In the east county, the county town is as quiet as water at night, the moon shines thousands of miles away, and the military camps stretch for more than ten miles outside the city, with strict patrols.

A patrol team with fifty people was walking through. Although there were not many people, they were all elite, wearing leather armor and war horses, and the scouts were equipped with excellent equipment.

The team was looking at the distance, and whispering: "You still remember the scope of our team patrols, right?"

"We all keep it in mind."

"That's good. This time we came out to explore the scale of the Great Army. If you observe it from a distance, remember not to act rashly. You will be divided into five teams, each with areas. It is limited to dawn. Return to the city after dawn and return to the county city to report the news immediately!"

"promise!"

"Next, be careful with each team."

The team was riding a horse in one direction with ten people, while the other fire chief called people and kicked the horse's belly and left.

The team led by the team was walking in one direction, either fast or slow. Because there was no torch, it was the moon, so I could only see the faint surroundings.

However, the advantage of doing this is that others cannot easily find their traces.

Scouts choose night vision, and they can watch more clearly than others at night. Such moonlit nights have not hindered these scouts.

The wild forest was dark and deep, with large areas of trees staggered. The team wearing cowhide armor was walking a few steps, suddenly stopped and staring at the front with a cold look.

"I wonder if you have any feelings, Dacheng Army has set up a defense circle." The team was not very loud, followed by ten people, and they heard it clearly. They immediately changed and drew out the long sword.

"Don't draw the knife, there is moonlight." The team was frowning and said, "You can't go ahead."

"However, the city's lord ordered..." Huo Chang said with some concern: "And other Huo Chang would not think so."

The team was so heavy that we moved forward: "That's why we have been following me for many years. To be honest, I don't think much of this battle, and I can guess that we will retreat to the information by dawn."

"Yes!" Everyone present responded, and no more in-depth thoughts.

Dacheng Military Camp, the main account "reported!"

"What's the matter?"

"General, the enemy scouts were found outside the camp, and a total of eleven people were shot and some escaped."

"Can you send someone to chase him?"

"General, the scout camp has followed."

"I already know, you can go on."

"promise."

In the central army tent, General Lu Gao asked his personal soldiers to go down and think in the tent. This matter was a small matter, but what he was thinking was naturally something else.

After a moment, he opened the curtain of the tent and ordered the personal soldiers outside: "If the information comes from the inside of the county town, please inform me immediately."

After receiving a positive response, Lu Gao put down the curtain and walked back to the tent.

The elite Luoyang army stationed in the city of Dongjun County was 5,000 elite troops, each of which could fight. In addition, there were more than 10,000 wing troops convened in the city.

If you directly attack hard, it will probably cause great losses to your side.

Lu Gaoyouzhou brought only ten thousand old subordinates, and the other army was the new army. The losses would definitely be significant against these five thousand elite troops.

There is no way, it’s okay to attack hard.

But the great tribes in the city have sent people to contact him, saying that they can be an insider in the city. In order to win the trust of him, they even sent their son out of the city secretly to ensure their safety.

After reading the information from Dacheng's detailed work in the city, Lu Gao confirmed that these people were trustworthy and thus had this expectation.

Time passes by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, an hour passes by.

The sky became deeper and deeper, and finally there were flying pigeons coming from the city behind.

"General, the people in the city have been arranged properly." The thirteenth corps of the thirteenth corps turned over and dismounted, and said the situation: "Dongjun is very vigilant, and several families cannot directly seize the city, but the general is attacking the city and the defenders arrange it to make the wing army mutiny. At that time, they can cooperate inside and outside to respond to our army."

Lu Gao pondered for a moment. This was very reasonable. Once the Dongjun was captured by the Yellow River, it would cut off the connection between Luoyang and the other two counties, which would be a great victory at that time. Therefore, it would make sense that the elite troops were arranged in this county and the defense was properly done.

"Since that's the case, you go back and report the message, saying that I already know." Lu Gao nodded and issued an order: "Let the army have a full meal tomorrow morning and start siege the city."

"No!" The people around responded and prepared immediately.

Spring goes and summer comes, and the fields are lush, but the earth shakes break the tranquility. The long and long teams stretch on the road, and countless people are like a huge dragon, coming out in a row.

Even when marching, you can still maintain a certain order, countless steps, causing the earth to shake faintly.

It was almost dusk. After a little while, the cavalry passed by quickly and kept shouting: "The emperor has ordered me to camp."

After shouting, the dust quickly left.

Wherever they went, the chiefs of each guard, capital and mansion quickly ordered the orders, and an hour later, the camp was set up.

Even if the new tent was too much, it would be stained with a lot of soil. The tents and stoves around the central army were burned. The tents were divided into ten people, and some soldiers were lying, standing or piled up.

After a moment, the fire grew in, sniffed a few times, and asked, "What are the good things today?"

"We are the imperial guards. We got a pig below and offered it up. We got half a tui."

"Not bad, is there any cans?"

The so-called canned food is a clay pot. The clay pots are now made into square shapes. The reason is that they can accumulate, but because they are fragile, they are still inconvenient to carry. Even if they are imperial guards, there are not many.

