Chapter 1035 Speculation
Seeing La Zierhua leaving with scars, Baili Shen shook his head helplessly: "It's such a pity that the lives of a thousand soldiers were lost in vain."
The Shenying Army was the elite of the Yan Army, and Mu Yunduankang was usually reluctant to use it. In the blink of an eye, a thousand of them were gone.
"Liang Jun has been prepared~"
Mu Yunduankang frowned and muttered:
"It shouldn't be. Even we ourselves know very little about the dispatch of the Shenying Army. It is definitely a secret in the army! How could the Liang Army deploy an ambush on the road in advance?"
You must know that there is a large number of Yan troops attacking the city directly north of Wuguan. It is impossible for the Liang army to send troops from the due north. They can only go around through the mountain trails. It is difficult to pass a large number of troops and horses in a short time.
This means that Liang Jun guessed that they would send troops from the beginning, and sent troops to squat there in advance. It would be absolutely too late to wait for the crossbowmen to find out the information before sending troops.
"I'm afraid the situation is more complicated than we thought."
Baili Shen's eyes stayed on the map and said: "The Liang army sent out early. The most likely reason is that Chenyue discovered that their secret message was lost. In order to prevent us from attacking Mu Yunhuan, he sent troops to intercept and kill him in advance."
"Oh? That's what you think?" Mu Yunduankang glanced at Baili Shen in surprise, and smiled with interest:
"You didn't believe the content of this letter before, why do you believe it now?"
"I still don't really believe it now." Baili Shen spread his hands:
"But everything must be supported by evidence. If you don't believe it, it's just my personal intuition. Judging from the current intelligence and Liang Jun's movements, it seems more likely to be true.
Otherwise, they have no reason to send out even the heavy cavalry and put up such a big formation. Wouldn't it be nice to know that we can send some cavalry to harass them?"
Mu Yunduankang squinted his eyes and said:
"You are right. The more Liang Jun wants to hinder us, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us. But don't think they can keep Mu Yunhuan by eating a thousand of our cavalry!"
Baili Shen suddenly turned his head: "What is His Highness's plan?"
"I want to go to Tianlang Pass myself!"
Mu Yunduankang stood up slowly: "It takes too much effort to send out groups of cavalry, and it is troublesome to send messages back and forth. This time I will go directly to Tianlang Pass to settle the grievances between us."
"Isn't it a bit too risky?"
A look of surprise appeared on Baili Shen's face:
"The number of soldiers and horses under the command of the Third Highness, plus the private soldiers of the Tu Shan family, is about thirty to forty thousand. It would be difficult for His Highness to capture Mu Yunhuan there. If there is a fight between the two armies, something serious will happen.
"
"Why, do those people still dare to attack me? No matter how much courage they have, they won't dare!" Mu Yunduankang had a hint of murderous intent on his body.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Baili Shen said nothing more.
Mu Yun Duankang waved his robe, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:
"I sent an order to Tuoba Hong to secretly mobilize troops and horses to guard against a mutiny. The camp ordered 20,000 cavalry to accompany the prince to Tianlang Pass.
I'll leave this to you, the siege is suspended, and after I deal with Mu Yunhuan, I'll take care of Liang's army!"
Baili Shen clasped his fists solemnly: "No!"
…
midnight
Tu Shanlin, who looked nervous and walked in a hurry, woke up Mu Yunhuan who was sleeping.
Mu Yunhuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Uncle, it's so late at night. Is there anything urgent that we can't discuss tomorrow?"
"Huan'er, I'm afraid something big is going to happen!" Tu Danlin said with a gloomy face.
A gentle cry of "Huan'er" made Mu Yunhuan's sleepiness disappear. Although Tu Danlin was his uncle, he was always addressed as "His Royal Highness" in the army.
Now that I am calling Huan'er, it means that the situation is a bit serious.
"What's wrong, uncle?" Mu Yunhuan asked in a deep voice.
Tu Danlin lowered his voice and said: "I have my own people stationed in the Wuguan camp. A few days ago, the logistics department prepared dry food for thousands of Condor troops. It is said that they are coming to Tianlang Tianwai."
The person responsible for preparing dry food for the Condor Army happened to be the spy placed by Tu Danlin, so the news was quickly delivered to Tu Danlin.
"Condor Army?" Mu Yunhuan was stunned.
"That's right! And it's very likely that he came here for His Highness!" Tu Danlin said nervously.
"Aimed at me?" Mu Yunhuan's expression changed:
"How is it possible? Why are the Condor Army looking for me? Is the information wrong?"
"This is a bit of information that my spies spent a lot of money to get." Tu Danlin said:
"Although we can't guarantee that we are here for Your Highness, there is no smoke without fire. We need to make plans in advance."
Mu Yunhuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
Tu Danlin continued: "The Condor Army must have moved. What can a thousand Condor Army do if they come here? Could it be that they are helping to attack the city? Moreover, Tuoba Hong did not say hello to us in advance to explain this matter.
He is deliberately hiding it from us.
According to my judgment, this team of Condor Army is most likely coming towards us!"
"Weird, too weird." Mu Yunhuan's heart suddenly became nervous.
Only Mu Yunduankang has the qualifications to mobilize the Divine Eagle Army, and no one can agree with him when the Divine Eagle Army is dispatched.
There is only one possibility, they are here for you!
"And I spent a lot of money in the camp to find out some mixed information. It seems that Tuoba Hong has a secret letter in his hand. This secret letter may come from a spy of the Liang Army.
All the strange things that have happened in the past two days should be related to this secret letter."
Tu Danlin recounted everything he had gained in the past two days.
"Secret message~Condor Army~Liang Army's spies~"
Mu Yunhuan squinted his eyes and muttered, it was these factors that made the current situation confusing.
What exactly happened?
Mu Yunhuan walked back and forth in the tent, feeling that a huge conspiracy was brewing against him.
"What on earth are Tuoba Hong and the Crown Prince playing?" Tu Danlin frowned, unable to figure out the connection.
"Uncle, is there such a possibility?" Mu Yunhuan suddenly stopped and said:
"The so-called secret letter by Tuoba Hong is about me, and the content is enough to convict me. Mu Yunduankang wants to use this letter to kill me!"
It has to be said that Mu Yunhuan was able to stand out from the crowd of princes and become the leader. He was quite capable. He actually guessed the whole story based on bits and pieces of information.
"Attached to you?"
Tu Shanlin was shocked by his idea and murmured: "No, it's unlikely. Even if Mu Yunduankang is more outrageous, he wouldn't dare to kill a prince without the emperor's orders, right?
It’s not like we committed any treason.”
"Treason and treason~"
Mu Yunhuan's body suddenly froze, and he said word by word: "What if that secret letter framed me for treason?"
There was silence in the tent, and both of them looked extremely ugly.
"Does Mu Yun Duankang dare to take action just because of a framed letter? He is not afraid of Your Majesty's future blame!" Tu Danlin said fiercely.
"So what if I am blamed? By then I will have become a headless ghost!" Mu Yunhuan said through gritted teeth:
"My brother can do anything."
Tu Danlin pursed his lips, suppressing the fluctuations in his heart and said: "These are all our speculations, are they not certain?"
"No, we can't afford to take this risk." Mu Yunhuan now felt a chill on the back of his head.
"Then how should we deal with it?" Tu Danlin asked eagerly.
"Immediately send a letter to the king's account and ask my uncle to help!" Mu Yunhuan said eagerly.
