Seeing Changsun rushing out of the military tent, Yang Fan was a little confused!
If Chang Sun Chong is a spy, but this guy has been in Songzhou City for so long but has no reaction to Songtsan Gampo, it stands to reason that he should look for opportunities to warn or silence him.
If Changsun Chong was not a spy, his face turned pale and he became panicked due to his own temptation just now. He was obviously guilty.
Two completely different reactions appeared in Changsun Chong at the same time, which seemed full of contradictions.
But the goal has been achieved, Yang Fan will not think about it anymore.
Once direct evidence is found to prove that Chang Sun Chong is a spy, there will definitely be no mercy.
On the other hand, Changsun Chong, after a brief preparation and salute, left Songzhou City with his troops without stopping.
Changsun Chong was not a stupid person, and Yang Fan's recent tests were obviously aimed at him.
In addition to rushing to the Chinese army as soon as possible to persuade Hou Junji, Changsun Chong also needed to go to Duan Zan to verify something.
******
Near Qixing Canyon.
The moon and stars are sparse, and the mountains are rolling up and down, just like the waves of the sea, showing dense peaks and valleys.
The Chinese army led by Hou Junji has been fighting against the Tibetan army of Gar Qinling Zanzhuo for more than a month. The two armies have won and lost each other, but they can't do anything to either one.
So Hou Jun gathered the right army led by Zhi Huan Si Li to station in the northwest corner, and the left army led by Liu Lan stationed in the northeast corner. He personally led the left guard army to sit in the rear, and the three armies formed the horns of each other and took a defensive position. .
Hou Junji wanted to use this to bring down the Tibetan army.
The Zuo Wei Army was stationed in a relatively flat area among the mountains, with abundant water resources and surrounded by mountains. The only accessible place was a road between the two mountains.
Because of the high altitude and the large temperature difference between day and night, Duan Zan changed into a thick robe and armor, and was leading a group of soldiers on patrol!
At this moment, there was intensive sound of hoofbeats in the distance, and a group of knights came galloping towards them.
After a while, the men and horses came to a stop not far away.
Although the moonlight continued to sway, it was night after all, so it was not very clear.
Duan Zan was so angry that he shouted in a deep voice: "Who is coming? Is there a passing order?"
"Inspector Chang Sun Chong asks to see the commander..." A voice came from afar, echoing in the silent mountains.
Duan Zan was quite surprised. He lifted the reins and came to the group of people.
Looking at the tired Changsun Chong and his party, Duan Zan chuckled and said: "It turns out to be the inspector! Thank you for your hard work. I wonder why Yin Ye asked to see the commander for something important? Now that the commander has gone to bed, why not go to the camp temporarily? How about taking a rest and asking to see you tomorrow?"
At this time, Changsun Chong looked tired. He did not immediately reply to Duan Zan's overtures and stared at him coldly.
Just as Changsun Chong wanted to confirm what he was thinking, he looked at Duan Zan for a while with a gloomy face, then nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Captain Duan!"
As soon as they entered the barracks and the soldiers retreated, Duan Zan impatiently inquired: "Is it true that Songtsen Gampo, the consort of the eldest grandson, was captured alive?"
"It seems that Colonel Duan is very concerned about Songtsen Gampo?" Changsun Chong did not answer directly, but instead meant something.
Duan Zan smiled awkwardly: "I just care about Yang Fan. Isn't he our common enemy? As long as that kid dares to lie about his military exploits, he will definitely suffer a lot."
Changsun Chong stared at Duan Zan for a while and then said: "You may disappoint Captain Duan. Not only was Songtsan Gampo captured alive, but he also revealed the story of a Tang Army spy. I wonder what Captain Duan thinks of this?"
Duan Zan's expression changed in shock, but he pretended to be calm: "There is really a spy in the Tang army? Have you found out who it is?"
Seeing Duan Zan's hypocritical look, Changsun Chong's face became solemn and he shouted loudly: "I just want to ask, was it you who revealed the forward battalion's combat plan to Tubo?"
Seeing that Duan Zan wanted to defend himself, Changsun Chong waved his hand to interrupt, and then said: "You don't have to rush to defend yourself. The only people in the entire Chinese army who know the forward battalion's battle plan are the commander-in-chief, the prince and me;"
"Of course the Marshal and His Highness the Crown Prince cannot be spies, and I have not betrayed any information. The only possibility is you."
"When you invited me to deal with Marquis Zhongyi together, you once inquired about the battle plan of the forward battalion while drunk. I vaguely remembered telling you that while drunk, although I asked you about it later, you denied it. Now Looking back, there couldn’t have been anyone else but you.”
After hearing Chang Sun Chong's analysis, Duan Zan was a little panicked at first, but then he gradually became calm. In the end, Duan Zan spread his hands, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
"Since the eldest son-in-law has guessed it, I will no longer deny it. Yes, it is the information I disclosed to the Tibetan people."
"As expected, it was you who actually betrayed the interests of Tang Dynasty for personal gain. You deserve to be damned. I will make you plead guilty and punished!" Changsun Chong shouted sharply, his eyes turning red.
Being plotted by Duan Zan, Changsun Chong had been on tenterhooks for so long, but he didn't expect that things would actually turn out as he thought.
Duan Zan was not afraid at all, but instead smiled with a hint of fooling: "The eldest son-in-law is really majestic, Duan admires him, but you should think about yourself first!"
"What do you mean?" Changsun Chong couldn't help but be stunned, a little confused.
Duan Zan was not afraid at all when he was discovered, which surprised Changsun Chong.
Duan Zan laughed, deliberately pretending to be sincere and frightened, and said: "Please forgive me for your sins. When I conveyed the news to Tibet, Duan felt that his name was not loud enough, so he used the name of his eldest grandson, Prince Consort."
"The prince-in-law is attached to the horse, and the name is clear. The Tubo people will believe it without having to show up in person!"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong was shocked and turned pale. He glared at Duan Zan and yelled: "Shuzi is so hateful. You dare to pretend to be me? Are you afraid that I will poke him out now?"
Duan Zan glanced sideways at Changsun Chong and said tepidly: "Can Changsun's consort really know how to do it? I, the Duan family, are from a humble background, and I have a humble life anyway. Don't let this matter delay Changsun's consort's great future."
Changsun Chong stared at Duan Zan, wishing he could drink his blood and eat his flesh, but he did not dare to make any move.
Duan Zan is so shameless!
But what he said made sense. Who told the information to come from his own mouth?
No wonder Duan Zan was still emboldened after being discovered by him. He obviously knew that he would not expose it and wanted to take the blame for him!
Changsun Chong's teeth started to itch when he thought of this.
Looking at the uncertain Changsun Chong, a trace of contempt flashed in Duan Zan's eyes.
He is the number one among the young generation in Chang'an. He is just a name in vain, and he is not toying with him.
But this guy still has great uses, so we can't waste resources. Thinking of this, Duan Zan smiled slightly: "Since the consort will not pursue it, Duan has an immature idea. I wonder if the consort wants to hear it!"
"Oh?" Changsun Chong, who was in a panic, was obviously a little moved.
Duan Zan was secretly happy, it seemed that the fish was about to take the bait: "God knows that you know and I know about this matter. As long as the consort can save Songtsan Gampo's life, I don't think he will betray us."
Changsun Chong remained silent, weighing the pros and cons secretly in his heart. Once he followed Duan Zan's words, he would definitely fall deeper and deeper into trouble.
