Huo Yi's scouts dispersed early, unlike other armies of the same period, the role of scouts was tightly limited to probing and observing the enemy's situation, Huo Yi's scouts were selected from various battalions, including Han people, barbarians, and even many Shanyue people. In terms of geography, many of them come from the Northland or Jiangdong.

Scouts had a very heavy task in this era, and Huo Yi once read "Liutao. Jun Bing", said, "The horseman, the scout of the army, so the defeated army, the food road, the attack is also good." "After the cavalry flourished in Qixiong, the scouts became an army and became a professional branch of troops to spy on the enemy.

But Huo Yi's scouts are not just as simple as spying on the enemy. Spying on the enemy's situation However, between the two armies, Huo Yi's scouts are more similar to the agents of later generations, selecting characters from all over the world, teaching literary talents and martial arts, making them able to play a role behind enemy lines that no enemy will suspect, and further spy on the inner reality of the enemy's rear, as well as eradicate potential factors that may pose a threat to their own side. The best of these people is Ye Jiong, who Huo Yi often carries by his side.

At this time, Ye Zhi, because Huo Yan was not there, took on the duties of a guard general. Ye Jiong's mind is extremely delicate, especially his sense of smell of danger, but he is very competent.

Huo Yi's men and horses finally arrived outside Linyuan City after more than ten days, and the army arrived at Wuling, but the ignorant and unknown Wuxi barbarians were still kept in the dark, and no one would have thought that the arrival of the official army was to exterminate themselves.

Dong Yun and the others refused Huo Yi's plan to enter the city, the previous time those desperate assassinations made Dong Yun and his people really frightened, Huo Yi can now be said to be the pillar of Jingnan, if Huo Yi falls, no one knows how to deal with the martial arts of these two counties.

Although Dong Yun and others were ordered by Huo Yi to select a lot of recruits among the new immigrants in Wuling, but the whole county was added together, but 5,000 people, in the north of Wuling, Hanshou area, although there was a large army of Jingzhou headquarters, but in the end it was necessary to send a part of the garrison in Yuannan and Yuanling counties to be prepared.

The southern barbarians often omit the counties, Chenyang, Chongxian, Youyang, Qianling, and Rongcheng counties, and they still need a little county soldiers to garrison and protect the territory and the people.

Yes, the rest of Linyuan City, but there are only more than 1,000 people left, it is not like Quanling, although it is also a place of commerce and trade, but the security of the two cities is completely different. Huo Yi has the heart to move all people, and he must not be careful, staying in the big tent outside the city is indeed much safer than being in the city.

Huo Yi couldn't help but be a little depressed, this meticulous work is rampant, it is indeed outrageous, and when the Nanban is purged, he will take these hidden meticulous works.

Dong Yun, Huo Buyi, and Cen Yun, the three Wuling bigwigs, waited early in front of the camp outside the city that had been arranged by the county soldiers.

Dong Yun is a meticulous person, and the entire camp is also very rigorously arranged, and the grain and grass have already been prepared.

In the big tent, all the generals are neat, and the leading generals of more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers transferred by Wang Chong are Li He who Huo Yi transferred back from the Western Front.

In addition to the two veterans of Wuling, Huo Buyi and Cen Yun, the rest are all young faces. On the left, Huo Buyi, Li He, Gao Jin, Yi Yun, Zhao Tong, Ye Jiong; On the right-hand side, Dong Yun, Cen Yun, Zhao Heng, Lu Yao, Fu Li, Guan Xing. It can be regarded as neatly staffed, but the performance of these young generals on the battlefield has to wait for Huo Yi to see further, after all, no matter how good the training of ordinary soldiers is, it is not easy to talk about it in the battle formation, and often a small mistake will cause a rout.

Huo Yihu glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "Wuxi Barbarian, is the object of our army's attack this time, although our army has the upper hand in the previous battle with the barbarian army, and there is a precedent for 500 cavalry to defeat the enemy, but you should not be careless. This time, our army is here, not to calm the trouble of one clan and one place, but to completely eradicate this elbow and armpit trouble. If you have any plans, you can say it bluntly! ”

"General, the last general thinks that the thief chief is powerful and should be attacked separately." On the right hand, Zhao Heng got up first to answer. "Although the thief army is brave, it can't help but educate, in a frontal battle, under the equal strength of our army and the thief army, the enemy is not the enemy of our army! But Wuxi has a large population, and the last general heard that General Huo Ya said last time that there are more than 100,000 people in the Wuxi clan alone! If it is stubbornly defended, even if our army wins the battle, it will inevitably suffer great losses. ”

"What General Shuyu said is very true, general, Yun is too guarded by Wuling, I often hear that the three clans of Chenxi are dissatisfied with the arrogance of King Wuxi, and they have long been against him, but they dare not take the general's prestige, Yun thinks, we may take this opportunity to divide the Wuxi barbarian tribes, and then divide and annihilate, so that our army can defeat the strong with the weak!" Dong Yun heard Zhao Heng's words and nodded yes.

"The barbarian king of Wuxi, Moyun Leopard, once had kindness and righteousness and a general, if the general has no reason to fight, I am afraid that he will lose people's hearts!" Cen Yun stood up and said calmly.

