Even a fool can judge this, this fire must have been set by Zhang Tong, these soldiers suddenly wanted to cry without tears, if it was really Zhang Tong who did it, then they would definitely be implicated, Zhang Tong ran away, but it hurt them, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the responsibility of the upper authorities. Eighty-eight reading,.

So when Sima Zhao asked Zhang Tong, the little soldier immediately stood up and wanted to draw a clear line with Zhang Tong to prove their innocence.

"Ran away?" Sima Zhao was furious and roared: "Come on, chase me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find him for me!" ”

All the troops took orders one after another and stepped on their horses, but in an instant they were embarrassed again, this black light was blind, and there was no direction, how to chase?

However, Zhong Hui had a lot of ideas, and said: "Zhang Tong dared to set fire, it must be in collusion with the Bingzhou army, so after setting the fire, he will definitely flee to Qi County, and the second son only needs to send someone to chase in the direction of Qi County, and he will definitely be able to intercept him." ”

As soon as Sima Zhao heard the reason, he immediately sent troops out of the camp and chased in the direction of Qi County.

Zhang Tong and the others lay in wait for the fire in the camp to reach the sky, and sure enough, many cavalry teams hurried back in the direction of the camp, presumably to go back to the camp to put out the fire.

Everyone secretly admired Zhang Tong's quick wit, if they ran all the way out of the camp, they would inevitably encounter these patrolling cavalry, it would definitely not be able to escape, and now when the patrolling cavalry left, they would have the opportunity to escape calmly.

Chen Yang saw that there were no cavalry coming behind him, so he stood up and said, "Let's hurry up, it is estimated that those cavalry will chase after them soon, and it will be too late if they don't leave." ”

Zhang Tong glanced at him and said, "Which way do you plan to go?" ”

Chen Yang was a little puzzled, Zhang Tong asked this question so strangely, didn't he say that he went to join the Bingzhou army after setting fire to Sima Jun's supplies, why did he still ask where to go, didn't he ask knowingly?

"Of course it's going north, isn't the state army stationed in Qi County?"

Zhang Tong said with a sigh: "This place is sixty miles away from Qi County, are you sure that you can compare to the cavalry by walking on two legs?" ”

Chen Yang couldn't help but be speechless, yes, the speed of the cavalry is terrifying, even if they run fast, they may not be able to outrun the cavalry, now because of the fire in the barracks, Sima Jun is in chaos, but soon they can guess who set the fire, and naturally they will soon send chasing soldiers, if Zhang Tong and they still advance along the road to Qi County, sooner or later they will be caught up by the pursuers.

"Then what can we do, we can't run and run, we can't fight and fight, can we just catch it?" Chen Yang said a little anxiously.

Zhang Jin and Ma Long also frowned, this situation was a bit unexpected to them, and it was indeed that some places were not considered properly, if they knew this, it was better to abscond quietly, so maybe the chance of escaping would be greater.

Zhang Tong was still very calm, in fact, he had already thought of the escape route, and on today's march, he had already considered the surrounding terrain and geography and chose the most suitable escape route.

Zhang Tong said: "It is definitely not possible to go north, no matter who it is, they will guess the direction of our absconding at the first time, and they will definitely pursue in the direction of Qixian, and it is unlikely to go south, so it will be farther and farther away from the destination, and even if it escapes back to Jiexiu, it will be a dead end; And to the west is Fenshui, the river is wide and the water is urgent, there is no boat, how can we cross it, and to the east more than 20 miles, is the continuous East Mountain, as long as we escape to the mountain, we can lie dormant, even if the Sima family sends more soldiers and horses, may not be able to find it. ”

Everyone listened to Zhang Tong's analysis, and nodded one after another, and now they can't care about anything else, only if they can escape with their lives, it is the best policy.

So the group got up, turned east, and headed in the direction of Dongshan.

Dongshan is more than 20 miles away from Sima Jun's camp, and these more than 20 miles are not far away, but if they can travel faster, it is possible to reach Dongshan before dawn.

Now under the cover of night, they could have walked more easily without worrying too much about being caught up by their pursuers, but after dawn the situation would be very different, since this area was basically plain, open as a dizzle, with an unobstructed view, the cavalry could find the target at a great distance, and once discovered by the cavalry, they had little chance of escaping.

Therefore, Zhang Tong decided that he must arrive at Dongshan before dawn, and now there are only about two hours before dawn, and the time is still quite tight to complete the twenty-mile road in two hours.

When they fled, they moved quietly, did not dare to ride horses, and now walking on the road, only to find that it is difficult to have no horses, but in order to escape, a group of dozens of people still gritted their teeth and looked all the way to the east.

The cavalry sent out by Sima Zhao chased all the way in the direction of Qi County, of course, they were not sure whether Zhang Tong and the others were on foot or on horseback, they marched along several roads leading to Qi County, carefully searching for the traces of Zhang Tong and others along the way.

However, it is a pity that they are about to approach Qi County, and they have not found any trace of Zhang Tong and others, not even a footprint or a horseshoe print, Zhang Tong and others seem to have evaporated from the world, no one is alive, no body is dead.

The cavalry of the Sima army did not dare to go further, and if they went further, they were afraid that they would encounter the cavalry of the Bingzhou army, and they would definitely suffer losses if they fought in such an unprepared situation, so they chased until dawn, and the Sima cavalry could only return in vain.

Without arresting the culprit, Sima Zhao couldn't help but be so angry that he ordered all the people in the logistics battalion to be arrested and tortured to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net.

The materials were burned under his nose, Sima Zhao felt a great shame, this Zhang Tong, I thought he was a famous general Zhang Liao, and Sima Yi appointed him to take on the important position of supervising the transportation of grain and grass.

But I didn't expect that this Zhang Tong would actually defect to the side of the Bingzhou army, and he also set a fire to burn the food and supplies that could sustain the army of 70,000 for several days, which would inevitably affect the operation of the cavalry army.

The chasing soldiers sent out came back to restore their lives, saying that they had not found Zhang Tong, which made Sima Zhao angry and also wondered, it seems that Zhang Tong did not go to Qi County at all, and now if he wants to find Zhang Tong, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and even Zhong Hui, who has always been witty, is helpless.
