An army with scouts to scout and explore the way on the march is no better than an individual wandering the rivers and lakes, and can draw a knife and cut when encountering an enemy.

Lou Minxiao was favored and cultivated by the Oriental Pearl, while Pang Yi was promoted by the Prince of Xizhen, neither of them was mediocre, and the two armies chose a place to camp, and at the same time sent more scouts to judge the actual number of each other's soldiers according to various methods such as cooking smoke, camp tents and flags in the enemy camp.

"In this way, with the addition of baggage soldiers, etc., the enemy army has at least 130,000 people......" Lou Minxiao synthesized the news from the scouts and judged a rough number, after all, such a military secret that was strictly guarded by all the generals was difficult to be too specific and accurate.

It's just that the information that the Hou led the scouts to investigate made the general, who was leading the army alone for the first time, frown slightly: "It shouldn't be...... After Pang Yi's army crossed Li Mountain, they burned, killed, looted, and captured many people......"

Being forcibly enslaved by the enemy, it is natural that women are forced to do all kinds of physical rough work, and men are forced to be good men to meet the needs of soldiers along the way.

Even if you don't treat the prisoners as human beings, you have to give them food and a place to sleep, otherwise they will starve to death and freeze to death, and there will be a lot less free labor and no soldiers to comfort the soldiers' bodies. After thinking about it, she shook her head slightly: "No, we have to re-explore ......"

It's just that who to send to investigate has become a problem in front of her.

Lou Jun is not as good as His Royal Highness's army, even if there are people who practice Buddhism and Taoism in Weiguo Temple and Zizhu Mountain, it will not be her turn, after all, there are very few people who can successfully cultivate, and it is very remarkable that a temple can produce one. Moreover, I heard that the Buddha aunts who cultivated her heart were all from the Academy of Literature, not the Academy of Martial Arts, and at most she had a little self-preservation ability, so she didn't have the luxury of having strong martial arts, and her practical value in the march was not great.

Since the news brought back by the scout this time is not accepted...... Lou Minxiao stretched out her hand and opened the mouth of the eight-character tiger, and pressed on the temples on both sides: "Do you still let them explore?" She sighed softly, "It seems that there is really no one to use except them......"

Scouts are no better than ordinary soldiers, they are all time-consuming and laborious training in the army, and there are bright marquis and dark marquis.

Ming Hou mainly did things such as exploring the road during the march and exploring the surrounding environment before camping;

The Dark Marquis, on the other hand, is an "unseeable" secret existence, such as risking death to investigate the enemy army and send back intelligence, which is their task, if she does not have the opportunity to lead the army alone, she will never be able to contact them.

Just when she was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "General Yu, there is a Buddha girl named Awakening who asks to see her, claiming to be from Weiguo Temple, and there are eight of them. ”

Weiguoji Temple? Lou Minxiao was overjoyed and immediately went out.

At the gate of the camp, the awakening who was standing with a Zen staff in his hand saw that the leading general had come over in person, and hurriedly saluted with one palm: "Amitabha!" Poor nuns awaken and see the general! ”

Although Lou Minxiao does not believe in Buddhism, she can't be rude, and she clasped her palms eleven times politely: "Awakening Master!" ”

"Don't dare to be a master!" Awakening turned sideways slightly, "These are the seven senior sisters of the poor nuns, enlightening the heavens, enlightening the earth, enlightening the way, enlightening feelings, enlightening, awakening, and awakening." ”

The seven people behind him listened to her introduce themselves, but did not speak, but put their palms together and leaned over slightly to perform a Buddha salute.

It turned out to be the Eight King Kongs of Weiguo Temple? Lou Minxiao, who was overjoyed, hurriedly replied one by one: "I don't know if all the gods and nuns are coming, I will miss the welcome!" ”

"You're welcome, General! We have come from afar in the hope of doing our best for the country and the people, and if you are disturbed, please Haihan," the other seven were not good at words, and the awakening who often walked out of the temple became the representative of the eight speakers, "If it is useful, the general will give orders." ”

"Thank you to the eight gods and nuns for coming to help, it's too late to welcome Minxiao, so why bother!" Lou Minxiao hurriedly said politely, "Don't you dare, let's discuss it together!" Shenni, please follow me into the camp and enter the tent! ”

A group of nine people walked to the main general's tent in the middle, and Lou Minxiao said as he walked: "All the gods and nuns came at the right time, Minxiao happened to have a ...... thing."

Behind him, the soldiers guarding the camp gate were also a little excited, no one thought that the Weiguo Temple would send the Eight King Kongs to the army, they were the first time they had seen them, after all, the Eight King Kongs never left the temple, let alone appeared in front of the world together.

