Chapter 1730: Secret Contact
Xue San told Ye Shikai what happened after the Battle of Nanyang, that night he was ordered to burn the Qin Army warehouse, although he was lucky to pick up a life, but he was also seriously injured, if it wasn't for a pair of people's clothes, and was helped home by the kind villagers for medical treatment, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, and lost contact with the troops, he groped alone, fortunately there was a skill, and then returned to Linxiang City.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Ye Shikai patted him on the shoulder and said excitedly, after experiencing so many sad things these days, he finally encountered something that was smooth.
"My lord, after I returned to Linxiang City, I heard that you led the troops to attack Bashu, and I also heard that you and the lord got married, and I heard the neighbors talking about it, saying that you fled Linxiang City on the day of the wedding, which is ...... What the hell is going on? Xue San didn't know what had happened to Ye Shikai in the past few months, in this era without the Internet, traffic basically relied on walking, communication basically relied on roaring, for an ordinary person, he didn't know what was happening in the world at all.
"It's hard to say, I'll tell you all these things in the future. ”
"My lord, are you and the lord now...... Fell out. ”
"Let's just say that, now Ling Er is in her hands to threaten me, and now I am also under house arrest by her, I only know that Ling Er is imprisoned by him, as for Shangguan Jian and them, I don't know where they are. Ye Shikai sighed, but now that Xue San is here, he has a way to contact the outside world.
"Xue San, then how did you know that I was under house arrest here. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.
"Flying eaves and walking on the wall, climbing over the wall beams is my housekeeping ability, even if it is the official mansion of Miwen here, I have come and gone without a trace, but this is quite big, I almost got lost, but just now I heard the sound of teacups breaking here, so I turned in to see. ”
"Anyway, it's still very dangerous here, the guards may enter the courtyard, and you will have to leave later, otherwise it will be too dangerous. Ye Shikai thought that the guards outside the courtyard might come in, so he led Xue San into the house.
"Okay, don't worry, sir. ”
"Now that I have lost contact with Shangguan and them, after you go out, try to find them, if you have a clue, you will find an opportunity to come in and tell me, and if you find them, let them not be in a hurry and wait for my instructions. Ye Shikai commanded, now that he is under house arrest, if he wants to know information from the outside world, he can only rely on Xue San.
"Also, if you can, try to find a place where Ling'er is being held. ”
"My lord, please rest assured, Xue San will go up the mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and the mission will be achieved. ”
"Alright, you leave quickly, be careful. ”
"Wow. ”
.........................................................
Linxiang City.
"I heard that the last time the lord brought troops back to the city, he brought back many wounded soldiers and corpses, and there was not even enough carriage to put it, and there was blood on the ground along the way. ”
"I've heard that the army is out of the city to fight. ”
"Isn't this war long over? ”
"Last time...... Didn't that famous General Ye escape from the city, I heard that this time I went to kill them. ”
"yes, did that work. ”
"Who knows this, but if you look at so many wounded soldiers, you can know that there are more dead. ”
"Hearing that this General Ye is three-headed and six-armed, and even the Qin army is not his opponent, the Qin army in the Central Plains was terrified when they heard his name. ”
"It's really fake, is it so evil, have you seen him with your own eyes? "Every day
"I've never seen this, but those wounded soldiers and corpses are real, not to mention thousands of people, after he escaped from the city, there were only a few people around him, and the lord spent so much effort to exterminate them, and so many people died, he was really scared to death. ”
Xue San walked to the bazaar and wanted to find out some news, although many people among the people were talking about it, but there were not many people who really knew about it, some people said that Ye Shikai's subordinates were all wiped out, and some people said that a small number of people escaped, and there were different versions without any reference.
If you want to get the news, I'm afraid you still have to go to the army, and you can only know what the situation is by asking people who have personally experienced the battle.
However, a more serious problem was placed in front of Xue San, he was indeed Ye Shikai's subordinate, a member of the Chu army, but it was a few months ago, everyone thought he was dead, not to mention that Ye Shikai was no longer in the army, his original brothers, not to mention how many were still in the army, even if they were really there, how to find these tens of thousands of Chu troops.
The only way to do this is to find the roster of the entire army.
Chu army, military camp.
"Let's go, wait for the patrol to play, let's go to the restaurant for a drink." ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
Xue San bypassed the patrol and sneaked into the treasury of the army, which contained a roster specially responsible for registration, there were usually no people here, and now that the war was over, many sergeants relaxed their vigilance, and Xue San carefully checked the names inside.
Late at night.
"When you usually train sergeants, you should be serious. ”
"Commander, you know, we've fought so many battles before, and many brothers have died, and the new recruits are not easy to manage. ”
"Alright, you all stand down. ”
"Wow. ”
"Wow. ”
In the camp tent, an officer of the Chu army was worried about the bamboo slip in front of him, and suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and the officer instinctively drew his sword to parry.
"What people. ”
"Why, Brother Sun doesn't even know me anymore. The visitor took off his hood and revealed his true face.
Xue ...... Commander Xue, why are you? The officer saw the comer and quickly put away his sword.
"It was quite an accident, everyone thought I was dead, but God had mercy on me and didn't want my life. ”
"Commander Xue will lead you to sit down first, and I will let you pour tea. ”
"No, I'm here for business. Xue San looked at the officer in front of him and said lightly, he was the leader of the squad under Ye Shikai at the beginning, and the person in front of him was the deputy commander, Sun Cai, after Xue San was "killed", he was responsible for finding information for Ye Shikai and assassinating the attack.
"Well, now you're in charge of the drudgery of training recruits. ”
"Let the commander smile, our old brothers, after several major battles, there is not much left, since Lord Ye, General Shangguan and General Man left, the original confidants and cronies have also been demoted to varying degrees, and even some generals were directly executed by the lord in secret. Sun Cai explained, "At the beginning, all of us thought that the commander of you was dead, and I led this team to a relatively small scale, so the lord did not kill me, but asked me to be responsible for training the recruits." ”
