When Ma Yun decided to go down the mountain to spy on it, he was unanimously opposed by everyone, but Ma Yun showed several skills in a row, and everyone reluctantly agreed.

"Look at this soft armor, the sword is hard to hurt!" Ma Yun put on the white soft armor;

"You see, I can change my appearance at any time!" Ma Yunxue learned the method of disguise from the treasure house book, more by changing the position of the muscles on the face, which was easy for him.

"Kung fu doesn't need to be shown, if I want to escape, who can catch up!"

"This is sweat medicine, Brother Tong, you can confirm that it's right!" After speaking, Ma Yun drank it, and nothing happened.

"These few times thieves used poison, you all know, I have nothing to do, and you don't need to delay me to be poisoned. ”

"I'm a kind person and I don't bully the weak, so you don't have to worry about me doing bad things. ”

"I'm also a cautious person, I don't take risks lightly, and I don't act impulsively. ”

"It will take several days for the enemy soldiers to arrive, and this is a good opportunity for spying, and I will definitely return in time after the spying is completed. Ma Yun's words and his actions really make people speechless.

"After I went down the mountain, Brother Tong was in charge of everything in the village! ”

After explaining the matter, in the concerned eyes of Tong Guanshan and Gao Tang, in the eyes of Qin Ming's envy, and in the somewhat strange eyes of Shangguan Feng, Ma Yun went down the mountain in tattered clothes.

The enemy army is still dozens of miles away, and it will take about six or seven days to reach it. Knowing that the enemy is invincible, Ma Yun's side is fully prepared, just waiting for the enemy to attack.

However, in addition to knowing the number of enemies, the details of the enemy are still not clear, and he went down the mountain to spy this time, hoping to get some unexpected information, some information that can change the situation and plan of the battle.

Ma Yun hid in the tree and watched the two civilian-looking people below talking to each other, but in fact, he already knew that they were scouts of the enemy army.

"It's been a few days, and I haven't even seen a figure, and every time I report back, I haven't found it. ”

"You don't want to think about it, when an army of 10,000 comes to exterminate a thief village, if the rat gall of those thieves does not hide in the village, will they run out and wait for death! If I were them, they would have abandoned the village and fled to the mountains!"

"Brother said the same, it's just that the marshal is marching so slowly, the vanguard officer Zhang Bi is impatient!"

"What's the impatience, he still dares to disobey Marshal Liu's military orders. ”

"I think General Zhang's meaning is to catch a few thieves to relieve his boredom! If we can find a few thieves, let General Zhang move!"

"I'm afraid that General Zhang will be disappointed!" After listening to the conversation between the two scouts, Ma Yun immediately had a plan in his heart: a strategy to lure the enemy.

Putting a small group of men and horses as bait to lure the vanguard officer into sending troops, and annihilating a small group of troops will not affect the overall situation, but at least it can boost morale. However, the opponent's large army is still far away, and we will see the situation when it is approaching.

Abandoning the two scouts, Ma Yun continued to move forward, encountering several more scouts along the way, all of which he easily avoided. With his current strength on his feet, the slow army of dozens of miles would have taken six or seven days to walk, and he could easily reach it in only two hours.

When he watched a large group of people wielding big knives and axes in front of him in the forest, widening the path that could not be allowed by several feet, Ma Yun didn't believe in the spies' return before, but now he had to believe it.

"This Liu Shiyu is too stable, so stable and perverted!" "There is such a wide road, even if it is 10,000 people, it can be taken care of both end and end, if the troops are quite sneak attack, it doesn't matter, but if there are dozens of people, I'm afraid that it will be easy to come, and it will be difficult to go back."

In particular, there is a team of men and horses, about 300 people, dressed in red armor, with a silver mask on their faces, holding red spears, sitting neatly on strong war horses, and the war horses are also wearing red armor, and the whole team exudes a murderous aura. Needless to say, this is the Red Flame Army in Tongguan Pass.

"This Red Flame Army really lives up to its reputation, just looking at this momentum, it is far superior to ordinary soldiers, and those equipment are also very sophisticated, I don't know how it compares to my black iron equipment!

But after thinking about it, "It's a pity that you are attacking the cottage, unless the horse can grow wings, what is the use!"

Suddenly, Ma Yun saw a scene that made his eyes light up. Perhaps because of the hard work of cutting down trees and paving roads, a few of those people occasionally rested, and a few people in the Red Flame Army immediately walked out, loudly urging those people to hurry up and work, and the two sides quarreled, although they did not do anything, but they could also see that the group of people who worked had great resentment.

However, looking at the costumes, there is no doubt that they are all soldiers of King Lu, but the color of the clothes of these soldiers is blue-black, is it possible that the color of the clothes is different and the treatment is different?

"Contradictions are everywhere, what Grandpa Marcos said is so right, wait for me to blend into the team at night to see what kind of contradiction they are, if it is a contradiction that can be reconciled, then see if it can become an irreconcilable contradiction!"

Soon a burly man in armor walked over, shouted at the Red Flame Army, and calmed down with the group. Ma Yun glanced at the general and made a note of his appearance.

Avoiding the troops in front of him, Ma Yun cautiously dived towards the troops in the rear in the forest. The army behind was neatly arranged, with swords and shields, spears, longbows, and even a troop armed with a chain hammer. "Uncle, it's really like a war! Isn't this just a war..."

