Jiangxia is located in the south, the county is hilly, on a slightly higher mountain, I saw several Han soldiers lurking here, coldly observing everything under the mountain.

They are all excellent scouts under the command of Fu Quan, and an old marquis of more than thirty years is commanded by several barbarians with sharp legs and feet, and flexible minds. As Fu Quan became more and more in control of the Ban Yu barbarians who had gradually become naturalized, and even listened to Fu Quan's orders alone, he also began to gradually promote some grassroots barbarians to army officers, so that those henchmen who followed him all the way from the Beijing division were promoted to high positions, but this scout was not promoted.

After all, the Gaine reconnaissance force used the words of later generations to be a technical weapon, and it was undoubtedly a bit ambitious to expect those barbarians whose military experience was obviously not as rich as that of the Han army to become qualified scouts. Therefore, the old Hou Cai, who should have been promoted like other colleagues, still just did not move in his position, of course, since he became a soldier, this old Hou Qi did not have too many complaints, because he was also aware of his duties, and he did not need to fight head-on, as long as he hid himself and found out the enemy's intelligence.

"Chief, the thief army is coming." A barbarian suddenly pointed to the obviously undressed soldiers and horses under the mountain behind him and shouted, the old marquis was shocked, and quickly looked over, only to see that the group of barbarians was only about three hundred people.

It's just that these rebels seem to be marching very slowly, not at all like the speed of an army, but then everyone thought that this army might have followed their own army to investigate the situation, so the march was extremely slow but also relieved, it seems that this is the only explanation, which is very reasonable.

Of course, among all the people, only the old marquis did not think so. I saw that he looked stunned, but in his heart, he secretly said what the purpose of this group of rebels was following. Because if these thieves are here to pursue the Han army, these three hundred or so Han barbarian coalition troops are obviously not enough to see in front of more than 5,000 people on their side, if they are here to inquire about the news, obviously this number is too much, normal words to send scouts at most ten or twenty people is enough, where to send about 300 people? It's really confusing.

At this moment, when the old marquis was still confused, the young soldier who was a barbaric man was a little impatient, and said in a low voice: "Shi Chang, it's time to go back to the camp at this moment." "This barbarian soldier is also the first time to really combat reconnaissance, if he used to fight against the Han army on the battlefield with his own clan, of course he is as fierce as the clansmen with blood and is not afraid of death, but now he has a few of his own people, scouting those rebels on this nameless hill, of course he is a little panicked in his heart, if it is discovered, can a few of them beat hundreds of rebels?

"Wait, take a look at it again, and be careful not to be discovered." With experience and an indescribable intuition, the old marquis rejected the soldier's proposal and ordered his subordinates to wait a little longer.

Although the soldiers under the old marquis's cavalry were unwilling in their hearts, after all, although the scouts were more dangerous than ordinary soldiers, no one wanted to die, did they? But now because of Shangguan's order, they have to obey if they don't want to obey, so they can only obediently press their bodies lower, and even take off the sash on their heads, for fear that the cold reflection of the sash and the cherry red tassel on it will reveal their identities.

In the distance, the Han Barbarian coalition army was still marching, and I saw a banner with the word "horse" raised in the middle of their army. Although these Jiangxia barbarians still retain their barbarian language, clothes, and even customs, after all, they have lived with the Han people for many years, and they can still speak Chinese, and since the uprising, in order for the Han and barbarians in the Han barbarian coalition army to accept the command, there is no doubt that writing the banner in Chinese characters is more acceptable to the soldiers in the coalition army.

In addition, the leader of the rebel army, Huang Sui, although he has a good relationship with the barbarians, is undoubtedly an authentic Han Chinese, and for various reasons, the high-level leaders of these uprisings must of course use Chinese characters instead of barbarian characters. Otherwise, if you use the totemic language of the barbarians as a liaison flag, the Han people in the coalition army can't understand it, won't there be the consequences of cannibalism?

When this group of men and horses was complete, everyone in the scout team did not feel anything unusual, and the soldiers looked at their bosses with resentment, but they did not dare to speak up, but their faces kept telling the complaints in their hearts.

However, the old marquis only didn't see it, still staring at the rebels who were getting farther and farther away, and finally he noticed something unusual, because he was a little excited, pointed to the back of the rebel troops and hurriedly shouted: "Look, these are not thieves. "Probably because of the excitement, the voice is a little louder than when it was hidden before, if it was just now, it would not have been heard by the thief, but now because of the distance, it is fine.

Everyone was so surprised by the old marquis, their faces were puzzled, they didn't know what he meant, and at the same time secretly said that their experienced old official suddenly what was wrong, and he didn't have the calm of the old scout at all. As the scouts pointed in the direction, their faces changed, as they also noticed the strangeness of the rebels, who were not all traitors at all, and most of them were probably fakes.

After careful observation, they found some women behind the rebels, and even old men and women who walked slowly, it seemed that only the Jiangxia barbarians who led the way in front were the real rebels, and the others were disguised by some old and weak people.

Obviously, the rebels put on some shabby armor and clothes for these old and weak people, and pretended to be an army that came to march and reconnoitre, because they had old and weak people in their army, so the march was extremely slow. However, the rebels' idea is good, at least this can confuse the Han army, but under the observation of the old and spicy old marquis, the same is still exposed.

But how can these rebels allow the old and weak to disguise themselves as armies? And with such a swaggering march, is there any conspiracy in this?

Everyone on the hill looked at each other, obviously puzzled, and even the old marquis couldn't figure it out for a while. However, for them, scouts, they don't need to think about the situation if they don't understand it, anyway, when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, and they just need to report this information to Shangguan.

Several people hurriedly packed their bags, and then diverted from the road of the "rebels" who had just left, and quickly rushed to the main army from another road. At this moment, the brisk speed of the legs and feet of the barbarians is reflected, they have been walking in the mountains and forests since they were children, the walking speed is not generally fast, the old Hou of the Han people rode because there were no horses, the speed could not compare with them at all, and in the end, it was still carried back and forth by a few young barbarians to catch up with the Han army.

There is no way, after all, the Han army came from the waterway, the carrying capacity is limited, and there is no one else except for the senior general, for this old scout who is used to war horses, if he wants to report the situation quickly without a war horse, it is obviously a little reluctant to move forward on his legs and feet. And in order to be able to report the situation in time, this old marquis didn't rely on the help of those young barbarian soldiers, and it was not certain that he would run on the road and get leg cramps.

In the military department of the Han army, Fu Quan, who had been thinking about the military situation in Qichun County in the rear, also changed his face after hearing the report of this old marquis, and secretly said What do these rebels mean, why do they send people to pretend to be soldiers?
