"Why are you panicking? Speak." Gu Junwen stood up with a start, and his sleepiness immediately disappeared.

"It's General Wang Biao. He's leading a group of soldiers towards Tanzhou City." The soldier was panting, his helmet tilted. He ran so fast that he almost fell to the ground.

"What!" Ye Nanyi frowned, "Tanzhou has been prepared for a long time. If we go there rashly now, has Wang Biao learned nothing about military tactics over the years?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We are alone in the middle of the night. I am afraid that General Wang will try to catch us by surprise. The Thirteen Guards of Youzhou are the nomadic Houyi, who live by following the water and grass, but they have been able to stay in Tanzhou for several months without asking for instructions." Gu Junwen walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and suddenly looked up, "Can you see how many troops General Wang took away?"

"They should be the elite troops in his army. Wang Biao's Tiger and Wolf Division has three thousand elite soldiers who are good at surprise attacks. If we don't want to leak the news and launch a night attack, then these three thousand soldiers are most suitable." Ye Nan interrupted and answered, his eyes looking towards the direction of the Tanzhou city wall.

"Thousands of people would make a big conspicuous presence. Even in the middle of the night, General Wang should be..." Gu Junwen spread out the map and looked around.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be here." A slender finger appeared in Gu Junwen's sight, and she looked along the fingertips, "East Gate."

"That's right. The east gate is close to the desert, with yellow sand piling up and the moat being useless. Someone planted a poplar forest nearby, which also serves as an excellent hiding place." Ye Nanyi's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of something.

"General Wang should be safe. If we chase him on horseback, we should be able to recover 3,000 elite soldiers." Deputy General Yuan saluted and strode forward. "I am willing to follow your orders and recover General Wang."

"No need. You are familiar with military affairs. You need to maintain order and stabilize the morale of the troops. Wang Biao is arrogant and you cannot suppress him." Gu Junwen took out his badge and handed it to him casually, "I will go after him."

"Major General Gu, you are now the commander of an army. You must not take risks yourself." The generals who came to inquire about the situation also spoke in unison to comfort him.

"Isn't this just right?" Gu Junwen smiled, and mounted his chestnut horse. "Don't worry, General Wang is just anxious for a moment. I will bring him back. Go!"

Dust flew, and the man and the horse disappeared into darkness.

It had been a long time since he had galloped on horseback on the vast grassland. It was a pitch-dark night. Gu Junwen pursed his lips tightly and stood straight.

"Gee! Whoosh!" He tightened the reins suddenly and looked around. In the distance, there was a flickering fire. Gu Junwen had good eyesight and squinted his eyes to see the general idea.

There was a cavalry of several thousand people parked in front of them. The leader was a burly man with a mysterious figure in the dark. It was Wang Biao.

"Strange, it seems like they don't want to attack the enemy at night, but instead want to kill me to silence me." Gu Junwen muttered and spurred his horse forward.

The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and a soldier wearing a silver mask rode towards them. A few meters away from Gu Junwen, the horse neighed and stopped.

"Is it General Gu?"

"It's me."

"Please forgive me, Major General. My master wants to see you."

"Who is your master?" "Wang Biao."

"Get out of the way!" Wang Biao's rough voice came, parting the crowd, "Major General Gu, I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I hope the Major General will forgive me."
