"At the beginning we caught their sights very quickly and then ...... We caught up with them, and the two sides began to chase...... They had some of them who were very good and we didn't have much advantage in the chase, but as the distance increased......"

"Taking advantage of their lack of horsepower, Chang Guerrilla gambled and accelerated the pursuit...... As a result, the desperate opponent who was chased...... After the break, after annihilating this part of the enemy army after the break, the time is also approaching dusk...... Set up camp on the spot...... Interrogate the captives and learn that the other party is ready to continue the sneak attack......"

In this way, while thinking about it, while telling, Guo Zheng restored the complete story of attacking, pursuing, winning, camping, interrogating, dividing troops, and continuing the pursuit little by little in front of the veterans Tan Zhong and Zhen Bingliang.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether the story itself is complete or not, what matters is whether it is logical or not, and more importantly, how Tan Zhong views it.

Speaking of Tan Zhong, we have to mention a small organization established within Changyingjun because of Guo Rong's ideas.

In the first year of Yuanhe, Guo Rong led his troops in Longxi, and Longnan fought successively, but on the way back to Chang'an, Guo Rong found that he did not know the situation in Chang'an, nor the changes in the Mobei Uighurs, and even the movements of the Qiuci reinforcements that he was most concerned about were completely unknown.

After learning from the pain, the "Little Fourteen" Yan Qing, with the assistance of Li Yan's wife, He Shuang, the son of the sword saint Pei Min, and An Daxian, the exiled prince of Zhaowu Anguo, set up an intelligence agency in the name of caravans that favored foreign places such as the Uighurs, Tubo, Dashi, and Tianzhu, which belonged to Guo Rong's own intelligence.

In the process of reviewing on the way back to Chang'an, Guo Rong found that he knew nothing about his main opponent in Longxi and Longnan, so that he was extremely passive under the city of Jingzhou.

Considering that there was destined to be a big war with the feudal town in the future, in line with the principle of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and not being defeated in a hundred battles, after gaining the support of Li Yu, Guo Rong relied on the reconnaissance battalion of the Changying Army, the military department, the staff department, the household department, the official department, and the seal department to set up a small organization focusing on collecting the trends and information of the feudal town.

In order not to attract attention, this small organization was not placed in the military department, not in the household department, or even in the imperial city, but directly hung under the name of the logistics battalion in charge of Sima Liu Yuxi, the marching army of the Changying Army, and the name was also very low-key, the Military Intelligence and Statistics Department of the Changying Army.

Although the name is low-key, it actually serves as the core organization for collecting, summarizing, and organizing information in the direction of the feudal towns, including the land, population, soldiers, generals, officials, and so on of each feudal town.

Why Guo Rong wanted to recruit Wu Shaoxiong as a staff member, why he dared to accept Wu Shaoxiang's surrender in the end, and why he dared to release Han Hong's younger brother Han Chong back to Bianzhou were all based on the judgment made by the information compiled here.

The veteran Tan Zhong is the main general of Lu Longjun's reputation, and the Military Intelligence and Statistics Department of the Changying Army naturally has relevant information about Tan Zhong, but it is not so detailed, only the general experience, and the temperament, habits, etc. are large blanks.

However, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

Chang Wanchao, who led 3,000 cavalry to the expedition, was shot through the horse's head by Wang Zheng's arrow, and after being captured, he was poured a large amount of hemp boiling powder with wine by the military doctor Liu Zongyu, and carried out a disemboweling operation under the condition that the technology and experience were extremely immature.

As a result, this cargo was hard enough, not only survived, but also lived quite well, and was woken up directly after the effect of hemp boiling was too strong.

After waking up from pain, not only can you move slightly, but you can also scream.

It's just that after regaining consciousness a little, he soon found that he was in great pain, unable to move, covered in bandages, and even disemboweled.

He not only provided the military strength of the Lu Long Army in the south, but also the surname, characteristics, and habits of the generals who led the team, and even explained clearly that his brother-in-law Mr. Liu likes to take dry roads instead of waterways.

