Chapter 958 Inner Ghost
Who can the masked man in the ambush be if he is not Zhu Xiaoyan?
Zhu Xiaoyan walked up slowly, looked at Han Mo with his eyes under the mask, and a rare smile finally appeared in the depths of his eyes, saying, "I always feel that even if the King of Hell comes out in person, it will be difficult for you to take away."
Although Han Mo looked calm when he saw Zhu Xiaoyan, he was very excited inside.
He knew in his heart that Zhu Xiaoyan must have brought the remaining soldiers back to the army camp, and then he returned to find him.
He followed the bandits along the way, and saw that wherever he passed, there were extremely complicated places. Even after even coming to this strange valley, he knew that the group of Yan people in front must have set up a trap here.
He was not sure that this group of Yan people was Zhu Xiaoyan and his actions, but it was undoubtedly his own people.
Hou Biao sent two subordinates to follow Zhu Xiaoyan and his group, which was equivalent to asking two rabbits to track a group of wolves. He knew without asking, and Zhu Xiaoyan must have discovered someone who was following him, and then stopped him, and set up a suspicion array to lead the bandits here to annihilate them.
The two sides gathered here without saying much. They knew that the place was right and wrong after all, so they immediately turned north.
Zhu Xiaoyan is already very familiar with this road and is familiar with it. Apart from occasionally stopping and resting along the way, he travels day and night. After two days of travel, he walked out of the mountains. After another two days of travel, he had already left the boundary of Shannan County.
After leaving the mountains, the people they saw hid, and from time to time they saw groups of people wearing swords and bows heading north, looking like they were going to join the army in Kyoto City.
Han Mo and others either had short shirts or were wearing Wei army armor, while Zhu Xiaoyan and his group were dressed in strong clothes. These people didn't speak, and others couldn't tell their accent. Many people thought they were going to join the war in Kyoto City, and even greeted each other when they saw them, but the journey was very smooth.
Finally, I saw the towering Eyang Ridge from afar. The flags were waving, and the group speeded up. When they approached Eyang Ridge, they found that there were not many tents. When soldiers in the camp saw Han Mo and his group, they immediately shouted happily: "The general is back, the general is back!"
Soon, Han Mo saw Wanqi Qing coming with several generals and said respectfully: "General, you are back, everyone has been worried!"
Han Mo also heard on the way that the Yan army had increased reinforcements later, with a total strength of nearly 100,000. However, looking at the area of Evil Yangling, although it was not clear how many people there were for a while, it was far from possible 100,000 people. He asked, "General Wanqi, is General Han in the camp?"
Wanqiqing hurriedly said, "General, Governor Han has led his troops to Wei County two days ago. The last general brought five thousand elite troops to guard Eyangling, so as not to fall into the hands of others."
Han Mo nodded, and Wanqi Qing said again: "The General has worked hard all the way. Let's go back to the camp to rest for a while, and at the end, he will immediately order someone to prepare food."
After walking for several days, everyone was very tired and didn't say much. Han Mo and others took a shower in a mountain spring pool in Eyangling, washed away the blood and fatigue on their bodies, changed their clothes, and then had a full meal.
After dinner, Han Mo called Wan Qi Qing to inquire about the situation. Wan Qi Qing reported: "The Qing army has sent envoys here several times, begging our army to march into Wei County. Just because our reinforcements and food and supplies failed to arrive in time, Governor Han has not sent troops. The 50,000 troops from the country had arrived a few days ago, and the food and supplies also followed. If the Qing people did not send troops, they were not satisfied, but they had too much time to prepare for the Wei people, which was difficult to deal with. So two days ago, Governor Han finally ordered the entire army to advance, and now they are afraid that they will soon reach the border of Wei County. This EYangling is an important place in Suiding County. Governor Han is worried that someone would attack here, so he asked someone to lead 5,000 soldiers to garrison here, or the late general is old and steadfast, so Governor Han handed EYangling to the late general!"
Han Mo looked solemn, pondered for a while, and finally asked: "General Wanqi, do you know that the Feng people seemed to have also come!"
"Feng Guoren?" Wan Qi Qing was stunned and said in surprise: "General, is this... this... is it true? But has the last general never heard of it?"
Han Mo thought for a while and said, "I cannot be sure of it for the time being, but if Feng Guo really sent troops, there will be news in the next few days!" But he knew in his heart that Feng Guo was most likely to send troops, otherwise the Shannan Army would never be able to turn around without confirmation.
Wanqi Qing said: "General, the court will also pay attention to the movements of Feng Kingdom. If Feng Kingdom sends troops, once the court finds out, it will soon inform the general!" After pausing, he finally asked carefully: "General, I heard that this time I went to intercept Sima Haoyue, the general and his brothers... encountered an ambush?"
