Chapter 247 The Unreliable Scout (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)
At the second quarter of Yin Shi, Lu Bode looked at the burning camp outside the city in confusion, and listened to a mess of voices.

"What's going on here? Did we act early here?"

Lu Bode looked at Captain Changshui with a puzzled expression. The armored captain next to him, who was just about to set off, shook his head again and again:

"We've been here all this time, and we haven't even left the city!"

Lu Bode scratched his head, thought for a while and said:

"Could it be that the master issued a secret order to let the mountain side cooperate with you, but they misjudged the time and acted ahead of time?
But this doesn't make sense, it's impossible to cooperate with each other without notifying you in advance! "

The two of them frowned and thought about it for a while, but they couldn't figure it out. Lu Bode immediately said:
"No, I have to ask!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Bode turned around and ran down the city wall. Captain Changshui next to him asked Lu Bode's back quickly:

"Then what should I do here?"

Lubold stopped for a moment, then continued to run down, shouting as he ran:

"There are still two quarters of an hour before the fourth quarter. You should keep an eye on this side first, to prevent the Qiang people from making a surprise attack, and wait for the Lord's order. If there is no order, it will naturally proceed according to the original plan."

Lieutenant Changshui nodded, feeling a little excited when he thought of a guess. He looked vigilantly at the dark area between the Huqiang city and the Qiang camp to prevent the Qiang people from resorting to surprise attacks.

And Lu Bode ran down to the top of the city, and immediately jumped on the horse and ran to the captain's mansion.

After a while, he arrived outside the Colonel's Mansion. The Huben officers saw that Lu Bode did not stop him, and helped him lead the horse.

And Lu Bode ran to the mansion again, and was stopped by Sun Shang when he arrived at the back mansion. Sun Shang looked at him with a puzzled face:
"What's the matter?"

Lu Bode, who was out of breath, let out a sigh of relief, and quickly explained:

"Urgent military situation!"

Sun Shang heard the color change behind him, turned around and ran in one direction, Lu Bode took a deep breath when he saw this, and hurriedly followed.

The two ran to the gate of a small courtyard together. Lu Bode consciously waited beside the guards at the gate of Huben, and Sun Shang ran into the courtyard to report.

The sound of the door opening woke Xiao Lizi, who was sleeping in the side room, before she opened her eyes, she quickly got up, put on simple clothes and went out.

When Xiao Lizi left the room, he saw Sun Shang who had just walked to the door of the main room.

"Bang bang bang...my lord, bang bang bang...my lord, bang bang bang..."

Xiao Lizi ran over and waited at the door, while Huo Shan, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the knock on the door, frowning and asked outside the door:
"What's the matter?"

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation!"

Hearing this, Huo Shan, who was still a little dazed, woke up in an instant. He got up and rubbed his eye sockets, then pushed his hands to the edge of the bed and sat down.

"Come in."

Xiao Lizi immediately opened the door and walked in, while Sun Shang took one of the small stones on the window sill and threw it on the courtyard door, making a soft bang, and then walked into the room.

Lu Bode, who was outside the courtyard door, also ran in when he heard the noise.

Huo Shan ignored the two people who came in, and began to put on clothes, while Xiao Lizi picked up the bucket and began to prepare water.

After Huo Shan put on his pants, socks and boots, and Xiao Lizi's water was ready, Lu Bode also ran in.

Huo Shan sat still, Xiao Lizi ran over and brushed his hair, which was a little loose from sleep, and tied it tight.

Lu Bode bowed his hands and saluted:
"My lord, there is great chaos in the Qiang camp, and fires broke out everywhere."

"Ok!"

Huo Shan was taken aback, but he still responded with a calm expression, hold on tight!
Then he rolled up the sleeves of his underwear, went to the sink and began to wash his face.

Xiao Lizi devoted himself to serving Huo Shan, and Sun Shang sorted out Huo Shan's armor and weapons. The only one who had nothing to do and seemed more nervous and excited was Lu Bode.

But seeing Huo Shan's calm demeanor and behavior, Lu Bode also slowly calmed down.

Huo Shan wiped his face after washing, handed the towel to Xiao Li, and asked:
"What time is it?"

Hearing Huo Shanfa's question, Sun Shang quickly replied:
"In half a quarter of an hour, it will be the third quarter of Yin time!"

"Has Lieutenant Changshui set off yet?"

Lu Bode quickly replied:

"No, Captain Changshui and two thousand cavalry are waiting at the west gate."

Huo Shan nodded, and Xiao Li took the coat and helped Huo Shan put it on. After putting it on, Sun Shang took the armor, and the two of them gave Huo Shan one piece of armor, and Lu Bode also helped pass it on.

Xiao Lizi helped Huo Shan fasten the knife around his waist, and Huo Shan grabbed the feathers on the helmet and lifted it over his head.

