"This one… "
The scouts of the Eastern Jin Kingdom were a little bit troubled. They looked at each other, and a person who was the youngest but was clearly the leader of these people said: "We don’t know the details. We are just scouts after all. Naturally important things. I won’t tell us, we just need to take the things we see back with letters.”
"Ok?"
Lu Yu's expression was not good.
"But... but the little one has a guess."
"Say."
"That's it, I heard... The original task of the barbarians was to clean up the battlefield in the rear, as much as possible to cause irreversible damage to the Great Jade Nation in a short period of time. They did a good job before, which reduced the worries of our Eastern Jin army. , It also effectively hurt the foundation of the Great Jade Nation, but... I don’t know why, since ten days ago, the barbarians' marching speed obviously could not keep up with the Eastern Jin's army. Originally, they thought that the Eastern Jin's speed of cannibalization was slow. , But now I don’t think it’s slow, but I also deliberately distanced ourselves from us. It’s very strange, so the Shangguan sent someone to conduct a close investigation. Only then did I find that several barbarians, headed by the Eagle tribe, had begun to secretly withdraw their troops. There are 20% of the troops who don’t know where they are going, and there is a tendency to decrease. I want to come... If it wasn’t for some crisis within the barbarians, it’s possible that the soft guys of the barbarians felt that they were earning enough and just filled their stomachs. I began to be afraid of the retaliation of the Great Jade Kingdom, and I have already begun to plan to defend myself. Shangguan must have the same idea, so he sent scouts to investigate many times, hoping to understand the barbarians headed by the Eagle tribe. What kind of calculations are they playing? Is there any trouble with their tribe?"
He finished.
Lu Yu listened quietly.
Then he smiled slightly, tilted his head, and asked: "What's your name?"
The leader of the scout was taken aback, and hurriedly smiled bitterly: "The younger one is called Guo Xiaohua. He first served as the captain of the third team of the scout camp of the Xuanzi Army of the Eastern Jin Kingdom and the Western Expedition. He has seen the son."
Lu Yu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Guo Xiaohua? It's an interesting name."
Guo Xiaohua scratched her head and said: "This... Hey, I'm a little embarrassed to say it. I heard that the child was handsome when he was born. Outsiders can't tell whether they are male or female by looking at their faces. Took such a name."
Lu Yu smiled, and said, "I think this name is pretty good. It's not a mess of family members like you said."
When Guo Xiaohua heard these words, her smile stiffened.
Lu Yu said: "Don't talk about it, but you became the captain of the scout at a young age. This is really young and promising."
"This... This is all due to the love of the officer, not that I have any abilities..."
Guo Xiaohua seemed very humble.
But in fact, his position is really not low.
The scout captain, in terms of organization, is at the level of a small captain, and can be regarded as a ten-man captain.
However, the scout team is different from other teams. On the surface, they are only inquiring about news, but in fact, the scouts of any country include a series of responsibilities such as expeditions, assassinations, clearing lurking, individual combat, and liaison with troops, and they have such capabilities. In terms of forces alone, the strongest in the army is never the heavy cavalry and forward battalion that can charge the battle most, but is definitely the scout unit.
So in fact, a squad leader of a scout army has an actual position in the army equivalent to a thousand-man captain!
To be able to control a thousand people, for Guo Xiaohua, who looks young in his early twenties, is definitely young and promising.
"You're too humble."
Lu Yu said softly.
Guo Xiaohua smiled embarrassingly: "In front of the young man, what is there to brag about? After all... the young man is now a prisoner of the young man. It is only the young man’s thought to kill him. What else is there to be proud of? of… "
Lu Yu couldn't help laughing, but because of his weakness, he laughed twice and coughed again, his whole body trembling.
Xiao Ruan hurriedly helped him Fushun's back, and it took a long time before he returned to normal.
Lu Yu wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "So I'm very curious."
"I don't know the son... What are you curious about..."
