Guo Tu and the others couldn't sleep, so they gathered together to discuss the next step of the march. It would be difficult to return directly or take a detour without the support of the people from Pengzhou.
They thought that the Zhang family was very powerful, so the two kids they sent were also very powerful. However, they didn't know who the Zhang family sent this time were. They were the lifeblood of the Zhang Family and Wang Family. They still wanted to learn from the same teacher.
When it was almost dawn, Wang Juan ordered the troops to set off. She couldn't wait until dawn as it would be easy to be discovered.
She wasn't prepared to achieve any kind of victory immediately. If she deliberately took risks for the sake of victory, the troops would encounter unexpected situations. It was better to lower her mentality.
What she wanted to do was completely different from what Guo Tu and the others had guessed. Guo Tu and the others' biggest wish was to return. As long as they could bring 10,000 people back and kill so many Tubo people, they would be victorious.
How could Wang Juan be satisfied? She finally had the opportunity to command, and she felt sorry for herself if she didn't use it to her satisfaction. 10,000 people for her to command wasn't a small number. In the past, during the red and blue battles, she had only commanded 5,000 people at most. Of course, the 5,000 people at that time were harder to command than the 10,000 people now.
The opponents were also not comparable to the current Tatatu. When there was a satellite signal connection, the experts could make full use of every flashing symbol on the soldiers.
She could be one of the top few in her school, but when it came to a battle with a really powerful instructor, she was nothing. She didn't know what those people were thinking. Although she had always been praised as a genius, she knew that being a genius was useless. In a real battle, would the opponent send a 20-year-old opponent to you just because you were 20 years old?
Now, she could finally combine the knowledge she learned in the past with the things she knew now. She wanted to see what could be done with 10,000 people.
Wang Juan's troops carried the wounded and continued to march. She needed to catch up with the 2,000 people in front of her and cooperate with the people from the logistics camp before she could continue to make other arrangements. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to fight Tatatu's 10,000 people head-on. Even if she could, she wouldn't do it. That was equivalent to sacrificing 800 of her own men to kill 1,000 of the enemy.

Tatatu woke up after a night's sleep. Before he went to sleep, he was also thinking about what the Tang army was going to do and what their next step would be. He couldn't figure it out even after he fell asleep. He even had a dream that his team was surrounded by the Tang army.
The commander was an old man. He looked good when he smiled, but when he killed his own people, he showed no mercy at all. In fact, he was awakened by the scene in his dream.
He opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw that it was dawn, he let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't so scared anymore. His clothes were wet from the cold sweat he had gotten from the night before. It was very uncomfortable.
After hurriedly eating something, he suddenly felt very relaxed. Six thousand people had been dealt with, so even if he went back, he should not be punished. The other party was indeed powerful, and was not someone he could compare to.
"General, what else do we need to do?" After serving Tatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatat
Tatatu frowned. He didn't know what to do. It was obvious that the main force of the Tang army was not here. Should he lead his men to chase after the two thousand Tang soldiers? Not to mention whether they could catch up with them, even if they were lucky enough to catch up with them, they would have rested enough. His men were tired from the journey. If they rushed over and killed all two thousand of them, he would lose at least four thousand men.
He didn't know what the Tang army's clairvoyance was. It seemed that they could always find his men in advance and then set up a trap. He had interrogated the Tang soldiers who were escorting the provisions, but the general did not manage to catch them and committed suicide. In the end, he got a piece of news, that was, the general of the Tang army and above had something called clairvoyance.
What was a clairvoyance? From the broken thing at the feet of the Tang army's battalion commander, he knew that there was such a thing. However, he didn't know how it could be seen so far away. He thought that there was no place to sell it even if he wanted to. How could he let people from other countries know about it?
The clairvoyance was also made by the Zhang family. Zhang family, Zhang family. Damn it, why did the Zhang family of Sanshui County always make trouble?
"General, General!?" The messenger saw that the general didn't speak for a long time, so he asked again.
Tatatu trembled and came out of his thoughts. He thought for a while and said, "Let the troops continue to move forward. Don't worry. Send out the scouts. Yes, scouts. We can only use the method of sacrificing scouts to avoid the ambush of the main force of the Tang army. Tell the scouts to go as far away as possible from today onwards.
They must come back every two hours. Otherwise, they will be ambushed. Hurry up and go. Sigh! If we send out scouts like this, we will suffer a great loss. As long as we encounter the Tang army, we may not be discovered and kill them. When the troops discover the situation, they will run away again. Let's wait and see. We will decide when the time comes. "
Tatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatat
*****
Tatatu couldn't stop, let alone go back. He could only follow the traces left by the 2,000 people. No matter what, he was still chasing after them.
He was worried that he would be ambushed. After following the traces left by the troops in front of him for two days, he found more traces. There were at least 15,000 people.
