As soon as it was dark, after the soldiers were disbanded and rested, Yingyi called all the officers above the rank of 100 households to the front.

"Right now, we're training here, and more than 3,000 people say it's too much, it's a lot less. It doesn't have to be noticeable. Sitting around the fire, Yingyi's face was bright and dark in the firelight: "Therefore, we must understand the surrounding environment in time." ”

His gaze swept over everyone: "Tomorrow, select some elite soldiers from the thousands of households, form a scout team, and send them out to monitor the situation within ten miles of the surrounding area at any time." It is tentatively set for a 100-household establishment. As for the candidates for the scout of the 100 household officials, what are your opinions?"

Officers, you look at me, I look at you, after thinking about it, Zhou Li spoke first: "My lord, what do you think of Zhang Shi?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Shi.

"That's... What..."Zhang Shi was a little at a loss.

Zhu Bingkun also smiled: "My lord, my subordinates also think that Zhang Shi is suitable." He was born in Orion, and he is the most powerful at hunting and tracking, and the wild animals in the mountains can't escape his eyes. ”

When the officers heard this, they also felt justified. They all nodded in agreement.

Ying Yi smiled: "Okay, then Zhang Shi." ”

Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "The adults trust, and the subordinates will not let the adults down." ”

Ying Yi bowed: "I believe in you." ”

Then he said, "Scouts are the eyes of the army." Once a scout party is established, monitoring the surrounding environment, alerting for enemies, and even being the first to engage the enemy is often the most dangerous. As a result, scouts are paid five times more money and have the highest training requirements. Don't be able to do it. ”

"Tomorrow, I'll select the scouts first, and I'll practice myself. Practice while practicing. ”

...

Picking scouts isn't that hard.

As I said before, when choosing soldiers, the main body of the army is mainly honest and duty-oriented. However, scouts are different, in Yingyi's opinion, scouts should choose thorns. Because scouts often experience battles with very few numbers, they do not rely on military formations, but on their personal abilities.

These more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, generally speaking, are honest and dutiful people. But among the honest people, there are always those who are a little uplifted. It's easy to pick out.

An establishment of 100 households, 112 people, was selected in only half an hour.

And then naturally, there is training.

The training of the scouts, Ying Yi came in person.

The so-called thorn is often a character who thinks very highly of himself. The eldest of the days, the second and the second, and the third. The most direct way to convince such a person is to tell him that you are stronger than him. This point is placed on Yingyi, and there is no problem.

said that Yingyi tried his best to pull out the mountains and cover the world, and that was also idle.

The basic training of scouts is not based on military formations, but mainly on killing methods and strength.

Ying Yi doesn't know how to kill, and he doesn't know martial arts. But he is physically strong, and now he has experienced a lot of killings, plus he has observed the killing methods of Zheng Wu and others, and he also has some experience after experiencing it. I can't say how good the effect is, but it's not bad either.

This batch of scouts is in urgent need.

He had promised Pu Tiehammer that he would transport the iron to Bibo Valley within three days. And the iron is still buried underground in Yexian County. In addition, the grain and grass that 3,000 soldiers and horses need to consume are also buried in the ground of Ye County. This time, I only brought three days of dry food, and if I didn't take food from Ye County, I would starve to death.

The first task of this group of scouts was iron and food.

Therefore, he only trained for one day, and when it was dark, he was called up by Yingyi, and he personally led the team and drove thirty carriages quietly in the direction of Yexian.

Speaking of which, Yingyi lacks everything, but he does not lack silver, nor does he lack much chariots and horses. There are more than 200 chariots and horses in Ye County and Jinyi Wei to transport military salaries. Dozens of thieves' horses were also seized, plus fifty horses from Dongchang Fanzi, which was enough for the time being.

At this time, the scout team had a horse in hand, and also drove thirty two-horse carriages, all the way quietly in the direction of Yexian.

Halfway through, Yingyi called Zhang Shi over: "You bring two small flags to take the first step and see if there are any obstacles near the county seat." If not, don't have to reciprocate. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately. ”

"Whoa!"

Zhang Shi shouted in a low voice, and the scout team with two small flags came out and quickly moved away.

Then Ying Yi threw out a scout with a small flag and placed it on the south side, paying attention to the movement in the south.

Maybe it was good luck, I didn't encounter any trouble along the way, and I arrived at the county seat of Yexian County very smoothly.

This county town that was burned to the ground, everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw it.

I didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, came to the location of the original county office, and quickly found the entrance and exit of the cellar.

"Open. ”

Ying Yi waved his hand, and the soldiers dug away the floating soil, revealing a door panel. When the door panel was opened, a wave of stuffy air rushed up, and the person who rushed couldn't breathe.

"Wait a minute. Yingyi said.

Food is such a thing as a respiratory. The cellar is not ventilated, and the oxygen in it is thin, so it needs to be ventilated for a while before it can be transported.

After waiting for about a moment, Yingyi said: "Quickly carry grain and iron, don't delay!"

The grain stored in the cellar is a large head, and there is not much iron. Zheng Yunzhi once told Ying Yi that the total amount of iron material was only 50,000 catties. 50,000 catties of iron, how much is it? Only 40 tons (take 1 catty, 16 taels, 125 grams). A two-horse carriage can be easily pulled away with only twenty or thirty carriages. This time, Yingyi only took 10,000 catties, and five or six carriages were enough.

More wagons are still going to be used to transport grain.

The hands are fast and the feet are fast, especially Yingyi's hands, which is very fast. In a short time, thirty wagons were filled, and the cellar was restored to its original state, and the night cover was used to return at once. And at the end of Yingyi's departure, the man with a small flag erased the traces left by the chariot and horse, and was extremely cautious.

It's no wonder that Yingyi is cautious.

The things in Ye County's cellar can be said to be his lifeblood. It must not be exposed. Without the 200,000 stone grain here, and without the iron material here, even if Yingyi has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

When I returned to Xiaowangzhuang, the sky was already slightly white. If it is a light car, two trips back and forth is not a problem, and if Yingyi is alone, it is not a problem to take seven or eight trips or a dozen times casually. But thirty wagons full of horse-drawn carriages were extremely fast, and there was nothing to be done.

Fortunately, there were no accidents.

Unload ten carts full of food, and the rest continues. It will be transported to the Bibo Valley. The scout team was tired all night, and temporarily let them rest, Yingyi asked Zhou Li to gather a well-rested and energetic soldier composed of 100 households, and transported food and iron with Yingyi.

At noon, it was transported to Bibo Valley. No way, the mountain road is too difficult to walk.

When I returned to Xiaowangzhuang, it was already sunset in the afternoon.

The scouts have already rested, and Yingyi will not rest either, and will continue to train without mentioning. In the evening, it was another trip to Ye County. While taking food and supplies, the scouts were also rotated to practice. And as time went on, in the process of picking up supplies every night, the range of activities of the scouts gradually increased.
