    "My lord, there seems to be someone in front!"

    Several rangers of the militia left the camp before dawn and wandered outside. When they were about to find a place to rest, a ranger suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted vigilantly.

    The rangers all reined in their horses one after another, and looked in the direction of the ranger's finger.

    They saw figures indistinct on the road in the distance, and a troop was approaching them scatteredly.

    "It seems to be our brother."

    A ranger judged when he saw the military uniform worn by the other party.

    "Go, go up and have a look."

    The ranger officer was full of doubts. He kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and was the first to greet him.

    When they rode their horses and approached, they realized that they were indeed their people, but these militia brothers were covered in blood and mud, their faces were full of panic, and they were extremely embarrassed, as if they had lost the battle.

    "Brothers, why are you in such a mess?" the ranger officer asked after reining in his horse.

    "Hey, we lost the battle at Yingzui Peak Pass last night."

    A militia soldier looked behind him and found that there were no pursuers, so he stopped and panted to answer.

    "Have you lost a battle?"

    After the rangers heard this, the doubts on their faces became heavier.

    "Where is General Qin Lie?"

    "Who knows, some people say that General Qin Lie has died in battle, and others say that he was captured alive by the bandits."

    After the militia soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead, he walked towards the camp again without waiting for the ranger officer to continue to ask.

    "Let's go too, the thieves will catch up soon, it's not safe here." The militia soldier didn't forget to remind him when he left.

    "Go, let's go back!"

    The ranger officer also realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately turned his horse's head, leading a few rangers to ride straight to the direction of the camp.

    "General, general, something is wrong!"

    Xiaoqi General Qin Chuan was awakened in his sleep by urgent shouts from outside.

    "What a fart in the early morning, and the sky hasn't fallen¡ª"

    Qin Chuan was getting older, and after being woken up, he couldn't help but yelled at the outside world.

    "General, the eldest son was defeated by the bandit army at the pass of Yingzui Peak"

    "What?!"

    Hearing that his eldest son, Qin Lie, had lost the battle at the Yingzui Peak Pass, Qin Lie lost all sleepiness immediately, threw off the quilt and got out of bed, ignoring his boots, and rushed to the door of the military tent.

    "What did you say, say it again?!" Qin Chuan stared at the Ranger officer who reported the letter and snapped.

    "General, the Eldest Young Master's troops are retreating towards the camp, and the Eldest Young Master's life and death are unknown." The Ranger officer paused and said.

    Qin Lie was the most valiant general among his five sons. He had almost no defeats in the battle against the rebel army. It could be said to be his trump card.

    He asked Qin Lie to lead 10,000 civilian troops to counterattack the Yingzui Peak Pass. He thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't know that bad news came early in the morning.

    This sudden bad news made Qin Chuan, an elderly man, shake. If the Ranger officer had quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have fallen to the ground.

    "Where is the rout now?"

    After Qin Chuan stood firm, he rubbed his tired temples, and then continued to ask about the situation weakly.

    "In another half an hour, the rout will arrive at the camp." The ranger officer said.

    "Hurry up and find out the news, and see where my son Qin Lie is now. I want to see people when I am born, and I want to see corpses when I die."

    "No!"

    After the rangers saluted, turned and strode away, Qin Lie hadn't recovered from the bad news.

    "General, General, are you all right?"

    A maid came over with a washbasin, and seeing Qin Chuan standing there barefoot in a daze, she couldn't help asking in a low voice.

    "Quickly summon officers above the general level to discuss matters in the central army tent." After Qin Chuan said something, he turned and returned to his army tent.

    After the maid was stunned, she didn't expect that Qin Chuan would let herself pass the order. She didn't even know where the generals lived.

    The maid had no choice but to pass the message to the guard, who then went to the nearby military tent to find the messenger, and then passed the order on.

    Just a moment later, the disheveled generals rushed to Qin Chuan's central army camp. Qin Chuan was also fully dressed and had already waited.??They are gone.

    "Father, you called us early in the morning. I don't know what happened?"

    The fourth son, Qin Shan, saw Qin Chuan sitting in the main seat with a slumped expression, and couldn't help asking.

    "Your elder brother was defeated by the bandit army at the pass of Yingzui Peak last night, and his life and death are unknown." Qin Chuan sighed after glancing at the crowd.

    "ah?"

    After hearing Qin Chuan's words, the generals in the military tent were also in an uproar.

    Qin Lie, the eldest son, is a first-class fierce general in the 20th Corps of the People's Army, invincible and rarely defeated.

    But now such a brave and skilled general has lost the battle, and his life and death are unknown.

    While everyone was shocked, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and some generals even gloated in their hearts, and began to make their own calculations.

    Qin Chuan was able to control the 20th Corps only because of the five sons who are known as the five tigers of the Qin family.

    Now the most ferocious eldest son, Qin Lie, suffered a defeat and his life and death are unknown. The second son, Qin Yun, was seriously injured and unable to fight. Although the remaining three sons charged forward bravely, they were of the type with well-developed limbs and simple minds.

    These generals and their own family's private soldiers wanted to make contributions, but they were suppressed by the Qin family all the time, and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts.

    Now the two sons of the Qin family have lost two games in a row, which has damaged a lot of the direct line troops of the Qin family and greatly weakened the strength of the Qin family.

    However, although these generals were disturbed in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on the face, and only said some comforting words that were not painful.

    Qin Chuan is an old fox himself, so he naturally knows that these generals are ready to move, but he has no other way now.

    One of his two most important sons is now unknown, and the other is lying on the bed injured, which makes him feel extremely heavy.

    "All the ministries stick to the camp, without my military order, do not move without permission, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"

    Qin Chuan is also in a state of disarray right now. When he didn't get the exact news of his eldest son, Qin Lie, he could only ask these officers to go back and stabilize the troops.

    "You send someone to watch them, and if there is any change, report it immediately."

    After all the generals had left, Qin Chuan called his captain of the personal guard in again, and asked him to send someone to monitor the generals with foreign surnames, fearing that they would seize power at this time.

    Soon, the rout soldiers who retreated from Yingzui Peak Pass returned to the camp one after another.

    ?The news of Qin Lie's defeat also spread in the camp. Fortunately, Qin Chuan had already issued a military order to all the ministries to stick to the camp and not to move rashly. Although the people were panicked, the camp was orderly.

    Qin Lie did not come back with the rout, and as for whether he was alive or dead, he still doesn't know anything about it.

    Qin Chuan ordered the camp to increase the level of alert, and all the militia troops were ready for the battle, and the air was filled with the chill before the war.

    However, what is surprising is that they did not welcome the large troops of the Qinghe Army. At noon, only a messenger from the Qinghe Army appeared outside the camp, asking to see Qin Chuan, the Xiaoqi general.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
