"Although the bandits looked at me very strictly, there was no chance to find the traces of Hou Qian, but his henchman Hou Fang saw it from time to time, and this time he escaped, I saw him coming towards Qianqian with my own eyes, and he has always been Hou Qian's right-hand man, where it is, Hou Qian will definitely be there, so the last general believes that Hou Qian must be in Qianqian County, and the general is an absolute opportunity to capture him at this time."

"Oh? I wonder what General Gao has in mind? ”

"After the defeat of the Qian army, it is more urgent than ever to return to Donglai, and at this moment, he only needs to control the main road to Zhuangwu, and then search and arrest in Qianqian County, even if he can't be captured alive, he has no place to hide, and he will be captured alive sooner or later."

When Gao Kui spoke, Guan Tong nodded again and again, and after he said all his thoughts, he almost didn't even think about it, nodded directly in agreement, and said: "General Gao has really helped me a lot, in this case, I will send someone to control the official road, set up an interception, and never let any of them escape from Qianqian." ”

"General Guan praised it falsely, but the last general has one thing to ask for, if it happens, the two of them must be captured!" Gao Kui gritted his teeth and said the names of these two people, eager to swallow them alive, and also showed that once he and the two were caught, he would never spare the two.

It's hard to ask what kind of inhuman torture Gao Kui suffered at the hands of the bandits, and he can't ask, but since he mentioned it, then he has no reason to refuse.

And at this time, the next day after Zongkou entered Qianqian to search for the traces of Houqian, he finally sent a messenger to send the news that he was in Qianqian County, Zhang Ping, who was guarding the city, received the messenger and personally brought him to the top of the city tower, at this moment Zhang Fei was standing on the top of the city tower, staring at the direction of Jimo, he was about to send Jimo, but Zong Kou had no news for a long time, so he was extremely worried, of course, the most important thing was the Jizhou army in Qianqian County, if Zong Kou did not act secretly, and his whereabouts were discovered, it would be dangerous.

From Qianqian to Yi'an, less than a hundred miles, the distance is too close in one day, no matter who on both sides suddenly attacks, he must not be able to react, but because he has a heavy responsibility, he must go to Donglai, so even if he knows that Zong Kou has an accident now, it is impossible to go to solve it.

"See the general!" At this moment, Zhang Ping brought the messenger sent by Zongkou to the city tower, and the moment he saw him, he quickly stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Fei nodded, and asked him about the situation of Zong Kou in Qianqian County, in addition to this, the main thing he has to do is whether Guan Tong has found them, if there is no Guan Tong What kind of situation is there now, this is the news he is most concerned about, this is about the whole battle situation, although Zhang Fei is reckless and impulsive, but at this time he does not dare to make a mistake, even if there is a fighter, he must be cautious, do not dare to be blind. ”

The messenger smiled bitterly and said: "General, the main energy of the management is now on the Houqian bandits, and he has not noticed the existence of General Zong Kou, in fact, judging from the current situation, General Zong can be transferred back, with the Jizhou army helping us eliminate Hou Qian, why let General Zong Kou go into danger?" ”

Zhang Fei turned around and glanced at him, his eyes widened, and he looked him up and down for a long time before he spoke: "This is what Zong Kou said?" ”

Zhang Fei's sharp eyes made the messenger uncomfortable, trembling, and said, "Yes... It's what I think in my heart, not what General Zongkou wants. ”

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, turned around and stood with his hands in his hands, Zhang Ping on the side wiped his sweat for him, Zhang Fei was obviously angry just now, fortunately he didn't punish him, it was also this kid's luck, otherwise even if his head didn't move, he would have to be whipped, and immediately scolded: "Bold, what does the general do to get you to talk more?" Don't get out of here! ”

"No!"

After the messenger fled and ran down the tower, Zhang Ping stood beside Zhang Fei and persuaded: "The general does not need to be angry with such a pawn. ”

"I'm angry?" Zhang Fei shook his head: "He just wants to show off his cleverness in front of me and show himself, although he said some bastard words, but at the moment when I was angry, I suddenly thought of the time when I entered the lord's account at the beginning of the year, at that time, I was not like this messenger, I wanted to show myself in front of the lord and the generals, but every time I would be reprimanded by the lord, I didn't understand at the time, what I said was not wrong, but then I realized how stupid my thoughts were at the time, and at this moment he must be the same, right?" ”

"There is a process, no one is born a general." Zhang Ping said with a smile.

"Yes, he only saw that the Jizhou army was going to get rid of the Houqian, but he forgot that once the Jizhou Army once the Houqian fell into the hands of the Guantong, we would not be able to enter Donglai as a bandit, and then Wen Chou knew that it was I Zhang Fei who led the Xuzhou Army into Donglai, but I was afraid that our army would not be able to return to Xuzhou alive."

Zhang Ping sighed slightly, and said: "It is precisely because of this that General Zongkou invited Ying to go to Qianqian County in person, he is not not indifferent to his own life and death, but too concerned about the safety of the whole army. ”

Zhang Fei suddenly fell silent, he thought of the Zong Pre who was born almost on the same day as Zhang Bao, this child is really clever, it makes people happy to look at, much more like the stinky boy who is difficult to see in his family, and the child caught Zhou this year, Zhang Bao's kid grabbed the abacus, and the kid Zong Pre grabbed a wooden sword.

Although he has been on the front line and has not been able to see such a scene in person, but when Zong Kou said it to him, although he forced a smile, saying that my old Zhang sold meat back then, and the son he gave birth to was born to make calculations, but in his heart, he really hoped that Zhang Bao, this kid, could also lift the snake spear in the future and help the lord complete the hegemony.

So after he heard Zong Kou talk about the content of the family letter, he was really unhappy, but in the last thought, this Zhou was originally a kind of sustenance, and it couldn't be taken seriously, so he put it down, thinking about it at this time, at that time, he and Zong Kou had a dispute because of this matter, although it was absurd, but it was really happy.

If he is not a father, he will never understand that the partial general who is submissive to himself actually seems to have been provoked at that time, and he actually blushed and fought with himself, it is incredible to think about it, but if he really can't go back to Xuzhou in this battle, let alone Zhang Ping can't face his family, even if it's himself, he can't explain to his younger siblings' family.

And that clever boy, how can I make him lose his life since he was a child, without a father, and Zongkou, such a capable cadre, Zhang Fei thought, turned back to Zhang Ping, and said: "In this way, you will take your headquarters soldiers and horses now, and go south overnight, but don't go too deep, if it is possible, try to answer the next Zongkou, if you really can't save it, remember not to take the risk of doing it, are you willing to take the order?" ”

"Although the bandits looked at me very strictly, there was no chance to find the traces of Hou Qian, but his henchman Hou Fang saw it from time to time, and this time he escaped, I saw him coming towards Qianqian with my own eyes, and he has always been Hou Qian's right-hand man, where it is, Hou Qian will definitely be there, so the last general believes that Hou Qian must be in Qianqian County, and the general is an absolute opportunity to capture him at this time."
