Wuhu Mingyue

Chapter 220: Zugai's Worries

Looking at the reactions of Zu Gai and Xu Chen, Zu Ti was a little confused, so although he also felt that the statement in this letter was a bit strange, is it too much to say that there is fraud?

Seeing Zu Ti's confused face, Zu Gai didn't rush to explain, but said to Xu Dang, "Fifth brother, tell us what you think first."

"No, big brother!" After Xu Wei replied to Zu Gai, he sorted out his thoughts a little bit, and then said slowly to Zu Gai and Zu Ti: "First, this letter said that only small-scale What I don't understand is that Tongguan is so dangerous, how can the small-scale Huns dare to provoke it easily? Second, what we learned from He Lun and his subordinates that the Hangu Pass was broken is consistent , and Hangu Pass is not a small pass, so it seems that the Huns who can break through Hangu Pass should not be small-scale troops, but should be what we always think of as the Huns' army! Third, the seal on this letter and Zhang Dan Even the inscription by hand cannot prove that Zhang Dan must have written it himself, and it is very likely that it was written by someone else! Finally, it did not take long for the Huns to break through Hangu Pass and march all the way to Tongguan. This Tongguan should be in urgent need of reinforcements, but why did the letter The reaction is so flat? Why do we want us to stay here? It’s so strange! Are you worried that we are faked by the Huns? I think if they really have doubts, they should also designate us as a target first, let us go first It’s reasonable to consume it!”

"Well, what the fifth brother said is not bad. Third brother, you didn't realize that after we were stationed in Taiyao Town, there were obviously traces of large army operations here. I think we should send scouts to check around Tongguan, especially to see if there are any soldiers on the ground. If traces of large-scale battles or a large number of horseshoe prints are found, this letter must be fraudulent!"

"But, big brother, fifth brother, if there is a fraud, they should trick us to Tongguan, wouldn't that be better?"

"Not necessarily, third brother, they can completely stabilize us, and then surprise us with cavalry!"

"Brother, are you so sure that Tongguan has fallen?"

"Although not sure, but most of them have already fallen!"

"Third brother, I also agree with elder brother's judgment, Tongguan is likely to have fallen!"

Zu Ti became a little silent. If Tongguan has fallen, then his troops are now exposed to the enemy. It is even possible that the enemy has sent troops to attack him while replying to the letter. Now he must make a decisive decision immediately. !

"Big Brother, Fifth Brother, I will arrange for people to evacuate this place and head towards Anle Township!"

"Well... Anle Township is directly south of Tongguan. They probably didn't expect us to go there. Okay, let's go to Anle Township and send out scouts around. If it's as we expected, the enemy army should attack immediately. Let's go, without further ado, let's go now!"

"Okay, big brother, third brother, I'm going to look for those people from our two clans who haven't arrived yet, and tell them to change their way!"

"Well, that's very good, then fifth brother will be hardworking for you, and your third brother and I will arrange the dispatch of troops to Anle Township now, and you should go and return soon!"

"promise!"

For the whole night, Zu Ti's scouts in Taiyao Town did not find any enemy troops from the direction of Tongguan, not even a single person around...

Anle Township, inside Zuti's big tent

Both Zu Ti and Zu Gai found it a bit inconceivable that Tongguan not only did not send a single soldier to attack Taijia Town, but also did not even send a scout horse to investigate their own side. This is really unbelievable, but it is It could not prove that the previous guesses of Zu Ti and Xu Tong were wrong, so both Zu Ti and Zu Gai fell into deep thought.

Zu Ti broke the silence first, and asked, "Brother, is it because they haven't thought about attacking us yet?"

"Probably not. I believe that the judgment of Xu Tong and I is correct. Now we will wait for the scouts sent to Daiziying Township and Tongguan to come back and see what's going on."

"Well, we have to leave it at that, brother, who do you think scooped up Tongguan?"

"Hey, Tongguan is such a natural danger. I also hope that the judgment of my fifth brother and I is wrong, but I have no way to explain our previous doubts, so I have to consider the worst possibility. I think Tongguan can be scooped up so easily. Only the Xiongnu who came from the north of Tongguan!"

"Brother, do you mean that there is another group of Huns who crossed the Yellow River from Fenglingdu and rushed directly to Tongguan?"

"That's right, by surprise, there may be a situation in Tongguan that we don't know about, which gave the Huns an opportunity to seize Tongguan's natural danger in one fell swoop!"

"Aren't we under attack? If the Huns who entered the customs from Luoyang all the way also appeared, we..."

"Lonely army, we are already alone, third brother, elder brother didn't blame you for King Qin's original intention, but this time it was indeed too hasty!"

"Brother, our country is in misfortune, the Xiongnu are plundering, how can we stand by and watch?!"

"Brother didn't object to your sending troops, hey, now you have to take one step at a time! Cough cough!"

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, the journey was a bit hard, and I caught a little bit of wind and cold, it will be fine in a few days!"

"Big brother..."

"Okay, my second brother has sent me some medicine to cure the wind and cold today, don't worry, step up the training of troops, I think we will fight the Xiongnu in a short time!"

"Well, brother, you should go to bed earlier, Shizhi will go and arrange this matter with the generals."

After watching Zu Ti leave, Zu Gai breathed a sigh of relief, and then his cough intensified again.

After coughing for a while, Zu Gai slowly calmed down, but his face had already turned pale...

Zu Gai found that he didn't know what happened recently. He always had a slight fever, and then he was particularly afraid of the cold, and his body was easily tired, but he had no other symptoms of discomfort.

Zu Gai shook his head lightly, and tried his best to concentrate his thoughts. He had too many things to do and too many plans to arrange. Several of his brothers, especially the second brother Zu Na, although capable , but it is too high-minded, but he is a concubine, and his personality is not compatible with Zuti's brothers, but as the eldest brother, he is also the younger brother who loves him the most in his heart, because he has amazing talents in the field of military supply officials. Basically, he can complete whatever materials he asks for, and even in some very harsh situations, he can try his best to meet his various planning needs. This kind of talent can only be compared with the ancient Xiao He!So as long as Zuna is used well, it will be an indispensable mainstay of the Zu family!But Zuna's character is really a headache, if he doesn't beat this kid well, he will really hurt him.

Especially Zu should know that he is already getting old, coupled with this continuous march, his body is really overwhelmed, just like in the past few days, he will feel tired without doing anything, and he is really lacking in energy up...

Thinking of this, Zugai didn't hesitate any more. After putting on another thick coat, he went to the military supply department where Zuna was.
