After seeing Sable and Liu Yan's figure disappear into the shadows, Zhou Cang asked worriedly, "Chief, will Liu Yan's sister be in danger, and is that Sable trustworthy?"
Ma Yue was speechless, it was indeed a risk, but he had no choice, he had to gamble! Just like a medicine farmer found a thousand-year-old ginseng on the cliff, knowing that hanging down the rope may kill him, but no one can resist that temptation, ten out of ten people will choose to take the risk, Ma Yue is this kind of mentality.
The mink will take the initiative to come to the door, which does seem a bit absurd, but not impossible.
In ancient times, whenever an official's family was copied and exterminated, most of the women in the house would be taken into slavery, which is the origin of the courtesan, official prostitute, camp prostitute, etc., but whoever enters this door will be a slave for all generations, generations of prostitution, and never get out of the book, they have lost the right to marry and have children and be a normal woman, from then on, they can only lean on the door to sell smiles, raw Zhang Shu Wei, after the red face is old and lonely, the misery is really not enough for outsiders to understand.
But people always have the desire, just like every man every moment not to think about promotion and wealth, sitting in a beautiful wife and concubines, these women are always dreaming of being a good woman, to be able to marry, give birth to children do not have to be a slave for prostitutes, if you can choose, I believe that no woman is willing to do a prostitute.
However, the existence of the Han Empire has forever deprived them of this power, even if the new emperor ascends to the throne, amnesty, all prisoners on death row can be reborn, but they still can not get out of slavery! If they want to change their fate, they must hope for a change of dynasty, hope for another force to replace the Han Dynasty.
This is not the same thing as serving, this is just a mutual use, nothing more.
Moreover, Miao Cicada and the prostitutes around her were far from being a full-fledged intelligence organization, just a group of like-minded prostitutes who wanted to change their fate. Maybe in Luoyang, through those noblemen who like to stay in the flowers, they were indeed able to grasp every move of the court, but in the military chaos of Nanyang, all cities and counties have closed their hooker houses, what information can they spy?
Although Miao Cicada tried her best to put on a confident and serious appearance in front of Ma Yue, but Ma Yue knew that it was just a bluff.
But, then again, as long as the sable cicada can deliver the news from the court in time, it is enough! Just like this time, if Miao Cicada could deliver the news of Yuan Shu's 5,000-troop expedition in time, Ma Yue would not have fallen for the Han army's evil trick, and would not have lost the 200 elite brothers and 2,000 horses for nothing.
Ma Yue took a deep breath of cold air and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, let all the brothers go ashore and assemble in the valley in front."
Guan Hai lost his voice and said, "Bo Qi, the snow here has not yet melted, going ashore will leave traces."
Ma Yue said coldly, "There is no need to hide traces anymore. If Sable is a spy of the Han army, Yuan Shu will know our whereabouts immediately. If Mink Cicada is not a spy of the Han army, it is time for us to take action. The lives of more than two hundred men must not be lost in vain.
Guan Hai said sternly, "Yes, it's long overdue!"
Zhou Cang also shouted, "Yes, let's fight with the Han army, damn it."
Ma Yue waved his hand and said in a stern voice, "Go ashore!"
......
West E, Han army camp.
When Kuai Liang's voice fell, Wei He couldn't help but say, "Lord Kuai, I'm afraid the 1,000-odd stragglers on Jing Mountain are not suspicious soldiers, but the main force of the stragglers."
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Kuai Liang said, "Why is that?"
Wei He said, "Ma Yue is very deceitful in using the army, always false and unpredictable, just take the battle of Fuyang-Sui County, at first this guy deliberately reveals a flaw, posing to ambush the Nanyang army in Fuyang, but my army waited for more than a day, but the 800 stragglers ran a long distance to attack the Suixian County, until we suddenly realized that we thought we were trapped, and rushed to rescue the Suixian County, the 800 stragglers and When we suddenly realized, we thought we had been tricked and rushed to rescue Suixian County, the 800 stragglers suddenly killed a return and reoccupied Fuyang in one fell swoop."
Kuai Liang said, "Do you mean that the 800 stragglers abandoned their corpses on the road intentionally to reveal their weaknesses?"
