When several scouts saw that it was Zhang He who met them, they were a little confused for a moment. Where was Zhao Yun?
Why was it replaced by Zhang He?
"Okay, no need to wonder. General Zilong has something to do and left with his troops first. Now that you are returning from Fuchuan, has Lu Bu sent troops?"
Zhang He glanced at the somewhat stunned scouts and spoke directly to them.
"General, you are wise. Just as you said, Lu Bu led an army of 70,000 people out of Fuchuan and is heading towards the camp road to kill."
After hearing Zhang He's words, several scouts looked at each other and directly clasped their fists at him.
"With an army of 70,000, they knew that I had an army of 30,000 in Yingdao City, but they dared to attack the city with 70,000 troops. They really thought that our Jizhou army had no one, and that I, Zhang He, was a waste."
Looking at the scouts, Lu Bu knew that he had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he would have to bring at least 90,000 soldiers and horses to attack. He didn't expect that a mere 70,000 troops would dare to come. I don't know if Lu Bu was too confident or too confident.
?
"It is true that there are only 70,000 troops. We have found out clearly."
The scout clasped his fists at Zhang He again, but the news he had found out was absolutely true. Lu Bu really only had 70,000 troops.
"Well, I didn't say that you didn't know clearly how many soldiers and horses there are in Fuchuan now, and whether the 70,000-strong army has come over."
Zhang He shook his head. He didn't mean not to believe the scout, but he just lamented that Lu Bu, this old boy, was a little too contemptuous.
"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, but according to rumors in Fuchuan, their support should arrive in the next two or three days. The reason why Lu Bu only brought an army of 70,000 troops, I suspect, is that he did not believe in the combat power of Shi Xie's troops.
The second reason is that the soldiers do not agree to come out in full force, and the third reason is that there is still some distrust between them. If the whole army comes to kill, it may not be as good as Lu Bu's own troops coming over on their own."
Most of the people who can be scouts are thoughtful people, and they also know how to adapt to changes. The scout thought for a while and replied directly to Zhang He's words.
"There is a conflict, right? This is what it should be. After all, they were in a hostile relationship some time ago. How is it possible for them to cooperate rashly without any gaps?"
Zhang He nodded to the scout, agreeing with his opinion.
"General, if nothing happens, I will return to Bucheon immediately."
After listening to Zhang He's words, the scout realized that his duty had been completed and it was time to return to Fuchuan.
"You can't go back for the time being. Lu Bu has deployed scouts outside. You can come here only because they have a mission and don't want to alert others. If you go back now, you will probably fall into their trap.
In this case, you immediately set off for Lingdao, where General Zilong and the military counselors are stationed, and report the news of Lu Bu's troops."
Zhang He glanced at the scouts. The enemy may not have any thoughts when they came, but their numbers and patterns have been figured out. If they go back, they may be ambushed. He doesn't want to touch them yet, so he doesn't take risks.
good.
"No, I'll go to Lingdao right away."
Although these scouts belonged to the Yingyang Army, there was no organizational structure during the war, only superiors and subordinates. Besides, Zhao Yun was in Lingdao, so it was a good time for them to go there, so the scouts had no doubts and directly clasped their fists at Zhang He, then turned and left, facing Lingdao.
Running wildly in the direction of the road.
"Here comes someone."
After the scouts left, Zhang He directly called his personal guards.
"exist."
The guards came in and saluted Zhang He with fists in his hands.
"Tell the captains of all departments to prepare for me. The enemy may come at any time. We cannot let them catch us by surprise."
Zhang He gave orders directly to his guards.
"General, the enemy's scouts are watching outside. We should be ready now, okay?"
Upon hearing Zhang He's order, the personal guards were also stunned. If the martial law is enforced now, would the scouts outside notice it?
“You think they don’t know now?
The scouts have been released, if we don't show off, it will make them confused, so do as I say."
Zhang He shook his head, a gleam of wisdom flashed in his eyes. The scouts were here. If he still looked unhurried, wouldn't it make the enemy suspicious? If he wanted to do it, he would do the whole thing and show the martial law to Lu Bu.
"promise."
The guard no longer hesitated, directly clasped his fists, and walked out.
Zhang He's order spread throughout Yingdao City, and for a time the entire city's troops and horses mobilized to the city. The entire city suddenly became different, and a murderous atmosphere was clearly revealed.
