The man sent by Fan Yongdou led the way on horseback. Wo Lunkuo left Bansheng City with nearly two hundred cavalry and some armored soldiers under the Su Nang Tent.
Suddenly, so many armored riders left Bansheng City, which naturally attracted the attention of the secret spies who planted the tiger-character flag in Bansheng City. The news reached Huang Hong that day.
After getting this news, Huang Hong left Qingcheng and took several of his men to Daheihe.
After entering Dunbao, he went straight to Li Shuheng's office.
"Deputy Director, there is something going on in Bansheng City. Su Nang sent his personal guard general Wo Lunkuo, leading 200 cavalry, to leave Bansheng City and go south with a Han."
Li Shuheng put his hands on the table and said, "Do you suspect that Fan Ji's caravan has arrived on the grassland?"
The news that Sun Ji, controlled by Fan Yongdou, was buying grain, iron and other supplies in Datong has long been spread to the grassland. People on the grassland with the Tiger Flag also know that Fan Ji's caravan will come to the grassland sooner or later to do business.
Huang Hong nodded and said, "It should be."
"Wu Bin!" Li Shuheng shouted outside the door.
After he finished speaking, a young and strong man walked in from outside the house, saluted Li Shuheng and said, "My subordinate is here."
Li Shuheng said: "Go and find Zhang Yingzheng and Ma Yingzheng."
"Yes." Wu Bin agreed, turned around and retreated.
Zhang Hong, as the commander of the third army camp and the guard of the Dunbao, was inside the fort.
Not long after, he rushed to Li Shuheng's office alone.
The armored cavalry battalion's camp was outside the fort. Looking for Ma Yunjiu required leaving the fort, so when Ma Yunjiu came to Li Shuheng's office, everyone was already there.
"My subordinates see the deputy director." Ma Yunjiu saluted Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng nodded and said immediately: "I have called you both here this time because there is something I want you two to do."
Ma Yunjiu and Zhang Hong in the office looked at Li Shuheng at the same time.
The two of them still didn't know that Wo Lunkuo led two hundred armored cavalry to leave Bansheng City.
Li Shuheng continued: "The Foreign Intelligence Agency has just received the news. Su Nang sent his personal guard general Wo Lunkuo to the south with 200 cavalry. There was also a Ming national among the people accompanying him."
"Fan Ji's caravan came to the grassland?" Zhang Hong spoke first.
He knew that Fan Yongdou and Su Nang had always been in collusion and had always been interested in their Tiger Flag business.
Huang Hong on the side said: "Although there is no definite news that Fan Ji's caravan came to the grassland, Su Nang promised Fan Yongdou that as long as the Fan family's caravan comes to the grassland, he will send his armored cavalry to escort them."
Su Nang promised Fan Yongdou to send armored cavalry to protect Fan Ji's caravan. Many people on the grassland knew about it, and the Tiger Character Banner naturally got the news.
Ma Yunjiu nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that Fan Yongdou sent the caravan most likely."
"But there is no news from Datong yet." Zhang Hong reminded, "In the past, we only took action after the news from Datong was sent."
When their tiger-character banners plundered the Fan family's caravan on the grassland, they always passed on information through people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and only took action after receiving the exact news from Datong.
Li Shuheng thought for a while and said: "If Fan Yongdou's caravan really comes to the grassland, we will never allow his caravan to come to Bansheng City smoothly. Although we are not completely sure, we are not unable to take action."
Zhang Hong looked at Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng continued: "We only took action after receiving news from Datong in the past because our strength on the grassland was still very weak at that time. If the team sent out could not accurately find Fan Ji's caravan, it would not be able to send out a second team. The two teams are different now. There are not only thousands of soldiers from the Third Soldier Battalion here in Daheihe, but also hundreds of cavalry from the Armored Cavalry Battalion. Even if one team is defeated, we still have the ability to send out the third team. Two teams.”
"The deputy director is right," Huang Hong said, "I am 90% sure that Wo Lunkuo and his two hundred cavalry went to pick up Fan Ji's caravan."
It is almost 90% certain that Fan Yongdou's caravan has arrived on the grassland.
Ma Yunjiu and Zhang Hong looked at each other.
Immediately, the two men took a step forward at the same time, clasped their fists, and said, "My subordinates are willing to send troops to rob Fan Ji's caravan."
Seeing that the two battalions in front of him were agreeing to send troops, Li Shuheng said: "This time Wo Lunkuo has brought nearly two hundred cavalry. Their strength cannot be underestimated. It is best to send a cavalry brigade to the armored cavalry battalion."
"Yes." Ma Yunjiu said, "My subordinates will send out the First Cavalry Brigade. Many of the cavalry in this cavalry brigade were former cuirassiers, so there is no problem with their strength."
Li Shuheng nodded, turned to look at Zhang Hong, and said: "Your warrior camp will also send out a warrior brigade. If the armored cavalry battalion fails, you will stop Fan Ji's caravan halfway and decide. People from the Fan family are not allowed to send goods to Bansheng City."
"I understand." Zhang Hong agreed.
Li Shuheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, go get ready!"
"yes."
Ma Yunjiu and Zhang Hong agreed at the same time and exited the office together.
Only Li Shuheng and Huang Hong were left in the office room.
I heard Li Shuheng say: "We will continue to inquire about the news about Fan Ji's caravan. At the same time, we will send people to Datong to confirm the news. We must confirm whether Fan Ji's caravan has come to the grassland."
"I understand." Huang Hong nodded in agreement.
This was originally a matter for his Foreign Affairs Bureau. Even if Li Shuheng didn't say anything, he would investigate it.
"Go and do your work too!" Li Shuheng waved his hand towards Huang Hong.
Huang Hong bowed and left the office.
After everyone left, Wu Bin walked in from outside, picked up the iron kettle on the stove, walked to the table, and poured some hot water into the teapot on the table.
After doing all this, he put the iron kettle back on the stove and backed out again.
Zhang Hong and Ma Yunjiu came out of the office and walked to the camp of the soldiers camp. Zhang Hong said: "I sent Pan Yi's brigade to work with you, Ma Yingzheng. He is also familiar with your subordinate Tan Zaiwang. , it’s also convenient to cooperate with.”
Ma Yunjiu, who was walking aside, said: "The cavalry in the cavalry battalion is very fast. They must not go with your troop group, otherwise it will slow down the cavalry's speed."
"I know." Zhang Hong said, "When your cavalry finds Fan Ji's caravan, you just need to send someone to pass the news to Pan Yi and the others."
Ma Yunjiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as our armored cavalry battalion takes action, your troops will no longer be involved."
With that said, he took off the reins from the horse post and got on the horse.
Zhang Hong raised his head and looked at Ma Yunjiu, and said with a smile: "Then the people in your cavalry team must not give me a chance to fight in the cavalry team."
"Don't worry, there won't be a chance for your troops to take action. Let's go."
Ma Yunjiu knocked the horse's belly and urged the horse to gallop away.
Zhang Hong looked at Ma Yunjiu's leaving figure, shook his head, smiled, and shouted to the patrol team that just passed by: "Send someone to the school grounds to find Pan Yi."
The captain of the patrol team agreed, handed the team over to his deputy and continued to lead the others on patrol, while he ran towards the school grounds.
