The people in Guiyang were all straight-eyed. They could even get rewards for answering questions? It was quite easy to make money. I just don’t know if Liu Jing’s question would be too tricky and weird. Ordinary people couldn’t answer it at all.

But they soon realized that all Liu Jing’s problems were simple and could not be simple. They were nothing more than how much food and grass the Wu army stored in Guiyang City, how many Wu army had arrived in Guiyang in the past two days, when did they enter the city, and how did they leave the city? And so on.

Liu Jing did not go back on his word. As long as the first person to answer the question, he immediately ordered someone to reward his coin of copper.

The man who received the reward was stunned and seemed to be unable to believe that this was true. You should know that this was a whole thousand words, which was enough for his family to live for several months, and the price he paid was just to talk.

The people around were even more envious. When Liu Jing asked questions, they were worried and no one dared to answer first. Unexpectedly, a young man was forced to take the lead. Faced with the next question, they naturally became much more enthusiastic.

Liu Jing said it is the only way. As long as someone answers a question correctly, he will immediately reward money forever, without caring about whether the answer to this question is worth the money forever.

Soon Liu Jing learned the information he needed, and then asked the Wei soldiers to dismiss these people. General Huangfu Jian of Zhonglei saw Liu Jing send tens of thousands of dollars in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but feel a little pain and said, "Governor, ask these people and just give them a few small amounts of money, why do you need to spend so much money? I don't have the courage to deceive the Governor."

Liu Jing laughed and said, "Do you really think that I am worried that they will not tell the truth and reward them specifically? In fact, it is very simple to ask for the truth, and it does not cost a piece of paper. It only takes a few groups of civilians to come. They cannot make a confession. The answer is the truth. When the answer is inconsistent, it is a lie, and it is easy to distinguish. As for why I am rewarding them heavily, it is just to follow Shang Yang and seek trust from the people with a large amount of money. With just ten thousand yuan, I can get the trust of the people of Guiyang. How much is this money worth it."

Liu Jing's purpose of going south this time was not only to pursue Shi Ji, but also to pacify the seven counties in Jingnan. Now, when the people of Guiyang heard the arrival of the Wei army, the people were in panic and fled in all directions, which had a great impact on Liu Jing's pacification plan.

So Liu Jing came up with a plan and decided to follow the reform of the Qin Dynasty Shang Yang and Bu Xinnuo for a thousand gold coins. It seemed that Liu Jing had spent a thousand words on a simple question, but after it was spread, I believe that all the people in Guiyang would soon know it, so naturally there was no doubt about Liu Jing's orders. After that, Liu Jing posted an Anmin notice and the people in Guiyang would also actively cooperate.

In this sense, Liu Jing spent this 10,000 yuan very worthwhile. He not only knew the real situation in Guiyang City, but also played a role in soothing the people's hearts. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

According to the information provided by these people, Liu Jing learned that in recent days, the Wu army had not had a large number of troops passing through Guiyang. Just a team of hundreds of people came to the north. They set the fire in the city. After setting the fire, these people were urgently evacuated from the south gate.

Of course, Liu Jing would not doubt that these civilians would lie, because many people could see how many people the Wu army had entered. Once they lie, they would easily be exposed. These civilians had no interest in reconciling the government, and there was no need to tell such a terrible lie for the sake of the Wu army, because the cost of lying was quite high and they might lose their heads.

After receiving this news, Liu Jing could easily determine that the main force of the Wu army had not arrived in Guiyang at all, and the Wu army set up a supply point in Guiyang just to confuse the Wei army. In the end, they set fire to burn the food and supplies stored in advance, and to prevent these food and supplies from falling into the hands of the Wei army.

It seems that the Wei army was really fooled by Shi Ji this time. It was such a plank road that was built openly and crossed Chencang secretly. The Wei army chased the Wu army all the way, but after chasing Guiyang, he found that the main force of the Wu army had disappeared. This is a terrible thing!

Although Liu Jing's face looked ugly, he was not angry. After all, the Wu army fled quite quickly along the way. Although the Wei army had cavalry and was better than the Wu army in terms of marching speed, it had been a huge distance from the Wu army before, and all they could do was to keep narrowing this distance.

When the Wei army was closest to the Wu army, it was at least a hundred miles apart. There was such a long distance. If the Wu army was ready to change course in advance, the Wei army would be really unprepared to be on guard.

After all, there are quite a lot of branch roads along the way, and the Wei army cannot send troops to investigate one by one. They can only pursue the prescribed route. Na Zhi chased Guiyang, but found that he was chasing him.

Then where did the Wu army escape?

Obviously, it is impossible to get an answer when asking the people of Guiyang. The main force of the Wu army did not reach Guiyang at all, so it is naturally impossible for the people of Guiyang to know where the Wu army was.

Liu Jing could only place his hope on the Wu army who fled after setting fire. They had just left Guiyang shortly after, and it was not difficult to catch up with them at the speed of the Jinqi camp.

Zhang Qiao really lived up to Liu Jing's hope. He quickly led the cavalry back. A few of the Wu army who set fire to escape were fleeing, most of them were either killed or captured alive. Zhang Qiao captured at least hundreds of people. He escorted these prisoners of war and quickly returned to Guiyang City.

The sudden disappearance of the main force of the Wu army made Zhang Qiao deeply puzzled. He led the Jinqi battalion as the vanguard along the way and drove forward without finding any abnormalities, but he disappeared without a trace. Zhang Qiao also knew that Liu Jing must be extremely anxious, so he hurried back with these prisoners of war.

Liu Jing immediately brought these prisoners of war and went to interrogate them separately, but the Wu soldiers they captured were all ordinary soldiers from the lower class. They were only ordered to come to Guiyang to do business, and what they did was to set fire to burn the food and supplies stockpiled in Guiyang.

As for where the main force of the Wu army was, they were confused and didn't know at all.

Liu Jing asked the leader of the team, but was told that this person had just been killed when he was pursued by the Wei army. It was estimated that this person was Shi Ji's confidant, and only he should know the whereabouts of the main force of the Wu army, but once this person died, all the clues were cut off.
