When Ye Qingcheng told the reason for this time, everyone understood the reason why Zhang Yuan chose to remain silent, so they all nodded and agreed to keep it secret for him and not to leak the matter, otherwise Zhang Yuan would most likely be informed. The penalty for not reporting it, let alone being demoted one level, is probably even possible to being demoted to Fire Chief. But since it is for the safety of the clan, everyone can understand this. After all, we are all brothers in the same battalion, and everyone is monolithic.
But now that Zhang Yu'an said it, Ye Qingcheng suddenly thought that since even a young brigade commander like Zhang Yu'an knew about it, then as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had an entire intelligence network covering the Central Plains. He had spies everywhere and could even recruit It’s impossible for Li Longji, an immortal-level cultivator, not to know this.
At this time, Ye Qingcheng's eyes suddenly flashed, it turned out to be like this! He finally understood that the Xiqi Allied Forces had been victorious against Anlushan all year round, but they suddenly found an excuse to attack them. It turned out that Li Longji had already known the situation on the Turks side, and he also wanted to eradicate the Turks, who were even His ancestors had not been able to clear up the hidden dangers, but before that, they had to pave the way for the Northern Expedition, which meant eradicating the possible hidden dangers on the road. Otherwise, why is it just for a crusade against the Xi Qi coalition, but it is necessary to concentrate the most elite cavalry of the four major Jiedushi, a total of more than 200,000 people? Such a force is even enough to wipe out any large and small tribes in the surrounding area. It seems that he has already Already made plans.
Sure enough, at this moment, a messenger from the Tang Army suddenly shouted nearby: "Chang'an! Someone is coming from Chang'an! It seems that the emperor has issued a new order."
"Chang'an?" Tang Wenzhong lost his voice: "How could there be an order coming from Chang'an? Our battle was obviously just completed this morning, how could there be an order coming from Chang'an now? Doesn't that mean that Emperor Xuanzong expected it from the beginning? Will the battle here be won?"
"No." Ye Qingcheng touched his chin, nodded towards Bai Quan and said: "Go and investigate. If my guess is good, this envoy should have been inside the Tang Army camp from the beginning. I am afraid Emperor Xuanzong has already As expected, if the battle can be won, he will directly issue instructions to Emperor Xuanzong."
Bai Quan nodded and disappeared in a flash. Although it was not the first time they met, everyone still discussed in an uproar, but what they discussed more was Ye Qingcheng's instructions just now. Because Ye Qingcheng put forward this hypothesis, many people agreed with it. Yes, if it were not for this reason, how could Li Longji know the outcome of the battle before the war started? He must have prepared two plans.
Sure enough, not long after Ye Qingcheng chatted with the brothers in the scout camp, Bai Quan rushed back like a gust of wind. After saluting Ye Qingcheng, he immediately reported the information he had just obtained.
Sure enough, the envoy who claimed to be from Chang'an had been lurking in the Tang Army's camp disguised as a support staff from the beginning. He only showed up now and went directly to Wang Zhongsi's commander's tent, causing them to stop arguing.
While they were talking, another messenger ran towards their scout battalion's station. When he saw the dark group of people here, he was stunned for a moment. Then when he saw Ye Qingcheng in the crowd, his eyes As soon as he lit up, he immediately ran towards Ye Qingcheng.
"Captain Ye is right! No, it's Captain Ye now. Commander Wang asked you to hurry to the commander's tent. If it weren't for the reminder from the soldiers, we wouldn't have known that you had rushed back from the other side. Fortunately, I thought of coming first. Take a look at your scout camp. If you are not there, it will be difficult to find you. It is said that your movements are as fast as ghosts. With just one jump, you can jump directly to the Xiqi coalition camp." This messenger soldier He ran up to Ye Qingcheng and talked like a barrage of words. With his ability to exaggerate, even Ye Qingcheng, who occasionally liked to brag, didn't know how to evaluate himself in his words.
"Can you pull him down and jump to the Xi Qi Allied Forces Camp? Is that still a human being?" Ye Qingcheng glared at him, making the messenger a little embarrassed. Of course he knew that he seemed to have exaggerated, but Ye Qingcheng probably wouldn't care about this. .
"Wait, you just said captain? What happened to captain?" Bai Quan pulled him aside and asked, because he had never heard about Ye Qingcheng's promotion when he went out to inquire about information.
The messenger glanced at him and quickly saluted: "I think this is the deputy of the White Team. You have been promoted by half a level. Congratulations. This promotion is for Wang Shuai to serve as the sixth team of the Scout Battalion. Everyone who has won, should have cleaned up the surrounding battlefields in two days, and after the military discussion, there would have been an awards ceremony for those who have made contributions in this battle. However, because of the envoy from Chang'an, the situation seems to be a bit urgent, so The list of promotions was announced in advance. Captain Ye was promoted to the rank of Colonel of the Scout Battalion because of his first contribution to the burning of Xicang. The former Captain Li Zheng returned to Wang Shuai, and Captain Huan Chenyu took over Captain Ye's position. position, and Bai Quan was appointed as the deputy of the team. But actually, let me say, this is just hard to say on the surface. Now that Lieutenant Ye has become the boss of the scout battalion, then the two of you are naturally the actual second and third in command. Yes, there is no need to explain it openly."
Tang Wenzhong and the other three were not too surprised when they first heard that Ye Qingcheng was promoted to captain. Ye Qingcheng took almost all the credit for this battle. Although Wang Zhongsi covered up for him, he only burned Xicang and captured him alive. These two things, the two great chiefs of the Xi Qi Alliance, were enough for him to advance several levels in a row. What they didn't expect was that Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan didn't improve too much. They thought that these two guys who were like gods would take their place. After all, they made little effort in this battle. But in the end, these two guys only improved slightly, and I don't know if it was their own intention or Wang Shuai's intention.
"Did the messenger say anything?"
"Not yet. He just said something to Wang Shuai. Wang Shuai's face suddenly became unhappy. Moreover, according to his words, time seems to be very tight. They haven't started yet. They said they will wait until you arrive. ."
"You want to wait until I arrive before you start?" Ye Qingcheng felt a little confused. What kind of status did he have that he had such a group of senior generals of the Tang Army waiting for him. However, he could more or less guess that what the messenger was going to say should be related to the Turks, otherwise it would not be connected with his speculation just now.
