Chapter 812: The spy returns to the camp

While the soldiers were busy with a dinner, Lin Xuanzhong and many generals had not been idle, because for the past three days, some of the spies sent out earlier had finally returned in a mess, and they had also brought back some important information. According to the report of the spy who infiltrated the lockdown, the Yang royal family did not issue a military document, and there was no sign of troop movement in the lockdown, but it was a fact that Emperor Yang was still in Meteorite City.

In fact, it is not too important that the military has no news, the important thing is that when the secret agent returned from the secret route, he found a large number of suspicious people, those who gathered together, like a mountain bandit organization, but there were many people, and they acted in an extremely low-key manner. The reason why the messenger came back so late had a lot to do with avoiding the eyes and ears of the gang.

Under the questioning of Lin Xuanzhong and the generals, the spy also focused on explaining where those people gathered, how many people there were, and how many people continued to join.

Not to mention how accurate the content of the spies' description is, the authenticity of this message alone is beyond suspicion. According to Lin Xuanzhong's conjecture with those generals, the attacks they encountered for two consecutive days were probably related to that group. Next, Lin Xuanzhong and the other generals have to deal with this information well. Therefore, everyone asked the spy carefully, and asked him to tell everyone that everything he encountered during the period from leaving the army three days ago to returning today was described to everyone word for word, and any details involved in the whole process were the aspects that Lin Xuanzhong and the generals paid attention to.

After the spy explained in more detail, it didn't take long for Lin Xuanzhong and all the generals present to obtain the information they needed to the greatest extent. After deliberation, Lin Xuanzhong and the other generals felt that the news reported by the spies was not enough for them to determine all the circumstances, but the things they wanted to determine had already been determined.

"Generals, you must have heard what the spies said just now. There is indeed a gathering of enemy personnel in a valley not far from the camp, and it is clear that they are plotting against us, and may attack the camp tonight. If Ben guessed correctly, there might be another enemy camp in the southeast, and the enemy must be attacking us from more than one direction. ”

After a pause, Lin Xuanzhong continued: "The number of the other party may be more than 20,000, but you can rest assured that the number of the other party will not exceed ours, and the overall strength will not be stronger than ours, otherwise the other party will not use those strong bandits to disturb the morale of the army, and then drive the fierce beasts to attack us." Or, if they were far superior to us in overall strength, they would have raided our camp overnight after an attack on our army last night, but they didn't. ”

"Therefore, according to the general's speculation, the overall strength of those lurking local forces will not surpass ours, and they have no confidence to confront us head-on, so the generals don't have to worry too much, as long as our army is ready, those people will definitely not dare to rashly attack the camp," Lin Xuanzhong drew many inferences in response to the information reported by the spies, and after sorting it out, Lin Xuanzhong analyzed his views to the generals below.

"The general is right, those people must have more than one camp, there may be a second or third camp in the corresponding place, so that they can attack us from several sides, so that their raid effect can be more obvious," it was Zhang Jiutian who spoke, according to the information obtained from the spy, Zhang Jiutian also had some opinions, "Judging from the attacks we have suffered in the past two days, this time it should be the personnel of Sword City and the two sides of the blockade who conspired to attack us." It's just that I have a question, if they are really not many in number, as General Lin said, but we can take care of each other with the rear army, why do they dare to attack us?"

Lin Xuanzhong's analysis made some sense in Zhang Jiutian's opinion, but it was not comprehensive, so Zhang Jiutian pointed out Lin Xuanzhong's inconsiderate points very directly.

"General Zhang said the same, although the rear army is more than ten miles away from us, as long as we can hold on a little longer, the rear army can still support in time, haven't they thought about this," Zhou Wenfeng raised his eyebrows, and then Zhang Jiutian's words continued.

"Will they have more men than we expected, enough to attack two armies in front of and behind us at the same time?" The three statements of the three directly made Lin Xuanzhong realize that the analysis that he thought was very reasonable was actually full of flaws.

"The last general thought that, according to the information reported by the spies, there was no large movement of people in the lockdown city, so they definitely did not have the manpower to attack both armies at the same time. In addition, we have a total of 100,000 troops, and even if they plan to annihilate us in one fell swoop by means of an ambush, it will take at least 100,000 men to be sure. ”

"It is not overnight to mobilize 100,000 people, and according to the situation when we pass by Sword City, even if they have so many martial cultivators, it is impossible to gather people in a few areas without us noticing, so the last general thinks that time is tight, and they can only gather the strength of a front army at most, and it is impossible to have the ability to mobilize so many people," When the first three of them all expressed their opinions from the perspective of questioning Lin Xuanzhong, Ruan Yi made a judgment from the perspective of agreeing with Lin Xuanzhong's statement through his own thinking.