"Go, go and see!"

Huo Shan immediately walked out of the courtyard first, and when he walked out of the courtyard, Huo Shan glanced at Sun Shang.

Sun Shang nodded, took out the whistle he was wearing around his neck and blew it.

As Huo Shan walked out of the mansion, Sun Shang blew while walking, the whole Xiaowei Mansion came alive, each small courtyard was lit up, then the door opened, Zhang Anshi, Huo Guang and others came out.

Regarding this sudden change, everyone did not ask Huo Shan, but Lu Bode who appeared suddenly.

After understanding the situation, everyone was silent all the way, and when they came to the gate of the mansion, everyone's horses were ready, Li Yu was also standing there pretty, but the champion didn't come.

As for Xiao Hei, he had already stood on Huo Shan's shoulders, and there were more than a dozen big wolves standing in front of everyone.

Huo Shan got on his horse and ordered two soldiers at random:
"You two go outside the city. You go to Shangguan Jie and ask him to come here immediately. You go to Captain Shesheng and ask him to lead Shesheng into the city immediately."

Zhang Anshi took out two Command Arrows from his bag and handed them to them.

"promise!"

The two soldiers bowed and saluted, then got on their horses and ran towards the east gate.

"go!"

A group of people went to the west city gate, and apart from these everyday people, Liu Ju who happened to be in Xiaowei's mansion tonight was also there.

At this time, Liu Shi, after more than a month of training, his originally fair skin has also turned into a wheat color. Although it is not very dark, it looks a lot more attractive.

His body is also a lot stronger than before, but he actually lost a lot of weight, but when you see him, you can feel that he is a lot stronger!

People have also become more and more capable with the exercise during this period of time.

At this time, he was riding a horse, recalling Huo Shan who calmly gave orders, his face was thoughtful.

A group of people arrived at the west city gate in a short while, Huo Shan jumped off his horse and climbed to the top of the city, and the others quickly followed.

"At the end, I will meet the governor!"

"Ah."

Huo Shan responded and ignored him. He came to the side of the female wall and squinted to look at the Qiang camp in the distance.

The distance was too far to see anything except the fires in a few places in the camp.

But with more than 4 people, the noise was still loud, and the chaotic atmosphere could be clearly heard from the top of the city.

Lu Bode walked to Huo Shan and asked:
"My lord, could it be the Yueqi Department in the mountains?"

Huo Shan immediately shook his head when he heard Lu Bode's guess:

"Impossible, the enemy army on the mountain side probably hasn't finished dealing with it yet, I didn't give an order, they don't know that our side will attack the camp tonight.

Moreover, Captain Yueqi wouldn't move lightly without orders, and the wolves didn't respond, it couldn't be them!
By the way, the scope of the Qiang civil strife is so large that it basically occupies the entire camp. Why haven't our scouts come back yet? "

Lu Bode next to him frowned and shook his head:
"The end will not be known!"

Huo Shan frowned.

Sima Qian next to him couldn't hold back and asked:
"Could it be the people from Huangzhong and Huqi?"

Everyone looked at him strangely, Huo Shan glanced at him, squirmed his mouth, and wanted to scold him in his heart, but thinking about so many people, it's better to save him some face.

As for the Huangzhong Department and the Huqi Department, that is impossible. The order was delivered a few hours ago, and the distance is nearly [-] miles, unless their horses have wings.

And they don't know that they will attack the camp tonight.

Even if they knew, even if they were beside the Qiang people, as long as Huo Shan did not give orders, they would not act rashly, unless it was a last resort.

It is very correct to complete and execute your own orders.

"It's the Qiang people's civil strife!"

Huo Shan calmly set the tone for this matter, and everyone's faces showed joy.

In fact, they knew this guess in their hearts. If there was no possibility for their own side, it would naturally be the enemy's problem.

But no one was sure, Huo Shan set the tone for this matter, and emotions appeared on everyone's faces.

It is really a civil strife among the Qiang people, which is of great benefit to our own side.

After hearing the sound of horseshoes behind him, Huo Shan turned around and began to order:
"Zhang Anshi, Tian Qianqiu, Captain Changshui, Shangguan Jie, follow me to investigate ahead."

"promise!"

"Roubold."

"The end is here!"

"Dispatch the remaining [-] soldiers and horses from the Changshui Captain's Department, and replace the [-] tiger and cardinal heavy cavalry with light armor, and go to the front lines of the plains on the north and south sides of the city to gather in front of the city and get ready."

"The last general takes orders!"

Huo Shan thought for a while and reminded:
"During the dispatch process, the flags and drums were silent, and the movement was quieter. This is a surprise attack."

"promise!"

Huo Shan looked around, then walked down the city, a group of people hurriedly followed, and Shangguan Jie who had just run up to the top of the city was dragged down by Zhang Anshi with a dazed expression on his face.

