Chapter 787: Crazy Counterattack (Forty-Seven)
Without drinking, the two of them had a simple meal, and waited in the lobby for the spies to report to see what made the nearly 200,000 Tatar army turn their horses and head southeast.
Time passed little by little, and candles were lit in the lobby, and dozens of candles illuminated the lobby as bright as day.
Chen Cheng sat quietly, while Gao Tang paced back and forth in the lobby. I was a little restless. After all, this incident seemed strange to him.
On the first watch, the second watch, and the third watch, the candles were half-burned. The spies have not yet arrived. Gao Tang couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, don't be impatient. There will always be an answer. ”
Gao Tang said: "I'm a person, that's it, I can't let go of my mind whenever something happens." ”
After hearing this, Chen Cheng smiled and said, "General Gao, it's useless for you to be in a hurry?" ”
"Also, it's useless to be anxious. Let's wait with peace of mind. Gao Tang smiled self-deprecatingly, and after speaking, he walked to a chair and sat down. Lean back in your chair and close your eyes to recuperate.
Chen Cheng saw Gao Tang close his eyes and recuperate, smiled, and also leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
Although the two of them seem to be closing their eyes and recuperating, no one's god is idle. They were all wondering what was going on. Pingliangzhou, which was originally unsafe, was preserved in this way. What an amazing thing!
The two of them leaned back in their chairs, their eyes closed, thinking, and at the same time waiting for the spies to arrive.
Until dawn, the spies still didn't come.
Gao Tang stood up, walked to the gate with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the slightly lit sky. Chen Cheng also got up and walked out.
"Looks like the news is coming soon." Chen Cheng said.
"I hope so!" Gao Tang nodded and said.
It was dawn, and the spies hadn't come yet.
After breakfast, the spies hadn't come yet.
"Could it be that something happened to the spies?" Gao Tang said with a frown.
"No, these spies are specially trained. Normally, nothing will happen, and besides, we don't have more than one spy. Chen Cheng said.
"Well, what Brother Chen said makes sense. Then let's wait. If I don't come by the hour, I'll send someone to inquire again. Gao Tang said.
"That's okay!" Chen Cheng nodded and said, it seemed that he agreed with Gao Tang's suggestion.
Gao Tang said: "Now that the Tatar army has retreated, we have nothing to do, so we will go back to the lobby and wait." ”
"Okay." Chen Cheng nodded and agreed.
The two entered the lobby and continued the long wait. And Gao Tang went out to look at the sun from time to time to see if the time had come.
When he went out for the fourth time, the time had come.
"Looks like I'm going to send someone again." Gao Tang sighed and said.
"Then send it!" Chen Cheng said.
"Someone's coming!" Gao Tang shouted.
Immediately a small soldier came.
Gao Tang said, "Go find two spies." ”
"Yes, General." The soldier replied and bowed his hand.
After a while, two spies came.
"My subordinates have seen the general." The two spies said together.
"I have something to tell you to do." Gao Tang said lightly, at this time he was already sitting behind the table.
"Command, please, General." The two spies said empty-handed.
"You two go out from Black Tiger Ridge, and then look southeast. See what caused the Tatars to turn around and go to the southeast. Gao Tang commanded.
"Yes, General." The two spies said empty-handed.
"Remember, don't let the Tatars find you." Gao Tang said again.
"Yes, General." The two spies said empty-handed.
"Okay, you guys go, go and come back quickly." Gao Tang waved his hand and said.
"Yes, General." The two spies said empty-handed.
"Hmm." Gao Tang nodded.
The two spies turned and retreated.
After the spies left, Chen Cheng stood up, smiled at Gao Tang, and said, "I'm going to patrol the defense." General Gao, wait here yourself! ”
"Okay, Brother Chen, please go." Gao Tang nodded and said.
Chen Chenggong turned around and left. As soon as I got to the gate, I ran into a spy who broke in.
Gao Tang also saw it and immediately got up to greet him. He knew that this spy was the one who went to the southeast to investigate.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Gao Tang asked anxiously.
Chen Cheng also stopped. And the two spies who had just been sent out also returned. Because there's no need to inquire anymore.
The spy was out of breath, and he was out of breath because he was in a hurry.
Gao Tang hurriedly said to a spy, "Go and pour a glass of water." Just go. ”
"Yes, General." One of the science subjects ran to pour water.
He brought water and gave it to the panting spies. The spy drank the water and took a few breaths before telling him what he had been doing.
It turned out that the Han army crossed the river and attacked Zichuan Mansion, which was located on the bank of the river. Only then did he lead an army of nearly 200,000 to support. By this time, the Han army had already retreated.
He just came back to report it.
After listening to the spy's words, Gao Tang and Chen Cheng were both stunned. They were already very clear at this time that the Han army's attack on Zichuan Mansion was obviously to encircle Wei and save Zhao. What does this mean? It shows that the imperial court is well aware of the situation in Pingliang Prefecture! Otherwise, how could it be that at this most critical time, the Han army attacked Zichuan Mansion?
"Alright, you all go down!" Gao Tang waved his hand and said.
"Yes, General." The three spies arched their hands together. Then they went down together.
Chen Cheng looked at Gao Tang and said, "It seems that the imperial court knows that we have this calamity in Pingliang Prefecture!" ”
"yes, how could it be so coincidental? And after an attack, he withdrew to Jiangnan! Gao Tang said.
Chen Cheng frowned and thought for a while and said, "General Gao, are we going back to the imperial court to resume our lives?" ”
Gao Tang thought for a while, but said, "I think we still have to wait for the edict of the imperial court." Don't make your own claims. ”
"Hmm." Chen Cheng nodded and said, "What I said about the U.S. economy is very true. Our attack on Anju City is already on our own. Let's stay honest this time! However, this court is also too powerful. ”
"Brother Chen!" Gao Tang let out a long sigh and said faintly: "It's not that the imperial court is too powerful. It's that Your Majesty is too powerful. ”
"What does General Gao mean is that these are all arranged by His Majesty?" Chang Chang asked in surprise.
Gao Tang sighed again and said, "Then what do you think? ”
Chang Chang frowned and thought for a while and said, "General Gao, I think about it, you are right. This must be Your Majesty not worried about us, leaving us a back hand! ”
Gao Tang said: "This shows how well Your Majesty knows us!" ”
"Your Majesty is the Buddha!" Long sighed.
