The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1033 The Collision of Scouts
The army marched to the border, and the supply line from Minzhou to the military camp was much longer. In desperation, the government had no choice but to pay and recruit civilians to deliver supplies for the army, at least to ensure that the rear was safe and stable.

Up to now, Xuan Shijing can just sit in the Minzhou government office, so Minzhou still has to be governed by the county magistrate, while Xuan Shijing is going to take Qin Bingyue to follow the army Go to the front and camp.

Early the next morning, the envoys from Chang'an City brought the military pay and the order of His Majesty Li Er to the Minzhou government office. After handing over the military pay, the envoys gave the imperial edict to Xuan Shijing.

This is an imperial decree to let Xuan Shijing act cheaply, that is to say, Xuan Shijing alone has the final say on matters in Minzhou.

This is a heavy trust.

After receiving the angels and making arrangements, Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue packed up and went to the barracks. The battle was endless, and it was estimated that they would not be able to return to Minzhou City, so Xuan Shijing asked the Minzhou county government and government government to merge into one Together, they all moved to the government office to handle affairs, and Minzhou City was entrusted to the county magistrate.

After arriving in the army, Qin Bingyue had to change into men's clothing. As for Qin Bingyue's safety, Xuan Shijing was not worried. Although she said she had been in the army for three years, and a sow could compete with Diaochan, Qin Bingyue's own strength It's not for nothing, and Qin Bingyue is Xuan Shijing's maid, those soldiers dare not hit Qin Bingyue's head.

The [-] army is ready to go, and it will take about a day to reach the border. The scouts have already set off. When they reach the border area, they need to find a place for the army to set up camp.

There are two roads leading to Minzhou, one is guarded by Xuan Shijing and Gao Jun, and the other is guarded by Qin Huaiyu and Chang Le, so the troops are divided into two routes.

Xuan Shijing's camp is about five miles away from that road. Such a distance is within the controllable range of the scouts. Moreover, the place where the military camp is stationed is relatively high and easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be used as the base camp. Standing on a high place and looking down, the field of vision is relatively wide, but if you want to know the specific situation in the forest, you still need scouts to search around.

Within half a day, a camp of 5000 people was set up in full swing.

That night, Xuan Shijing discovered something unusual in the news sent back by the scouts.

"It's tonight." He looked at Gao Jun, Pang Mi and others with a serious face.

"Tuyuhun also knows that the best time for the vanguard to enter Minzhou is at night, so that the local people will not find out and report to the government. In this way, they will have more opportunities." Pang Mi said.

"At first I thought there was still half a month to go, but it really is a war, and the form is impermanent." Xuan Shijing said: "Pang Mi, take 5000 people and lay an ambush on both sides of the road first, and the Marquis will bring 5000 people as backup. Once the enemy is found If the army enters the trap, immediately encircle and kill them." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Pang Mi answered with cupped hands.

Although it is a night march, five miles is not far away. There is still a difference between marching down the mountain and marching on the flat ground. What's more, the vegetation on the mountain is relatively lush. There is only one path leading to the barracks. An hour, maybe not enough.

"Master Hou, our scouts have met Tuyuhun's scouts." Gao Jun walked up to Xuan Shijing with a solemn expression and said.

"And then?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Two people died, and the other party was completely wiped out." Gao Jun said.

"It's still not enough training." Xuan Shijing sighed: "This jungle is the world of scouts. If the soldiers we bring out, there will be no casualties." Xuan Shijing said.

It's just a pity that Qin Huaiyu took Xuan Shijing, the five hundred soldiers from Dongshan County, because the road where Qin Huaiyu was stationed was much wider than this one, and people from Tuyuhun were more likely to take that road, so Stationing there requires an elite team to help investigate, and the soldiers from Dongshan County are the most suitable.

"It's only been half a month, and there are so many people, naturally they are no better than the soldiers trained by you, Lord Hou." Gao Jun said: "Tuyuhun's scouts have been removed, and my subordinates are afraid that there will be something wrong with the scouts at Tuyuhun. New action."

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No, it's too late."

Now Tuyuhun's army is ready to go. It is just a few scouts from Tuyuhun territory to Minzhou territory. Counting the time, even if the scouts return to the army from Minzhou territory, the time is enough for the Tuyuhun army to enter Minzhou The encirclement of the state army.

"I don't know what's going on with Brother Huaiyu." Xuan Shijing said while rubbing his chin.

Judging from the actions of the scouts, there must be a certain size of Tuyuhun's army on this road tonight. Does this mean that this is the route that the Tuyuhun people chose to enter Minzhou?

Instead of walking on the wide avenue, take this remote path. First, the number of people will not be too many, and second, the concealment is good.

This is an advantage, but the disadvantage is that the environment on the road will delay the marching speed.

Xuan Shijing thought in his heart, once Li Zhi left, they would not fix the situation in Minzhou, so they entered in such a low-key way.

"Master Hou, the scouts have discovered Tuyuhun's army, and now Pang Mi has led people to surround them." The scouts hurried into Xuan Shijing's tent and said.

"How many people are there?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"There are about 2000 people." The scout responded.

"Master Hou, in this jungle, 5000 people besiege and kill 2000 people. It may be difficult to keep everyone alive." Gao Jun said.

"Let Gao Yuan take all the scouts and disperse them into the surrounding jungle. After Pang Mi confronts the Tuyuhun people, Gao Yuan will lead the search. Gao Jun, you bring 2000 people and rush to help Pang Mi." Xuan Shijing Said.

Since only 2000 people from Tuyuhun came, there was no need to go out in full force and sit in the camp to see what will happen in the future.

Seven thousand is against two thousand. If someone runs away, it will be a big shame.

Xuan Shijing walked up to the high tower built in the camp, and looking down the path, he could only see a little bit of starlight, which was the torches of the Tuyuhun army.

Tuyuhun's actions have been completely controlled by the Minzhou army, but the scouts they sent to Minzhou territory were pulled out one by one by the Minzhou army, so the gap came out.

"Report~~~~" The scout galloped in from outside the camp on a fast horse.

Xuan Shijing looked down: "What's the urgent report?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, half of Tuyuhun's army had already entered Minzhou when my subordinates came back. By now, all of them should have entered Minzhou." The scout responded.

"Notify Pang Mi, act immediately." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes!"
