Fu An led a group of elite Yulin guards in hot pursuit of the fake Long Yuan. However, the fake Long Yuan was extremely fast and specialized in burrowing into the tent, which not only blocked the sight of Fu An and others, but also greatly hindered
Slowed them down.
Following the fake Long Yuan's escape trajectory, Fu An and others chased them to a camp and ran to the end of the camp. There was no breach made by the opponent. Fu An frowned and led everyone to quickly exit the camp and look around.
, the crowds were in chaos, and there were soldiers of our own running everywhere, shouting one by one: "Capture the assassin! Capture the assassin--" but the fake Long Yuan could not be seen at all.
Fu An pondered for a moment, then said to his left and right: "Search! Dig the ground three feet and dig out the assassin for me!"
"Yes! Sir!" The surrounding Yulin guards all stepped in to salute, and then people dispersed to search for the assassin pretending to be Long Yuan.
At this time, Liu Xiu had already brought Long Yuan and others back to the sleeping tent. Seeing the chaotic scene, he was also shocked. Fortunately, Yin Lihua was fine, which made Liu Xiu breathe a sigh of relief.
Xueying told Liu Xiu exactly what happened. While talking, her eyes drifted to Long Yuan from time to time, making Long Yuan feel uncomfortable.
Hearing that there was an assassin pretending to be himself, Long Yuan looked confused. Long Zhun couldn't help but ask: "The assassin is disguised like him?"
Xueying looked at Long Yuan from head to toe again, nodded heavily, and said: "It's very similar! It's almost... exactly the same! Even the clothes and sword are the same!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ying, Xu Fei, and Xu Ting also nodded, indicating that Xueying was right. If Yin Guiren hadn't been so clever, they would have been deceived by the fake Long Yuan.
In the fight in the dormitory just now, Xu Ting was kicked by the assassin and suffered some internal injuries. His face didn't look very good at this time.
In addition, Hong Jian was also injured from the fall. In order to save Yin Lihua, she hugged the assassin regardless of her own safety. Fortunately, the target was not her and he just threw her away, so the injury was not too serious.
As for the assassin who disguised himself as a soldier, he was restrained by Xu Ying and Xu Fei together, but unfortunately he was not able to survive. This man had a wax pill in his mouth. The moment he was captured, he directly bit the wax pill into pieces, and the contents inside were
The poison leaked out, killing him on the spot.
The way he died was the same as the death of the assassins Liu Xiu and others chased. These assassins had wax pills in their mouths beforehand. After taking off their clothes, they all had number tattoos on their bodies. This time
The number is four.
Fu An looked at the tattoo on the arm of the corpse and said with a gloomy face: "It turned out to be a dead soldier under Qi Zhong's command!"
Having said this, he looked up at Liu Xiu and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think that the person disguised as General Yuan is probably Qi Zhong!"
"Oh?" Liu Xiu's heart moved and she looked at Fu An intently.
Fu An said: "I just fought with him, and this person's martial arts skills are no longer under my control!"
There were four teachers in Si'a, Ruan Xiu, Tian Xi, Guan Ying, and Qi Zhong. Among them, Guan Ying died in Taihang Mountain, and only Ruan Xiu, Tian Xi, and Qi Zhong were left.
While they were talking, a Langguan came in from outside, holding a large ball of clothes in his hand.
After entering the Chinese military tent, he put his clothes aside, saluted Liu Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, this was just found in a military tent!"
Fu An stepped forward, opened the bunch of clothes, looked at it twice, and then turned to look at Long Yuan. Long Yuan also walked forward curiously and took a closer look. Well, the clothes picked up by the official
, they are exactly the same as the clothes on my body, no matter the color or style, there is no difference.
Long Yuan couldn't help but squat down and touch it carefully. Only the material was slightly different, but other than that, it was completely fake. He murmured: "These assassins really put a lot of effort into it!"
Fu An looked at the official and asked, "Besides, what else was found?"
The officer shook his head and whispered: "Reporting to your lord, I haven't found anything else..."
Fu An frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the assassin must be still in our camp. I will personally lead people to search for him."
Liu Xiu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Immediately send someone to send a message to Zhonghua and Bo Zhao, asking them to be more careful about the Si'a assassin in Yiyang!"
Fu An bowed, turned around and walked out of the central military tent.
Liu Xiu looked at the generals present and said, "Everyone, please go back and rest. Remember, you must be more defensive outside your sleeping tent!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
When all the generals also left the central military tent, Liu Xiu stood up, took a deep breath, and said to Long Yuan and others: "The assassin can disguise himself in such a way, which means that he knows me, and even you, very well.
Go and investigate! We must investigate strictly! Let’s start with the Yulin Guards and the Forbidden Army!”
The Yulin Guards and the Forbidden Army were both people around him. It would be too dangerous if there was a spy among the Yulin Guards and the Forbidden Army. Long Yuan, Xuying and others understood the seriousness of the situation, and they bowed and saluted together, saying in unison
: "Yes! Your Majesty!"
After the assassin made such a fuss, Liu Xiu also changed his sleeping tent. Now there were many soldiers around the sleeping tent. The innermost circle was the Yulin Guards, the outer circle was the Forbidden Army, and the outer circle was the Han Army soldiers.
.
When Liu Xiu returned to his sleeping tent, Yin Lihua immediately came forward and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, have all the assassins been captured?"
"One person escaped!"
"The assassin pretending to be Long Yuan?"
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Don't worry about Lihua. The whole camp is now under martial law. As long as he is still in our camp, he can't escape." As he spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth and held Yin Lihua's catkins.
, said softly: "Lihua is very alert this time, and she outshines Xuying and the others!"
