Chapter 57 This is not over
Watching Diao Chan and Liu Yan's figures sink into the shadows, Zhou Cang asked worriedly: "Big leader, will the girl Liu Yan be in danger? Is that Diao Chan trustworthy?"
Ma Yue said nothing. This was indeed an adventure, but he had no choice. He had to bet! Just like a medicinal farmer discovered a thousand-year-old ancient ginseng on a cliff. He knew that hanging ropes might lead to death, but no one could resist that temptation. Ten of ten people would choose to take risks. Ma Yue had this kind of mentality.
Diao Chan will come to the door on her own initiative, which does seem absurd, but it is not impossible.
In ancient times, when officials were confiscated and exterminated their clans, most of the female relatives in the mansion would be detained as slaves. This is the origin of palace prostitutes, official prostitutes, camp prostitutes, etc. Whenever they entered this sect, they would become slaves for generations and prostitutes for generations, and would never be able to leave their ancestry. From then on, they would lose the power to marry and have children and be a normal woman. From then on, they could only rely on the door to laugh, be mature and mature, and they passed away alone after aging. This was sad and indescribable.
But people always have hopes, just like every man doesn’t want to be promoted and get rich every moment, and has a beautiful wife and concubine. These women also always dream of being a good woman, able to get married, and having children does not have to be a slave or a prostitute. If you have a choice, I believe that no woman is willing to be a prostitute.
However, the existence of the Han Empire forever deprived them of this power. Even if the new emperor ascended the throne and had a general amnesty for the world, all death row prisoners could be reborn, but they still could not escape their slavery! If they want to change their destiny, they must rely on changing dynasties and on another force to replace the Han Dynasty.
This is different from seeking and serving life. It is just a mutual use, that's all.
Moreover, Diao Chan and the prostitutes around her are far from a mature intelligence organization. They are just a group of like-minded prostitutes who are determined to change their destiny. Although Ma Yue is willing to cooperate, he doubts their actual abilities! Perhaps in Luoyang, through those dignitaries who like to miss the flowers, they can indeed master every move in the court. But in the chaotic Nanyang, the yards of the cities and counties have already closed down. What other news can they spy on?
Although Diao Chan tried her best to pretend to be confident and serious in front of Ma Yue, Ma Yue knew that it was just a bluff.
But then again, as long as Diao Chan can deliver the news from the court in time, it is enough! Just like this time, if Diao Chan could deliver the news of Yuan Shu leading 5,000 troops to the war in time, Ma Yue would not have been deceived by the Han army, would not have lost the more than 200 elite brothers in vain, nor would he miss the 2,000 military horses.
Ma Yue took a deep breath of air conditioning and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, let all the brothers go ashore and gather in the valley ahead."
Guan Hai said in a lost voice: "Boqi, the snow here has not melted, and there will be traces left when you go ashore."
Ma Yue said coldly: "There is no longer a trace of hiddenness. If Diao Chan is a spy of the Han army, then Yuan Shu will know our whereabouts immediately. It is meaningless to hide his traces! If Diao Chan was not a detailed work by the Han army, we should take action next. The lives of more than 200 brothers cannot be lost in vain. We must give Yuan Shu a painful lesson to the Han army and tell them that 800 bandits are not easy to mess with!"
Guan Hai said sternly: "Yes, it should have been like this long ago!"
Zhou Cang also shouted: "Yes, have a fight with the Han army, damn."
Ma Yue waved his hand and said sternly: "Go ashore!"
...
Western Hubei, Han army camp.
As Kuai Liang finished speaking, Wei He couldn't help but say, "Master Kuai, the more than a thousand bandits on the Jingling Mountain are not suspicious soldiers, but the main force of bandits."
Kuai Liang said: "Why is this?"
Wei He said: "Ma Yue's use of troops is very deceitful. He has always been invisible. In the battle of Fuyang-Sui County, this guy deliberately showed his flaws and acted as an ambushing the Nanyang army in Fuyang. However, our army was waiting for more than a day, and eight hundred bandits rushed to Sui County for a long distance. When we suddenly realized it and thought we had a trap, we quickly drove the army to rescue Sui County, the eight hundred bandits suddenly killed another horse and shot Fuyang in one fell swoop."
Kuai Liang said: "What is the meaning of the foot? Are eight hundred bandits abandoning their bodies on the road deliberately revealing their flaws?"
Wei He said: "It's not impossible."