"There is another one." Someone moved out a small can and opened it.

"Not bad, it's a fish-flavored soup!"

In order to facilitate carrying, gradually solidify, it is to boil all kinds of food into soup, then dry it into solid pieces, and put it in a clay pot to keep it.

This not only lasts a long time, but also is convenient. When you use it, just dig a piece and throw it into the pot. Although it is very chowdery, it is rich in nutrients and is very popular among soldiers.

This method was not thought of by Wang Hongyi, but was a minor official below. As a result, Wang Hongyi was overjoyed and was promoted to three levels in a row. Now he is a ninth-rank official.

Of course, due to the limitations of raw materials, most of the solid blocks are now derived from the ocean.

Fish, kelp, cabbage, vermicelli, etc., were cooked together and dried, including salt, which was really good.

A soldier took off the marching pot with boiled water, opened the fire, threw it into the pot, and the fragrance spread out.

But at this moment, the horn that was gathering... was immediately thrown down, extinguished the fire, and ran out. The fire chief couldn't help but curse secretly: "Damn it, it's a random check again."

In the imperial tent, Wang Hongyi didn't know about this. It was dusk at this moment. There were dozens of candles on the huge tent, and teams of A troops outside kept passing by in front of the tent.

There were people coming and going inside, and officials and generals were constantly dealing with matters.

Wang Hongyi was sitting in the back at this moment, with a solemn face. On the desk in front of Wang Hongyi, there were several secret letters that had been opened.

Wang Hongyi's eyes fell on these secret letters, and the corner of his mouth moved, and a sneer came out: "What do you think?"

Opposite is Zhang Youzhi, a college student who accompanied the army and one of the prime ministers of the cabinet.

He became the prime minister in his thirties, nourishing his energy and body. Now he is tall and handsome, with a handsome body, a pair of eyes dark and deep, and has a strong temperament. He can no longer see the shadow of the scholar back then.

Zhang Youzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I am afraid, but according to the information, Duke Zheng can't sit still."

Wang Hongyi said nothing, nodded slightly, and looked at the memorial again.

"The navy was blocked by Baima Port, which cut off the way for the Hu people to go south at once. Attacking Dongjun, it cut off the connection between Luoyang and other two counties. Lu Gao chose a good partner, all of whom were talented as generals. No wonder Duke Zheng could not sit still."

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi was a little proud. He promoted it and recognized talents with a keen eye. Of course, this is based on luck.

If you have luck, you may not be talented, but the proportion is still very high.

After Wang Hongyi smiled, he said again: "Duke Zheng could not sit still, but hesitated to go out of Hulao Pass. He was really brave enough to move forward and was unwilling to stand firm. I really don't know how this man got this foundation."

"Emperor, the world is in chaos, tigers, wolfs, snakes and mosquitoes are everywhere, and they are enlightening the way for Allah. Therefore, Duke Zheng has some luck. Looking at the process, I still have some talent. I just rely on Yin to make a plan too heavy. When I meet the emperor's dignified and righteous teacher, I naturally have no choice but to do anything."

Wang Hongyi listened intently, stood up and walked slowly: "Where is Chang'an?"

"The emperor, the root of the matter is still based on the emperor's evaluation. He has no courage to advance and is unwilling to defend. Luoyang and Chang'an have constant information, but he really has to make up his mind to lead the Qin army into the pass, but he dare not. According to the information, he has increased his troops at Hangu Pass. This behavior of rat heads on both ends is really a laugh at the world."

"Just that's right, I still have to conquer Dongjun and take Guandu Port so that the navy can advance and retreat calmly. At that time, the remaining Gunpu two will be able to be pacified quickly. Once Gunzhou is leveled, what branch is Luoyang?"

"I believe that the emperor's army cannot be fast, and those who are fast can change, and those who are slow can change. Even if they march straight towards the Hulao army, they will not be able to advance or retreat."

He was very clear that the Duke of Zheng still had time now. If Wang Hongyi marched directly and quickly to attack Hulao, and Gunzhou was not yet leveled, he would be restrained and could not concentrate on using troops. The Duke of Zheng who was forced to be desperate still had time, so he would naturally be anxious to jump over the wall, either surrendering Hu, or turning on and off.

If it slows down, when Dongjun falls and Gunzhou is flat. If it has not caught up, the Duke of Zheng will also have time to jump over the wall. But now that the target is locked, the army is not fast or slow, so Liu Man cannot advance or retreat.

If you leave Hulao Pass to support Gunzhou, you may be surrounded and annihilated by Wang Hongyi. If you retreat to defend yourself, you will not be willing to accept it.

Time was lost like this. When Dongjun fell, Wang Hongyi's army had already been inserted into Hulao Pass. At this time, there was not much time to give Zheng Duke a chance to jump over the wall.

Wang Hongyi's footsteps were heard in the imperial tent. After a long time, Wang Hongyi praised: "You are right, it's true."

Yin's tricks cannot be up to the top at this level, and only this can be considered to have entered the military level.
