"Attack Yunyue Kingdom? What are you thinking? We don't even know where Chu Chen is right now. Launching a large army rashly, can you bear the consequences?"
The Zhao general heard this and couldn't help but shake his head, rendered speechless by the argument.
At this moment, the only thing he could do was pretend to be mute.
The Wei commander-in-chief thought for a moment and said, "We must first send people to investigate everywhere. We must find Chu Chen's whereabouts to know what this brat is trying to do."
"Besides that, the army will rest here and not go anywhere else."
"The army has been marching for three days. Although we just rested for an hour, it's far from enough. This is also why I don't want to attack Yunyue Kingdom rashly."
"Even if Chu Chen's ten thousand troops have disappeared, Yunyue Kingdom doesn't only have ten thousand troops."
"Commander, where do you think Chu Chen might have gone?"
The Wei commander-in-chief thought for a moment and said, "He has a few options. Either he attacks Zhao from another direction, but that's useless. Although the defenses along the way can't stop him, they can definitely send messages back."
"Our march will definitely be known by all regions. As soon as they ask for help, we can appear immediately."
"Unless this brat borrows passage from the Xiongnu and bypasses to attack Handan, which is also impossible. As everyone knows, Yunyue Kingdom and the Xiongnu have publicly fallen out, and the Xiongnu would not allow Chu Chen to pass."
"Could it be that this brat is going to attack my Wei?"
The Wei commander-in-chief frowned, took out a military map, and examined it carefully.
"Look, these three roads are the necessary paths for Yunyue Kingdom to attack my Wei. This small path is narrow, and it's impossible for a large army to advance."
"As for these two roads, they are very wide. If they want to attack Wei, they will definitely take these two roads. So, if we go and scout these two roads, we should be able to achieve some results."
The Zhao general immediately rejoiced, "Then let's quickly send people, General. If we're late, it won't be effective."
The Wei commander-in-chief smiled and shook his head, "No need to rush. As long as their army moves, we can catch up at any time. Once we find their location, we can formulate the next step."
After speaking, the Wei commander-in-chief immediately sent people to spread out and investigate everywhere, determined to find Chu Chen's location as quickly as possible.
However, hope was beautiful, but the reality was harsh.
The Wei commander-in-chief sent scouts to all the places he could think of, but found nothing.
Chu Chen's ten thousand troops seemed to have vanished, leaving no trace.
The scouts went out and returned three times, but the Wei commander-in-chief received no news. He felt as if he had become deaf and blind.
"Hurry up and keep looking for me. As scouts, you can't even find ten thousand troops? What use are you?"
The Wei commander-in-chief's face turned ashen, and he was furious.
In his opinion, these scouts had lived long enough to dare to fool him.
Chu Chen's ten thousand troops would have made the ground tremble even if they were blind, letting them know an army was coming.
But these scouts could turn a blind eye. For a whole day, they hadn't investigated anything.
If it weren't for the fact that he was severely short of manpower right now, he would have killed these guys on the spot!
The Zhao general sensed something was wrong.
"Commander, I think we need to investigate the ruins of the Yunyue Kingdom's military camp. Perhaps we can find some clues."
The Wei commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean? They've all run away, why investigate their military camp?"
The Zhao general frowned, "Commander, their ten thousand troops disappearing so suddenly, don't you find it strange? We must go to their military camp to understand what they did before they disappeared."
The Wei commander-in-chief thought for a moment and nodded, "What you said makes sense. Come, send a hundred men to investigate the ruins of the Yunyue Kingdom's military camp. Report any news immediately."
One hundred scouts were immediately dispatched to investigate the ruins of the Yunyue Kingdom's army.
The investigation results were quickly reported back.
"What did you say? Many branches were found in the Yunyue Kingdom's army camp?"
The Wei commander-in-chief frowned, not expecting such a thing to happen.
The Zhao general beside him suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Commander, I understand. This brat probably ran away long ago."
The Wei commander-in-chief looked at him and said with some curiosity.
"What makes you think so? Tell me."
The Zhao general gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, this matter is not that simple. It's impossible for this brat to make his army disappear suddenly."
"So, he probably moved away in advance. One wave of troops left, and the remaining troops created a diversion."
"The branches on the ground are proof that they didn't use branches to cook and eat, but were constantly stirring up dust on the ground, making it seem like there were many people in the army."
Hearing this, the Wei commander-in-chief's eyes widened, feeling a sense of disbelief.
"Something like this can actually happen. It's truly eye-opening."
The Wei commander-in-chief wore a wry smile. What Chu Chen had done this time truly broadened his horizons.
"If that's the case, Commander, what should we do next? We absolutely cannot let Chu Chen escape our sight, otherwise, many things will be uncontrollable."
The Wei commander-in-chief thought for a moment and nodded, "At this time, we should first return to Handan. Chu Chen might bypass and launch a fierce attack, destroying everything along the way and heading straight for Handan."
"As for Wei, it's farther from Yunyue Kingdom, so it should be safe for now."
"Therefore, I will be near Handan City, waiting for them with ample rest, and at the same time, I can protect Zhao."
Hearing this, the Zhao general was stunned. He naturally wanted to refute, after all, that was the capital of Zhao.
Even though the Wei army was here to support Zhao this time, they couldn't let their ten thousand troops roam around Handan City.
However, in the current situation, rashly refusing the Wei army might cause more unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, the Zhao general could only endure it for the time being.
"If that's the case, then I will take my leave first. We will return to Handan and await the Commander's arrival."
The Zhao general immediately led two thousand soldiers back to Handan. The crisis in Zhao was temporarily resolved.
However, a sword seemed to be hanging over the heads of both armies, ready to fall at any moment.
Although the two armies advanced steadily, their generals were uncertain in their hearts.
This time, they had encountered an enemy who was too cunning and had not given them any opportunities.
At this point, they had even lost track of the enemy.