Of course, the personal information about Tan Zhong that Mo Lingjun needed most was also mastered, and Mo Lingjun dared to make a plan and risk letting Guo Zheng and Pei Song infiltrate the enemy camp based on these.

According to the speculation of Mo Lingjun, Wang Zheng and several accompanying staff officers based on Tan Zhong's character and experience, with Wang Zheng's cooperation and Guo Zheng's adventure, they should not be suspected.

But not being suspected does not mean that you will be trusted, in fact, even if you gain trust, Tan Zhong will not accept all the words of Guo Zheng and others without sufficient evidence, and as far as Tan Zhong's character is concerned, he will definitely send someone to investigate.

Although the order is reversed, the speculation of Mo Lingjun and Wang Zheng on Tan Zhong's behavior by a group of young military academies is undoubtedly accurate, and with the foreshadowing of the information that Tan Zhong himself detected before, in the preconceived situation, it made Tan Zhong believe in the story made up even more.

In Tan Zhong's view, what Guo Zheng said is basically the same as the situation of his investigation on the road, and there will be a small amount of deviation in the middle, which is obviously normal.

After listening to Guo Zheng's narration, Tan Zhong combined his own investigation and gave the final conclusion.

"First pursued, then annihilated part of the enemy army, interrogated from the prisoners that the enemy army was ready to continue the sneak attack, Chang Wanchao led a large group of men and horses to chase directly to the northeast, leaving some people to stay behind to guide the way, and the other part of the people returned to pass the news and asked to send reinforcements, but before you could set off, you were suddenly attacked, and then fled all the way to me, can I understand it so?"

With a surprised gaze, Guo Zheng nodded, he didn't expect that all this was really the same as Mo Lingjun said, the veteran Tan Zhong, with his own brain, forcibly made up the incomplete story that several of them spent an hour to complete.

Not only did it be completed, but many unreasonable details were rounded by Tan Zhong himself, and the circle was seamless and flawless, just at this moment, Guo Zheng couldn't accept it.

For example, he only mentioned that he was attacked, but he didn't mention staying behind or guiding the way, and as a result, the old man himself directly created a scene where he was forced to flee after being attacked.

The problem is that the scene that Tan Zhong's brain made up is reasonable, after all, it seems awkward to send one or two hundred cavalry to deliver the letter, but there is no problem if more than a hundred people are responsible for staying, leading, guarding, and delivering letters.

Guo Zheng is now very curious about what Tan Zhong found today, which can make Tan Zhong judge like being old!

It's just that after thinking about the characteristic of Tan Zhong mentioned by Mo Lingjun is cautious, it is not excluded that this old guy made it up to test himself, and after being surprised, Guo Zheng looked at Tan Zhong with admiration and said.

"Handsome, wise!" Thousands of sycophants are not worn, after a grandiose sycophant, after that, Guo Zheng's painting style changed, "But, Tan Shuai, about that ......"

It's just that Tan Zhong didn't care at all, and without waiting for Guo Zheng to finish speaking, he stretched out his hand and directly interrupted Guo Zheng.

"Then Chang Wanchao should have asked you to ask for reinforcements, and why did you say a trap in the first thing after you saw Bingliang and the old man? How did you deduce the trap? ”

"This ......"

"Just say it directly, there are no taboos here in the old man."

"Yes, Tan Shuai, I will feel the trap, at first I felt that this time I followed Chang Guerrilla to go out too smoothly!"

"It went too well?"

Tan Zhong's expression did not change, but Zhen Bingliang's face was filled with disbelief.

"Guo Zheng, don't joke, how can this ......?"

"Bingliang, don't interrupt Guo Zheng, let him continue."

"Yes, Tan Shuai, you know, the ability to guerrilla is not strong......"

Tan Zhong smiled noncommittally, did not comment, but motioned for Guo Zheng to continue.

"After attacking according to Pei Shuai's order, we followed the trail all the way, but with our speed, we shouldn't be able to keep up with the other party, but after only ten miles, we found the other party's trace."

"At this time, the speed of the other party began to speed up again, chasing more than 20 miles, and when the horsepower of both sides was about the same, the other party suddenly left some people behind the broken back, as the broken people, often have the determination to die, most of the people are extremely brave, but there are so many knives that can't be pulled out, scared to pee their pants directly."

