Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 53 Pei Xingjian’s heavy heart, something happened to them!

He led two Yaoguang teams and was responsible for intelligence investigations in Danyang County, the largest county in Jiangdong.

Every once in a while, Pei Xingjian would return to Wangshiwan.

In addition to being the main person in charge of intelligence investigation in Danyang County, he is also the commander-in-chief of the entire Yaoguang Camp.

He also needs to coordinate the overall situation.

The information obtained from investigations in other counties will be sent to Wangshiwan via carrier pigeons, and Pei Xingjian can check it directly when he returns.

Since landing in Wangshi Bay, Pei Xingjian has traveled back and forth between Danyang County and Wangshi Bay three times.

The two places are far apart and it takes a lot of time to travel on the road.

very busy.

But...it is also necessary.

in fact.

Some people also suggested that Pei Xingjian stay in Wangshiwan, or that the intelligence be sent back to Wangshiwan and the Wangshiwan garrison send a pigeon to him.

But Pei Xingjian refused.

First of all, it is easy for him to be stationed in Wangshiwan, but if he sticks to defending Wangshiwan, then... he has never seen the entire Jiangdong terrain with his own eyes, which is not conducive to any war that may be launched in the future.

The army he led was specialized in surprise attacks, so if a war broke out, they would have to move around everywhere.

Therefore,
Pei Xingjian wanted to travel all over Jiangdong more than anyone else to see where there were suitable places for ambushes and which places were not suitable for ambushes.

He wanted to see all of this with his own eyes.

Secondly, if the Shiwan defenders sent him a letter by carrier pigeon, Pei Xingjian thought that something might go wrong along the way and therefore rejected the plan.

By returning to Wangshiwan, he could get the intelligence in person and take another look at the terrain of Jiangdong. So even though it was tiring running around, Pei Xingjian thought it was worth it.

"General, these are the intelligence reports sent by the commanders of various counties over the past ten days."

Seeing Pei Xingjian coming, the Wangshiwan defenders immediately handed the letter to Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian took the letter and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He opened the letter and looked through it.

Compared with the intelligence he received ten days ago, this intelligence was more detailed, and the Yaoguang teams in each county had conducted deeper investigations into Jiangdong.

If the exploration rate of Jiangdong was about 30% ten days ago, it has risen to 50% now.

The more they get to know about various places in Jiangdong, the million-strong army led by Li Chengdao will no longer be confused about Jiangdong and can advance without any worries.

Pei Xingjian handed the letter to the Wangshiwan garrison: "Pass the letter to His Highness."

The Wangshiwan defenders nodded: "Understood."

Pei Xingjian laughed loudly: "Hahaha! My Yaoguang Camp's reconnaissance mission is almost completed. I will hand over the intelligence to Your Highness. Next...it depends on Su Dingfang and Kaiyang."

The Yaoguang Camp was responsible for gathering intelligence, and that was all it was responsible for gathering intelligence.

As for how to attack the Tang Dynasty, where to attack from, how many troops to use, etc.
It is not something that his Yaoguang Camp should consider, but something that the other generals of the seven camps should consider.

"Yes, it's not easy for our battalion to go deep behind enemy lines, especially in the Tang Dynasty."

The defenders of Wangshiwan also sighed, thought for a moment, and continued, "A few days ago, General Tianquan sent a letter via carrier pigeon, saying that a Roman had escaped. I was worried that the Tang Dynasty would send a large army here immediately."

"In the end, they sent a large army, but judging by their marching speed, it is estimated that by the time they reach Jiangdong, your Highness will have arrived as well. There is nothing to be afraid of at all."

On the border between Jiangdong and other prefectures and counties, there were some soldiers from the Yaoguang Camp who were disguised and stationed nearby, specifically to inquire about the news about the Tang army.

They learned that

Li Jing's army of tens of thousands did not march very fast, and it would take two months to reach Jiangdong. By then, His Highness would have arrived, and they would not have to face the army of tens of thousands led by the God of War alone, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Chai Shao and his Qingzhou Camp and the soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp on the border, no intelligence about them was found.

This is mainly because,
Chai Shao understood Pei Xingjian too well. He had learned tactics from Pei Xingjian in the past. He understood Pei Xingjian better than anyone else.

Although ten years have passed, Pei Xingjian's tactics and fighting methods have not changed much.

Chai Shao used the image of Pei Xingjian ten years ago to find a way to target Pei Xingjian, and he was successful.

This is for the method,
He and his Qingzhou camp all disguised themselves and entered Jiangdong. As for weapons and horses, they were disguised as dozens of caravans, which entered the Jiangdong area one after another, and then they took back the horses and equipment one after another.

They entered Jiangdong in disguise and hid from the soldiers of Yaoguang Camp on the border, so that Pei Xingjian still didn't know that Chai Shao had arrived.

"By the way, where is the information from Wujun?"

Pei Xingjian thought of the key and asked.

"Wu County?" The Wangshiwan defenders were stunned. After thinking for a moment, they said, "Is it the county that the Third Yaoguang Team, Commander Li Sizhong, is in charge of? They haven't sent a letter yet. I think they should arrive tonight, or tomorrow."

Pei Xingjian's originally calm eyes wrinkled when he heard this: "No letter yet?"

The Wangshiwan defenders nodded: "Yes, General, are you worried about them?"

Pei Xingjian did not answer, but his frown deepened.

"General, are you worried that something happened to them?"

Behind him, a deputy general came up to ask,
Pei Xingjian still did not answer, still frowning and thinking about something.

When the deputy general saw this, he immediately realized that he should not disturb the general.

He has followed Pei Xingjian for eight years, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is the person who understands Pei Xingjian best in the entire Yaoguang Camp.

"Deliver the letter."

After a while, Pei Xingjian finally spoke.

But what he said made the deputy general stunned.

"Deliver a message?"

The deputy general asked back.

Pei Xingjian nodded, his face solemn: "They must have been in trouble. The Tang army... should be here!"

"This..." The deputy general was shocked when he heard this: "The Tang army is coming? But our spies on the border didn't hear any Tang army coming."

"If the Tang army wants to defeat Li Sizhong and his team, they need at least a thousand men, and they have to be cavalry! We checked and found that there are no cavalry in Jiangdong. There have also been no cavalry of more than a thousand people entering Jiangdong from the border recently."

Pei Xingjian exhaled and said seriously: "Never think that the Tang Dynasty led by the King of Qin is so simple. He and his old ministers in the King of Qin's Palace were able to drive Your Highness out back then because of their extraordinary abilities and ruthlessness."

"Yes! Our spies haven't found out that the Tang army has entered yet, but I think that's because their eyes are numb. They trust their eyes too much and overlook some things."

The deputy general's eyes flickered: "Then... General, what you mean is..."

Pei Xingjian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Gather the whole camp and march to Wujun!"

"This mysterious Tang army can annihilate Li Sizhong and his men, so they have the ability to annihilate us. We must concentrate our forces to annihilate them and not let them defeat us one by one!"

As Li Sizhong did not reply, Pei Xingjian decided to mobilize the entire army to go on the expedition.

now,

Just as the deputy general was about to reply, a soldier from the Yaoguang Camp came running towards him at high speed.

"Wu Jun! Commander Li and his men sent a letter!"
