Lin Yaqin looked at Princess Suyi's pale face, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "You are now waiting for sin. Even if you want to return to the country, there is nothing you can do, so don't think too much."

Princess Suyi has been released from prison and regained her freedom. Even if Lin Yaqin is watching by her side, it is just a show. She can escape at any time if she wants, but she must bear the consequences of escape. This is something Princess Suyi is not willing to do.

seen.

Princess Suyi could only watch helplessly as the army went out to fight, unable to do anything.

Yang Bo doesn't care too much about the negotiation with Princess Suyi. He feels that Princess Suyi is lying to him. A person who cherishes his life like Lord Chen will definitely bring the key with him. He wants to capture Lord Chen with his own hands and get the key.

It would take at least three days to get to the border from Fengdu. Yang Bo was slow and did not arrive at Linhai City, the southern border city, until noon on the fifth day.

Linhai City is just a small city with a limited garrison, and there is no room for an influx of 200,000 troops.

Part of the army could only be stationed outside the city, building walls, digging trenches, and building military camps.

It was very hot outside, and Yang Bo called the local garrison soldier Baiyinlishi Miao Yu in front of him.

Miao Yu's attitude was respectful and he looked very reserved. He bowed and saluted: "I've seen the general!"

Yang Bo nodded, "You don't have to be polite, Lieutenant Miao. You have been stationed in Linhai City for more than ten years. You must know Chen Guo very well. I want to know something about you!"

Miao Yu hurriedly said: "General, if you have an order, just tell me. I will tell you everything you know!"

Yang Bo waved his hand, "No need to be so formal, it's just a few common questions."

"In total, it has been seven days since I declared war in Fengdu, and it has been six days since the army left Fengdu. You should have received the notice in Linhai City these days, right? What preparations does Chen Guo have on the opposite side?"

Miao Yu nodded, "Since the evening of the second day after the general declared war, I have received news via carrier pigeons. I believe there should be news sent to Chen Guo."

"In the past two days, I have been observing the situation in the opposite city. It seems that they only received the news two days ago. The gate has begun to be closed and people are not allowed to go out."

"We also have a small number of troops stationed in Xihai City opposite. There has been no news in the past two days, but I have never seen a large army stationed!"

Yang Bo looked over with surprise on his face, "There is no army stationed. Have they given up?"

Miao Yu quickly introduced: "Xihai City is surrounded by mountains on both sides. The entire city is built in the valley between the two mountains. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they really sent additional troops from the other side of the valley, it would be difficult for us to detect it.

of!"

"Our two countries have been at peace for a long time. The defense of Xihai City is lax, but recently the defense has become much tighter than before. I guess there should be a large army stationed on the opposite side. Of course, this is just my guess!"

Yang Bo nodded slightly. It could be seen that Miao Yu was a very cautious person. He first told what he saw and then his guesses. There was no loophole in his answer.

But Yang Bo was not satisfied with this answer. For him, whether there would be reinforcements on the opposite side must be determined in advance, which involves a series of layout issues!

Yang Bo then asked, "Have you sent a small force to harass and test?"

Miao Yu was stunned. Ever since he received the order and knew that Yang Bo was going to fight in person, he had been doing sanitation and preparing for the garrison. What was there to test?

Seeing that Miao Yu didn't answer, Yang Bo then asked: "I also saw the mountains on both sides of Xihai City. The mountains are very high and steep, but I think there must be mountain people nearby who often go up the mountains to cut firewood and collect herbs.

?”

"Have you ever thought about whether you can find a mountain man who is familiar with the terrain and send a small force to investigate?"

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Before we go to war, we must understand each other's strength, right?"

Miao Yu felt aggrieved. He was so busy before, how could he have time to do this? Now that the reception is ready, he didn't expect Yang Bo to make higher demands!

However, Miao Yu still nodded, "Okay, then I will send someone to investigate tomorrow!"

Yang Bo shook his head, "Send someone over now. It's best to climb to the mountainside before dark, so that you can observe the smoke from the opposite side!"

Miao Yu immediately realized that if there were really more troops stationed on the opposite side, there would definitely be more smoke from cooking fires at night. This is indeed a good idea!

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!" Miao Yu said quickly.

He originally thought that Yang Bo was giving blind orders and would only assign tasks to him. Now that Yang Bo directly gave him a solution, he was filled with admiration!

Yang Bo nodded and responded, "Go ahead and be careful. Tomorrow's plan depends on your investigation!"

"Don't worry, General, I will go and investigate in person!" Miao Yu said quickly.

Miao Yu ordered a few men and hurried out of the city. He had been stationed here for many years and there were hunters he was familiar with. He rushed over and took the hunters with him into the mountains.

After Yang Bo arranged everything properly, he went out of the city to look at the military camps stationed outside the city. Fortunately, the Qin army had strict discipline and the soldiers arranged the military camps in a very orderly manner.

There is sufficient distance between each tent, and there is also a strict patrol system to prevent enemy troops from attacking the camp.

Yang Bo had dinner with the soldiers before returning to Linhai City, while Gong Yu stayed in the military camp outside the city.

When entering the city, Yang Bo turned to look at Chang Gong Fei beside him and asked curiously: "Why is this city called Linhai City? The opposite side is called Xihai City. Is there a sea here?"

Long Gongfei said: "After passing through Xihai City, there is a vast sea. Xihai City is the most important line of defense for Chen State. After passing through Xihai City, Chen State is boundless!"

Yang Bo asked curiously: "The West Sea is very big? It has no edge? Is the sea water salty?"

Chang Gongfei was stunned by Yang Bo's series of questions. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Salty? I haven't tasted this before, but it should have no taste!"

"The West Sea is very large. Chen State was built around the West Sea. Around the West Sea, there are a large number of fishermen who rely on the West Sea for survival!"

"The capital of Chen State is also on the West Sea. It is a warm city with spring-like weather all year round. We call it Spring City!"

Yang Bo nodded. He originally thought that this secret realm also had a sea, but he didn't expect that their sea was actually just a freshwater lake. In the outside world, there are also places that call big lakes Haizi!

The two returned to the camp, and as soon as they sat down, Miao Yu came in.

"What's the result?" Yang Bo asked.

Miao Yu bowed and saluted, "The general knows things well. I carefully observed their cooking smoke. It is indeed much richer than usual, and a lot of the cooking smoke comes from the military camp!"