"It's okay to have a few guys, the question is how can an ordinary strange sergeant know the detailed objectives of a soldier......

Guo Zheng's words are already obvious, although there is any direct evidence, but so many coincidences are already very revealing, especially the waste dim sum of Chang Wanchao who is leading the team.

It's just that for Tan Zhong, these are obviously not enough, what he needs is strong evidence, not speculation, not to mention that he has another doubt waiting to be answered.

"Did you try to tell Chang Wanchao?"

"I didn't dare to tell Chang Guerrilla, but I told the lieutenant, and the lieutenant thought what I said made sense, and then went to remind Chang Guerrilla to be a little steady, at least after getting in touch with the rear, he was in pursuit."

"Yes, it's a safe move, and then?"

"Well, Chang Guerrilla gave the captain a slap in the face, leaving our regiment behind, and he himself took the rest of the soldiers and horses to attack overnight......"

Tan Zhong knew that at this moment, Chang Wanchao was most likely dead or captured, and of course the three thousand Lu Long elites were buried with him.

Tan Zhong closed his eyes helplessly, but his silver-white eyebrows kept trembling, and Zhen Bingliang, who was standing behind Tan Zhong, heard Tan Zhong's angry roar slightly.

"This damn waste, he doesn't have any brains at all, he jumps into such an obvious trap, he doesn't even want his life to grab the merit, he is incompetent, and it affects the three armies!"

After a long sigh, Tan Zhong opened his eyes, and the expression on his face returned to normal, only the slightly trembling sideburns and the already bulging blood vessels proved how angry the veteran was just now.

"What else?"

"Also, I suspect that the Praetorian cavalry chasing us deliberately allowed us to get here."

"Oh?" A glimmer of light flashed in Tan Zhong's eyes, "Tell me, why?" ”

"Tan Shuai, you must know that we are in a hurry to attack, and we have not carried anything that should have been carried, although we are camped on the edge of the battlefield, but there is no way to rest or get good supplies, it can be described as exhausting."

"And the other side is a man and two sides, and there is more than one marksman, I feel that if they want, a charge can catch up with us, but except when the pursuit has just begun, they keep their distance and pursue us for more than twenty miles, neither attacking nor accelerating."

"It wasn't until they approached our army's camp that the other side suddenly began to accelerate, and the opponent's marksmen also began to shoot wildly, so most of the brothers died in the last two or three."

"That's a reason, is there?"

"Tan Shuai, if I say it, I won't cut off my head."

"Beheaded?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Tan Zhong's eyes, and he had a hunch that what he was expecting had arrived.

"It depends on whether what you say is useful or not, if it is useful, the old man will fight for a satisfactory reward for you, if it is useless......"

Tan Zhong looked at Zhen Bingliang, who was a little nervous beside him.

"If it's useless, with the credit you have made now, I'm afraid you can only be a brigade commander under Bingliang."

"Tan Shuai, I have a feeling that the other party is not letting me go, but deliberately driving me in the direction of the camp!"

"What do you say?"

"Tan Shuai, don't hide it from you, after being ordered to attack, we all know that Pei Shuai will definitely send reinforcements, but who will lead the team, how many reinforcements will be sent, where will they be stationed in the end, whether they will continue to advance, and what arrangements will be made next, we don't know these things."

"Although the guerrillas arranged for us to ask for help, the target of the help is actually Pei Shuai, who is sitting under the city of Bianzhou, if it is daytime, we may still be able to find this camp, or we can meet soldiers and horses, but at night, Tan Shuai, you don't think that just a few of us can find the camp from the vast night, and ......"

"And it's still in the case of enemy pursuits, isn't it?"

"Yes! Well, Tan Shuai, you are ......"

Tan Zhong could feel Guo Zheng's unimaginable shock, which undoubtedly proved the correctness of his own inference.

"The other party has an absolute advantage, and in a cat-and-mouse situation, it is not difficult to force you to flee in one direction, so you suspect that you were deliberately driven to the old man's camp by the other party, so you suspect that it was a trap set by the enemy for Zhen Bingliang from the beginning."

