Chapter 321: Wolf Smoke and Tricks (3)

After the end of the meeting, all the soldiers of Han Ce left one after another, and now they are all trying to gain time to rest, and there is destined to be a battle tomorrow.

They rushed to the border at night today, and they had been discovered by the scouts of the Northern Wilderness, coupled with the information that Wei Zhi received yesterday, someone secretly sent the military deployment of Youzhou out of Youzhou, and he began to be vigilant.

Originally, there were still three days before the day he planned to send troops, but because someone leaked secrets, he moved his troops in advance.

This battle was a battle he was determined to win, and he would not allow his painstaking business to be ruined by others.

After dismissing the generals, he left his guards behind and asked, "Where is the kid sent by Wei Zhi to spy on Youzhou now?"

His own soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "General Qiyu, those boys and their team in Bingzhou are on the hill not far away, as if they are preparing to spy on our march there!"

"Hmph, a group of little deflated three, I think I can find any information here, if they can investigate, I will write a military newspaper and report it to the court, a group of fools!"

The soldier then asked, "Do you need to take these guys away or ......?"

The pro-soldiers compared a movement of wiping their necks, today at noon Lingyi They collided with the general, and also defeated the heroic general on their own side, which made the Youzhou military lose face, and now many people are hostile to Lingyi!

Han Ce hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, Wei Zhi is staring at our every move, as long as he is careless, he will be retaliated against, we can't let him grab the pigtails, these people will stay for a few days, and after we achieve victory, we will find a chance to get rid of these few people! At that time, the military merits are in my body, even if I annoy Wei Zhi, I am not afraid!"

"Yes, then let's monitor the movements of this group of people at all times, and if there is any abnormality, report it to the general in time!"

At this moment, a personal soldier outside the camp tent knelt down and reported: "General Qiyu, there is intelligence!"

"Come in!" Han Ce commanded, not knowing what was going on.

When the soldiers entered the tent, they saw that the captain of the guards was also in the tent, so they first looked at the captain of the guards!

The captain of the pro-guard knew this subordinate, and this was his pro-soldier who had been specially sent to keep an eye on Ling Yi's group.

"Why did you come back? have you been discovered?" asked the captain of the guard, frowning!

The soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied: "We were originally staring at this group of soldiers from afar, but just after midnight, we don't know who knocked us unconscious, and we just woke up to find that these people are gone!"

"Is it gone?, did they leave any traces?" asked the captain of the guard.

"We found traces of cavalry in different directions, but we don't know where they went?"

"Rubbish!" Han Ce, who had never spoken, scolded angrily at his own soldiers.

The soldiers were so frightened that they prostrate on the ground, not daring to move, and kept begging for mercy in their mouths: "I beg the general for forgiveness!"

The captain of the personal guard also hurriedly pleaded: "Please also ask the general to calm his anger, and I will arrange for someone to go down to investigate their traces!"

"No need, didn't you say that they are all treasure horses like sweat and blood, they really want to run, you can't catch up, if they come back, it's useless to catch up now, okay, go down, report every half an hour to the situation of the scouts to explore the Northern Wilderness!"

Han Ce waved his hand, sat down in front of the bookcase, and reviewed the documents!

The captain of the personal guard took his men and withdrew from the camp, and the captain said to his subordinates: "Be vigilant in the future, you can't make any more mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The captain continued to instruct: "You will serve outside the general's tent tonight, and the general will handle any orders for me seriously, especially the scout information given by the general, and you must definitely report it on time!"

"Yes!" the soldiers stopped and stood outside Han Ce's tent.

Besides, Ling Yi's side, they marched overnight, and now they have penetrated more than ten miles into the territory of the Northern Wilderness, along the way, for safety, they did not shoot torches, all in the dark, fortunately, their war horses are of good quality, although the speed is not fast, but there is no problem.

In the past ten miles, Ling Yi felt strange that the herdsmen here had evacuated, leaving behind a lot of empty tents.

Youzhou mobilized troops, and the herdsmen on the border of the Northern Wilderness noticed that this was understandable.

The strange thing now is that Ling Yi and the others marched all the way and did not find a single patrol from the Northern Wilderness, not even a scout.

This made Ling Yi very puzzled, since the herdsmen had already seen the situation and evacuated in advance, why there was no emergency in the border defense of the Northern Wilderness.

Even if there are usually cavalry patrols, what's going on? If something goes weird, there must be a demon, and I don't know what kind of trick is brewing in this Northern Wilderness!

Ling Yi looked at the herald beside him and ordered: "Go down to the herald, everyone be careful, pay attention to the surrounding situation, tell Yitun, send more scouts out, and report in time if there is a situation!"

The herald took the order to go, Ling Yi didn't speak again, and kept thinking in his heart, what did he think about this Northern Wilderness, could it be that their border defense had given up resistance?

This is impossible, Beihuang has been in constant dispute with Dongsheng since before the founding of Dongsheng, not to say that he will give up, not to mention that he has not yet been at war, how can he give up resistance.

