In the commander's tent of the Dingjiacun camp, Yang Qing put away the military book given by Zhuge Liang and prepared to lie down to sleep. He had been reading it for an hour and was getting sleepy.

As soon as I took off my outer robe, I heard rapid footsteps coming from outside the tent, and it sounded like the footsteps of two people.

He knew that someone was looking for him,

Sure enough, just after he took the robe off the shelf, he heard Yang Xi reporting from outside the tent: "Master Fu, Shu Qi is back."

Yang Qing put on his outer robe and said hurriedly: "Oh, come in quickly." The curtain was lifted, and Yang Xi and Wu Que walked in one after the other.

"how,

How's the situation?" After the three people finished the ceremony,

Sit down each one,

Yang Qing asked hurriedly.

Wu Que cupped his hands and said, "Returning to the mansion, the news came back from Qiongdu that E Huan is not in the city of Qiongdu. The person who is taking care of the illness in the mansion is a servant pretending to be sick."

After hearing this, Yang Qing's expression changed. He tapped the desk with his right index finger and middle finger and stood up. Seeing him deep in thought, Yang Xi and Wu Que did not dare to disturb him, so they had to sit there quietly.

After a long while, Yang Qing said: "If that's the case, why would Gao Ding come here without bringing E Huan, the number one general under his command? Now it becomes clear that he has an ulterior motive."

"Thanks to Fu Jun's extraordinary wisdom, he discovered the clues, so he asked Shu Qi and the others to investigate closely, and today they finally discovered the Yi people's trick." Yang joked.

Yang Qing waved his hand when he heard this and said with a smile: "I also had a sudden idea. Coupled with Gu Lichi's words that day, I felt that something was wrong."

It turned out that after the invasion from Gaoding, Yang Qing discovered that his top general E Huan did not join the war with the army.

Later it was discovered that E Huan was entrusted by Gao Ding with the important task of staying in Qiondu.

This made Yang Qing feel a little strange. E Huan was the number one general of the rebels. He was extremely brave. He was so determined to attack An Shang. How could he not take this man with him?

What's more, E Huan was defeated by him last time, doesn't he want to take revenge?

According to detailed reports, this man was conceited about his military prowess and had always been arrogant. Moreover, since he was defeated and returned to Qiongdu, E Huan had always had a desire for revenge. Not only did he go around claiming that the last defeat was all due to Li Qiuchengzhi's overdoing, he himself

But he was completely dissatisfied and tried his best to persuade Gaoding to raise troops and attack Anshan again.

This matter is not a secret in Qiongdu City, and you can find out with a little inquiry.

This time Gaoding did indeed raise his troops to invade again, so is E Huan, who desperately wants revenge, really willing to stay behind?

Yang Qing didn't understand, but he didn't understand. Gao Ding personally led the troops, and the general stayed at his base. This was the normal military deployment of the rebels, and Yang Qing did not feel suspicious.

Until a few days ago, Gulichi led reinforcements and arrived in Anshang.

When the two chatted about the impact of the changes in the Guli tribe on the surrounding tribes,

Only then did Yang Qing discover a clue and become suspicious.

That day in the Qiang camp outside the city, Yang Qing and Gu Lichi first talked about the Qingqiang tribes, and then talked about the neighboring Yanniu Yi tribe.

Speaking of the Yanniu Yi, Yang Qing thought of the Yanniu Road. This road connecting Qiongdu and Chengdu has been cut off for nearly a hundred years. Yang Qing had long planned to reopen the Yanniu Road, but now that the rebellion has not been suppressed, this matter has not yet been resolved.

It has to be postponed, but it would be great to know something about the situation in advance.

Just when the two were talking about Yanniu Road, Gu Lichi casually mentioned a situation, which made Yang Qing feel a little strange.

The Guli tribe is located at the junction of Hanjia County and Yuexun County, so it has established connections with the tribes in the two neighboring counties.

Since the last time they made a fortune following the army's defeat of Li Qiucheng, the surrounding tribes suddenly became more excited and sent envoys to Guli tribe to inquire about news or exchange supplies.

Therefore, the valley jungle on the border between Anshang and Hanjia County suddenly became a little lively.

The Yanniu Road is said to be cut off, but that refers to the five-foot official road built by the imperial court. There are still several trails from Yuexun to Hanjia. Although the road is steep, for the Yi people from all tribes living in the mountains and forests, it is easy to climb over the mountains.

The mountains are like walking on flat ground, which is why Gaoding was able to send people north to Hanjia to occupy Yanniu County.

The day before Gulichi led his troops to Anshang City, a clan envoy he sent to Hanjia County returned and told a strange thing.

It turned out that on the way back, the envoy discovered traces of the old people. There were dozens of old people stationed in a valley, with no known intention.