"You feel that there is a problem, but do you have enough evidence, and if you say it directly, you are afraid that you will be cut down by the old man, and what is even worse is that you still have Chang Wanchao's order to ask for help."

After saying the last sentence, Tan Zhong smiled with mixed feelings.

From Guo Zheng, his biggest doubts were solved, even without Zhen Bingliang's factor, Tan Zhong did not suspect Guo Zheng's identity from Chang Wanchao's cavalry, after all, this kind of thing is too easy to detect, and it can't be hidden at all, so he is not worried that Guo Zheng is pretending to be the other party at all.

What Guo Zheng said in the end was actually his biggest doubt, Chang Wanchao sent a messenger for help to accurately find the location of his camp in a state of being hunted down, which was too mysterious.

However, if the other party is calculating Chang Wanchao from the beginning, from beginning to end, this is a trap of the imperial court, first calculating Chang Wanchao, and then through Cao Wanchao, a fool and idiot, he will lure himself over to kill him.

As for why the other party dared to accurately calculate Chang Wanchao, it was too simple.

Just think about the experience and encounters of Lu Longjun after crossing the river, there may not be spies of the imperial court in the coalition army of the three towns of Hebei, but Lu Longjun must have been calculated from the beginning!

Otherwise, how could the cavalry of the imperial court break through the perimeter alert so accurately,

Otherwise, why could the cavalry of the imperial court accurately kill the supply of Lu Long's army,

Otherwise......

Tan Zhong smiled and shook his head, there is no need to do otherwise, there is too much evidence, and he did not support the alliance with Tian Ji'an and Wang Chengzong, the two bastards, from the beginning.

It's all that damn dead eunuch Chen Hongzhi who keeps advocating and fanning in front of his current boss, Mr. Liu......

Now that he knows the other party's plan, in Tan Zhong's opinion, the purpose of last night's attack is also clear, that is, to delay time and confuse themselves, so that they can have enough time to swallow the cavalry under Chang Wanchao's command in one bite, and of course, it may also include more than 10,000 soldiers and horses who are in charge of guarding east of Bianzhou City.

Thinking of this reasonableness, Tan Zhong frowned.

"Bingliang, if I'm not mistaken, it's the soldiers and horses sent by Wei Bojun who are in charge of guarding east of Bianzhou!"

"Yes!"

It was Wei Bo's army and Lu Long's army that were attacked under the city of Bianzhou, it was Lu Long's army whose supplies were burned, the cavalry that was calculated to attack was Lu Long's army, and the soldiers and horses east of Bianzhou were Wei Bo's army......

There were only less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chengde crossing the river, which was the least among the three families, on the contrary, most of Wang Chengzong's people stayed in Hebei.

In Tan Zhong's opinion, all this is obvious when it comes to this, the only one who colludes with the court and betrays the friendly army is the Chengde army!

"Zhong Xianjun of the dog, Wang Chengzong of the dog, is really calculating!"

It took half an hour to completely calm down his anger, although Tan Zhong was already sure that Cheng Dejun was making trouble, but he had no evidence now, and more importantly, the biggest enemy now was the imperial court, and it was not the time to tear his face, and this dumb man was determined to lose himself.

It's just that Tan Zhong also believes that Wang Chengzong will not dare to continue to betray his allies, after all, the biggest enemy is still there, and more importantly, since he knows the court's schemes, then all this is easy to say.

"Shanliang!"

"In!"

"You go back and send someone ...... immediately" After a slight pause, Tan Zhong shook his head.

"No, if you don't personally bring people back, at least bring a team of cavalry back to Bianzhou, inform Pei Shuai, guard the camp, set up a fence, and don't give anyone a chance."

"Let Pei Shuai send me at least 30,000 additional foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry!"

"At the same time, let Pei Shuai tell Zhong Xianjun and ...... that the biggest enemy now is still the imperial court, and it is far from the time of civil strife!"

"That Changying army didn't go to Jiaodong, Li Shidao deceived us, if you don't want to die, you can honestly increase the troops together, let me take unified command, at least kill this Changying army first!"