Han Mo stared at Wan Qi Qing without hesitation and said lightly: "General Wan Qi already knows?"
Wanqiqing nodded and said, "When the leader of Fengqi came back, he reported this to Governor Han. He was present at that time, so...!"
Han Mo knew that he was talking about Zhu Xiaoyan and said, "He said it right. We did fall into the trap set by Sima Haoyue."
Wanqi Qing frowned and thought for a while. Finally, he didn't say much, but just bowed and wanted to retreat.
"Let's wait!"
Han Mo shouted calmly: "General Wanqi, you seem to have something to say, so you might as well say it!"
Wanqi Qing shook his head and said, "The General misunderstood. Actually... Actually...!"
Han Mo whispered: "General Wanqi, since you have introduced the introduction, you are just wanting to say something to me. If you don't say it out, you will feel uncomfortable, and I will feel uncomfortable too!"
Wanqi Qing smiled and finally lowered his voice: "General, if the last general is wrong, please forgive me!"
"You just say it's okay!" Han Mo signaled Wan Qi Qing to sit down on the chair next to him.
After Wan Qi Qing sat down, hesitated slightly and finally said, "General, when he heard that the general was surrounded by a trap set by Sima Haoyue, General Mo felt very strange in his heart." He glanced at Han Mo and looked solemn: "General, you were extremely cautious when you sent troops that time. How could Sima Haoyue know your whereabouts..."
Han Mo nodded slightly and said, "General Wanqi is right. I have been curious. Where did Sima Haoyue know the general's marching route?"
Wan Qiqing hesitated for a moment and finally whispered: "General, General Shu Mo said bluntly, did the general think that someone deliberately leaked the news?"
"Does General Wanqi mean that there are spies inside us?" Han Mo frowned slightly.
Wanqi Qing said solemnly: "The General of the Immortals dare not say this, but... But the General of the Immortals cannot deny that there is such a possibility!"
Han Mo touched his chin and stared at Wanqi Qing and asked, "General Wanqi, do you know anything?"
Wan Qiqing immediately said: "General, don't misunderstand. General, I don't know anything, but because I thought about this matter for a while and felt that it was strange, so I said this. General, I have no other intentions, just want to remind the general. The general is now related to the fate of our Northwest Army. General, I don't want any accidents to occur in the general."
Han Mo sighed: "General Wanqi, you are highly respected and are dedicated to the Northwest Army. I am very pleased." He looked at Wanqi Qing sincerely and said with a gentle voice: "General Wanqi has been in the Northwest Army for decades. That is a veteran of the Northwest Army. The future of the Northwest Army is not only Han Mo's affairs, but also General Wanqi's affairs."
Wan Qiqing also sighed lightly: "It is precisely because of this that we will have such presumptuous words today."
"It's not a risk." Han Mo said seriously: "I'm not hiding the old general. Han Mo has confirmed that there must be spies among the senior generals of our Yan army." He leaned forward slightly and said: "General Wanqi should remember that when he agreed on this matter, only a few people knew that when the general set out, he still had a trace. Not many people knew that the team that was divided was led by this general, and they didn't know that this army was going to intercept Sima Haoyue... Even our own people knew about the military operations, Sima Haoyue was well aware of, and could even set up a trap for us to get in. If it weren't for the insider, I would have been unable to think of any other reasons."
Wanqiqing nodded and said, "What the General said is very much. If the General has such an idea, the General will be relieved."
"General Wanqi will naturally not just remind me that there are internal ghosts inside us." Han Mo said calmly: "Does General Wanqi know any clues?"
Wan Qi Qing thought about it and finally said, "Shuh Mo Jiang does not dare to speak out. This matter is quite serious. If there is no evidence, I will never dare to speak nonsense."
"In this way, General Wanqi is already a person of suspicion?" Han Mo clenched his fists and said.
Wanqiqing slowly stood up and bowed, "General, you have been tired for a few days, and I will not be able to disturb you anymore. You should rest first, and I will take a leave first!"
Han Mo said lightly: "General Wanqi, the inner demon is unclear, and the Northwest Army is always in danger." After a pause, he said slowly: "You tell me what you think. Before there is no conclusive evidence, I will not arbitrarily determine who is the inner demon..."
Wan Qiqing sat down again, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "General, as long as people in this world are not fools, no matter what they do, there must be a reason."
Han Mo nodded and said, "Yes!"
"For such a big thing, someone dares to betray the general. There is no doubt that what this person is planning is not small." Wan Qi Qing looked serious: "The general thinks, if someone betrays you, what is the biggest reason?"
