Youzhou, eighty miles west of Hulucheng, Baishagou

This is an inconspicuous small abandoned village in Youzhou, with some dilapidated houses along both sides of a small ditch that has long since dried up.

The land in Liangyou is barren, and there are countless small villages like this, some of which are nestled in the ravines and gorges, unknown to anyone.

Some people settled here a few years ago. Later, due to the establishment of Shuozhou, thousands of acres of fertile farmland were added. The people here moved to Shuozhou to cultivate wasteland. The acres of land there were enough for them to live a good life with enough food.

Over time, the villages here have become so deserted, and coupled with the remote location, no one will come to this place at all.

The deserted Baishagou had a strange movement today, as hundreds of uninvited guests occupied these houses.

In the dense forest on both sides of the village, there are some people wearing ordinary people's clothes looking around and acting sneakily.

A sharp scimitar hung from their waist.

In a courtyard in the middle, there were a few figures sitting. Shentu Xing, who secretly sneaked into Beiliang from the border a few days ago, was among them.

Sitting on his left and right were Lu Laitu, the leader of the Yan army's spies in Youzhou, and Kan'er Shenchen, the leader of Liangzhou. These two were responsible for all the spies of the Yan army in Beiliang, and they were hidden.

The two of them have been lurking in Liangdi for several years. In terms of language and clothing, they are almost the same as the people in the Central Plains. They are also very familiar with the local customs and customs. They can be called Liangdi.

Wentiansi's spies were constantly infiltrating into the grassland, and the Yan people were not idle either, trying every possible means to find out the news about Liang Jun's interior.

The past two years have been difficult for Lulaitu and Kan'er Shenchen. The two armies are at war, and Wentiansi is patrolling the entire territory.

As a result, Yan Jun's spies could only huddle up cautiously and pass on some insignificant information without any pain.

Every now and then, Wentiansi would catch one of his spies, cut him in half, and feed the body to the dogs.

If it weren't for the arrival of Shentu Xing, these two guys would not dare to show their presence in Youzhou, for fear of becoming the target of the Liang army.

"You two, how many of your people are here?"

Shentu Xing looked at the two spy leaders expressionlessly. The group of dead soldiers he brought were the main force, and their spies were to assist them in their work.

Lu Laitu glanced at Shentu Xing carefully and said softly:

"General, there are about three hundred people on both sides, which is almost all the manpower we can muster."

In order to gather manpower, Lu Laitu took out all the little miscellaneous fish that conveyed the news. After this battle, he will probably become the polished commander.

The two of them seemed a little nervous in front of Shen Tu Xing. People who can work as spies behind enemy lines must not be afraid of death. But for some reason, Shen Tu Xing's cold face and cold tone made them feel scared.

"There are more than three hundred people, it's barely enough."

Shentu Xing said lightly that he did not expect these people to be of much use.

These people are good at investigating information and lurking secretly, but when it comes to facing off against Liang Jun, these people are not worth looking at.

Once the location of Calabash City's granary is determined, it will inevitably be a deadly battle surrounded by siege.

The two looked at each other but didn't answer, and they didn't know whether Shen Tuxing was satisfied or dissatisfied.

"How is the investigation of the information on Calabash City going?"

"Back to the general, we have already figured out the terrain in the city. There are several places where large granaries may be located, but there are soldiers guarding them nearby, so our people cannot get close to conduct reconnaissance.

However, in recent years, grain trucks and ordnance have often been transferred from Hulu City. My subordinates speculated that there is a granary in the city.

After the expiration date, we will start from several suspicious areas and we will definitely be able to find out the location of the granary!"

"Nine times out of ten there is a granary, so why hasn't it been reported?"

Shentu Xing stared at Lu Laitu coldly, making him tremble subconsciously.

"It was my subordinate's dereliction of duty. I will definitely apologize to Lord Zhao Ping after I return to the grassland."

Lu Laitu's face was full of bitterness. Who knew that the Yan army wanted to sneak into the interior and burn the Liang army's granary? Their spies were either concentrated on the front lines such as Tianlang Pass and Wuguan, or in central areas such as Liangzhou City and Youzhou City.

.

Hulu City is really not that eye-catching.

Moreover, the Right Cavalry Army had been stationed here in the past, tens of thousands of people, and spies of the Yan Army did not dare to come easily.

"Okay, this general didn't come all the way here to ask you to accuse me."

Shentu Xing said calmly:

"As long as this matter is taken care of, you will have no more sins. From now on, you can follow me back to the grassland. Your Majesty has prepared high-ranking officials and generous salaries for you, so you don't need to live a hard life here~"

The two people's eyes suddenly lit up. They really didn't want to live such a miserable life in Liangdi.

Lu Laitu asked energetically:

"The two of us will do our best to serve His Majesty! General, just do as you ask!

Should we leave for Calabash City immediately?"

"No!"

Shentu Xing shook his head and said coldly:

"Leave me thirty spies who are familiar with the terrain of Hulu City. You two will take the rest to Youzhou City."

"Um, going to Youzhou City?"

The two of them were stunned at the same time: "Didn't you go to Gourd City to burn the granary? Why did you go to Youzhou?"

Shentu Xing said lightly:

"So many people sneaking into Hulu City on a large scale will inevitably attract the attention of the Liang army, so it is enough for General Ben to go to Hulu City.

You two, go to Youzhou City, set fire to kill people, create chaos, attract the attention of Liang Jun, and give me two days to make arrangements in Hulu City~

Do you understand?"

According to Shentu Xing's speculation, the information about his entry card was probably discovered by Liang Jun, which meant that Liang Jun was looking for him.

At this time, Lu Laitu and his two brothers were creating disturbances in Youzhou City, which became their best cover.

After all, it takes time to sneak into Hulu City to deploy an attack plan and find out what's going on in the city. Don't let Liang Jun come looking for you because of the smell, otherwise the success will be in vain.

Ruraitu and Kan'er swallowed deeply. They understood what he said about the punishment of slaughter, and what he said made sense.

But.

Just two or three hundred of them went to Youzhou City to cause riots, and it was almost impossible to survive~

this……

"Ahem, general, general."

Lu Laitu hesitated, but still did not dare to refuse.

Shentu Xing's face turned cold:

"What's the matter, are you afraid of death?

Raising troops for a long time, using them for a while, how have we, a man on the grassland, ever been afraid?

This general has said that if this happens, the two of you will definitely rise to the top in the officialdom in the future! Your glory and wealth will be inexhaustible!"

Shentu was tortured with a big stick and a temptation, which made the two of them stunned for a moment.

The two gritted their teeth and shouted in unison:

"Promise! I will obey the general's orders!"

Go ahead. If you don't go to the massacre today, I'm afraid you'll fall out.

"good."

A smile finally appeared on Shentu Xing's lips:
Chapter completed!
