"He admits it, so he must be Guan Jinglin?" Tang Yuan suddenly asked: "Nalan Xin, if you go to interrogate those soldiers again, these soldiers are very strict-mouthed, I think there is a problem here." ”

"I think it's better to be tortured." Tang Hu said: "No matter how clever the interrogation is, it is not as pleasant as torture, bring these people to me, I will execute them personally, I don't need to put on torture instruments, just my big slap can make them tell the truth." ”

"Don't be bruised." Tang Yuan said: "In order to help Guan Jinglin hide his identity, these soldiers would rather die than say it, I like these soldiers." Ask them what their names are and if they'd like to follow me. If there are children in the family who can't rebel against the country, I don't embarrass them and let them kill themselves, but if there is no concern at home, or there are brothers in the family who can help pull it, it is better to take refuge in me. ”

Li Xian was in charge of this matter, and he went down.

Nalan said: "We should make two assumptions, first, he is Guan Jinglin, and second, he is not. ”

"If so, I think Taibao Guan Jingyun will take action immediately. There are also two possibilities, first, while our large army has not yet come, quickly counterattack us and rescue Guan Jinglin, and second, he has a very general relationship with Guan Jinglin, so not only will he not be saved, but he may also fall into the well. Tang Yuan thought for a moment: "There is another possibility, he retreats to defend and waits for their reinforcements. ”

"The third possibility is decent, and I think he'll take this action." Nalan said: "If he is not Guan Jinglin, then it is better to show that this person is loyal enough, although he deceived us, but saved Guan Jinglin." So where is Guan Jinglin? Whether they were among the captives, or escaped, or were already dead. Actually, it's all possible. ”

"It's unlikely that he is among the captives, but he is worried that Guan Jinglin is among the captives. This is not a small possibility. Tang Yuan scratched his head: "If Guan Jinglin escapes, then there is no need for him to hide it for Guan Jinglin." ”

"Not necessarily," Nalan believed, "his words may mislead us." ”

"You mean, this could be Guan Jinglin's plan? Deliberately let him fall into our hands? I think he's loyal and brave, let him be my man, and then he will fight back and give me a counter-strategy? Tang Yuan speculated.

"I don't rule it out." Nalan channeled.

"Oh......" Tang Yuan nodded and said, "Your words make sense, then let Li Xian come back, and these people will be slaves for a few days first." Just now you said that Li Jinglin is dead, if he dies, is it necessary for him to hide it? ”

"Either he doesn't know, or he has other ideas."

"For example?"

"Pretend to be loyal."

"These are our guesses, they don't count." Tang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry to deal with him first, lock him up." Now we should be concerned about the affairs of Han Dang. In addition, there are more than 3,000 remnants of troops on Li Jinglin's side, which are hidden in the mountains and have to be guarded. In this battle, we also lost more than 3,000 people, and the casualty ratio of both sides was 3 to 7, which was barely a victory. ”

"But we have fewer dead." Nalan said, "The armor you prepared for everyone is very practical, and it can block most fatal injuries. ”

"Huh." Tang Yuan smiled: "This is what a general should do. Besides, attrition of injuries is not much different from attrition of casualties, and sometimes it can become a drag, because when calculating battles, these injuries must be calculated. You can't ignore them, you can't chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"Report, General Han Dang was defeated and withdrew to the camp." Zhao Feixiao rushed in in a panic.

"Han Dang was defeated?" Tang Yuan was startled, and stood up with an incredible look on his face: "Why was he defeated?" Did he not burn it, or did his men fight poorly? ”

"Neither." Zhao Feixiao took a sip of water and said: "The enemy's reinforcements came in advance, and at first I thought that Li Jingyun only had 10,000 people in his hands, and he could only know that the opponent's strength had tripled. Fortunately, General Han Dang ran fast, otherwise he would have been eaten all. ”

Tang Yuan smashed the table with his fist and said indignantly: "How did Han Dang do it, can't he even do reconnaissance work?" Such a big mistake, is it something that he can make as a lieutenant? ”

There was silence in the account.

"No, we're in danger now, hurry up and withdraw our troops!" Tang Yuan suddenly stood up and shouted: "Tell the troops who are cleaning up the battlefield to withdraw quickly, take away those that are good to bring, and throw those that are not good to take in place, don't think about burning them, delay time, and quickly withdraw from Yunting Mountain." Go to Yangzhou City and wait for the arrival of the Chinese army. Zhao Feixiao, you quickly tell Han Dang and withdraw your troops to the city. ”

Tang Yuan was frustrated in his first battle against Yunting Mountain, and he didn't post a message to reprimand Han Dang, because he had already been defeated, what was the use of scolding him? Doesn't Han Dang know remorse?

Besides, Han Dang is now Cao Dingbang's person, and Cao Dingbang's backstage is the Queen Mother, who has a deep foundation and can't afford to offend. Now his backstage is the crumbling emperor Zhao Ce and the queen Tang Qi who can't get out of the palace gate, and these two people are really difficult to give him the backstage. For more than a year after arriving in Jingzhou, I occasionally received some small favors, mostly verbal condolences, and a little financial support, and nothing else.

The hundreds of war horses sent by Tang Qi with great effort were already unattainable.

Later, Tang Yuan figured out that it turned out to be Li Duwei of the Shandong Provincial Recruit Training Camp, because when the Sima family rebelled, his mother had died in the war, and he had no foundation in the Tang family, and was about to be eliminated from the military camp. Along the way, he didn't even have official documents, and he relied on the verbal command and his recruit training camp lieutenant token to get by, not to mention, he really let this kid be fooled. After all, it was difficult for local officials to go to the palace to find the queen to confirm whether this matter was true or not. If it is a fake, come back and arrest the boy, and then get some war horses, which are of no use to the magistrate, because these horses must be sent to the army without exception. But if it's true, these magistrates will offend the queen. The magistrates are all shrewd people, since the front has already let go of Li Duwei, and Li Duwei's Duwei token is a genuine product, then let him go, no matter whether the dictation is true or not, there is no need to be more real.

Anyway, it was the military, not the locality, that punished Lieutenant Li after that.

Now Li Duwei is a small grain supervisor under Tang Yuan, and he has finally retained the title of captain, and Tang Yuan is also quite interesting, he didn't resent Li Duwei for making things difficult for him back then, and promoted him to a third-level captain, and the next step is to be the commander of the capital.
