"Continue to monitor, we will act at night."

"Yes."

The scouts retreated and sneaked into the county town to continue monitoring the movements of the barbarian thousand troops.

Cangrun County is a standard medium-sized city with four gates. Now only the west and south gates can be opened.

Among them, the west gate was opened to facilitate the entry and exit of barbarian cavalry.

The South Gate had to be opened wide because it was destroyed during the siege.

Every time the scouts of the Shenwei Camp entered the city at the east gate or where the east and north walls were damaged.

A thousand-man team can capture a county seat, but it cannot turn a county seat into an impregnable wall.

In the eyes of the Shenwei Camp scouts, Cangrun County is similar to a sieve, and one can get in anywhere.

In the early morning, in the dead of night, Yang Yuan entered Cangrun County from the north wall of the county seat under the leadership of the Shenwei Camp scouts.

He asked the scouts of the Shenwei Camp to go to Xicheng and Nancheng to continue monitoring the movements of the barbarians and the people, and then he took Shen Quan and others to find his target in Beicheng.

"My lord, what are you looking for?"

Until now, Shen Quan didn't know what Yang Yuan was looking for, so he left behind the important defense of Canglin Pass and came here.

"Come with your ears."

Shen Quan put his head in front of Yang Yuan, only to hear Yang Yuan say in a voice that only two people can hear: "What I'm looking for is..."

Shen Quan nodded as he listened, with a clear expression on his face. After Yang Yuan finished speaking, he immediately said, "I know my lord, as long as there are any in Cangrun County, I will find them for you!"

On the side, Yang Yuan's guard looked at the scene of the two big men whispering.

They went up and asked what they were looking for. But in the end, no one was the first to eat crabs.

Because they didn't have to take the initiative to ask, Yang Yuan and Shen Quan took them to start a search in Beicheng.

As Yang Yuan expected, the barbarians mainly searched for food, gold, silver, jewelry, tea, wine, salt and other things, and their search for other things was relatively low.

This is also a very normal thing. If the barbarians really raid Cangcangyang County for three feet, just transporting the supplies will consume 80% of their manpower and time, and they will not be able to surround the county town.

At four o'clock in the morning, Yang Yuan had already searched the entire Beicheng, but what he found still could not satisfy him.

"My lord, let's go to Dongcheng to see. It used to be rich and noble people living there. There must be a lot of things left out by the barbarians."

Yang Yuan thought about the possibility, so he agreed with Shen Quan's suggestion.

"Go, go to Dongcheng, and leave directly from Dongcheng after dawn."

Searching for supplies in the county town during the day is too obvious and easy to expose. If there are not enough supplies in Dongcheng today, Yang Yuan decides to change to another county town to continue the search.

The things he was looking for were not precious, but they were a bit miscellaneous, and there were a few things that were not valued in Shun country.

If you are lucky, you may encounter them in the wild, but if you are unlucky, even if you go to the county town, you will find nothing.

......

Canglin Pass.

Under the leadership of Zhao Long, both the north and south walls of Canglin Pass were restored to a certain extent.

Among them, the southern city wall, which was less damaged, was basically restored to its original state.

This is also thanks to Yang Yuan's use of the imperial space to help them transport a large number of stones before leaving.

Zhao Long stood on the repaired wall and looked to the south. The lord had been away for four days. According to the news brought back by the scouts, the barbarian caravan transporting food back to the grasslands will arrive at Canglin Pass at the latest the day after tomorrow.

If they hurry a little, they will be able to reach Guanxia tomorrow night. I wonder if the lord will be able to make it in time?

Zhao Long didn't know what was going on with Yang Yuan's return, but he knew his mission. He stopped the barbarian convoy in Canglin Pass and waited for Yang Yuan to complete the plan.

"Hopefully I can make it in time!"

The scouts of the Shenwei Camp also brought back a piece of information that is not good news. The barbarians may have felt that an accident happened at Canglin Pass, and their actions in the past two days were obviously much more cautious.

Although neither Yang Yuan nor Zhao Long thought of attacking the barbarian convoy at Canglin Pass, the cautious barbarians were obviously more difficult to deal with than the unsuspecting barbarians.

But this news is not completely bad news, because acting cautiously means that their marching speed will be slower, so Zhao Long estimates that the barbarian convoy will reach Canglin Pass in the morning the day after tomorrow.

Two days later, the barbarian convoy's scout cavalry had arrived in front of Canglin Pass.

They looked at the wall a few times from a distance. Although they didn't see the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion, they still didn't approach and turned to leave.

"It seems that the barbarians really know what happened to Canglin Pass."

Zhao Longzhan was behind the parapet at the juncture, watching the barbarian cavalry gradually move away, knowing that they would not easily approach Canglin Pass.

However, this was also within his expectation. After all, in such a dangerous place as Canglin Pass, the barbarians could not be too careless.

"Strengthen your alert and prepare to defend the city."

"Yes."

Zhao Long is not afraid of barbarians attacking the city. The past few days have been enough time for him to prepare the wood and rolling stones for defending the city.

Barbarians are not good at attacking cities, it is not easy to talk about it. Under the suppression of the archers of the Shenwei camp, their riding and shooting could not be used.

At that time, it will either be filled with human lives or ask for more support.

No matter which one you choose, it will definitely take a few days.

My lord, you have to come back quickly, otherwise this great opportunity will be wasted!

When the barbarians arrived at Canglin Pass, Yang Yuan also ran halfway.

Because Cangrun County really didn't meet his needs, Yang Yuan had to switch to another county to continue searching for supplies, which resulted in a delay of two days.

Fortunately, he has already collected all the things he needs, and made use of the time difference in his portable space to make the finished product he wants. He is just waiting to give it to the barbarians as a gift in front of Canglin Pass.

But don't worry about giving gifts, you have to empty their food first and then give them gifts.

Zhao Long was not in a hurry to face the barbarian siege, and Yang Yuan was not in a hurry to give gifts to the barbarians.

But the barbarian leaders who deliver the food are in a hurry!

"Canglin Pass really fell!"

"Yes, Commander."

Commanding a thousand people is called a commander of a thousand people. Isn't it called a commander of ten thousand people when you command a thousand people?

Giroud tells you, as long as I have less than 10,000 troops, even if I have 9,999 cavalry, that would be a commander of a thousand.

Jirou was the barbarian leader who was responsible for escorting food back to the grasslands this time.

As a commander of thousands, he originally had 6,000 cavalry, but after several battles, only 5,000 were left.

Why was he able to command five or six thousand cavalry as a commander?

The reason is very simple, because his father is the patriarch of a large tribe.

Jirou is the first heir of this tribe.

The whole tribe is mine, can I bring some more troops?

If it wasn't for the high status of the commander-in-chief and the need for Wang Ting's canonization, it would be easy for Jirou to become a commander-in-chief.

Isn't that just ten thousand cavalry? I have them, and there are several.

powerful!
