Shi Hanshuo nodded to show that he understood. "You continue to patrol. I will take care of Tarrant."

"Yes."

After Shi Hanshuo gave his instructions, he led his men towards the camp not far away.

Just as Tarrant was about to wake up his subordinates around him, he heard footsteps coming from outside again. He quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

The guard lifted the curtain, and Shi Hanshuo led his men inside. Looking at the only young man who was placed on the couch and whose clothes were obviously different from those of the others, Shi Hanshuo confirmed his identity.

"Tarant."

Tarrant's heart skipped a beat, he knew his identity.

"At this point, I think you should not hold on to any unnecessary hopes. This camp is full of our people, so you'd better not think about escaping, don't you think?" Shi Hanshuo said.

Tarrant knew that he already knew that he had woken up, so he did not continue to pretend. He opened his eyes and looked sharply at the man who had just talked to him. He should be young, tall and strong, and looked quite imposing.

Tarrant turned over and sat up, a complex look flashing in his eyes. He never thought that he would end up like this. It was his fault for being careless.

"Are you from Dayan Zhenbei Army?"

Tarrant was not a good-for-nothing. On the contrary, his status in Dayuezhi was not low, otherwise Dayuezhi would not have sent him here to take charge.

Shi Hanshuo felt an aura from Tarrant that seemed to be the same as that of the general. He did not underestimate him, and even when treating an enemy, he should show the necessary respect.

"General, you already know that." Shi Hanshuo glanced at his armor and military uniform.

"I want to see your commander." Tarrant said and closed his eyes, looking as if he was not going to cooperate.

Shi Hanshuo did not refuse him. "I will convey your request to our commander. I am sorry to hear that you are waiting here."

After he finished speaking, he called over a guard and told him to stay in the tent and keep an eye on the people inside.

Not long after leaving the tent, Gu Jingzhi arrived with reinforcements. During this period, the other Dayuezhi soldiers who had fallen into coma also woke up one after another.

Gu Jingzhi dismounted from his horse, and Shi Hanshuo, who had received the news, rushed over.

"General, the Great Yuezhi general Tarrant said he wants to see you."

Gu Jingzhi paused, handed the reins to the soldier beside him, and looked at Shi Hanshuo, "Tell him that we'll see you when we get to Jiayu Pass."

Although they controlled this place, it was a relatively unfamiliar grassland to them. Although the Huns were scared by them, who knew if they would play a mantis stalking cicada while the oriole was waiting behind. It would be better to take people to a safe place first.

"Yes." Shi Hanshuo agreed, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As an enemy general, he has human rights but not much.

With the addition of reinforcements, the escort team expanded suddenly, and Gu Jingzhi began to arrange people to escort the tied-up captives in batches to the detention place that had been arranged in advance.

Of course, this place is naturally not within Jiayuguan. After all, there are 100,000 people here, not ten people. There are less than 100,000 people in the entire Jiayuguan. Where will they be imprisoned if they go in?

Gu Jingzhi watched the soldiers escorting the prisoners away and back, back and away again, until the sun set and the sky darkened, when all the prisoners were escorted away.

The soldiers escorting the prisoners returned to the camp after escorting them. The big flag of the camp was raised again, and a big word "Gu" on the black flag fluttered in the wind.

Because of the presence of the undercover agent, the battle was won too quickly and too smoothly, and all the supplies in the camp were preserved. There was once a troop of 100,000 people stationed here, so there must have been enough supplies.

But after seeing the supply reserves in the camp, Gu Jingzhi was still surprised. There were much more than he had imagined.

Yang Le: "General, this is the granary of the Great Yuezhi."

Shi Hanshuo, who was standing by, was also shocked when he saw the granary was full of food. "So much."

Yang Le said, "There is indeed a lot of food here, but they also eat a lot."

"Could it be that everyone in Dayuezhi is a big eater, eating the amount of three meals of others in one meal?" Shi Hanshuo asked doubtfully.

Gu Jingzhi: "Where is the mine?"

"The mine is located at the end of the camp." Yang Le said as he led them there.

Although their camp was on the grassland, it was backed by a mountain. The mine was located at the foot of the mountain. In order to conceal it, they specially covered the mine with tents. Only by entering the tents could you see the mine, and nothing could be seen from the outside.

Yang Le opened the tent curtain, revealing the dark mine inside. "This mine is very secretive. Not only is it camouflaged, but there are also many sentries placed around the tent, both visible and hidden.

At first we thought that an important person lived in this tent. Later we observed that a large number of Yuezhi people entered the tent every night and would leave one after another until dawn.

This is what makes me feel a little unusual. Although the tent is not small, it definitely cannot accommodate so many people, unless they are stacked up person by person and it is packed completely.

Later, we used a trick to quietly lift the curtain and take a look, and then we found the mine in front of us."

Shi Hanshuo looked at the mine in front of him and said, "So that's how it is."

His family asked why there was so much grain in the granary. It turned out that they were secretly mining and doing heavy labor. If they wanted to keep up, they naturally had to eat more.

Gu Jingzhi: "Have you checked inside?"

Hearing Gu Jingzhi's question, Yang Le said excitedly, "General, many people in this camp have consumed food and water mixed with special drugs, and those inside are no exception.

They have all been taken away now, and there is no one left in the mine.

General, this special drug is really useful. I think it will be invincible on the battlefield."

Shi Hanshuo: Specially made drugs? ? !

Shi Hanshuo's eyes widened. If he hadn't guessed, Yang Le was probably talking about the drugs that had been used on those spies before.

Gu Jingzhi: ...

Yang Le, who used the special drug for the first time, seemed to have unlocked something and felt that he had found a path to success.

Gu Jingzhi didn't answer him. He took the torch beside him and stepped into the mine.

Seeing this, Shi Hanshuo and Yang Le naturally hurriedly picked up torches and followed. The corridor was pitch black, and the torches in their hands could only illuminate the ground under their feet. Shi Hanshuo and Yang Le lit the torches on the corridor wall, and the dark corridor was illuminated.

After walking through the long corridor, we found that a large space had been dug out of the mountain. There was black powder on the ground, and the large bamboo baskets around were filled with large black stones.

Shi Hanshuo stepped forward to investigate, then turned back with a serious expression, "General, it's iron ore."

It’s iron ore!

However, this also explains why the Dayuezhi, who lived far north of the Xiongnu, appeared here.
