Several figures stood in the Long Army Council Hall in Tongzhou City. The atmosphere in the hall was obviously a bit depressing. Several generals stared at each other, looking at me, I looked at you, and no one spoke.

The white-haired old man standing in the middle was the old housekeeper who came back from Quannan Pass. He brought a military letter to Di Xinrou.

Xun An asked in a deep voice, holding the secret letter in his hand:

"You said that General Tang asked you to send it?"

"Yes, the little one was rushing and rushed to Tongzhou overnight. He didn't dare to neglect it." The old butler bowed slightly, with a very respectful expression.

Xun An's eyes narrowed:

"Do you know what's in the letter?"

The old housekeeper shook his head repeatedly:

"I don't know."

Xun An glanced at the old butler, and said nothing more. Then he looked at the fifth heartrou who stood with his hands behind his back and facing the map.

There was a strange silence in the hall. The content of this letter was that Tang Liang discovered that the Liang army was secretly counterattacking and headed straight to the left wing of Quannan Pass. A city called Lingxian, which was regarded as a fulcrum of the first line of defense in Gyeonggi Province. It was quite important. Like Quannan Pass, it had just been recovered by the Long Army.

Tang Liang meant that the Right Wei Guard would also be in charge of Quannan Pass, hoping that Tongzhou would send troops to support Ling County quickly, otherwise Ling County would be lost.

This is the reason for the depressing atmosphere in the hall. What does this mean? It means that the Liang army counterattacked?

Why did everyone smell the smell of a war?

The old man secretly glanced at the figure with his back on his back in the main seat. The fifth heartrou, the current Minister of War, has not spoken a word since he entered this hall, which made his little heart pound.

The old butler just answered the questions that Xue Meng taught him. The old man was confident that he did not reveal any flaws, but after all, he was a lie, so who would not be afraid?

If his son had not been taken hostage by Xue Meng, he would have absolutely no choice but to take this risk.

After a while, the fifth Xinrou finally waved:

"Okay, I'll go down first and have a good rest."

"Sir, I'll take my leave."

The old man stepped back step by step and kept bent.

After the old man left, Wu Xinrou turned around and looked at the old back with interest. I wonder what the Minister of War was thinking.

Xun An asked softly:

"Sir, do you think we should deal with it? Do you need to send troops to Ling County immediately?"

The troops dispatched by the Long Army were basically stationed in Quannan Pass. If the Liang army really captured Ling County, Quannan Pass would be trapped in a situation where it was attacked from north to south. If you were not careful, the defense line of Jingji Province would collapse again.

“No need ~”

Wu Xinrou shook her head calmly and said casually:

"This letter is fake."

"What, fake?"

"How could it be fake?"

Several generals in the hall looked surprised. They didn't understand why the fifth Xinrou made such a judgment. Xun An was thinking about it. In fact, he also felt something was wrong with the letter.

Wu Xinrou chuckled and took the secret message from Xun An:

"Military information matters, when is it the turn of the general's housekeeper to convey the message? Tang Liang is still in arranging manner in his work, and this will not happen.

Besides, there was no military newspaper in Ling County, but Quannan Pass, dozens of miles away, received the news first.

Although the old housekeeper seems normal, if you think about it carefully, you will find that something is wrong in everything."

Everyone looked at each other, and it really made sense to hear the Fifth Xinrou say this~

Xun An bowed and said:

"Sir, then why did General Tang send such a letter?"

Wu Xinru's eyes were slightly cold and he murmured:

"There is a high probability that Quannan Pass will be gone, I'm afraid that Tang Liang will die at the hands of Liang Jun."

A word of shock, and the hall was even more uproar. Yu Wen Mao, the commander of the Right Guard, said in surprise:

"How is it possible? More than 20,000 troops of Right Guard are stationed at Quannan Pass, with strict defense. Even if more than 100,000 Liang troops come in full, our army should be able to block it for a few days. How could it be defeated quietly?

Is the adult speculation too…”

Wu Xinrou said with her hands behind her back:

"The butler was obviously pretending to be calm just now, and the questions he answered were too fluent and abnormal. It was like he had prepared his speech in advance and was answering step by step.

Let’s make a guess. Quannan Pass has been broken and Tang Liang died in battle. Liang army captured the old housekeeper and forced him to deliver this letter."

If Xue Meng could hear the Fifth Xinrou's judgment, he would be shocked. How could this guy be so smart?

Xun An asked again: "What is the purpose of Liang Jun writing this letter?"

“It’s very simple.”

Wu Xinrou's eyes fell on the map again and said lightly:

"I tricked my army into leaving the city and rushing to Ling County, and then set up an ambush halfway, intercepted and killed our reinforcements, and weakened the military strength of our Tongzhou City.

You see, Quannan Pass is close to Tongzhou, and the terrain along the way is not suitable for ambushing, and Lingxian is a good place for ambushing. Once our army is surrounded by Lingxian, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Everyone widened their eyes. Although the fifth Xinrou said something like a speculation, the fifth Xinrou has never missed it for so long, otherwise where would there be a victory in every battle?

All of a sudden everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

Xun An murmured in shock:

"If this is true, wouldn't that mean that the defense line on Quannan Pass has been lost again? The large-scale retreat of the Liang army is a scam!"

Now everyone's heart was covered with a cloud, and they could vaguely feel the smell of conspiracy.

The fifth heart softly said calmly:

"I have never believed that the Liang army was really retreating. More than 100,000 troops went south and fought for two years. How could it be that they could just withdraw?"

Yuwen Mao said anxiously:

"Sir, if Quannan Pass is lost and Tang Liang is killed in battle, what should we do now?

You can't watch Liang's army fight outside Tongzhou again, right?"

“Haha~”

The fifth heartrou smiled softly:

"The soldiers come and the generals stop them, and the water comes and the soil is covered.

Didn’t the Liang army want to trick us into going to Lingxian to support us? They will definitely set up ambushes on this road.

We didn't go to Ling County, but instead launched a large army to attack Quannan Pass, hoping to catch the Liang army off guard."

“It makes sense, it makes sense!”

“It’s reasonable and reasonable!”

Wu Xinrou shouted softly:

"Yuwen Mao, you take Zuotun Guard to set off and rush to Quannan Pass. Remember, don't fight with the Liang army, just fight back and take back Quannan Pass!

If the enemy is not capable, take the initiative to retreat and collect the defeated troops of the Right Guard as much as possible."

"No, I will obey the order!"

Yuwen Mao strode away from the conference hall with murderous intent.

Xun An asked carefully: "Sir, what should we do if the butler who delivered the letter? Should we kill him?"

“No need ~”

The fifth heart soft mouth raised:

"Just put it back, so we still need the elderly to send us a message~

The letter said that the army set out immediately to help Ling County~”

"promise!"