Wei He said, "It is possible."
Yuan Shu frowned and said, "This is difficult, the reality is hard to predict, how can we do?"
Kuai Liang sighed: "It is a pity that my brother is not here, otherwise he would have been able to see Ma Yue's intention."
Yuan Shu said, "It's just that, all the army should not move without permission, all of them should keep their own camp, and send spies to monitor the stray pirates in Jing Mountain, if there is any movement, report immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
Li Yan agreed and went to follow his orders.
Huang Zhong and Wei He returned to their respective posts, Jin Shang and Kuai Liang also dispersed.
......
Pheasant County, the red house is the largest local hooker courtyard.
Two cloth dress hairpin women came together, a line of unscrupulous teenagers from behind to see the two women's slender posture, they chased up intended to entangle, did not want to turn to the front of a look, but suddenly amazed, immediately scared and fled.
(PS: readers should not have the mindset that ancient women are not allowed to show their heads, in fact, before the Ming Dynasty, it is normal for women to show their heads)
The two women went around to the back door of the red building, and went straight inside.
......
It was dawn and dark, and Sable and Liu Yan finally returned without incident.
"He Zhen has left Pheasant County this morning and moved back to Luoyang, with 500 Han troops escorting him, according to the itinerary, he should be cantoned in Luoyang tonight."
"Yuan Shu's army may be stationed in Xi'e, or in Wancheng."
In a few words, Miao Cicada told them all the information she knew.
"Is that all?"
Ma Yue had expected this, but his face looked disappointed to the extreme.
"This is the only news." The sable cicada said in a low voice, "The sisters I know are mostly in Luoyang, so it's easy to find out what's going on in the court, but this Nanyang is suffering from the Yellow Turban bandits, most of the hooker houses have closed, many sisters have been displaced and lost contact, so it's not that easy to spy."
Ma Yue said indifferently, "It's just that you don't really think that the 800 bandits can sweep the world, and I don't really think that you can do anything. Miss, Ma Yue believes you."
Miao Cicada said joyfully, "So the chief has agreed?"
Ma Yue said with a light hearted smile, "You don't really think that the 800 stragglers can take over the world, do you?"
Sable said in a gloomy voice, "It is better to have hope than nothing at all, what do you think, Chief?"
"That's right!" Ma Yue nodded heavily, turned around and sternly shouted, "Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, assemble the men immediately."
Guan Hai and Zhou Cang roared and went to follow the order.
In just a few moments, the remaining eight hundred stragglers had been assembled, excluding the hundred people Pei Yuan Shao took away, the rest were all here, still about eight hundred people. After the brutal killing and plundering, the cruel turn-in, and the successive vicious battles, the eight hundred stragglers had been rapidly transformed from a group of farmers into a group of desperate people. In terms of mental state, they had fully satisfied Ma Yue's standard of wolves, but in terms of military literacy, they still lacked some, but that required long and arduous training, and there was no hurry.
Ma Yue jumped onto a rock with a frosty expression, standing like a mountain, and all the stragglers stared at their leader with wide eyes, holding their breath and staring quietly. In the deep valley, only the cold mountain wind echoed Ma Yue's cold and resounding voice.
"In Pheasant County, we were set upon by the Han army, the hostages were released, the horses were not recovered, and we lost over 200 of our brothers in life and death for nothing! Do you think we should just forget about it?"
"No!"
"Kill all those damned Han soldiers to avenge the death of our brothers!"
"Bring back those hostages and boil them into lamp oil to light the lamps!"
Ma Yue's words incited the bandits to shout, and even the cold air could not quench the wild killing intent burning in their hearts.
Ma Yue abruptly raised his right arm, and the howls of the bandits stopped as if they were cut off by a knife, and Ma Yue's cold and resounding voice rang out again in the valley: "Yes, we can't let it go like this! If anyone messes with us, even if he is the emperor, we will still rip off his head."
"If you are a man, spittle is a nail! This is not over!"
"As always, men, run as fast as you can, I want to see you all a hundred miles away before dawn, no one missing, do you hear me?"
"Yes, I hear you!"
The rogues howled in response.
"Very good!" Ma Yue said in a stern voice, "Let's go!"