This discovery made him worried. From the direction, the other party seemed to be heading north. The desert was in the north. What were they going to do there? 15,000 people. He had 13,000 people. No, he couldn't go up alone.
Tatatu thought carefully and asked someone to tell the other troops about this. At this time, he was traveling at the foot of the mountain. This was the trace left behind. He hoped that someone else would go and find it first.
In the end, he waited for another three days. The cavalry had already circled the mountain a few times, but they didn't find anyone. The other troops wanted Tatatu to go back to the mountain. They suspected that the Tang army had entered the mountain again.
Tatatu had no choice but to ask for help. He borrowed 5,000 people. He only dared to go up the mountain when he had 18,000 people.
*****
A lot of things could happen in five days. The troops led by Wang Juan met up with the logistics camp and the two thousand people who had left first. They changed their direction slightly, but in general, they continued to head north into the desert.
Wang Juan wanted to lure the Tubo people there. She had already prepared everything. In fact, it was Xiao Bao who prepared everything. Zhang Xiaobao couldn't command a large-scale war, but he knew what the army usually needed when it came to strategizing. In order to support Wang Juan, he found everything.
Wang Juan really wanted to set up a trap to lure Tatatu's troops into it. However, she was worried that the Tubo cavalry would react too quickly. She could only bear with it and wait for an opportunity.
In these five days, the spies of the Tang Empire had gathered a lot of information and sent it to Pengzhou. The thing that made them the happiest was that Guo Tu's main force had met up with the logistics camp in Yizhou. From the enemy's information, they found out that the logistics camp in Yizhou had the command of the army now.
The officials in Pengzhou were very surprised. The information in the information was written from the perspective of the Tubo people. It was about how the troops were arranged and how the troops were defeated one after another.
The Tubo people were still guessing whether the Tang army had sent out a large number of troops to avoid the spies and come here.
However, the officials in Pengzhou were very clear. A total of 16,000 people went out. How could they kill 13,000 Tubo people? This was done when the provisions of the vanguard troops were intercepted and the 3,000 people were captured, killed, and scattered.
The officials in Pengzhou knew about this. The servants left behind by the Zhang Family and the Wang Family also quickly sent the news back to Yizhou.
Zhang Zhong had already achieved good results. With the cooperation of the people and the support of Old Man Pi and the others, as long as they stayed here for a few more months, they would be able to change Yizhou.
While he was happy, Zhang Zhong couldn't help but worry about his son and daughter-in-law. Swords and spears had no eyes. Even if one of them was missing, it would be an unbearable blow to his life.
Old Man Pi and the other two were also very irritated. Last night, the military station in the capital sent an urgent message, asking them to bring Xiao Bao and Cuckoo back safely no matter what.
That's right, the imperial decree directly wrote the words' Xiao Bao and Cuckoo '. It seemed very intimate. With Gao Lishi's handwriting and the Emperor's seal, it could be seen what kind of attitude the capital had towards the two little fellows.
Old Man Pi and the other two were worried and worried. Where did they go? There wasn't even any news. Could it be that they were all wiped out? How were they going to live without the two little fellows in the future?
Just as everyone was worried, the news from Pengzhou came. The handwriting on it was very ugly. It should have been written in a hurry. After carefully reading it, Zhang Zhong's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He continued to busy himself with the people's affairs. He was finally relieved.
His son and daughter-in-law were indeed outstanding. En, immortals were immortals after all. Wasn't it easy to deal with mortals? So what if there were 15,000 people? So what if they were defeated? As long as immortals took over, it would immediately be different. What was the point of dealing with 13,000 Tubo warriors? It was acceptable to deal with even more.
Old Man Pi and the other two didn't know whether they were immortals or not. They read the news from Pengzhou from beginning to end. They rubbed their eyes and read it twice in succession. After confirming that they didn't see wrong, the three old men stared at each other speechlessly.
"Yizhou's logistics camp is now famous. There seems to only be Xiao Bao and Cuckoo there, right? From Zhang Zhong's actions, the experts of the Zhang family should be in Yizhou. After all, the economic construction here is closely linked. Could it be that Xiao Bao and Cuckoo were the ones commanding the army in battle? "
Old Man Chang pinched himself. After confirming that he wasn't dreaming, he said to Old Man Pi and Old Man Yao.
Old Man Pi nodded. "The logistics camp rushed over to provide support. Then the Tang army's tactics changed. With the remnants of the army, they continuously launched sneak attacks and ambushes. They eliminated more than 13,000 Tubo warriors. How did they fight this battle?"
"If it's really like this, then the ones commanding at the front are Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. Then we have to treat them differently. Could it be that the experts of the Zhang family even know how to fight this kind of battle? They taught these two children? "
Old Man Yao touched his slightly numb face due to excitement and said.
