Chapter 1,276: Lu Bu's Whereabouts Revealed

Guo Jia's words made everyone in the Tang army feel uneasy. Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry would definitely not disappear for no reason. Now that most of his cavalry have disappeared, it means that something is definitely going to happen. You know, with Lu Bu's ability and the 15,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that cooperate with him, with the same strength, almost no one in the world can defeat him.

"Come here," Huangfu Chaobo solemnly ordered: "Immediately, Lu Su, Xu Shu, Ju Shou, Zaozhi and Dong Zhao will come to see you."

"Promise!" The servant on duty next to him nodded in agreement, and immediately ran out of the hall to meet a few people.

"Fengxiao, continue, are there any other abnormalities?" Huangfu Chaobo continued;

"Yes!" Guo Jia continued: "After discovering the anomaly in King Zhao's wolf cavalry, Wei Chen carefully reviewed the situation of the princes in various places in the past month or two, and discovered another abnormality."

As he spoke, Guo Jia walked to the map of the Central Plains hanging in the hall and told everyone: "As early as early March, the Qi army began to attack the border between Beihai and Donglai in Qingzhou, as well as the junction of Donghai, Langya Army and Wu State. Transporting grain and grass and gathering troops and horses, but now it is the end of April, but there are still only a few small battles between several families, and there is no sign of a major war at all. This is completely different from the wars between several families last year. It seems that they are deliberately controlling the scale of the war. The reason is puzzling.”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone in the palace fell into deep thought. Although this information seemed to have nothing to do with it, when it was all laid out, it always made people feel very strange. It made people feel that there seemed to be something special in this information. The contact is general.

"Master Guo, is there anything unusual about the Wei army?" Zhu Jun, the old captain, asked;

Guo Jia shook his head: "There is nothing abnormal in the cities adjacent to Wei County in Wei State and our country. It is just normal grain and grass transportation. According to the usual frequency, it is basically once or twice a month. From February to now, it is basically the same as before. same."

In fact, what the monarchs and ministers of the Tang State did not know was that no matter it was Wei, Zhao, or Qi and Wu, everyone knew that the Tang State's espionage organization was not simple, so the deployment of troops and horses between various countries was very cautious, and they determined the best attack. After the Tang alliance, everyone had mobilized all the elite soldiers and horses in place by various methods such as transporting grain, grass and baggage, dividing the elite soldiers and horses into dozens of groups and setting off separately, and then marching day and night.

While everyone was talking, Xu Shu and others also arrived one after another. After everyone arrived, Huangfu Chaobo asked Guo Jia to explain what happened to everyone.

"My lords, if you have any thoughts on this, please feel free to speak out."

"Your Majesty, if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by King Zhao really takes action against our country, we must find out their movements as soon as possible. There is also the army of Shangjun. If possible, please Your Majesty order General Tian Yu to complete the attack on the country as soon as possible. To clear out the remnants, at least General Hua Xiong’s Xiliang cavalry must be transferred back to Hanoi as soon as possible.” Lu Su replied after pondering for a moment;

"Yes, the strength of Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry cannot be underestimated. We need to make corresponding preparations." Xu Shu agreed;

"In addition, the king needs to order troops and horses everywhere to strengthen their vigilance to deal with possible attacks." Guo Jia added on the side.

"Is it so serious?" Huangfu Chaobo was a little stunned. Now it's just a little bit of information, so there's no need to go to war like this.

Guo Jia shook his head: "It's not that I'm being alarmist, but there is something abnormal in this information. Although I can't tell what's wrong, I have to be on guard. Besides, even if the king orders the troops everywhere to be on strict guard, if there is no Everything is happy,

If something really happens, it can prevent everyone from being caught off guard. "

When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he was right. It was better to be on guard than to be caught off guard. So he ordered Shi A to send orders to soldiers and horses everywhere, strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time explore the movements of the armies of various princes.

The discussion ended in a hurry. Due to the lack of intelligence support, there was no satisfactory result in the end. However, Huangfu Chaobo still felt a little uneasy. In the next few days, even Runan Prefect Xu Jing's He suspended all visits to Beijing to report on his work. starter

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, local state shepherds, prefects and military commanders need to go to Beijing every year to report on their duties. The report includes two parts. One is to face the three princes headed by the Prime Minister, and the other is to directly face the King of Tang. Huangfu Chaobo. Originally, Xu Jing had already completed his report to Sangong, and the next step was to report to Huangfu Chaobo, but Huangfu Chaobo had no time to worry about it now.

With the targeted collection of intelligence from all parties, the doubts in the hearts of the Tang monarchs and ministers became more and more serious. For several days, Huangfu Chaobo and Guo Jia carefully observed the intelligence coming back from various places in the side hall. , but still couldn't see anything wrong with it.

On May 30th, this day, after Huangfu Chaobo finished handling daily government affairs, he returned to the side hall again to check the intelligence received that day. Here, Shi A hurriedly asked for an audience outside. Upon seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo issued a series of orders. Its coming in.

A moment later, Shi A hurried in, saluted Huangfu Chaobo and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army is reporting urgently. One day ago, Kuchan and the others who occupied Pingji discovered that Zhao's troops once numbered tens of thousands. The national cavalry appeared in the east of Pingji City. They thought at first that the Zhao army was preparing to attack Pingji, but they found out after half a day that these cavalry did not stop, but hurried south. "

Because the Zhao cavalry did not stay in Pingji for long before leaving, Ku Shen did not pay much attention to it and told Zhang Yan about it as ordinary intelligence. Unlike other Black Mountain Army generals, Zhang Yan's vision was still very good, so he immediately found something wrong and immediately sent this information back to Luoyang through the Shadow Guard in Zhending City.

"One day ago?" Guo Jia heard this and immediately looked at the map. Pingji was about 250 to 260 miles north of Handan: "In other words, if there is no accident, Lu Bu's cavalry has arrived around Handan. It seems that Wei and Zhao are going to attack Weijun! King Zhao and his cavalry are used by the two countries to deal with General Zhao Yun."

"Ah, Shi A, warn Weijun immediately. The armies of Wei and Zhao are likely to attack Weijun in the next few days." Huangfu Chaobo was shocked.

"It's too late," Guo Jia shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, the Wei army should have been ready long ago, just waiting for the Zhao cavalry. However, no matter what, it is necessary to give a warning. Not only that, since Wei is fighting on two fronts, it has been preparing for a long time, so it is difficult to stop the attack of the two countries with only the troops of Wei County. Please order General Zhao Yun to find out the situation of the two armies at all costs, and prepare to send reinforcements."
