The Scout Camp hid for two days in the valley north of Razor County, and the soldiers of the Scout Camp did nothing but eat cold food and sleep for two days.

Zhao Yi knew in his heart that there must be some change in the enemy army, he sat with his back against a pine tree, a dead grass in his mouth, and looked in the direction of the mountain.

In the past two days, Zhao Yi had only seen Jing Song from afar, but he didn't say hello, and he didn't go to Jing Song's camp once.

The last words of the two in the camp that day had already explained to each other that in the scout camp, there were only sergeant Zhao Yi and captain Jing Song, and they had no other relationship.

The little clever ghost wildcat sat silently beside Zhao Yi like a civet cat.

"Zhao Yi, what are you thinking?"

Wildcat is only seventeen or eighteen years old, the closest age to Zhao Yi, and the most eccentric, like a childlike heart.

Zhao Yi turned his head and smiled at the wild cat, shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything." ”

The wild cat stretched out his head, looked like a thief, and whispered: "I didn't think about anything, my eyes are straight, are you thinking about women?"

Listening to the words of the wild cat, Zhao Yi's young heart protruded, and he immediately smiled: "Don't you know, the soft embroidered heavenly street in Junshan City is a famous place of fireworks in the world, and the girl there is a ...... of water and water."

Zhao Yi's expression as an old tourist pretended to be seven points alike.

"Brother, I'll take you to see and see in the future. ”

said a word that made the lustful and ignorant wild cat's face flushed, but his heart was extremely expectant.

At this time, Elder Wu walked over, stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Yi's head, and scolded: "The half-grown fart is here to talk about women, don't use your market hooligan to teach bad wild cats." ”

As soon as the old man said this, the wild cat blushed even more, and he smirked vigorously, Zhao Yi covered his head exaggeratedly, and also smiled at the old man.

There were also a few soldiers next to him, who also eavesdropped on their conversation, and they all laughed ambiguously.

The scout battalion stayed in this nameless valley for three days before receiving an order to open a detour to Mang Shan in the east, secretly enter Huaizhou, which had been occupied by the East Vietnamese army, and wait for an opportunity to attack the rear of the East Vietnamese army.

The scout battalion is worthy of being the sharp knife battalion of the Shenfeng Army of the First Army of Chu State, for the task, regardless of the difficulty, tireless and hard, resolute execution, and decisive action.

Detoured to Mangshan, all the way was a deep mountain path, the road was rugged, they had to leave their war horses and walk on foot, but that's it, more than 300 miles away, they ran in less than two days.

Arriving outside Huaizhou City, the scouts who arrived one step ahead of time had already figured out the situation in Huaizhou City and were waiting at the agreed place.

After becoming familiar with the situation in Huaizhou City, Jing Song made a quick decision, led a scout battalion of 1,000 people, and attacked Huaizhou City overnight, taking the East Vietnamese army by surprise, and all the defenders in the city were captured except for a few dead and wounded.

At the same time that the scout battalion took Huaizhou City, the 20,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry led by General Huwei of Dongyue also arrived at Xiling City, the capital of Jiangxia County.

On the third day after the scout battalion attacked and occupied Huaizhou City, Wei Tian, the captain of the Shenfeng Military Academy, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Huaizhou City to take over the defense.

Wei Tian is one of the twelve captains of the Shenfeng Army, one of the few captains who are not from a family, and with his military merits and loyalty, he has been promoted step by step to his current position, and he has real talent and hard work.

Although Jing Song is young, he is straightforward, does not have the arrogant habits of the children of the family, advocates true talent and hard work, and has always been friendly with Wei Tian, who is from a humble background but has talents.

happened to meet this time, if it weren't for the military emergency, the two of them would have to find a place and have a drink.

On the city tower, Jing Song and Wei Tian sat opposite each other, but they drank not wine, but tea.

"Brother Wei, this time the younger brother will toast you with tea instead of wine, and when we return to Junshan City victoriously, we will have another drink. Jing Song said as he held up the teacup in his hand.

Wei Tian also picked up the teacup and touched Jing Song, and said, "I wish my army victory, do it!"

Jing Song put down the teacup, frowned and asked, "Brother Wei, we recaptured Huaizhou City so easily, is there any conspiracy here?"

Wei Tian smiled and said: "Liu Ba's army shook a shot in Lei Ze, their target is still Xiling, and now their army has come to Xiling City." ”

Jing Song nodded and said, "They made such a big detour, the purpose is to confuse us and want to transfer out the Xiling garrison. ”

Wei Tian stood up, stood by his sword, and raised his eyes to look out of the city, two hundred miles away in that direction, it was Xiling City, the capital of Jiangxia County.

A siege battle is taking place there.

"The general has decided to completely eat Liu Ba's 20,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry under Xiling City. Wei Tian said.

Jing Song stood up suddenly, also stood by the city wall, raised his eyes to look out of the city, and slapped his right hand on the city wall fiercely, "That's it!"

As soon as the city defense was handed over, Wei Tian grabbed Jing Song, who was hurrying to Xiling, and asked him to leave a part of the scouts to assist in the defense of Huaizhou City.

Jing Song didn't say a word, he left a hundred scouts and appointed Jiang Yong as the scout captain, and of course the one where Zhao Yi was was also left.