"Lieutenant, as expected, those scouts reported to the general to dispatch troops. Now the entire Yingdao City is under martial law, and the number of troops and horses on the city wall has doubled."
Yingdao City was under martial law, and the scouts who were ambushing outside the city immediately reported the news to the captain in charge.
"That's for sure. The enemy's spies have entered the city. It would be strange if the city was not under martial law."
The lieutenant was not surprised at all by the information brought by the scouts. If the camp was still the same as before, then there would be a problem.
"Should we report it to the general?"
The scout glanced at the captain, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Well, go find the general immediately and tell him that Yingdao City has been put under martial law. Also, make a close inspection to see if there are any soldiers heading north to ask for help."
The captain thought for a moment and decided that he should report to Lu Bu. In addition, he sent people to closely monitor the movements of Yingdaocheng.
"promise."
The scouts clasped their fists together, and at the same time, more than fifty scouts were sent to the north of the camp road to monitor whether Zhang He sent troops north to ask for help.
Zhang He had already guessed what the other party was thinking, but in order to prevent the enemy's scouts from moving, he directly arranged for nearly a hundred cavalry to leave, in order to let them retreat in the face of difficulties.
"so many people?"
The scouts who were arranged to intercept in the north were confused when they saw nearly a hundred cavalry heading north. Originally, they thought Zhang He was asking for help, and there were no more than ten people at most. Now, more than a hundred people came, which was more than their own people.
, how to rob and kill?
"Do you want to do it or not?"
One of the scouts gulped and felt depressed.
"Fuck you, there are twice as many people as us, how can we rob and kill them?
Hide them all for me and report them to the captain as soon as they pass."
The team leader also glared at the man, with a flash of anger in his eyes. How the hell did he become a scout? He is such a fool.
"promise."
Hearing what the team leader said, the scout also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang He's troops headed north, while the remaining scouts turned back in despair.
"How about it?"
When the captain saw the team leader returning, he quickly asked questions.
"Colonel, my subordinates are incompetent and failed to stop the enemy's request for help."
The leader of the team knelt down on one knee directly to the captain.
"There are fifty of you, but you still can't stop a few envoys who are going north to ask for help?"
Hearing what the team leader said, the captain became angry immediately, "Why did I send you up here to eat?"
A day trip to Yingdao?
"Sir, the enemy is not just a few people, but two whole teams of over a hundred cavalry. I don't dare to alert them, so I can only let them pass."
The team leader knocked his head to the ground, a trace of depression flashed in his eyes. He was screwed. Fifty people stopped a hundred people, but you sent a good command.
"Two teams, over a hundred cavalry?
The general of this camp in Daocheng is quite stable, that's all, it's not your fault."
The captain looked at the kowtowing team leader and felt depressed for a while. When others asked for help, it was just a few people standing out. You just sent a hundred cavalry. You really don't care about Wood.
"Thank you Captain."
When the team leader heard this, he stood up and saluted.
"So what do we do now?"
Another scout glanced at the captain, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Immediately go and report to the general that Yingdaocheng has sent people north to seek support. I want the general to act quickly. If the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will be in trouble."
Now that the enemy has asked for reinforcements, the captain also knows that the matter is urgent, so he directly sends people south again to ask Lu Bu to seize the time to advance. Otherwise, if the reinforcements really arrive, it will be difficult to get a good start.
"promise."
Lu Bu's army quickly moved north, and arrived directly at Xiemu City in three days, and then began to rest and recuperate. After all, the army was tired after traveling such a long distance in three days.
"General, the spies from the camp are back."
Lu Bu was resting, but the scouts stationed in the camp road had already arrived to meet Xie Mu and Lu Bu.
"Bring someone in quickly."
When he heard that the scouts had returned, Lu Bu also became immediately interested.
"General."
The scout came in and knelt down on one knee to salute Lu Bu.
"What's the current situation on the camp road?"
Lu Bu glanced at the scout and directly asked about the situation of the camp road.
"General, the enemy has scouts in Fuchuan, so after you sent out troops, they immediately returned to the camp road to report. The captain was afraid of alerting the enemy and did not dare to intercept. Now the camp road city is well prepared, waiting for the arrival of the general's army."
