Chapter 617: The Best Scout
Around the end of the hour, Jiang Kang replied to Xie Yunxiao's words. He, Jiang Fu and eight others, were willing to return to the army again.
The rest of the brothers, unwilling to go to the army, stayed in the village as agreed.
After arranging everything, Xie Yunxiao and the others immediately set off and continued to go north.
At the border between the Daning Empire and the Divine Fire Department, the 200,000 troops led by Xie Yunxiao and General Meng Tian were stationed on a flat land.
Xie Yunxiao understands astronomy and geography, and roughly estimates that in the near future, the ice and snow will not melt.
How long he will be stationed, Xie Yunxiao is not sure for the time being, because when he was camping, Xie Yunxiao chose to be on a wide flat land out of various considerations.
The snow and ice are nearly two feet long, and it takes some effort to set up camp.
For a while, the soldiers were very busy.
At this time, Meng Tian came forward, "Sir, the New Year is going to be celebrated tomorrow, do you think you want to make a special New Year's dinner for the soldiers?" ”
"Although the march is out, what should be there must be naturally had, but no matter what, do not take it lightly, lest you be exploited by the enemy!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Montian chuckled, "It's natural! ”
Xie Yunxiao's army of 200,000 was divided into three parts, one part was Mengtian's Xuanjia Guard, and the other part was Yan Duohan's Fengling Guard.
In addition, there was an army of 120,000 people who had gathered at the call, and they each formed a camp at this time.
Xie Yunxiao's handsome camp is in the center of the three armies.
Along the way, Meng Tian followed Xie Yunxiao's actions, and it was Yan Duohan who greeted the 200,000 troops behind.
After coming here, Yan Duohan was busy directing his soldiers to set up camp.
In the evening, there was time to pass over Xie Yunxiao's side.
"Sir, do you want to take advantage of the New Year's time to surprise the Divine Fire Department?" Yan Duohan's eyes were filled with indescribable excitement, and his words were full of anticipation.
When Xie Yunxiao heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "There's no need for this for the time being!" ”
This war started because the Shenhuo Department slaughtered the people of the Daning Empire.
But after experiencing the incident in Ghost Fog Mountain, Xie Yunxiao felt that there might be some unknown things in it.
Before these things were clarified, Xie Yunxiao would not send troops easily.
Of course, the situation is not something that Xie Yunxiao can control, if the Shenhuo Department sends troops, it can only face the battle.
War is what Xie Yunxiao does not want to see.
But if it is inevitable, Xie Yunxiao will naturally not be soft.
Feng Lingwei is the first cavalry of the Daning Empire, and the cavalry of the northern nomadic tribes is also famous.
Being able to go to the border this time, Yan Duohan naturally hoped that he could be eager to try.
Hearing Xie Yunxiao's words, Yan Duohan had a look of regret in his eyes.
But he was still looking forward to it in his heart, as long as the war started, Feng Lingwei would definitely rush to the front.
Xie Yunxiao knew Yan Duohan's thoughts, stepped forward and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
It was only around the time that the army had completed its encampment.
In order to ensure that the camp tent would not be affected by the melting of the ice and snow, Xie Yunxiao asked the soldiers to dig up the ice and snow one by one and build the camp tent on solid soil.
It is precisely because of this that I have been busy for a long time, and I have only now made everything right.
Xie Yunxiao walked out of the camp tent and looked north.
Less than five or six miles away from here is the territory of the Divine Fire Department.
Xie Yunxiao doesn't know what the outcome will be after this battle, but it is certain that once a war happens, there is no absolute winner.
At that time, even if the Daning Empire wins, the manpower and material resources consumed will be a large number.
Although this will not shake the country's foundation, it will definitely affect the development speed of the Daning Empire.
Thinking of these messes, Xie Yunxiao couldn't help but shake his head.
The night passed, and the next day arose, and the firehead army had begun to make a fire and cook.
Smoke curled over the barracks.
Although the temperature did not warm up today, the ice and snow did not thicken either.
If it weren't for the march, today would be the New Year.
After breakfast, the soldiers began to prepare the New Year's dinner.
Because it is in the army, it is impossible to get the New Year's dinner in the evening.
Time is pressing, and the Huotou Army brothers are naturally the most lively place in the overall situation.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Xie Yunxiao gathered Yan Duohan, Meng Tian, Meng Qing and others together and began to discuss important matters.
Today, Yan Duohan and their generals noticed that there was an extra stranger in the camp.
This person is someone else, it is Jiang Kang from Jiangjia Village.
The reason why Xie Yunxiao wanted Jiang Kang to return to the army again was because Xie Yunxiao could see that Jiang Kang had fought with the northern nomadic tribes and had a certain understanding of the nomadic tribes.
In this way, people like Jiang Kang must have a wealth of experience in dealing with the nomadic tribes in the north.
Xie Yunxiao was not mistaken, at this time, Jiang Kang talked eloquently, and many generals listened to it and were very convinced.
After many generals left, Jiang Kang was still in the camp.
Xie Yunxiao glanced at him, knowing that he still had something to say.
"Sir, today is the New Year for us, but the Divine Fire Department does not have such a statement, and the subordinates feel that knowing themselves and knowing their opponents and not being defeated in a hundred battles must go deep into the Divine Fire Department to find out the news!" Jiang Kang said.
Although Xie Yunxiao had no plans to send troops in his heart, he was really thinking that it was better to take precautions than not to be prepared.
"Who do you think is the best one to send?" Xie Yunxiao said.
