After proper negotiation, Chen Hai decided to continue to advance into the hinterland of the enemy territory. When he had to straighten out his luggage and go out of the mountain at night, he heard a slight sound of breaking the air.

    Chen Hai looked up and saw a dark shadow flying across the night sky from the mountain in the north.

    It is a small spirit bird with a beautiful body. Its sharp eyes quickly catch Chen Hai''s body shape as they stand on the ridge of the mountain and emit a shrill whistling like fingernails across the glass.

    Under the watery moonlight, this is a Green Swan spirit bird with blue and black feathers. It stretches out its glittering metal claws, directly grabs Chen Hai''s shoulder and falls down.

    This is a spiritual Swan used for emergency message transmission in the military. It is less than a foot in shape. It is not a fierce spiritual bird, but it has an extremely keen sense of smell and nose, even surpassing the cultivation of nose knowledge by the strong at the peak of Mingqiao territory. It can fly and escape very fast. Taming this spiritual swan in the Wuwei army is mainly used for emergency message transmission, which is extremely efficient.

    However, the number of Linghu is very small. Li Xianghai''s two Linghu are on standby in front of the account. It''s not an emergency contact to send a message, and it won''t be used easily.

    Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Zhao Shan and Shen Kun all looked at each other. At this time, the messenger Linghu flew from the camp of Nantianmen stronghold, and the scales and claws were also tied with a thin metal tube to encapsulate the letter. Li Xianghai must have ordered them to return. There were other arrangements.

    "Let''s start now!" Chen Hai untied the metal pipe on Linghu''s scales and claws, but did not open it to see what letter was inside, so he turned over and rode on qingcung horse, took the lead to climb mountains and mountains, and galloped south to the snow covered grassland.

    "Is there something wrong with Uncle Li''s letter without reading it?" Zhou Jun asked uneasily.

    "At this time, if we are in a hurry to March, the enemy may lurk nearby. It''s too late for us to hide our tracks. How can we light a torch to read the letter?" Chen Hai said. "It''s not too late to see it when we enter the boundary of Yanchuan Prefecture."

    Zhou Jun looked up at the bright moonlight. He smiled twice and said nothing more. When he entered Yanchuan Prefecture, even if the letter ordered them to return to the camp, they could say that they had sneaked into the enemy''s territory and were easy to be detected by the enemy.

    However, only Chen Hai dares to do such a thing and is not afraid of reprimand.

    Five times in the direction of Tiebi mountain, the towering giant sword opened the mountain, and then the night sky was covered with clouds again. After an hour, Chen Hai led his department out of Yulong mountain from the dangerous and remote path and into the sparse forest grassland north of Yanchuan mansion. The dark night sky was covered with goose hair and heavy snow.

    At this time, Chen Hai opened the letter brought by Linghu. As expected, Li Xianghai ordered them to return to the camp for standby. There were other arrangements in the battle plan.

    Chen Hai, leaning on his horse''s back, hastily wrote a reply, explaining that they had sneaked into the enemy''s territory and rashly returned to the trip that was easy to be detected by the enemy. At this time, he could only risk continuing to sneak into the hinterland of the enemy''s territory and spy on the enemy''s situation as planned.

    Chen Hai rolled the letter into thin strips, stuffed it into a metal pipe, tied it back to Linghu''s scales and claws, and let it fly to the camp of Nantianmen stronghold in the north.

    At the southern foot of Yulong mountain, the climate is dry and unfavorable for farming. Coupled with the confrontation between the two armies, a large number of people have withdrawn from the southern foot of Yulong mountain, and there are few villages; After the autumn of the seventy first year of emperor Yi, the drought on the north and south sides of Yulong Mountain decreased, and the abandoned fields were covered with dense weeds and shrubs, which helped Chen Hai hide their whereabouts and sneak.

    There are still two hours before dawn. Looking at the snow, Chen Hai and his team have to rush to the mountains more than 100 miles to the south to rest before dawn. There are deep valleys and dense forests, which are easy to hide traces and can avoid the reconnaissance of the Marquis denounced by the crane Xiang army.

    They plan to stay there for a day, then go south by night, and maybe go around to the south of the Hexiang army line of defense.

    Nantianmen stronghold is more than 200 miles away from the southern edge of Yulong mountain. The rugged mountains are not conducive to the passage of the army. However, Linghu flew over the mountains to send a message. It only took less than half an hour to bring Chen Hai''s reply to Nantianmen stronghold.

    Chen lie has rushed to Nantianmen stronghold for the first time, set the central army accounts of the East Wing soldiers and horses in Nantianmen stronghold, and ordered the generals and captains of various strongholds in the east wing of Yulong, including those above the principal level of huanglongyuan Taoist academy, to rush to Nantianmen stronghold to report to him.

    At this time, Chen lie''s big account had gathered more than ten strong people.

    At this time, Li Xianghai knew the overall plan of Dadu general''s residence, and that Dong Liang, the God of Wuwei, would personally lead the main force to March south to lanchuan County, planning to tear down the defense line of Hexiang army in the north at one fell swoop. They had not recovered from the great shock.

    Li Hu walks in and gives Chen Hai''s reply to Li Xianghai.

    Li Xianghai read the letter written in thin paper cursive script. He couldn''t cry or laugh. He saw that Chen lie was looking at the golden sword edict urgently sent from Tiebi mountain and waved Chen Hai''s reply to Chen Zhang.

    "What, Chen Hai has led his troops into the enemy''s territory and can only move on?"

    The lights in the tent were bright and the generals gathered. Chen Zhang read Li Xianghai''s reply and asked angrily.

    Chen Zhang didn''t question Li Xianghai, a suwu colonel who was higher than him. He was just angry that Chen Hai didn''t listen to him and acted arbitrarily.

