Time makes people grow old!
Forty years have been generally peaceful. Old commanders have withered and veterans have passed away. The new generation has learned the lessons of the older generation, has a clearer mind and stronger martial arts. However, in the process of growing up, it has lacked the experience of war and national war.
In the next ten years, what comes before developing national strength and improving people's livelihood will still be selecting, cultivating and leading talents.
Nian Run is the only person in the Empress' pocket who has the talent to lead.
For this battle, the other places in the court were suppressed, just to give Nian Run a chance to learn and evolve. He did not want to reach the state of orderly advance and retreat, and strategizing like Great Sima Zhang He, but at least he had to be able to defend and know how to defend. , qualified to become one of the Wu Dynasty.
"Don't worry, my superiors gave me a chance, and my seniors gave me a platform. I won't let you down. I can't continue the Jurchen civil strife in this battle, break the Jurchen's leg bones, and make them kneel for ten years. I won't be the Minister of War." Done!"
Looking at the double-teaming situation that had taken shape in the sand table, Nian Run's face was gloomy and his eyes revealed ruthlessness.
The Wu Dynasty was pragmatic and the royal family was tolerant. It could acquiesce to the existence of smuggling groups and tolerate the emergence of terrifying and totalitarian figures like Zhang He, Xia Dachuan, and Shang Rong. This kind of thing would not even be thought of in other countries.
Needless to say, when these three people appear in any country except Wu Dynasty, the first one who cannot sleep is the royal family.
“Just have confidence!”
Lao Pu nodded and left with his hands behind his back.
…
Dong dong dong...
Late at night, a hurried knock on the door resounded through the courtyard, and the sound of twitching swords came from several surrounding houses.
When the fire was lit in the main room and Fang Fang walked out of the house, the visitor in the courtyard had already been held by the Li brothers and Xiaohu, and the visitor gasped.
"Is there anything you can't tell me tomorrow?"
The moonlight slanted to the west and the east turned white. Fang Fang looked at Shang Zhong who suddenly ran over with a speechless expression.
Shang Zhong was speechless and pushed away Li Yannian's knife, "Aren't I impatient?"
Yes, this point is not suitable for equations, but he has just received the news and must inform it immediately.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Dawn was approaching, it was time to get up, and there was no need to sleep. Fang Fang gave a haha, and with a wave of his hand, he put down the Li brothers and Xiao Hu.
"Nian Run is crazy!"
"Three days ago, all the troops on the Yuyang defense line came out. Only the government soldiers were left at the various checkpoints. All the regular soldiers left the customs and disappeared without a trace. Niu Zhanggang, the commander of the North Palace, has led 3,000 people to Yuyang!"
Shang Zhong's breath has not calmed down yet, and he started to pant again after speaking.
Hearing this, Fang Fang frowned slightly, "How do you know?"
Yuyang is still a little far away from Shangqu. Through the channel of the Criminal Investigation Department, the fastest information Fang Fang can see was three days ago. Shang Zhong stayed in Qinggu Tun all day long and didn't hear that he had any plans. How could he? Will you get the news earlier?
"Isn't Wu Qiong escorting money and silver in Shangqu? He saw Niu Zhang going to the southeast with his own eyes. Not to mention us, now the whole Shangqu knows about it!" Shang Zhong explained quickly.
"Okay, as long as you know this, go to bed first and try to comfort yourself in the past few days. The war is about to end!"
Something similar happened. Feeling sleepy, Fang Fang turned around and went back to his room to make up for the payment.
Nian Run, that smart guy, even though some people often scolded him in front of Fang Fang, an incompetent person can't become Minister of the Ministry of War.
He knows a little more about equations than the average person, so he naturally understands what Nian Run is doing?
When it came time for the showdown, even though the actions were somewhat confusing, and the Jurchens couldn't make any changes due to the setbacks in space and time.
"gentlemen!"
Looking at Equation who opened the door and entered the room with a nonchalant expression, Shang Zhong quickly took it in his mouth.
"What else?"
"I know you must know something, but we still have to be on guard. There is a lot of money in the village now. The ministries may not take action, but they can't stand up to the Qinke people and the Black Wind Bandits. These people suffered big losses before, and now Beidian The cavalry is transferred eastward, and the central gate of the thousands-mile border is wide open. If we don't do anything, the caravan in Tunzhong may be attacked." Shang Zhong did not ask what Fang Fang knew, but just reminded him.
There are only a limited number of soldiers and horses in the Beidian patrol camp. Niu Zhang rushed towards Yuyang. He would definitely not be alone. He must go all the way to collect all the way. Only in this way can Niu Zhang help Yuyang, otherwise he would be unlucky and bump into A few Jurchen cavalry, wouldn't he, the commander of the North Palace, give them away?
When the patrol troops and horses are taken away, who will guard the border and who will patrol it?
The soldiers and horses who usually look for the camp are nowhere to be seen. Doesn't it mean that these people are not doing anything, and it doesn't mean that no one pays attention to the soldiers and horses patrolling the camp?
According to the mechanism, if there is any abnormal movement at the border, the patrol camp will respond within half a day at the fastest, and detect it within two days at the slowest. The tranquility in the Northland now is due to this mechanism that is running all the time.
Once a vacancy occurs, it will take at most four or five days for the herdsmen near the border to notice it. After five or six days, the horse bandits on the grassland will try to break into the Wu Dynasty.
"This is really a problem." Fang Fang turned around and said, "Which of you understands the mechanism of camp patrol?"
Hearing this, the Li brothers and Shang Zhong looked at each other. They knew how the North Hall was run, but they still didn't know the system of patrolling the camp. This was not a secret, but it was because they had never patrolled and had no experience.
"I understand!" Xiaohu raised his hand, "My father, my clan brother, was once a member of the Beidian patrol camp. My dream since childhood was to become a member of the Beidian patrol camp. However, for more than ten years, I have been I haven’t operated it yet, I just know that the patrol camp is currently scheduled. If you know the details, you may have to ask Xia Heng.”
"Xia Heng? What does he know?" Shang Zhong asked in confusion.
"Didn't he often lead people deep into the grassland before? The patrol not only prevents people from entering the country, but also records the teams leaving the country. Otherwise, do you think that Xia Heng's successful return every time is just luck?" Xiaohu asked.
"Xiaohu, you and Xia Heng should discuss it. If there are no camp patrols within three hundred miles, you should disguise yourself first and make it look like it. Shang Zhong, please contact the Municipal Household Division and ask them what notification they have. Yannian You go back to Shangqu and wait for all kinds of news. Yanting, you combine the available people to escort the merchants who need to leave and ensure that the merchants in the valley will not be affected."
Businessmen love money, and they cherish their own lives even more. A place that is precarious will not attract people.
…
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Niu Zhang led the people away and left everything that was left in Song Hai's hands. He looked through the notice sent by Nian Run again. Song Hai was completely confused. Except that he read that Nian Run was going to have a big fight, there was no other information. He didn't even notice it.
"You bastard, this is what happens when you are a deputy. It's best not to get into trouble. If something happens, you'll be in trouble!" Song Hai threw the report aside with a headache.
The higher-ranking officials killed people, Niu Zhang took away 3,000 people, leaving 800 miles in the direction of 2,000 miles and became a no-man's land. He had to wait and deceive him.