It is actually not a strange thing for the old man to appear on the mountain road to Hanjia County. After all, Gaoding also has a stronghold called Jianiu Base in Hanjia County, so the mobilization of troops and horses is normal.

However, when the envoy arrived for reconnaissance, he found that the leader seemed to be the warrior E Huan, who was famous among the tribes in the south. Although the envoy was slightly surprised, he did not want to cause more trouble and hurried back to his tribe in a detour.

When Gulichi learned about this, he felt that something was unusual. E Huan must have an important task in leading the army, so he asked the envoy carefully.

It was just that the sky was dark at that time, and he had only seen E Huan from a distance when he went to the Sou tribe for some reason, and only had a quick glance in the valley, so he was not sure.

After Gulichi led his troops and rushed to Anshang, he learned the specific military situation and knew that E Huan stayed behind in Qiongdu and did not fight in this war. Therefore, he just thought that the messenger, Lieutenant General Hei Ye, had a similar figure and appearance and had mistakenly identified E Huan.

, so he did not regard this matter as a military intelligence report.

But this matter finally came to his mind, so when he and Yang Qing were chatting about the Yangniu Road, Gu Lichi told him about it.

After hearing this, Yang Qing immediately became suspicious. After returning home, he immediately ordered Wu Que to find out E Huan's whereabouts. However, he did not expect that this person was really not in Qiongdu. In this case, the person seen by the Guli tribe's envoy a few days ago must be E Huan himself.

Already.

"Master Fu, if Gao Ding acts like this, there must be some treacherous plot. We must not ignore it." Yang Xi said with a worried look on his face after hearing the reason.

Yang Qing nodded, stood up, came to the map, pointed to the upper left corner of the Yanniu County and said: "Gaoding has good relations with the Yanniu Yi and has built a fortress in the Yanniu County. E Huan appeared on the road leading to Hanjia County.

In the mountain road, does he want to lead his troops to Hanjia County to unite with the Yanniu Yi to cause trouble?"

"It's possible." Yang Xi and the two men also gathered around the map. He agreed, and then said: "It's just Fujun. Now the war is about to start in Anshang. The Yi soldiers coming from Hanjia County may not be able to be saved by the distant water."

It’s close to the fire.”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then what do you want E Huan to do?"

Yang Xi thought for a while and said, "Could E Huan join forces with the Yanniu Yi to attack Hanjia County?"

Wu Que on the side said: "Master, I think this possibility is very small. The troops in Hanjia County are enough to defend themselves, and the Yi people's actions will not be able to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. And if Gao Ding just wants to simply attack Hanjia County, the two fronts

I’m afraid the rebels at this time will not be able to sustain the battle.”

Yang Xi nodded and said: "What Shu Qi said makes sense, but what is E Huan's intention when he left Qiongdu to lead his troops and appeared in the Yanniu Road area?"

"Que can't understand this."

The three people analyzed one after another, but none of them came up with a logical and convincing conjecture. For a while, there was silence in the tent.

Yang Xi walked to the door of the camp, opened the curtain and looked outside. Wu Que returned to his seat and lowered his head in thought. Only Yang Qing was still standing in front of the map, staring at Anshang, Qiongdu and Yanniu with an expressionless face.

Currently, these three place names circled in red are the three most important places in this war, and no one should pay close attention to them.

Yang Qing glanced back and forth at these three locations, thinking that what Yang Xi and Wu Que just said made sense. E Huan must not have gone to the Yanniu Camp to join the rebels there to cause trouble.

But if he didn't go there, where would he go? His eyes moved away from the Yanniu Camp and turned to Anshang City.

Could it be that the purpose of E Huan's trip was to settle in the county seat?

With this thought, Yang Qing was surprised.

Now the main army is concentrated in Dingjiacun. There are only a few hundred county soldiers in Anshang City leading the people to defend the city. Although the city defense is strong, the fortifications are mainly concentrated in the south. Once the barbarian soldiers attack from the rear, Anshang City will be in danger.

.

And even if Zhang Yi and the others can resist E Huan, will Gaoding in front of them divide their forces to attack E Huan in a flanking attack?

As a result, An is in danger!

Even though Yang Qing was very ambitious, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought about this situation.

"Wen Ran, Shu Qi, come here." Yang Qing called.

After he told the two of them his thoughts, they both felt that what he said made sense, and it seemed like a treacherous plan that was reasonable and feasible.

However, this is just the speculation of the three people. It has not been confirmed and it is difficult to make any arrangements.

Therefore, Yang Qing immediately ordered Wu Que to quickly go to the upper border area of ​​Hanjia'an to find out E Huan's whereabouts.

"Shu Qi, the mountains are high, the valleys are deep, and there are many trails. Therefore, your first exploration direction is the road that turns from the old Yanniu road to Anshan."
