Chapter 517

Li Yuanhe nodded. Hearing this, he also guessed that Qian Laojiu must have opened the gap from the fake thief. In fact, Qian Laojiu only briefly explained the origin of the confession. Even if he presented the confession to Li Yuanhe, he said, "this boy was just a thief. How can he eat his tools of torture, he quickly called out all he knew! After receiving these confessions, my subordinates knew that the general and the Lord must be informed of such important information as soon as possible, so they sent for the general and the Lord. "

Li Yuanhe heard that Qian Laojiu had done so seriously that he immediately opened the stack of confessions and looked at it carefully. The more he saw the back, the more dignified Li Yuanhe's face became. When he saw the last page, he was already livid. Li Yuanhe immediately transferred the confession in his hand to Kong Ling, but he frowned deeply and looked down at what he was thinking.

Seeing Li Yuanhe as if he had completely changed his personality after reading the confession, Kong Ling was also surprised. After reading the confession, his face became pale. This confession is just about the reinforcements that Dachang army will arrive in a few days. Xiong Qian saw that the morale of the garrison was low because he did not go to war, so he made the matter public. In Xiong Qian's mind, on the one hand, he didn't think that the Qin army would be able to break through Yan Tiancheng, and that the soldiers of the Dachang army were all southern barbarians in Dachang, and they would not tell the Han people about the military information. However, he never thought that he had hidden a Han thief in his army and disclosed the military information which should have been confidential.

After careful consideration, Li Yuanhe raised his head and asked Qian Laojiu, "can the things on this confession be confirmed to be true?" Li Yuanhe doesn't distrust Qian Laojiu. It's really shocking. It's a hundred thousand troops! If the 20000 Qin army led by Yingzhen is in Yantian City, it may be able to resist the attack of the other side with the defense of Yantian city. But now there are only 3000 people in Tiancheng. How can we resist the attack of 100000 people?

Li Yuanhe now hoped that what this confession said was not true. However, what Qian Laojiu said next broke his hope completely. Qian Laojiu said: "I can guarantee the authenticity of this confession! After I got the confession yesterday, I also knew that this matter was very important, so I took this confession to test the nanmanzi. After seeing this confession, nanmanzi's expression changed dramatically. Although he denied that the confession was true afterwards, his subordinates could see that they were lying! "

In the end, a glimmer of hope has been lost. Li Yuanhe has to accept this fact, but Li Yuanhe is not so easy to give up. His face changed continuously, but at last he regained his usual resolute expression. He said to Qian Laojiu, "now go and gather the officers above the rank of the general of the army and come to the city to discuss matters."

"Here it is When Qian Laojiu saw Li Yuanhe's expression, he could not help admiring Li Yuanhe's will. To know that he had just confirmed the news yesterday, he almost sat on the ground in fear. And even if Li Yuanhe is also scared into that way, Qian Laojiu will not laugh at Li Yuanhe, it is the strength difference between the two sides is too big. However, he did not expect that Li Yuanhe recovered his fighting spirit so soon, and did not rush to order the withdrawal of troops. He was able to make correct command. His loyalty to Li Yuanhe was further deepened.

After Qian Laojiu left, Kong Ling on one side also recovered slowly. He frowned and read the confession again and again, and said to Li Yuanhe, "brother! I don't think it's right! no From the time we arrived at Yantian City, we felt that there was something wrong with our southern expedition! "

However, Li Yuanhe was very convinced by Kong Ling. Hearing this, he immediately recalled the whole process from the day when he reached the outside of Yantian City, and up to now. But after all, Li Yuanhe had not received any systematic study and training. He could not see any problem from it. He could only look at Kong Ling in doubt.

Kong Ling didn't mean to look down on Li Yuanhe. In fact, Kong Ling had long been in awe of the cold general who had happened to be his righteous brother. Even when he explained carefully, "I saw that the state of Dachang sent Xiong Qian, such a famous general, to guard Tiancheng! Although the vast territory of Nanchang is not strictly allowed to join the army of Dachang, we are only allowed to join the army in Nanchang! According to my original prediction, it would be wonderful if Dachang army could arrange 500 people in Tiancheng! In addition, the terrain of the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The number of garrisons should have been less! "

Listening to Kong Ling's analysis, Li Yuanhe immediately nodded and found the mystery. It is precisely because of this that Ying Zhen dared to bring 20000 people to recover the lost land, and the vanguard army given to Li Yuanhe was only 3000. That was because they had not expected so many soldiers to defend the city.

