providing the analysis but also the prescription for the poison and the antidote.

“Old Zhen, Qin Dongjia is right. No matter what important figures are hiding in Dongfu Town, no matter what the enemy’s purpose in this feigned attack is, now that they’re right in front of us, we can’t let them escape no matter what… Take advantage of their small numbers and slaughter them all!” Commander Fan announced his decision, took the prescription, and handed it to Commander Zhen, saying, “You’re from General Chu’s unit. Go back and tell General Chu yourself that I’ll lead the troops to guard this place.”

They can't both go back and leave Old Commander Qin and the Qin family, young and old, to guard this battlefield, can they? That would be a laughing stock.