During the Spring and Autumn War, Huaizhou City was a strategic place for the southern countries to compete for, and successive occupiers have repaired and strengthened the city defense of Huaizhou City.

It is based on the high and thick city wall of Huaizhou City, and it is made of loess mixed with glutinous rice juice, and it is built with rammed earth and tamped, which is very strong and durable.

After Wei Tian took over Huaizhou City, he immediately set about doing several things.

The first thing is to restore normal order in the city, and implement the external tightening and internal relaxation.

The second thing was to rearrange the city defenses, and ordered the deputy general Li Zhen to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to be stationed in the north of the city, forming an angle with the city.

The third thing was to send a hundred scouts led by Jiang Yong to operate in the north and east of Huaizhou, and always monitor the movements of the East Vietnamese army.

Jiang Yong asked a hundred scouts, all of whom took off their scout uniforms as units, turned into ordinary people, and carried out activities in Fangxian, Gucheng, Nanzhang and other places.

Fang County, which is adjacent to Dangjun in Dongyue, received that Huaizhou City was captured by the Dongyue army, and the county commander Yao Shude led a subordinate of the county government and a hundred city defense battalions to surrender to Dongyue.

Not far from the West City Gate, there is a tavern called Lao Zhang's family, the tavern is not big, only enough to put four or five tables, and the owner is a local.

At this time, it was lunch time, and there were a few people in the tavern, and the business was neither salty nor light.

A group of five people walked into the tavern, all dressed as countrymen, and found a table to sit down after entering.

The tavern owner had a thief's eyes, and he had already seen it, the wine and dinner of five people, this was a big business in the store, and he was busy going to entertain with a smile.

The five people were not ambiguous, they ordered a pot of wine and several meat dishes, and the tavern owner was happy in his heart, and gave the five people a small pot of wine.

These five people are the old men and others who are active in Fang County.

After ordering the food and drinks, the five of them looked around, pretending to be ordinary countrymen chatting.

"The situation is urgent, the king of Dongyue has secretly sent the general Hu Yanzhuo of Fenwei to lead an army of 20,000 and go straight to Huaizhou City, we must rush back to Huaizhou City as soon as possible and report the situation to General Wei. The old man whispered.

The crowd nodded.

Zhao Yi suddenly frowned, pretended to look at the street outside casually, and then lowered his head to drink water.

"Leave as soon as you finish eating. The old man commanded again.

Although the scout camp is hard and always in danger, the military salary is twice as high, which is really as Jiang Yong said to Zhao Yi: not only can he be fed, but he can also be raised strong.

The wine and food came up after a while, and the tavern owner was honest and sincere, and the portion of the food was very large, and everyone picked up the chopsticks and began to gobble it up.

The old man seemed to remember something, and whispered while eating: "Everyone remember to be careful, every time a large army in East Vietnam goes out, there will be a 'mirage' first." ”

"What is a 'mirage'?" Zhao Yi said curiously.

The old man looked around, and then said in a low voice: "'Mirage' is said to be a dark organization led by the King of the East China Sea himself, and there are many capable people in it, who are responsible for espionage and assassination operations. ”

"It turned out to be a shadow. Zhao Yi nodded.

At this time, two more people came into the tavern, also dressed as ordinary people, and when they came in, they sat next to the old man's table.

The old man glanced at it, didn't care, and still lowered his head to eat his meal.

Zhao Yi ate quickly, and after the three bowls of rice were in his stomach, he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

He got up and walked to the counter, asked the boss for a bamboo skewer, then leaned his elbow on the counter, slowly picked his teeth, and after picking his teeth, the bamboo skewer bit in his mouth and did not throw it away, and then walked back to his seat slowly.

This time and again, I had already seen the two people at the next table clearly.

After Zhao Yi sat down, he gave the old man a look, and everyone looked at Zhao Yi's eyes, and the old man nodded and motioned for everyone to continue eating.

Two pots of wine, the old man didn't drink it, Yan Chong didn't drink it, the wild cat wanted to drink it, but was beaten back by the old man, Zhao Yi picked up the wine jug and smelled it, saying that the wine was too bad and he was not interested in drinking, and in the end he only drank two big bowls.

Yan Chong went to the counter to settle the account, and the five of them went out, and the old man deliberately said loudly: "I'll go to the market with Manniu to have a look, buy some guys, and you guys will have fun, so go back to the village as soon as possible, so as not to worry about your mother." ”

Zhao Yi said with a hippie smile: "Uncle, let's play again, it's hard to enter the city, let's go back, how boring!"

Yan Chong on the side pulled Zhao Yi and complained: "Xiao Yizi, let's go back, otherwise I will be scolded by my aunt again." ”

Zhao Yi was anxious, he wanted the old man to take someone away first, and he came to take care of those "mirages", but the old man didn't know Zhao Yi's true strength, so he would let him, Yan Chong, and Wildcat go first to report the news.

Zhao Yi pretended to be reluctant, and followed Yan Chong and the wild cat to the West City Gate.

The old man and the bull slowly paced towards the market in the east of the city.

The conversation just now is not only acting, but also hiding code words.

The old man meant that Zhao Yi, Yan Chong, and Wild Cat Zi would bring the information back first, and he and the wild cattle would deal with the "mirage" of East Vietnam.
