On the official road, flags are flying, and dust covers the sun. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Huan Chang was in white robe and white armor, with two hundred cavalry as the vanguard, and the knights were heavily armored and majestic.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a knight rushed towards him, shouting loudly from a long distance.

"Slow down!"

Huan Chang hung the Zhanlu sword in his waist, but he held an iron spear in his hand, the spear was dark all over, exuding a cold light, and he knew at a glance that it was not ordinary.

"Stomp, stomp!"

The knight came quickly, and with a difficult maneuver from a short distance, he turned the horse's head.

"Phew!"

The horses paused, and sat by the official road and snorted.

"Have you ever detected the enemy?"

Huan Chang stepped forward and asked softly beside the knight, with an eager look in his eyes.

The army of Lu had already entered the territory of Xiangdu, but they did not see a single soldier of Pingyang City, which couldn't help but make Xiao Qi suspicious.

This is also why, he sent Huan Chang to lead two hundred elite horsemen as a pathfinder.

"Report to the general, the brothers have been reconnoitring until the city of Xiangdu, only to find that there are enemy soldiers attacking the city, and no enemy ambush was found along the way. ”

The jurisdiction of the city is very large.

Even if the Lu army has entered the territory of Xiangdu, it still has to travel for three days to reach the city.

Lu sent 50,000 troops to aid Xiangdu, and it was impossible for Kong Wenzhao not to get the news.

Xiao Qi originally thought that Kong Wenzhao would send troops to set up ambushes in dangerous places, so that he would be cautious in his march and repeatedly explore every dangerous road section.

It's just that the army marched all the way and didn't encounter a single soldier of Pingyang City.

"Have you ever scouted all the steep sections?"

The knight replied with great certainty: "The Lord Commander is also very cautious, and every time we go, we will probe again and again. ”

"If there is an enemy ambush, there is absolutely nothing to hide. ”

This knight is one of the vanguard scouts.

The commander in his mouth is the elite scout commander sent out by Huan Chang.

"Then Kong Wenzhao is not a mediocre talent, how can he no longer set up ambushes along the way? Could it be that there has been a change in the war in Xiangdu?"

Huan Chang was puzzled, and continued to march towards the front with two hundred cavalry.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Two hundred actually traveled quickly, and after walking for half a day, they came to an open position.

Huan Chang motioned to the black donkey to slow down, and asked the scout commander beside him, "Is there any reconnaissance in this place?"

The scout leader was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although the ground here is not very smooth, the field of vision is extremely wide, and there will definitely be no ambushes. ”

"Hundreds of miles along the way, our scouts are limited after all, and they are generally only scouting those more precipitous areas. ”

"If you have to reconnoiter a place like this, I'm afraid that all the soldiers under the general will be sent out, and there will be no shortage of manpower at all. ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the black donkey under Huan Chang's seat, and a sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

For Huan Chang, many generals in the army are not convinced.

In their opinion, Huan Chang is too young, and it is because of nepotism that he can become a partial general.

The officers and men in the army have always paid attention to their military exploits, and they will not have a good impression of this airborne general at all.

However, the military order is like a mountain, and they are now Huan Chang's subordinates, although they are not convinced, they will not disobey Huan Chang's order.

Huan Chang didn't care, the attitude of the Scout Commander.

He bowed slightly, feeling that the man was right, so he didn't say anything more.

Huan Chang gently stroked the black donkey's neck, and the black donkey understood, and his speed increased again.

Now it is spring, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless amount of green everywhere, and it is always refreshing to see Huan.

"This place, although not a good place for ambushes, is a good battlefield, and it is not a problem to accommodate 100,000 people. ”

This meadow stretches for dozens of miles, and you can't see the edge at a glance, so it is definitely a good battlefield.

"Well, there's a river there, and it's a good place to set up camp. ”

Huan Chang calculated the walking speed of the army, and suddenly found that the army led by Xiao Qi had just arrived here tonight.

"In that case, let's set up camp here. ”

Huan Chang called someone and said to him: "The army will set up camp here tonight, you go to find a good location first, and plan the camp." ”

"When the army arrives, it saves a lot of time. ”

Setting up camp is not a trivial matter, not only to send people in advance to find a suitable location for camping, but also to plan well in advance.

Otherwise, a lot of time will be lost.

The man took the order and left, and Huan Chang called the scout commander again and said to him, "You lead fifty scouts, and you must carefully explore the position within a radius of twenty miles. ”

When the Scout Commander heard this, his face changed slightly.

It would not be difficult to ask the scout to explore twenty miles in a straight line.

However, if you have to explore within a radius of twenty miles, you will definitely leave fifty scouts exhausted.

"General, the terrain here is open, as long as you send soldiers with good eyesight, you can see if there is any trace of the enemy if you stand on a high place and look. ”

"If you send someone to investigate it, you will waste a lot of time. ”

Huan Chang shook his head and said: "The army will set up camp here tonight, if you don't find out clearly, what if you are ambushed by the enemy?"

"Quickly lead people to investigate, don't waste time!"

The anger in the eyes of the scout commander flashed, but he did not dare to disobey the general Huan Chang, so he had to lead the troops to disperse and investigate.

Of course, whether this person will investigate carefully, Huan Chang will not know.

"Pass my military order, brothers rest here and wait for the arrival of the army. ”

When the knights heard this, they let out a burst of cheers, and then they turned back and dismounted their horses and began to graze their horses in the meadow.

"When you rest, you should also be vigilant and don't spread out too much. ”

A few more military orders were issued, and Huan Chang took a few knights to the side of the river, and the donkey went up the river to investigate.

Everyone walked forward unhurriedly for half an hour, and suddenly a neighing sound came from the mouth of the black donkey.

Huan Chang's eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked up into the distance, and his eyes were all emerald green, but the endless grassland was empty.

"When the war broke out, the people migrated away, and it was a pity that such a good pasture was idle!"

Huan Chang sighed for a while, and suddenly ordered to return the same way.

The spring breeze is gentle, the river is murmuring, this is a calm and beautiful picture.

That night, the army of Lu State set up camp here, and the camp of 50,000 people stretched for more than ten miles, which was extremely spectacular.

Xiao Qi was extremely cautious in the use of troops, and every time he set up camp, he would send many soldiers to patrol at night.

Tonight is no exception.

The soldiers, holding torches, walked back and forth around the camp, looking around with a little vigilance.

But in the second half of the night, the soldiers were all relaxed, and some of them were already tired, yawning and walking around at will.

There are also some people who even lean against the fence and take a nap.

These soldiers did not notice that there were many dark shadows in the distance, and although there were many of them, their movements were very light.
