The guard walked forward, took the bronze medal from Yu Huai, came to Niu Meng, and handed it to him.

Niu Meng, who took back his bronze medal, put the bronze medal back on his chest and put it away.

"This person is also from your Foreign Intelligence Agency?" Yu Huai looked at Wang Er standing beside Niu Meng.

The bronze medal Niu Meng took out can only prove his identity alone.

"He is a guard in Shouyang City. The news he found this time was from him." Niu Meng introduced Wang Er's identity.

"The little Wang Er kowtowed to the general." Seeing that Wang Er mentioned himself, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yu Huai.

Yu Huai looked at Wang Er kneeling on the ground and said with a smile: "Since you can come to the camp with Niu Er and are willing to bring us news about Shouyang City, that is your own people, get up!"

Niu Meng reached out to support Wang Er kneeling on the ground.

Wang Er kowtowed, and then he got up from the ground with Niu Meng's support.

"Tell me, what news did you bring back from Shouyang City? Let you escape from Shouyang City overnight." Yu Huai asked, looking at Niu Meng.

Niu Meng clasped his fists and said, "I received news that the troops of the Shenwu Guard had arrived in Shouyang and were preparing to work with the defenders in the city to attack our army inside and outside when our army attacked Shouyang."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll listen to what the Shouyang County Magistrate said in person." Wang Er agreed.

Yu Huai frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Please be prepared early, Deputy Secretary Yu." Niu Meng said to Huai.

Yu Huai thought for a while and said, "Can we know where this soldier from Shenwu Guard is in Shouyang?"

Niu Meng looked at Wang Er.

When Yu Huai's eyes also looked over, Wang Er shook his head and said, "I don't know. The little one was just listening to the county magistrate and the eldest son talked about the matter of Shenwuwei, but he didn't say where it was."

"It's okay, it's great that you can bring back the news of the Shenwu Guard. As for where the Shenwu Guard's troops are hidden, it's not that important." Yu Huai comforted Wang Er.

He could see the panic and fear that appeared on Wang Er's face.

"What's going on in Shouyang City now?" Yu Huai asked Xiang Niu Meng.

Niu Meng thought for a moment and said, "There are not many defenders in the city. As the chief general of the city, many of the defenders in the city were men in the yamen and servants in various homes, and some of them were young and strong, most of them were forced to go up to the city wall. Moreover, even at this time, the defenders in the city could not even have enough stomachs, and there were only two meals of porridge to eat every day..."

The situation in Shouyang City was quickly introduced to him.

"The only one who threatens us is the ambushed Shenwu Guards?" Yu Huai rubbed his chin with his fingers.

Niu Meng nodded and immediately said, "Military affairs are the ones Yu, and his subordinates' mission is to bring about the situation in Shouyang City. How to deal with the enemy is difficult to argue with the superiors."

"You have worked hard all night. Go back and rest first. After you take down Shouyang City, you will arrange for you." Yu Huai said.

"I'm leaving." Niu Meng bowed his hands and hugged Wang Er and retreated from the Central Army tent.

As soon as the two left, Yu Huai said to the guards beside him: "Send someone to find the Second Battle Barracks Zheng Qiao Yuansheng and the Third Battle Barracks Zheng Xiao Kui."

The guard turned and left.

More than a moment later, the two battalions arrived at the central army's tent.

"Just just got the news, the troops of the Shenwu Guard have arrived. Qiao Yuansheng, what did you do? Why didn't you find them?"

As soon as the two of them came in, Yu Huai cursed Qiao Yuansheng.

Qiao Yuansheng looked bitter and said, "Deputy Commander, you can't blame his subordinates. There are many hills in Shouyang. It's not easy to find any place to hide. Moreover, our cavalry is not large. We just arrived outside Shouyang City. It's really hard to find people so quickly."

"Stop making excuses with me here. As the pioneer of the army, these things are what you should do. If the secret spies from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau were not going out of the city overnight to send news, we might suffer a great loss." Yu Huai said with an ugly face.

Qiao Yuansheng didn't say anything with a bitter face.

It was his responsibility to fail to discover in time that the Shenwu Guard's troops arrived in Shouyang, and there was nothing to justify this, but in such a short time, it was not possible to find an army of thousands of people in Shouyang.

"Deputy Commander, it wasn't the Shenwu Guard's troops who were pacifying Dingzhou two days ago. Why did they arrive in Shouyang so soon?" Xiao Kui said with a frown.

Yu Huai said: "Shouyang and Pingdingzhou are already next to each other. It is not uncommon for the Shenwu Guard to come to Shouyang. What I am worried about now is that you can come and see where such a soldier is hidden."

A sand table was placed in the big tent.

Qiao Yuansheng and Xiao Kui came over.

"Since this army of Shenwu Guard has been hidden, I must have wanted to wait until we attack Shouyang City before we suddenly attack us, which means that this army is hidden near Shouyang City." Xiao Kui said.

Yu Huai nodded and said, "I think so too."

"There are so many hills around Shouyang City, and there is no shortage of places to hide soldiers. If you look for them one by one, you may not be able to find them in a few days." Qiao Yuansheng said, looking at the mountain edges and hills on the sand table.

"If I were the chief general of the Shenwuwei army, I would definitely hide the army within half a day from Shouyang City, and even closer, so that it would be convenient to send troops in time." Xiao Kui said.

Yu Huai looked at him and asked, "Then what do you think is the most suitable?"

"Based on the terrain, there are at least four or five suitable places, but I think it is most likely on this side of Shouyang City." Xiao Kui pointed his hand at one side of Shouyang City.

"What's the reason?" Yu Huai asked.

Xiao Kui said: "Shenwuwei sent thousands of soldiers and horses. If they go to the other side, they need to cross the river and prepare a large number of ships. It will become difficult to hide it from us, so they are most likely to be on this side of the river."

"There are several places to hide," Qiao Yuansheng said with a frown.

Wang Er patted the clothes on his chest because they were stuck to the soil on the wall and said, "Let's go, let's go back first. When you get to the city wall, follow me. You can rest assured. If I betray you, you can kill me with a dagger."

Niu Meng didn't say anything, but just followed Wang Er to walk back.

Even if Wang Er didn't say it, he didn't plan to leave, and he was not completely relieved of Wang Er.

The two returned to the horse road.
