Su Guangfei pointed out to Li Yao all the bandit cottages along the way, and after Li Yao read it carefully, he promulgated the task, and all the reconnaissance squads should target these cottages to conduct reconnaissance, and also carefully explore the nearby peaks, water flows, and terrain.

Li Yao did not plan to use the scouts of this regiment to capture these cottages along the way, he did not bring heavy weapons, he could not attack the city, and he used these scouts to attack the city, unless Li Yao's brain was pumped out, and his unfamiliarity with the nearby terrain and landforms also made Li Yao understand that these cottages were by no means something he could move now.

In fact, there is another reason that Li Yao has to keep a low profile enough, and last time he had already caused the forces of all countries to pay attention to him because of the matter of millions of peasants, if he continued to publicize it at this time, I am afraid it would only be detrimental to himself.

But Li Yao didn't come to take these scouts to play in the mountains and rivers, since they were brought out, they had to be trained, and reconnaissance of various bandit cottages was the best exercise!

Every two days the assembly came as scheduled, and almost all the reconnaissance squads returned to the assembly site, except for those who were late, some of the reconnaissance squads were attacked by bandits, and only a few people escaped.

Li Yao pulled out the late reconnaissance team, and several large basins were brought out, which contained rats, bugs, maggots, and all kinds of disgusting bugs.

Li Yao said: "The military order is like a mountain, since you are late, you should be punished, these things are your lunch." If you can't finish eating, you're violating military orders! ”

The most common violation of military orders is to hit the board, and the highest is to cut off the head on the spot.

The soldiers who were late all stood in front of the big pot, and they didn't dare to move, looking at a few fat and tender insects in the big plate twisting their bodies, and they couldn't help but want to vomit!

Li Yao said: "Since you want to violate the military order, then don't blame me for not being emotional, come on!" Pull out and fight fifty boards each, and drive out the army! ”

As soon as the blind man heard that Li Yao was so ruthless, he immediately expelled the army when he was late, and immediately stood up and said, "Master Hou, this ......"

Li Yao glared at the blind man: "My words are military orders, carry them out!" ”

As soon as those late soldiers saw that Li Yao was playing seriously, they immediately ran to the basin, grabbed the insects and stuffed them into their mouths, and the blind man looked at these soldiers whose mouths were full of green juice of insects, and they retched and almost vomited!

Li Yao looked at these soldiers with a smile and said, "That's right, these things are a big supplement, eat a few worms, and the energy of the day will be replenished, and I am also thinking about you." ”

Without exception, all the soldiers who ate insects vomited, to be honest, looking at what those soldiers spit out, Li Yao couldn't help but want to vomit, but he was the implementer of this decision, and he must hold up the scene!

Those soldiers who were not late, watching them eat insects, shivered all over their bodies, they saved their lunch today, and it is estimated that they are not in the mood to eat.

And those thieves were shocked, is this Hou Ye a pervert, he actually invented such a disgusting trick.

Looking at the end of those punishments, Li Yao said: "In the future, our punishment will be nothing more than eating insects, confinement, and practicing physical fitness, you will encounter them one by one in the future!" ”

The blind man sorted out the situation of each reconnaissance squad, and the ten squads with the worst reconnaissance effect were all physically trained, and they were armed for off-road! An hour must be completed, and if it cannot be completed, it will continue until it is completed! Ten more classes with the best investigation effect will be selected, and the whole group will be praised!

After an hour of hard work by the blind man, he finally got the result, the worst class ran away, and the best class accepted Li Yao's praise under the gaze of the whole group, and there was a big bowl of meat to eat at noon! I'm really envious of other reconnaissance squads that didn't get rankings.

Li Yao will do it once every two days, such a gathering, every time there is a late reconnaissance squad that eats bugs, the squad with the worst reconnaissance effect runs, and the squad with the best reconnaissance effect can eat meat when praised!

After the second gathering, Li Yao said: "Two days later is the last gathering on our journey, I don't ask for time, I don't ask for a target, you can go to investigate anything, but this time the ten classes with the most reconnaissance value can each get a reward of one or two silver, and the ten classes with the least reconnaissance value will eat insects!" You're ready to go! ”

The blind man said: "Big brother, there is no target for reconnaissance, isn't it too permissive for these soldiers!" ”

Li Yao shook his head: "As a scout, you should know what is most beneficial to your side, what is the most important thing to investigate, this test is the time for you to pick the top, scouts who can take the initiative to discover valuable intelligence have training value, I don't have extra money to spend on worthless scouts!" ”

"Yes, big brother, I understand!" The blind man nodded in response.

Two days passed quickly, and the blind man found a lot of valuable information when sorting out the intelligence of the various reconnaissance squads, such as the nearest granary, water source, barracks, the number of soldiers in the barracks, weapons and equipment, etc.

There are good and bad, the ten best reconnaissance squads and the ten worst scouting squads were selected, Li Yao began to reward and punish, the ten best scouting squads, the squad leader rewarded two taels of silver, the deputy squad leader one or two halves, and the non-commissioned officers one or two. The 10 worst scouts began a rat-eating contest, with each person having to eat two rats, and each rat had to eat half of the meat.

Eating insects, some reconnaissance squads are not the first time, they skillfully take out steel knives at any time, peel off the skin of the mouse, scrape off the meat on the legs and start eating, while the uneaten scout squad has a dying expression, holds their breath, and swallows the cut rat meat in one gulp.

Thankfully, although each reconnaissance squad only brought three days of dry food, the six days of reconnaissance did not leave them hungry.

The blind man said, "Big brother, it is spring, and there are eggs in each nest, and they only need to climb up the tree and dig out a few nests, and they will have a day's food today, so although they have only brought three days' food, they will not be hungry at all!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "Digging out the bird's nest is also a way to replenish energy." Since they can think of it, the proof can still be cultivated a little. You're going to have to take this scout team well, and you're going to have to make a big difference in the future!" ”

The blind man arched his hand and said, "Big brother, don't worry." I'm sure to make these soldiers the best scouts they can be! ”

"Okay, all the reconnaissance squads, the punishment that should be punished, the reward that should be rewarded, our next target is Mazhou Pass, can you find out the information about Mazhou Pass from the intelligence?"

The blind man nodded: "After the investigation of these reconnaissance squads, we learned that Mazhou Pass is a border pass with a population of more than 100,000 people, most of whom are military households, and there is more trade here, so the floating population is also relatively large. Mazhou Pass garrison 50,000! It's led by the second prince! It's just that we found out from the intelligence of the reconnaissance squad that the second prince doesn't seem to be in Mazhou Pass now. ”

"Not in Massachusetts?" Li Yao was surprised: "The second brother commanded the army in Mazhou Pass after the weak crown, and he never returned even for the New Year, he is not in Mazhou Pass, where will it be?" ”

The blind man said, "Could it be because you don't want to see your eldest brother, so you left?" ”

Li Yao shook his head: "Impossible, our three brothers grew up together, and the second brother definitely won't leave because he doesn't want to see me." Something must be going on! Blind man, you scatter all the ten best scouting squads and find out what the hell is going on! ”

Let's rush to Mazhou Pass now and see what the situation is.
