Chapter 1036 The good show begins
The temperature in autumn is still very comfortable. Although it is only early autumn, the heat of summer has been swept away outside Beiliang Pass, replaced by bursts of coolness, and wisps of autumn wind blowing on the face make people feel refreshed.
When the sky gradually became brighter, the sound of war drums in the Yan army's camp resounded through the sky, and the siege army marched towards Tianlang Pass as usual, with an endless stream of shrill horns.
Today, Tuoba Hong appeared at the gate of the front camp again, watching the infantry go to Tianlang Pass.
Tuoba Hong was in a very bad mood because he received a secret message last night that the thousand condor troops were intercepted and killed by the Liang army on the way!
Next, Mu Yunduankang would personally lead his troops to Tianlang Pass, and also asked him to closely monitor the troops led by Mu Yunhuan and Tu Shanlin.
what does that mean?
Does this mean that Mu Yunhuan has been convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason? Then doesn't he stay with a powder keg every day?
Or is it that regardless of whether they are seated or not, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Third Highness are going to completely break up?
Tuoba Hong felt very agitated. No matter what, this incident would eventually affect the morale of the frontline troops and even reduce the overall national strength.
"General Tuoba, it's so early today again, haha."
Afraid of what might happen, Mu Yunhuan's chuckle suddenly reached Tuoba Hong's ears.
"Um, why are you here, Your Highness?"
Tuoba Hong, who turned around, had a slightly sluggish expression on his face, but soon he smiled: "We send out troops to attack the city as usual every day, so it's better to keep an eye on the general."
Mu Yunhuan was wearing casual clothes, with a gold and jade belt tied around his waist, with an eagle pattern embroidered on it. At first glance, he looked like a dragon or a phoenix among men.
Mu Yunhuan smiled casually and said: "I happened to get up early today, so I came to the front camp on a whim. Tsk tsk, General Tuoba has suffered a lot. He patrolled the barracks all day long, and the wind and snow did not hinder him. I am really a great leader.
The pillar of Yan's army."
"Your Highness is ridiculous. This is what a leading general should do."
Tuoba Hong catered to Mu Yunhuan's words, but he secretly wondered why Mu Yunhuan changed his temper today and became concerned about frontline military affairs.
"Hey, it seems that there are a lot of cavalry accompanying the army today." Mu Yunhuan suddenly turned his head and looked at the dark army formation in front: "Why, has the Liang army at Tianlang Pass moved recently?"
Although Mu Yunhuan rarely came to the army, he could still tell that there were twice as many cavalry as usual today.
Tuoba Hong's heart tightened, but he replied nonchalantly on the surface: "The scouts said that the Liang army was about to make a move these days, so they sent more troops. After all, the Liang army has always been good at tricks, so we have to be on guard."
"I see~" Mu Yunhuan smiled and did not continue to delve deeper.
The two of them stood with their hands behind their hands, chatting with each other with smiles on their faces. They seemed to be very harmonious, but in fact they both had their own agendas. The most puzzling one was Tuoba Hong, who still didn't understand Mu Yun.
The purpose of fantasy.
Suddenly, Mu Yunhuan said calmly: "We seem to have a slight shortage of troops to attack the city. In my opinion, we can also send a message to His Highness the Prince and send some more reinforcements. If the Liang army cannot retreat, we will
Use superior force to kill them."
"Uh~this~"
Before Tuoba Hong could answer, Mu Yunhuan turned around and looked into Tuoba Hong's eyes and said with a smile, "Or is it that General Tuoba has already sent a letter asking for reinforcements? Maybe reinforcements are already on the way."
Tuoba Hong, who had always been eloquent, was choked by these words, and his heart felt like a storm.
What does this sentence mean? Reinforcements are already on the way? Is it possible that Mu Yunhuan already knows about the thousand condor troops?
Tuoba Hong suppressed the fluctuation in his heart and said with a smile: "Your Highness is joking, where are the reinforcements coming from? The war in Wuguan is not easy. We don't need to cause trouble to His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise we will look a little incompetent."
Tuoba Hong's expression fell exactly into Mu Yunhuan's eyes. Mu Yunhuan laughed and turned away: "Haha, that's what the general said. I will return to the camp for the time being. If there is any other military affairs
, the general can send someone to report to me at any time."
"Your Highness, walk slowly!" Tuoba Hong bent down slightly.
Looking at Mu Yunhuan's disappearing back, the smile on Tuoba Hong's face gradually disappeared. He knew that Mu Yunhuan must have smelled something unusual, and he was also specifically inquiring about the deployment of troops in the army. It was really...
Too suspicious.
Tuoba Hong went to test Mu Yunhuan that morning, but he didn't expect that Mu Yunhuan would test him again today.
Tuoba Hong stood there for a long time before finally waving his hand to summon the commander of the personal guards and whispering the names of several generals in their ears.
"Ask them to come to my camp at midnight today to discuss matters. Be careful, they must keep it secret and don't let anyone notice it!" Tuoba Hong said in a deep voice.
"promise!"
…
Mu Yunhuan, on the other hand, went straight back to his military tent without stopping. As soon as he entered the camp, his disciple Shan Lin couldn't wait to walk up: "How was it?"
Mu Yunhuan said with a gloomy face: "He is lying to me!"
Tu Danlin's mouth suddenly felt bitter.
Mu Yunhuan poured himself a glass of water, and then recounted the conversation with Tuoba Hong verbatim, especially the change in Tuoba Hong's expression when he mentioned reinforcements.
"It's clear that the Divine Eagle Army is mobilizing, but they didn't mention it at all. There's no problem. There's no mention of spies or letters at all." Mu Yunhuan said fiercely.
When Tuoba Hong came to chat with him in the morning a few days ago, he was very happy and respected him extremely. Now it seems that that time was Tuoba Hong's test, but Mu Yunhuan didn't know what Tuoba Hong was testing.
Is it the content of the so-called secret message or does it mean that Tuoba Hong knew that he was let go by Liang Jun.
"This guy Tuoba Hong, I didn't expect that he was doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes!" Tu Danlin also clenched his fist angrily.
In his eyes, Tuoba Hong's behavior was clearly leaning towards the prince, but he interacted with him sanctimoniously, saying he was neutral.
It’s really hateful!
"Uncle, has the letter been delivered?" Mu Yunhuan asked with a cold face. Now he couldn't care less about being angry.
Tu Danlin nodded: "Don't worry, we have selected the most loyal and reliable guards, sent the message in three ways, and rushed back to the king's tent day and night!"
"Huh~"
Mu Yunhuan let out a long breath and said coldly: "Gather trustworthy guards secretly. If someone comes against us, we must protect ourselves!"
Tu Danlin's face was startled, has he already come to this step?
…
Outside Wuguan, Chen Yue led a group of white-horse Yi Cong and walked straight out of the city gate, with a look of relief on his face.
The dense siege infantry that used to be there have not appeared for two days, and there are even fewer scouts patrolling the sentry.
"Your Majesty, according to the report from the police, a large number of Yan army's cavalry are heading towards Tianlang Pass. It seems that there is also Mu Yun Duankang's imperial flag in the army." Chu Yucheng said softly from the side.
"Hahaha~"
Chenyue raised his head and laughed, looking towards the east and said:
Chapter completed!