At this time, he still didn't know what happened.

After Huo Shan got down from the top of the city, She Sheng stepped forward and surrounded several people, the city gate opened, and more than 700 people rushed out of the city to the Qiang camp.

As soon as he left the city, Huo Shan ordered loudly:
"Two teams move forward, check the surrounding situation, and meet our scouts!"

Huo Shan gave an order, and the two teams immediately accelerated.

He had just left the city less than two miles away, and was still more than ten miles away from the Qiang camp, when he encountered returning scouts head-on.

The scout was brought in front of Huo Shan, a group of people kept on going, Huo Shan turned his head to look at the scout:
"How's it going?"

The scout breathed a sigh of relief, after such a long delay, the city himself came out to investigate, and he was actually quite afraid that Huo Shan would blame him.

"Back to the governor, what happened in the first half of the night..."

The scout looked carefully at Huo Shan, but Huo Shan frowned:

"Keep on talking, finish it all at once!"

"Huh? No!"

"The incident should have happened in the first half of the night, the reason should be the civil strife among the leaders of various ministries, and the place where it happened was in the middle of the Qiang camp.

But the camp of the Qiang people was too big, and we were on the outskirts of the camp, so we didn't realize what happened at first.

It wasn't until Zi Shi passed that the scope of the civil strife gradually expanded, and I didn't detect it until then. "

Huo Shan was about to explode with anger, this man was like a pig, he didn't know how he became a scout.

Who asked you why?The reason for the situation at this time is a fart.

Huo Shan is also not interested in knowing how the civil strife happened, he just wants to know the situation of the Qiang army at this moment.

Not only Huo Shan was very angry, but everyone else was also the same.

Zhang Anshi increased his tone, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't explain why you reported the letter late. We don't want to know the reason, and the governor doesn't want to hear about the situation of the Qiang army at this time!"

"promise!"

The scout knew that he had said something wrong, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead and cheeks, he replied tremblingly.

Everyone was waiting for his next words, but after such an accident, the scout was confused and didn't know what to say!
Huo Shan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and stopped looking at him:

"Go back to the city and rest, eat a good meal, I can't rely on you, I will go and see by myself!"

Then he ran towards the Qiang army at a faster speed, and the others quickly followed, but the scout was full of fear, and the horse under his crotch stopped slowly without controlling it.

While running, Huo Shan told Zhang Anshi behind him:
"Investigate which department this scout belongs to. The school captain and ten army sticks. The scout's army Sima and military waiter are the first-class criminals. The scout is also third-class, and this scout killed him directly!"

"promise!"

Huo Shan suppressed his anger for a long time, but he still couldn't suppress it, and started to yell:
"How did this kind of person become a scout, ah, is his immediate superior blind?
Most of the intelligence of the whole army comes from the scouts, they are the most important part of the army, if everyone is like him, then what kind of battle is there for me? "

Everyone was silent and hurried on their way. This matter was indeed a huge problem. They didn't even want to say such words as calming down their anger. Instead, they hoped that Huo Shan would kill more.

In their view, let alone beheading one person, it is not a problem to behead hundreds of scouts today. The military law clearly states that if you neglect your duty, you will die!
But the information didn't come, and the head coach went to investigate by himself. Isn't this the dereliction of duty of these scouts?

It was actually their luck to meet Huo Shan today, only one person died, and the others still had a chance to make a contribution.

Huo Shan usually doesn't care about military law, he used to need it, and now he doesn't need to rely on killing people to build his prestige, so he didn't take care of military law himself.

Basically, his subordinates reported it, and he signed and stamped it and dealt with it according to law.

But other people don't agree with Huo Shan's operation so much. They think that there is no strict military law, and it is no different from stragglers.

Matters dealing with military law are in the hands of Zhong Gan and Han Zeng, and Huo Shan's majesty is maintained by them.

If today's matter falls into their hands, these people will all die.

Majesty and prestige are two different things. Huo Shan's prestige is very great. The soldiers worship him and are willing to follow Huo Shan to kill the enemy.

But without the corresponding majesty, you can't command the army.

Because the soldiers worship you, but they are not afraid of you. When the army should retreat, they each have their own opinions.

Anyway, your coach won't kill me, so why don't I take the risk of attacking!

If things go on like this one after another, let alone majesty, I'm afraid they will lose even prestige.

How else can we say that compassion does not control soldiers? This is just one aspect of it.

Huo Shan is indeed soft-hearted. He is a very emotional person. If you have no relationship with him, he won't even look at you when you die!
Not to mention 'enemies', how much you come, how much I cut!
But for his own soldiers and his subordinates, Huo Shan was indeed a little reluctant to do something, but that didn't mean he couldn't do it!

Therefore, Zhong Gan and Han Zeng have made great contributions to him in this regard, and they are constantly urging him!