"General Ruan, how do you know if they have placed their personnel in the mountains before our army arrived in Sword City, waiting for our arrival, and then hunting us all down?"

"The last general can't be sure, I just want to say my opinion," under Zhang Jiutian's questioning, Ruan Yi's tone softened and did not say much.

I thought that Ruan Yi could come up with a favorable analysis as a basis, but now it seems that Ruan Yi's passage is just a simple statement.

"General Zhang, before sending troops, the marshal sent spies to infiltrate the cities of the Night Kingdom. Recently, those spies should have been in contact with General Fang's side, if General Fang didn't say that a large number of people had left Sword City, or that there were signs of a large number of people moving earlier, then General Ruan's words were not unreasonable. It's only been three days since we left Sword City, and even if they work together, it's still impossible to have that many men, unless they're sent from some cities west of the Yang Kingdom. ”

"Our spies shouldn't have infiltrated those cities, but the last general thinks that it is unlikely that Yang Guo will send people from those places. First, the distance is long, and the other is mountainous, and the people they sent are likely to encounter danger on the way, and we have not entered the territory of Yangguo for half a month, so it is impossible for Yangguo to be ready to deal with us so early. ”

The person who is speaking now is General Qi, because he is in charge of intelligence, and at the critical moment, based on the recent understanding of information from all sides, General Qi made a more pertinent judgment.

After several generals expressed their opinions one after another, what was originally clear information for Lin Xuanzhong now became confusing, and any question could stump Lin Xuanzhong.

"So what the hell is going on? According to the general, they may come and attack the camp tonight. Could it be that they really only plan to attack the former army, and they also have to fight to the death with the former army?" After Ruan Yi and General Qi gave similar statements, Yang Shifeng could no longer adhere to his original opinion, but felt that compared to Zhang Jiutian's statement, it seemed that Ruan Yi's analysis was more reasonable, so Yang Shifeng was now as confused as Lin Xuanzhong.

After Yang Shifeng asked a question that everyone wanted to ask, Lin Xuanzhong and the other generals looked thoughtful one by one, and none of them could directly answer Yang Shifeng's question. As a result, the important information brought back by the secret agents turned into various problems in a blink of an eye, so Lin Xuanzhong and the generals had another discussion, trying to extract useful information from it. It's a long process, but time waits for no one. Before you know it, the night has fallen.

After the people outside brought in the cooked food, Lin Xuanzhong and the generals discussed while eating, until the guards outside the tent reported that another spy from the direction of the city was back to deliver the news, and Lin Xuanzhong and the others stopped talking for the time being. Although he was very curious that the spies who came back in a row were all from the direction of the closed city, Lin Xuanzhong and the generals still summoned the person as quickly as possible.

When the spy came in dirty, everyone couldn't tell whether it was the spy sent out before, or the gap that had crept in. And there are still scars on his body, as if he has fought with someone, in short, there is no place inside and outside that can make people identify this person. Before the man could speak, everyone had already suspected the man's identity.

However, the tragic appearance of that person made Lin Xuanzhong unable to suspect his identity first, and after rewarding the person with a piece of cooked meat, Lin Xuanzhong let him talk while eating.

The spy was a little apprehensive in the camp where the high-level martial cultivators were gathered, but after getting the food, he still thanked Lin Xuanzhong happily, and then said 1510. From the time he left the barracks to the time he returned to the barracks, any information that the person found useful was recounted verbatim.

Most of the content described by this person is similar to the situation described by the previous spies, Yang Guo has not issued a military document on the transfer of troops, and there is no sign of a large number of people moving in the closed city, but on the way back, he also found an unknown gathering area, and this person also risked his life to investigate.

The danger of the investigation was reflected in the vivid words of this person, and everyone who listened to it had a feeling that this person was clearly better able to speak than the previous spies. In the past, the spy only blindly described the content of the information, but now this person intentionally or unintentionally describes the difficulty of obtaining information, as if he has the intention of asking for credit.

Lin Xuanzhong and the other generals did not have the patience to listen to this person's account of the gathering of those unknown people, but when he mentioned other situations, it was very interesting. Recently, there have been outsiders coming and going in the Lockdown City Lord's Mansion, and the accent doesn't seem to be from their own country. To put it simply, those who came into contact with the local forces in lockdown were not from Meteorite.