"I'm very curious, why a person who is disrespectful to heaven and earth is always so lucky? This makes me sometimes wonder if I am an illegitimate child of heaven and earth, so I am so loved by..."
Lu Yu's words surprised Guo Xiaohua, because he didn't seem to understand at all.
"Ha, it looks alike."
Lu Yu curled his lips, looked at Guo Xiaohua, and said somewhat jokingly: "First, the greatest role that the barbarians play in war is to confuse the audience. It is not really for cleaning the battlefield. The so-called chief knows this. Yes, they won’t send so many scouts because of the barbarians’ changes. Second, even if the barbarians’ changes need to be observed, there is no need to send people. The snakes are the head of the barbarians and they have already returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The information they can provide is far more than The scout investigation should be much more accurate and timely. Third, if what I expected is good, the East Daying of Dayu Kingdom has not been broken at all. The East Jin Kingdom can only go round and round from the left and right sides of the East Daying. This not only affects the speed of advancement, but also more importantly. Yes, because of the supply and the like, the battle line will only be stretched very long. In this way, the Eastern Jin Kingdom will have no time to take care of other things. It will only think of attacking inland as much as possible, looking forward to one day attacking the capital of the great jade country. Below the city, slap the country lord in front of the entire continent. This is what you want to do most in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. So... there is no need for a scout to walk this road closer to the north. Fourth Because of the invincible flower."
Lu Yu smiled and continued: "Because of the existence of the invincible flower, the Eastern Jin Dynasty automatically gave way to the masters of other countries, and would not want to have any connection or even conflict with the masters of other countries during the war, so this distance A place very close to the ice field would become a forbidden area for the Eastern Jin army. After all... if there are more troops, it is normal to have some quarrels with those who are above the top, instead of relying on your own strict military discipline. It's better to just cut off this opportunity. So there won't be people like scouts appearing in this place, after all... But the masters, most of them are suspicion, this kind of behavior will make them feel that the Eastern Jin Kingdom is not'friendly'."
"The son... what does the son want to say?"
When Guo Xiaohua listened to the clouds, she couldn't help but asked aloud.
Lu Yu ignored him and continued: "As for the sixth... the most important point, it is that you, no matter how you wear, no matter how you act, no matter what your language, can't hide your breath, or aura. This aura comes from all aspects. For example, your face is too white, but the scouts are unavoidable from the wind and sun. Even the natural beauty cannot resist the power of nature. For example, your hand is not a perennial holding weapon. There is a cocoon on the inside of the middle finger of the index finger, and the belly of the tiger’s mouth is very smooth, which is caused by holding the bamboo slips all the year round. Oh, now only you of the Eastern Jin Dynasty think that the slips are the most formal thing, even the people don’t use it. Your royal people still use it tirelessly. For example, your clothes and stockings are too tidy, and although your shoes are stained with some dust, there is no water mist, and there is no dust condensed into lump, which proves that you are not greedy for getting up early. This For the scout, it is a very lazy thing. But all of this is not more obvious than your hair."
Guo Xiaohua was startled, and subconsciously reached out and touched her hair, then... her entire face turned blue.
"Oh, it seems that you have found it too," Lu Yu smiled. "It's too smooth, isn't it? No matter what the cultivation level, if you want such a hair better than a woman, soak it with ointment every day, wash it with warm water, and special wood. Only by combing the wooden comb made can be maintained to this level, and the expenses... even if you add up the military pay of your entire scout team, I am afraid that it will not be enough?"
Guo Xiaohua's face became more and more ugly, and the sweat on her forehead began to flow down. He thought he was a perfect fit, but he didn't expect that in front of Lu Yu, he had a flaw in his whole body, and even Lu Yu gave him a feeling that he could not finish talking for a day.
Lu Yu sighed and said, "So... I have two questions for you now, I hope you can answer me clearly. First, who are you? Are you the prince of the Eastern Jin Kingdom? Or what nobleman? Or was it an important figure in a certain force during the chaos of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Second... What are you going to do when you come to the north of the battlefield!"
