Compared with the relatively barren and isolated northwest region, the shadow guards sent by Liu Chan in advance were more active in Jingxiang, Nanyang and other places.

Before the war, the population movement was relatively much more frequent, and it was mainly composed of Han Chinese, so it undoubtedly had more advantages in the use of spies and spies.

And Cao Wei's side, which was passively responding to the battle, was undoubtedly a step slower in this regard.

Although spy warfare is not a battlefield battle and a river of blood, the danger is not diminished in the slightest where the undercurrent is surging, and the consequences of slowing down the front line on this battlefield are more serious than those on the frontal battlefield......

Lao Li's son didn't know that these people had entered the sight of the Han army's high-level leaders, and he was still silently brewing emotions, preparing to perform in the face of interrogation for a while......

The people of Xiangyang, who were lined up with their hands tied, waited for a while, until the young man who was left alone came to join him with trembling legs, and still no one paid attention to them.

Everyone couldn't help but beat a drum in their hearts, and most of these people who were willing to run out with Lao Li had heard of the style of the Han army and Liu Bei's character.

But after all, it was a strange military camp, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he began to worry again.

After about half an hour, a man dressed as a colonel came and ordered them to untie their ropes, and then brought them into a tent for interrogation.

This interrogation was much easier to deal with than Lao Li's son expected, but it was just to ask them about their respective family backgrounds, whether they still have relatives in Xiangyang, whether they have any skills, and so on.

As for these problems, this Han army general did not study them deeply, and he didn't have anything special about it.

Only on the question of how and why they escaped from the wartime city of Xiangyang did the interrogation become much more detailed.

"General Hui, this is the son of the little elder, and he was previously the official of the Xiangyang County Government." Lao Li nodded and pulled his son over with a smiling face, "The dog happens to have a close friend in the Xiangyang garrison. ”

Lao Li's son saluted respectfully, and stammered a little cringely between his words: "Grass man Li Qiong has seen and seen the general...... The Wei army was unreasonable, and the grass people and their father felt that they were not opponents of the Han army......"

He probably meant that when the two saw that the situation was not good, they bribed their friends in the army and sold their money, and finally bought off the city gate chief and the team leader who was responsible for patrolling Xicheng that day.

Then he opened one eye and closed one eye, and let them out.

"Well......" The Han army general touched his chin, "I have heard that the full favor is strict in law enforcement, and it was famous when it was the county order of any county...... His subordinates were only greedy for small profits, so they let you out? ”

Li Qiong was shocked, she didn't expect that any low-level general of the Jingzhou Army would know so many things.

How did he know that the person on the other side was Zhao Lei, who had followed Guan Yu and Jing Xiang's Wei army for so many years, how could he not know the background of the other party's main general.

"Returning to the general's words, it is because of the full envoy...... cough, it is precisely because of the strict behavior of the full favor and the lack of affection on weekdays that there are actually a lot of complaints among the Wei army. Li Qiong said.

Lao Li also said: "Yes, general, not to mention that Xiao Lao and the others are just a few ordinary grass people, if there are more or less, who cares." We waited for the fertile fields to be burned and the houses to be burned......

"How can Wei Jun care about me waiting for me to live or die? Caomin and others had heard of the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and General Guan was also loyal and loving to the people, so they took risks. ”

Zhao Lei nodded, and then gave up, and then asked a few questions about the troops, grain and grass, garrison, city overview, and so on in Xiangyang City.

Most of these people were forcibly relocated by the Wei army from counties and villages other than Xiangyang, and it is not known.

However, Li Qiong, as a small official of Xiangyang County Government, would not be good if he didn't know if he asked three questions.

Originally, how to answer the full favor has been explained, so it is natural to blow the situation in Xiangyang for the better, and it is best to make Han Jun feel that he will not be able to gnaw this hard bone in a few years.

However, Zhao Lei's understanding of Manzhong made Li Qiong vigilant.

If you really say that, if this Han army general notices something strange and doubts his identity, wouldn't it be because of a small loss?

So he just exaggerated a little on the basis of facts, and didn't dare to blow the into the sky.

"Well, it's very good, you have given up the thief and surrendered to the Han this time, and his heart is commendable." Zhao Lei walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "When our army captures Xiangyang, I should report to General Guan and let you continue to serve as the Xiangyang County Government." ”

Li Qiong was flattered and thanked him: "Thank you, General!" ”

"Hmm...... Ha~~ It's not early, so it's convenient for you to rest in this tent. Zhao Lei yawned, "If you have any difficulties, you can find the guards outside the tent, and you can't hang around in the camp if you have nothing to do." ”

Everyone felt that they had come to the right place, and the Han army would treat the people, which was much more beneficial than the Wei army, and they bowed down and thanked them.

Then Zhao Lei walked out of the camp tent amid everyone's thanks, but when he got out of the camp, the sleepiness on his face disappeared.

Zhao Lei, who walked away, shook his head slightly, and sneered in a low voice with some disdain: "Just this ability, I still learn from others to be meticulous!" Even the Zhao family in Gangneung was still inferior to ......"

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning the Han army also brought these people food rationed according to the head.

Although it was just a bowl of gruel, they could still take care of them when the two armies were fighting, and these people were moved...... Except for Li Qiong.

He seemed to drink the porridge calmly, looking a little restless.

I was going to take this opportunity to explore the Han army camp, but the guards were so tightly guarded that he couldn't sneak out at all.

The guards outside the tent were kind, but they were not allowed to go out.

This made him a little worried, and if he had come to great lengths, he would stay in this tent until the end of the war...... What's going on?

Where is Li Qiong, who is quite ambitious, willing to be a little official in Xiangyang, he finally won this opportunity, and he must seize it!

He threw up his head and drank the porridge, wiped his mouth and walked out of the tent.

"What?" Lao Li looked at his son blankly.

"I'll go to the toilet."

So he lifted the tent and went out.

Lao Li, who didn't know anything about his son's mission, didn't doubt that he had him, and continued to chat with others about the difference between the Han army and the Wei army.

The guards outside the tent saw Li Qiong come out, and this time they finally became a little impatient: "Why are you again?" Get back! If you don't know what to do, be careful to eat! ”

Li Qiong hurriedly bowed down and laughed, and said embarrassedly: "Master Jun, if it is not the grass people who deliberately violate the order, it is really ...... There is some urgency. ”

The guard pursed his lips and said angrily, "There are so many things. That is, our Majesty and General Guan, in exchange for the Wei army and the Wu army, will kill you a long time ago. ”

"Yes, yes...... His Majesty's benevolence and virtue are all grateful to the people. ”

"You go with him, go and come back quickly!" The guard waved his hand, and let one of them escort him to the latrine dug in the camp.

It's just that as soon as Li Qiong left, the guard gave another person a color, and the person immediately ran away......

Li Qiong was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she didn't dare to look around too blatantly along the way, but she still kept her head down as much as possible, and imprinted the layout of the Han army camp in her mind with her spare eyes.

But he didn't see where the grain and grass of the Han army were, and he didn't see where the huge stone carts were stored.

This harvest alone will not play a decisive role at all, and he will have to think of other ways to spy on some information or do something big.

In the simple thatched latrine, Li Qiong squatted on the pit a little melancholy.

But soon, a huge turning point unexpectedly fell from the sky and smashed on his head.

"General Guan, why are you here?"

Li Qiong, who was in the latrine, vaguely heard the words faintly coming from behind, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Guan yu?!
