On a dark night, two men were lying on the ground on a high ground.

The sky is drizzling, and it drips on people's body in this cold night, making them look very frozen.

"Tao Wang, it's such a cold day, let's go back to the military camp!"

One of these two people is very young, at the age of 24 or 25, and the other is older, in his thirties, and the other is calm. They are scouts on the outside, with an older surname Wang and a young surname Liu.

The scout surnamed Wang glanced at him and hummed, "Military orders are like mountains. If you want to use your head as a ball for others, you can go back and try it."

The scout surnamed Liu shrank his head, and the single hatred and his hundreds of his personal soldiers were in the same ranks as each other, sharing the joys and sorrows, but at the same time, the military was extremely strict, with clear rewards and punishments, and he would never talk about any personal relationship.

However, the scout surnamed Liu still said unconvincedly: "I dare not disobey General Shan's orders, but what is Zhao Wei? A defeated surrendered general has the right to order us to do this and that. Judging from his fingers, I just don't accept it."

The scout surnamed Wang said, "Don't be dissatisfied. Zhao Wei's name is quite prosperous in Tubo, Longyou. When he became a general, our General Shan was just a mere general. In terms of qualifications, it was even better than General Shan. Moreover... I think he arranged military defense very properly and was not an ordinary person."

The scout surnamed Liu murmured in a low voice: "Then we can't expand the line of stalking to forty miles away, so General Shan has never just allowed us to extend to twenty miles outside."

"Okay, stop complaining. If you endure it overnight, you will pass. This is our duty."

"Wangtou, I..."

The scout surnamed Liu opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

"Shut up."

The scout surnamed Wang suddenly roared in a low voice, stopping his words, then raised his body slightly, raised his head, and looked into the distance, his face turning solemn.

When the scout surnamed Liu saw his expression, he hurriedly looked forward. In the dark night, a black trend was surging forward, and in a faint way, the neighing sound of flattery could be heard.

"Is it the enemy?"

"have no idea."

As soon as the scout surnamed Wang replied, he quickly pressed his partner beside him with one hand, and the two of them pressed against the ground.

In the dark night, dozens of fires lit up and then jumped up. They were rockets that dispersed in all directions. When they landed on the ground, they illuminated a small piece of world.

The scout surnamed Wang pulled the scout surnamed Liu and turned around and ran towards the bottom of the high ground. The two of them got on the war horses. The scout surnamed Wang said, "Immediately notify the brothers around to retreat. I will go back to the camp to report the situation here first."

Of course, it is impossible for the scouts who go out to guard, the only one of them is the two of them. The scout surnamed Wang is a school captain. Under the order of Zhao Wei, he led thirty scout soldiers out to follow him. The two are in groups, several miles apart.

"Okay, let's take action separately."

Although the scout surnamed Liu was not old, he was also a veteran of seven or eight years in the army. He took the order without any nonsense. The two of them were wrapped in coarse cloth and could not make any sound. They rode their horses and disappeared silently in the quiet night.

The curtain was opened, and Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei walked in quickly.

"who?"

When Jiang Daxiong heard the movement, he turned over, rose up from the ground, drew out his sword, and came to Li Xun to guard him.

"Big Bear, it's me."

Dan Qiu said as he lit up the oil lamp in the tent.

Li Xun was awakened by Jiang Daxiong's roar and stood up from the carpet. Looking at Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei who suddenly arrived, their faces were quite serious.

"What happened?"

Zhao Wei said: "Li Xun, there is a team of no less than 3,000 people coming towards us."

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly became tight, but he quickly calmed down. After two wars between Longyou and Jiangnan, Li Xun had already adapted to the sudden military changes.

"Is it an enemy or a friend?"

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice: "The scout came to report, and this group of people came at night, with strange movements, cautious all the way, and looked around, obviously not wanting to be known by others."

"It's so late at night, I come here secretly, and the people who come here are not kind!"

Li Xun looked heavy, looked at Shan Qiu and Zhao Wei, and said, "Although the number of opponents is more than us, the combat power is unknown. If we suddenly arrive, we may be able to catch them off guard."

Shan Qiu nodded and said, "I mean that too. Although we are not many, we are all elite soldiers, so we should fight."

Zhao Wei said, "We have a geographical advantage, why not just defend our power instead of merit, and then send people to Guazhou for help, just wait for reinforcements to arrive, and these people will defeat themselves without conquering them."

Shan Qiu glanced at Zhao Wei and did not say anything to argue with him. The enemy was approaching and quarreling endlessly, making it difficult to make a decision, which is a taboo.

Li Xun pondered and said nothing. Both of them had good opinions, just one word of merit and one word of mind. At this moment, Li Xun realized how heavy and difficult the next decision was when it came to a crisis. A wrong decision would involve many people... life and death.

"General, the troops have been assembled."

Lei Wanhai walked in and reported the report.

The hesitation on Li Xun's face disappeared and he became firm, and he just said one word: "Fight!"

At the critical moment, Li Xun was not panicked, and his stable mentality allowed him to quickly clarify his thoughts. After the Battle of Longyou, the army of the Dashi Empire was swept out of Longyou, so there was no established regular army of the Dashi Empire in the entire Longyou territory. The person who was hiding behind and wanted to die would probably not have that much energy and means to mobilize the regular army of the Dajin and openly launch an attack on him. This behavior was like rebellion, which was simply seeking death. No matter how much money was given, the generals with military power in the states in Longyou territory would never dare to do anything randomly. Since it was not a regular army, there was only one possibility... Bandits, before leaving, Li Xun visited Huang Xian for the last time and asked him to learn about the situation here. Huang Xian said that there were many bandits in the seven states west of Longyou, and the people did not support them.

Li Xun finally decided to take the initiative, just to figure out the key. If these people were bandits, even though there were many people, their combat effectiveness might not be very strong. They might even be just a group of mobs. They had five hundred elite soldiers in their hands, so why fear it?

"Li Xun and I led 300 people to attack from the middle, Zhao Wei and Lei Wanhai each led 100 people to encircle them from both directions."

Shan Qiu expressed his combat plan. Zhao Wei and Lei Wanhai nodded, thinking it was good, and looked at Li Xun. He was the main general. Shan Qiu's words can only be suggestions, not decisions.

Dan Qiu has led the army for many years, and has a lot of experience in the battle. Li Xun naturally has no doubts.

"Just do it like this, act now."
