Chapter 319 Who is the spy
The next day, Niu Jinda woke up. I don’t know if it was because the ancients had never used antibiotics or why, but the effect was very good after taking the medicine!
It’s just that this old killer is too difficult to deal with. He heard that he used the life-changing technique to save his life and wanted to marry his daughter to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan was immediately amused and cried, so he quickly refused.
Not to mention that I had never seen Lao Niu's daughter, I just saw Niu Jinda's face full of flesh. I think my daughter would not be able to see anywhere.
Although he was born in New China and grew up under the Red Banner, and his views are relatively positive, it is undeniable that Yang Fan is a member of the appearance association for women.
Niu Jinda did not get too entangled, but instead fell silent. After a while, he spoke:
"As the vanguard general, Zhongyi Hou must be careful. This time, I was hit by their tricks."
"Oh? Can General Niu solve his doubts?"
In fact, Yang Fan was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Niu Jinda was a general who had experienced many battles and could not be imprisoned even if he was defeated.
This defeat not only did the vanguard battalion almost wiped out, but even Niu Jinda was almost defeated on the battlefield.
"What a general means is a traitor in the Tang Dynasty's army?" Yang Fan frowned.
It turned out that after Niu Jinda led the vanguard to Songzhou City, the governor of Songzhou, Han Wei proposed that he lead 3,000 troops to fight head-on, while Niu Dajin bypassed Gansongling and sneaked into the back of the Tubo army in order to severely damage the sharpness of Tubo.
But things went against their wishes. Songtsen Gampo seemed to know their combat plan. Niu Jinda only attacked a tent full of civilians and was besieged on the spot.
Obviously, Tubo had already prepared something, just waiting for Niu Jinda to fall into the trap, which was also the reason why Niu Jinda and his team returned home in a great defeat.
You should know that the combat plan was only transmitted to Hou Junji through secret reports, and it was not disclosed to the public. It was impossible for ordinary detailed works to know the news.
If there are traitors, they must have held important positions in the army.
In Songzhou City, only Niu Jinda, Han Wei and Li Ke knew about this plan, and they could not be suspected of colluding with the enemy.
After thinking about it, Niu Jinda couldn't guess which part had a problem, which made them puzzled.
At this time, Niu Jinda was still a little confused and said uncertainly: "I am not sure either. If Tubo had predicted our combat plan long ago, it would be a bit unbelievable. Even Zhuge Kongming was not possible!"
Yang Fan nodded in agreement.
If the sneak attack was an empty camp, it might be said that the other party saw through the plan, but Tubo arrested civilians and pretended to be soldiers. This premeditated plan would be a bit intriguing.
Obviously, I learned the news in advance and prepared for it.
But now there is no way to check it out, so you can only be careful. Thinking of this, Yang Fan asked: "Thank you, General, please be more careful, but I don't know where His Highness the King of Wu is now?"
The army has arrived in Songzhou City for two days. Both public and private, and they should go to meet him.
After all, as the supervisor of the vanguard battalion, the combat department had to discuss it with him.
Yang Fan was quite surprised that he had never seen Li Ke appear now.
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Niu Jinda looked embarrassed and looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.
Finally, he seemed to have made some decision and said, "His Highness of the King of Wu was separated during the sneak attack and fled into the mountains and forests under the protection of two personal soldiers. There is no news yet!"
"What?" Yang Fan said in a lost voice, very surprised.
These princes are all here to make military achievements, so how could they go to the battlefield in person?
But Yang Fan didn't know that Li Ke was a proud and skilled person. Now he personally supervised the vanguard camp, how could he endure loneliness?
But his willfulness this time stumped Yang Fan!
In Yang Fan's opinion, if Li Ke was captured alive by Tubo, then things would be a big deal.
Once Tubo threatens Li Ke, Li Shimin will be afraid, and it is really possible to change the situation of victory or defeat.
Gu Wei
However, Tubo has not used Li Ke as a bargaining chip yet, and it is obvious that Li Ke has not been caught yet, so he has to find him quickly.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan could no longer sit still and asked, "How many people know about His Highness the King of Wu?"
"This time, His Highness the King of Wu attacked the camp with the army, only the general and Governor Han Wei knew that there was still a substitute of His Highness the King of Wu in Songzhou City. Others have not discovered it for the time being. Governor Han has secretly sent spies to search for it. It has been two days, but there is no news."
Speaking of the situation of King Li Ke of Wu, Niu Jinda's expression darkened. If something really happened to Li Ke, even if he went to the battle to win, Niu Jinda would not be able to escape.
Hearing Niu Jinda say this, Yang Fan feels a little relieved. Of course, the fewer people know about this, the better.
If there are really traitors in the army, Li Ke will not be able to hide it for long. Once Tubo knows, he will definitely send a large army to search the mountains. At that time...
Yang Fan dared not think about it.
He stood up with a loud voice and said, "General, he is well recuperated. I will definitely find His Highness the King of Wu as soon as possible!"
"I'm working hard!" Niu Jinda held his body and said gratefully.
Time waited for no one, Yang Fan stopped staying and hurried towards the station in the south of the city.
*******
Outside Xingyue Canyon, Hou Junji was sitting upright in the commander's tent to handle military affairs, and from time to time exchanged opinions on the disposal with Prince Li Chengqian beside him.
On another case, Changsun Chong would summarize the two's handling opinions.
At this moment, a marching clerk came to report outside the tent.
Hou Junji called him in and asked, "What's the matter?"
The marching clerk said respectfully: "Report to the commander, according to the report of the scouts in the army, Lu Dongzan, the great Tubo thesis, led a 120,000 army to attack the central army."
"According to the vanguard general Yang Fan, the main force of the left camp has entered Gansongling and is in a confrontation with the 80,000 troops led by Songtsen Gampo. However, in order to enter the mountains to search for the lost soldiers of the vanguard battalion, he specially pulled out some of the troops, resulting in insufficient troops, and asked the general to send troops to support him."
"Songzhou Governor Han Wei and General Niu Jinda jointly reported that the troops were besieged this time was caused by the leak of the combat plan. It is suspected that there were spies in the army and asked the general to investigate thoroughly."
As the clerk of statistical intelligence, he talked about three emergency military information in one go.
Originally, Changsun Chong looked focused on copying, but when he heard the word spy, he suddenly breathed, but he did not look up, but he just paid more attention to Hou Junji's reaction.
Hou Junji frowned, stood up, walked to a hanging map, and watched it carefully.
The distance from Xingyue Canyon to Gansong Ridge is about 150 kilometers, and it can be reached in two days of marching.
However, the 120,000 army led by Lu Dongzan was in trouble. It was obvious that he wanted to hold himself back from letting the main force go to support Gansongling.
As a military important place, Hou Junji of course knew the importance there.
Once Gansong Ridge is lost, Yizhou will lose its natural barrier, and the Tubo cavalry can move forward and move forward in a smooth and stable manner.
"Why don't you ask me as the commander and divide the troops privately? Can't you see the importance of Gansongling?" Hou Junji was puzzled and angry at the same time.
Yang Fan simply doesn't take him as the coach seriously.
Didn’t it mean that all actions are followed?
This bastard will make a mess.
In addition, two generals Niu Jinda deliberately wrote secret reports and requested a thorough investigation of the spies, obviously thinking that the combat plan was leaked from the Central Army.
There are spies in the central army, who is it?
