Chapter 841 An unexpected encounter
Chang'an, Zhang Heng camp.
Because Zhang Ba was in charge, no one among the soldiers noticed that their general Zhang Heng had led his troops eastward to Tongguan to carry out important tasks.
The soldiers were just following routine, patrolling and guarding the gate. At this moment, ten soldiers were guarding the east camp gate, looking lazy and relaxed.
"Da da." Suddenly there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and the soldiers were immediately shaken. They looked up and looked ahead. They saw two black spots appearing, growing from small to large, and finally two fast horses appeared.[
The knights on these two fast horses were Zhang Heng's personal soldiers at the three post stations between Tongguan and Chang'an. They were the first to receive the news of the defeat of Tongguan.
"Report to the young general, a great deal has been accomplished." After the soldiers saw the camp, they were overjoyed and shouted.
"Okay." After hearing this, the gatekeepers didn't know what the big deal was, but they didn't dare to neglect and immediately rushed into the camp.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the commander's seat was hanging in the air. Yi Ji and Zhang Ba were sitting on both sides, and the atmosphere was relatively silent. Yi Ji was counting the time, while Zhang Ba was more taciturn and very worried.
"Based on the time, it should be almost there. There should be news in two or three days at most." Yi Ji explained relievedly upon seeing this.
"Yes." Zhang Ba nodded when he heard this, but his worries did not ease much.
"Major General, a scout has come to report that something big has happened." At this moment, the soldier guarding the gate rushed in, reporting with a red face and panting.
"Okay." Yiji, Zhang Ba suddenly stood up and shouted in unison.
"Hahaha." Immediately afterwards, the two of them laughed loudly. Yi Ji had been planning for several months, but once it came to fruition, he was so happy. Zhang Ba laughed that his father was safe and sound, and he also laughed that he had obtained the title of Marquis of Wanhu.
No matter what, they both laughed and were happy.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Zhang Ba asked after laughing.
"The soldiers were ordered to take enough dry food and water bags and head east to defect to Tongguan." Yi Ji said without thinking after hearing this.
"Promise." Zhang Ba agreed and immediately went down to deal with it. Soon after, Zhang Ba's army was ready, he put aside his baggage, and headed for Tongguan with light equipment.
Although Zhang Heng has been at peace in Chang'an for a long time, Zhong Yao and Sima Yi still have not completely relaxed their vigilance. Naturally, Yi Ji and Zhang Ba cannot hide such a large-scale march.
In Chang'an City, in the study of Sili Xiaowei's Mansion, Zhong Yao was writing for fun. "Da da", suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and then Sima Yi rushed in.
"Zhongda, why are you so impatient?" Zhong Yao looked up and saw Sima Yi and teased.
"My lord, I'm sorry. Zhang Heng led his troops to the east with unclear intentions." Sima Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said.
"What?" Zhong Yao screamed when he heard this, and the pen in his hand fell on the case, staining the Caihou paper black.
"Why is he going east? Isn't it possible to attack Tongguan?" After being shocked, Zhong Yao calmed down a little and asked.[
"No, it won't be like this. You must know that Tongguan has 20,000 elite soldiers, plus the general Cao Hong. No matter how stupid Zhang Heng is, he will not want to attack Tongguan." Then, Zhong Yao shook his head again and overturned.
made his own guess.
"Sir, this is what I, Zhang Heng, plan to do." Sima Yi said with a bitter smile.
