"General, it should be a local scout, a small team, only a dozen or so people, has been taken by the brothers!"

"Are you sure there are no fish that have slipped through the net?"

"I've got ninety percent of me!"

Hearing this, Huan Wen nodded, which was relatively satisfied.

It was inevitable that the team would encounter local scouts, and it had been expected for a long time.

Although the number of troops is small and the actions have been hidden, it is almost impossible not to leak the news at all. The only thing that could be done was to spread the sergeants out a little when they set up camp, so that the enemy could not figure out what was going on here.

This time, it was the troops stationed in the west who encountered the scouts of Zhao and encountered a battle.

Scouts are a small force that is mainly used for reconnaissance, with strong mobility and average attack power. But it is not easy to completely eradicate it.

Scouts are the eyes of the army, and when they are on duty, although they are a whole team, the distance between the front and back can be very large. This is a tactic used to escape, and in the event of an encounter with an enemy army, it is used to ensure that the scouts who are far behind have a certain chance to flee for their lives and report the enemy situation to their own large forces. Fighting, on the contrary, is something they try to avoid.

Spotting enemy scouts and annihilating them completely is not an easy task.

The battalion commander in front of him has followed Huan Wen from birth to death for many years, and he usually acts calmly and properly. Being able to say from his mouth that the total annihilation is ninety percent, Huan Wen is already very satisfied.

"Don't worry, General. The few troops we have stationed in the west are all in accordance with the orders of the great general. They are all hung with the banners of the Yan Army. Even if there is really something that slips through the net, it should not arouse the vigilance of the other party. "The camp tent holds its fists.

Huan Wen bowed his head and thought for a moment. Ordered: "Let the soldiers and horses of the sixth battalion retreat thirty miles east and set up camp, and you can see the specific location." General Murong, how is the situation on the Yan army's side? ”

Murong Ke and Huan Wen sat on the upper seat together, and at this time, they bowed their hands slightly at Huan Wen and said, "It's still the same, occasionally there are small forces to harass, but it's all a small fight." ”

"Which one is Zhao Guo leading the troops?"

"It's the banner of the right Sima Chengya. But the one who led the troops seemed to be Cheng Yao's nephew Cheng Lu. Murong Ke replied.

The battalion commander who came to report said with a smile: "That Cheng Lu is just a fifteen or sixteen teenager, and he doesn't understand bullshit." Zhao actually used him to defend the border, which shows that the country's strength has declined! ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Murong Ke shook his head slightly. "I once heard of Cheng Lu, who was originally a lieutenant in Zhao Guoguo, but now he came here to fight the border, and he really wanted to seek some military merits. The fifteen or sixteen boy may not have enough strategy. But it is an age when he does not know death and is not afraid of death. If it's a hard battle, I'm afraid there will be a lot of damage. ”

Murong Ke said to Huan Wen: "General Huan, I have ordered my subordinates to temporarily avoid his edge, ......what do you mean?"

Huan Wen nodded and said, "I haven't ushered in the main master yet, so it's really not interesting to deal with a miscellaneous fish." Killing chickens with a knife is not to lose proportion because of a small young man. ”

Huan Wen said, and everyone around him said yes.

"In the past few days, Zhao Guo has fought with our department three times. With the restless nature of a teenager, it should be difficult to calm this breath. If my estimate is good. In the next two days, Cheng Lu's side should send troops. Murong Ke said.

"What General Murong said is reasonable, but before the north is arranged, it is still not good for us to act rashly here." Xi Chao continued at this time, "General Huan, please also give an order to let our army avoid it as much as possible, and it is best not to confront the Zhao army, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party." General Murong, Xi Chao doesn't cherish feathers, but these things are still cautious, what do you say? ”

Murong Ke smiled and said, "Lord Xi is too careful, this is what I originally meant. Since it is a common defense against the enemy, do you really want to spend time and energy on the suspicion of friendly forces? ”

He looked at Huan Wen on his right, and said with a smile: "General Huan and I are all the way, and we have already seen this." ”

"Don't dare to be." Huan Wen arched his hand at Murong Ke, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Now that the discussion has been completed, I will take my leave first." Murong Ke just straightened his body and bowed slightly, "There are still two days left in the north, please wait for the good news." ”

After Murong Ke left, Huan Wen roughly arranged the future deployment, and then they dispersed, leaving only Xi Chao in the tent and talking about some private arrangements.

After discussing the matter, Xue Zicheng also walked in at this time.

Huan Wen glanced at him, remembered what Xi Chao had said to him before, was a little silent for a while, and then asked, "Zicheng, according to your knowledge, there are really cultivators in this world who can understand the things in front of and behind him?" ”

Xue Zicheng didn't know what was going on, but he was suddenly called over, and was asked by Huan Wen, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "When did the general become interested in this kind of thing?" I thought that with the temperament of a general, he never believed in fate. ”

"Believe it or not is another matter, you first state your opinion." Huan Wen said in a deep voice.

