Chapter 592: Battle of the Sanggan River II
At this time, one of his fire commanders whispered in his ear: "Brigade commander, could they be the team that Wang Shuai specially ordered?"
Hearing this, the brigade commander couldn't help but change his face greatly, and in the past two days, Wang Zhongsi, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army, specially instructed the patrol post in charge of the northern defense of the camp, saying that a team of scouts might return to the team in the near future, and they must be let into the camp at that time.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, but soon someone linked this scout team with the team in the recent rumors, it is said that two or three days ago, a team of scarred men and horses came to the Xiqi coalition camp on the other side, most of them were burned, not long after they entered the Xiqi coalition camp, the Khitan in the Xiqi coalition army actually withdrew from the camp one after another, and re-established the camp a few miles away from the Xi people, and everyone was puzzled by the division of the Xiqi coalition army.
It wasn't until the spy lurking on the opposite side sent the information back that everyone knew that the largest granary in the rear of the Khitan was burned, and the object was likely to be the Xi people. And according to the spy report, Li Yanzhong, the big chief of the Xi clan, did deny this incident, but there was still a sense of distrust between the two clans, so there was a scene of living in the camp.
Then, there were rumors that it was done by a scout team within the Tang Army, which was even more alarming, because the information that came back showed that there were at least tens of thousands of troops in the rear of the Khitan, and the garrison of the granary was also 3,000 people, and the guards were second to none among the Khitans, but they succeeded. According to the analysis of good deeds, it is very likely that these people are really the granaries burned by the pretending Xi people, the purpose is to cause the split of the Xi Qi coalition army, but the difference between the Han people and these nomads is too big, and more importantly, the language barrier, how did they get in, and how did they set fire? Some people say that Wang Shuai has received several strange secret reports in recent days, which will appear in the shape of a goshawk, and then become a letter in the hands of Wang Zhongsi himself, only he knows the content of the secret report, and some people speculate that it will be the scout team that will contact him, and there should be strange people like Taoist priests or Fang Shi in that team, so that they can sneak into the Khitan granary.
Wang Zhongsi did not say anything about this matter, but it made the truth of this speculation even more serious, and the heat of this matter has not yet decreased.
After the brigade commander returned to reality from his memories, he looked at these people in front of him, and it was not difficult to find that in addition to the Dawan horse he was riding, the other horse they were holding was a grassland horse, which should prove their identity from this point, you know, in the current gathering of 200,000 cavalry, there is a shortage of horses, but there is no resource to equip any army with two horses, and their grassland horses are needless to say taken from the granary of the Khitans.
At this moment, everyone knows Ye Tingcheng's identity, but they don't even have to check the waist card.
The admiration for the hero made him and his subordinates couldn't help but be in awe of this scout team, and they all performed a military salute, which made Ye Tingcheng's subordinates feel a little embarrassed, although their trip can be called nine deaths, but in fact, they are all living under the protection of Ye Tingcheng and the three of them, if there are no three of them, their scout team is afraid that when they go deep behind the enemy, they will be wiped out like the fifth team, not to mention what to win glory for the country and burn the enemy's granary.
"Heroes, it's our presumptuousness, Wang Shuai is in the camp at the moment, please come with me, he has been waiting for you for a long time. β
After speaking, this person turned the horse's head, and together with his brothers, he opened the way for Ye Tingcheng and the others in front, and galloped all the way into the Tang army camp, so that some Tang troops around who had nothing to do looked at these busy cavalry inexplicably.
After entering the camp, everyone turned over and dismounted, the brigade commander commanded his subordinates, and suddenly the subordinates ran away quickly, and soon, immediately ran out of more than a dozen Tang soldiers, looking at their dress and the smell of their bodies seemed to be in charge of the horses, these people smiled and took their horses from the hands of Ye Chengcheng and others, and headed towards the horse farm, you know, in this Tang army camp, there are more than 100,000 military horses, which has never been done in the past, and the horse shed is of course not enough to accommodate so many horses, so Wang Zhongsi specially let people build a horse farm, and there are thousands of Tang troops in charge of logistics to take care of itγ
However, they were surprised while taking away the horses of Ye Tingcheng and others, the whole team was equipped with Dawan horses of the scouts, they really hadn't seen it, these days the Tang army camp sent out thousands of scouts every day, but no team had such a good treatment, and they were still double horses, they were good at taking care of horses, they could recognize at a glance that these were the grassland horses in the Xi Qi coalition army, and the identities of these scouts were probably not simple.
"Could it be that they are ......" A Tang Jun who was leading a few horses suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.
"Shhh, everyone can guess that you are so slow to react, you are worthy of Zhang Er's stupidity, hahaha. β
"Hahaha. Everyone burst into laughter, they reacted to what these people were when they saw Ye Tingcheng and the others at first glance, but the sluggishness of their companion not only made them laugh.
However, the guy they jokingly called the second fool not only did not jump up as angrily as usual, but let out a long sigh and continued to lead the horse.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what kind of medicine this guy sells in his gourd.
"Hey, Zhang Shun, what kind of wind are you smoking?" A Tang Jun who was good with him temporarily changed the reins of his left hand to his right hand, and gently patted the guy on the head.
"Alas, I'm actually thinking, if I was also in their team, how good it would be, they all said that why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures, the same Tang Army, people go deep behind enemy lines to make contributions, and I hide in the rear to raise horses, hey, God is so unfair. He shook his head.
Hearing his words, these Tang soldiers who were leading the horses couldn't help but bow their heads, because this guy said their sore spots, of course, it is very safe to be a logistics staff and there is no need to go to the front line to fight, but this also loses the opportunity for promotion. In today's era when the Tang Dynasty is still martial, as long as a Tang Dynasty person, he dreams of winning glory for the country, and compared with those returning heroes, they can't wait to get into the cracks of the ground.
Suddenly, everyone fell into a silent atmosphere, and they didn't even respond to some familiar Tang Jun greetings passing by.
