For this battle between Dian Wei and Gongsun Zhan, it was not instructed by Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui even wanted Gongsun Zhan to go to Jizhou, get involved with Yuan Tan, and consume each other.

In order to ensure that Gongsun Zan went to Jizhou, Zhao Hui also deliberately asked Dian Wei to follow all the way.

But Gongsun Chan still took advantage of the appearance of the bandits and let go of the five thousand elite soldiers.

Zhao Hui also understood that Gongsun Zan was still a thief, and he still had to stay in Youzhou to fight against him.

Therefore, if Dian Wei wanted to deal with Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Hui did not stop it.

Since you don't want to go to Jizhou, let's stay.

For a person who is full of resentment towards himself, he can no longer be used, so he can only get rid of it.

It's just that the results of the battle came back, but it was a little surprising to Zhao Hui.

Gongsun Chan turned out to be missing on the battlefield.

All the people who died in the battle were counted, and none of them were Gongsun Zhan.

"It's a pity."

"I don't know if Gongsun Chan has a connection with the previous bandits."

Three hundred bandits have been exterminated.

The spies sent by Zhao Hui to the deep mountains have also found traces of Zou Dan's army.

I haven't seen anyone yet, but I'll be able to catch up soon.

Five thousand people, passing through the mountains and forests, even if Zou Dan is very careful, there will still be many traces.

The thorns that were split, the fires left behind in the camp.

There is also all kinds of garbage left behind by the soldiers.

5,000 people, if you want to hide them all, it is basically impossible.

Even if Zou Dan asked, every time he set off, he must bury the feces and the fire.

But every time someone doesn't do it.

Or just shovel two handfuls of dirt indiscriminately and deal with it.

However, although the traces left by them were discovered, Zhao Hui did not dare to directly send a large army in.

He could send 200 men to the mountains to exterminate 300 bandits.

But Zou Dan is now leading 5,000 people.

There are fewer people from the Zhao Hui faction, and it doesn't have much effect.

And there are many people who are sent, and it is easy to encounter enemy ambushes.

Even if he knew the traces of the Yuan army led by Zou Dan, Zhao Hui did not dare to send a large army easily.

In the mountains and forests, no matter how careful you are, it is easy to be ambushed.

The Yuan army led by Zou Dan is not a deserter now.

And Gongsun Chan has disappeared, and it is very likely that he has already joined Zou Dan.

Guo Jiadao: "Judging from the current news, Gongsun Zhan should want to enter the Taihang Mountain. ”

From the news sent back, Guo Jia had already seen Zou Dan's marching route.

Although it turns around, it is gradually approaching Taihang Mountain.

Not only did Guo Jia see it, but Sima Yi, who learned that Gongsun Zhan had escaped, also guessed.

He didn't have as much information as Guo Jia, he just heard that Gongsun Chan had run away.

Fan Yang is too guarded in the house!

"Gongsun Chan didn't disappoint me, and it was in vain that I gave him this opportunity. Gongsun Chan should have fled to the Taihang Mountains. ”

Sima Yi and Chen Lie sat opposite each other.

He didn't have information on the route of Zou Dan's army, Sima Yi just made his own analysis of Gongsun Zhan, plus a little guess.

In today's Youzhou, no matter where Gongsun Chan hides, he will be found.

The only safe place to hide is the Taihang Mountains.

The Taihang Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles, are really easy to hide thousands of people.

The whereabouts of Zou Dan's army will be discovered, also because they are still outside.

When they entered the Taihang Mountains, even if Zhao Hui sent tens of thousands of soldiers, it would be difficult to find them.

Gongsun Zhan's entry into Taihang Mountain was the result that Sima Yi wanted to see the most.

He is very eager for the secrets in the Taihang Mountains.

But Sima Yi himself didn't dare to go in now.

It is best to let Gongsun Chan attract Zhao Hui's attention in front.

It would be even better if Gongsun Chan could discover Zhao Hui's stronghold in the Taihang Mountains.

Jicheng!

Zhao Hui and Guo Jiajia personally interrogated the three bandit leaders who were escorted back.

What they know, they have already said.

Zhao Hui couldn't ask anything else.

Even if they were tortured, they would not be able to say more.

Even the little brother who swore to them before, now they can't find any of them.

Zhao Hui really failed to find a breakthrough in these bandit leaders.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu Xu Shu have already set their eyes on all the information sent from all over the country.

The three of them read every piece of information more than once.

Then we sat down together and discussed the possibilities.

Although the leader of the bandits didn't know that there was someone behind him.

But the thoughts in the hearts of the three did not waver.

is still firm, there are people behind these bandits who are making a move, connecting these bandits together.

Now it's certain that as long as you find those few thieves who pat their chests and assure them, everything should be clear.

There are several possibilities for this.

These little thieves may be Gongsun Zhan's people.

The second is likely to be a member of the family.

The third is those who are too guarded.

Although from the bandit leader, no valid information was asked.

But Guo Jia and others also knew a good news.

The person behind him, although he gathered these bandits, it was obvious that he could not completely control these bandits.

It's just a little trick to lure the bandits together.

The bandits in Youzhou are still scattered.

If there is really one person, like Zhao Hui did at the beginning, control all the thieves and let all the thieves obey their orders.

Zhao Hui really has to be very careful.

Although the big bandit gangs in Youzhou have long been wiped out.

But there are still many bandit gangs of dozens of people.

When they all come together, they can also form an army of 10,000 people.

If you want to eliminate all these little bandit gangs, it is still difficult to complete now, and it is somewhat unrealistic.

It is impossible for Zhao Hui to send a large army for the sake of these little thieves.

It can only be relied on by local troops.

But there are only a few dozen of these bandit gangs.

If you drill into the mountains, it will be difficult to find.

Fortunately, there are now militias in various villages.

It's just a gang of bandits of dozens of people, and more than a dozen militias joining forces, they can still resist it.

Under normal circumstances, no bandits would dare to rush into the village and rob their property.

The weapons and equipment of the militia, you and they have to be good.

And it's trained.

There is also a part of the militia, which is veterans who have retired from the war.

They are experienced, and they are not at all comparable to these bandits.

Guo Jia said: "Since the people behind them have planted internal responses among the bandits, we can also rearrange people to enter." ”

At the beginning, those large-scale bandit gangs were secretly controlled by Zhao Hui, and there were also people from Zhao Hui in them.

But since they were exterminated, there were no more Zhao Hui among these new bandits.

Since the other party has planted people among the bandits, it must not be just these few.

Among the other bandit gangs, there must still be people who have not been exposed.

It's just that if Zhao Hui starts to install people now, it may take a long time to find the other party's internal response.

After this incident, the other party will definitely not act again in a short period of time.

However, it is still possible to install people first, as long as a group of people are selected in the army.
