Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 360 Spying (2)

"General Pei, how did you rest last night?" Pei Yuanqing got up in the morning, stretched himself, put on his armor, Zhong Yao came, and cupped his hands.

"When I woke up at dawn, I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time. I have Lao Zhong to take care of me!" Pei Yuanqing returned with cupped fists.

"Breakfast has been prepared, it's just a simple meal, I don't know if it suits General Pei's appetite." Zhong Yao said.

"I'm serving Lao Zhong. I'm waiting for a warrior, as long as I can fill my stomach." Pei Yuanqing laughed.

"General Pei, I don't know where this General Yuwen has gone? I haven't seen him in the morning." Zhong Yao looked around, but he couldn't see Yuwen Chengdu, so he thought he was wandering somewhere.

"He said yesterday that he was going to Chang'an to investigate the enemy's situation so that he could make a battle plan. He left Tongguan last night and went to Chang'an." Pei Yuanqing said.

"It turns out that this is the case, the prime minister is really far-sighted!" Zhong Yao said.

Pei Yuanqing was stunned. Yu Wencheng went to Chang'an to inquire about the enemy's situation. What did it have to do with the prime minister's foresight? He really didn't understand the meaning of Zhong Yao's words.

In fact, Zhong Yao misunderstood him. He thought that after Li Song sent Yu Wencheng to Tongguan, he went to Chang'an to inquire about the enemy's news, and then sent it back to Li Song to formulate a plan to deal with the Xiliang army.

But I don't know, it's just that Yu Wencheng made the decision without authorization, and he has nothing to do with Li Song at all. Besides, even if he wants to inquire about the enemy's situation, he doesn't need a general to go out in person. What's the use of raising so many spies.

The two of them are not talking nonsense, it is time for breakfast, Zhong Yao took Pei Yuanqing to eat, the morning meal is a big bowl of porridge, plus a plate of pickled vegetables, after all, there is not much food and grass, and Pei Yuanqing , Yu Wencheng and the [-] soldiers and horses they brought.

When I left in a hurry, I didn’t bring food and grass with the army, so I could only rely on Xuchang to transport food and grass. It’s pretty good to have these things to eat. .

Outside Chang'an City, Yu Wencheng took a few soldiers and hid in a cool place. Looking at Chang'an City from a distance, Chang'an City was under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

After many inquiries, he found that there were only 5 soldiers and horses left outside Chang'an City. Yu Wencheng was not sure whether there were 15 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, and he and others could not sneak into Chang'an, so he was at a loss for a while.

At this time, the person sent out came back to report, saying: "General! I just captured a Xiliang Army soldier, and learned from him that there are only [-] soldiers guarding Chang'an City."

"Then you can find out where the other 13 soldiers and horses went? Could it be that they have already gone to Tongguan, but that's not right! We came all the way from Tongguan, and we didn't see any traces of the enemy." Yu Wencheng said road.

13 soldiers and horses are not a small number. If they really go to Tongguan, they will definitely be very powerful. It is completely impossible to be silent, and I have no reason not to know.

"Don't hide it from the general! According to the Xiliang Army soldier, Ma Chao led the army towards Lantian." The man said.

"Going to Lantian? Do you know why you have to work so hard?" Yu Wencheng didn't understand. Ma Chao left Tongguan instead of attacking, but ran to Lantian instead. What is he going to do?
"It was said that Ma Chao wanted to win over Liu Xiongming's influence, but Liu Xiongming rejected it. Ma Chao became angry and led an army to Lantian to attack Liu Xiongming," the man said humanely.

"Tonight, follow me to spy on the situation of the enemy camp." Yu Wencheng said, Liu Xiongming in Lantian was the last force not to join forces with Ma Chao. factors are removed.

"No!" Everyone responded, waiting for dark, and went with Yu Wencheng to investigate the reality of the Xiliang Army outside Chang'an City.

Even if Ma Chao is not there, the strength of the Xiliang Army can be estimated from the situation of the enemy army outside Chang'an City.

At night, a bright moon hangs high above the sky. This kind of night is not suitable for killing, but it does not hinder the investigation of intelligence. Yu Wencheng and others put on night clothes and headed for the Xiliang army camp.

Everyone came to the outskirts of the camp and hid outside a tent. Relying on the cover of the tent to hide their bodies, everyone surrounded Yu Wencheng, and the few people on the outermost side faced outward, looking around vigilantly, acting as a warning.

"Everyone is a team of two, spread out, and carefully find out all the enemy's situation, including food, weapons, etc., and I will act alone." Yu Wencheng ordered in a low voice.

"General! You are too dangerous, you should bring the younger one!" said one of the guards. Although the rest of the guards did not speak, their eyes had already betrayed their hearts.

"No! If I'm alone, it's easy to get away. Here, as long as I want to leave, no one can stop me. It's easier for me to act alone." Yu Wencheng refused.

Everyone also felt that Yu Wencheng was right. With his skill, no one in this enemy camp could stop him.

"Also, once you find the enemy's food and grass, if you can burn it, you can burn it, if you can't, forget it, you must remember, you must be careful!" Yu Wencheng repeatedly urged, this time The action is not only to spy on the enemy's situation, but also to destroy the enemy's food and grass by the way, weakening the morale of the enemy's army to the greatest extent.

"Okay! That's it! Disperse!" Yu Wencheng gave an order, and everyone dispersed immediately, heading towards the Xiliang army barracks. Before leaving, he patted his companion in charge of security and asked him to leave with him.

Inside the Xiliang army camp, the charcoal fire in the brazier was crackling and burning. There were not only sentry posts in the camp, but also sergeants who were watching the night.

As soon as a group of sergeants on the night patrol passed by, two figures flashed by quickly, dodging to the side, waiting for the guards on the sentry post to turn around, and when they were checking the other side, they quickly passed by, looking for the enemy's whereabouts. Intelligence, find out the defense of the enemy camp.

In a tent, Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai is drinking and having fun with his confidant school staff!After getting drunk, he lay down on the ground staggered, even the sergeant guarding outside the tent was drunk and unconscious!

Yu Wencheng was all close to this camp, and after checking the situation here, he showed disdain. If Yu Wencheng took the opportunity to enter the camp and wiped out all these people, the Xiliang army would definitely be seriously injured!

pity!Yu Wencheng thought highly of himself and disdained assassination. Even Ma Chao disdained assassination, so naturally he disdained to play tricks on these guys, just wasting a great opportunity in vain.

Yu Wencheng left in a hurry, all those who wanted to be spied had already been spied clearly, the sky would soon be bright, there was no point in staying here, it was better to go back and prepare the army for war.
