Helian Wu said: "I waited for the news when I sent out a report from the lowly position, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news. Three days before the defeat, I made up my mind to write another letter to the general, in which I humbled the general and asked him not to wait for the decree of the king outside, and to return to Luntai as soon as possible to defend the city. However, the general replied in a very stern tone, saying that he had been strictly ordered by the military department to never withdraw the army, and ordered me to transfer military rations and be served. At that time, the lowly position was very angry, and after more than 30 transfers, the wheel was already very empty, so where did the lowly position go to raise it? Don't you take the food and bedding from the people's houses. ”

Su Wu nodded: "The more the army fights, the more we must ensure the stability of the rear." ”

Helian Wu said: "So, in his reply, he explained the current situation of Luntai to him and asked him to return immediately. I don't want him to send an officer back with the letter I wrote, and humiliate him in public. This officer was Yan Ba who intercepted and killed the imperial guards of Weiyang Palace. ”

Su Wu nodded. Helian Wu said: "At that time, under the indignation of his humble position, he lost his mind for a while, tied up Yan Ba, and sent him back to the army. ”

Su Wuchang let out a sigh: "So that's the case!" ”

Hu Yanzan said: "Special envoy, at that time, the army was trapped in Heiyou Mountain, and the last general asked the general why he didn't retreat to Luntai, but he said that it was Lord Helian who took revenge for personal gain, and did not let the main force enter the city on the grounds that Luntai was in danger and could not support the army. I didn't believe it, so he ordered me to lead the right battalion back to Luntai to contact Lord Helian about the return of the army. The last general led the army back, and without saying a word, Lord Helian opened the city gate and welcomed the right battalion into the city. So, the last general sent someone to deliver the message, but before the letter arrived, the main force had been wiped out! ”

Su Wu was puzzled and asked, "Why is Li Guangli unwilling to return to the army?" ”

Helian Wu said angrily: "Until now, the lowly position is also incomprehensible. That is, late the night before the defeat of the army, a spy was captured. ”

Su Wu was taken aback: "Oh, what spy?" ”

Helian Wu said: "This person's name is Ge Rimu, he is very athletic, he crossed the mountains and dived to the west of Luntai City, swam in the moat, and climbed the city. However, the security in the city was extremely strict at that time, and as soon as he entered the city, he was targeted by Zhang Kang, a spy of the Yamen. But Zhang Kang did not startle the snake, but followed him to the old store in the city. In the middle of the night, the single deputy general in the general's mansion quietly came to the store...... "He recounted in detail the scene that Zhang Kang witnessed-

That night, in front of the old store in Zoumachuan, a black shadow rushed to the door, knocked lightly, the door "creaked" open, and the single officer flashed in.

The candlelight in the room casts two figures on the window, and the two are talking in low voices. Outside the door, the spy Zhang Kang crouched at the base of the wall and stared at the room. After a while, the door opened, and the single officer walked out quickly.

Helian Wu said: "After the single deputy general left, Zhang Kang reported to the lowly position, and the lowly official immediately led people to arrest Ge Rimu. However, this thief was very strong, and under severe punishment, he did not say anything about death. ”

Su Wu: "Oh? With a sound, Helian Wu continued: "At that time, the humble position thought that something was wrong, so he ordered someone to rush to the General's Mansion overnight to arrest the single deputy general, and he didn't want the single deputy general to have left the city overnight. On the third day, the main army was divided and surrounded by the Xiongnu Ten Route troops, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

Su Wu raised his head suddenly: "What do you mean ......?"

Helian Wu sighed: "There is no evidence, I don't dare to speculate indiscriminately, but I feel that this matter is too coincidental, and as soon as I caught the spy, the main force was wiped out on the third day." ”

Su Wu took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "It is indeed a very coincidence. Helenu, where is that spy Gerimu now? ”

Helian Wu said: "The defeated army of the second division retreated to Luntai, and Mao Dun led the main force of the Huns to attack the city, the situation at that time was extremely critical, and all the men in Luntai City were ordered to participate in the defense of the city, and the jailers in the prison were of course no exception. That Grimu took advantage of the unattended opportunity to sneak out of the cell and escaped. ”

Su Wu looked nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Then, what about the single deputy general?" ”

Helian Wu's eyes looked at Hu Yanzan, and Yan Zan lowered his head and said, "The last general should be damned, he killed this single deputy general when he led the army to mutiny." ”

Su Wu couldn't help but sigh, and said to Helian Wu: "All the insiders either die or flee, it seems that this matter has become an unsolved case." ”

Helian Wu sighed: "I complain about my carelessness, I didn't take a good look at that spy, otherwise I would ......"

Su Wu said: "You can't be blamed for this. The Xiongnu are attacking the city, the situation is urgent, and there is nothing wrong with you dealing with it like this. ”

Helian Wu said: "Lord Xie is sympathetic. ”

Su Wu nodded: "Okay, let's get here today, you go down to rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Wei Tuqi, you go and arrange for them to live in the West Cross Courtyard. ”

Yu Tuqi agreed and led the two out of the door. Su Wu looked at the backs of the two and took a deep breath.
