C2295 Investigation

Lin Yaqin looked at Princess Suyi's pale face, sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "Right now, you're in a penitent state. Even if you want to return, you're powerless, so don't think too much."

Princess Suyi had already escaped from prison and regained her freedom. Even if Lin Yaqin was watching her from the side, it was only for show. If she wanted to escape, she could do so anytime, but she had to bear the consequences of her escape.

The Princess Suyi could only watch helplessly as the great army marched into battle.

Yang Bo did not care too much about the negotiations with the Princess Suyi. He felt that the Princess Suyi was lying to him, someone like him, who cherished his life, would definitely bring the key with him. He wanted to capture the Country Lord Chen personally and obtain the key!

Starting from the Fengdu, reaching the border would take at least three days. Yang Bo slowed his pace, and on the fifth day, he arrived at the southern border city, Seaside City, at noon.

Seaside City was just a small city with limited garrisons. It would not be able to accommodate any of the 200,000 strong army.

A portion of the army could only garrison outside the city, building walls, digging ditches, and building barracks.

It was bustling outside, Yang Bo had called the local garrison officers and Silver Hercule, Miao Yu, in front of him.

Miao Yu's attitude was respectful, and he appeared extremely reserved. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Great General!"

Yang Bo nodded his head, "There is no need to stand on ceremony. You have already been stationed in Seaside City for more than ten years, so you should be well-versed in Chen Country. I have some information that I want to discuss with you!"

Miao Yu quickly said, "Great General, please tell me what you need to know. I will tell you anything!"

Yang Bo waved his hand, "There's no need to be so formal, it's just a few ordinary questions."

"Counting this, I have already declared war at Fengdu for seven days and it has already been six days since the army departed from Fengdu. In these past few days, you should have received the notice from Seaside City, right? Is the Chen Country on the other side prepared? "

Miao Yu nodded. "Since the evening of the second day after the general's declaration of war, I have received the message through the carrier pigeon. I believe that the Chen Country should have received the message as well."

"For the past two days, I've been observing the situation of the opposing city. It seems like they only received the news two days ago, and the gate began to close, preventing the citizens from leaving."

"We also have a small army stationed at the other side of the West Sea City. No news has come in these two days, but I have never seen the army stationed here either!"

Yang Bo looked over, and his face revealed surprise, "If there is no army present, could it be that they have given up?"

Miao Yu hurriedly introduced, "The two sides of the West Sea City surround the mountain. The entire city is built in the valley between the two mountains, which is easy to defend and hard to attack. If they really did send additional troops from the other side of the valley, it would be very difficult to detect!"

"Our two nations have been at a standstill for a long time, so our West Sea City defense is relaxed. But, our defenses have been much tighter than before, so I guessed that there must be an army on the other side. Of course, this is just my guess!"

Yang Bo nodded his head slightly. It could be seen that Miao Yu was a very cautious person, he had first told them what he saw and then made his guess.

However, Yang Bo was not satisfied with such an answer. To him, whether or not the other party had reinforcements, this matter had to be decided beforehand.

Yang Bo continued to ask, "Have you ever sent out any small groups to harass him?"

Miao Yu was stunned, after he received the order and knew that Yang Bo was going to take part in the battle, he had been cleaning up the entire time, preparing to go to the base, where would he be able to probe?

Seeing that Miao Yu did not answer, Yang Bo continued to ask: "I also saw the mountains on both sides of the West Sea City. The mountains are very high and the terrain is very steep, but I think there are definitely mountain residents that go up the mountain to cut down wood and gather medicinal herbs right?"

"Have you ever thought of a question? Can you find a mountain villager who is familiar with the terrain, and send out a small team to investigate?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and be invincible in a hundred battles. Before the war, we must understand each other's strength, right?"

Miao Yu felt wronged, he was previously busy, how could he have the time to do all this? Now that he had received them, he did not expect Yang Bo to ask for an even higher requirement!

However, Miao Yu nodded. "Alright, I'll send someone to investigate tomorrow!"

Yang Bo shook his head, "Send someone over right now. It's best if they can reach the mountainside before it gets dark. That way, they'll be able to observe the smoke coming from the other side!"

Miao Yu immediately reacted. If the opposing side really did have an additional garrison, then there would definitely be more smoke coming from the cooking fire at night. This was indeed a good idea!

"Alright, I'll arrange it immediately!" Miao Yu hurriedly said.1

He had originally thought that Yang Bo would only give out orders and assignments. Now that Yang Bo had given him a solution, he was filled with admiration!

Yang Bo nodded and replied, "Go, you must be more careful. We will need to rely on you to scout out tomorrow's plans!"

"General, don't worry. I'll go investigate it myself!" Miao Yu hurriedly said.

Miao Yu ordered a few men and hurriedly left the city. He had been stationed here for many years and had a few familiar hunters with him. He rushed over to take the hunters with him and burrowed into the mountains.

Yang Bo made all the necessary arrangements, and then left the city to look at the military camp stationed outside the city. Fortunately, the Great Qin Army was strict and strict, and the soldiers had a good pattern in arranging the military camps.

Every tent had a certain distance between them, and they also had a tight patrolling system to prevent the enemy from raiding the camp.

Yang Bo ate dinner with his soldiers before returning to Seaside City, while Gong Yu stayed outside the city in the army camp.

When entering the city, Yang Bo turned around to look at Chang Gongfei beside him, and asked curiously: Why is this city called Seaside City? The one opposite us is called West Sea City, is there a sea here? "

Chang Gongfei said: "After passing through the West Sea City, it will be a vast ocean. West Sea City is the most important line of defense for the Chen Country, and after passing through the West Sea City, it will be a flat plain!"

Yang Bo asked curiously: "Is the Western Sea very big? No end? The water is salty? "

Chang Gongfei was stumped by the series of questions he got from Yang Bo. He was stunned for a moment before speaking: "Salty? "I've never tried it, but it should be tasteless!"

"The Western Sea is very big, and the Chen Country was built around the Western Sea. Around the Western Sea, there are many fishermen living in the Western Sea!"

"The nation of Chen Country is also at the west coast. That is a warm city, with seasons like spring. We call it Spring City!"

Yang Bo nodded his head. He had thought that this secret realm would have a sea too, but it turned out that their sea was just a freshwater lake. In the outside world, there was a place called a big lake called Hai Zi!

The two returned to the camp. The moment they sat down, Miao Yu called them in.

"What was the result?" Yang Bo asked.

Miao Yu bowed. "Great General has great foresight. I've carefully observed their smoke. It is indeed much thicker than usual, and a lot of it came from the military camp!"