Evading this section of the troops, they continued to dive to the rear. This section of the army is very lively, in addition to more than a dozen tall boulder carts that attract people's attention, the carriage with heavy grain and grass also makes Ma Yun's heart itch. "The food and grass of the 10,000-strong troops, how many years has it been enough to eat in the village!" This section of the army is also the most tightly guarded, in order to prevent sneak attacks, the woods are densely packed with sentry spies, and Ma Yun simply went around to see the situation here in the distance.

The troops at the rear were about the same as the front, the sword and shield team, the spear team, the longbow team, and hundreds of Red Flame troops on horseback.

After looking at the formation of the enemy army and estimating the next time and marching speed, Ma Yun sneaked back to the head of the team and continued to observe the group of working soldiers.

At the same time, in the middle of the procession, in a very wide carriage, sat four people. Among them, sitting in the first place is a middle-aged man, dressed in a yellow shirt, his eyes are blank and his ears are unusually large, and on the lower side of the head sits a man with small eyes and small ears, next to him is a bearded man in red armor, and on the other side sits an obese man.

I only heard the voice of the bearded man and said: "Great marshal, why do you make such a big move, my eight hundred Red Flame Army will be able to wipe out the thief village in less than a day!"

"General Gao doesn't know, the thief is very cunning, hiding in the mountains and forests, like a turtle hiding in its shell, and biting people with its head out of its head violently, it is also very painful.

"Gao Yong, you are still more than brave, but not calm enough!" The big-eared man glanced at the big man, and then said: "It's only a few dozen miles away, and you're not in a hurry, even if you walk like this, it won't take ten days." In this way, it is safe, and there can be no errand in this battle; second, it can also rectify military discipline, and the 5,000 soldiers in Qicheng have refused to obey my orders until now, and they still obey orders with that Xi Jian. Although Xi Jian is a general, the prince is magnanimous, let him continue to be in charge of his soldiers and horses, and I can't do anything about him. After saying that, he glanced at the small-eared man again.

The person with big ears should be Liu Shiyu, and the person with small ears should be Yao Gang. Yao Gang seemed to hear the meaning of Liu Shiyu's words, and hurriedly said: "This expedition is all up to the decision of the commander, and Yao Gang will definitely do his best to assist." ”

"Everywhere, we are all serving the prince, and we should use all our strength!

"Yes, yes!" The fat man really had some means, and he even mixed up with the position of a prison army.

"Xi Jian, I have heard of this person, in the early years he was defeated in the battle for hegemony with Nashi Sun Xian, and was taken in by the lord of Qiqi City when he had no way out, and since then he has been desperate to serve him. The defeat of that year was also due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and this Xi Jian and his subordinate soldiers were an elite soldier. It is said that his subordinates are all homeless people who have been following him all these years, and their combat power is amazing, and outsiders call them 'Beifu soldiers'!" Yao Gang said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, 'Beifu Soldiers', I think they are 'captured soldiers'! If they don't surrender early, they will be able to taste the power of my Red Flame Army!" said the bearded man disdainfully.

"This person can't be killed, firstly, he is a general, and killing him will affect the benevolent reputation of the prince; second, the five thousand soldiers are only obeyed by him, and if they kill him, I am afraid that they will rebel! But since the combat power is amazing, then let them open the road first, and then attack the mountain, and we will see how amazing their combat power is later! When the time comes, I will personally ask the prince for their merits! This person is very loyal to the lord of the city, and this surrender is also because the lord will surrender, he has no choice but to do it, and the prince is not very at ease with him. Liu Shiyu said with a smile, and the rest of the people also laughed.

Seeing that it was already dark, I thought that the laborers would stop and rest, but unexpectedly they lit a fire and continued to open the road.

"Okay, okay, it's better, the contradictions are all irreconcilable, and now the contradictions are accumulating little by little!" The burly man in armor he saw during the day actually took off his armor and joined the labor, which made Ma Yun look at this person differently.

"Here's your chance!" the laborer suddenly let out a mess, drawing the attention of the surrounding guards, and Ma Yun took the opportunity to knock one of the guards unconscious and drag him into the forest.

"The clothes still fit!" After changing into the guard's clothes, he glanced at the guard's face a few more times, and then kneaded his face a few times, and it became a little similar to the guard. Picking up the guard's weapon, Ma Yun walked out of the woods in a big way.

Now the words of the group of people reached his ears clearly.

"Hmph, after working hard for half a day, you actually gave us food that pigs don't eat!"

"It's not that we are surrendering troops, so we are bullying me and waiting!"

"If it weren't for the fact that there were 4,000 of our brothers in the army, I was afraid that the bullying would be even more ruthless, and the other brothers would also be pushing carts to transport grain, which would not be easy!"

"Hmph, if it weren't for General Xi, I would have fought with them a long time ago, and let him know how powerful our 'Beifu soldiers' are!"

"That is, when we're 'Beifu soldiers' galloping across the battlefield with General Xi, these people are only afraid that they are still farming!"

"It's a big deal to go up the mountain for the sake of the coward, who can help us!"

Hearing everyone's discussions, the burly man shouted loudly: "I, Xi Jian, will not leave a single brother, nor will I let the brothers be bullied!"

"It turns out that your name is Xi Jian!" Ma Yun looked at the burly man and smiled.