Jiang Kang said without thinking: "The subordinates and others used to be scouts in the army, and a few of the subordinates are willing to go!" ”
Along the way, Xie Yunxiao was in the Fire Wood Divine Fire Department, as well as the Blood Moon Sect, etc., but he didn't say anything to Jiang Kang and them, and his understanding of Jiang Kang and others was still in Jiangjia Village.
Hearing Jiang Kang's words, Xie Yunxiao's eyes showed a little more surprise.
"Seeing that you are so confident, you must be very capable of finding out the news, okay, this important task will be handed over to you!" Xie Yunxiao said.
"The last general commands!" Jiang Kang pushed out the camp tent and led Jiang Fu and a few people to go.
Xie Yunxiao's thoughts were running fast at this time, but he thought of Qin Zheng who was far away in Xianyang.
I don't know what Qin Zheng is busy with at this time.
There was nothing to do left and right, so Xie Yunxiao came out of the tent and walked outside.
This time, at night, Xie Yunxiao was still outside the barracks.
The wind suddenly rose, the snow fell, Xie Yunxiao looked in the direction of Xianyang, and a gentle voice suddenly sounded, "The snow on Chinese New Year's Eve, the next year since the landing, Zheng'er, we have gone through another year!" ”
Feng Xue seemed to be able to understand Xie Yunxiao's words, and he was much slower and gentler at the moment.
Xie Yunxiao stepped out, leaving a long trail of footprints on the snow.
When they returned to the barracks, Jiang Kang and the others had already returned.
There was a look of surprise in Xie Yunxiao's eyes, Jiang Kang and they only went out after missing the New Year's dinner, and it had only been a few hours, and they had already returned, either they had a good harvest or nothing at all.
In this way, Xie Yunxiao had a little more expectations in his heart.
When Jiang Kang saw Xie Yunxiao, he hurriedly saluted, and then told the news he had found out one by one.
The leader of the Shenhuo Department, when he heard that the army of the Daning Empire had arrived at the border, had already asked Bo Ling to gather a large army to meet the enemy, and at the same time, they heard that today was the day of the New Year of the Daning Empire, and they planned to sneak attack.
This news is so important.
Xie Yunxiao didn't know how Jiang Kang found out, but he was able to find out such news in a short period of time, which shows that Jiang Kang is really not an ordinary person in terms of finding out the news.
"Very good, I didn't expect to get such a critical and important news so quickly!" Xie Yunxiao said with a smile.
Jiang Fu was also in the camp at this time, and when he heard Xie Yunxiao's words, his eyes suddenly showed arrogance, "A few of our brothers used to be the best scouts in the army, and my eldest brother is the best among many brothers!" ”
"The best scout!" Xie Yunxiao was very happy, he just thought that Jiang Kang should have a good performance in the army, but who would have thought that for him, Jiang Kang's return to the army would be a treasure.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles, and the most important thing in marching and fighting is intelligence.
Scouts are naturally especially important for marching armies.
"Mr. smiled, the subordinate brothers' words are a bit exaggerated, but the subordinates and others are indeed experienced in finding out the news!" Jiang Kang said with a smile.
When Xie Yunxiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "If you have the ability, you don't have to hide it, we need talents like you in our army!" ”
When Jiang Kang and Jiang Fu heard this, they both smiled.
In Jiangjia Village, Jiang Kang already understood what kind of person Xie Yunxiao was.
If Xie Yunxiao is a petty person and is jealous of talents, then he Jiang Kang will definitely not choose to return to the army.
Of course, if Xie Yunxiao was like that, how could he ask Jiang Kang and the others to return to the army?
Glancing at Jiang Kang and Jiang Fu, Xie Yunxiao said, "You used to be under Li Mu's command, right?" ”
"We don't belong to Li Jiajun!" Jiang Kang sighed.
Xie Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, Jiang Kang is not qualified to join the Li family's army? Li Mu's Li Jiajun doesn't seem to be very clever.
"We haven't even seen the general!" Jiang Kang added.
Before Xie Yunxiao could speak, Jiang Fu preemptively said: "When the general was fighting the Divine Fire Department, we used to work in the army!" ”
Xie Yunxiao suddenly realized, it seemed that in an instant, Xie Yunxiao had already understood why Jiang Kang and the others would leave the army.
It's just that there are villains in the army who block their way.
They were supposed to be eagles soaring in the sky, but they were trapped in dead wood, and they couldn't even see Li Mu.
In this way, although I was unwilling in my heart, I still chose to leave.
Xie Yunxiao suddenly felt that he still had some luck.
This is the first time to fight against the Divine Fire Department.
But at present, there are Jiang Kang and Jiang Fu brothers in the army, and there will be a lot of useful information that can be obtained.
After all, they had followed Li Mu and defeated Bo Ling and defeated the Divine Fire Department.
"What do you need, just say, as long as I can give it, I will naturally give it, and in the next battle with the Divine Fire Department, you are the key to my victory!" Xie Yunxiao said.
When Jiang Kang and Jiang Fu heard this, they were both a little excited.
At this moment, thanks to their lives, it has been given to Xie Yunxiao.
Jiang Kang and the others not only found out that the Shenhuo Department would sneak attack the Ning army's military camp tonight, but even their marching route had already been figured out.
That night, Xie Yun and Xu Xuan asked Yan Duohan to lead 10,000 soldiers to ambush the Shenhuo Army's army.
Xie Yunxiao and Meng Tian were on a hill five or six miles away from this road at this time.