Xue Zicheng saw that Huan Wen's face was solemn, and the whole person also restrained his smile, and said carefully: "The matter of gossip and destiny is not traceless, after all, everything in the world is related to aura, and aura also contains everything and records everything. This may seem like a metaphor, but natural things are intertwined, with a beginning and an end, and the beginning and the end are connected...... Logically speaking, insight into the world is absolutely achievable. Just ......"

"Just what?" Xi Chao was a little anxious.

"There are indeed many cultivators in the world who have comprehended this path, but most of them are half-hearted, and there are no longer a few who are not allowed to say anything. After all, such a thing as the Mandate of Heaven is too complicated for ordinary cultivators to understand. Xue Zicheng frowned.

Huan Wen asked in a deep voice, "Then according to you, what level of cultivator can predict more accurately?" ”

"It's hard to say," Xue Zicheng shook his head, "After all, I'm not a monk along the way, and my knowledge of this is really limited...... How could the general suddenly be interested in this matter? ”

Xue Zicheng looked at Huan Wen's expression in confusion, but he couldn't see anything for a while. On the contrary, it was Xi Chao who opened his mouth: "Zicheng, in your opinion, with Xie Xiaoman's cultivation, how much truth can be true or false in what she said?" ”

"What's ......" Xue Zicheng was obviously stunned.

Xi Chao smiled bitterly: "I'll go before...... persuaded to leave, who knew that the other party did not agree, but read me two lines of poetry. ”

"What poem?"

"Cao Cao's "Tanka Xing." Huan Wen glanced at Xi Chao, "I have a guest, drumming and blowing sheng." ”

Xue Zicheng was puzzled, and said: "This is not a new thing, after all, Lord Xi's character is a guest, this is a well-known thing, how does it have anything to do with predicting good luck?" ”

Huan Wen said in a deep voice: "Because there is another sentence in front of her: The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Xue Zicheng stopped talking.

The latter sentence is clear to everyone.

Zhou Gong spit out his breasts, and the world returns to his heart......

Xi Chao looked at Xue Zicheng's changing complexion, added a few words, and talked in detail about the conversation between the two at that time. So, the three of them fell silent for a while.

"If it's just a simple "Tanka Xing", it's just the meaning of this before and after......" Xue Zicheng hesitated and spoke, "General, according to my shallow knowledge, this kind of thing is indeed incredible. It's just that I've seen a lot of incredible things these days. I have to say...... Ay! Let's put it this way!" Xue Zicheng smiled bitterly with self-deprecation, "In my opinion, Xie Xiaoman's words have to be believed, but he can't be fully believed. This may seem like nonsense, but for us, I'm afraid it's the only state we can maintain now. ”

This was a bit of a trick, but everyone present understood it.

Xue Zicheng's words did not simply refer to Xie Xiaoman's words, but also to Xie Xiaoman and Xia Hua.

The relationship between those two people and the Western Army has long been formed in an almost subtle way.

Xia Hua is a near-god existence, Xue Zicheng is self-aware, and knows that he is almost like an ant in front of the other party, so he never dares to provoke.

But Xia Hua is not a complete threat in the Western Army. Just as she was still treating the sergeants today, Xia Hua occasionally did some good deeds. Although Xue Zicheng himself understands that Xia Hua's words and actions are just accumulating the power of his faith, after all, this is a mutually beneficial and win-win thing, and no one will be bored.

Moreover, another important aspect is that having a monk of the level of Xia Hua in the army is like an atomic bomb, which will have a deterrent effect on the enemy army.

Not to mention that his Western Army and the Yan Army are cooperating, of course, there is a delicate relationship between the two armies. Let's just say that it is a simple enemy, there are similar monks in the Zhao army, but once they are deterred by a character like Xia Hua, I am afraid that they will have fled for their lives far away, where is there any threat.

As mentioned before, this is a very delicate situation, and it can even be said that it is a balance in the midst of chaos. No one wants to break it until the last resort is absolutely necessary.

However, there is one thing that is very unfortunate. If Xia Hua was really an atomic bomb, the detonator was not in the hands of the Western Army.

Next to him is a powerful killing weapon that can deter the enemy and pose a threat to himself, in Xi Chao's opinion, this kind of thing is still good to stay away. That's why he did Fang Cai's act of persuasion.

It's just a pity that for the relationship between Xie Xiaoman and Xia Hua, Huan Wen and the others watched it from a distance, but it was the moon in the water and the mist, and they couldn't understand it faintly. Including Xue Zicheng himself, although he knew some secrets, he still couldn't guess Xia Hua's thoughts, so such a chain of suspicion was formed.

At this moment, Xie Xiaoman, who was at the other end of the chain of suspicion, was sitting on high ground and watching the scenery.

To the west, smoke and dust were rising, and it seemed that an army was retreating eastward.

This is not unusual.

It's just that farther away, faintly in the distance, there are also some almost imperceptible smoke and sounds that are slowly coming along the ground...... (To be continued......)
