Mo Crow and others were monitoring Xiao Yu and the three of them, each of them had a string of sugar gourds in their hands, and they were happily discussing where they were going next.

Just as the three of them discussed where they were going to go, two shadows blocked the three of them.

The three of them looked up at the people blocking their way, the smile on their faces disappeared instantly, and the faces of the people who came showed seriousness, and the three of them suddenly stood up straight like a good baby and did not dare to speak.

"Uncle Qiu, why are you here?" Xiao Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a flattering smile.

"If I don't come, you don't know when you'll be back?" Yu Qiu said solemnly.

The three of them suddenly showed embarrassed expressions, the three of them can be described as lawless in the Shilan clan, in addition to their respective parents and great elders, there is only Yu Qiu left, Yu Qiu is the personal guard of the three elders, and now he is the person in charge of Yu Yuan's protection of the criminal law.

Because of the strict and fair law enforcement, Yu Qiu has a high prestige among Yu Yuan's guards.

"Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Aren't you afraid of accidents when you go down the mountain without permission? As soon as the Great Elder forbade the clansmen to go out of the mountain, you went down the mountain without saying a word, and took all the goods with you, so you wait to go back and confine them down. ”

Yu Qiu's face was serious, and his words were full of indifference, and the frightened three children suddenly lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, like frightened quails.

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back, and now follow me back to the mountain." Yu Qiu glared at the three of them fiercely.

"Changqing, you go and inform the others to go back to the mountain, and I will take the three of them back to the mountain directly." Yu Qiu said to the people around him.

"Yes, Master." Yu Changqing said.

Looking at Yu Changqing, who left separately, and Yu Qiu, who was with three children, the guard said to Mo Crow

"Ink Tube, are we going to keep up?"

"One of you will inform Mr., the rest will follow Yu Changqing, and I will follow the three children, remember to give up tracking, but don't reveal your identity." Ink Raven reminded.

"No!" The five of them arched their hands and said.

Looking at Yu Qiu and the three children who were walking away, Mo Crow came behind the four people in an instant, and the five guards immediately dispersed, one went to inform Ziyou, and the four began to follow Yu Changqing.

At this time, Sima Su brought Sima Xin to see Ziyou, and the three of them talked very well, except for Sima Xin to speak when necessary, the rest was Sima Su talking to Ziyou.

"Sir, the spies reported that Qu Jun kept vigil at Chen's mansion overnight, and it is said that Chen Shu and Qu Jun Shou had a good conversation." Sima Su said.

"I know about this, do you think there's something wrong with it?" Ziyou asked.

"Qu Jun Shou is the county guard canonized by the king himself, naturally there is no problem, and Chen Shu definitely has a problem, the Chen family originally had a very shallow relationship with Qu Jun Shou, but two years ago, Chen Shu began to show favor to Qu County Shou, and there must be demons when things go wrong, but after all, the Chen family is a big family in Chengdu, Qu County Shou is not good to refuse directly, and most of them are also turning a blind eye, so the relationship between the two sides has been very cold, Chen Shu did not show favor to the county guard for a while before Mr. came, and began to show favor to the county guard after the reception banquet, but it was all in private, There was no uproar like before, and the spies found that Chen Shu's steward often disappeared inexplicably, saying that he was a businessman, but every time the caravan left Shushan Road, the steward no longer saw anyone. Sima Su said.

"Any other useful information?" Ziyou asked.

"Just now, the caravan of the Sima family came back and brought back a piece of news, the price of grain in the old capital of Chu and other places has risen, up by half the price." Sima Su said in a deep voice.

"Has the Chu army been transferred to Yingdu?" Sima Xin asked.

Sima Xin, who had not said a few words, suddenly spoke, which made Ziyou a little surprised, judging the movement of the army from the rise in food prices alone is not something that ordinary people can have.

"How did General Sima know that the Chu army had moved? As far as I know, the army of Chu should be in the area of Xudi and Nanyang. Ziyou asked.

"In addition to the occurrence of disasters, there is only one possibility that the price of food in a place has risen, that is, there has been a large amount of grain purchases, and the grain purchases that can lead to an increase in half the price are at least 100,000 people's food, so I guess it is the transfer of troops." Sima Xin said.

Ziyou looked at Sima Xin's eyes full of surprise, and being able to deduce the movement of troops from a very small thing was enough to show how sensitive Sima Xin's sense of smell on the battlefield was.

"Yingdu is close to Qianzhong County and Wu County, both places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus there are Nanjun and other places in front of the guards, so there are not many defenders, whether it is Qianzhong County and Wu County, there is a direct passage to Bashu County, Zhang Ruo Taishou seized the two counties and specially built these two roads, if the Chu army enters Shu from the two places, it only takes half a month to reach Chengdu." Sima Xin continued.

"General Sima has studied the topography of the two places and Shu County." Ziyou said.

"Actually, don't hide it, sir, I have nothing to do in the military camp on weekdays, and I think about where the enemy is most likely to attack from if Shu County faces a foreign enemy, and how to defend or even counterattack." Sima Xin said with some embarrassment.

Looking at the somewhat honest man in front of him, Ziyou felt that he had been wronged by letting him defend Chengdu all these years, and with such a sense of smell on the battlefield and the deduction of the art of war, he could also rank in the top five in the Qin State, which was full of famous generals.

"You continue to talk about the reason for the transfer of the Chu army this time?" Ziyou continued to ask.

Ziyou wanted to know where Sima Xin's upper limit was, and if Sima Xin's ability was enough, Ziyou wouldn't mind helping him and letting the Sima family return to the top of the Qin military.

"Don't dare to say anything, but there is only one person in the Chu State who has the ability to command an army of at least 100,000 people, Xiang Yan.

As far as I know, Xiang Yan guards Xu Di, and Yingdu is extremely important to Xiang Yan and Changping Jun, so it is impossible for them to hand over the command of the 100,000 army to others, and Xu Di already has 200,000 troops, if Yingdu has at least 100,000 more troops, then Xiang Yan has 300,000 troops in his hands, which is more than Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao combined.

Both sides regarded each other as mortal enemies, so it was impossible for them to let Xiang Yan have at least 300,000 troops in his hands, so there was only one possibility that Xiang Yan would take at least 100,000 people to Yingdu.

This can also explain why the army secretly buys grain, rather than sending people to allocate grain and grass from the court. Sima Xin continued.

Not only Ziyou was frightened by Sima Xin's inference, but even Sima Su was stunned, he seemed to recognize his eldest brother for the first time, in his heart his eldest brother was a stupid big man who only knew how to train and work, but he didn't expect that there was such a deep strategy.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the two, Sima Xin scratched his head and said

"When my second brother and I went to Duyou to visit my late father and Wu Anjun, I was fortunate to get Wu Anjun's guidance and a book of war, Wu Anjun said that leading troops to fight should not only look at the battlefield situation, but also pay attention to the changes in the enemy's country, so as to seize the opportunity and kill with one blow."

Ziyou looked at Sima Xin, and felt distressed in his heart, damn, if this had been cultivated earlier, where would Qin Guo worry about the commander-in-chief, Sima Xin might not be able to sit in the position of strategic commander, but he could also act for the time being, and it would be enough to deal with the layout in a short period of time.

"My Confucianism has a lineage called Confucian generals, which has been cut off since the death of Chu Zilu in battle, I don't know if General Sima is willing to inherit it?" Ziyou looked at Sima Xin and said.

That's it for today, the author is still on the train.
