When Gao Tang heard that there was an urgent military situation, he immediately put on his clothes again and trotted all the way to the back hall. The spy was the man who took out the ring and bribed the Tarslav soldiers.

When the spies saw Gao Tang coming, they had to kneel.

Gao Tang waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, let's talk about what important military information?" He sat down in his chair as he spoke.

The spy said: "Back to the general, the general of the Tatar army did not dare to return to the court because of the defeat in the battle, and was ready to flee to the desert with his more than 60,000 horses. Depart early tomorrow morning! ”

Gao Tang was shocked when he heard this, groaned slightly, and immediately asked, "Is the news accurate?" ”

The spy said, "Returning to the Great General, this is what the villain learned from the mouth of a Tartar soldier. ”

"Then how could the Tarnu soldiers say this to you?" Gao Tang was a little skeptical of this spy's words, and he wanted to ask for clarification.

The spy said, "Returning to the General, here's the thing. The villain was eating in the tavern and wanted to inquire about the situation by the way. It happened to meet the Tatar army who were looting the people's fat and ointment in the city. They will flee to-morrow, and before they go away they will rob all the people of the city of gold, silver, and jewels.

While the villain was eating, a troop of ten Tatars entered. The leader of the group told them what they were going to do, and told the drinkers and the shopkeepers to take out the gold and silver in their hands and put them on the table. The villain sits alone in a corner. One of the soldiers came up to me.

When the villain learned of the situation, he gave the Tatar soldier dozens of silver carts in his arms, and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation from him. He just told me not to ask more. There was no way, so the villain had to take out the ruby ring that he had taken off. This ring was left behind by the villain's old mother after her death. The villain's old mother passed it on to me after she died. Because the villain has no brothers and sisters, the villain's old mother's only valuable ring was left to the villain.

Let the villain marry his daughter-in-law in the future. Since the villain came to join the army, he had to carry this ring with him. When something happened, the brother asked the villain how much silver the ring was worth, and the villain only said that it was fake and worthless. In fact, the ring was worth at least eighty taels of silver. This villain even went to the gold and silver jewelry store to ask!

However, in order to be able to get an important military situation from this soldier's mouth, the villain can only endure the pain and cut his love. The villain gave the soldier the ring left by the villain's old mother. The soldier was satisfied, and told me this. He also said that the general of the Tatar army had blocked the news of the defeat of the Tatar army from the Tatar court. He told the villain that for at least two months, there would be no new Tatar troops in the city of Anzhou.

As the villain had inquired about the Tarslave soldier as a merchant, he told me that he had been doing business casually for the past two months. The villain also asked the Tatar soldier if there was any blockade of this news, and the soldier smiled and said to the villain that the Tatar general had killed all the people who had been killed. In this way, no one will report back to the imperial court.

And even if the common people want to go to the small court to report, there is no way. Besides, who wants to care about this kind of thing. And the city of Anzhou is basically full of Han people, and they don't care about it. Therefore, the Tatar general was very sure of the news that the blockade had been lost. Even if someone really went to the imperial court to report, thousands of miles away, when they arrived in Tiandu City, their army had already fled to the desert.

General, these are what the villains heard. I didn't dare to delay, so I immediately took advantage of the night to leave Anzhou City and come to report to the adults. ”

After listening to this, Gao Tang smiled on his face, nodded and said, "Okay, you did a good job." Your ring will be returned to you by the General, and you will be rewarded again. You go first! ”

"Yes, General. The villain retreated. When the spy heard that there was a reward, his face was happy, and he bowed his hand to Gao Tang very powerfully.

Gao Tang nodded.

When the spy retreated, Gao Tang immediately asked the soldiers who were keeping vigil next to him to invite Chen Cheng to discuss important matters.

The little soldier was immediately commanded.

After a while, Chen Chengcheng came. The two arched their hands, Gao Tang asked Chen Cheng to sit down, and asked the little servant to serve tea.

Chen Cheng asked Gao Tang and said, "General Gao, it's so late, is there any urgent military situation?" ”

Gao Tang smiled and said, "Hehe, General Ben can't sleep, I want to invite Brother Chen to come over for tea and chat!" ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "General Gao, you can't fool me. ”

Gao Tang smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Chen knows General Ben very well?" ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "It's still a little bit of understanding. ”

That's when the tea comes up. Gao Tang invited Chen Cheng to drink tea first and raise his spirits. I also drank half a bowl, put it down and said, "Brother Chen, there is indeed an emergency military situation!" ”

Chen Cheng stopped the tea bowl in his hand, turned his head and asked, "What?" Could it be that the Tatars are attacking again? ”

Gao Tang shook his head with a smile and said, "No, if the Tatar army really comes, can General Ben still have a leisurely tea with Brother Chen?" ”

After listening to Gao Tang's words, Chen Cheng smiled, then took a sip of the tea bowl in his mouth, put down the tea bowl, looked at Gao Tang and asked with a smile: "General Gao, don't sell Guanzi anymore." Tell me quickly! ”

"Okay, Brother Chen, you can listen well." Gao Tang seemed to want to buy a pass, and said to Chen Cheng with a smile.

Chen Cheng nodded.

Then, Gao Tang told Chen Cheng what the spy said, 1510.

Chen Cheng was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and clapped his hands again and again.

Then, Gao Tang asked, "Brother Chen, smiling is when Anzhou City is completely empty!" What are we going to do? Do you want to ......?"

"Don't." Chen Cheng said conclusively.

Gao Tang frowned and asked, "What does Brother Chen mean is that we can't send troops to occupy Anzhou City?" Gao Tang asked tentatively.

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, General Gao, you must know that we will act according to His Majesty's will again." Once we rush out of this Pingliang Prefecture, then we will be bullying. ”

After listening to Chen Cheng's words, Gao Tang nodded and said faintly: "Well, what Brother Chen said is extremely true! It's just that this is such a great opportunity, isn't it a bit too pity not to occupy Anzhou City? ”

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, this is not a bit of a pity, but a big pity!" ”

Gao Tang asked, "Then why doesn't Brother Chen agree to occupy Anzhou City?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "It's not that I disagree, but I don't dare to disobey His Majesty's will." ”

Gao Tang asked, "Then what are we going to do?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, didn't you say it in your head? Won't there be a new Tatar army in Anju City in two months? ”

"yes, that's right." Gao Tang nodded and said.

"It doesn't take two months, it only takes half a month." Chen Cheng said.
