Ma Yue said: "However, how do you convey the message? I, the eight hundred bandits, have no roots and no basis, and have been fighting around all year round. How can I get the information I need in a hurry?"

Diao Chan said: "The big leader does not have to doubt it, the little woman has her own concerns."

Ma Yue said unyieldingly: "What plan?"

Diao Chan smiled sweetly and said, "When the leader decides the world, the little woman will tell her."

Ma Yue felt cold in his heart. He didn't dare to completely believe this woman who called herself Diao Chan. How could Diao Chan have completely believed in the eight hundred bandits? For fear that the eight hundred bandits would be defeated, Ma Yue would give Diao Chan a little, which would harm those sisters who were hiding in the dust. Ma Yue's thoughts flashed in his mind and began to quickly weigh the pros and cons.

What Diao Chan said is basically credible. There have been too many secret information throughout the ages and the present, which were leaked from the two mouths of women. It is the best choice to use palace prostitutes, official prostitutes, and camp prostitutes to collect information, which is far better than any other form of intelligence collection method.

What Ma Yue doubted was how these geishas submitted the collected information to Diao Chan's case, how Diao Chan classified the information and sorted out useful information from it, and then sent the information to the people or forces she wanted to help. Ma Yue believed that Diao Chan was not the only one who helped by the 800 bandits.

Intelligence is extremely important for an army. It is especially important for an 800 bandits who are wandering around, fighting their lives anytime and anywhere, and will lose all their lives in one battle.

Thinking about the reason why the heroic army in later generations was able to travel tens of thousands of miles and escape the heavy blockades of tens of millions of enemy troops, the courage and killing of the soldiers of the three armies was important, and the leader's judgment of the situation and wise decisions were important, but this was based on a large amount of top-secret information.

If there were no large number of intelligence workers who sacrificed their lives and earned a large amount of top-secret information from the enemy at the cost of their lives, even if they were wise leaders or brave soldiers, they would not be able to create such a great miracle.

But Ma Yue had to wonder whether this was another trick set by the Han army! If Diao Chan was a detailed work of the Han army, she even needed to provide a small false information to kill eight hundred bandits. The risks in this were so great that it was unbearable. Eight hundred bandits were like adventurers walking on tightropes, and any negligence could lead to a catastrophe.

Diao Chan seemed to see Ma Yue's concern and said calmly: "Is the big leader worried that the little woman was a detailed work by the Han army?"

Ma Yue smiled coldly and said in a silence: "You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others."

"You must be careful about others?" Diao Chan's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "What a sharp remark from the leader!"

Ma Yue said, "I wonder what girl has to do to reassure me?"

Diao Chan asked back without answering, "I wonder what news the leader wants to know the most?"

Ma Yue said: "The movements of Yuan Shu's army, the movements of Huang Zhong, Wei He and other troops in Nanyang army, and where He Zhen went."

Diao Chan said: "There are camp prostitutes, Zhixian County, and Wancheng in Yuan Shu's army. The chief can condemn the confidant people who follow me to Zhixian County. I will find out soon."

Ma Yue pondered for a moment, turned his eyes to Liu Yan, and said, "Liu Yan, you accompany Miss Diao Chan to Zhi County."

Liu Yan's heart trembled when she heard this, and glanced at Ma Yue in disbelief. She was surprised and thought that Ma Yue was not a sarcastic heart after all, and she still regarded her as a caring person in her heart. Otherwise, how could she not ask others to accompany Diao Chan to Zhi County? Liu Yan's heart was sweet, and she replied affectionately: "Abide by the order."

Seeing this, Ma Yue frowned, pulled down his face and said in a deep voice: "Ten miles ahead is Lao Ya's mouth. You are there to get ashore. After finding the news, you can return the same way, so naturally someone will answer."

...

When the new prefect and General Yuan Shu of the Hu Ben was summoned, Huang Zhong and Wei He did not dare to neglect the matters, so they quickly arranged the city defense matters and led their personal responsibilities to the Han army camp in the West Hubei to meet Yuan Shu. Huang Zhong and Wei He were both from the army and had no family background and no fame. Although they were quite brave and had been trusted by Qin Jie, they were just general volunteer soldiers.

Yuan Shu was not as enthusiastic as Jin Shang, Kuai Liang, Li Yan and others. After all, Yuan Shu was born in a famous family, and his views were deeply rooted in his family. He had an instinctive contempt for people from common people.

Huang Zhong and Wei He stepped forward and said loudly: "See General."

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said calmly: "The bandits in Nanyang are in rebellion, and Qin Jie's command is not effective, which leads to the defeat in the past. Now he is the general of the commander of the army, and he is in charge of the prefect, and comes to fight against the bandits under the emperor's order. I hope the two of you will help each other."

