Tian Shou bowed his hand to him to express his gratitude.
Wu Chengsi suddenly said: "You should have investigated Dong Yuantong's matter very clearly."
"Yes. Yingmei has been investigating him in Yingzhou for more than two years. We know everything about his hobbies, habits, and interpersonal relationships."
"Then do you know how Dong Yuantong became the captain of Shangzhe Chong?"
"It was Pang Xiaotai, the deputy governor of Yingzhou, who promoted him. Dong Yuantong belongs to Pang Xiaotai's direct lineage in Yingzhou." Tian Shou said with his head lowered.
Wu Chengsi's heart trembled. Pang Xiaotai was one of the three people who dealt with Su Dingfang at the beginning, and was one of the people Wu Chengsi suspected.
If Dong Yuantong is really a traitor to Goryeo, then there must be something wrong with Pang Xiaotai!
Originally, Wu Chengsi was suspicious of Zheng Rentai, but now it seems that the traitor Wu Mei asked him to investigate is most likely this person.
As long as Pang Xiaotai's identity as a Korean traitor is confirmed, the mission assigned by Wu Mei will be completed.
Next, Wu Chengsi could concentrate on preparing for the war against Goryeo.
While thinking, Tian Shou cupped his hands and said, "Master Wu, I really don't want Brother Gao to go out for revenge alone, so I came here to say goodbye to you!"
"You want to leave? But your injury..." Wu Chengsi frowned.
"I have been hunting in the mountains since I was a child, so this injury is not a problem!" Tian Shou insisted.
Zhuge Nan interrupted: "We will arrest Dong Yuantong soon. You don't have to worry too much. If you follow us, you might be able to see Gao Junhui sooner!"
Tian Shou said in surprise: "Really? That's great. Does Brother Gao know?"
Zhugenan shook his head.
"Even if he knew, he would probably still take the risk to kill Dong Yuantong!" Zheng Lingxuan sighed.
Tian Shou was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "I understand. Yingmei's death should have hit him hard. Mr. Wu, everyone, I'm going to find Brother Gao. See you later!" After saying that, he bowed and left.
Got the camp tent.
Wu Chengsi said: "Wei Heng, go and prepare a horse, some dry food and transportation for Brother Tian."
Wei Heng responded and followed out.
Wu Chengsi pondered for a while and then said: "Zhuge Si Cheng, Miss Ling Xuan, I will temporarily lend General Heijialang and 500 soldiers to you for your use. I will leave the matter of arresting Dong Yuantong to you."
"Aren't you going to Yingzhou with us?" Zhugenan asked in surprise.
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "You were originally responsible for this case, and I have other things to do."
Zhuge Nan said with a bitter face: "Okay, but there is no need for the five hundred sergeants. We have some manpower in Yingzhou. It will be no problem to grab a few captains."
Wu Chengsi thought of the strangeness of this case and said seriously: "It's better to take it with you, just to be prepared."
Zhugenan nodded and did not refuse again.
When Zheng Lingxuan saw that Wu Chengsi did not join them, she felt a little disappointed and said softly: "Wu Shaoqing, are you going back to the military camp?"
"Yes, after you capture Dong Yuantong, remember to bring him to Liucheng Military Camp. I want to ask him some questions." Wu Chengsi said with a smile.
Zhugenan shouted: "Of course we have to go find you. You also promised to let us hang out in your military camp. Don't say you forgot!"
Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I won't forget. You are welcome to come over at any time."
Just after I finished speaking, I suddenly felt itchy on my neck. I stretched out my hand and touched a strange little black insect I had never seen before, about the size of a coin.
If he had seen such a big bug in Chang'an, Wu Chengsi would have been frightened. However, after staying in the military camp for a month, he was able to remain calm and flick the bug away with his fingers.
…
Early the next morning, the brigade headed northeast. After two days of walking, Wu Chengsi separated from Zhuge Nan and others.
Zhuge Nan, Zheng Lingxuan and Hei Chichangzhi took 500 soldiers to Yingzhou.
Wu Chengsi, Han Cheng and Wu Youji took several personal guards, plus Qin Wenhui and Qiu Zhibin, and went to the Zuowuwei camp north of Liucheng.
The camp is located fifty miles north of Liucheng, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the camps are neatly and tightly built.
When they arrived outside the camp, the team leader who was guarding the gate recognized Wu Chengsi at a glance and hurriedly greeted him, saying happily: "General, General Wu Lang, General Han Lang, you are back!"
Wu Chengsi nodded with a smile and entered the stronghold.