Seeing that Li Yuanhe had figured out this part, Kong Ling immediately continued: "at that time, I found that there was something wrong with this situation. It felt as if Dachang kingdom had already known that our vanguard army would come to seize the city. He specially arranged more soldiers to guard the city, and sent a famous General Xiong who was good at guarding the city to move here to guard it! It's just that I didn't have time to think about the situation at that time. Instead, I tried to seize the time to seize the city. Now there is such a thing, I feel more and more that there is a problem in it! According to the information I collected before we set out, the strength of Dachang was only 230000! Now we have mobilized nearly half of our strength to meet the troops of our southern expedition. This is not in line with the consistent military style of Dachang state! ""Second brother! What, in your opinion, is going on? " Although Li Yuanhe was slightly aware of the mystery of the incident because of Kong Ling's explanation, he still could not understand the joints. However, he was not ashamed to ask. Since he did not understand, he would ask Kong Ling in detail.

Kong Ling shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "brother! You've got a problem with me! Now I just feel that there is something wrong with it. If I could see the reason, I would have told you already! " Speaking of the latter, Kong Ling is obviously a little unwilling. After all, he is carrying the name of genius. Although he has always been very humble, he is still very proud. Up to now, there is no way to find out the reason, but it is a big blow to his self-confidence.

Seeing Kong Ling, there was no way to understand. Li Yuanhe frowned, but he was not blaming Kong Ling. On the contrary, Kong Ling, who has always been regarded as a think tank by him, has no way to see through. It can be seen that the problem he has encountered must be very serious this time. The two brothers are so low head thinking, full of more than half an hour, but still did not come up with a clue.

At this time, Qian Laojiu's voice came from outside the study: "general! adult! According to the general's command, the generals above the general have been summoned to the assembly hall in the mansion! I don't know what else to tell you

Hearing Qian Laojiu's report, Li Yuanhe took a deep breath and turned to Kong Ling, who was still thinking there, and said, "second brother! Don't think about it now! Let's go to the council chamber first and discuss with you how to deal with the present difficulties. " After Li Yuanhe finished, he turned to Qian Laojiu outside the room and said, "we'll go to the conference hall right away. You and Zhao Yong and Zhao Meng will take 50 people each. I'll guard all around the conference hall! No one is allowed to come near during our discussion! "

Qian Laojiu, who was outside the room, took his orders immediately. Kong Ling sighed after hearing Li Yuanhe's advice. He also agreed with Li Yuanhe's statement. Now what they have to face is the 100000 reinforcements from Dachang state. If they can't cope with this, then their hard work in conquering the city of performing heaven will be in vain.

Immediately, Kong Ling followed Li Yuanhe, walked out of the study and went straight to the meeting hall. But Qian Laojiu was also quick to handle affairs. He had already called on the Zhao brothers to defend outside the Council hall and drove away all the servants and maids in the city guard's house. Li Yuanhe nodded and appreciated Qian Laojiu's ability to handle affairs.

When they entered the conference hall, Xiao Yuesheng and others were sitting in a critical position. Seeing Li Yuanhe and Kong Ling coming in, all the officers stood up and saluted them. Among those officers, only Cheng Hu was promoted by Li Yuanhe because of his previous attack on Yantian city. The other officers who followed Li Yuanhe in the early days were not qualified to participate in this meeting.

As the matter was urgent, Li Yuanhe and Kong Ling were not polite to everyone. They walked quickly to the top of the conference hall and sat down. In the vanguard army, Li Yuanhe was the highest commander, and Kong Ling's post of chief Bo was only under Li Yuanhe, so there was nothing wrong with them sitting at the top. After Li Yuanhe sat down, he handed the confession he had put in his arms to Xiao Yuesheng, who was sitting on his other side, and said, "this is the confession that our army got from interrogating the prisoners of Dachang army last night! Take a close look at it

Xiao Yuesheng had dealt with the Nanman soldiers of Dachang state a few years ago. Obviously, he was a little surprised to be able to ask for the confession from the Nanman. Li Yuanhe had to tell the story about the Han thief again, which made Xiao Yuesheng and other officers suddenly realize. Xiao Yuesheng immediately opened his confession and looked at it carefully. Of course, his face was as ugly as Li Yuanhe and Kong Ling before, and his body began to shake.
