Sima Hongyan guessed correctly, most of the fourteen guards of Wu Zhao were also reckless men, and half of them were good at gambling, so Sima Hongyan wanted to know where there were underground gambling houses, and they said three or four casually.

Sima Hongyan was secretly happy, took the map, and asked the guards to point out the location of the gambling house to her.

Finally, there are two gambling houses closest to the Xiyue Envoy Inn. Sima Hongyan left Wu Zhao and the four people who often went to these two gambling houses, and let the others go about their own business.

After everyone else left, Sima Hongyan also took Qinghan out and told Wu Zhao and the four of them his thoughts.

Of course, Sima Hongyan would never tell Wu Zhao and the others about the female army's monitoring of the envoys of the four countries, after all, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better. She just told Wu Zhao and the others to find a way to infiltrate these two gambling houses, and then find an opportunity to lure the envoys of the Xiyue Kingdom there as well.

If you have the opportunity, it is best to get to know these people from the West Vietnamese country, listen to all the things about these West Vietnamese envoys, and tell yourself.

Wu Zhao is an old Jianghu, he listens carefully to what Sima Hongyan says, and he doesn't ask if he doesn't say it. Fortunately, it was a familiar road for them to find out the news, so a few people discussed and arranged it, and then went their own way.

Before leaving, Sima Hongyan instructed that if he found any news, he could let Qinghan send it to the women's army barracks. In the end, he also asked Qinghan to prepare a hundred taels of silver for each of them.

Hearing that he could be ordered to gamble, his own lady also prepared gambling money, and a few guards left happily. If it weren't for Sima Hongyan's order that this matter should never be mentioned to anyone, these guards would definitely have to show off with the other brothers.

After eating something, Sima Hongyan hurried back to the barracks and sat on a chair in the middle of the military tent to close his eyes and recuperate.

The lively military camp in the past suddenly became alone, and Sima Hongyan was a little uncomfortable. I wanted to squint for a while, but I couldn't sleep because I had something on my mind.

When it was almost noon, Ban Lingruo returned to the barracks with a few people. Sima Hongyan turned over and sat up, asking about the progress of the female soldiers in each team.

Ban Lingruo took a few sips of water and said, "All the people in the post house have been replaced by ours, and they all deliberately kept a low profile, and did not let the envoys of various countries find anything abnormal. The other three teams also entered the shops smoothly according to the plan, or pretended to be a buddy, or pretended to be a maid, and there was nothing abnormal. ”

Sima Hongyan saw that Ban Lingruo was still followed by a few people coming back, so he asked, "What's the matter with them?" ”

Ban Lingruo said: "A few of them are from the three teams that cover the shops, and there are fewer shops near the four post houses than we imagined, and I have added a few more shops to place our people, but there are still a few more people coming out." I figured it happened that there was no one left in the barracks, so I brought them back. ”

Sima Hongyan nodded and said: "Time is in a hurry, we don't have time to inspect the situation around the post house, I was worried that we didn't have enough manpower, but I didn't expect a few people to come out." It just so happened that I had been in the camp all morning, and I also felt uncomfortable that it suddenly became empty. Let these people stay in the barracks, and then let them rotate with other female soldiers. ”

Originally, the female soldiers were not very happy to be brought back, but they became happy when they heard that they could go out on a mission in rotation with others.

Sima Hongyan arranged for a few female soldiers to go to the camp first, and by the way, they would get some lunch for everyone.

When they went out, Sima Hongyan instructed Ban Lingruo again: "Tell everyone in the past few days, don't make any moves, just work honestly first and be familiar with the environment." After a few days of getting used to it, we'll make arrangements. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Sister, don't worry, I have already arranged it like this." After all, they are all new faces, and if there is something wrong with each other, it is easy for others to find out. ”

Sima Hongyan said with a smile: "My little sister has really improved a lot, and she actually thought of me in front of me." ”

Ban Lingruo said proudly: "Of course, if you study with your sister every day, wouldn't you be laughed at if you don't grow." ”

Sima Hongyan nodded very pleased, and by the way, he told Ban Lingruo about Wu Zhao and their arrangement into the gambling house. Ban Lingruo suddenly said: "This method is good, but it's a pity that I didn't think of it." ”

Fortunately, the two imperial chefs borrowed from the imperial dining room in the palace were still there, and after a while, the two female soldiers brought some food. Sima Hongyan saw that there were only a few people in the whole camp, so he simply called everyone to eat together.