Yin Lihua's face turned red and she said, "Maybe it's because I've spent more time with Long Yuan and the others!"
In the early morning of the next day, the Habayashi guards who were searching for the assassins found the bodies of a group of soldiers at the west camp.
There were ten soldiers in a group, all of whom had fatal wounds on their throats. There were no signs of fighting at the scene, and no shouts were heard from the soldiers in the surrounding camps, indicating that these ten soldiers were killed instantly by the opponent.
It is not difficult to kill ten ordinary soldiers. Ordinary generals can do it. But to kill them in an instant without giving them a chance to shout is not something ordinary people can do.
In addition, one of the soldiers had his clothes stripped off, indicating that the assassin was now disguised as an ordinary soldier, and had either escaped from the camp or was mixed with his own soldiers.
As a result, it would be even more difficult to track down the assassin. With an army of 100,000, trying to find an assassin who was proficient in disguise would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
At dawn the next day, Liu Xiu came to Fu An to learn about the situation of tracking down the assassin. After listening to Fu An's story, Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said casually: "I understand."
Then, Liu Xiu went to the Chinese military tent and summoned the generals. He would not change his established tactics just because of an assassin.
When all the generals gathered in the central military tent, Liu Xiu said categorically: "Today is the day when our Han army will fight to the death with Chimei!"
Liu Xiu's opening remarks lifted the spirits of all the generals. People all stared at Liu Xiu with their eyes wide open, their fists were slowly clenched involuntarily, and the blood in their bodies was rushing.
They have all been looking forward to this final decisive battle with the Red Eyebrow Army for a long time.
This battle, no matter who loses or wins in the end, will definitely be a battle that changes the world. Being lucky enough to participate in this decisive battle will be enough to show off for a lifetime.
Liu Xiu stood up, walked to the sand table, and then waved to the generals. The generals gathered around and surrounded the sand table with three levels inside and three levels outside.
Liu Xiu, who was standing in the middle, picked up six of his own chess pieces, placed them on the sand table, and said: "This time against the enemy, our army can use a wild goose formation. Ziyan!"
"Wei Chen is here!" Wu Han stepped in and saluted.
Liu Xiu pushed the six chess pieces on the sand table forward and said: "Ziyan, the commander of the front army, wants to suppress the enemy in the face-to-face confrontation with the enemy!"
Wu Han raised his eyes from the sand table, stepped in and said to Liu Xiu: "I obey my orders!"
Liu Xiu placed six more chess pieces on the right side of the front army and said: "The right wing of our army can be led by Zhong Hua, mainly cavalry and armored elites!"
As he spoke, he placed the other six chess pieces on the left side of the front army and said: "The left wing of our army can be led by Bo Zhao, and is still dominated by cavalry and armored elites!"
At that time, no matter which separatist force they were, they had more people and fewer armaments, and the Luoyang court headed by Liu Xiu was no exception. Therefore, the soldiers were usually divided into those who wore armor and those who did not.
The soldiers are basically veterans or strong men with rich experience and strong combat effectiveness.
Liu Xiu assigned cavalry and even armored soldiers to the two wings, which shows that Liu Xiu focused on the tactics of outflanking and flanking attack by two wings.
He led the front army led by Wu Han to resist the enemy's main central force, and then let the right wing headed by Deng Yu and the left wing headed by Geng Yan slam into the enemy's flanks. If the battle went well, Deng Yu
Together with the elite two wings commanded by Geng Yan, they are enough to cut the main force of the Red Eyebrow Army into two parts. Once such a battle situation is formed, the Red Eyebrow Army will be defeated.
Everyone had no objection to Liu Xiu's tactical arrangements. They all stepped in and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Xiu turned to Wang Chang and said, "Yan Qing!"
Wang Chang quickly bowed and saluted and said: "The minister is here!"
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Yan Qing, you will be the commander of the Chinese army."
Hearing this, not only Wang Chang was stunned, but everyone present was also stunned and looked at Wang Chang strangely. Wang Chang was just a left cao, and he was still in the old army. What qualifications did he have to command his own army?
?
Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Gentlemen, please don't underestimate Yan Qing! Back then, Yan Qing commanded the Jiang army. He was sure to win every battle and conquer every attack. He was a devoted supporter of the Han Dynasty. His loyalty was as solid as a rock. He is our Han Dynasty."
A great hero in the room!"
His words were undoubtedly a great affirmation of Wang Chang. Wang Chang was moved to tears, his eyes were red, and he choked and said: "Your Majesty is so ridiculously complimentary. I, a humble minister... I cannot deserve it."
Liu Xiu patted Wang Chang's arm and said seriously: "Yan Qing can bear my praise!" As he spoke, he looked around at everyone present and asked: "Do you think Yan Qing can command the Chinese army?"
Wu Han was the first to hold up his hands and said: "Your Majesty is a sage, and I am sincerely convinced!"
Don't think that Wu Han is just a stubborn person who refuses to obey heaven and earth and is looked down upon by everyone. There are times when he can be very flattering in front of Liu Xiu. Of course, Wu Han really admires Liu Xiu from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that the Grand Sima had expressed his stance, the rest of the generals were naturally speechless and said in unison: "Your Majesty is a sage!"
Liu Xiu nodded, and then he slowly scanned the crowd and said word by word: "The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty will depend on this battle! If we win, our Han Dynasty will definitely dominate the world. If we lose..."
At this point, he suddenly paused for a long time, and then Fang Youyou said: "That's absolutely impossible! If all the soldiers are exhausted, I will personally go into battle and fight the thieves to the end, so that the great Han's century-old reputation will not be lost.