Eight shiny skulls with ring scars entered the big tent one after another, and after Lou Minxiao personally poured water and tea for them, she sat down and talked about what she was worried about.

When he woke up, he looked at the other seven people, and finally settled on the eldest Buddha aunt~~ Wutian who was dressed in a gray nun robe.

Wutian pondered for a moment and said: "Although the little junior sister has the art of retreating, she will not be invisible, once she is discovered, she will be trapped in the military formation, and it will be difficult to get out." ”

Lou Minxiao nodded in understanding.

It is indeed extremely dangerous to go to the enemy camp alone, and once entangled, the opponent has enough time to form a formation. The military formation against one person is simple and easy to form, and it does not take much time, but once the military formation is formed and the martial arts of the Awakened Buddha Aunt are suppressed, it will be even more difficult to leave and return safely.

"It's Minxiao who is abrupt," Lou Minxiao said apologetically, "In a hurry, I don't think about it well, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

She is not called a "general", and she is so polite and humble, naturally people can't blame, but she has a good impression and understands the difficulty of being a general. Wutian thought for a while and said, "This is the kind of thing that detects enemy military planes...... If there are people from the Star Moon Pavilion to help, it will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Xingyue Pavilion?" Lou Minxiao, who has been working in the army, doesn't know much about the Jianghu sect, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be a little dazed, "Are they...... Min Xiao was ashamed, and asked Master Wutian to solve his doubts. ”

"Xingyue Pavilion, although their fame is not as good as the five major sword sects, they should not be underestimated, especially since they have a kind of exercise that is unknown to the world," Wu Tian saw her expression, and knew that this was a general who only knew the army and did not know the rivers and lakes, so he patiently explained, "That exercise is called the Xingyue Shadowless Technique, which is performed on cloudy days and nights, and it is difficult to be discovered, and its stealth skills are first-class." ”

"There is such a good exercise...... Lou Minxiao whispered, "If all the army scouts learned this skill......

When the Eight King Kongs with extraordinary ears heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little funny, and woke up: "General Lou, the secret of the sect is easy not to be passed on, even if it is the emperor, he can't force people to hand over the exclusive exercises that he relies on to establish the world. ”

"Minxiao understands, it's just ......" she shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity...... It's a pity ......."

The Eight King Kongs were silent, and they also knew that they only relied on the earth escape technique to explore the enemy camp, which was too risky, in case the place where they drilled out was the crowd~~ Although the ground movement can be heard in the soil, this possibility is relatively small, but it is difficult to guarantee that she will not run to the wrong place, after all, she can only hear, not see, and the Lord will usually be the quietest, if you drill out of the handsome case or stand in the middle of the handsome tent......

Thinking of these possibilities, she didn't dare to brag and take over this task coaxing, in case she fell into the enemy camp, not only could she not help, but she would have to involve seven senior sisters to rescue, good things turned into bad things, but it was not beautiful.

There was silence in the big tent for a while, and it wasn't until Lou Minxiao came back to his senses that he hurriedly said: "Masters have worked hard all the way, please rest in the tent first!" ”

"If we can," Awakening said, "we want to keep the two of us in the general's tent in turn, so that we can be at our disposal at any time." ”

"Actually, you want to protect me, right?" When Lou Minxiao heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said very appreciatively, "Then thank you masters!" ”

Seeing that she did not refuse, and there was no resentment in her voice, Awakening and the others suddenly felt relieved, after all, the first thing they were asked for help when they first arrived here did not help, and they were somewhat apologetic.

Wutian and the other six people withdrew from the main tent, and the awakening and enlightenment remained. Lou Minxiao sent someone to invite the three generals on the left, center, and right, and was about to start a discussion, when another report came from outside the tent, and handed in a note that had been confirmed to be non-toxic, saying that a mouse that had jumped out of nowhere was dragged by his tail, and that the mouse was like a spirit, not only was not afraid of people, but also stood up its hind legs, and used its two front paws to make a gesture, signaling them to untie the small bamboo tube containing the letter.

Lou Minxiao took it in surprise, and at a glance, she couldn't help but show joy again, only to see that the note read: Xingyue Pavilion was entrusted to come and do its best.

A very simple sentence, but it made her smile, looked at the awakening and said, "Did the masters bring the blessings of your temple with you?" ”

After that, he handed the note into the hands of the awakening without hesitation. When I woke up, I also showed a look of surprise, but ~~

She looked at the note and was a little puzzled: "Entrusted by someone?" By whom? ”

Lou Minxiao shook her head: "It is not written on it, it must be a patriot who is secretly helping." ”

She looked at the three generals: "Although both sides are tired, they still have to guard against night attacks." Before the accurate news comes, we can negotiate a corresponding strategy for two possibilities......"
