Some of the generals had already retreated from the front lines and were discussing the battle in the Gobi. Even they were not aware of this before this.
Some people also realized Xu Xianchu had disappeared. However, with nearly 100,000 troops marching in the sky and Zhang Jinglin dispatching a dozen troops to set up a diversion, no one thought too much about it.
It wasn't until today that they found out Xu Xianchu had gone to the Northwest Gobi!
At this moment, Wang Fengyuan entered the cafeteria with a bowl of rice. The manager of the cafeteria, Lin Yuze, asked happily as he served him, "How was my acting?"
"Perfect." Wang Fengyuan laughed. "The commander said that you'll be credited for capturing Li Xiang this time."
"Hehe, that kid sneakily asked me about the commander's appetite, so I took note of it." Lin Yuze scooped a big spoonful of meat for Wang Fengyuan. "But it's all thanks to your follow-up technical measures. Otherwise, we would only be suspecting him."
"You don't have to be humble." Wang Fengyuan shook his head. "After all, he was the one who acted strangely. That's why we knew who to target."
At this moment, a large group of generals surrounded Wang Fengyuan. "You must have known about the commander's plan from the beginning. Why did you keep your mouths shut? You didn't tell us anything at all."
Wang Fengyuan snapped, "Who knows if you're spies? I still suspect that there are spies among you. "
The generals around him were disgusted for a long time. However, they knew Wang Fengyuan's habit of speaking, so they did not argue with him anymore.
When Wang Fengyuan was purging the internal spies, he was ruthless and did not acknowledge anyone. He was only responsible for everything to Zhang Jinglin.
Even when he was at Fortress 178, he lived in seclusion and did not touch a drop of alcohol. Wang Fengyuan used to have a wife, but she overheard him talking in his sleep one night. Wang Fengyuan was a ruthless person, so he separated from his wife and only visited their child occasionally during the day.
At that time, Wang Fengyuan's child had just been born. Every time he visited, the child would address him as uncle. However, no matter how bitter Wang Fengyuan felt, he did not say anything. Just like that, he lived alone for more than a decade.
Occasionally, his subordinates would see Wang Fengyuan smoking alone outside his office. They always felt Wang Fengyuan was hiding too many things.
Next to him, Chai Zhilong, who was in charge of an infantry brigade, asked, "Fengyuan, this matter is no longer a secret. Can you tell us what happened? Previously, the commander didn't eat for two days, and we were so worried. "
Wang Fengyuan looked at them with a half-smile. "It doesn't matter if I tell you now. Since the commander has given the order, you can say it."
At this time, it was a good way to boost morale. When someone heard Wang Fengyuan say this, he got excited. "Tell us, did the commander really starve for two days? Didn't he ask Lin Yuze to secretly give him special treatment?"
Wang Fengyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't expected this group of people to be concerned about this matter. He said, "Who said that the commander can't eat when he's in trouble?"
The generals looked at each other. "Isn't that so?"
Wang Fengyuan smiled but did not say anything. The other generals suddenly realized that this rumor was actually a "button". For example, when playing cards with Golden Flowers, you let the other party know that you have a habit of touching your nose when you are bluffing. Then, when you are about to deliver a fatal blow, that habit of touching your nose can make the other party fall into your trap.
Of course, this was also the simplest example. Meanwhile, the rumor that Zhang Jinglin would lose his appetite when he was in trouble had been circulating in the stronghold for almost 20 years. Why did they only realize it was fake today?
Wang Fengyuan said, "It's true that the commander will smoke more than two packs of cigarettes a day when he's really in trouble."
However, Chai Zhilong, who was narrating the story, pointed at Wang Fengyuan and scolded the people next to him jokingly, "Are you fucking trying to button us again? When I was an orderly for the commander, he could smoke two packs of cigarettes if he was in a good mood!"
Wang Fengyuan raised his eyebrows. "If you reveal the commander's daily habits without permission, you'll be punished with 3,000 words."
Chai Zhilong's expression immediately changed. "I didn't say anything just now."
Wang Fengyuan ignored him. Discipline was discipline.
Chai Zhilong immediately looked like he was about to cry.
At this moment, someone gloated and patted Chai Zhilong on the shoulder. Then he turned to Wang Fengyuan and asked, "Then tell us, how did the commander discover that the Soong Clan wanted to cross the Gobi? Didn't the commander stay outside for more than a decade? How long has it been since he came back? Besides, no one from Fortress 178 mentioned this before. "
Wang Fengyuan sneered and said, "This plan was given to the Soong Clan by the commander a few years ago. It wasn't until the Soong Clan started provoking us frequently that the commander guessed that the Soong Clan's forward operating base had already been built. That's why he came back."
The commanders were enlightened. It looked like the commander had not been idle outside either. Everyone looked at Wang Fengyuan again. So after the commander secretly left Fortress 178, he must have kept in touch with him. However, Wang Fengyuan was too tight-lipped, so no one else knew about it.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at hiding things even though you're not good at intelligence work," Chai Zhilong muttered.
But Chai Zhilong was stunned. Wait a minute, Wang Fengyuan had been in charge of the intelligence agency for more than a decade. Wang Fengyuan spent all his time lamenting about how difficult it was to gather intelligence. It was only in recent years that there had been some progress, but no one knew what the progress was.
Everyone always joked about Wang Fengyuan in private, saying the intelligence agency was a retirement place for Fortress 178.
But from the looks of it today, Wang Fengyuan and Commander Zhang were both scheming something. If Wang Fengyuan was not good enough, shouldn't Commander Zhang have replaced him a long time ago?
How could Commander Zhang be careless when it came to his work?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Wang Fengyuan in a different light.
So even the Soong Clan's plan to cross the Gobi was given to the Soong Clan by Zhang Jinglin? Could it be that Commander Zhang had wanted to wipe out the Soong Clan a long time ago?
But wasn't Commander Zhang not back to Fortress 178 at that time? Was Wang Fengyuan the mastermind behind all of this?
"When did this happen?" someone asked.
Wang Fengyuan recalled and said, "I can't remember."
The commanders next to him curled their lips. 'As if you can't remember! Like hell we'll believe you!'
But at this moment, a commander raised a new question. "Then Fengyuan, you must've known about Ren Xiaosu for a long time, right? Tell us more about it. "
Wang Fengyuan thought for a moment. "I can't tell you yet."
"Because he's not out of danger yet? I heard he went to Stronghold 146 by himself. Is that true? "Chai Zhilong asked.
"It's true." Wang Fengyuan did not hide this matter. After all, the Soong Clan also knew about it.
When Chai Zhilong heard that, he muttered, "That kid is really something. He even dared to go to Stronghold 146 by himself? Then what's he doing now? Did you get the intelligence agents in the North to assist him? "
Wang Fengyuan shook his head. "I can't say."
At this moment, everything that needed to be said had been said. There was nothing left that could be said. The commanders around Wang Fengyuan dispersed one by one. They also needed to rest and reorganize as soon as possible. They were still needed on the battlefield in the North. After all, even though they were about to win today, they had yet to take down any of the Soong Clan strongholds.
