Chapter 1362: Obtaining Intelligence
"You're right, maybe, it's a great opportunity. Ye Shikai nodded and said, looking at the map in front of him, they didn't have a map near Jixian County, let alone a detailed military map, at least from these women's mouths, they should be able to get some useful information.
Thinking of this, Ye Shikai couldn't care about the heavy rain outside, so he ran out in his coat and went directly to the barracks in Mancang.
"Have they made any arrangements? As soon as Ye Shikai arrived outside the barracks, he saw Mancang and several sergeants standing outside the door.
"Commander, we have vacated an empty barracks for them, which is enough for them to live in, and the food is also according to your orders, and the standard of the officers is given, so they can't go hungry. Man Cang explained.
"So what are you doing around here, peeking at them. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.
"How can it, Tun Chief, the brothers are all righteous and bright men, how can they do such a degrading thing. Man Cang hurriedly explained, seeing that there was no movement in the barracks, he took Ye Shikai's arm to the corner, as if he was worried about being heard by the women.
"Shangguan Bai will ask the brothers to pay more attention, so we don't dare to slack off. ”
"I see. Ye Shikai muttered, it turned out that Shangguan Jian still couldn't rest assured, but he could understand, after all, he was commanding so many people, and it was a good thing to be cautious.
"Alright, I'm going to ask them something, you go and prepare some cloth and pen and ink. Ye Shikai commanded.
"Well, Tun Chang wait, I'll go and prepare right away. ”
In the barracks.
As soon as Ye Shikai entered, it was like a hungry wolf entering the flock, and several women instinctively stepped back and kept a distance from Ye Shikai.
"You don't have to be so afraid of me. Ye Shikai said with a smile, he was not the kind of violent person, and put the cloth and pen and ink on the table.
"Are you all full? Ye Shikai did not write directly, but first "shh
The first step is to let them down.
"Back to my lordship, we're all full. A more timid woman stepped forward and said slowly, but her tone sounded very timid, perhaps because Ye Shikai asked the sergeant to give them clean clothes and hot meals, she was not so wary of Ye Shikai.
"That's good, you don't have to be afraid, as long as you don't work carefully, I will naturally send someone to send you back to the village. ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
Ye Shikai chatted with the women for a long time, and finally reassured them of their vigilance against Ye Shikai, frankly speaking, in this troubled world, whether it is the wolf clan or the Qin army, no one is cruel or more tolerant than whom, and only the people will always suffer.
"Since you escaped from the wolf clan, you should have a long way to get here. Ye Shikai took out his pen and ink and continued to ask.
"Yes, a few of us walked for five days and five nights, we didn't dare to stop, we had no food, we could only drink water to satisfy our hunger, and a few sisters died on the way, so we fled back to Qin. ”
"I see. Ye Shikai nodded and said, five days and five nights, or the speed of escaping, this is enough to walk hundreds of miles, it can be seen that they have suffered a lot.
"Don't worry, my food and drink will be provided according to the standards of the officers, we are going to the front line now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of you, and when you get to the nearest village, I will let the three elders in the village settle you." ”
"Thank you for saving your life, we will never forget it. Several women completely believed Ye Shikai, if he hadn't stopped him in time, these women would have almost kowtowed to thank him.
"Alright, I'd like to ask you a few questions, and if you answer well, I'll have a reward. Ye Shikai put strings of copper coins on the table, which was enough for them to settle down in the village and never have to be labeled as slaves.
"Just ask, sir. ”
"Since you were captured by the wolf clan, have you ever been to their barracks? ”
"We did go to their barracks, and these wolf clans took us to the barracks, gathered us, and then distributed them to the leaders of the wolf clans. ”
"So, is there a lot of the wolf army? ”
"Many, really a lot. Before Ye Shikai could finish asking, a woman suddenly stood up and said excitedly.
"How many are there. Ye Shikai's face froze, although he wanted the truth, but this truth was indeed panicking.
"When the slave was brought into the barracks before, the army of the wolf clan seemed to be gathering, and I only saw a lot of horses, and the whole meadow was full, and I can't count the specifics. ”
Ye Shikai panicked after hearing this, he actually stood all over the grassland, according to people's vision, there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry, and this may not be all the strength of the wolf clan, they still have several tribes, and the infantry is not counted, so speaking of which, the wolf clan has dispatched hundreds of thousands, or even more than two hundred thousand troops this time.
"You're telling the truth. Ye Shikai repeatedly confirmed.
"Slaves don't dare to lie, these are the truth, as for the number of people, slaves and maids really can't be counted. ”
"Well, here's your bounty. Ye Shikai handed a string of copper coins to the woman.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. ”
"It's been two hours since the chief went in, what are you asking? ”
"Don't make any noise, you should be getting information. ”
Outside the barracks, a group of sergeants gathered here, talking a lot, and Shangguan Jian also took people to wait for Ye Shikai to come out at the door.
Bang.
Suddenly, the door of the barracks was opened, and Ye Shikai waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.
"It's almost time to leave, why don't you hurry up and rest, what are you doing here? Ye Shikai asked all the sergeants to disperse and go back to the camp to rest.
"Old Ye, how is the situation. Shangguan Jian stepped forward, he knew that Ye Shikai let the sergeant disperse, just because he was worried that the information would be heard, although it came from the mouths of several slaves, but in fact, this was top-secret information.
"Look at this. Ye Shikai spread out the cloth in his hand, and there was a map on it.
"It's not very accurate, but it's still useful, and with this map, we can guess the approximate location of the wolf camp. Ye Shikai handed over the map.
"Great, old Ye, in this way, we can sneak attack. ”
"That's too much to think about, there are no less than tens of thousands of people in the wolf camp, and we only have two thousand, and we are definitely no match for them. ”
