Obviously, the fireworks in the outpost alarmed all the scouts of the East Army in this area. Along the way, whistles were heard one after another. At that post, there were supplies reserved by the scouts, and there were usually two or three people guarding them. In this area where the scouts had already controlled the situation, there should be no accident.

When approaching the outpost, Zhang Xi had already smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and his heart couldn't help but sink suddenly. He accelerated his pace and rushed over. Before the outpost, several scouts who had arrived first had stood there. In front of them, a scout from the East Army was lying on their backs, holding a long bow tightly in one hand, and a short dagger was inserted in front of his chest. What made all scouts angry was that this short dagger was the dead scout's own.

Zhang Xi stepped into the outpost with a heavy walk, where the bodies of two soldiers were still lying there. Zhang Xi squatted down and carefully inspected the bodies of his dead companions. One of his head was almost broken and he could not express his face at all. A bloody shoulder pole was thrown beside him, and on the other side, another soldier lying on the ground had a thin mark on the neck. Seeing this wound, Zhang Xi's heart was shocked. This was not an ordinary weapon, but a very thin rope was broken. This rope was not something that ordinary people could have. Zhang Xi had a brother in the Operation Team of the Supervision Bureau. In him, he had seen such similar weapons. Don't underestimate a thin rope, but can bear hundreds of pounds.

This is not the enemy's scout. During this period, there were hundreds of enemy scouts who were shot dead, and never found such a weapon on the other side.

Zhang Xi stood up, picked up the shoulder pole, walked out of the door, and threw it on the ground with a bang.

After a while, other scouts searched for some tattered clothes, sweat towels, straw sandals and other things from around, and these things were piled up together. The other party's identity was about to emerge.

"It's not the other party's scout. Judging from these outfits, they should be a coolie who carries the labourers." Zhang Xi said.

"That is, this is a spy."

"He changed into our clothes and absconded with our weapons and food."

"He has only one goal, that is, Gushanguan."

"What are you hesitating about? Chase and kill him."

A group of scouts quickly pieced together the truth of the matter.

Zhang Xi looked at the bodies of three comrades on the ground and took a step forward, "Although it was a sudden sneak attack, it could kill our three companions. This person's martial arts are not ordinary, so in the process of chasing, we must keep at least two people in the group and must not be alone, because after being alone, we will not have one person to be his opponent. Judging from this person's method of killing, I am afraid that one person will be a master among Yan Lingwei, and we need one person to go back to report the message immediately. Since this person is a spy of Yan Lingwei lurking in Liaoxi County, returning at this moment must have taken away the crucial information. We need the superiors to know the situation. Who will go back?"

No one responded, and Zhang Xi looked around and said, "He Tianju, you were injured two days ago and have not been done well yet. Go back."

"Yes, captain!" He Tianju was a little unwilling to give in, but they were not willing to bargain here.

"Don't pout, I caught an opponent's scout. Now I don't have time to pay attention to him. When you go back, do it and ask for some interest from the brothers lying here to come back." Zhang Xi pointed out the location where he had arrested the person before, then turned around and looked at the other people, "Let's go, that guy shouldn't have gone far."

When Zhang Xi and his scouts were looking for the murderer like a madman, in Liaoxi County, Ye Chong was summoning two of his generals, Zheng Xiaoyang and Tie Xuan.

Both generals were not very interested because this time, Liaoxi County was just a partial teacher, but the main attack direction was not with them.

"Commander Ye, I was wondering, if our partial masters actually beat Hu Yanchao to pee his pants, would the governor think that we had violated his combat strategy?" Zheng Xiaoyang asked curiously.

"Is Hu Yanchao so easy to fight?" Ye Chong looked at him with a smile, "This man was in the Liaoning Guard, with more than 10,000 standing troops and thousands of civilians, and stood firmly with tens of thousands of troops from Donghu, and finally retreated safely. This man's ability can be seen from this. Tan Feng and Zhou Yu kept him to guard Langya, because he was attracted by his skills in defense. After he arrived in Langya, he also stood on defense. Not only was the Langya County City reinforcing and elevating, but on the road ahead, all county towns have changed now. This man has indeed had some experience in defending the city!"

"The Eastern Army is invincible, and there is no castle that cannot be defeated." Tiexun said lightly: "No matter whether he is solid or not, he will smash him to pieces."

"Don't be too concerned. Not to mention anything else, the Gushan Pass on Xiaoyang's current road is a tough and hard bone. Gushan Pass guards our important road out of western Liaoning. Although the pass is not big, the terrain is dangerous. The 3,000 troops stationed in it are all the elite troops withdrawn from Donghu. Wu Bo, the general guarding the pass, is also a powerful general under Hu Yanchao. And Gushan Pass, we must take this opportunity to take it down. Only by taking down Gushan Pass can we open the gate of Langya in the future. In the future, we will attack whenever we want, and retreat when we want to. In the attack, the convenience is to spread the plain and retreat. Behind us is the Gushan Mountains, which is a life gate of Langya."