    "The messenger Linghu really flew back from Yanchuan County, and Chen Hai led the Department back, which is really possible to be exposed." Li Xianghai explained that he can''t say that he was unable to resist and summon Chen Hai''s Department back.

    Before tonight, he sent two teams to sneak into Yanchuan mansion to spy on the enemy. The other team is already on the way back, and Chen Hai is determined to continue to follow the original plan.

    Chen Zhang obviously won''t accept Li Xianghai to speak for Chen Hai. Now the crane Xiang army''s attention is in the direction of Heyang valley. Even if Chen Hai exposed their whereabouts in the north of Yanchuan, the crane Xiang army is in a mess. How can they arbitrarily send troops to intercept a small number of reconnaissance troops?

    Chen Zhang couldn''t guess what Chen Hai was up to. Even if Chen Hai led his troops to continue sneaking into the enemy''s territory, it would be more dangerous, but Chen Hai, as the "legitimate son" of his adoptive father, took the lead in disobeying the military orders of big accounts. Chen Zhang was extremely upset and worried that Chen Hai''s mischief would affect the prestige of his adoptive father in commanding the whole army.

    Hearing Chen Zhang''s slightly fierce words, Chen lie looked up and looked over here.

    Li Xianghai asked, "if I hadn''t gone there myself and brought them back?"

    He didn''t blame Chen Hai for disobeying the military order, but worried about the unpredictable situation in the south. He couldn''t explain Chen Hai''s shortcomings in front of Chen lie.

    "The war is about to break out. Where can we manage the mischief of those bastards?" Chen lie frowned. Although he was worried that Chen Hai would continue to sneak into the enemy''s territory too risky, he would not let the general in front of the account risk to recover Chen Hai at this time.

    "This guy is really not reassuring!" Chen Qing said disgustingly.

    The war was imminent. Not only Zhao Ruhui, Zhang Huaiyu and others had to listen to the mobilization in front of Chen lie''s account, but thousands of Taoist soldiers over the age of 15 in the Taoist school were also incorporated into the personal soldiers and guard camps in front of the accounts of various ministries under the leadership of Zhu Chuangong teaching.

    Nearly 400 disciples of the Taoist school, including nearly 200 teenagers from the disciple camp of the herbalist''s garden, as well as Chen Qing and other principals and deacons, were directly incorporated into Chen lie''s Huwei camp.

    At this time, Chen Qing and Su Ziling naturally rushed to Chen lie''s account to listen to Hou''s orders.

    Chen Qing admits that Chen Hai has some talents in military affairs such as military training, but that''s right. He thinks he should come back immediately to help his father deal with military affairs. Unexpectedly, he is so willful that he has to continue to dive into the enemy territory with 60 or 70 people.

    When Chen Hai was incorporated into the army, he mainly worked in front of Li Xianghai''s account. Li Xianghai could vaguely guess what Chen Hai wanted to do, but it was inconvenient to say it directly.

    At this time, Su Yuan, who sat aside and helped Chen lie sort out his copy, looked up and thought of something and said to Chen lie: "The young marquis is alone in the enemy''s territory. If he returns rashly at this time, there is indeed a danger of exposing his whereabouts. It is inconvenient to send someone to pick him up at this critical juncture, but he should be able to send a Linghu to contact him at any time. If he really wants to encounter any dangerous or favorable fighters, he can be summoned in time."

    There are not many Linghu who have been used in the army. Chen lie can call seven or eight heads to quickly pass military orders in the camp of Nantianmen stronghold, but there won''t be a big problem if he squeezes out one head. It''s better than an expert like Li Xianghai.

    Li Xianghai glanced at Su Yuan, pondered over his words, and thought that he should have guessed that Chen Hai sneaked into the enemy''s territory to capture favorable fighters, so he suggested to Chen lie.

    Thinking of this, Li Xianghai pondered a little and suggested to Chen lie: "after general Dadu ordered 30000 elite of our department to go out of Yulong mountain, they occupied the stronghold city at the south foot to form a camp to protect the main force, but the battlefield is ever-changing. We should transfer people and horses from the general Huwei camp and reorganize an elite Riding Camp, which can move at any time and capture more powerful fighters..."

    Thirty or forty thousand troops and horses on the east wing of Yulong camp are mainly infantry, and a small number of mobile cavalry are mainly scattered in the general Huwei camp and patrol camp. This part of elite, which can also be said to be the core elite of the East Wing troops and horses, is the private soldiers of the generals, and usually no one is willing to hand it over.

    However, as soon as Li Xianghai said this, the eyes of many generals gathered in the big tent were bright. No one objected, but looked forward to Chen lie.

    No one is stupid. After general Dadu announced the overall plan, they knew about the war. At least they couldn''t even drink a mouthful of broth in the first half.

    They had already accepted their fate with a sigh, but listening to Li Xianghai and Su Yuan sing in unison, the smart man soon figured out the taste.

    Chen Hai''s bastard didn''t listen to the order and returned to the camp. Doesn''t he just want to lurk behind the Hexiang army''s defense line in advance and wait to catch the fighter?

    At this time, they handed over their private soldiers and organized them into a elite cavalry battalion with a scale of two or three thousand people. Chen Hai really wants to have any big enemy situation in the Hexiang army defense line. More than 2000 elite cavalry can intersperse seven or eight hundred miles to annihilate and defeat the enemy one day and one night, which is also the only way for them to gain military achievements in the first half of the war.

    Besides, the elite cavalry camp of two or three thousand people can be said to be the reconnaissance troops sent by them. As long as Chen lie leads the generals and the main force of more than 30000 soldiers to garrison the south foot, even if he abides by the military orde
