After Su Jia left, only Xiao Tian and Zhu Yuanzhang were left in the camp......
"Marshal, it's already so late, why don't you go back to the camp early to rest......" Xiao Tian responded, "What happened today also frightened you, as for catching the traitor, just leave it to us......"
"With General Xiao here to accompany me, what is Ben Shuai frightened about?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care at all, he respected Xiao Tian, but said arrogantly, "No matter what kind of disobedience villain, General Xiao is by Ben Shuai's side, and the enemy has endless tricks...... If I am frightened by this little thing, it will be in vain for me Zhu Yuanzhang's first life-"
"But this matter is not trivial...... Xiao Tian was still worried, "There are enemy troops in the barracks, if you don't find out in time, our army's intelligence will let the enemy know one after another, this is very serious-"
"Don't worry, internal thief, we will definitely eradicate it-" Zhu Yuanzhang recovered his expression and said seriously, "But not many people know about this matter at present, if you want to catch the internal thief, you must not startle the snake...... I'm worried about General Su, seeing that she rushed out of the camp tent a little impatiently just now, and I'm really afraid that she will miss a major event because of a momentary 'impulse'......"
Xiao Tian thought for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, marshal, although Jia'er is sometimes impulsive, when it comes to emergencies, she behaves calmer than anyone else, and Jia'er's skills are above me, even if she encounters danger, she should be able to resolve it easily......"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Tian calmly, and his expression remained unchanged. It seems that the thought in my heart is again......
It was already dark, and the mountains and forests outside the barracks. Shrouded in the darkness of the night......
Tonight the clouds cover the moon, and the stars are very dim. Therefore, the inside and outside of the barracks were surrounded by darkness, and their vision was extremely blurred, and even if the two were on the opposite side of the camp, it was difficult to see each other's faces clearly. In addition, the fire in the camp tonight is very scarce, and the soldiers guarding the camp are only three or three, which can not help but make people sigh, the gloomy and lonely in the silence of the night......
However, compared with the barracks, the mountains and forests outside the camp are even darker and secluded, and the sounds of nocturnal animals in the mountain roads and forests are difficult to hear. The slightest noise of wind and grass will remind people of ghosts in the dark night in the mountains, and it will make people feel creepy in it......
But it's not that no one dares to go, and tonight there seems to be someone hurrying on foot in this strange dark forest -- a soldier who walked out of Han Zheng's camp silently seemed to have an urgent task on his body, hurrying through this forest mountain road.
Maybe it was because it was too dark tonight, and while the soldiers were hurrying, they couldn't help but shudder at the gloom around him, and he was alone. From time to time, I also feel that the surroundings are eerie and terrifying. Especially on the head, the tall branches above made an eerie swaying sound from time to time......
"Hmm......" For some reason, the soldier suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and the strange sound looming above turned into a less obvious sound. But it was the clearest movement of the night.
But it was just a cluster, and the soldier thought that he had heard it wrong, so he inadvertently looked back.
There is nothing behind. There are only traces of my own walking, and there is no end in sight. The mountain road is still dark.
Only then did the soldier decide that he was thinking too much, but for some reason the tension in his heart was getting heavier...... But when he really turned his head and was ready to continue on his way. The scene in front of me almost scared me to death......
"Ahh
Sure enough, just in front of the soldiers, a woman appeared at some point. The woman's shadow is charming in the night, although it is graceful but it is terrifying, and it is as strange as a ghost and suddenly appears in front of you.
The soldier really thought it was a ghost, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for a long time, and his legs trembled unconsciously.
The woman appeared for a long time without saying a word, until she slowly turned around from the side...... The face under the night turned out to be Su Jia - I saw Su Jia's cold expression, although she had a charming face, but in the dark night, she was really like a ghost, and she was living with the posture of a "ghost beauty", which made people addicted to it with fear.
Sure enough, when the soldier saw Su Jia, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and his feet were like nails, trembling for a long time and not daring to move.
The soldier didn't dare to speak, but Su Jia sneered and spoke first......
"Go further, but it's the enemy's position......" Su Jia smiled coldly, and asked step by step, "It's so late, I don't know why your Excellency wants to go to the enemy camp?"
The soldier was too frightened to say anything for a long time, but his eyes changed slightly, as if he was about to decide something......
"I want to ......" The soldier squeaked hard, and the hand behind his back suddenly pulled out a dagger, and he slowly approached Su Jia, and the intention to kill the mouth was obvious.
But how could this little trick stump Su Jia, Su Jia looked calm, pretended not to know, and waited for the other party to come......
"Let's die-" Sure enough, within five steps, the soldier suddenly showed the murderous knife behind his back, his expression was fierce, and he rushed towards Su Jia with a vicious voice.
Su Jia just smiled slightly, this clumsiness couldn't hurt herself at all...... I saw that Su Jia dodged the surprise attack with a slight side, and the soldiers rushed over their heads with knives.
The soldier was conscious, knowing that his conspiracy had been exposed, and it was impossible for him to flee back. So the soldier did not look back, and quickened his pace and ran in the direction of the enemy camp he had planned to go.
