Hao Fu was a deputy lieutenant of the scout camp of the 1st Division of the Second Army. He was ordered to lead his brothers as guides to guide a team of imperial guards to Tanzhou. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of task. What the scouts do was to reconnaise the enemy situation, survey the terrain, and open up paths for the army. As a guide was also one of his responsibilities.

During this period, Hao Fu's team was performing reconnaissance missions in the Danzhou direction, especially after the friendly forces failed to fight, the enemy cut off the main road, resulting in interruption of contact. In order to learn about the situation of the friendly forces, they frequently went deep into the war zone to detect, and sometimes they had to act as messengers to deliver war reports. Therefore, he often had to go deep into the enemy's back and was very familiar with the main roads here.

This time as a guide was just an ordinary task in Hao Fu's opinion, but he felt unusual, because before leaving, the governor personally summoned them and repeatedly reminded them not to take risks in this trip, strictly prohibiting fire with the enemy, exposing his whereabouts, and rather take a detour than avoid encountering the enemy.

If you can't avoid encountering the enemy brigade, you must ensure its absolute safety, even if they sacrifice all their sacrifices. This task is strictly confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone afterwards, including their direct superiors. And you must not talk less and do more, and do not try to find out about his identity and tasks, otherwise you will be engaged in military law.

Although the governor was vague about what the team of imperial guards did, Hao Fu intuitively determined that there must be a big man among them, and the imperial guards were to protect his safety. Thinking about the person who could let the emperor send imperial guards to escort him, his identity was definitely not simple, at least it had to be the same as their chief official rank, and walking with the important man also made him feel a lot of pressure.

However, what made Hao Fu excited was that the governor not only promised them to go to the arsenal to exchange for new guns and find supplies to collect the required supplies, but also went to the horse shed to select suitable horses. The opportunity was rare. Not only did they receive new rifles, but they also secretly left old guns. The black-faced man who had always been strict in managing the arsenal just pretended that they didn't know.

In the early morning, Hao Fu met with the guards in front of the imperial guards. Everyone had a brief understanding, and then agreed on signals and code words for mutual communication and gathering places if they were separated. Then they hurriedly had breakfast and quietly left the camp, because a long distance after leaving the camp was in the area controlled by the Song army. Not only were there garrisons along the way, but also cavalry patrols, so they didn't have to worry about enemy attacks.

However, Hao Fu found that the imperial guards did not relax their vigilance. They replaced the dazzling imperial guards' black uniforms and put on the same yellow and green uniforms as themselves. Although the number of people was small, they still maintained the battle formation. Not only did they require the vanguards to go out to explore the way, but also had avant-garde and a defender who could contact and cover each other when attacked, and also sent a raft to circulate around to support them.

What made Hao Fu frustrated was that these people seemed to have no trust in them. The vanguards who came forward should have been their scouts, but the guards of the imperial guards insisted that they would send two more people to accompany them, and they didn't know whether to monitor them or not believe in their abilities. However, thinking that these people were from the imperial guards, they could not even afford to offend the governor, so they could only endure it.

Looking at the carefulness of the guards in front of the imperial guards, Hao Fu couldn't help but be worried that these former elites would have lost their former aura after being "pampered and elegant" by the emperor for a long time, and became so timid and cowardly. When entering the area controlled by the enemy, would they panic and be confused after encounters between the two sides?

Hao Fu soon found that his worries were a little extra. Although these people were less timid, they were very familiar with the ranks. When marching, the horses kept walking quickly and did not gallop with their horses. After walking for thirty miles, they would stop their horses for a while, drink water, clean the horse's nose, feed some essence, and switch horses to keep their horses full. People would take the opportunity to rest, drink water, eat some dry food, and rotate jobs. After all, people's energy is limited and they cannot always maintain strong energy, resulting in a decrease in vigilance.

"Counseok, slow down!"

"Shangguan, what are you going to give?" After a brief rest again, Hao Fu, who was about to replace his own soldiers who were exploring the way forward, suddenly heard someone calling him and quickly turned around and saluted.

"Guozheng Hao, who among you is the most familiar with the road ahead?" Xu Hong came over and asked.

"Report to Shangguan, it should be in the lower house." Hao Fu replied, "Bizhi has traveled to Tongzhou and Tanzhou many times to investigate the terrain or convey information!"

"Well, Team Hao is staying in the central army for the time being, and I will send someone else to replace him!" Xu Hong replied.

"Why is Shangguan this? I am the most familiar with the road, so I should go ahead to guide the way!" Hao Fu was unwilling to stay with these "Shangguans" and instinctively refused.

"Guozheng Hao, I have no other intentions, just because we are not familiar with the road ahead. Once the vanguard is unexpected, we still need a guide who is familiar with the road." Seeing that he was a little reluctant, Xu Hong immediately realized that there was a misunderstanding and explained with a smile.