For three days in a row, the female soldiers sent out, under the instruction of Sima Hongyan, honestly played their roles and did their own work, during which everything was calm and peaceful.

And three days later, in the early morning of this day, the imperial court issued a list in the whole city, announcing to the world that the Five Nations Competition would be officially held in the school martial arts field ten days later.

After nearly half a year of preparation, the Tournament of the Five Nations finally ushered in the moment of the decisive battle. At this time, everyone understood that this contest was not only a competition of talents, but also a war between countries. Once Yanling loses to any opponent, the price is not only to cede land and lose the city, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the Central Plains Continent.

In addition, the four countries have long been eyeing the land of Yanling, spying on the fertile land of Yanling, and the rich resources are not a year or two. If it weren't for the fact that Yanling has many famous generals and a strong military, I am afraid that this piece of fat would have been divided by other countries.

At this time, after years of forbearance, the four countries secretly cultivated their own military strength, and then took advantage of the death of Sima Yongcheng, the general of Yanling, and they were eager to take this opportunity to invade Yanling.

In the past few years, the border passes on all sides of Yanling have been subjected to small-scale attempts by the four countries from time to time, and the situation of group attacks has become increasingly urgent. In order to gain strategic time for Yanling, he simply lured the wolf into the sheepfold and used the Five Nations Competition to fight for a turnaround for Yanling.

However, the current situation is not completely unfavorable to Yanling, after all, the four countries are in their own ways. If the four countries reach an alliance to jointly carve up Yanling, no matter how strong Yanling's military strength is, it will not be able to resist it.

When the four countries were invited to Yanling, the new Zhenguo general Liao Ziling had already sent four capable generals to garrison the four borders of Yanling. Emperor Yanzhen's attitude is very clear, rather than letting the other party secretly make trouble for himself in the dark, it is better to put it on the table. Whoever can win Yanling in the Five Nations Competition, Yanling will directly compensate you for the city.

Bet! It's a big gamble! The bet is the land of Yanling, the city of Yanling, and the dignity of Yanling.

In order to ensure that Yanling can have the best chance of winning, Emperor Yanzhen will support Sima Hongyan so much to establish a unique Yanling female army. It's just that the time for the women's army to be established is too short, and I am afraid that they will not be able to control the direction of Yanling's victory or defeat in this competition.

But Sima Hongyan didn't think so, if it was said that stealing a country's intelligence was unrealistic. But if she wants to find out the details of a participating envoy group, she still has absolute confidence.

When Yanling announced the start time of the Five Nations Competition, Sima Hongyan also issued an order to the female soldiers who were scattered to obtain information. Within ten days, she demanded that the female soldiers must find out the details of everyone in the mission of the four countries, including each person's character, habits, temperament, and even what they like to eat and what they don't like to eat.

Sima Hongyan worked as a client representative in her previous life, and she knows that she understands every small feature of her clients, and can make the most effective public relations plan for her clients, and it is the details that often determine success or failure.

Therefore, she asked the female soldiers who were lurking every day to report back in great detail what they had learned. So, on the first day of the female soldier's operation, the information retrieved by Ban Lingruo filled the table.

Some of this information was written on paper, some on strips of cloth, and some on chopping wood with knives. In short, there is everything in all shapes. These female soldiers are really amazing, not only serious, but also observant. Whenever I find something useful, I look for something and record it, and I do everything in detail.

Looking at the results of the first day, Sima Hongyan was pleasantly surprised and relieved.

Sima Hongyan asked Ban Lingruo to transfer the two teams under him back to the first team. Find three or four people who write faster to record, and the rest of the people each share a bunch of information and read them to Sima Hongyan one by one. Whenever Sima Hongyan heard information that he thought was useful, he instructed the female soldier who wrote it to record it.