Yuan Shu frowned and said, "This is very difficult, the reality is difficult to predict, what should I do?"
Kuai Liang sighed, "It's a pity that my brother is not here, otherwise he would have been able to see Ma Yue's intentions."
Yuan Shu said: "Forget it, all the troops should not move without any movement. They will guard their base camps. Then they will send probes to strictly monitor the bandits in Jingshan, but if there is any abnormal movement, they will report it immediately."
"Abide by the order!"
Li Yan agreed and took the order.
Huang Zhong and Wei He returned to their garrison without mentioning them, and Jin Shang and Kuai Liang also dispersed.
...
In Chi County, Yihonglou is the largest trench courtyard in the area.
Two women in cloth dresses and hairpins came together. A group of unscrupulous boys saw the two women slim from behind, so they caught up with them and wanted to entangle them. They didn't want to turn to the front and take a look, but were suddenly shocked and fled in panic.
(PS: Readers must not have a fixed mindset, believing that women in ancient times could not show up. In fact, before the Ming Dynasty, it was normal for women to show up in public)
The two women walked around to the back door of Yihong Building and entered directly.
...
It was dawn and dark again, and Diao Chan and Liu Yan finally returned smoothly.
"He Zhen left Zhixian County this morning and set out to return to Luoyang. 500 Han troops were escorted by him. According to the itinerary, he should be stationed in Luyang tonight."
"Yuan Shu's army may be stationed in Xi'e or Wancheng."
Diao Chan told all the news he knew in just a few words.
"That's all?"
Ma Yue had expected it, but his face looked extremely disappointed.
"There is only this news." Diao Chan whispered, "The little girl knows most of the sisters in Luoyang, so it is easy to hear the movements in the court. However, Nanyang is affected by Yellow Turban bandits, and most of the yards have been closed. Many sisters have been displaced and lost contact, so it is not so easy to spy on the news."
Ma Yue said calmly: "Forget it, the girl will not really think that eight hundred bandits can sweep the world, nor will she really think that you are omnipotent. We are just a group of bandits, you are just a group of geishas. Since they are both people who cannot tolerate the sufferings of the Han Empire, they should naturally help each other. Girl, Ma Yue believes in you."
Diao Chan said happily: "Did the leader agree to this?"
Ma Yue smiled calmly and said, "The girl doesn't really think that the eight hundred bandits can capture the world, right?"
Diao Chan said in a narrow voice: "It is better to have hope than nothing, what do you think of the big leader?"
"That's right!" Ma Yue hugged his head, turned around and shouted sternly, "Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, gather the brothers together immediately."
Guan Hai, Zhou Canghu roared and took the order and left.
In just a moment, the remaining 800 bandits had already gathered. Apart from the more than a hundred people taken away by Pei Yuanshao, the rest were still around 800 people here. After cruel murder and robbery, cruel transformation, and fierce battles, the eight hundred bandits had quickly transformed from a group of farmers into a group of desperate people. In terms of mental state, they had completely met Ma Yue's standards for evil wolfs, but they still lacked some in military literacy, but it took a long time of arduous training and could not be rushed.
Ma Yue jumped onto a rock, his expression was frosty, standing like a mountain. All the bandits widened their eyes and held their breath and stared at their great leader quietly. In the deep valley, only the cold mountain wind echoed Ma Yue's cold and sonorous voice.
"In Chi County, we were placed in a row by the Han army, and the hostages were released. The horses were not caught, and we also lost more than 200 brothers in vain! You guys, isn't that the matter just forgot?"
"It can't be counted!"
"Kill all the damn Han troops and avenge the dead brothers!"
"Catch those hostages back and boil them into lamp oil and light them!"
As Ma Yue incited a few words, the bandits shouted, even the cold air could not extinguish the burning wild murderous intent in their hearts.
Ma Yue suddenly raised his right arm, and the howls of the bandits stopped abruptly as if they were cut off by a knife. Ma Yue's cold and sonorous voice sounded again in the valley: "Yes, you can't forget it! If you have revenge, you will get revenge, and if you have revenge, we 800 bandits are not made of mud and paper. If anyone provokes us, even if he is the Emperor, he will still twist his head."
"It's a man, spitting is all about nails! This is not over!"
"The same thing, brothers, I pulled my legs apart and ran hard. I will see you a hundred miles away before dawn. No one of them will be heard?"
"I heard it!"
The bandits responded with howling wolves.
