Chen Cheng drank another cup of tea and said, "General Gao, we have done everything we can do now." Guards were assigned inside, and spies were scattered outside. Let's just wait. Whether the Tatars attack or not is up to them. ”

What else can Gao Tang say? For now, we can only be passive like this.

Chen Cheng said: "I'll go back and eat some food and sleep." In the second half of the night, I came to watch the night. You sleep. ”

Gao Tang nodded.

Chen Cheng walked away with a prick, looking at his back, Gao Tang felt a little comforted. At least Chen Cheng hasn't panicked yet. Gao Tang thought to himself, "Why should I panic? Maybe I care too much about whether I can hold this Pingliang Prefecture. I care too much about how I perform with Your Majesty! These too many thoughts disturbed him. ”

found the crux of the problem, Gao Tang tried not to think about these things, and tried to focus on the current preparations. In this way, the panic and anxiety in my heart disappeared a lot.

He was no longer pacing in the tent at this time. Sitting quietly behind the desk, contemplation. But after thinking about it, I still can't think of the intentions of the Tatar army.

At this time, the spies who were staring at the 100,000 Tatar army came to report.

"Back to the general, the 100,000 Tatar army still hasn't moved."

"Oh?" Gao Tang nodded, his brows furrowed again. After a moment of silence, he asked, "The Tatar army did not march forward, so did they retreat?" ”

"Back off?" The spy scratched his head, as if he didn't understand what Gao Tang meant.

Gao Tang had to explain: "That is to say, is there still 100,000 people in the Tatar army?" ”

The spy scratched the back of his head and said, "There should be!" Their barracks stretched for three miles. ”

"What General Ben means are you sure there are people in this barracks?" Gao Tang asked again.

"This, this little one is really not clear." The spy said.

"Since it's not clear, let's go and find out. Let's see if there are any soldiers in the barracks where the army stretches for three miles. Gao Tang said the purpose of this investigation.

"Yes, General." The spy replied.

"Go ahead." Gao Tang said.

The spy arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the tent.

He had just remembered whether there were any soldiers in the 100,000 Tatar military camp not far southeast of the land of Pingdu. It was only after he tried to abandon distractions that he had the idea of studying the 100,000 Tatar army. It just so happened that the spies came to report that the Tatar military camp stretched for three miles.

Are there any soldiers in there? Could it be an empty camp? This question appeared in his mind. Just let the spies go and take a look. If it is an empty camp, it means that this Tatar military camp is here to contain their main force. You must know that more than half of the troops are deployed here in the land of Pingdu.

What Gao Tang thought was that the 100,000-strong barracks of the Tatar Army were just an empty shell to confuse them. In fact, the soldiers had already been transferred elsewhere.

The thought made me a little excited. If this is true, then this flat land can also be less defended. It is good to free up your hands to attack Pingliangzhou City, or to defend other places. In short, it's not so stretched.

Thinking of this, my heart began to go up and down again. He wished his guess was right. In that way, it would be equivalent to seeing through the Tarslavs' plan.

He began to wait anxiously again. waited until the second half of the night, when Chen Cheng woke up. Then he hurriedly told Chen Cheng what he thought.

Chen Cheng's eyes lit up after hearing this. I couldn't help but exclaim, "General Gao, what you guessed is probably true." No wonder the Tatar army camped five miles away from the land of Pingdu but did not attack. It turned out to be a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell. They left only a shell to confuse us, and the real cicada body is gone. ”

Gao Tang nodded and said, "Now I'm just guessing. ”

Chen Cheng said: "If it's true, it's not too late. Even if the Tarnu army wants the golden cicada to come out of its shell, they must shed this shell little by little, otherwise we will find out. ”

Gao Tang couldn't help but nod after hearing Chen Cheng's words, and said, "Well, what Brother Chen said is extremely true. But where did the Tatar army secretly withdraw and attack? ”

Chen Cheng thought about it after hearing this, and said: "I guess it's Black Tiger Ridge, but the strange thing is that there has been no trace of the Tartar Army in the Black Tiger Ridge in the past few days. The spies' reach had expanded to twenty miles away, and there was still no trace of the Tarnu army. ”

"You haven't retreated yet?" Gao Tang asked with a frown.

"It's also possible, but it's also possible that the army has other places to attack." Chen Cheng said.

"Could it be the new mountain road we're looking for?" Gao Tang asked.

"It's also possible. But you still have to wait for the spies to report it, what if the Tarslave camp is full? Aren't we wasting our tongues here? Chen Cheng said.

Gao Tang said: "Brother Chen is right. We'll wait for the spies to come. ”

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, you go to my tent to rest, and I will keep an eye here." ”

Gao Tang said: "I'm not sleepy at all. Let's wait! ”

Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, your body is your own. ”

Gao Tang said: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." I remember that I used to fight and I could go five days and five nights without sleeping. ”

Chen Cheng stopped persuading and waited for the spies together.

It's also an easy task to explore. This had to be done close to the Tatar barracks. But it was not easy to get close to the Tatar barracks. Because there were patrols outside the Tatar barracks.

The spy arrived that night more than a dozen feet away from the Tatar camp and hid in the bushes. Thinking about how to get close to the Tatar barracks. At least four or five feet away. Otherwise, you won't see anything.

But for him, the night was a disguise. But there was also a downside to the night, and that was that the soldiers slept in their tents. How do you know if there's anyone in this tent?

In the end, he planned to take advantage of the darkness to reach a place five or six feet away from the Tatar camp. By daybreak, you will be able to see what is really going on in the Tatar camp.

But there is still a problem with this, and that is how to get back. If you hide in the grass, you can only crawl when you come back. But crawling already alarmed the Tarslav guards. Wouldn't that be a bad thing?

One step at a time, the spies made up their minds and took advantage of the night to wipe it off. He was careful not to make a sound to break the quiet night.

Finally touched the grass five or six feet away from the Tatar camp. Looking from here, you can clearly see the faces of the guards reflecting the firelight.

Looking at the tents one by one, they were all pitch black, and I didn't know if there was anyone inside.

No way, wait! Wait until dawn.

And during this time he was not idle.
