At the same time, in Western Liang.
Ma Chao and the others had managed to sneak into the depths of Yue Ji's territory.
They were very careful and did not wear armor.
After all, Ma Chao had plenty of Qiang armor that they had captured.
Once they were dressed, they smeared some dust on their faces. It was hard to tell that they looked different from the Qiang people.
After all, with the dust covering their faces, one would not be able to tell unless they looked carefully.
Moreover, it was night time.
Ma Yunlu lowered her head and followed closely behind the others.
After all, Ma Yunlu was a woman. In a Qiang camp that was full of men, it would be rather conspicuous if she was seen.
Fortunately, no one was looking at Ma Yunlu in the middle of the night.
Very quickly, the few of them arrived in front of the Qiang soldiers without making a sound.
The Qiang soldiers first looked at them suspiciously, sizing them up from head to toe.
At this moment, Ma Yunlu was ready to draw the saber from his waist.
Fortunately, the soldiers did not say anything and left.
Ma Yunlu heaved a sigh of relief.
Ma Chao said in a low voice.
"Yunlu, without my orders, you are not allowed to draw your weapons!
We are now in the midst of a Qiang army of a hundred thousand!
If we fight, it will only be disadvantageous to us! "
Ma Yunlu could only nod his head silently without saying a word.
At this time, Jiang Wei and Li Cunxiao had already begun to observe the nearby buildings.
Yue Ji's camp was completely different from Li Yuanhong's.
Li Yuanhong's camp looked like an ordinary one, like a village in the north.
Most of the houses were simple thatched huts. There was nothing special about them.
Yue Ji's camp, on the other hand, was rather luxurious.
Just from the looks of it, it was at least half the size of Li Yuanhong's camp.
But this was a huge problem for Jiang Wei and the others.
How were they going to investigate in such a large area?
Ma Chao whispered.
"We can't stay here for too long."
"Those Qiang soldiers didn't say anything when they saw us. They probably thought that we were soldiers who had changed shifts."
"The next shift will take place in an hour."
"If we haven't left by then, we'll definitely be discovered."
"Moreover, our area of activity is not large. If we go too deep, the Qiang soldiers in the camp will definitely notice us."
Jiang Wei could not help but frown.
So many restrictions?
Trying to find Yue Ji in such a place where the conditions had deteriorated was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, he had no idea where the Yue Ji's camp was.
Yue Ji's location would definitely be heavily guarded.
If they saw it, it would be terrible.
Fortunately, there were only five of them, so their target was not obvious.
In addition, it was still dark. Therefore, Jiang Wei made a bold decision.
They walked slowly along the edge of the city wall until they found the supply camp.
Of course, there were still certain difficulties.
Because if they did this, they would only be able to see the buildings at the very edge, but not the buildings inside.
Generally speaking, they would not be able to find Yue Ji's tent.
As long as this Yue Ji did not have a problem with his brain, he would not set up his tent at the edge of the camp.
However, Yue Ji's tent was not the main point. The main point was to find the supply camp.
The most important thing for the Qiang people was their supplies.
How were they supposed to operate an army of one hundred thousand?
The Qiang people did not have the habit of farming. Only their leader's people would farm.
However, with only a few tens of thousands of people, the crops they could grow were not enough to feed three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers.
Thus, the Qiang people could only plunder and rob.
During this period of time, Bai Feng had arranged for a large number of garrisons to be stationed in various places in the Central Plains under her command.
With these soldiers and advanced weapons, the Qiang people found it difficult to plunder from the Central Plains.
Thus, they turned their attention to the weaker foreign tribes around them.
However, these foreign tribes had very little food. Even if they did plunder, they would not be able to get much food.
Thus, the Qiang people could only scrimp and eat the food that they had not finished.
Thus, finding the supply camp where the Qiang people stored their food was of utmost importance.
This was also the most effective way that Jiang Wei could think of to get rid of the Qiang people with the least casualties.
Destroy their supplies!
The Qiang soldiers who were starving would have their fighting strength greatly reduced.
This was especially so for Yue Ji's army, which was closest to the Central Plains.
There were not many foreign tribes around him, so there were very few places that he could plunder.
As long as he could get rid of the source of their supplies, the problem would be solved by more than half.
However, for Yue Ji, it was very difficult for Yue Ji to place such important supplies at the very edge.
If they were attacked, they would most likely catch fire first.
Without supplies, how could they fight a battle?
Thus, Jiang Wei decided to explore the very edge. After reaching the center of the Qiang camp, he would go straight in.
This way, there would be a higher chance of finding where the supplies were.
When the Qiang people marked their buildings, they were imitating the Central Plains people.
Many of their buildings had a big word written on them.
For example, the word "camp" was written on the military camp.
Or the place where the commander lived, the word "general" was written on it.
So on and so forth, the supplies were heavy.
It was very likely that the word "food" was written on it.
And the word "commander" might be written on Yue Ji's tent.
With this clue, it would be much easier to find the supply camp.
However, as the group walked carefully, they did not find any similar tents.
Moreover, the closer they got to the center, the more soldiers they encountered.
There were a few who were quite agile, and the moonlight tonight was very weak.
Otherwise, it would be awkward if they were discovered.
"Beuyo, we can't keep looking like this."
"If this drags on and we're discovered by the soldiers, we won't be able to get out."
Ma Chao frowned and said nervously.
Jiang Wei also frowned. For a moment, he didn't know if they should retreat or not.
There were still a large number of soldiers and torches in front of them. If they continued forward, the chances of them being discovered would only increase.
Just as Jiang Wei was about to give the order to retreat …
Suddenly, Pound was slightly taken aback.
"Wait, something doesn't seem right up ahead!"
"Look, it's clearly night time. Why are there so many soldiers up ahead?"