What Ling Yi is most afraid of is that Beihuang has already known Dongsheng's intentions for a long time, and even today's troops have already known that they are brewing a big conspiracy, but without a little intelligence, Ling Yi can't imagine what kind of conspiracy it will be!

When the sky dawned, Ling Yi and the others had gone deep into the Northern Wilderness for eighty miles, and the grassland here was even more vast, as far as the eye could see.

Ling Yi and the others have been here for half an hour, and they have not found a single clue.

Ling Yi called the scout and asked, "What is the current situation of the Youzhou army?"

The scout replied: "They have already opened, the vanguard cavalry has penetrated twenty miles into the northern wilderness, and the infantry and other troops are behind the cavalry, and the speed is extremely fast!"

"Keep monitoring, don't let them find out!" Ling Yi explained.

The scout is ordered to retreat!

Ling Yi calculated the time, combined with the situation of the Northern Wilderness today, and asked Hao Jun and the others: "What do you say, what is the idea of the Northern Wilderness?"

"Who knows, if you look at the current situation, it is not difficult for the Youzhou army to travel a hundred miles a day?" Hao Jun replied!

Zhang Cheng and the others also nodded, and Zhang Cheng said: "According to this situation, Han Ce's army will be able to kill the city of the extreme east in less than five days!"

Ling Yi held the big cake in his hand and listened to the ruffians talking there, but without a clear speculation, he said: "Now we are like an ant locked in an empty room, there is no danger, but in an empty room, there is no sound, you don't know where the door is, let alone what traps will be in this room?"

"The two armies are fighting, intelligence is the most important, and now our situation is that there are traitors in the East in the Northern Wilderness, and they always control Han Ce's every move, when he leaves, when he sets up camp, and how much strength, it is possible to control it very comprehensively. But we are blind and deaf, we have no information, and we don't know when we will enter the encirclement of the Northern Wilderness!"

After listening to Ling Yi's analysis, everyone also felt that this was the case, and intelligence was too important!

Hao Jun asked Ling Yi, "What do you say we are going to do?" Continue to go deeper, or wait for Han Ce and them to come up?"

Ling Yi didn't answer, but looked at Wutun Changhou Aoxuan: "Tell me about it!"

Hou Aoxuan looked at Ling Yi suspiciously, why did Qu Chang suddenly ask himself these questions, so he had to speak: "Since there is no news, then let's investigate the news ourselves, such a big grassland, it is impossible for it to be cleaned up by the Northern Wilderness?"

"You mean to continue to investigate?" Ling Yi asked.

Hou Aoxuan nodded and said: "We are already blind and deaf, if we don't have to touch it with our hands, how can we know that we can receive information, the Northern Wilderness intends to block the news, there must be a big conspiracy! If it can't be detected, then once it breaks out, it is not something that the Youzhou army can deal with!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, just as Hou Aoxuan said, if the Northern Wilderness did it intentionally, then it would be very terrifying, they were playing with 200,000 people in the palm of their hands!

Ling Yi finally ordered: "After breakfast, continue to go deeper, we will strive to find out the situation in the Northern Wilderness before the two armies meet!"

"Yes!" everyone began to give the order to get ready to go!

Ling Yi called Hou Aoxuan: "You stay!"

"Yes!" Hou Aoxuan continued to stay here with Ling Yi!

Ling Yi turned to Hou Aoxuan and asked, "Have you ever gone to school before?"

Hou Aoxuan replied: "I have been in private school for a few years!"

"Private school?" Ling Yi and Hao Jun are all strange, you know, it is very difficult for ordinary people to go to public schools, let alone private schools, it seems that this Hou Aoxuan has an unknown childhood.

"You were brought back by me from the military recruitment office in Xizhou, right?" Sun Ze had a little impression of this Hou Aoxuan.

"Yes!"

Ling Yi asked, "Are you from the Xizhou checkpoint in Bingzhou?"

Hou Aoxuan shook his head and replied: "My family was demoted to Xizhou, my mother died on the way to the army, my father died under the iron hooves of the Northern Wilderness cavalry, and I was left alone, and when I turned sixteen last year, I was sent to the conscription office by the officers who were conscripted!"

"This conscripted officer is not bad to you, otherwise you will only be able to serve conscription and die for the rest of your life! Send you to the conscription office, at least you will have a chance to turn over!" Sun Ze patted Hou Aoxuan's shoulder, the soldiers who serve in the conscription are different from ordinary soldiers, the conscripted soldiers, if there is no war, they are coolies in the army, and if they have war, they are cannon fodder in the army, and they will not get ahead at all.

"Yes, Uncle Tao has always taken good care of me, and it is also my luck to be able to come to the riffraff!"

"You are very lucky, but you also have a good eye!" Sun Ze quipped, he saw Hou Aoxuan a little sad, and adjusted the atmosphere!

"It's good to have a good eye, it's someone else's own effort, and it has nothing to do with you!" Hao Jun poured cold water on the side!

Hou Aoxuan, who was originally in a bit of a downturn, was amused by the words of the two idols!
