Chapter 1184

For Shi Alai, it's not too difficult to get information in Bingzhou. In those years, he lived with his master Wang Yue in Bingzhou for many years, and his style of speaking and doing things is basically the same as that of the local people in Bingzhou. In addition, as a person in charge of intelligence, he has already prepared several different identities for himself to use. Therefore, he has made progress in getting information from his family and Gaodu It went very well.

When Shi a arrived at the gate of the eldest son's city, it was already a little dark. Seeing that the gate was about to close, Shi a quickly took a few steps. As he walked, he took out a guide from his arms and handed it to Zhao Junzu at the gate. The soldier looked at Shi A's guide and Shi a, then pointed to a box beside him and said: "ten Wen

Shi ah understood and said with a strong Bingzhou accent: "thank you, bingye!" As he spoke, he took out ten Wen from his arms and put it in the box next to the soldier. The soldier listened to his accent, nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to him and said, "go in! Next

A big man behind Shi'a came in, and the soldiers took his guide and examined it carefully.

The eldest son city is the county city of Shangdang county. However, because Bingzhou is only better than Liangzhou in the fourteen states of the Han Dynasty, plus Bingzhou, even the county city such as the eldest son city is only a little better than other counties in the Central Plains.

After entering the city, Shi a didn't immediately go to find the stronghold of shadow guard in the city. Instead, he found a restaurant in the street, sat in front of the window and ordered a table of wine and vegetables. He was not in a hurry to eat, while carefully observing the situation around him. At the same time, he was listening to the voices of the people in the hall downstairs.

Half an hour later, Shia finished his dinner. Then he found an inn near the south gate and settled down. After entering the room, he took a bath, then climbed to bed.

These days, he has been running around. He led the people to live in the wild for such a long time. He finally swaggered into the city. There's no reason why he didn't have a good rest. You know, he had a day's rest in the tavern for both he and Gao Du. Then he continued to search for information.

As a veteran spy, Shi a knows what he should do at what time. After a day's rest, the next morning, Shi'a was full of energy and wandered around the city. On the surface, he looks around aimlessly, but in fact, every place he walks through has a reason.

He had already understood the general layout of the eldest son City: in the north of the city are the residence of Taifu, Duwei and a group of officials and rich gentry. Behind the Taishou and Duwei, there is a military camp, which is a small military camp. The big military camp of the eldest son city is located in the southwest corner of the city. The south city is basically the area where merchants and markets are located, while the East and West cities are ordinary Residential areas for people.

According to the original information provided by the shadow, there are 12000 soldiers in the eldest son's city, including 5000 soldiers, 5000 soldiers of ordinary prefectures and countries, all of which are infantry soldiers. In addition, there are 1000 personal soldiers of the Taishou Zhang Yang and the Duwei Hao Meng, all of which are ordinary sword and shield cavalry soldiers.

It seems that there are a lot of 12000 troops, but according to the establishment of the Tang army, there are only 10000 garrison soldiers in the county city, that is to say, there are 10000 ordinary soldiers in the county city. In addition, there are at least two or three battalions stationed in the county city, so there are 20000 or 30000 troops, more than double the number of Shangdang. However, the scale of Shangdang is only the size of Zhongxian County in the Central Plains. If there are more than 10000 soldiers and horses guarding the city, there are still plenty of them.

At noon, Shi a didn't go back to the restaurant near his hotel for dinner, but came to a restaurant near Duwei's residence in the north of the city. Halfway through the meal, Shi a suddenly heard several voices coming from a private room on the second floor.

"Brother Chen, it's said that the king is going to lead the troops to clean up the Xianbei dog thieves on the grassland to avenge last year's revenge. Is it true or not?"

"Yes, brother Chen has acquaintances in Jinyang. You must know about this? Let's talk to the brothers! "

"Well, it's good. Today's wine is wrapped in someone. Brother Chen just drinks happily..."

Although several people's words were not very loud, Shi a listened to them one by one. When he heard them talking about Lv Bu, Shi a listened attentively and quietly.

"Well, since you brothers have a heart, I'll give you some information quietly." It should be the man called brother Chen who spoke. As soon as he spoke, the rest of the people immediately shut up.

Seeing this, General Chen lowered his voice a little, and then said, "it is said that the king really intends to send troops outside the Great Wall, and general Wei also supports the king's opinion. However, the prime minister and general Zhang suggest that the two counties of Wuyuan Shuofang should be pacified first, and then the country should be stabilized, and then the upper county and Hexi should be pacified southward, and the whole Bingzhou should be brought under the rule of our great Zhao, We'll send troops out of the Great Wall again. "

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, the speaker laughed, and then said: "finally, the king decided to send troops to drive out Xianbei people in the grassland. Then when the king sent troops, he quietly mobilized soldiers to the clouds, and when the king returned to the army, he wiped out the two counties in one fell swoop.""To what extent will the king send troops to the grassland?" One of them asked;

"it is said that the king wanted to drive the Xianbei dog thieves to the deep grassland four or five hundred miles away, but after the prime minister's persuasion, the king finally narrowed the scope to two hundred miles, that is to say, all the Xianbei dog thieves within the two hundred miles would be killed." The general surnamed Chen said at the end with a chill in his voice, but everyone was very happy to hear it. They all gnashed their teeth and yelled in a low voice for revenge.

Shi a didn't expect that he would be so lucky to hear such secret news. It seems that the general surnamed Chen has someone in the Zhao court in Jinyang, and his status is not low. Otherwise, he would not have got such detailed information.

When Shi a was going to continue to listen, the topic of all the people in the hall changed again. No one mentioned military and political affairs any more. However, some people envied that the cavalry who could follow the king could take the opportunity to get something back from the grassland. After confirming that there was no more useful information to eavesdrop on, Shia had a quick lunch and left the restaurant.
