However, before Duanmujing could think of a way, the imperial court first received the recital presented by the border pass~~!
"Asking for a change of guard and cleaning up some small groups of bandits?" Duanmu Shuxuan frowned when he saw General Chang's performance at the border pass, but he also clearly explained why he did this.
It turns out that the border pass army led by General Chang is guarding the Tiger Roar Pass for a while, although it is said to be a strategic place, but it is some distance from the border between the two countries, if Da Yue once attacks, even if the Tiger Roar Pass reacts quickly, but it is impossible to fight back at the fastest speed, but can only choose passive defense, and the land outside the Tiger Roar Pass will be easily taken by Da Yue at that time.
At present, there is a drought that is rare for more than ten years in Dayue, which has led to a large number of deaths in the grasslands and livestock husbandry, and at this time, many tribes in Dayue will choose to come to Nanshu to plunder to relieve their own pressure, so they hope to be able to change their guards at this time and go to the border, so that they can deter Dayue; second, if a small group of Dayue tribes come to attack, they can also defeat the other party; third, they can also give recruits a chance to test.
The change of defense of the army has always been a major event of the imperial court, according to the past situation, the military generals will try their best to refuse the things proposed by the generals, and in order to weigh the government and the opposition, although Duanmu Shuxuan does not feel that there is any necessity in the matter of changing the guard, but he still puts himself on the position of the military on this issue.
Of course, this is also the same as in the past, just put on a show, anyway, according to the past situation, this proposal will eventually be hindered by civil officials with various reasons, but it is completely beyond Duanmu Shuxuan's expectations, although the change of defense was initially hindered, but in the end, it was passed inexplicably, and even at the end, Duanmu Shuxuan himself signed the will to agree to change the defense without understanding something.

"General Li, the army can be pulled out now~!" said an elegant middle-aged man in a white robe to General Li with a smile.
"Mr. Feng is really powerful~~!" General Li held half of the tiger talisman in his hand and asked in surprise: "But how can Mr. Feng be sure that this change of defense will be achieved so easily?"
"That's because someone wants this result~~!" Mr. Feng put away the usual smile on his face when he said this, and said with a very solemn expression: "There shouldn't be anything wrong with the news that Feng got this time, so I also asked General Li to mobilize elite troops to go~~!"
For this Mr. Feng, who has a somewhat mysterious background, General Li still trusts him very much, and now His Majesty's will to agree to change the guard has come down, even if he does not encounter Dayue's army in the past, it is just an ordinary military movement, and no one will say anything, but once Dayue attacks, if he can know and carry out effective defense and counterattack at the first time, it will definitely be a great feat, and his position as a general may be further ~!
Therefore, General Li was of course very happy to do this thing that was beneficial to himself and harmless, so soon all the troops were deployed, and under Mr. Feng's proposal, General Li's army became very low-key, so that when the army went to Qingshui City, the spies on Dayue's side noticed some rumors.
"Bang~~~!bang~~~!"
After two shrill gunshots, the bodies of the two people who were galloping on horseback fell limply, and as the people on their bodies fell, the speed of the horses slowed down slowly, and then I saw three strangely dressed people running down the door of the hill not far away.
"Hehe~~~!This is the first wave of the past few days?These guys are really going to die on the pole~~!" said a young man with a smile as he led the six sturdy horses.
"This horse is really good~~!" Another man patted the horse's back vigorously and said, "Otherwise, let's just keep these horses~~!"
"Don't mess around~~~!, we still have to lurk here, keep these horses to be exposed, if you want good horses, then work hard, and when this task is completed, go back and talk about meritorious deeds, and there can be less good things!" The man in the lead is a man in his thirties, and his full beard makes him look fierce, but the people who are familiar with him are actually very good.
"Hehe~~~!That's ~~~~!" As soon as they heard their heads say this, the two people immediately opened their eyebrows and laughed, yes!! What kind of person is his master, what kind of good things do you want, as long as you complete this task this time, what good things do you want at that time!
Thinking of these two people's things was even more quick, they tied the two corpses to the horses, and then rode on the horses and walked forward, while the big man who left behind carefully cleaned all the blood and some traces left on the ground, and then retreated back to the small hill before, and after half an hour, the two people who had gone out also came back on foot.
"It's all taken care of?" the big man asked as soon as he saw that his two men had returned.
"It's cleaned up~~!" the two men nodded and said, they had just taken the horses and the corpses to a pre-prepared place, killed the horses and buried the corpses.
He was still very relieved about his subordinates, and if it weren't for it, they wouldn't have said that they would be a team to carry out this task.
"I don't think we'll be able to go back soon~~!" said Dahan, who took out a small tin pot from his arms, twisted open the bottle and drank a small sip of the liquid inside, and after drinking, he handed the tin pot to his subordinates.
The two people also drank some of the liquid in the tin pot in turn, and after the youngest guy finished drinking, he smashed his mouth and said: "After we complete this mission, go back and drink a good wine, just drinking these sugar water is really not enjoyable~~!"
"You are still picky about what good things to drink~~!" another one glared at him and said: "That is, we have such good things to drink when we go on a mission, if you talk about it, the price of this thing is not lower than those good wines!"
"I know~~!, but this thing is not as sweet as wine~~!" the young man said with a smile.
