The darkness inside the prison needs no further explanation.
Yuan Ye looked at the spy who was almost tortured beyond recognition, without any pity on his face.
He guarded his country and would not allow anyone to invade it.
This is his duty as the crown prince of a country.
Moreover, now that he is a general, he is even less likely to allow anyone to betray him.
This is the border, so close to the land of barbarians; the message this person sent could very well be fatal.
Fortunately, the commander has been changed and the military camp is not completely stable. Before he could convey any useful information, Jiang Tian discovered it.
Jiang Tian guessed correctly; she had accidentally discovered a large fish.
This spy held a very high position; he was responsible for conveying many confidential messages.
He deliberately lived near the military camp, worked diligently as a peddler, and even married a wife to avoid suspicion, which shows his intentions.
He has been lying low here for ten years.
Jiang Tian's gentleness and beauty made him unconsciously lower his guard, revealing his true colors.
After all, Jiang Tian was a servant by the general's side, and her status was too special, so the spy became a little anxious.
He must keep a close eye on this new commander in order to ensure that people from his motherland can successfully invade.
After the Lantern Festival arrived, he only socialized with others and never revealed any useful information. Meanwhile, the people on the other side were urging him on, which made the spy increasingly anxious.
But he hadn't been testing her for long when Jiang Tian, being too perceptive, noticed something was off.
This time he was finally caught.
Looking at the stack of records handed to him by his subordinates, Yuan Ye's expression grew increasingly solemn.
This person has provided many messages that he has passed on to the outside world, and every message is very important.
Several of them caught his attention.
These crimes were originally intended for the previous general.
These crimes, used as evidence of the previous general's treason, were written into a memorial by the relevant people.
But now, the culprit has been found.
Yuan Ye remained silent and glanced at his subordinates.
This spy must have other intelligence he hasn't revealed yet.
His subordinates immediately imposed even more severe punishments.
After spending a full six hours with the spy, Yuan Ye finally obtained a chilling piece of intelligence—
In another half month, the barbarians will launch an attack.
This time they will deploy 50,000 troops.
They couldn't obtain intelligence about the new commander-in-chief; they could only analyze the basic information about the new general that they could find in the capital.
As far as they knew, this general was born into a family of military officers, but had never experienced actual combat. This was an opportunity for him to hone his skills.
After all, although the border is fraught with danger, it is also an excellent place to make merits and climb the ranks.
The timing of his transfer coincided with a period of recuperation for the barbarians. Perhaps the court would transfer him away again in six months and replace him with a true commander.
This person is young and only knows how to talk the talk, so he is undoubtedly a fat sheep.
Barbarians would indeed choose to recuperate and rebuild during this period, but only if they had sufficient resources.
The problem is that they are currently facing a shortage of supplies, and the resources on the border have long been considered theirs for the taking.
If the imperial court dares to send an overconfident general, they can ensure he doesn't return. They'll wipe out all the imperial troops stationed here, and perhaps even conquer the border.
Then they won't have to worry about supplies anymore.
In half a month, with an army of 50,000, their conspiracy proceeded silently, and Yuan Ye received no relevant intelligence.
They naturally also have people among the barbarians.
Clearly, this was a top-secret information. If the spy hadn't been of a high enough rank, Yuan Ye would have been caught off guard.
Even though he had gained some prestige through his successful suppression of bandits, he failed to respond promptly to the barbarian invasions. Regardless of his prestige, just considering the civilians, who knows how many more would have been slaughtered...
Yuan Ye's face was solemn, as if water could drip from it.
In addition, the spy also gave a brief account of his superiors and subordinates.
The secret guards that Yuan Ye brought were specially trained to protect the Crown Prince's safety; each one was a top-notch expert.
The secret guards, skilled in investigation, have plenty of methods at their disposal.
He made a great contribution this time.
Yuan Ye made a mental note of him, but he did not forget the woman who had initially exposed the spy.
However, he doesn't have time to reward those who have made contributions now.
Half a month is far too short. He has not yet fully taken control of the entire border, nor has he completed the training of his troops. He must accomplish many things within half a month.
However, the first priority is to find the wolves hiding among the people.
It must be said that during the period when the border commander was absent, the subordinates really became lax.
Surprisingly, there were also barbarians among the soldiers and junior officers.
That night, a group of people were arrested.
Before they could even react, they were thrown into jail and subjected to round after round of interrogation.
On the night of the first night, Yuan Ye summoned all the generals over.
Even if these people don't respect him, they are at least loyal to him.
They disobeyed him, yet they had to obey the tiger tally.
Everyone assumed the tiger tally was with the emperor, but they never expected to see it in the hands of the newly arrived commander—their expressions changed.
With the tiger tally, they had to accept Yuan Ye's orders.
After sharing the intelligence he had extracted from the spies with everyone, Yuan Ye's expression turned extremely cold: "If you don't want to obey me, then get out of this military camp. In war, I don't want disobedient subordinates."