Huo Yi touched his forehead, but this is also, Huo Mad is the son of the Moyun Leopard, and he will inevitably become the leader of Wuxi Man in the future, if he has no reason to crusade against the Wuxi tribe like this, he is afraid that it will be difficult to explain to Huo Mad in the future.

"What does General Cen think Yi should do to avoid this?" Huo Yi turned his head and looked at Cen Yun.

"This is also the thing that the last general is worried about, and he can't think about it." Cen Yundao.

"General! There will be a plan at the end! Huo Yi looked at it, but it was Lu Yao, who he admired the most among the five generals on the left-hand side.

Huo Yi nodded at Lu Yao and said, "Ziyuan, but it's okay to say it!" ”

After the battle of Youxi, this Moyun leopard got carried away, often pretending to be a general, conscripting and conscripting other tribes, and even usurped the inherent territory and livestock of the Youxi tribe, and collected the people and horses of the Youxi tribe for their own use. It can be seen that he is an insatiable man, and the general can spread the news of the army to fight the barbarians, and then send an order to summon him to come to the land of our army alone. If this person comes, it means that this person is very scheming, and our army will take Wuxi as an alliance to destroy the remaining three tribes; If such a person does not come, it means that his people are greedy and refuse to give up the land they have gained, and our army will unite with the other three tribes to exterminate them on the grounds that they do not follow the call and privately obey the orders to oppress the same clan! Lu Yao slowly put his plans everywhere.

Huo Yi frowned slightly, and finally had a way to try.

"In the end, I think that the details inside still need to be considered!" Everyone looked at it, but it was Yiyun Yi Zhonglong.

"Zhonglong thinks something is wrong." Huo Yi said with a smile.

"General, what General Lu said is a good policy, but there is something to be discussed, if our army reveals the barbarian matter, it will definitely alarm the four clans, if the Moyun Leopard is deep-minded, it will definitely unite the three clans to resist our army going south, so isn't it an empty plan?" Yiyun Road.

"Zhong Long is right, I think that I might as well force this Moyun Leopard to turn against me, and then unite with the other three clans to destroy it, so that these concerns will not exist!" Gao Jin also got up and said.

"Moyun Leopard is the most cunning person among the barbarian kings, this person studied at the Jingzhou Official School when he was young, he is not so easy to fool! This person even knows that the official army is sharp, and it is not the barbarian who can be hostile. I'm afraid it won't be easy to rebel! Dong Yun frowned.

"The words of others, Moyun Leopard may not believe it, but if there is one person who says it, he will definitely believe it!" Resignation.

Huo Yi sighed in his heart, he had come to such a point, he was already so helpless, even a simple-minded man like Huo Mad, who was loyal to him, had to calculate.

After a long time, Huo Yi nodded and said: "You can send me a member of the guards to report to Wuxi, only to say that it is Huo Yan's cronies, and tell Moyun Leopard that my army is going south to crusade against him!" Then he sent a messenger to summon Moyun Leopard to come to Yuanling alone to plead guilty. Spread this order to the other three clans and give it to our army. Let the three clans raise troops to help our army crusade against Wuxi! ”

"General, I thought that Shang Ke could make people pretend to be the envoys of Eastern Wu, and after the envoys of our army went, they would buy the Moyun Leopard with wealth, and they could even be the scout's internal response, and when the army was deadlocked, give the Moyun Leopard a fatal blow!" Ye Zhi also seconded the proposal.

Huo Yi was indeed extremely satisfied with the performance of this cadre general, and with the concerted efforts, a set of almost perfect strategies was released, and then, Huo Yi assigned each army to act according to the plan. He even ordered Shen Tuqiang's order, asking him to lead more than 100 people, pretend to be Jiangdong envoys, and take all the wealth and silk to the land of Wuxi to buy the Moyun Leopard.

When everyone came out of the big tent, the sky was dark, but Huo Yi never thought that under this discussion, unconsciously, it was already in the past. In the camp, the messengers of each branch had already set out and rushed to the place where the four barbarians lived. Ye Zhi personally set out, sat on a horse, pretended to be Huo Yan's cronies, and went straight to Wuxi to report this confidential matter to the barbarian king Moyun Leopard.

Huo Yi looked at the dim sky, the moon was full and bright, and the light was a little dazzling, and the sultry summer day made him tired of the cage-like military tent. Involuntarily, I suddenly remembered that year of Ding Wei, it was also such a sultry season, every night when the army returned home from training, the gentle girl would always prepare Tugong plum fried (sour plum soup), which was really a good product to relieve heat and relieve fever.

Thinking of this, Huo Yi turned his head, only to see the two guards' unchanged iron blue faces, Huo Yi shook his head, and had no choice but to return to the stuffy military tent and barely fall asleep.

But how to sleep, his new army is in battle for the first time, although there are his own guards and a thousand cavalry soldiers transferred to suppress the formation, but it is false to say that he is not nervous, once there is an accident, these efforts, I am afraid that they will be in vain. Huo Yi is a person who strives for perfection in his bones, he got up, couldn't sleep, Suo didn't sleep, wore armor, went out of the tent with a sword, and immediately more than a dozen guards got up to follow, Huo Yi said: "Follow me to inspect the battalions!"
