Chapter 515 Withdrawal of troops (one more)
After Zhang Yun led his troops to reconcile, under Zhou Gu's signal, he deliberately let a spy from the Great Wei go back.
He Lanjue's expression changed when he heard that the spies reported that Daliang had more than 600,000 troops, and immediately asked, "Is it true?"
"It's true." The spy replied.
"Why did you come back by yourself? What about the rest?" He Lanjue asked.
The spy bowed his head, "If you die, if you get caught, your subordinates can't escape. It seems that the Daliang people deliberately put down their subordinates and came back to report."
A person who can be a spy is naturally not without brains, and he also knows how much he weighs. Under the circumstances of being besieged like that, it stands to reason that he would not be able to come back, but he came back.
He Lanjue's expression turned ugly, and he immediately went to look for Prince Yuanzhao.
After hearing this, Yuanzhao was silent for a moment with a sullen face, and asked, "Let that spy come to see the king."
He Lan decided to order someone to call him in front of Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao asked him: "What is the situation in Daliang now? Where did the more than 600,000 soldiers come from? Where is Zhang Ping? Is he lying to the king? It is actually a trap?"
The secret agent shook his head, "Returning to His Royal Highness, the subordinates found out that Zhang Ping had died suddenly. Zhang Ping's soldiers and horses were all taken over by his third son Zhang Yun, and Zhang Yun took refuge in Daliang Chaotang. It is said that Zhang Ping died of a heart attack, but his subordinates guessed that he should have been killed by Zhang Yun."
"Zhang Ping is dead?" Yuan Zhao frowned.
Spy should be.
"Zhang Ping, why was he killed? Such a waste?" He Lanjue was also shocked, the news was really unexpected.
"Since it was Zhang Yun who killed him, Zhang Yun is his son, so it is impossible to guard against it. After all, Zhang Ping probably never thought that his own son would kill Lao Tzu until his death, so he must have had no precautions." Yuan Zhao was furious in his heart, thinking that all the preparations were ruined because of Zhang Ping's death.
He really didn't expect that Zhang Ping was a joke. He died suddenly when he was just raising his troops, and he never fought with Daliang.
"Who is the leader of Daliang?" Yuan Zhao asked with suppressed anger.
"The fourth son of Duke Huguo, Zhou Gu."
"It's actually Zhou Gu who is a good Zhou Gu." Yuan Zhao asked again: "Zhang Yun killed Zhang Ping and took over the Northern Hebei Army. No one in the Zhang family resisted him?"
The spy shook his head, "The subordinates failed to find out more information, but Zhang Yun did indeed take over the Northern Hebei Army and has surrendered to the imperial court."
"More than 600,000 soldiers and horses." Yuan Zhao took a deep breath and immediately ordered, "Withdraw the troops and return to the capital."
He Lanjue stopped immediately, "His Royal Highness, we can't withdraw our troops. Daliang has more than 600,000 soldiers. Once we withdraw our troops, what if Daliang invades?"
"Da Liang won't come in. Just after clearing up Zhang Ping's troubles, Daliang can be said to be completely unprepared. As long as Zhou Gu is not a child, he knows that Daliang can't fight unprepared." Yuan Zhao said: "Withdraw troops, listen to this king, and return to the capital to plan again and plan for the future."
It's a pity that Zhang Ping's move is really stupid.
After Yuan gave the order, Wei withdrew his soldiers and horses from the border town on the same day and returned to the capital.
Before he left, he ordered his hidden guards, "Dug out and shovel all the spies in the border town of Daliang."
The secret guard got his order, and when the spies buried in the border town of Dawei along Daliang sent back the news, they were eradicated and hunted down by a large number of secret guards of Wei.
Zhou Gu pursed his lips, "What a photo, how to advance and retreat, and how to do it."
Zhang Yun said from the side: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When the Seventh Miss sits on the throne of Nanchu and Daliang and Nanchu join forces to attack Wei, Yuan Zhao should regret withdrawing today. He should fight."
"He can fight?" Consultant Zhou.
"Great Wei actually raised a million soldiers and horses, but Crown Prince Yuan is only planning to mobilize 500,000 soldiers and horses this time. He must have believed my father too much, thinking that my father can make Daliang messy, and his 500,000 soldiers and horses are enough to take advantage of the opportunity. Second, he should have other plans. Maybe he plans to plan with Southern Chu. The 500,000 soldiers and horses, if my guess is right, should be Chen Bing at the border of Southern Chu. He just looks at Southern Chu and is not allowed to help Liang."
"You're right." Although Zhou Gu already knew Zhang Yun's excellence, he hadn't really experienced it face to face, and what he thought now really coincided with him.
His depression of being picked on by a hidden stake dissipated a bit, and he hooked his shoulders, "Since Dawei has retreated, it's time for me to go to Nanchu, brother, will you come with me?"
Zhang Yun looked at him, "Aren't you waiting for Miss Seven?"
"I won't wait." Although Zhou Gu missed Su Rong very much, he knew that it was important to help her find the way to Nanchu in advance. He still had a lot of things to do when he arrived in Nanchu, it was better than wasting time here waiting for her.
"Tell me about your plan first, and then I will decide whether to go with you or not. After all, I belong to Miss Seven." Zhang Yun said.
Zhou Gu snorted and corrected him, "You are her pure minister."
Zhang Yun laughed, "It's the same."
Zhou Gu snorted, "You are good at dealing with hidden stakes, and I lack a lot in this area. Therefore, you and I can shovel the hidden stakes of the Nangong family and Dawei in Nanchu along the way. Although it is more dangerous, it will be done once and for all."
You must know that whether it is the Nangong family or the great Wei An who planted a hidden stake to establish a news network, it is not a day or two, and it may take ten years or even decades. Once selected, it is equivalent to breaking the news network. It is not so easy to establish it again. The Nangong family lost an ear, and Da Wei was also deaf in Nanchu.
The reason why Daliang was able to hide the recent events from Da Wei was due to the fact that when Su Rong first eradicated the hidden stakes of the Zhang family in Nanping City, he also eradicated the hidden stakes of the Wei and Nangong families.
Therefore, although Prince Yuanzhao had already arrived at the border town of Wei Dynasty, he had no news and could only wait patiently, not daring to venture forward.
"Only the two of us?" Zhang Yun asked.
"The two of us are enough." Zhou Gu said, "You and I both have hidden guards, so there are a thousand people. How about it? Dare you?"
"Why not dare?" In fact, Zhang Yun has always cherished himself very much, and he would not take risks if he could not take risks in everything, but it is different after taking refuge in Su Rong. Zhou Gu dares, what is he not afraid of?
"Okay, leave in an hour, I'll leave a letter for Su Rong, and we'll leave after dinner." After Zhou Gu finished speaking, he turned to say goodbye to the three brothers of the Zhou family.
Zhang Yun nodded and went to say goodbye to Zhang Mao.
