Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 2162: Who is coming?
"General! The confessions of Xuan Ye, Tianying, Scorpio, and Mu Jiao do not conflict with Zhao Deyan's confession, but they know slightly less information than Zhao Deyan!
With reference to the confessions of these people and the casualties counted by the government, we can basically confirm that the 208 wolf guards that Zhao Deyan brought this time have been wiped out by us!
Eighty-two of them were captured alive, and 126 were beheaded or seriously wounded in previous battles! In Taiyuan City, there should be no fish that slip through the net! "
More than an hour later, Li Junxian, Zhao Kang, and several other hundred horsemen met in the prison cell near the entrance of the prison. After everyone communicated with each other, Zhao Kang bowed to Li Junxian and clasped his fist.
When Li Junxian was interrogating Zhao Deyan, they were not idle. They interrogated Xuan Ye, Tianying, Tian Xie, and Mu Jiao in separate cells for the purpose of talking to Zhao Deyan. Compare their confessions with each other to see if Zhao Deyan lied!
Li Junxian is very satisfied with the final result. Although he is not sure that Zhao Deyan told the truth to him 100%, he can be sure about 80% to 90%. At least, he can be sure of Taiyuan City now. The Turkic spies have been wiped out, and no fish has slipped through the net!
However, some information revealed in Zhao Deyan's confession made Li Junxian a little surprised!
"In the Taiyuan Rebellion, both the first offender and the accomplice have been arrested or executed, and it is time for reckoning!"
Li Junxian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he rescued Li Tai, which really made him relieved, but this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and the matter was far from over, he ordered in a deep voice:
"First of all, Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan of the Wang family must be caught. Taiyuan City has been closed for the past few days. It is impossible for the two of them to leave the city. When the city gate is opened tomorrow, they will definitely try their best to leave the city. You immediately Print the portraits of the two of them overnight and distribute them to the guards at the city gate. Tomorrow, be sure to pay attention to the people who leave the city to prevent the two of them from taking the opportunity to escape! Ben will go to the post house in a while, borrow the telegraph from the academy, and will interrogate The result is sent back to Chang'an, waiting for His Majesty's next order!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Several people bowed to take orders. Seeing that Li Junxian had no other orders, they turned and left.
Li Junxian didn't stop there. He put away the stack of confessions on the table and left the state prison. After instructing the vigil general Haosheng to guard him outside the cell, he ran straight to the post house!
As for the information that Zhao Deyan had confessed, he did not intend to inform the Yu Taiyuan government, so he did not go to see Wang Liaoyuan, but directly planned to send it back to Chang'an by telegraph!
"It seems that Baiqisi must also start training a group of professionals who know how to use telegraphs!"
Li Junxian muttered to himself as he ran his horse on the streets of Taiyuan City.
In other words, if there is a telegraph on his own side, and if there are related talents who can use a telegraph, he will never go to the post house to borrow the telegraph from the academy and ask Tie Dan to help send the telegram. At this time, he has realized On to the issue of confidentiality!
It's not that he can't trust the iron egg, but that the secret report he will send to Chang'an involves a lot of confidential information. It is not advisable for too many people to know it, as it will increase the risk of leakage!
If you want to know how to pass the news in this way, first of all, the Yanhuang Academy, Tie Dan must know the news he is about to send, and then the little **** who is in charge of guarding the telegraph in the Qin Tianjian of Chang'an Palace must also know. In this way, the risk of information leakage is too great!
Li Junxian used the telegraph from the academy to transmit some non-confidential information to Chang'an. At that time, he didn't think there was any problem with this method of transmission. Instead, he thought it was very convenient and fast. Li Junxian felt that something was wrong with the news to be delivered to Chang'an City.
He had only enjoyed the convenience and speed of the telegraph before, but had not yet felt the advantages of the telegraph's confidentiality!
Riding on a horse at the moment, he was thinking about training a group of Baiqi who could use telegraphs after returning to Chang'an, and he was thinking about whether to send a telegram to Chang'an later, or not to hide some key information first, after all There are a lot of people involved in this matter!
"Drive! Drive!"
Thinking about things in his heart, but it did not affect Li Junxian manipulating the horse to rush towards the post house. Before reaching the post house, he had already made up his mind - training Baiqi to learn to use the telegraph It must be done. The information to be transmitted next, the key information cannot be transmitted through the telegraph machine, it has to be expedited by 800 miles and presented to Li Secondhand through the special channel of Baiqi!
More than an hour ago, when Li Junxian and others were attacking the Tongfu Inn, in the northern part of Yunzhou, the frontier army camp.
"Report!"
"Reporting to General Qi, a group of men and horses appeared five miles away from the northern grasslands and came straight to our department! The intention of the other party's arrival is unknown, and the number of people is about 10,000. Are you ready to fight?"
In the central army tent, a soldier quickly trotted in from outside the tent, and bowed to the black-faced general who was standing at the top looking at the map.
