Yu Chao is now a scout captain among the soldiers of Shayang County. In the past, he was once a senior scout of the border army of the Dayue Zhao Pass. After the defeat of Zhao Pass, he retreated with General Luo Yishui. After repeated battles, more and more companions fell on the battlefield on the way to retreat. On the battlefield, whether it is an attack or a retreat, the most dangerous ones are always the scouts.

Although they have been retreating, they have never lost confidence. When General Luo Yishui finally gathered tens of thousands of troops and was preparing to counterattack, a major change suddenly came.

When the Luo family collapsed, the general ran away alone, and tens of thousands of troops fell apart overnight. The last more than 20,000 regular troops, led by deputy general Pan Hong, were all transferred to the Qin-Mongol border and away from this battlefield.

At that time, Yu Chao had been promoted to the captain of the scout camp. When this major change came, he was not in the camp, but was spying on the specific military arrangements of the Qi army in front. When the scouts from behind spread the news to him, he could hardly believe that this was true. Is the pillar of Dayue, General Luo Yishui, forced to leave like this?

Dayue and the Qi people discussed peace, and to put it more bluntly, they surrendered, which made Yu Chao, who had been fighting the Qi people desperately on the front line, was discouraged. He disbanded his scouts, left the army alone, and quietly returned to his hometown Shayang County.

But what he never expected was that in Shayang County, he was recognized. As a military officer, he did not return to the team on time, so he could be dealt with as a deserter. However, Liu Xingwen, the commander general of Shayang County, gave him another opportunity, which was to lead the scout camp under his command.

Helplessly, Yu Chao had to put on his military uniform again, but this time, he was dressed in the clothes of the county soldiers. He originally thought that being a captain of a scout camp in Shayang would not have any real thing to do. The scout camp of the county soldiers was not a highly valued military in the regular army. There, the scout camp was just a decoration. Even if Liu Xingwen attached great importance to the scouts among the county soldiers, the scout camp was only a few dozen people. Of course, this was exactly what Yu Chao wanted. He now had basically no interest in war, and he happened to be able to eat a salary among the county soldiers and waited for death.

But soon, the thought of living a life of dying was shattered with the order coming down.

Go to suppress the bandits.

The bandit leader had a man named Zou Ming, which surprised Yu Chao because he recognized Zou Ming. As a former scout of the Vietnamese army, when he was spying on military information, he had some friendship with Zou Ming, the former leader of the rebel army, and obtained some information from him. Of course, he also gave Zou Ming information.

It was not that the two sides had a great friendship, but that everyone was just a member of the fight against Qi people at that time. I didn't expect that this guy had become a bandit now, which surprised Yu Chao and felt a little heartbroken.

That used to be a good guy! But now, since he has become a bandit, the soldiers and bandits are naturally natural enemies. To wipe out the bandits and keep the safety of the country, Yu Chao said that this is nothing wrong. No matter what the bandits have done before, at least this time, they robbed the food given to the Qi people regardless of the importance, so that the people of Fengxian had to endure the pain of lack of food, but also endured the poisoning of the Qi people again, which made Yu Chao very uncomfortable.

Because he is also a member of the people.

After all, Yu Chao is not the kind of person who cares about the country and the people. Deep down, he feels that he is just a commoner. The court has made this decision. What else can he do for a commoner like them? What else can they do besides obedience?

He had fought with the Qi people and knew the power of the Qi people.

In Zou Ming's opinion, it is correct to wipe out Zou Ming as soon as possible, let the Qi people retreat quickly, and let the lives of the people in Fengxian return to normal.

There were only more than a hundred people on the other side, but 5,000 people went out in Shayang County. This seemed to Yu Chao, it was an act of consuming money and food. This time, the difficulty of suppressing bandits was not fighting, but determining the position of the other side. There were only more than a hundred bandits. In such weather, in this terrain, Yu Chao could not understand the difficulty in the middle.

When the scouts were used, they hated him for a few. When the scouts showed their skills, Yu Chao suddenly realized that there were no people available to his subordinates. These guys who were known as scouts had no ability to scout. Of course, he had nothing to complain about, because for so long, as the captain of the scout camp, he had never cared about the skills of his subordinates in this regard.