"Don't worry, commander, I will definitely take it down."

"I have carefully studied the battle between Hu Yanchao in Liaoning Guards. This man guarded the city and never defended the city, but led the attack. He often turned on and off. Since Wu Bo was Hu Yanchao's favorite general, he must be proficient in this move. When attacking Gushan Pass, he must pay attention to this point."

"I will write it down at the end."

"Tiexuan, you lead your team to Xigu and detour for hundreds of miles. The goal is to take Xintian County in Langya County. You must grasp this time well. After taking Xintian County, you will stay where you will. As for how to make the enemy not doubt your purpose, it depends on you. I will give you all the cavalry in the entire army. You should know the meaning of this."

"I understand!" Tie Xuan nodded heavily, "Take Xintian and pretend to go to Langya. Wait for the opportunity, turn the way south. Cooperate with the governor and run to Tianhe."

"We are a partial army, but if there is a problem with the partial army, it will directly affect the front battlefield. This time the governor wants to face Jicheng. What he wants is the speed of the troops, and the fight is unexpected. So this time the army led by the governor only has 20,000 troops from the Young Guards. If we don't fight well, Hu Yanchao will free up his hands, and it is very likely that he will threaten the governor's flank. Therefore, after you take down Gushan Pass, you must stick Hu Yanchao firmly in Langya County and be unable to move."

"clear!"

"Kong De attacked Anlu, and we attacked Langya, each of us will fight each other. It depends on who can last longer, but I am afraid everyone will not expect that the real battlefield this time is in Tianhe." Ye Chong said murderously: "When the governor's troops came to Jicheng, the whole game of chess will be alive. Langya and Yuyang will all be shocked. At that time, we can decide the next action based on the opponent's reaction."

"Is the governor going to take Jicheng this time?" Zheng Xiaoyang said excitedly.

"That's so easy." Ye smiled, "When the soldiers are coming to Jicheng, Jiling must be in a panic. Defending Jicheng is something he has to do. But he can only transfer two soldiers, either Hu Yanchao from Langya or Kong De from Yuyang, and we. We got one of the territory according to their choice. According to the opinions of the political parties, if everything goes well, the other party may give up Yuyang."

"Why isn't Langya?"

"Returning to Yuyang is the border of Yanzhao. After we take Yuyang, we must be distracted from being wary of Zhao State. Zhou Changshou is not a good guy to deal with! This person is cautious and if there is any benefit, he will pull away and slip away if there is any movement. This person is one of the two generals of Hum and Ha under Zhao Mu. Zhou Changshou is stolen and Wu Zeng is brave. Both are difficult characters. In comparison, Ji Ling is naturally willing to give up Yuyang and let us compete with Zhao State."

"Hmph, Dai County has also fought with them anyway, and Yuyang is not bad. It's a pity that I can't take Jicheng in one go this time!"

"If you really want to think about this, you may be a bad battle. Before destroying Donghu, we will not be able to destroy Yan State. Let's wait, in short, there will be such a day." Ye Chong said.

"By the commander, my scouts are chasing the Yan Lingwei spy like crazy. What did the Supervisory Office find out?"

"This person should be from Yan Lingwei. Judging from the current investigation, this person dressed up as a coolie and had been in the Liaoxi County city for two years. The group of coolies he belonged to participated in the transfer of our military supplies throughout this time. This person should be a veteran. From these military supplies, we judged the number of our troops and the direction of attack. Therefore, we thought of escaping and reporting that we could kill the three scouts. This person has a good kung fu, but until now, the true identity of this person has not been found."

"This incompetent guy from the Supervision Bureau actually made a spy from Yan Lingwei stay in Liaoxi County for nearly two years. This person's identity must be quite good. This military leak will definitely cause trouble for our attack." Zheng Xiaoyang was a little annoyed, "Those scouts may not be able to stop him."

"There must be trouble, but it doesn't have much impact. Hu Yanchao knew that we were going to fight and made corresponding preparations. If this guy really wanted to go back, it might even make Hu Yanchao make some wrong judgments."

Zheng Xiaoyang suddenly realized, "Yes, the real purpose of this attack is that in Liaoxi County, there are only three of us. In addition, the county magistrate Zheng knew that the soldiers below thought we were going to attack Langya on a large scale. Two years ago, I heard the soldiers saying that the governor had transferred the Helanxiong cavalry troops in Panshan!"

Ye Chong laughed, "Maybe we have gathered the cavalry of the entire army together to drive them out, which has given them some illusions. There are mistakes and tricks. OK, there are no need to prohibit them, so they just spread it like this. Even our own people believe it, and we are not afraid that Hu Yanchao will not believe it." (To be continued)