Looking around, I saw soldiers standing guard everywhere in the camp. In Nuo Da's camp, I could only hear the sound of armor clashing and footsteps, but not the slightest sound of human beings.
In this atmosphere, a feeling of chilling arose from the bottom of his heart. Wu Chengsi nodded secretly, feeling confident in leading such a group of soldiers to fight.
After walking a few steps into the camp, I suddenly saw a group of soldiers pushing a row of unicycles and transporting a batch of goods toward the gate.
Wu Chengsi stepped forward and asked, "What is this gift?"
The leading sergeant replied: "Back to General, these are old ordnance materials that have been replaced. According to the instructions from above, they will be sent to Liucheng and sealed by the local Zhechong Mansion."
Wu Chengsi nodded and let them pass.
These soldiers are all wearing brand-new armor, indicating that the water-borne supplies have been delivered to the camp, and all the soldiers have put on the latest military uniforms.
According to the instructions of the Ministry of War, the old ordnance replaced by the Zuo Wu Army will eventually be sent to the local army for use.
The total armor rate of the soldiers of the Tang Army is very high, around the seventh level. Among them, the Sixteenth Guards have even reached the tenth level. This is also the biggest advantage of the Tang army compared with foreigners.
The equipment of the Sixteenth Guards is manufactured by the Ordnance Supervisor and then distributed by the Military Department.
The local Zhechong Army's ordnance and armor required the soldiers to find their own solutions. Many poorer soldiers could not obtain armor at all, so the armor coverage rate was very low.
In order to reuse resources, the imperial court often asked the central army to give replaced old ordnance and armor to local armies for use.
Due to limited ordnance production, sometimes the Central Army may not be able to allocate new weapons and armor, so Zuowuwei has not updated its equipment for several years.
In addition to having to fight the Koreans, Wu Chengsi's influence in the court also played a key role in being able to change into sophisticated equipment so quickly this time.
Arriving at the entrance of the commander's tent, Wu Chengsi said to Qin Wenhui and the others: "I will force you two to live in our military camp first, and then let you go back after the officials from the Ministry of Punishments arrive."
Qin Wenhui said in a low voice: "I wish you a prosperous military career."
Qiu Zhibin looked depressed and casually raised his hands, and he and Qin Wenhui were taken away by several personal guards.
Wu Chengsi entered the commander's tent and immediately wrote a memorial to impeach Qin Wenhui and Qiu Zhibin, and asked the Ministry of Punishment to send officials to investigate their crimes.
In addition, Ding Xingjian was promoted as the governor of Youzhou.
As soon as the memorial was finished, Pei Xingjian strode into the camp, cupped his hands and said, "General, you are back."
Wu Chengsi gave an order to a personal guard, "Fly it immediately and send it back to Chang'an."
After the guards left, he stood up and said with a smile: "General Pei, your camp is very well set up. I will have to ask you for advice on this camping technique someday."
Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "The general is ridiculous. The army arrived at Liucheng the day before yesterday. The general is back today. I wonder if the trip to Youzhou went smoothly?"
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "It's going well. Can there be military orders from Yingzhou?"
"General Manager Li is currently integrating the Yingzhou troops and sending people to contact the Yuan boys and the Khitan people. There should be no action in the short term."
Wu Chengsi nodded and ordered: "General Pei, go and pass my order to all the generals to come to the commander's tent."
Pei Xingjian cupped his hands, accepted the order and left.
Wu Chengsi picked up his writing brush and wrote another letter to Li Ji, asking him to give orders to Pang Xiaotai and Zheng Rentai to accompany him to Liucheng Camp.
"Send it to Yingzhou Camp as quickly as possible!" Wu Chengsi gave the letter to another guard.
…
Outside Yingzhou City, Zhuge Nan and his party walked around to the north gate. Looking at the bustling city gate, Zhuge Nan said: "General Black Teeth, you can station yourself outside the city. We will go in and arrest people."
Black Teeth Changzhi said displeasedly: "The general asked me to cooperate with you in arresting people, why do you want me to wait outside?"
Zhuge Nan hummed: "There are so many of you, all riding horses and wearing armor. It's too eye-catching. What if Dong Yuantong gets the news in advance and runs away?"
Hei Te Changzhi said solemnly: "That's easy. I'll ask the brothers to wait outside, and I will go with you to arrest them."
Zhuge Nan was about to nod when suddenly, he heard Zheng Lingxuan pointing at a fast horse rushing out of the city and shouting: "Look, that person seems to be Gao Junhui!"
Zhugenan turned around to look, but the horse had already gone far away, and he could only see its back.
When I was carefully identifying it, I heard a whooshing sound, and Black Tooth Chang shot an arrow at the back!