Of course, Su Jia would not give him this opportunity, the ghost knife on his waist came out, and a ghost shadow accompanied the wind and dust......
"Ahh
When Su Jia saw it, she smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, I finally caught you, you thief ......"
The soldier looked at Su Jia who was approaching step by step with frightened eyes, but he was seriously injured and fell to the ground, but he couldn't stand up. Extremely frightened, he shouted in front of him: "There is an enemy, ambush quickly!"
As soon as the order sounded, behind the forest opposite, dozens of Mengyuan crossbowmen suddenly burst out - there was indeed an enemy's eyeline here from the beginning.
"Hmph, I'm glad I stopped you here first, otherwise I would have gone any further. There's really no chance......" Su Jia looked at the enemy who looked like wolves in the night in front of her. He smiled calmly and coldly.
"Kill that woman—" The leader of the ambush commanded, and the crossbowmen scattered their arrows. "Whoosh, whoosh—" Dense arrows took turns. is coming towards Su Jia's face.
Su Jia looked calm, even if the night was hazy, she could still see the arrows clearly. Su Jia's expression was still, and the ghost knife in his hand was reincarnated, and a black ghost shadow accompanied the darkness of the night, adding a bit of charm. The ghostly sword burst out in the wind, and the sharp blade of his body cut off all the flying arrows, leaving countless shallow knife marks on the ground.
"Continue to release the arrows-" The night was dark, and Meng Yuan's ambush soldiers couldn't see Su Jia's moves clearly. I felt that there was a devilish black shadow blocking the arrows, so the leader continued to order, and the arrow rain flew out.
"Whoosh whoosh-" Another round of arrow rain hit...... "rub-" Su Jia increased his strength this time, half-jumped into the air, and the "Divine Sword Ghost" galloped down.
The ghostly shadows and swords intertwined in all directions came out alternately, and the devils were layer after layer, accompanied by a blood-colored murderous aura in the night. The "click-boom" was amazing, and the "Divine Sword Ghost" even cut off the big trees around the ambush army. Its power is terrifying.
"Ahh......h In an instant, he was cut into a blur of flesh and blood, and let out a scream. It's just that in this thick night, I can't see the tragic death at all......
Su Jia dared to come alone to arrest the thief. It can be seen that his courage and stretching out his hand, the leader of the Meng Yuan seems to have seen this. Be prepared to abandon the ambush.
"Kill the mouth and retreat," the leader instructed the ambushed team in the forest......
"Huh?" Su Jia also heard it. However, it seems to be too late to give an order, and when I come to my senses......
"Whoosh-" An arrow suddenly came out...... "Ah-" There was a scream, and the enemy who had just been cut and fell to the ground by himself was shot with an arrow in the forehead - it seems that Meng Yuan's ambush soldiers knew that the conspiracy had been exposed, and everyone was not Su Jia's opponent, so in order to extinguish the mouth, they retreated and killed the enemy camp with an arrow.
Su Jia reacted at this time, and when she stepped forward with her knife, she saw that the soldier had already lost his breath. And when Su Jia raised his head again and wanted to "question" the enemy with a knife, the enemy soldiers had disappeared into the darkness of the dense forest unconsciously......
"Damn, it's almost ......" failed to catch the live mouth, Su Jia secretly resented, "But this is okay, at least the enemy's meticulous work has been killed, as for dealing with the enemy on the battlefield, it will be ...... in the future."
Su Jia didn't stay where she was, and she was half disappointed, so she had to drag the body of the fine work and return to the Han Zheng military camp......
Han Zheng's military camp, the back camp is brightly lit, Zhu Yuanzhang has not left yet, and he is still talking about something with Xiao Tian......
"General Xiao is saying, I have to be very careful of that expanded Timur, right......" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, and it seemed that they had put the topic on the expanded Timur again.
Xiao Tian nodded, and said with a serious face: "Today's ambush, those subordinates of Timur are extremely orderly, which shows that his people are shrewd in training, if they lead troops to fight, I am afraid that their soldiers are also the army of tigers and wolves...... Although this man is far to the west, the marshal of the land of Shandong will be taken sooner or later, and if there is a day when he will face Timur in a head-to-head confrontation with Kuangkor Timur, the last general thinks to himself that he will be our greatest enemy......
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Xiao Tian's analysis, dragged his chin and nodded, and then said: "What General Xiao said is extremely true, Qing's analysis, this commander has to believe it-" Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Xiao Tian's point of view, but his tone was obviously more respectful of the hero.
Xiao Tian also knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and he was flattered and wanted to tear away the topic to get rid of the embarrassment, so he turned to discuss: "By the way, the battle of Tengzhou has been won, where will the next battle target be?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said calmly: "In the battle of Yizhou, the Wang family and his son were wiped out, and the main force of Shandong was completely dispersed; in the area of the Yellow River, Tengzhou won a great victory, and the enemy's support was blocked...... Now that the last base areas of Jinan and Jining have become isolated, as long as General Xu Da leads his troops to victory, almost all the territory of Shandong belongs to our army!"