Huang Zhong and Wei He were both honest people. Seeing that Yuan Shu was so indifferent, he reluctantly bowed and responded: "I dare not obey orders."

Yuan Shu said: "You can lead your headquarters to defend the city. Without this general's order, you must not attack easily, so as not to give 800 bandits to take advantage of the opportunity."

"Affect the order."

As he was talking, Li Yan stepped forward and said to Yuan Shu: "General, the horse exploration has just returned. Eight hundred bandits have already gone to Jingshan and are logging wood to camp and preparing to spend the night."

It’s Jingshan again!

Huang Zhong and Wei He changed their faces instantly.

"Jingshan?"

Yuan Shu's expression moved and rushed to the Nanyang topographic map. Jin Shang, who was standing on the side, and Kuai Liang also surrounded him. Yuan Shu reached out and took a heavy beating on the silk map, saying, "It's this."

Jin Shang was overjoyed and said, "General, eight hundred bandits can be defeated!"

Yuan Shu said: "Why did Yuan Xiu say this?"

Jin Shang said: "Although Jingshan is steep, it is a lonely peak, only a dozen miles in a radius. Only thousands of elite soldiers can be surrounded on all sides. Eight hundred bandits stationed on the mountain without any way to go. Wouldn't they become a turtle in the jar? At that time, there is no need to fight, just trap and win without fighting."

Kuai Liang looked at the eyebrows for a long time, shook his head and said in confusion: "When Ma Yue uses military force, it is not like such a person who is unscheming, how could he come up with this inferior strategy and go to the dead of the land! If he wanted to defend the mountain, why did he abandon Wancheng again? Isn't Wancheng a hundred times better than Jingshan? Why didn't he defend Wancheng but Jingshan alone?"

Huang Zhong on the side finally couldn't bear it and shouted: "General, I'm afraid there is a fraud!"

Jin Shang frowned and retorted: "Rewards from exploring the horse, eight hundred bandits have already been stationed on the mountain, why are they cheating?"

Huang Zhong said: "The thief chief Ma Yue is best at concealing the world. In the battle of Fuyang-Sui County, Ma Yue took over the people in the city and thought he was suspicious of his soldiers and deceived his former Grand Guard Qin. When we thought the bandit army was still not far from Fuyang, Ma Yue stood out and attacked Sui County in one fell swoop! The situation in Jingshan is also quite suspicious."

Jin Shang said angrily: "There are so many young and strong bandits who wear thick armor and hold swords and spears in their hands. How can the people make up? It's simply nonsense!"

"this……"

Huang Zhong was speechless.

Yuan Shu walked back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back, he was hesitant and difficult to decide. According to his original intention, he wanted to expel 800 bandits as a front post and swept across the two states of Jingyang. He led the Han army to follow him, took the opportunity to take over the territory and intercept the trustees. When the Han Dynasty was exhausted and the world was in chaos, and the heroes rose up, he would use Jingyang's crowd to sweep the world, and then he could achieve hegemony.

However, eight hundred bandits entrenched in Jingshan and fell into desperate situations, but they were beyond his expectations. If they did not take advantage of the situation and deliberately chased them, they would only be afraid that their subordinates would be suspicious! And if they missed the opportunity to defeat the thief, they would easily lead to dissatisfaction with the soldiers under their command. If this matter was spread to Luoyang, the castrated person would inevitably instigate the instigation, and they would also be afraid that the emperor would be angry. What should we do?

Yuan Shu was really in a dilemma. It was not his wish to suppress it. If he didn't suppress it, it might be difficult to block the crowd.

When Yuan Shu was in a dilemma, Li Yan suddenly said in a low voice: "General, I accidentally discovered something strange when I explored the horse."

Yuan Shu stopped, turned around and asked suddenly, "Come on."

Li Yan said: "Along Baishui, we went south to Jingshan, and 800 bandits abandoned their bodies on the road, with dozens of people! The bodies left behind were mostly traumatized, some were crippled with arrows, and some were crippled with swords. The death was quite tragic, which seemed to be caused by fire inside the bandits, which was really suspicious."

When Kuai Liang heard this, his heart was shocked and he shouted: "General, the bandits in the mountains must be undoubtedly suspected!"

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and suddenly there was a feeling of darkness and brightness. Jin Shangze frowned and said unhappy: "Why is Brother Zirou so sure?"

Kuai Liang said: "Eight hundred bandits are elite troops, and their hearts must be consistent. How can they be combined with fire? This must be because Ma Yue carries the people of Wancheng wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, thinking that they are suspicious of soldiers. The people escape from the road and fail to escape, but instead kill them. Therefore, they abandon the body on the road. This group of suspected soldiers is to confuse the public, and they expect that the main force of the bandits has already gone."
