My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2267 The Eve of Siege
Taiping three years on July [-]th.

The Western Expeditionary Army has spent more than half of the month-long rest outside the city of Jistan.

During this period, hundreds of thousands of troops carried out military drills step by step every day to adapt to the local water, soil and climate.

Before the Western Expedition, although the complexions of the soldiers did not look white and tender, they were much fairer than they are now.

Today, the complexion of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is like bronze, full of masculinity.

In this short period of more than half a month, the soldiers and horses of various ministries successively detained more than 30 caravans coming and going.

Ninety percent of the caravans were from Dashi, the teams from India and India going to the Western Regions for trade, and the other [-]% were caravans from Rome and Egypt.

It's a pity that no matter whether it's the soldiers of these great dragons, the soldiers of the Western Regions, or even the caravan guards temporarily recruited to accompany the army, they don't know anything about what the leaders of the caravans in Rome and Egypt said.

In order to prevent the traces of the Western Expeditionary Army from being exposed, Nangong Ye and the others did not abuse the merchants from various countries in the thirty-way caravan, but they also imprisoned their freedom.

In addition, they sent soldiers from the Western Regions who knew the Dashi Kingdom and Tianzhu dialect to go to the caravan in the detention camp to inquire about the situation of the two countries.

However, the businessmen from several countries who had already been terrified by the tens of miles of 80 military camps revealed very little useful information.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, many generals gathered together.

Zhang Kuang threw the stack of rice paper in his hand onto the table.

"Everyone, our scouts who disguised themselves as a caravan and went to Jistan City have sent back the first batch of information.

According to the information they obtained by luring the big cannibals in the city with a lot of money, the number of defenders in Jistan City is about 40, and the owner of the city is a guy named Aigla, who is about [-] years old.

It is said that he is an old man who loves beauty and is insatiable.

As for how the [-] guards divided the elite soldiers and the number of auxiliary soldiers, due to the problem of language communication, the scout brothers did not investigate in detail. Knife
There's only so much we can find out right now.

Now the scout brothers have left the city of Jistan, and continue their in-depth investigation towards Mulu city and Khorasan city further west.

If there is no accident, the second batch of information should reach us before we finish our rest and formally march into Jistan City.

The general information is above, please pass it around and have a look. "

Several people took a piece of rice paper and gathered together to carefully examine the information on it.

After a long time, many generals sneered one after another: "Shuai Zhang, a big border city like Jistan has only [-] troops, and the strength of this big food in black is not very good!"

"The last general also thinks so. If there are only [-] troops, our army may not need the main force of the Chinese army to take the city of Jistan. Our vanguard troops are enough to destroy the city!"

Nangong Ye handed the rice paper in his hand to Wanyan Chizha, and glared fiercely at the generals who underestimated the enemy.

"You haven't fought yet, how do you know the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Great Food Kingdom? Have you forgotten the reason why arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated?

Even if there are only [-] guards in the city of Jistan, you have to work hard when attacking the city with Zhang Shuai.

If anyone underestimates the enemy and increases the number of soldiers lost for no reason, this commander will replace Zhang Shuai and take care of your military law first. "

"Yes, I know I was wrong!"

Zhang Kuang was not dissatisfied because Nangong Ye Yuezu reprimanded his generals on his behalf, instead he nodded with satisfaction in his eyes.

Even if Nangong Ye hadn't spoken first, he would have reprimanded these generals who underestimated the enemy.

You must know that underestimating the enemy without reason is always a taboo for military strategists.

"Shuai Nangong, how is the situation on your side? Did the scouts who went to Tianzhu send back any news?"

Nangong Ye shook his head silently: "For the time being, no information has been sent back, but this is also an excusable matter.

Our location is too far away from the border city of Zara in Tianzhu, and we have to bypass the border city of Tocharo in the southwest of Dashi Kingdom.

On the premise that they guarantee their own lives, I will be satisfied if they can pass back general information about Tianzhu before we officially divide our troops into the army to hunt down the thieves. "

Nodding wildly and clearly, he looked around at the generals in the tent for a week.

"You have read all the information, and for the rest of the time, we will continue to use the same two-pronged approach as before, while training our troops to adapt to the climate here, and at the same time sending scouts to investigate the intelligence of the two countries.

Until all the soldiers and horses fully adapted to the water and soil here, they immediately sent troops to attack the city. "

"We take orders."

"Let's continue training!"

"Decree! We will leave!"

In the time of cupping tea, the large tent of the Chinese army, which was crowded with people, was emptied in an instant, leaving only a few main commanders.

Hu Yanyu put the rice paper in his hand on the table: "The general feels that relying solely on the scouting brothers' investigation is not enough to understand the situation of the two countries.

The most important breakthrough is always the food we seized, the businessmen from the two countries of Tianzhu.

When they were first detained by us, they were flustered and could not speak clearly, so it is possible.

Now that so many days have passed, we have not done anything to embarrass them, and their minds should have calmed down long ago.

Therefore, General Mo suggested that in the next ten days, a breakthrough must be made on the businessmen of these two countries. "

Wanyan Chizha nodded in agreement: "This old man discussed this matter with King Rongwei in private.

It’s fine if we really can’t get any beneficial information because of the difficulty of language communication, but we have recruited so many caravan guards who understand the language of Dashi and Tianzhu, and we can’t get any more beneficial information from these merchants. It is our own problem.

The old man suggested, try to lure him first, if it doesn't work, use torture to threaten him.

They all came from the mainland of Dashi and Tianzhu, so it is impossible that they could not provide any useful information.

Dashi, the kings of Tianzhu and Tianzhu even killed their lives in order to snatch the gold and silver goods of our Dalong caravan people.

After we detained them, we did not behead them on the spot, which is already the best of humanity.

It's all right to confess honestly, otherwise, apart from the dead, the old man doesn't believe that there are still mouths that cannot be pried open. "

Looking at Wanyan Chizha's fierce eyes, arrogant, Nangong Ye and the two looked at each other, with some hesitation in their eyes.

"What do you guys mean?"

"The old man seconded the Huyan Governor, the meaning of Deputy Marshal Wanyan.

After the initial panic, these barbarian caravans have calmed down a long time ago. If they can't ask any beneficial information, they are just pretending to be confused!

Once we're officially in, it's always a scourge to keep them.

After all, we are not as familiar with the terrain as they are. Once they take a shortcut and bring our news back to their court before our soldiers approach the city, our plan to surprise the two countries will be in vain!

The soldiers have a lot of torture masters, as long as they are stubborn, they have to make their lives worse than death if they don't kill them.

But just like Vice Marshal Wanyan said, try to lure him first, and if it doesn't work, use torture and threats. "

"The final general seconded the meaning of Governor Yun."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

A group of important generals all agreed, arrogant, Nangong Ye and the two hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly.

"Okay, let's do as I said just now, think of a way to get Tang Lushi and Shen Lushi, the military secretary and their deputy, drunk first at night, and then secretly take the detained businessman outside the camp.

As long as you can extract information, you can use any means. "

"What Zhang Shuai said is the worst outcome, if there are other ways to get them to provide information, try not to kill them.

Those involved in this matter must keep their mouths shut, otherwise it will be difficult for us to deal with the teachers in the future! "

"I understand!"
