Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty - Vol 2 Chapter 2162

“General! The confessions of Xuan Ye, Tianying, Scorpio, and Mu Jiao do not conflict with Zhao Deyan’s confession, but they know slightly less information than Zhao Deyan!

With reference to the confessions of these people and the casualties counted by the government, it can basically be confirmed that the 208 wolf guards that Zhao Deyan brought this time have been wiped out by us!

Eighty-two of them were captured alive, and one hundred and twenty-six were beheaded or seriously injured in previous battles! In Taiyuan City, there should be no fish that slip through the net! ”

More than an hour later, Li Junxian, Zhao Kang and several other hundred horsemen met in the prison cell near the entrance of the prison. After everyone communicated with each other, Zhao Kang bowed to Li Junxian and clasped his fists.

Previously, when Li Junxian was interrogating Zhao Deyan, none of them were idle. They interrogated Xuan Ye, Tianying, Tian Xie, and Mu Jiao in separate cells in order to communicate with Zhao Deyan’s confession. Check to see if Zhao Deyan lied!

Li Junxian was very satisfied with the final result. Although he was not sure that Zhao Deyan told him the truth 100%, he was still 80% sure. It was caught in one net, and no fish slipped through the net!

However, some information revealed in Zhao Deyan’s confession made Li Junxian a little surprised!

“In the Taiyuan Rebellion, both the first offender and the accomplice have been arrested or executed, and it’s time for reckoning!”

Li Junxian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he rescued Li Tai, which really made him relieved, but this matter is not as simple as it seems, and the matter is far from over, he ordered in a deep voice:

“First of all, Wang Kui and Wang Xinyuan of the Wang family must be caught. Taiyuan City has been closed for the past few days. It is impossible for the two of them to leave the city. When the city gate is opened tomorrow, they will definitely try their best to leave the city. The person’s portrait was rubbed overnight and distributed to the guards at the city gate. Tomorrow, be sure to pay attention to the people who leave the city, to prevent the two of them from taking the opportunity to escape! I will go to the post house in a while, borrow the telegraph from the academy, and send back the results of the interrogation. Chang’an, wait for His Majesty’s next order!”

“Subordinates obey!”

Several people bowed to take orders, and seeing that Li Junxian had no other orders, they turned and left.

Li Junxian didn’t stop there. He put away the stack of confessions on the table and left the state prison. After instructing the general of the night watchman, Haosheng, to guard him outside the cell, he ran straight to the post house!

Regarding the information that Zhao Deyan had confessed, he did not intend to inform the Yu Taiyuan government, so he did not go to see Wang Liaoyuan, but directly planned to send it back to Chang’an by telegraph!

“It seems that Baiqisi must also start training a group of professionals who know how to use telegraphs!”

Li Junxian muttered to himself as he ran his horse on the streets of Taiyuan City.

In other words, if there is a telegraph on his own side, and if there are relevant talents who can use a telegraph, he will never go to the post house to borrow the telegraph of the academy and ask Tie Dan to help send the telegram. At this time, he has realized the confidentiality. Problem!

It’s not that he can’t trust the iron egg, but that the secret report he will send to Chang’an involves a lot of confidential information. It is not advisable to know too many people, as it will increase the risk of leakage!

If you want to know how to transmit news in this way, first of all, Tiedan at Yanhuang Academy must know what he is about to send, and then the little **** who is in charge of guarding the telegraph in the Chang’an Palace Qin Tianjian must also know. , the risk of information leakage is too great!

Previously, Li Junxian borrowed the telegraph from the academy to transmit some non-confidential information to Chang’an. At that time, he didn’t think there was any problem with this method of transmission, but he found it very convenient and fast, but he thought that he would send Chang’an to Chang’an next. Li Junxian felt that something was wrong with the news delivered by the city.

He had only enjoyed the convenience and speed of the telegraph before, but he had not yet felt the advantages of the confidentiality of the telegraph!

Riding on a horse at the moment, he was thinking about training a group of Baiqi who could use telegraphs after returning to Chang’an, and he was thinking about whether to send a telegram to Chang’an later, or not to hide some key information first, after all, this matter There are a lot of people involved!

“Drive! Drive!”

Thinking about things in his heart, it did not affect Li Junxian manipulating the war horse to rush towards the inn. Before reaching the inn, he had already made up his mind – training Baiqi to learn to use the telegraph must be done. , The next information to be transmitted, the key information cannot be transmitted through the telegraph machine, it has to be expedited by 800 miles and presented to Li Secondhand through the special channel of Baiqi!

More than an hour ago, when Li Junxian and others were attacking the Tongfu Inn, in the northern part of Yunzhou, the frontier army camped.

“Report!”

“General Qi, a group of men and horses appeared five miles away from the northern grasslands and came straight to our department! The intention of the other party’s arrival is unknown, and the number of people is about 10,000. Are you ready to fight?”

Inside the central army tent, a soldier quickly trotted in from outside the tent, and bowed to the black-faced general who was standing at the top looking at the map.

