A quick ride came to Xujiazhuang and went straight into Zhuangzi.

Yang Yuan came to the signing room and said, "Master, there is news from Datong."

Liu Heng, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at the account book in his hand and asked without raising his head: "What's the news?"

"The governor's yamen has found the body of the general who ruled the country, and Xu Tong and Lin Changshi of the Prince's Mansion broke up on bad terms. The memorial to impeach Xu Tong has been sent to the capital," Yang Yuan said. .

Liu Heng raised his head and looked at Yang Yuan, and said: "Arrange for our people to secretly protect the person who is delivering the letter to the Prince's Palace. Don't let Xu Tong jump over the wall and destroy the memorial sent to the capital by the Prince's Palace."

"My subordinates have arranged manpower to ensure that the people from the Prince's Palace can enter Beijing smoothly."

Liu Heng nodded and said: "You also need to inform our people in the capital and let them spread the news that the Zhenguo general was killed. In this way, those who are interested in the position of governor of Datong will naturally Secretly fueling the flames.”

"Yes, I will ask someone to inform Wang Zi and others in Beijing." Yang Yuan nodded in agreement, and then said, "Eunuch Wei, do you want to give me a generous gift?"

"No need." Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "There is no need to ask Wei Zhongxian to come forward in this matter. As long as the news of the murder of General Zhenguo is spread, there will naturally be no shortage of people who will add insult to injury."

Yang Yuan said: "Then I will arrange for someone to deliver the letter to Beijing."

Liu Heng nodded.

Yang Yuan retreated from the signing room.

Just as he left the security room, he met Chen Xunping and Jia Liu, who came to the security room.

He knew that these two people came for the Thousand Soldiers' camp expansion. As the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, he never interfered with the affairs of the Soldiers, so he just nodded to the two people and left. go.

Chen Xunping looked at Yang Yuan's leaving figure and said with dissatisfaction: "What does this guy mean? He has been missing all day, and now he leaves without even saying hello when he sees us."

Jia Liu beside him said with a smile: "Don't complain. I guess he is also concerned about our identities and is afraid of causing misunderstanding."

"What's the misunderstanding?" Chen Xunping asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Jia Liu hesitated for a moment and explained: "He is the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of our Tiger Banner. He is in charge of all the secret spies of the Tiger Banner, and we command the Tiger Banner's combat troops. He is afraid of leaving with us." Too close may lead to misunderstanding.”

"Are you saying that the boss misunderstood that we were colluding with Yang Yuan?" Chen Xunping frowned and said, "We are all old people who escaped from Liaodong together. Could it be that the boss still doubts us?"

Hearing this, Jia Liu shook his head slightly and said: "Would the boss be suspicious? We should all avoid this and try to have less contact with Yang Yuan. Now the Tiger Character Flag is no longer what it was when we first arrived in Lingqiu. Several large camps have been established, with more than 20,000 soldiers alone, which is already more than the total number of soldiers in a town."

"Who would have thought that in just a few years, the Tiger Character Flag would have such a big situation." Chen Xunping said with emotion.

Jia Liu said with a smile: "The tiger character flag is what it is today, thanks to the great master. If it weren't for the great master, we would have died under the encirclement and suppression by the army when we passed Tianchengwei."

"Let's go and see the boss together." Chen Xunping greeted.

The two people walked towards the signing room.

When we arrived at the door of the custody room, there were soldiers guarding the door.

Chen Xunping said to the guard in front of the door: "Go in and tell us that Captain Jia and I want to see the boss."

"Two captains, wait a moment, my subordinates will go in and report." After saying that, the guard turned and walked into the signing room.

After a short time, he walked out of the signing room and said to the two of them: "Two captains, please come in!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

The two people stepped into the signing room.

"Subordinates, please see the boss."

The two of them raised their right arms across their chests at the same time and made a tiger-shaped flag salute.

Liu Heng looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile: "I was still thinking about when you would come over."

Could it be that "the boss has already guessed that we are coming?" Chen Xunping said in surprise.

Liu Heng nodded and said: "It is such a big event that the Thousand-Man Team is expanding into a large camp. As the captains of the First Thousand-Man Team and the Second Thousand-Man Team, how could you not come to see me?"

"One thousand-man team has been expanded into three thousand-man teams, and there is also a baggage team. Now we can barely set up a shelf, and the shortage of soldiers is severe." Chen Xunping complained.

Jia Liu on the side nodded in agreement.

Liu Heng said: "In the future, the soldiers of the camp will be replenished first from the baggage train."

"That's not enough!" Chen Xunping said, "The baggage team only has 4,000 people. If I give them all to this camp, it will be enough and I can be richer, but what about the other camps?"

Liu Heng shook his head and said: "You definitely can't keep all the people in the baggage team, and some of the other camps will also have to be separated."

"The boss, in the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to give priority to replenishing the first battalion and his second battalion. Now the third battalion is in the grassland and cannot replenish soldiers for the time being. The remaining battalions have not been set up yet. If you put on airs, there’s no need to add anything for the time being.”

"Yes, this method is good." Chen Xunping nodded in agreement.

The four thousand men from the baggage team supplemented the two large battalions respectively. Although the two large battalions could not be filled to capacity, they could still add nearly two thousand soldiers to the two large battalions.

"I can't give them all to you." Liu Heng said, "Zhang Sancha still needs to keep at least 500 heavy troops, and the skeletons of officers at all levels in the heavy troops must also be left behind to continue to train new heavy troops."

Hearing this, Chen Xunping felt happy.

At first he wanted to be the captain of the baggage corps, but now it seems that not long after the baggage corps was established, Zhang Sancha, the baggage corps, was divided among several large battalions. The position of captain of the baggage corps was not as good as that of his thousand-man team. The captain's position is secure.

Jia Liu said: "Three thousand and five hundred heavy troops are a bit too small. If they are divided into the two camps of Captain Chen and I, our two camps can also have one thousand troops and one more." Support the various brigades."

Liu Heng waved his hand and said: "The three thousand five hundred heavy troops cannot be given to your two camps. In addition to Zhang Hong's third battalion, the remaining three battalions will also have to take 700 heavy troops each."

"So we can only get 700 heavy troops!" Chen Xunping looked bitter.

After the camp was established, there were only more than 700 additional soldiers, not even a thousand-man team.

"I can only replenish you with seven hundred troops." Liu Heng nodded.

Chen Xunping said with a bitter face: "This is too little. It is better to expand the first and second battalions first. As for the fourth, fifth and sixth battalions, we can not expand them for the time being and wait for the war." If we have enough troops, it won’t be too late to expand.”

Liu Heng ignored his words and said, "The three major camps, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 4 and No. 6, also need the backbone of your two major camps to help set up the framework for these three major camps."

When the two men heard that they wanted to take away some of the officers from their hands to build an excuse for the other three camps, their faces suddenly fell.
