After Chen Daqing was brought over, Liu Heng asked: "Chen Daqing, why are you so anxious to see me? What happened to the back camp?"
"Tell the boss, Yang Tou has important news from the Central Military Camp. He asked his subordinates to come over overnight and report it to the boss." Chen Daqing straightened up and stood at attention.
"The training is good. It's only been a day and you've looked good." Liu Heng praised, and then asked, "What's the news?"
Chen Daqing replied: "It is said that the battalions are preparing to march westward, and the time is within these few days."
"Is the news accurate?" Liu Heng frowned, and suddenly heard the news that Shi Yunhu was about to break camp and march westward, which caught him off guard.
According to his innermost estimation, it would take fifteen days at the earliest for newly recruited refugees to be qualified for training. If the time was shorter, they would not even be able to memorize the most basic movement essentials, let alone conduct battle formation training.
News of the westward march has now come from the Central Military Camp, indicating that Shi Yunhu will not give him time to train the refugees. Once the camp is set off, the continuous rush will make the refugees who have just started training return to their original appearance.
Chen Daqing showed a hint of hesitation, "This news was told to his subordinates by Chen Wu, who was kicked out of the back camp by the boss."
"Chen Wu?" Liu Heng couldn't remember who this person was, but he must be one of the small leaders of the back camp who was driven away by him.
Chen Daqing continued: "Chen Wu and his subordinates are relatively distant relatives. When it was just dark, he came to win over his subordinates and said that he had defected to Shi Daqi. In order to make his subordinates believe his words, he said these things There is news that the Tianquan Battalion will be leaving."
Liu Heng believed eighty-nine percent of Chen Daqing's words.
The key to being a rogue bandit is the word "rogue". If you stay in one place for a long time, it is easy for the government to find opportunities to eliminate you.
Especially during the day, Zhao Yutu came to Archer Camp to ask for food. Although each camp was short of food, there was no problem if he persisted for a few days. However, Zhao Yutu was anxious to take away the food. Now I think it was to prepare in advance for the departure of the camp.
Chen Xunping, who was beside him, whispered: "The camp is about to leave, and the three hundred refugees we have newly recruited may not have time to continue training. Shi Yunhu's move has cut off our way to expand our strength."
Liu Heng pondered for a while and said to Chen Daqing: "Go back and tell Yang Yuan to keep everything as usual and tighten up on training. At the same time, tell him that if anyone betrays the rear camp, he will be treated as a deserter and will not be merciful."
Chen Daqing shuddered involuntarily when he heard the next eight words. How to deal with deserters? It would be to behead them directly. At the same time, he was glad that he did not accept Chen Wu's solicitation.
"Yes, my subordinates will return to the rear camp immediately and convey the boss's words to Yang Tou." Chen Daqing left the Archer Camp at Liu Heng's signal.
After the people left, Chen Xunping said: "What should we do with the newly recruited refugees? Should we send them back to private camps? Otherwise, we don't know how long it will take once the camp is set off. Food is a huge expense."
"No, keep them all." Liu Heng said, "It's easy to drive away this time, but it won't be so easy to recruit next time. Take them all, not only take them, but also find a way to send the remaining people in the refugee camps to In the rear camp, let them stay with the people in the rear camp."
Chen Xunping looked puzzled and said: "It is understandable that the three hundred newly recruited refugees should stay, but the refugee camp also has hundreds of mouths. Although we have some food now, just the refugee recruits and the newly recruited refugees There are 600 people. There are more than 100 people in the archer camp plus the rear camp. If we include the hundreds of mouths in the upper-class camp, the total is more than a thousand mouths. We have a lot of food in our hands, but it is not enough to feed so many people. ah!"
Liu Heng said with a smile: "As long as we have people, there will always be a way to get food. If these more than a thousand people are ours, not to mention Shi Yunhu, even the government will have to avoid us."
"That's what I say, but it's scary to think about these more than a thousand mouths waiting for food." Chen Xunping said with a worried look, "We'd better discuss this matter with Brother Shu Heng. He has always been in charge of the food. He knows best how much food is left in the entire battalion."
"I will talk to Brother Shu Heng about this." Liu Heng said, "After dinner, you go and arrange the night patrol team. You must ensure that one archer team and two refugee recruit teams patrol at the same time."
Chen Xunping took a bite of the pancake and said vaguely: "Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements. Eat it quickly, the soup is already cold."
After dinner, Liu Heng went to Li Shuheng to discuss the matter of accepting the homeless camp. The two discussed it for most of the night before going back to their resting places.
At dawn the next day, Li Shuheng had already had breakfast prepared early. The refugees and the refugee recruits had breakfast and then led the team to the open space not far outside the Archer Camp for training.
The temperature in the early morning was suitable for training. The refugees began to practice the movements taught yesterday, and the refugee recruits continued to familiarize themselves with the battle formations.
When it was almost noon, the Central Military Camp sent someone to convey Shi Yunhu's order, requiring each battalion to march westward with the main camp tomorrow. The two battalions on the left and right served as the front camp of the army to explore the road, the Central Military Camp walked in the middle, and the rear camp and Archer Camp took the refugee camp with them. Follow up with the team behind.
It is said that a broken family is worth a thousand dollars. Although Shi Yunhu asked to leave with the camp tomorrow, the number of scraps in each camp has added up to a lot, and it is not so easy to clean up, especially since each camp can travel lightly and only bring food. That’s it, everything in the camp will be left to the back camp to clean up.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Heng rushed to train the refugees, and at the same time detached a part of the refugee recruits to take the refugees from the refugee camps to each camp to clean up the various debris left behind.
After all the fuss, it took another three days before we started on the road.
Carts, wheelbarrows, and refugees carrying all kinds of sundries were lined up for several miles.
The rear camp was already nearly twenty miles behind the central camp, and even further away from the two battalions on the left and right who were at the forefront.
In order to facilitate communication between several battalions, Zhao Yutu was sent to the rear camp, and at the same time brought several riders from the cavalry team.
Zhao Yutu came to the rear camp not only for the purpose of contacting the several battalions, but also to monitor the rear camp and the archer camp.
Liu Heng was noncommittal about this. He had brought several battalions of belongings with him this time. He couldn't go any faster if he dragged his feet on this journey. At the end of the day, he had to go more than ten miles at most before setting up camp again.
After walking for three days, Liu Heng took the rear camp and the archer camp to leave the original county, and walked for less than half a month to enter Datong.

In Tianchengwei's command Qianshi Mansion, Huang Qianhu, who was once Huang Qianhu, is now sitting on his Taishi chair, with his legs crossed and a bowl of tea in his hand.
"Steward She, I don't care about this matter. The bandits you mentioned are not within the jurisdiction of Tiancheng Guard. Leading troops to go abroad to suppress bandits requires official documents. The person you should be looking for is the Taiyuan General Soldier, not me. The command of Tiancheng Guard."
"You must take care of this matter, uncle. Most of the family's wealth has been robbed by those gangsters. Now I am so angry that I can't get out of bed. I clutch my chest every day and cry out that it hurts." Butler She cried.
Huang Qianshi frowned and said dissatisfied: "Didn't I say that this matter is under the control of the Taiyuan General Army, and I, the little Tiancheng Guard Commander Qianshi, have no control over you."
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside and said anxiously: "Sir, Madam broke in from the back house."
"What?" Huang Qianshi, who had crossed his legs before, suddenly sat up straight, and the tureen in his hand almost fell to the ground, "What are you doing here, old lady?"