Hearing this, the rest of the soldiers in the tent couldn’t help being shocked, because after all, they were only the “outposts” of the Tang army, to prevent the Turkic troops from sneaking into the Tang Dynasty, and they did not station heavy troops. It’s hard to say who wins and who loses!

There is a high probability that they cannot be beaten! Because the combat effectiveness of the Turkic army is not covered!

“Ten thousand horses? Come straight to us?”

There was no panic on the face of the black-faced general. He turned around calmly, looked at the soldier who sent the letter and asked, “How’s the other party’s speed? Is it heavy?”

This black-faced general is Li Jing’s eldest disciple, Su Dingfang! Today’s guerrilla general in Yunzhou!

The soldier who sent the letter hurriedly replied: “The opponent is extremely fast, it’s a light cavalry, and it doesn’t look like it has a lot of weight!”

Su Dingfang frowned, then nodded and said, “I see!”

Immediately, he rushed to several generals in the tent and shouted: “Wang Yun, Ding He, Cao Shan, you guys will go outside the Yuanmen with this general to see what the other party is about!”

A middle-aged general on the left-hand side of Su Dingfang couldn’t help but said: “General Su, the enemy is attacking in a big way, shouldn’t I immediately call the whole army to prepare to fight?”

Su Dingfang walked down, smiled and said:

“Wang Canjun, you should go with the general to see first! But you still have to call the battalion soldiers to be on guard. The other party should not come to fight, but maybe there will be a fight tonight!”

Wang Yun, Ding He, Cao Shan and others were confused by Su Dingfang’s self-contradictory words, but seeing that Su Dingfang didn’t want to explain, they headed out of the tent, and they hurriedly followed, of course, Some people also went to the camp to order the soldiers to gather.

“General Su, how can you be sure that the other party is not here to fight us? Now that the enemy and me are unknown, the subordinates feel that they should send someone to ask for help from the rear to prevent the other party from being a wolf cavalry sent by the grasslands to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty!”

After leaving the camp, Wang Yun quickly caught up with Su Dingfang and persuaded him.

Previously, Wang Liaoyuan, the prefect of Bingzhou, sent 800 li urgently to pass on Li Ersheng’s decree, ordering the troops and horses of the northern border states to take strict precautions to prevent the Turkic wolf cavalry from secretly sneaking into the Tang Dynasty. The frontier army camp where Su Dingfang was located also received it. This letter, however, was handed over by someone from the Governor of Yunzhou.

It is on this basis that Wang Yun suspects that the group of men and horses coming in front of him is a Turkic wolf rider sent by Jie Li to sneak into the Tang Dynasty!

If this is the case, their frontier army of less than 10,000 is not an opponent of 10,000 wolf riders, and they need to ask for help from the Zhechong House base camp in Yunzhou!

Su Dingfang said as he walked: “Wang Shenjun, if the other party sent the wolf riders to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty, do you think they would come straight to our camp so openly?”

With just such a sentence, Wang Yun was immediately stopped.

Just listen to Su Dingfang continue: “The other party can’t be the wolf cavalry sent by Jie Li to sneak into the Tang Dynasty secretly, and it can’t be the army that came to harass the border and fight the autumn wind, because it is about to get dark at the moment, for the cavalry, the night battle attack is extremely difficult. Wise, so I would have guessed that the other party is not a bad person!”

After a pause, Su Dingfang added: “Of course, this is just this general’s guess. What the specific situation is, we still need to see it with my own eyes! The other party is still five miles away from us~www.mtlnovel.com~ even if we find out. No, we have time to prepare!”

While they were talking, the two had already boarded the turret on the north side of the camp. Su Dingfang stretched out his hand.

This was brought by Su Dingfang from Chang’an. This thing is extremely precious. Only some high-level generals in the Tang Dynasty are equipped with a pair. According to the position level, it is impossible for Su Dingfang to have this pair. He was ordered to go north and lent it to him before he left, but Su Dingfang was also a treasure.

After taking the military telescope, Su Dingfang didn’t hesitate to put it in front of him and looked towards the prairie to the north.

At this time, the sun had set, and the sky was between dark and dark. From the telescope, Su Dingfang saw a group of men and horses rushing towards this side at full speed. Because the speed was too fast, the grass and smoke were rolled up all over the place. , and the cavalry team is also a little scattered!

Through the binoculars, he could even see some of the cavalry in the team who were manipulating the horses and couldn’t help but look back. Moreover, the team really didn’t carry any weight, and some of them didn’t even have weapons on them!

How is this like coming to fight? I’m afraid you’re not here to escape, are you?

Su Dingfang couldn’t help but murmured, but Wang Yun was in a hurry. He wanted to grab the military telescope in Su Dingfang’s hand and check it out for himself. He had only heard of the function, but he had never used it himself. At this time, he couldn’t help but ask: “General Su, what’s the matter? What is the origin of the other party? Do you want your subordinates to summon the soldiers to prepare for the battle?”

“No! The other party is indeed not the one who came to fight. There must be something wrong on the grassland!”

Su Dingfang put down the telescope, hesitated for a moment, and said.