"Okay~~!" the big man took back the small tin pot and said to them: "After this mission is completed, Lao Tzu invites a few of you to have a good drink, and I still have two jars of good wine that the chief manager rewarded last time~~!"
As soon as they heard that their head said please drink, and that they were still asking for good wine, both of them were overjoyed. You must know that they are strictly forbidden to drink alcohol when they are on a mission, although the sweet liquid just now is a good thing, but compared to the spicy wine, they still prefer the latter, plus the task is about to be completed, the joy in this heart can be imagined. But at this moment, the big man suddenly put away the smile on his face, and then lay on the ground and listened carefully.
"Monkey, take a look~~!" Dahan commanded as he listened to the movement.
The guy called Monkey hurriedly took out a pair of exquisitely made monoculars from his arms, and crawled on the hill to carefully observe the situation in the distance, and soon his expression became very solemn.
"Boss, it's a team of big moon cavalry, looking at the posture and equipment, it should be the advance reconnaissance team~~!" After the monkey finished speaking, he handed the telescope in his hand to the big man beside him.
Dahan picked up his glasses and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw a cavalry squad of twenty people, and these twenty people carried twenty-six horses, and they were unified in their starting weapons, and they knew at a glance that they were the advance team of the Great Moon Cavalry.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" asked the monkey, a little nervous.
Dahan took back his glasses and gave them back to the monkey and said: "Monkey, two knives, let's withdraw~~! The other party is a team that came out to explore the way, and it must follow the big army behind~~!Let's hurry up and meet Erbao and Wood, and then find out the specific situation of the other party~~!"
"Okay~~!" for the command of their head, the monkey and the second knife did not hesitate, and hurriedly started to pack up their things, and soon each of them put on a special backpack, and after cleaning up the surrounding traces, the three of them quickly left here, and when they walked almost a stick of incense, the cavalry team arrived.
"What's wrong, Boss, why did you come back? Could it be that something has changed in the back?" although Wood is called Wood, he is actually not stupid, on the contrary, he is the smartest of the five-person team.
"Hmm~~!I just found a standard cavalry squad in Dayue, it is estimated that it is a pathfinder, and it should be followed by a large army!" Dahan wiped the sweat from his face, then took off the water bladder from his waist and drank a few sips of water.
"From the point of view of time, it's almost the same as the information we got before~~!" Mu was not surprised to hear this, because the previous information had already investigated the situation on Otsuki's side very clearly, and if it was extrapolated from the time, Otsuki's army should indeed have arrived.
"Judging by the speed of their travel, they will definitely spend the night in the pasture in front of them at night~~!When the time comes, let's go over and understand the general situation, and then retreat~~!"
"Hmm~~!" Mu nodded in agreement, anyway, their task has been basically completed by now, and it's time to go back, as for Otsuki's army, they can almost understand the situation, there is no need to do superfluous things, and just a few of them, even if they want to do something, they can't do it!
But at this time, Erbao, who had always been silent, suddenly said: "There is a small river near here, and I have some powerful laxatives here~~!"
"Hehe~~~!Erbao, you guy is really too wilting, it's broken!" After hearing Erbao's words, the big man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
But then he ordered: "Monkey, wood, you two cover Erbao to go upstream and belly, Erdao, you and I stay here to collect intelligence~!"
The five of them quickly split into two teams and began to move towards different goals.
Dayue's army soon came to this grassland, although it is still early now, but this grassland is relatively abundant, and there is a small river nearby, which is definitely the most ideal camp, so this time the general Camdo who led the team ordered to set up camp here, and when the army was just stationed, he immediately saw that there were soldiers going to the small river not far away to fetch water.
"Brother Erbao, when are we going to get drugged?" The monkey in a camouflage suit lay on the upper reaches of the small river, looking at the Dayue soldiers below who were fetching water back and forth, and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry~~!I'm waiting~~!" Erbao didn't look anxious at all, "Now the water that those guys fetch is used to clean things, and the water they fetch is used for cooking after a while, and at that time we are drugged~~!"
Hearing Erbao's explanation, the monkey looked at each other with admiration, he was in charge of sniping in this squad, and he was also the youngest, so many things were not very clear!
Sure enough, after a while, Erbao took out a small jar from his big backpack, and after he opened the seal, he directly poured all the brown powder in it into the small river, and then immediately retreated with Erdao and the monkey.
This time the drugging situation was very smooth, and when it got dark, there were a lot of soldiers in Dayue's army who had diarrhea, and the entire barracks were in chaos for a while, although some people suspected that it was a problem with the water source, but Erbao was drugged at that time and it was all calculated, and now the flowing water has already washed away everything that can be found, and after the investigation of the big moon, he didn't find anything.
And at this time, Dahan wore a big moon soldier's costume with two knives, spoke an authentic big moon language, and took advantage of the chaos to get into the barracks, but the two of them didn't venture in to spy on anything, but just roughly understood the situation of the army, and after the follow-up army was led by people, they took advantage of the chaos to leave, and then met with Erbao and Monkey, and the five of them hurried back overnight to report the news.
"This 50,000 army is the vanguard, and there are 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry in the back, a total of 100,000 troops~~!" The news that the big man brought back was quickly sent out.
