Sure enough, the Yuzhou Army gradually retreated, and by the fifth day, their camp was empty, and Gou Xi launched three attacks on them in two days. Although they were all small-scale and without major results,
It still made the soldiers on the other side angry.
Especially the King of Donghai, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He beat drums five times on the other side last night. Just when they thought it was another sneak attack, they found that people were just beating drums and gongs in the center of the river.
Even though they suspected that they were deliberately making trouble, they were still afraid that the other party would attack again when they heard the drum sound, so they could only get up and prepare to fight. They went back and forth five times, and the King of Donghai and his tent almost didn't sleep all night.
Before that, they had been sleepless all night.
After two days of not sleeping well, no one would be in a good temper. Even if some people in the Donghai King's tent thought that Gou Xi was planning to use suspicion, they would not dare to persuade the furious Donghai King to be patient.
The sleep-deprived King of the East China Sea could not see any trace of the Yuzhou Army from a distance. Two of the scouts he quietly sent out ran back. They said: "We chased them for about forty miles in the direction in which they retreated. They have indeed gone deeper.
There is no way to pursue us, the Yanzhou Army is searching us and others, and ordinary people on the other side will be arrested even if they approach the river."
"With such harshness, can you find out why the Yuzhou army retreated?"
"No, I can't find any information at all."
This sentence itself contains a lot of information. What is it that the scouts couldn't find out even if they went to investigate?
The King of Donghai became more and more suspicious that Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi had a falling out. Although he didn't know the reason for the falling out, it was obvious that when they met in front of him that day, they didn't seem to reach an agreement and instead fell out.
When King Donghai thought of this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and wondered, "Could it be that Governor Zhang took control of the Yuzhou Army and suppressed Zhao Hanzhang?"
This was a casual move on his part. He didn't expect Governor Zhang to be able to suppress Zhao Hanzhang. After all, Zhao Hanzhang's achievements in the past two months were too dazzling. His general Ma Jiaen died in the hands of Zhao Hanzhang inexplicably, and 20,000 soldiers and horses were killed.
It's all hers, but how many people does Prefect Zhang have?
It's strange that he can fight Zhao Hanzhang.
But now it seems that Prefect Zhang may still be of some use, at least the Yuzhou army has really retreated.
King Donghai asked: "Who sent the letter to Governor Zhang? Let him come to see me."
He needs to ask carefully about the situation at that time, maybe there are some clues?
The scout who went to deliver the letter came in cautiously, knelt on one knee and replied, "... we made an appointment to meet by the river. After confirming that the person who came was a follower of Prefect Zhang, the younger one handed him the reply letter. At that time,
Turn around and get on the boat and come back."
He paused and then said: "However, the Yuzhou military camp not far away was very lively at that time. It was said that a celebration banquet was being held. Everyone went to drink. The younger ones did not dare to stay for a long time, so they boarded the boat and left."
"Then how will Prefect Wushuang plan to act?"
"Didn't say."
They are the ones who deliver letters. Whether they are sending letters or receiving letters, they all know the same truth. The more they know, the faster they will die. So they wish they could not say a word, confirm the identities of both parties, hand over the letters and leave.
.
The King of Donghai received little information, so he couldn't help but put the situation on his side, and became more and more convinced that Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi had fallen out.
However, he was not a reckless person, so he said: "Choose two thousand people to come out and prepare to cross the river. Let's try and see what Gou Xi means."
Gou Xi is much more stable than the King of East China Sea. He is a famous general and knows the King of the East China Sea, so he understands his mentality very well.
He organized a counterattack in an orderly manner, which was neither outstanding nor failed. He only had a small victory over his opponent.
But this also gave King Donghai confidence. He even felt Gou Xi's eagerness. He seemed to want a quick resolution. Maybe something happened in Yuzhou or Yanzhou.
In just one night, King Donghai thought a lot, and all kinds of doubts emerged.
Gou Xi's trick of using suspicion was so good that Zhao Hanzhang decided to learn from him, so when the army started to break camp, she was making some arrangements.
Whoever's turn it was to break camp and leave, she would see the general.
Their group was the last group. Halfway through, Zhao Hanzhang waved to Zhao Kuan and Sun Linghui and told them: "You don't need to go to Xuchang. When we get to the front, we will lead the troops south and return to Runan."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Take 20,000 soldiers and horses back."
Zhao Kuan opened his mouth wide and asked, "Aren't we going to participate in the battle?"
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him and said: "Our Yuzhou Army, including the logistics, has 160,000 people here, Gou Xi also has nearly 200,000, and the King of the East China Sea claims to have 300,000. Even if there is water, I estimate there are 200,000."
Tens of thousands of people, how can so many people attack one place at once?"
She said: "This is all within my Yuzhou territory. Do I still need it in Yuzhou?"
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "Go quickly and quietly. Have people sweep away traces along the road. Leave scouts behind and behind. Be careful of the Yanzhou scouts. Don't let them detect your whereabouts."
Sun Linghui: "I am willing to stay with you, the envoy."
Zhao Hanzhang refused, "Zhao Kuan is careful enough, but not decisive enough. You go with him, and all you take away are the Zhao family's army. Set them up after you go back. I have enough people here."
Although Sun Linghui felt regretful that he could not stay, he became excited again when he thought that he had been entrusted with an important task. He happily promised: "Don't worry, we will bring them all back to Runan safely and settle them down."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction.
Sun Linghui left quietly, lagging behind in their team, and turned around quietly, so that she didn't even have a chance to tell Fan Ying to take care of herself, so she could only write a letter and ask the person behind to deliver it.
By the time Fan Ying found out that Sun Linghui had left, it was already after he had settled down.
There were many tents set up, but when she went to find Sun Linghui, she found that most of the tents along the way were empty. There were ten people living in one tent, then two empty tents, and then there was another tent housing ten people.
Fan Ying was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't have time to go to Sun Linghui, and naturally she didn't get the letter Sun Linghui left for her. She turned around and hurried back to the main tent, found Zhao Hanzhang and reported: "Girl, the tent is more than half empty."
, our soldiers and horses were hidden by someone."
It is suspected that someone is hiding his troops to deal with Zhao Hanzhang secretly.
It was her turn to be on duty that night at the celebration party, but she didn't go, so she missed the opportunity to stand next to Zhao Hanzhang. Afterwards, she learned from countless people's oral accounts how ruthless and handsome the girl was that day, and she felt extremely regretful and vigilant.
.
It seems that there are still many people in Yuzhou who are not convinced by the girl, so she must be more careful.
When Zhao Hanzhang heard Fan Ying's report, he smiled slightly, nodded and said with a smile: "You did a good job and discovered them quickly, but I transferred them, so there is no need to panic."
As for the 160,000 people, the daily consumption of food and grass is a huge problem. She is not as rich as the King of Donghai and Gou Xi, and she will not involve so many soldiers in the civil war, so she transferred most of them and let them each take the lead.
The soldiers returned.
Now there are less than 50,000 people left. This is to prevent the war from expanding, otherwise she can only leave 20,000 people to participate in the war.
Who doesn't know how to use the suspicious tactics?
