Seeing how sternly the general spoke, the others shut their mouths one by one. It was not appropriate to talk nonsense at this time. This was not just a matter of fighting the enemy, the most important thing was that it involved our own front.
Such a spy incident happened in a place so far away from the rear. It must be investigated thoroughly and an explanation must be given to everyone. We cannot jump to conclusions casually. If there is a problem inside, it will be more deadly than a 100,000-strong army outside.
Take what happened last night for example. If we talk about danger, the level is at most around three. But if we talk about this spy incident, the danger level may be around seven, which is twice as dangerous as last night. Once internal unrest occurs, it will be impossible to settle the case.
General Sima ordered everyone to go back. The Tang army was ready for battle at any time, but no one could step out of the camp without his order. This was to prevent these guys from going back and talking nonsense. There were so many rough guys in the army who could tell me a few secrets at will, so he had to give them the strictest orders to make these bastards shut up.
As for the Tuyuhun army, General Sima did not send anyone to investigate specifically. He just asked Hu Sanshi's men to investigate carefully to see if there was such a person. If there really was such a person, General Sima would go and question him openly instead of inviting him here.
At this critical moment, everyone is in a state of panic. We hid well that night, but the Byzantine army still got through. What does this prove? Even if you are a fool, you know that someone has betrayed us. So in this situation, everyone is afraid of being suspected. If the Marshal asks me to answer questions, it is likely that I am suspected.
But if General Sima went over to question them, some things would be different. The Tang army still had its dignity, and some things without evidence would cause them to be disgusted. But if there was conclusive evidence and the initiative was in the hands of Sima Jun, those people would not be unreasonable.
That night, the investigators gave Sima Jun a piece of information. Just as the Byzantine general had said, there really was such a person in the Tuyuhun army. He was originally a young master of the Anda tribe, but because his family rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, he was demoted to a commoner.
Normally, such a person should not be able to join the army, but after two general amnesties, this guy joined the army. In addition, his combat capability was indeed good. He followed the Tuyuhun army in battles and made many contributions.
Especially on the battlefield of the Arab Empire, he first followed Li Chengyi, then followed Cheng Chumo, and now he is under Sima Jun. Perhaps it is because the previous two generals were too difficult to deal with and their minds were quick, so he did not make any moves. He felt that Sima Jun was a little naive, and if he did something to him, he might not be able to detect it.
Of course, all of this was speculation, and Sima Jun did not dare to make a rash conclusion. After receiving the news, he immediately entered the Tuyuhun military camp with his 200 guards.
"Greetings, Marshal."
Several generals from the Tuyuhun army had been waiting outside early. Although Sima Jun was not a marshal, the army had its own customs. Now they were a separate force marching westward, and Sima Jun was the highest general of their army, so it was not an exaggeration to call him Marshal.
General Sima looked at the four people in front of him. These four people were the generals leading the Tuyuhun military camp. Three of them were Tuyuhun people, and one was from the Tang Dynasty.
"Send away the attendants."
Sima Jun asked these people to dismiss their guards, and then bring the prisoner over, and let the prisoner explain everything to these generals in front of him. In fact, Sima Jun also thought about letting these people go to his own tent, but if that were the case, there might be some unwanted results, so it is better to take the risk himself.
Moreover, even if there was rebellion, it was a personal act. How could he rebel against the Heavenly Emperor while in the military? In recent years, the ideological control of the military has been very strong, even more important than their military training. If there was a real rebellion, it would just prove to Your Highness that the brainwashing policy you mentioned has basically failed.
After listening to this guy's words, the faces of several Tuyuhun generals became more and more ugly. What they wanted now was to rush to the front. There were more and more traitorous troops in the Tang Empire. If they could not show their strength, their status would become lower and lower. Would they still be able to get any benefits in the future?
According to these people's thinking, they were the first group to surrender to the Tang Dynasty court, so even if there was any good thing, it should have come to them first. However, they did not expect that they would not get any good thing, but instead they were blamed for being traitors. How painful it was.
"Don't be silent, I can't go out and question him. I'll leave this matter to you three. Go and investigate quietly. If he's truly a traitor, I'll teach you how to deal with him. If not, I'll personally apologize to him and kill him."
Sima Jun saw that the three generals were silent, and we didn't have the time to continue accompanying you, so there must be a rule for this matter. If you continue to remain silent, you probably won't be able to do anything in the future. If that guy gets the news, he might suddenly run away, which would be a huge joke for our Tang army.
After the three of them saluted Sima Jun, they left immediately. They were all very familiar with the fallen nobleman. Of course, it was not because of his identity as a fallen nobleman, but because that person was quite powerful. He could often inspire others' fighting power on the battlefield, and he had always been very good at answering questions from new recruits.
He had originally thought of promoting that guy, but he hadn't expected something like this to happen. When he saw the three generals leading their men, he was already a little panicked. He had thought that if the Tang army came to arrest him, it would immediately lead to a confrontation between the two armies. But he hadn't expected that the one who came to arrest him was actually General Tuyuhun...
