Chapter 464 You Wenzong
At midnight, in Guanghan County, the main tent of the army that was suppressing the rebellion.
Two pieces of mother-and-child jade, a few silver bills, and a booklet.
When these things were placed in front of Han Zhao, the rest of the people in the tent were still discussing heatedly what happened last night.
The sudden appearance of Zhenshan Camp, Wei Changtian blocking the road alone, the mysterious master who killed 3,000 soldiers with one sword, and the death of Liu Guang . The whole thing is full of weirdness.
Why didn't Han Zhao report the movements of Zhenshan Camp yesterday? How did Wei Changtian know that Zhenshan Camp would intercept the Shu army that wanted to break through, and accurately block the latter's way? When did this young master of the Wei family break through to the third rank?
Who was the one who wielded that astonishing sword?
Even Han Zhao was completely unaware of the problem, let alone the other generals.
This situation naturally had to be reported to Ning Yongnian, who immediately sent back the Holy Order.
The army will temporarily stay in Guanghan and not advance rashly.
This is why Han Zhao did not immediately send troops to pursue the Shu army as originally planned.
Just six days into the war, the course of events began to deviate from expectations.
But Han Zhao doesn't care about these at all now.
Because although the Shu army successfully broke through, Wei Changtian... "."
Looking at the booklet in front of him, Han Zhao appeared calm on the surface, but his body was slightly tense.
Not only he had this booklet, but most of the main members of the Tongzhou Society also had it.
Therefore, if this item falls into Ning Yongnian's hands without his knowledge, the entire Tongzhou Society will most likely be eradicated.
Fortunately, it has been "intercepted" by myself now.
"cough!"
Beside him, a man in dark golden official uniform suddenly coughed, interrupting Han Zhao's thoughts.
This man's name was You Wenzon. He was the commander-in-chief of the Shuzhou battle. His status in the army was second only to Han Zhao.
More importantly, he is Ning Yongnian's man.
"General Han, these items don't look simple."
Squinting his eyes, You Wenzong casually picked up the booklet and flipped through it: "It should be a communication item that the enemy army has not forgotten."
"Well, what Lord You said is absolutely right."
Nodding calmly, Han Zhao continued, "Such an important item could be left behind, which shows how panicked the rebels were when they broke through yesterday."
“Flustered.”
Looking at Han Zhao, You Wenzong smiled meaningfully: "But didn't the rebels still break through?"
"well"
Han Zhao sighed lightly, his tone seemed somewhat helpless: "Who could have predicted that one sword could kill three thousand soldiers?"
"No, General Han seems to have forgotten one thing."
You Wenzong flipped through the booklet casually and gently corrected him, "Zhenshan Camp was supposed to cut off the enemy's food supplies a hundred miles away. It was an accident that they suddenly appeared near Guanghan City."
"If it weren't for the Zhenshan Camp, I think the rebels would have been able to break through even without that expert."
"General Han, are you right?"
“.”
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, because the suspicion in You Wenzong's words was obvious.
No one is a fool, let alone a civil servant who can become a military commander.
Why did the Shu army choose to break out in the southwest where the defense was weakest? How did Wei Changtian know the pursuit route of Zhenshan Camp? These things can be attributed to coincidence or conspiracy.
You Wenzong obviously preferred the latter, so he took this opportunity to suddenly test Han Zhao.
However, Han Zhao was not an ordinary military officer who only knew how to fight, so he glanced at the several deputy generals in the tent without making a sound, and then asked in a low voice:
"Master You, do you mean that there are rebel spies in the army?"
"I didn't say that."
You Wenzong looked directly at Han Zhao: "I just think it's a little weird."
"Well, thank you for the reminder, Master You."
Han Zhao nodded solemnly: "I will investigate this matter secretly."
"Then I'll trouble you, General."
You Wenzong did not notice Han Zhao's flaw, and his tone softened a little at this time.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly pointed at the two pieces of jade and asked:
"General, what are you going to do with these items?"
"Well, I wonder what you think, sir?"
"I can't say it's a good idea, but I think it should be left to the emperor to decide."
You Wenzong smiled and said, "Perhaps Your Majesty can use them to do something."
“.”
Do something with them.
You Wenzong's meaning was very clear, but Han Zhao seemed a little hesitant.
"Master You, the rebels must have noticed that these items were lost, and I don't think they will be fooled so easily."
"Well, what the general said makes sense."
You Wenzong shook his head: "But it is still up to the emperor to decide."
"Then follow what your Excellency says."
“.”
The two chatted for a while, and soon You Wenzong left the tent with the two pieces of mother-and-child jade and the "code book".
Han Zhao waited for a while and then left on the pretext of something. After returning to his tent, he immediately sent a message to Chu Xianping through Zhuo Yu.
Among the Shu army, only Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping had the "code book" of Tongzhouhui, but the latter had contacted him during the day today, so these two pieces of jade could only belong to Wei Changtian.
That is why Han Zhao immediately notified Chu Xianping and asked him not to send any more messages to Wei Changtian to prevent You Wenzon from knowing more secrets.
And now that the "code book" has been exposed, Tongzhouhui should immediately stop using this set of communication codes.
Of course, I believe Chu Xianping can handle these things properly.
"call"
A quarter of an hour later, Han Zhao, who received Chu Xianping's reply, finally breathed a sigh of relief and took the mother and child jade back into his arms.
But soon this relief was replaced by a more serious uneasiness.
Because of the appearance of these two pieces of mother and child jade, Wei Changtian's whereabouts has become even more confusing.
What happened that caused Wei Changtian to lose such an important thing? Where is he now?
Is he still alive?
The more Han Zhao thought about it, the more anxious he became. Before he knew it, he had been pacing back and forth in the room several times.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"General, I have something important to report!"
"Um?"
Han Zhao suddenly stopped and his expression suddenly became strange.
The voice was unfamiliar, and it was not from the deputy general in the army or his own personal soldiers.
Reporting to a higher level is a taboo in the military, so having just experienced You Wenzong's temptation, Han Zhao is now a little too cautious.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he responded in a deep voice: "Come in."
"yes!"
Soon, the tent curtain was opened, and an ordinary soldier walked into the tent.
Judging from his clothes, he was just a sergeant, but Han Zhao was stunned after just one look at him.
Because this person also has that kind of "same kind" aura.
He has taken the puppet pill and is a member of Tongzhou Society! But that's not right. Not to mention that everyone in Tongzhou Society is a powerful figure, how can a mere sergeant have the qualifications to "join the society"?
More importantly, how could he not know that there was such an "accomplice" in the army? For a moment, Han Zhao's expression changed several times, but at a certain moment he suddenly figured it out.
He looked at the soldier who seemed a little nervous and asked directly:
"But Master Wei asked you to come?"
"yes!"
The soldier immediately moved closer and replied in a low voice: "General, Master Wei said he was waiting for you in the pavilion in the river north of the city."
