Seeing the spies coming, Gao Tang and Chen Cheng straightened up suddenly, their expressions panicked. Because there's more bad news lately than I can count.

The spy fell to his knees on one leg and said, "Report to the general, for some reason, the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops who came to the land of Pingdu turned around and went south. ”

"What? You said that the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops did not come to this land of peace? Gao Tang said in surprise, he didn't believe his ears anymore.

The spy said, "Yes, the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops did turn around and go south. The little one looks at it right. ”

"Are they coming to attack Black Tiger Ridge?" Gao Tang asked himself.

"No, general, the small one looks at the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops who are heading to the southeast, and it seems that they are still in a hurry." The spy said.

Gao Tang couldn't help but look at Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng was also looking at it. The two of them looked at each other, both confused.

Gao Tang looked at the spy again and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The spy said, "No. ”

Gao Tang nodded, and immediately ordered again: "You go to investigate again and report the latest situation to General Ben." ”

"It's the Great General." The spy arched his hand and turned away.

When the spies left, Gao Tang looked at Chen Cheng and frowned. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Brother Chen, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Chen Cheng also frowned and pondered. After a while, he shook his head and said, "General Gao, I really can't guess the intentions of the Tatar army. ”

"yes, I'm pretty puzzled too! These hundreds of thousands of Tatar slave troops are about to reach the land of Pingdu, as long as they reach the land of Pingdu, then Pingliangzhou can be said to be within reach. Because our forces can't stop it! How could they give up such a good opportunity? Gao Tang said very suspiciously.

Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "Unless the Tatar army encounters a new emergency military situation elsewhere, they can give up this great opportunity to go elsewhere." Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason why they would change their itinerary. ”

"Well, Brother Chen's guess has some truth. But what kind of military situation will emerge? And it's to the southeast. Could it be that the imperial court sent troops to attack elsewhere? Gao Tang also guessed and said.

"Is this possible?" Chen Cheng asked Gao Tang rhetorically.

"Is there anything else besides this?" Gao Tang asked Chen Cheng again.

Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Hey! Don't guess either. We'll know what's going on then. Now it is a matter of driving away the Tarnu army in the land of Pingdu in one go. ”

"Well, what Brother Chen said is extremely true." Gao Tang said, now he is not as heavy as he was just now, and he is alive again. He said again: "Brother Chen, you go to supervise the battle, and I will stay here and wait for news." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Chen Cheng arched his hand and said.

"Well, I must take the opportunity to drive the Tarnu army away." Gao Tang said.

Chen Cheng said: "This time I will completely annihilate the Tarsan army." ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Gao Tang said, at this time, when he heard Chen Cheng's words, his heart also swelled with excitement.

Chen Cheng clenched his fists again, turned around and strode out of the lobby.

Gao Tang watched Chen Cheng's back disappear outside the lobby, and his two hands couldn't help but clench his fists. There was a triumphant light in his eyes.

Chen Cheng quickly whipped his horse and tightened it for half an hour to reach the front line of Pingdu. When I went to the front line, I was surprised. The Tatar army withdrew. His own army has reoccupied the gourd waist in the land of Pingdu.

After being surprised, his body sank, which was relieved. But he did not dare to be careless, and immediately organized and deployed defense. I was busy until it was dark, and then I was relieved to return to Pingliangzhou City.

During this time, some soldiers reported to him, saying that for unknown reasons, the battle was raging, and the Tatar army suddenly retreated. And Chen Cheng understood that the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops did not come to support, and the tens of thousands of Tatar troops had only one way to annihilate the entire army. So they judged the situation and withdrew.

Chen Cheng rode his horse and walked back, feeling like pie in the sky. He walked all the way, laughing all the way. I couldn't stop laughing. When he arrived in the lobby of the Yamen in Pingliang Prefecture, he was still smiling.

Gao Tang also asked nervously: "Brother Chen, how is the battle situation over there in Pingdu?" ”

Chen Cheng sat down on the chair relaxedly, poured a cup of tea, took a sip and put down the tea bowl, and then asked with a smile: "General Gao, please guess?" ”

Gao Tang, who was anxious, shook his hands and said eagerly: "I said Brother Chen, where can I guess?" But it's very easy to look at your face! ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "General Gao, the Tatar army in the land of Pingdu has retreated. Laughing, we reoccupied the whole land of Pingdu. ”

"Really?" After listening to Chen Cheng's words, Gao Tang's eyes were pleasantly surprised.

"Really, absolutely." Chen Cheng said with a smile.

Gao Tang opened his mouth wide, exhaled a big breath, and then struck his palms and shouted loudly: "This is really good." God help me! ”

Chen Cheng took another sip of tea, and he was no longer nervous at this time. But while drinking tea, he still thought about the strange actions of the 100,000-strong army.

After thinking about it, Chen Cheng asked, "General Gao, is there any news about the 100,000 Tatar slave army?" ”

"Not yet, I'm anxiously waiting." Gao Tang rubbed his hands and said.

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Actually, our task is complete, and this is no longer important. ”

"Yes, Brother Chen is right, as long as we take in Pingliangzhou, then we will not be derelict in our duties." Gao Tang said, his eyes shining brightly, and his cheeks were full of red light. At this time, his whole person was completely alive.

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, in the future, you and I must not underestimate the enemy again." It is even more important that the enemy cannot be attacked because of his earnestness. ”

Gao Tang said: "Yes, Brother Chen, I feel very ashamed of what you said!" If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to pursue the defeated Tatar army, if I hadn't wanted to attack Anzhou City, Pingliangzhou would not have encountered such great trouble. This is all a dereliction of duty on the part of me, a great general! At this time, he was indeed ashamed in his heart. I can't wait to hit my head and die.

But he didn't hit it, thinking that he would continue to garrison this Pingliang Prefecture.

Chen Cheng also said: "I also agreed at that time! I'm ashamed to say it! ”

Gao Tang said: "Huh? I'm the supreme governor here, so it's naturally my dereliction of duty! ”

Chen Cheng said: "But I am your lieutenant. I'm also derelict in my duties, haven't I? ”

Gao Tang suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you and I are here to grab it." This time we're going to have some wine to celebrate. ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, it's time to celebrate. But I'd like to wait until I know where the Tarnus are.

"Okay, then wait. Ha ha. Gao Tang laughed.
