Chapter 1361: Runaway Slave

"The whole army is accelerating forward, the target, Jixian. "Shangguan Jian ordered everyone to move forward at full speed, Jixian, that is, the former Yandu, after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Guangyang County was established, and Jixian County also became a front-line battlefield against the wolf clan.

It took some time to deal with the rebel army before, but after all, everyone did not drag the logistics baggage, and there were not many conscriptions, so they must have arrived in Jixian County before Han Hao.

"Scouts in groups of five, thirty miles ahead of the group, if there is an abnormality, report it immediately. "Maybe it's a shadow of the last sneak attack by the wolf cavalry, Shangguan Jian's deployment is very thorough, and there are people in any direction of the team who are "giving warning", but fortunately, these days are "abnormally" quiet, and even the scouts of the wolf clan can't see it.

Everyone walked to a flat land, there are only three days left from Jixian County, Shangguan Jian originally wanted to travel day and night, speed up the arrival, but did not expect that as soon as he arrived, it rained heavily in the sky, fortunately everyone brought dry food, otherwise Ye Shikai was still worried that the food would be damp, and the troops set up camp, and then marched when the rain stopped.

"It's rare to get such a heavy rain in the winter in the north. Ye Shikai put on a cloak on the outside of the battle armor, which could simply cover the rain, and the rain did not become smaller than expected, but became bigger and bigger, and the dirt road became very muddy, which would affect the speed of the march.

"yes, I don't know if it's a sign of a great war. Shangguan Jian said lightly behind him.

"I don't care if it's a sign of a big war, as long as it's not a sign of a big defeat. Ye Shikai teased, frankly speaking, they are just middle and lower-level officers of the Qin army, just responsible for the tactics of the big war, and they can also be said to be chess pieces on the chessboard, if they want to really see the whole situation, their status is not enough, they only know that there are wolf clans on the front line, but they don't know anything about the specific number and distribution, and even, they don't know anything about Jixian County, which is hundreds of miles away

"What should we do now, whether to continue the march or wait for the rain to stop. Shangguan Jian asked Ye Shikai's opinion, through these battles, he also had to admit that from the commander's point of view, Ye Shikai was better and more suitable, at least he could think of plans that others hadn't thought of.

"Look at this rain, I'm afraid it won't stop so soon, we still have to march. Ye Shikai looked at the sky, the clouds were thick, it looked gray, and it was very depressing.

"Okay, I'll call a few generals over to discuss. ”

"No, they've been complaining to me for the past few days why they stopped here, and I believe that at this moment, they are ready to set out for camp. Ye Shikai waved his hand, although the battle situation was unclear, the high morale made Ye Shikai very pleased.

"Alright, let's go."

"Report to the two generals, our sentry found some women outside, judging from the clothing, they should be women from the wolf clan, Li Tunchang led people to arrest them, and asked the general to interrogate. At this time, a guard suddenly came in and reported.

"The woman of the wolf clan, how can she appear here. Puzzled, Shangguan Jian asked the sergeant to bring in a group of women, and just in case, the sergeant also tied the women's hands and ankles with ropes to prevent anyone from escaping.

"Ahem, what are you? Ye Shikai couldn't help but feel a little pity, these women were dressed very ordinarily, even a little shabby, their eyes were full of fear, and there were some scars on their bodies, could they be slaves of the wolf clan.

"My lords, we are not wolves, we were captured by them as slaves. One of the women said tremblingly, Ye Shikai was worried that they were afraid of the sergeant's weapons, so he asked everyone to put away their weapons.

"So you are from the Qin Dynasty. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.

"Yes, sir. Seeing that the sergeant had no malicious intent, the women were not afraid.

"We are villagers from Guangyang County, and we were captured by the wolf clan. ”

"I see, no wonder you speak the language of Huaxia. Ye Shikai suddenly realized that the wolf clan's sneak attack on the village is not a matter of one or two days, especially in the border area, as soon as the war starts, these things can even be said to be "commonplace", in addition to plundering property and burning down the village, the wolf clan will also bring back the women in the village as slaves, Shangguan Jian and Ye Shikai have also heard of it before, but they have not met it.

"How did you get out. Shangguan Jian's expression was vigilant, he has always been cautious, this is also a necessary quality of a commander, generally speaking, the slave owner uses ropes or shackles to connect ten slaves together, or even more, so that even if one slave wants to escape, he will be pulled by others, but how do these people come out.

"In the past few days, the Qin army and the wolf clan have been fighting constantly, and yesterday a group of Qin troops broke through the stronghold of the slave owners, and we took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

Shangguan Jian stepped forward and carefully examined the ankles of these people, and his solemn face gradually softened.

"Old Ye, they shouldn't be lying. ”

"How do you know. ”

"They have several calluses on their ankles, which are left by being handcuffed for a long time. Shangguan Jian explained.

"And their accents also have the tone of Guangyang County, looking at this palm, they don't look like people who often hold weapons, so they shouldn't be the fine work of the wolf clan. Shangguan Jian continued.

"Your Excellency, please be aware that we are all villagers of the Qin Dynasty, and we are really not wolf clans. Several women cried bitterly, and even knelt on the ground and begged, it was not for nothing that they were so panicked, some generals would rather kill a thousand by mistake in order to prevent the infiltration of the fine work, and would not let go of one, even if they were really villagers, they would be killed as spies.

"Don't worry, girls, since you are not meticulous, we will naturally not hurt you. Ye Shikai hurriedly persuaded him, "Mancang, you take a few aunts down first, I see that they are all hungry, bring them some bread and rice porridge." ”

"Well, a few girls, come with me. Man Cang and the sergeant left the camp with a few women, Ye Shikai was quite surprised by this "little episode", and he didn't expect to meet the fleeing woman on the way to the march.

"Lao Ye, if what these women said is true, then the battle ahead must be very fierce. Shangguan Jian took out the map, excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent, don't forget, these women escaped from the wolf clan, and maybe they will know some about the battle situation.

"We may be able to get some useful information from them. ”
