The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 189 City Center

"this……."

Gou San's mouth twitched, not knowing that Li Erni would be interested in this.

"Speak or not?"

Li Erni flicked the whip violently, and gave two severe lashes, Gou San was torn apart.

Gou San was in so much pain that he quickly shouted, "I'll say it, I'll say it."

"Sometimes a gambler who loses everything will be put into a wooden cage, and then put into two hounds, watching the gambler be killed alive, it is very tragic, I don't know why Madam hates gamblers so much, I heard some news." Gou San said.

"Oh, what news, don't be secretive, tell me quickly." Li Erni asked curiously.

"I heard that my wife is a member of the royal family of Pakistan, but when she was a child, her father gambled and lost all the family wealth, forcing her mother to hang herself, and finally 'sold' her to the Zhang family, a family of generals, and married Zhang Tian Yuan, she hates gamblers very much." Gou San said hastily.

"So it is."

The corners of Li Erni's mouth twitched slightly, and she almost forgot the most important thing when she wanted to ask the wrong topic.

"Where did you get the hand crossbow used in your casino?" Li Erni asked coldly.

"This." Gou San thought for a moment, and said, "Madam seems to have begged for it from General Zhang. I heard that a caravan was robbed. It was a weapon used by the caravan guards. General Zhang wanted to suppress the matter, but There are quite a few people involved in this matter, and I have also heard of it.”

"it is as expected."

A cold light flashed in Li Erni's eyes, the target had already been determined to be Zhang Tianyuan, what to do, he could only send a letter back to the lord to decide.

"I've said everything I need to say, can you let me go?" Gou San asked expectantly.

"I haven't interrogated yet, so it's not over yet." Li Erni sneered.

This person cannot be let go for the time being, to prevent him from going back to report the news, since he has decided to kill him, let him play the value after the meeting before he dies.

"I'll tell you whatever you want to know." Gou San trembled in fright.

"I don't want to know anything, I just want to touch your body with the whip and leave some marks."

Li Erni flicked the long whip in her hand, and with the sound of piercing through the air, slapped Gou San resoundingly.

A burst of screams came from the interrogation room, causing the people outside to tremble.

……

"Are you sure Zhang Tianyuan did it?" Wu Fan frowned.

Li Erni sat with her feet resting on the table, and nodded expressionlessly.

"This matter is not easy to handle. After all, Zhang Tianyuan is the guard of Dacheng. There are more than 1 soldiers in Dacheng. They are usually accompanied by personal soldiers when they go in and out. It is not easy to start." Wu Fan shook his head.

"We not only want to get rid of Zhang Tianyuan this time, but also get rid of everyone involved in the robbery." Li Erni said coldly.

Wu Fan's eyes widened in disbelief, "There must be a lot of people participating. If so, it would be like going to war with the defenders of the entire Dacheng."

"Let's start the war." Li Erni spread her hands indifferently.

"No." Wu Fan was so frightened that he quickly explained: "There are more than 1 defenders in Dacheng, and they are the defenders. Depending on the location, it may be difficult to attack."

Not hard, but almost impossible.

After all, there are only 5000 people in Dahan Town, and there are at most [-] soldiers who can be dispatched.

Five thousand to ten thousand, and the opponent still has a geographical advantage.

how to spell?
"I have sent the information to the lord. As for what to do, let the lord decide. We just need to wait for two days." Li Erni said.

Dahan Town Center.

"My lord, Li Erni has already replied." Dai Li presented a piece of cotton silk.

Su Lin took it over and quickly read the above content. There are not many words, but the expression is very clear.

"It's the grain cart that Zhang Tianyuan, deputy general of Dacheng, sent to rob." Dai Li had read the above content before coming, and said solemnly, "It's not easy."

"Hmph, I said that no matter who dares to rob our grain truck, they will have to pay the price." Su Lin said coldly.

"My lord, what should I do?" Dai Li raised his head and asked.

"Send troops to attack Dacheng." Su Lin looked coldly.

Most of the previous wars were on the defensive, and it was time to use a war to prove the combat effectiveness of Dahan Town.

"My lord, absolutely not." Dai Li was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again, and hurriedly said: "We are now in a period of stable development, attacking now, my subordinates think it will seriously affect our development, besides, Dacheng relies on the favorable location, so it is not It’s too easy to attack, and it needs to be considered in the long run.”

Su Lin frowned slightly, he was right after thinking about it, he was indeed a little impatient just now.

Since you want to fight, you must win, and you must be fully prepared.

Su Lin nodded, "Well, then let Zhang Tianyuan live for a while longer, and reorganize the army and attack Dacheng in the spring of next year."

"...here."

Dai Li nodded, although he felt that it was too early to attack even in the spring of next year, but it was inconvenient to persuade him, so he had to follow orders.

"Then do you need to call Li Erni and the others back?" Dai Li cupped his hands.

"Not for the time being, let them live there for a while, pay close attention to the movement of Dacheng, and collect useful information. A piece of useful information can be worth thousands of troops."

Su Lin smiled and said that the previous victories were all due to intelligence.

A few days later, Li Erni from Dacheng also received a reply.

"My lord, let us stay in Dacheng and collect useful information here."

In order to avoid leaking information, Li Erni burned the cotton silk in the reply.

Shen Jun quickly asked: "It's just these, the lord didn't say to send troops to attack Dacheng?"

Li Erni shook her head, "No."

"No?"

Shen Jun couldn't accept it. Such a dirty and dark place should be cleaned up quickly by sending troops.

Wu Fan next to him thought for a while and said, "My lord should have my lord's considerations. Even if it's not the time to fight now, even if you want to fight, you should rectify your troops so that you can form a fighting force next year."

"I agree with what Station Master Wu said. It's not up to us to decide whether to fight or not. What we have to do now is to grasp all the information here."

"Including the number of defenders, military equipment, food and grass, the general's personality and interpersonal relationship, so as to provide effective help for the Lord to attack Dacheng in the future." Li Erni said slowly.

Shen Jun didn't speak, and looked unhappy.

Wu Fan clasped his hands and said, "Let's leave the task of collecting information to the young ones."

"En." Li Erni nodded.

"Young one, let's go down and arrange tasks." Wu Fan cupped his hands, and then withdrew.

"What's the matter, are you upset?" Li Erni walked over and smiled.

Shen Jun shook her head, "I was just thinking that there will be so many dark places in this world, where people are treated as playthings and not human beings at will."

The gambler who lost everything that day was shot to death as a target.

And the crowd cheered and cheered, completely inhumane.

"Hey, there are many unfair things in this world, and our strength is very weak."

Li Erni sighed, looked up at the night outside the yard, and thought of the dead Wei Qi.

A few months later, in the spring of 335 BC.

Surin's monarch level was upgraded to level 10 half a month ago, and he can upgrade the town center (level 2) to the city center (level 3).

More buildings are also unlocked, and more new weapon blueprints can be purchased.

The new city center has just been upgraded and renovated, and Su Lin moved to a residential building before.

Now it's finally time to move back.

The size of the city center has doubled compared with the previous town center, and a two-story building has been added, which was only one floor before.

Now the first floor is very large, with a guest room lounge and a meeting hall that can accommodate many people.

Su Lin also had someone place a topographic map made of mud and stones in the side hall.

When discussing military affairs in the future, you can know the position of the march more accurately.
