The station of the Beibei army became a camp for the Tiger Flag, and tents were set up one after another.

Wang Yuncheng took the remaining team and artillery team to the new camp.

Along with them came the Beilu heads pickled in lime.

Wang Yuncheng, who had just arrived at the camp, was approached by Chen Xunping.

When he saw Chen Xunping, he found that Lao Wu was also in the tent.

"Sit." Chen Xunping pointed to the bench next to him.

Wang Yuncheng walked to the bench, lifted up his hem, sat down, and asked, "Why are you calling me in such a hurry? Could it be that Su Nang is unwilling to give in and wants to fight us again?"

He cleaned the battlefield. Although many Northerners were killed in this battle, there were also many who escaped. In addition to the Mongols who fled in disarray, there were nearly two thousand horsemen who followed Su Nang back to the grassland alone. .

As long as Su Nang, the coach, is still there, once he gathers the remaining soldiers, he can still fight against their tiger-shaped flag army.

Chen Xunping sneered and said, "If Su Nang still dares to come, I will take care of him as well."

"Su Nang has just suffered a big defeat. I'm afraid he has no intention of fighting anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken away the herds and only fled back to the grassland with the cavalry following him." Lao Wu next to him said with a smile.

Chen Xunping said angrily: "It's a pity that Su Nang was not caught in this battle and allowed this guy to escape."

As he spoke, a look of regret appeared on his face.

"I think it doesn't matter whether we can catch the pod in this battle. What's important is that our Tiger Flag can fight the Beibei army in the field and win easily. This is much more important than grabbing a pod." Wang Yuncheng said.

Lao Wu beside him nodded and said in agreement: "Wang Yingzheng is right. This battle has given us confidence in raising the tiger-character flag and made a good start for our future march north to the grassland."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Chen Xunping said, "This time we seized a lot of herds from Su Nang. Let's discuss how to deal with these herds."

Wang Yuncheng thought for a while and said: "I saw when I came here that there are many herds of cattle and sheep, among which the sheep are the largest. Our army certainly cannot eat so much beef and mutton, and it is troublesome to carry it. It is better to leave some of it as food and grass." , and send the rest back to Lingqiu."

"I agree with Wang Yingzheng's decision." Lao Wu spoke in support.

Chen Xunping said with a smile: "Then let's decide, arrange a team of people to send these cattle and sheep back to Lingqiu, and leave this matter to you, Wang Yingzheng."

"Okay." Wang Yuncheng nodded without refusing.

Chen Xunping continued: "We have captured so many northern captive heads, which are of no use to our Tiger-Character Banner, but to the officials of Datong Prefecture it is a great achievement and something that cannot be bought with money, so I am prepared to Go to Xinpingbao and meet Li Huaixin."

"It's better for me to go!" Wang Yuncheng said, "You are the general of the army and it is not appropriate to leave the camp. Moreover, we have made such a big fuss this time. I don't know what the government's attitude will be. If something happens to you after you go, what will happen? Affects the morale of the army.”

"I agree with Wang Yingzheng's opinion." Lao Wu said, "Don't forget, the government has sent a large army towards Xinpingbao."

Chen Xunping hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, you can go, but you'd better not enter Xinping Fort. Just talk to Li Huaixin outside the city and feel his attitude towards our Tiger Flag first."

"Okay, I'll go meet this Li Huaixin soon." Wang Yuncheng said with a smile.

Li Huaixin was one of the first officials to cooperate with their Tiger-Character Banner, and the fact that their Tiger-Character Banner made such a big fuss this time could not be concealed from the government, so he wanted to know what the government's attitude towards the Tiger-Character Flag was.

Chen Xunping picked up the teapot on the side and took a sip of water. He turned to look at Lao Wu and said, "Although the sacks have returned to the grassland, the Ming army is coming in this direction. We still need the cuirassiers to keep an eye on the Ming army. We must ensure that news of the enemy troops is sent back to the camp at any time.”

"I have sent people to keep an eye on the Ming Army. As long as there is any movement from the Ming Army, news will come back." Lao Wu said.

Chen Xunping nodded and said immediately: "Before the arrival of the Ming army, I decided to camp here to rest and recuperate. What do you think?"

"I have no objection." Wang Yuncheng shook his head slightly and said immediately, "In front of this area is Xinping Fort and in the back is the grassland. There is no place more suitable for setting up camp than here."

"I have no objection either." Lao Wu also agreed to camp the army on this grassland.

At this moment, a fast horse came outside the big tent, and a man jumped off the horse.

"I want to see the commander of the camp." The man said to the soldiers guarding outside the tent.

Chen Xunping rushed outside and said, "Let him come in."

After he finished speaking, a muscular man walked in from outside the tent.

"I have seen the two campers, captain." The visitor saluted Chen Xunping, Wang Yuncheng and Lao Wu.

"No need to be polite." Chen Xunping said, "Is there any news about those people in Su Nang?"

The man said: "When we return to Yingzheng, Su Nang led the defeated army to flee north. They have escaped fifty miles away and have no intention of stopping and setting up camp. Our captain arranged for his subordinates to come back and report to Yingzheng first."

Wang Yuncheng on the side said thoughtfully: "It seems that Su Nang has lost his courage and is preparing to escape back to his hometown."

"Su Nang lost thousands of people in this battle. Even if he is Tumote's Taiji, it will be enough for him." Lao Wu said with a smile.

Chen Xunping said to the man who came back to deliver the message: "Okay, you go back and rest first. I will send someone to inform your captain that they are returning to the camp."

"Yes." The other party agreed, turned around and retreated from the tent.

Wang Yuncheng stood up and said, "It's already past noon. I'll go to Xinping Fort first to see if Li Huaixin has too many flags on our tiger flag."

Chen Xunping nodded and said, "That's fine, you can go. Remember to bring more people with you."

Wang Yuncheng left the tent.

Teams of soldiers moved back and forth in the camp, and patrol teams patrolled inside and outside the camp.

Wang Yuncheng led a group of cuirassiers and rode towards the camp gate.

There was a fence blocking the camp gate in front of the camp. When the soldiers on guard saw that Wang Yuncheng was leading a group of cavalry to leave the camp, they hurriedly moved the fence in front.

"Hey!" Wang Yuncheng pulled the reins, stopped in front of the camp gate, pointed forward with his hand, and asked, "Who are these people?"

A team of soldiers outside the camp gate escorted a group of prisoners dressed in rags and passed by the camp gate.

A captain from the war team ran over, stood in front of Wang Yuncheng's horse, raised his right hand across his chest, saluted, and said: "Report to the camp, these are prisoners who have just been captured and are about to be taken away for execution."

"Prisoners?" Wang Yuncheng frowned and asked, "I think these people are all Han people, and none of them are Mongolians. How come they are prisoners?"
