The spies heard this and quickly responded, "Yes, General."
The leading spy looked up and said to Fu Yanting, "General, how much do we know about the soldiers' words?"
"How much?" Fu Yanting asked.
The spy lowered his voice and replied, "About 3,000 people."
"Only three thousand people?" Fu Yanting was surprised.
The spy nodded. "Yes, many people have left Mobei, and not many people remain."
Fu Yanting lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes."
Three thousand people are not a lot, and it is not impossible for them to fight hard.
The spy then said, "But I don't know about the grain and fodder. The grain and fodder in the city are very precious, and they are guarded by Lieutenant General He himself."
"Okay, then go and find out today." Fu Yanting ordered.
"Yes, General!"
The spies shouted in response.
Only then did Fu Yanting send someone to send them out.
After sending these people away, Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting returned to the campfire.
Lord Fu and Madam Fu were far away from them just now, so they didn't hear what they said specifically. "Are they willing to be spies for us?"
Fu Yanting replied: "Yes, Dad, I just heard from them that there are only 3,000 soldiers in Zi'an City now."
"Only three thousand?! That's a good thing!" Lord Fu stood up and said, "We'll repair the crossbows and ladders in the next few days, and when the opportunity is right, we'll attack the city directly!"
"Yes, Dad!" Fu Yanting responded loudly.
Fu Xingcheng and Fu Qianhong were still holding the skewers in their hands. They took a bite of the meat and said with a smile, "Dad, we two want to be in the front."
Lord Fu smiled and said, "Okay, you two will fight in the front."
Mrs. Fu laughed and said, "Look at you guys, you must be so frustrated."
The group fled all the way with their tails tucked in, and finally returned to their own territory, where they had to put up a good fight.
Chu Chenyin raised his head and looked in the direction of Zi'an City. Before fighting this battle, they had to stockpile food and fodder first.
Half an hour later, the spies returned to Zi'an City.
Deputy General He asked them, "How is it? How many people did the Marquis and the general bring with them?"
The spies lowered their heads and said, "We saw about five or six thousand."
"Five or six thousand?" Lieutenant General He was shocked.
The spies replied, "Yes, it is estimated that some of them were brought from the capital. Deputy General He, why don't we surrender directly and welcome the Marquis and the general into the city!"
Deputy General He waved his hand and said, "No, I have waited so long for this opportunity. I heard that the capital has become a ruin. If we can gather our forces now and attack the capital directly after the natural disaster, I can become the new king."
