When Feng Li found Li Jing day and night, he was holding a military meeting to discuss the next move.

For Feng Li's arrival, everyone seemed a little baffled.

"But what's wrong with Yunzhou?" Li Jing helped Feng Li, who was a little weak, to sit down, looked at him with concern and asked.

Logically speaking, if something goes wrong in Yunzhou, Li Ji should report it to the court immediately. How could he let his confidant travel day and night to find him?
The generals who were present also looked at him with great concern. This time they and Yu Chigong sent troops in two ways to ensure the safety of Chang'an.

If something goes wrong in Yunzhou, the Turkic army can drive straight in, and all their efforts will be in vain.

Maybe they will be flanked back and forth by the Turks, and the consequences will be unimaginable!
"General, according to General Li's order, the general must personally deliver this letter to the general!" Feng Li took out a letter from his pocket with great solemnity, and put it in Li Jing's hands.

Of course he knew what was in it, which was far more important than the safety of Yunzhou.

Li Jing and the other generals looked at each other, and their expressions became serious. He knew Li Ji's character very well, and the other party would never do this unless it was something very important.

then.

He read the contents of the letter as quickly as possible, his eyes flickered coldly, and even the right hand holding the letter couldn't help but clenched.

"What's the matter, General?" A general stood up with a puzzled expression.

"General Li Ji said in this letter that all our whereabouts and strategies have been mastered by the Turkic people. If we continue, we are very likely to fall into the enemy's encirclement!"

"The best way now is to stand still or withdraw the troops. The overall action plan has been cancelled!" Li Jing took a deep breath and said truthfully while holding the letter.

There is silence in the big tent...

Many generals couldn't believe their ears, even Li Jing. The impact of this news on them was too great!
To know.

The plan for this march was personally formulated by them and His Majesty the Emperor. Since its implementation, only a small number of senior generals have known about it.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for such top-secret news to reach the ears of the Turkic people, unless there are traitors among them!

Compared to this possibility, Li Jing is more willing to believe that this is just a rumor!

joke.

To reach their level, if they are all traitors, the problem is more serious than leaking.

"General, the news about this march is only known to a few of us. How could the news leak out and let the Turks know?"

"That's right! This is too presumptuous. Isn't it equivalent to saying that some of us are traitors? If this matter becomes serious, the consequences will be unimaginable. General, please be careful!"

"The most important thing is that the army has already marched more than halfway. If the march is stopped rashly, or the news is leaked, once the morale of the army is shaken, the whole plan will be damaged!"

All the generals opened their mouths to express their objections. Leaving aside the truth of this matter, we must not let the news spread. It is a big taboo to shake the morale of the army!

And Li Jing didn't just think about these!
The news of the departure of the army must have been noticed by the Turkic people. If they withdraw their troops hastily at this time, if they are bitten by the other party, not only the entire army will be in danger, but the safety of Datang will also be threatened.

Li Jing walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, his mind was full of thoughts, he believed that Li Ji would never pass this kind of news easily.

With the heavy responsibility of guarding the border, he should also know the risks involved.

After a moment of silence, Li Jing suddenly turned his head to look at Feng Li who came to deliver the letter, "How did General Li get this news? Why does he believe in the authenticity of the news so much?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were on Feng Li.

"The general didn't disclose the source of the news, and he probably didn't know very well. The person who sent the news was a businessman, probably from inside Turkic!"

"These are just the general's guesses, the specific situation should only be known to General Li!" Feng Li thought about it carefully, and said truthfully.

When going here, Li Ji had told him that no matter what questions Li Jing had, he could answer them truthfully, and this was indeed true.

"Inside the Turks?" Li Jing frowned deeply.

Regarding Turkic military operations, generals of his level are very clear. If the imperial court has placed spies inside Turkic, they will definitely get relevant information.

But so far, neither he nor Cheng Yaojin and others have received any relevant information, and it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to cover up such an important matter.

So the question is, who planted spies inside the Turks?

"By the way, there is another thing that should be regarded as evidence. Before the final general set off, the Turkic general Truus suddenly led an army of tens of thousands to attack the city!"

"For so long, the Turkic people have never had such a big military operation. According to General Li's guess, their actions should be to counter our actions!"

"One is to divert attention and relax our vigilance, and the other is to ensure that no troops from Yunzhou will leave to prevent the main force from being supported!" Feng Li suddenly thought of something, and said quickly.

Hearing this news, Li Jing frowned even tighter. He also knew the situation in Yunzhou very well. Logically speaking, the Turkic people would not attack rashly.

after all.

Yunzhou City was extremely strong, and it was impossible to break through it in a short period of time. Judging from the signs that Feng Li was able to leave easily, their attack should not be complete.

From this point of view, Li Ji's analysis is really reasonable, although it is not yet known who arranged the spies hidden in the Turkic interior.

But Li Jing chose to trust the news sent by Li Ji!
only.

The worries of the generals are also very reasonable. Spreading the news now will shake the morale of the army to a great extent. This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!
After careful consideration, Li Jing finally made the decision to believe the news, but at the same time he would never withdraw his troops!

"The generals listened to the order, now we can only choose to believe such news, as if the Turks have learned the detailed marching route and purpose!"

"But at the same time, we must not withdraw our troops. The best way is to change the original plan and march directly to the south, outflanking the Turks from the other side!"

"They would never have thought that we would suddenly appear on the other side. Now we can only hope that this news does come from within the Turks!" Li Jing took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said in a low voice.

It's a gamble...