"As for the order!" Hao Fu felt a little frustrated by this explanation, but knew that what he said was true. He knew that the first person to die in a war was often the scouts, and the battle loss rate was also the highest among all units. And the first person to encounter with the enemy during the march was also the vanguard. Once he could not avoid fire in time, he would never return. Then it was very necessary to retain a person who was familiar with the route.

Although he felt very uncomfortable, Hao Fu still urged his horse to enter the ranks of the central army. In fact, it was a bit reluctant to say that the central army was a little bit reluctant. Apart from the vanguards who were exploring the way, the front and rear guards were arranged, and the so-called central army had only about fifty cavalry. He was amused by the statement that he had pulled the big flag and made a tiger skin.

However, Hao Fu, who joined the Central Army, felt a little inferior, except for disdaining their nervous appearance. Although he tried his best to straighten his body and seemed to make himself taller, the Mongolian horse under his butt was not strong enough and was shorter than the other Western horse, which made him implicated, like a chicken falling in a group of cranes.

"Deputy Commander Hao, your horse is not big, but your foot strength is very good. You can keep up with us without falling down!" Because it was a marching, the team did not need to maintain a strict queue, but just kept a loose queue. After walking a few miles, a royal guard immediately stepped forward and walked with him, handed a water bag and said with a smile.

"Shangguan, although Mongolian horses are small, they have good endurance. Your Western Region horses are big and fast, but they are not able to withstand long journeys. If they enter the mountain, climb the mountain and cross the stream, they will not be able to keep up with the Mongolian horses under our seats!" The long-distance march is actually very lonely. The war horses can almost not be controlled by the owner, and they can follow the brigade. Hao Fu and his personal guards have never known each other, and they think they are tall and do not want to talk to them. But when they take the initiative to show their kindness, he doesn't need to keep people from thousands of miles away. He took the water bag and drank it and handed it over and said.

"I can't afford to be a Shangguan. We have the same ranks. Although we don't belong to each other, we are both military robes. My surname is Huang, so how can we call each other brothers?" The guard took the water bag back and drank it, and said, "It's better for us to call each other a brother."

"Brother Huang, my brother's surname is Hao, and his name is Fu!" He was kind-hearted, and he became pretentious when he was talking to himself. Hao Fu bowed.

"Brother Hao said that his accent is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He looks young, but he is already a deputy lieutenant. When did he join the army?" Deputy lieutenant Huang, the emperor Zhao Bing, saw that the emperor pretended to be a pig and a tiger and called him brother. No one of them would make trouble for him. He seemed to be tired, so he threw off Zuo Steam and sat sideways and half on the saddle, asking face to face with him.

"My family is from Huizhou. In the 12th year of Xiangxing, I joined the army. I participated in a Northern Expedition to conquer Lianghuai. I entered the martial arts school for two years and graduated from the school and was promoted to deputy lieutenant last year. I was in the army of the division's scout camp!" It was not easy to recruit troops to accumulate merits in the Song army. Not only did I fight bravely, but I also had to be able to read and write. Hao Fu was quite proud and authentic.

"Brother Hao is like this, and he will definitely make a fortune in the future." Zhao Bing praised sincerely after hearing this, showing an envious look, but the guards around him couldn't help but want to laugh. Whether this can make a fortune and the smooth road of the government is not what you said, but now he can only hold back his smile and nod and cooperate with the emperor in a show.

"When did Brother Huang join the army? How did he join the imperial guards? It is said that it is difficult to enter the imperial guards!" Everyone likes to listen to flattery, and Hao Fu said without asking back.

"Alas, when I was young, I wandered to Qiongzhou and was taken over by the old camp of the General's Mansion. In the tenth year of Xiangxing, the emperor sent troops to Jiangnan. All the troops were expanded. I joined the army. I was left in the imperial guard group at that time because I was old and I was still in the imperial guard group at that time. I only followed the army to guard the army and did not make any contribution. I was only old and homeless, so Shangguan Lianxi rewarded a deputy lieutenant, and there was no way to compare with Brother Hao!" Zhao Bing shook his head and sighed.

The emperor's sad face was indescribable to say whether he lamented his bad fate, or envied that he could make military achievements in the battle, and did not want to be able to stay in the army with mercy. If everyone around him did not know his identity, they would probably be fooled. Now they all tilted their heads and whispered their lips, thinking that the emperor was too unkind to fool honest people.

But everyone has to admire the emperor's acting skills, which successfully won the sympathy of Deputy Weiwei Hao, and brought the two closer together. When they hit the nail on the head again, they were already talking about everything and could talk about women's best friends together, and they almost swear to the swearing of a swearing party.