Hearing this, the rest of the soldiers in the tent couldn't help being shocked, because after all, they were only the "outposts" of the Tang army, to prevent the Turks from sneaking into the Tang Dynasty, and they did not station heavy troops. In terms of people and horses, it's hard to say who wins and who loses!
There is a high probability that they can't be beat! Because the combat effectiveness of the Turkic army is not covered!
"Ten thousand horses? Come straight to us?"
There was no panic on the face of the black-faced general. He turned around calmly, looked at the soldier who sent the letter and asked, "How is the other party's speed? Is it heavy?"
This black-faced general is Li Jing's great disciple, Su Dingfang! Today's guerrilla general in Yunzhou!
The messenger hurriedly replied: "The other party is extremely fast, it's a light cavalry, and it doesn't look like it has a lot of ruts!"
Su Dingfang frowned, then nodded and said, "I see!"
Immediately, he shouted at several generals in the tent: "Wang Yun, Ding He, Cao Shan, you guys will go outside the Yuanmen with this general to see what the other party is about!"
A middle-aged general in the first place on Su Dingfang's left hand side couldn't help but said at this time: "General Su, the enemy is attacking in large numbers, shouldn't I immediately call the whole army to prepare to fight?"
Su Dingfang walked down, smiled and said:
"Wang Canjun, you guys should go and see first! But you still have to call the battalion generals to be on guard. The other party should not come to fight, but maybe there will be a fight tonight!"
Wang Yun, Ding He, Cao Shan and others were confused by Su Dingfang's self-contradictory words, but seeing that Su Dingfang had no intention of explaining, they headed out of the tent, and they hurriedly followed. , of course, there are also people who go to the camp to order the soldiers to gather.
"General Su, how can you be sure that the other party is not here to fight us? Now that the enemy and me are unknown, the subordinates feel that they should send someone to ask for help from the rear to prevent the other party from being a wolf horse sent from the grassland to sneak into the Tang Dynasty!"
Out of the camp, Wang Yun quickly caught up with Su Dingfang and persuaded him.
Previously, Wang Liaoyuan, the prefect of Bingzhou, dispatched 800 li urgently to deliver Li Ersheng's decree, ordering the troops and horses of the northern border states to take strict precautions to prevent the Turkic wolves from secretly sneaking into the Tang Dynasty. The frontier camp where Su Dingfang was located was also I also received this letter, but it was sent by the Yunzhou Governor's Office.
It is based on this that Wang Yun suspects that the group of men and horses coming in front of him is a Turkic wolf rider sent by Jie Li to sneak into the Tang Dynasty!
If this is the case, their border troops with less than 10,000 troops are not an opponent of 10,000 wolf riders. They need to ask for help from the Zhechong House base camp in Yunzhou!
Su Dingfang said as he walked: "Wang joins the army, if the other party sent the wolf riders to sneak into the Tang Dynasty, do you think they would go straight to our camp in such an open and honest way?"
With just such a sentence, Wang Yun was immediately stopped.
Just listen to Su Dingfang continue: "The other party can't be the wolf cavalry sent by Jie Li to sneak into the Tang Dynasty secretly, and it can't be the army that came to harass the border and fight the autumn wind, because it is about to get dark at the moment, for the cavalry, night battle It is extremely unwise to attack, so I would have guessed that the opponent is not a bad person!"
After a pause, Su Dingfang added: "Of course, this is just this general's guess, and the specific situation needs to be seen by the general! The other party is still five miles away from us~IndoMTL.com~ Even if we find out Well, we have time to prepare!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already boarded the turret of the Yuanmen on the north side of the camp. Su Dingfang stretched out his hand.
Su Dingfang brought it from Chang'an. This thing is extremely precious. Only some high-level generals in the Tang Dynasty are equipped with a pair. According to the position level, it is impossible for Su Dingfang to have one. The pair in his hand, It was Li Jing who lent it to him before he was ordered to leave for the north. Su Dingfang couldn't do anything about it, so he asked his personal soldiers to keep it carefully, and he had never lent it to anyone in the camp!
After taking the military telescope, Su Dingfang did not hesitate to place it in front of him and looked towards the prairie to the north.
At this time, the sun had set, and the sky was between dark and dark. From the telescope, Su Dingfang saw a group of men and horses rushing towards this side at full speed as if they were desperate. Grass and dust, and the cavalry team is also a little scattered!
Through the binoculars, he could even see some of the cavalry in the team who were manipulating the horses and couldn't help but look back. Moreover, the team really didn't carry any weight, and some of them didn't even have weapons on them. !
Is this like coming to fight? I'm afraid you're not here to escape, are you?
Su Dingfang couldn't help but murmured, but Wang Yun was in a hurry. He wanted to grab the military telescope in Su Dingfang's hand and look at it for himself. He had only heard of the function, but he had never personally After using it, he couldn't help but ask: "General Su, what's the matter? What is the origin of the other party? Do you want your subordinates to summon the soldiers to prepare to fight?"
"No! It's true that the other party is not here to fight. There must be something wrong on the grassland!"
Su Dingfang put down the telescope, hesitated for a moment, and said.
