Chapter 15: Catching the Adulterer
The barracks of 5,000 people were encamped in the high mountains of Xichuan, but there was no noise outside the barracks, and even the sound of the horses was difficult to hear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAll of this shows that this army is a well-trained and elite division.
After Shi Yuan asked the messenger some more questions, he let the messenger leave. After the messenger left, Shi Yuan said to Li Hui: "There is something wrong with this messenger. ”
When Li Hui heard this, he showed a puzzled expression, and asked the military advisor, "What does the military advisor mean by this?" Could it be that the military advisor suspects that this person is a spy? ”
"De'ang, I asked the person who sent the letter during the day today, and he said that when Pujia Pass was besieged for 3 days, General Huo Jun sent him out of the pass to ask for help. De'ang, we all know that Liu Zhang's 10,000 army has no combat effectiveness, so why did he send people to ask for help after only being surrounded for 3 days, and our army's defenders in Pujia Pass are enough 10,000 people, and General Huo Jun, who guards the pass, has rich experience in defending the city, so I don't think he will send people out of the pass to ask for help because of these 10,000 people, this is the first doubt. ”
The messenger said that the Pujia Pass had been surrounded and impassable, and it must have been very difficult to get people out of it, but the messenger really came out. This second point. ”
"Also, not long after our army captured the city, this person came, it can be seen that this person is very familiar with the current movements of our army, just now he said that he learned from the people, just imagine how the people can know which unit is ours, that unit is Liu Zhang's. This is the third doubt. ”
"The most important thing is that at the end, after I deliberately mentioned the names of Fu Jian and Xiang Cun, the person who sent the letter obviously showed a surprised expression on his face, and then he said that he didn't know, but I didn't see it. This fourth point, and at the same time, the most important doubt. ”
After saying this, Shi Yuan had a smile on his face and looked at General Li Hui. I saw General Li Hui bowing his head at this time, his brows furrowed tightly, and it seemed that he was thinking about something.
"The military advisor has a point. Now that I think back to the conversation between the military advisor and the person who sent the letter, what the military advisor said is indeed reasonable. So this person is a spy of Liu Zhang's army? Li Hui thought for a while and said to the military advisor.
"Yes. Now I have great doubts about the identity of this person, but we are suspicious now, and we are not sure for sure, so we cannot alarm him now. In this way, De'ang, you have sent a confidant to closely monitor this person's every move these days, and any action he makes will be reported to me immediately. ”
"Yes, Strategist."
The night passed like this, and soon after dawn the next day, General Li Hui ordered the leading men to pull out the camp and the whole army to Pujia Pass.
After passing Fucheng, in the direction of going to Pujiaguan is Zitong.
Zitong is now a county seat, but it was a relatively large city during the Three Kingdoms period, second only to Chengdu and Hanzhong in Xichuan. After nearly three days of marching, the army of 5,000 people rushed to Zitong, but did not enter the city, but went around the city and hurried to Pujiaguan.
"Strategist, it's going to get dark soon. I definitely won't be able to catch up with the Sword Pavilion today, so I think it's better for the soldiers to find a place to rest for the night first, and then continue to hurry tomorrow! After three days of travel, the soldiers were exhausted. Li Hui said to the military advisor.
Shi Yuan actually didn't know! In fact, when he passed through Zitong again, he originally planned to let the soldiers enter the city to rest, but in order to create an eager appearance, he had to do so. As for why he made an eager appearance, of course, it was for the sake of showing people.
"That's right, Deang. How about what I told you to do? Any news? Shi Yuan asked.
"No, Strategist. My men have been watching him for the past few days, and there has been no movement. Li Hui said.
"Oh. Continue to monitor, the closer we get, the more careful we must be. I'm sure he'll be moving soon. By the way, order the soldiers to find a suitable place to camp in front of them, so that the soldiers can have a good rest tonight. ”
"Okay, Strategist. I'll tell the leader. ”
After a night's rest, the soldiers' spirits were much better, and the tiredness on their faces yesterday had been eliminated.
Nearly half of the journey took 4 days, which seems good, but the rest of the road is not too easy. Shi Yuan thought in his heart.
I've been in a hurry to march these days, and I haven't taught these two children to read, and it seems that when this is done, I'll have to find a regular teacher for these two children! Otherwise, it will be like this all the time, and the two children will be delayed.
"Father-in-law, look at what I painted, is it good?" Guangyou came to Shiyuan with a piece of paper and said.
Shi Yuan looked at this piece of paper, and at first glance it was half of a child's graffiti, which was crooked and very ugly. But the more Shi Yuan looked at it, the more he felt that the picture that Guang You'd painted was somewhat familiar.
"Oh, by the way, I said it looks a little familiar, isn't this the route we have traveled on this march!" Shi Yuan thought of this and was very surprised, wondering why Hikari would draw this.
"Why are you drawing this?" Shi Yuan asked.
"Because I thought that if I drew a map of the route we took this time, we would be able to look at it when we walked this road again, and those who hadn't walked this road could also look at it, so that they wouldn't be unable to find the way." Hikari said.
Hearing what Guang said, Shi Yuan was very surprised, this kid's idea is good! It's amazing.
"Just there, your idea is really good, but do you know, it's not enough to just draw this, you also need to mark on the map where there are rivers, where there are mountains, how high the mountains are, and so on, but it's okay to have it now, and when you are more literate, you will slowly draw this picture, okay?" Shi Yuan said happily to Guangyou. I thought in my heart that this child would be able to become a great man in the future.
After another 3 days of marching, the soldiers came to the nearest town in Lipu Jiaguan, Guangyuan. After arriving in Guangyuan, Shi Yuan clashed with the leader of the army, and Shi Yuan ordered the soldiers to continue to advance towards Pujia Pass, but the leader of the army did not agree. The leader of the army said that the soldiers were now very tired and that it was not appropriate to continue their march. Because of this matter, Shiyuan and the leader of the army quarreled, and General Li Hui had no choice but to be a peacemaker in the middle. In the end, I don't know what method the leader used, but he persuaded Shi Yuan to rest in Guangyuan for a night. The quarrel between Shi Yuan and the leader of the army was seen by the messenger.
That night, General Li Hui hurriedly ran into the barracks of the military division and said, "Military division, there is movement. ”