"Is Jinan so......" Xiao Tian seemed to think of the connection point, and said, "Speaking of Jinan, I heard that the chief general stationed in the city happened to be Timur's younger brother Timur of the expansion—"
"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly taken aback when he heard this. But after calming down a little, he smiled knowingly. "It just so happened that General Xu Da led the troops to press the border. Let's see how capable Timur's younger brother is......"
Xiao Tian thought for a while, and then said: "This causeless Timur is not like his brother, it seems that there is nothing in itself, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, I am afraid that I can't see anything ......."
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have other intentions, and continued to ask about the Jinan strategy: "I heard General Chang say that there are also cronies and generals in the vanguard army who participated in the crusade against Jinan with General Xu Da, I don't know who this will be?"
Xiao Tian thought about it. Then he said: "It's Qin Yu, the general of Yizhou before...... However, it is said that he is a general, but this person is a rare general, and he is a veritable loyal person. If it weren't for the destruction of the Qin family by the Wang family and his son, General Qin Yu would not have turned against him, and maybe he would still be our difficult opponent now......"
"Listening to General Xiao, what you said, this Qin Yu seems to be very powerful?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.
"Yes, it's quite a day that the 'Four Tigers' cavalry generals of our army were surrounded by them, but they couldn't catch him......" Speaking of Qin Yu, Xiao Tian was a little excited......
"I'm back......" however. A familiar voice outside the tent interrupted Xiao Tian's excitement.
"Jia'er?" The person who came back was Su Jia, Xiao Tian turned around and said in surprise. Su Jia didn't come back alone, he also ordered someone to drag a corpse. His armor was stained with a little blood.
The corpse was pulled out by the enemy soldiers, not only was he slashed by Su Jia in the leg, but he was also hit by an arrow in the forehead. Killed on the spot.
"Is this ......," Zhu Yuanzhang asked a little puzzled.
"Tell the marshal, this is the meticulous work that has been lurking in our army......" Su Jia relieved his breath. Then 1510 will tell all the details of tonight's arrest of the thief......
"Is it true?" After listening to this, Xiao Tian was especially concerned about Su Jia's situation of being ambushed by the enemy alone. So he asked worriedly, "Jia'er, you're not injured, are you?"
Su Jia smiled slightly, withdrew the ghost knife in his hand and said, "I'm okay, but the other party was so scared that they all ran away, Ah Tian, you don't have to worry about ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Su Jia was alone, and he neatly completed the task of eliminating the internal thief, and he couldn't help but respect Su Jia for three points.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said to the two with a smile: "I didn't expect that not only General Xiao, but Miss Su is also a heroine among women, unyielding and courageous—"
"The marshal has won the award, and the general will be ashamed to be a ......" Su Jia still restrained himself slightly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to be calm, and continued to say excitedly: "Previously, this marshal rewarded General Xiao Tian as 'General Pingwei', and General Su was so brave to assist him, he should also have a corresponding military position, right...... Ben Shuai decided that now General Su will be the 'Thorn Flower Imperial Envoy', follow General Xiao to personally lead the troops, and lead the troops with Ben Shuai!"
Su Jia was naturally flattered, Xiao Tian seemed to be worried about something, and hurriedly lowered his body and said: "Marshal, such a reward, we and the two of us deserve it......"
"You don't have to be humble, you should be rewarded for such great achievements in the army, not to mention that this commander has completed the hegemony and needs people like you, what is the shame?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and signaled.
"That's not what the last general meant......," Xiao Tian continued to explain, "The marshal's reward, I deserve to be grateful, it's just ...... It's just that we and others, who originally followed General Tang Zhan's army division, and other important matters in the army are closely related to the vanguard army -- if we are rashly promoted and leave our posts, it will inevitably cause drastic changes in the structure of the officers and men of the vanguard army, and it will be difficult to recover...... Although the vanguard army has been transferred to various places, the elite soldiers and fierce generals are still the same, and before the war is stabilized now, it is better not to change the structure of the Northern Expeditionary Army too much......"
"It seems that General Xiao also thinks that the elite soldiers in your vanguard army are brave and invincible......" Zhu Yuanzhang responded softly, but the tone of this sentence was intriguing.
Sure enough, although these words were bland, Xiao Su and the others suddenly felt an inexplicable worry in their hearts when they heard it......
Zhu Yuanzhang slowed down and continued: "Since General Xiao said so, there is a reason for it, but there is no reason why you should not accept the military position that this marshal has awarded...... As for the military position of 'General Pingwei', it is still placed with you, and your military position is on an equal footing with General Tang Zhan -- it is okay if you are willing to obey the military arrangements of General Tang and others, and if you are willing to figure out how to lead the troops to go out with your own commander...... General Xiao is a big hero, the hero speaks, I, Zhu Yuanzhang - I have to listen, hahahaha......"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang inexplicably patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder, and then slowly walked out of the tent......
Zhu Yuanzhang left, but Xiao Tian still maintained his previous hand-raising action for a long time, and his eyes were slightly dull. For some reason, Zhu Yuanzhang's last words and deeds made Xiao Tian feel unspeakably uneasy in his heart......
