The actions of the Japanese army did not escape the eyes of the detectives, and they soon discovered that the Japanese army Ashigaru was packing his bags, packing up his tents, and collecting all kinds of flags.

When Wang Rong received the news from the Detective Division, he asked, "Fifth, you have worked hard to reward the brothers of the Detective Affairs Division with wine and meat."

The fifth candidate bowed and said, "I understand the lowly duty."

Wang Rong looked at Li Sujie, Zhang Gengxiao, and Zhang Yunshu on the side, and asked, "What do you think? Is it true that the Japanese army is retreating, or is it a fake retreat?"

Li Sujie pondered for a moment and took the lead in saying, "I think the Japanese army should really retreat, they have been fortified for more than ten days, and they have lost their troops and generals, and there is not much prestige left for the general in the entire temporary custody of Ping Changzheng. Shibasaki Keiyuki and Maeda Tatsusei have been in the army for many years, and they must be unconvinced, and this is the best time for the two to force Ping Nagamasa to retire. After all, it was their family's private soldiers who died."

Zhang Genghuang did not express any opinions, but stepped up his efforts to deal with the logistics affairs of the army; during these 10 days, the offensive and defensive battles were fierce, and the losses of personnel, medicine, and ordnance were innumerable.

Zhang Yunshu spoke, "Marshal, I very much agree with Jun Sima's inference."

Wang Rong then asked, "If the Japanese army really retreated, where would they retreat?"

Li Sujie looked at the map, pointed to Wuyuan City, and said, "I think they will retreat in the direction of Wuyuan and defeat Yin He's second division, and then they can go south to Lecheng and seize control of Hejian County."

Zhang Yunshu did not agree with Li Sujie's opinion this time, he pointed to Shuzhou and said: "The last general thinks that the Japanese army will withdraw to Shuzhou, which is connected to the Bohai Sea in the east and Lecheng in the south, and is relatively far away from Zhongshan County. If the Japanese army retreats here, they can safely repair and replenish it, intending to fight again."

Wang Rong listened to the thoughts of the two, shook his head, and said, "If I were the commander of my army, I would choose to go to Raoyang, and then go straight to Wusui, and then go east to Lecheng."

When Li Sujie heard Wang Rong's words, he said with a look of disbelief: "Zhong Ming, you can really be whimsical, this Anping County is where the capital of the Ji Kingdom is located, and the garrisons in the various cities must be sufficient. If the Japanese army attacks Raoyang, I think they will hit their heads and bleed."

Zhang Yunshu was also a little incredulous, and he questioned: "Junshuai, the two cities of Raoyang and Wusui are the two northeastern important places leading from Anping County to Hejian County. It is impossible for the Ji State not to deploy heavy troops in these two places, and once the Japanese army comes to these two cities, it will have to face the dilemma of having a strong city in front and a chasing army behind it, and I don't think the Japanese army lord will be so unwise."

Wang Rong looked at the two of them, pointed to the two cities on the map, and said, "I think you seem to have overlooked something, Zhao Luqi, the general of the Ji State, is gathering the army that the Ji State can use. This will weaken the strength of Anping County, and I think that Rao Yang and Wu Sui's current strength is less than half of what they usually are."

Zhang Yunshu thought for a while and asked, "Fifth, is there any information about Anping County?"

The fifth candidate nodded and said, "Indeed, many of the Ji *** teams in Anping County have been transferred to Hejian County. And the Ji State has already lost most of its territory, and the only troops they can mobilize are the armies of Anping County and Qinghe County."

Zhang Yunshu repeated: "In other words, most of the Ji *** team in Anping County has been transferred to Hejian County and transferred to Lecheng."

The Fifth Candidate nodded and said, "That's right."

Li Sujie also understood what was going on, and he directly put forward a bolder hypothesis: "Zhong Ming, if this Japanese army is more daring and goes south to take Xindu, will the Ji State be even more chaotic?"

Wang Rong shook his head and said, "I don't think the generals of the Wa Kingdom will make such a choice, what they want is to be able to destroy the living force of the Ji State. If they take the Xindu of the Ji State directly, such a long distance, they will be discovered early by the scouts of the Ji army, and then they will fall into the situation of being besieged by the Ji army."

After Wang Rong finished speaking, he circled the three cities of Raoyang, Wusui and Lecheng on the map, and then drew an arc and said, "If they march along this line, the distance will not be long, and if they break through Raoyang or Wusui, they will be able to get a lot of supplies. I don't think the Japanese army will choose a more difficult path, so this arc is

The route that the Japanese army is about to take. Fifth, the inspectors of the Detective Affairs Department should always pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army."

The fifth candidate nodded and said, "Wow!"

Wang Rong then looked at Li Sujie and Zhang Yunshu and said, "We will send scouts out to closely monitor every move of the Japanese army, and at the same time report the news of the Japanese army to the Ji army."

Li Sujie nodded and said, "No problem, I will immediately mobilize Jing Saiyi Cong and the light cavalry of the Seventh and Ninth Divisions."

Wang Rong looked at Zhang Yunshu and said, "Since the movement of the Japanese army has changed, we must also change, so that the Ninth Division does not have to enter the city and waits outside the city directly."

Zhang Yunshu nodded and said, "Wow!"

The Tang army in Anguo City was quickly mobilized, and Ping Changzheng, as he had done a few days ago, walked out of the camp and looked at Anguo City, and then he noticed something unusual.

Hira Nagamasa stopped Kato Yan's packing operation, and he said sharply, "Kato-kun, quickly go and give the order, let all the samurai and ashigaru throw away all unnecessary things, and only take the armament, we need to withdraw the army quickly!"

Seeing Taira Nagamasa's nervous appearance, Kato Yan looked puzzled and asked, "Your Excellency Nagamasa, what happened?"

Ping Changzheng walked into the camp tent and put on the armor on the wooden frame, but the big armor of the Wa Kingdom was very cumbersome, and it took the help of two people to put it on.

Ping Changzheng saw the two shogunate guards who were still in a daze on the side, and said sharply, "What are you still doing there? Hurry up and help."

The two of them were scolded, and they woke up like a dream and stepped forward to help Ping Changzheng put on his armor.

Kato Yan couldn't ask the reason from Taira Nagamasa, but walked out of the camp. He was an attendant of the shogunate, and he was arranged by the shogun to be next to Hei Nagamasa, so he had to carry out the orders given by Hei Nagamasa to the letter.

Ping Changzheng's order spread quickly among the Japanese army, but it attracted countless complaints, and they came to the Central Plains and worked desperately, wasn't it just for these spoils. The wealth of the Central Plains is far beyond their imagination, every ashigaru, every samurai, is full of grabbing.

At this time, Ping Changzheng asked them to give up their loot, how could they be willing? Even if they give up, they don't know which one to leave and which one to give up. At this moment, the Japanese army, whether it is a samurai or an ashigaru, is guilty of choosing difficulties.

The retreat of the Japanese army was endlessly delayed in this difficulty of choice. When Ping Changzheng finally put on his armor and walked out of the camp, he saw that the army under his command still had not completed the preparations for withdrawal, and they were still in a dilemma about what loot they left behind.
