Huang Shao went to Bashui, Diao Jun didn't know.

At this moment, he and Cen Pei led his troops on the road that Miao County and Bashui County must pass, and temporarily stationed in the surrounding hidden mountains and forests.

As night fell, the soldiers rested in their tents.

glanced at Cen Pei lying beside him, and felt that he had been acting a little strangely recently.

The two men are now lieutenant generals, and they are the commanders of this reconnaissance army, and they both have their own special tents, so they no longer have to huddle with other soldiers.

When Cen Pei was still a soldier, he slept in a single position and didn't like to be crowded with others.

With his character, it stands to reason that there is a single tent that suits his heart now, so why do he get into his own tent and have to huddle two people together?

But think about it, it's probably because they lived and died together in the war, and they became dependent on each other.

To be honest, Cen Pei slept here, and Huang Shao also felt inexplicably at ease.

It's just that he will soon get close to Miao County, and he doesn't know if he will encounter enemy troops during the reconnaissance process, so he is not sure about what will happen next, and his heart is confused.

I couldn't sleep, so I got out of bed and sat down at the table, and looked down by the candlelight.

Cen Pei turned over, found that Diao Jun was gone, got up and saw him sitting at the table, so he also got out of bed and asked softly, "Why don't you sleep?"

"Can't sleep. ”

"Do you miss your Brother Shao and Xi'er again?" Cen Pei tidied up his clothes.

"I thought about it, but I was mainly worried about the next reconnaissance mission. Diao Jun sighed, "I have to approach Miao County, in case I encounter the enemy army and they find out the whereabouts of our army, I am afraid that it will ......."

Cen Pei smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry! With me here, I will escort you back to Bashui County safely no matter what." Besides, you have an immortal magic weapon, as long as you use it properly, you don't need to be afraid at all. ”

"I don't like to fight, I don't like to watch the people around me die one by one. Diao Jun sighed, "I don't like the feeling of killing others with my own hands." I can't sleep, because if I close my eyes, I will see the enemies that have been slain in front of me......."

"You just aren't used to it," Cen Pei whispered as he walked over to him.

Diao Jun turned his head to look at him: "I don't want to get used to it! I just want to go home alive." ”

"It's all inevitable, either you die or someone else dies on the battlefield. Cen Pei advised, "Don't think so much, you have to protect yourself if you want to go home." Sleep! Tomorrow we will continue to march. ”

"You sleep first, I'll calm down for a while. ”

"Don't overthink it. Cen Pei reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "I will definitely let you return home safely." ”

Seeing the sincerity in Cen Pei's eyes, Diao Jun's heart warmed, and he raised his right hand and patted him on the chest: "Thank you, Brother Pei!"

Cen Pei's body stiffened instantly, and he took a quick step back, his face a little strange. Subconsciously covered his chest with his hands: "No, it's okay...... Then I'll go to sleep first, and you can rest early!"

"Hmm!" Diao Jun didn't pay attention to Cen Pei's expression, lowered his head and continued to think.

Cen Pei looked a little strange, returned to the bed and lay down with his back to Diao Jun, pressed his hands on his chest a few times, and then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, turned his head and secretly glanced at it, and closed his eyes with his back to Diao Jun again.

Diao Jun thought quietly for a long time in the candlelight, and the moon outside the tent turned to the stars.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps, and then someone outside the tent spoke in a hurry: "Vice General Cen, Vice General Diao, there is a situation!"

"What's going on?" Cen Pei had already slept, Diao Jun was still very awake, and immediately walked outside the tent when he heard the voice.

"Report to the general!" a sergeant in charge of patrolling knelt down on one knee in front of him, raised his head and replied respectfully, "My subordinates are reconnoitring on the road ahead, and I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the sound is like thunder, I am afraid that it is the army of Miao County!"

"How far is it?" Diao Jun's face changed instantly.

"About seven miles!"

"Give the order immediately, the lights and fire of the whole army will be extinguished!" Diao Jun hurriedly ordered, "Your whereabouts must not be revealed." ”

"Whew!" the soldier quickly turned to deliver the order.

Diao Jun returned to the tent, went to the bed and stretched out his hand to shake Cen Pei awake: "Quick!

"What's wrong?" Cen Pei fell asleep.

"There is the sound of horses' hooves seven miles ahead, I'm afraid that the army of Miao County will appear!" Diao Jun said anxiously.

"What?!" Cen Pei woke up instantly, hurriedly got up and put on his armor, and said anxiously, "Quickly order the whole army to turn off the lights, and not leave the slightest fire!"

"I've already ordered it, let's go out and have a look!" Diao Jun blew out the candle and walked out of the tent in the dark.

Cen Pei also followed in the dark, and when he came outside, by the moonlight, he found that the fires in all the tents in the garrison camp had been extinguished, and the soldiers had also gathered, quietly and neatly lined up in front of them.

"Let's go!" he took the lead, running straight to the highest area.

Diao Jun immediately took all the soldiers, leaving only the guards on the horses, and followed Cen Pei to move to the highest place around him, all hiding behind the bushes, looking condescendingly at the road in the distance.

In the night, in the distance of the road, countless fires lined up in a long line, moving towards this side at a very fast speed.

It's the direction of Miao County over there, and you don't have to think about it to know that it's the army of Miao County.

"What should I do?" Diao Jun was a little nervous, although he couldn't see clearly from a long distance at night, the dense torches with no end in sight showed that the enemy army was extremely numerous.

Also, if the other party wants to send troops to recapture Bashui County, it will have at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and maybe even 100,000 troops, this is not a joke!

With only a thousand cavalry, it was impossible for the scouts to fight each other, and besides, their mission was not to fight.

"We must report the news of the enemy's dispatch to the general as soon as possible!" Cen Pei turned around without hesitation, "Herald!"

"Yes!" someone came out to receive the order.

"You ride the fastest horse and immediately return to Bashui County to report to the general, just say that the soldiers and horses of Miao County have set out for the battle!"

"Whew!" the herald hurried back to the camp to lead his horse and set off.

"Brother Jun!"

"What?" Diao Jun hurriedly asked.

"We should slow down the enemy's march!" said Cen Pei.

"Delay the enemy's march?" Diao Jun said anxiously, "We only have so many people, how can we delay?"

"Do you know why I'm garrisoning here?" asked Cen Pei.

"I don't know!"

"Look!" Cen Pei pointed around, "this place is lush and easy to cut down. The reason why I chose this place is to take this situation into account. During the day, a large number of trees were ordered to be cut down for the construction of the camp, and many more are placed nearby. There are also many large rocks in the mountains, and the whole army can be ordered to block the roads with trees and stones! Unless the enemy troops climb over the mountains and mountains, they can only clear the obstacles first. The road is narrow and the capacity is limited, at least to be able to delay until dawn!"

"Then what should we do? The enemy found us at dawn, but we can't beat us!" Diao Jun said hurriedly.

"You are stupid!" Cen Pei said with a smile, "Our army will drop the obstacle and immediately retreat, it is strange that they can catch up! When they retreat to a certain distance, and then throw another wave of obstacles to block the road, they can quickly return to the city and return to the general! When the time comes, the general will definitely be ready to meet the battle and block them outside the city of Bashui County." ”
