Seeing this, Li Shuangwan's heart sank suddenly. He hid himself in the cover of night and looked up.

Her eyesight was excellent and she could see clearly even in the dark.

On the city wall, some Zhao soldiers were carrying bows and arrows, some were carrying logs, and more and more soldiers were carrying bows and arrows up to the city wall.

There were so many people that it was packed tightly together.

Obviously, they are preparing for the battle.

She looked at the people around her.

Hong Shuang and Shu Wenbo also looked unhappy.

Everyone had a rough guess in their mind, fearing that the battle plan they had just decided on in the afternoon had been leaked!

A spy appeared in the Daliang army.

But those who held meetings in the general's tent were generals above the rank of deputy general.

Except for Ma Jingwei, the rest have families.

How dare they?

Could it really be that Ma Jingwei?

However, this man was not easily persuaded and was extremely strict in disciplining his soldiers, and he was well-known for this in the entire Daliang army.

Li Shuangwan didn't think the problem lay with the generals attending the meeting. How could Gu Xingyan not know which ones were loyal and which ones were treacherous?

Li Shuangwan immediately ordered a retreat.

She must inform Yu Gu Xingyan of this before the army sets out.

Huaizhou City and Yongzhou City are fifty miles apart. After leaving eight of the ten people who followed to observe, she, Shu Wenbo and Hong Shuang ran all the way to Yongzhou City.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shuangwan appeared at the gate of the military camp. She was holding her breath and almost flew all the way here. Shu Wenbo and Hong Shuang had been left behind by her and no one knew where they were.

At this moment, she pulled the reins hard, the horse neighed, raised its hooves high, and the next moment it fell to the ground with exhaustion.

Li Shuangwan also fell off the horse.

Someone heard the sound and immediately reported it to Gu Xingyan.

Gu Xingyan strode over and saw that the girl was about to fall to the ground. The military camp was stationed in the suburbs and the ground was full of stones. If she fell, she would definitely be injured.

He pushed hard with his toes and flew into the air. Just when Li Shuangwan was about to land, he caught him steadily.

Without waiting for Li Shuangwan to speak, Gu Xingyan hurriedly checked: "Yanyan, what happened to you? Are you injured? Did you encounter an ambush?"

Li Shuangwan gasped for breath and shook his head, saying, "No, no. There is a spy. Our operation plan was leaked."

Morin threw a water bag over.

Gu Xingyan took it and said, "Don't talk yet. Drink some water first. Don't be impatient. Talk slowly."

"Jia Cheng, go check!"

"Yes!" Jia Cheng rushed over. He would be able to find out by simply checking who was missing from the army.

He was running so fast that Li Shuangwan's whole body was shaking and he couldn't even stand.

Gu Xingyan held her with one hand and brought the water bag to her mouth.

After walking fifty miles, Li Shuangwan took a mouthful of cold wind and felt his throat hurt as if it was torn apart. He took two small sips and only then did he manage to calm himself down.

Gu Xingyan handed the water bag back to Mo Lin, and with his other hand he gently stroked her back over and over again: "Speak slowly."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "Xingyan, luckily for me, we arrived an hour early. As soon as we arrived, we found some unusual movements on the tower of Huaizhou City. We observed that they were preparing for battle. The crossbows were already in place, and the rolling logs were also being transported. I took a quick look and there were more than ten thousand archers."

If more than ten thousand archers and eighteen powerful crossbows fired at the same time, no matter how many soldiers were behind them, they would be shot into sieves, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"You just said there was a spy among us and the battle plan was leaked?"

Li Shuangwan nodded heavily: "I think Ava may set up an ambush along the way. I left a few people behind to watch out for the movements of the Zhao army."

Several generals who were holding a meeting in the military camp in the afternoon rushed over immediately after hearing the news. They were gathering their troops and were ready to set out in a quarter of an hour.

It’s fifty miles, and if we march quickly, we can get there in four hours.

After hearing this, several people looked at each other, and saw confusion and suspicion on each other's faces.

There were even a few people who immediately began to doubt Li Shuangwan's identity.

They had never heard of Duke Shu having an adopted daughter before. Not only did she participate in the battle plan meeting as soon as she arrived, but she also arrived an hour earlier than the scheduled time. Could she be the one instigating this?

Before the war, several generals became suspicious of each other...

Some people didn't dare to think about it, but they had already seen doubt in each other's eyes.

Someone said in a cold voice: "Miss Shu, what you said is indeed a bit strange. Only a few of us participated in the pre-war meeting, but you said that there was a spy among us? Haha, I think your words are not credible."

The speaker was Jin Haijiang, the former commander of the Zhenzhou Army and currently one of the deputy generals of the Canglang Army.

"That's right. We can swear to heaven that we will never reveal even a single military secret!"

"Miss Shu, you should speak with evidence. You are suspecting us of collaborating with the enemy and betraying our country. This is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of our clan. How can I allow you to slander us with just a few words?"

Several people were indignant, and even Ma Jingwei and General Liang frowned slightly.

The alienation of several deputy generals before the war was an irreversible and severe blow to the entire war situation.

Their words were very unpleasant, but Li Shuangwan did not get angry. If these people knew her real identity, they would not believe her, mainly because she appeared here out of nowhere.

No one recognized him except Gu Xingyan, Liang Tianyou and others.

Gu Xingyan didn't get angry either, because he knew very well that the generals he had selected were very loyal. In their previous lives, they had all followed him loyally to conquer the world.

No matter whether it was Jin Haijiang or Cheng Yuansi, in the previous life's battle with the remnants of the Chen family, they fought with him until the last moment.

Cui Jingyu stood by and watched, his arms folded across his chest, glancing indifferently at Li Shuangwan who was protected by Gu Xingyan behind him.

Letting go of the hand that had been supporting Li Shuangwan, Gu Xingyan looked calmly at everyone present.

"I have never suspected that there is a spy among us. The battle plan was leaked. It must have been overheard by someone accidentally, but they have no way of knowing our detailed plan."

At this time, the sound of galloping horses came.

When everyone looked up, they saw a man and a woman rushing in.

Shu Wenbo jumped off his horse and said anxiously, "Brother Jiu, the battle plan has been leaked, and there is a spy among us!"

He swept his cold eyes across the faces of everyone present, as if he wanted to see through their hearts and tear them apart one by one to see who was the traitor and the evil-hearted one!

Hong Shuang also nodded: "They are already on full alert, and Huaizhou City has a unique terrain. We won't be able to take it down tomorrow."

How can an exhausted army of 300,000 fight against an army of 350,000 fierce and brave? What a brutal battle that would be.

And their 300,000 people may not be united.

"Any other unusual movements?" Gu Xingyan asked in a deep voice.
