After asking some related questions, Sima Yichang suddenly asked casually: "Where is Captain He from?"

Du Yi replied: "The people of Yangxia, Chen County." Du Yi found out these things clearly in the real He Yan, so when he answered, he was naturally calm and without thinking.

Sima Yichang showed a strange look and said, "So that Captain He and Situ are fellow townsmen?"

Du Yi said calmly: "He Situ is a humble uncle."

Sima Yichang looked suddenly enlightened and said, "It turns out that he was He Situ's nephew, who was indifferent to the rank of the clan. He was given a seat when he came."

Du Yi bowed and said, "I dare not, I am humble and have a low status, so how dare I sit with Sima Envoy?"

Sima Yiqiang smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite. He Situ is the teacher of a certain teacher, his nephew, and he should be a relative of his peers. He Situ's eldest son He Shao had a close relationship with him and was as close as his brothers. However, his younger brother He Zun is arrogant and not good at making friends."

When Du Yi heard this, he immediately corrected: "Sima Envoy is probably remembering it wrong. He Zun is the eldest son and He Shao is the second son, but He Zun is the concubine and He Shao is the legitimate child, so people often confuse their brother order."

Sima Yi smiled, slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, yes, it's someone who was memorized. He Zun is indeed the eldest son, but he is just a concubine. His status in He's mansion is not very good. You remember this reminder, hahaha."

Du Yi sneered secretly. Sima Yi said something was indeed intentional just now, and the purpose was to test the identity of "He Yan". Since Sima Yi was He Zeng's student and had a good relationship with He Shao, and He Shao and Sima Yan were in the same year and often interacted in Sima's mansion. How could Sima Yi confuse who he and He Zun were brothers and who were younger brothers? Since He Yan was from the He family, he naturally knew the order of the He family's elder brothers. As long as Du Yi agreed casually at this time, he might be discovered by Sima Yi.

However, Du Yi had done his homework in advance, asked He Yan in detail about the He family, and memorized it. Du Yi promptly corrected Sima Yi's obvious tentative words, which completely eliminated Sima Yi's doubts.

This is also Du Yi's most basic quality as a spy. If an ordinary person had a detailed understanding, how could he have dug out so much information from He Yan's mouth in just one hour and remembered it accurately. Therefore, Du Yi's specialty is really something that ordinary people can imitate.

Sima Yiqiang had no doubt about Du Yi's identity. After all, if he was not from the He family, how could he know so much? After all, as the legitimate son, He Shao's status in the He family is unmatched. People think that He Shao is the eldest son, but they don't know that he has a concubine brother He Zun.

Du Yi said to Sima Yi: "Sima Envoy, before leaving, Sima Jianguo had explained that these supplies were urgently needed by the general himself and needed, and they should be sent to Jingxing Pass as soon as possible. In addition, Sima Envoy sent heavy troops to escort them to ensure safety and prevent the Bingzhou army from attacking halfway."

Sima Yichang didn't doubt anything. After all, he had read Sima Zhao's handwritten letters and did have similar explanations. After all, from Yecheng to Zhending, it is very easy to be attacked by the Bingzhou army along the way. If the escort force is insufficient, this batch of supplies may be robbed by the Bingzhou army, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

This batch of supplies was ordered by Sima Shi. Even if Sima Yiqiang did not see it with his own eyes, he knew the importance of this batch of supplies. As the logistics manager of Sima Dajun, it is his responsibility to maintain the smooth flow of logistics support.

Sima Yichang asked, "I wonder how many people did Captain He bring this time?"

Du Yi said: "There were more than a thousand people, but they were halfway up the road, probably because they were not adapting to the local conditions. Nearly half of them vomited and had diarrhea, and barely persisted in Yecheng, so they were afraid that it would be difficult to move forward."

Sima Yi said lightly, "What's wrong with this? There are many doctors in Yecheng, so you can treat them quickly." Sima Yi called Hao Jin in, gave a few instructions, Hao Jin bowed his order, glanced at Du Yi, and turned around.

Du Yi looked calm and composed. Sima Yi was indeed very cautious. When he heard that the team escorting the baggage fell ill, he immediately sent a doctor to him, called diagnosis and treatment, but in fact he was to investigate and see if Du Yi was saying the truth.

Of course, Du Yi would not leave any handles or flaws for Sima Yi. On the way, Du Yi had already convinced the captain Yang Bo and five hundred people to convince some of the crotons. Before entering Yecheng, most people had diarrhea and drowning on the way, and the stench was so stinking.

Even if Sima Yi sent some doctors to go there, it can only prove that these soldiers did have symptoms of diarrhea. As for the cause of diarrhea, ordinary doctors must not be able to find out. Du Yi had already asked these soldiers who suffered from diarrhea to pretend to be in pain and weakness. Even if the doctors went there, they were helpless and could only use herbs, which could not be cured in a short period of time.

Du Yi's biggest purpose was to try to stay in Yecheng and act as an internal supporter for the Bingzhou Army when they attacked the city. If they were sick and unable to recover, Sima Yichang would definitely agree to stay in Yecheng in the end.

At this time, Sima Yi no longer had any doubts about Du Yi's identity, but he felt that it was strange that half of the people in the army were suddenly sick, so he sent someone to check to see if what Du Yi said was true.

This is not ruled out that there are some people who take advantage of the opportunity. After all, from Yecheng north, they enter the war zone. When they arrive at the war zone, the possibility of being attacked by the enemy will increase, and the risk of death will naturally be much higher. These teams escorting the baggage convoy are all soldiers from Luoyang. If they are used to being pampered, they will inevitably want to escape in the face of battle.

However, even if they were all there, the escort force of these thousand people seemed a little weak. If they were from Luoyang to Yecheng, the road was relatively peaceful, these troops were indeed sufficient. However, from Yecheng north, the risk of being attacked by the enemy increased exponentially, especially when approaching Jingxing Pass, it would become more dangerous. Without heavy troops to protect it, there was basically no hope of transporting to the Jingxing front line.

This batch of supplies is extremely important to the Sima army and will definitely become the target of the Bingzhou army. The more heavily the Sima army protects the more the Bingzhou army will try every means to destroy it. Therefore, relying solely on Du Yi’s 1,000 people to escort is obviously far from enough. Yecheng must send a sufficient number of troops to escort, which is indisputable.