Now, with no one available, he bit the bullet and divided the only people into three groups. The other two groups were searching in two directions, and he led one group to explore the direction where the other party was most likely to escape. For those two groups, he basically had no hope. He was just a dead horse as a living horse. It was impossible for a bandit of more than 100 people to be divided into multiple ways. Once it was dispersed in such ice and snow, the chance of survival was even lower.

The bandits on Yanshan were indeed as expected before the war. When they learned that the army was coming, they immediately gave up their nests on Yanshan and fled into the deep mountains. If they could not intercept them before the other party crossed Guishan, it would be a big trouble. The only good news now is that the bandits actually fled with the grain they stolen. The army found no trace of food on Yanshan. It seems that the bandits also knew that in such a season, without these foods, they would never survive this winter. It is precisely because of this that Yu Chao had a little confidence. If more than 100,000 kilograms of food and more than 100 kilograms of food, they could not go fast at all. If food was found on Yanshan, Yu Chao would directly suggest giving up the pursuit, because the bandits who were moving forward lightly would not be able to catch up.

From this perspective, Zou Ming and his group are very stupid.

Over the past two days, news came to him constantly, and they all found traces of the bandits. Only he had explored nothing. This made Yu Chao confirm that the enemy must be in front of him. No matter how stupid Zou Ming was, he knew how to hide his traces, and a man who was in the world would never lack these tricks. He could also find traces of the fools under his command. Apart from the other party deliberately revealing the tricks that lure them into taking the bait, he really couldn't think of any other reason.

He let out a long breath and watched the air coming out of his mouth form a stream of white mist floating in the air with the wind, Yu Chao sighed. This pursuit was indeed a thankless task.

He sat down cross-leggedly, grabbed a bite of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and then took out a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth. After two days, he still found nothing. In Zou Ming's team, there must be a guy who is good at escaping and hiding.

He looked up at the towering mountain peak in the distance. He ran to death at the mountain. He looked at the horses in front of him. But if he really wanted to walk, it was really not the same thing. He was single and chased him for two days, but he still had no trace of the other party. Yu Chao really admired the other party.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the ground unconsciously. His eyes suddenly froze. A little black flashed in front of his eyes. He lay on the ground, and his hands opened the floating snow on the ground, which was a pile of horse manure.

A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, grabbing your tails. He shouted in his heart. He flew away with his hands and clutched the snow, and more traces appeared in front of him. Under the floating snow, there were messy horse hoof prints and footprints. When the other party left, they buried their traces completely. Under the guidance of experts, this layer of disguise, Yu Chao, did not reveal any traces in the eyes of this great expert.

He stood up excitedly and ran forward. Since he found his whereabouts, the next thing was natural. He found more clues one by one. Everything was difficult at the beginning. There were big experts in this field in the other party's team, but since he had found the first clue, he could find more rules based on the other party's behavior and thus find more clues.

Yu Chaoquekong, the opponent's main force was in his direction. Because he found a large number of camel and horse hoof prints, based on the depth of the hoof prints leaving traces under the snow layer, he could infer how much goods the camel and horse carried. Since he found the camel and horse carrying food, he naturally found the opponent's main force.

Liu Xingwen, who was inexplicably informed when he saw the news sent back by the scout, said that the information sent back actually showed that the enemy had been found in all three directions. There were only more than a hundred people in the other side. Could it be that they were divided into three groups to escape? However, the information sent back in all three directions was accompanied by a large amount of evidence that the enemy was in front.

"They have only a hundred people in total. Regardless of the doubts on their way, we can just divide the troops out." Lu Feng suggested, "No matter which way, as long as we catch up with them, we will have an absolute advantage in the number of people. Are we afraid that we can't deal with them?"

Liu Xingwen nodded. Lu Feng said it well. No matter how the other party made a decision, he was far superior to his opponent in actual strength. After thinking for a while, he decided to focus on Yu Chao's direction. After all, Yu Chao was the captain of the scout camp who came down from the large army. This was a true skill, a proof drama that could make him believe undoubtedly, and also made Liu Xingwen more confident.
