Chapter 664: The Envoy from Chang'an (I)

When Ye Chengcheng told the reason for this time, everyone understood the reason why Zhang Yu'an chose to be silent, so they nodded one after another, and agreed with each other to keep it secret for him and not to leak the matter, otherwise Zhang Yu'an is very likely to be punished for not reporting it, not to mention being demoted by one level, I am afraid that it is possible to be demoted to a fire chief. But since it is for the safety of the clan, everyone can understand that after all, they are all brothers of the same battalion, and everyone is monolithic.

However, since Zhang Yu'an said it, Ye Chengcheng also suddenly thought that since even a small brigade commander like Zhang Yu'an knew about it, then as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had an entire intelligence network covering the Central Plains, and there were secret agents arranged everywhere, and Li Longji, who could even invite immortal-level cultivators, could not know this.

At this time, Ye Chengcheng's eyes suddenly flashed, it turned out that this was the case! He finally understood, it was clear that the Xi Qi coalition army had won and lost with An Lushan all the year round, but at this time he suddenly found an excuse to crusade against them, it turned out that Li Longji already knew the situation on the Turkic side, and he also wanted to eradicate the Turks, a hidden danger that even his ancestors had not been able to clean up back then, but before that, he had to pave the way for the Northern Expedition, that is, to eradicate the hidden dangers that might exist on the road. Otherwise, why was it just a crusade against a Xi Qi coalition army, and he actually had to concentrate the most elite cavalry under the four major knots to total more than 200,000 people, such a force was enough to wipe out any surrounding tribes, it seemed that he had already planned it.

Sure enough, at this moment, a herald of the Tang Army suddenly shouted nearby: "Chang'an! Someone is coming from Chang'an! It seems that the emperor has issued a new order." ”

"Chang'an?" Tang Wenzhong said in a lost voice: "How could there be an order to come from Chang'an? Our battle was obviously completed this morning, so how could it be possible that there was an order from Chang'an now? Doesn't that mean that Emperor Xuanzong expected that the battle here would be victorious at the beginning?"

"Nope. Ye Tingcheng touched his chin, nodded towards Bai Quan, and said: "You go and investigate, if my guess is correct, this envoy should have been inside the Tang army camp from the beginning, I'm afraid Emperor Xuanzong has already expected it, if the battle can be won, he will directly give Emperor Xuanzong's instructions." ”

Bai Quan nodded, and disappeared in place with a flash, although it was not the first time they had met, everyone still made an uproar of discussion, but what they discussed more was Ye Chengcheng's instructions just now. Because Ye Chengcheng put forward this hypothesis, many people agreed, yes, if it weren't for this reason, how could Li Longji know the outcome of the battle before the war, he must have prepared two sets of plans.

Sure enough, not long after Ye Tingcheng talked with the brothers in the scout camp, Bai Quan rushed back like a gust of wind, and after he saluted Ye Tingcheng, he immediately reported the information he had just inquired about.

Sure enough, the messenger who claimed to be from Chang'an had been hiding in the Tang army camp disguised as a logistics staff from the beginning, and he had not shown up until now, and had gone directly to Wang Zhongsi's tent just now, which made them stop arguing at once.

While they were talking, another herald ran towards the station of their scout camp, and when he saw a group of people on this side, he was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Ye Tingcheng in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards Ye Tingcheng.

"Team Ye is right, it's Captain Ye now, Wang Shuai asked you to hurry to the tent, if it weren't for the reminder of the soldiers, we wouldn't know that you had rushed back from the other side, fortunately, I thought of coming to your scout camp first to take a look, if you are not there, it will be difficult to find, it is said that your body is as fast as a ghost, just jump, you can jump directly to the camp of the Xiqi coalition army." The herald ran in front of Ye Tingcheng, and said it like a cannon, this exaggerated ability, even Ye Tingcheng, who occasionally likes to brag, doesn't know how to evaluate himself in his mouth.

"Can you pull it down, jump to the camp of the Xi Qi coalition army?Is that still a person?" Ye Tingcheng glared at him, making the herald a little embarrassed, of course he knew that he seemed to have blown his head, but Ye Tingcheng shouldn't care about this.

"Wait, what did you just say about the captain?" Bai Quan on the side pulled him over and asked, because he hadn't heard about Ye Qingcheng's promotion when he went out to inquire about information just now.

The herald glanced at him, and hurriedly saluted: "This person is the deputy of the white team, and you have also been promoted by half a level, congratulations." This promotion was won by Wang Shuai for the members of the sixth team of the scout battalion, and it was supposed to be cleaned up in two days after the surrounding battlefields were cleaned up, and after the military discussion was completed, an award ceremony would be held specifically for those who had meritorious service in this battle, but because of the envoys of Chang'an, the situation seemed to be a little urgent, so the list of promotions was announced in advance. The Ye team was exceptionally promoted to the captain of the scout battalion because of the first merit of burning Xicang, the original captain Li Zheng returned to Wang Shuai's side, the fire chief Huan Chenyu took over the position of captain Ye, and Bai Quan was appointed as the deputy of the team. But in fact, if you want me to say, this is just not easy to say on the surface, since Captain Ye has become the boss of the scout battalion, then the two of you are naturally the actual second-in-command and third-in-command, and there is no need to explain it on the surface. ”

Tang Wenzhong and the other three were not too surprised when they heard that Ye Chengcheng was promoted to lieutenant at first, almost all the credit for this battle was Ye Tingcheng's, although Wang Zhongsi covered it up for him, but just the two things of burning Xicang and capturing the two big chiefs of the Xiqi coalition army were enough for him to be promoted several levels in a row. And what they didn't expect was that Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan didn't improve too much, they thought that these two guys who seemed to be gods would take their place, after all, they barely made any effort in this battle, but in the end, these two guys only improved slightly, and they didn't know if it was their own intention or Wang Shuai's intention.

"Did the messenger say anything?"

"No, he just said something to Wang Shuai, Wang Shuai's face suddenly became not very good, and listening to his meaning, the time seems to be very urgent, they haven't started yet, saying that they will not start until you arrive. ”

"Do you want to wait until I arrive?" Ye Chengcheng felt a little puzzled, what was his identity, and he would have to wait for such a group of senior generals of the Tang Army. However, he could more or less guess that what the envoy was going to say should have something to do with the Turks, otherwise it would not be related to his speculation just now.
