Liu Heng and the people around him only knew that the imperial court had issued a decree for Datong to suppress the rebellion. They did not know which day Datong troops would send troops to Lingqiu.
After all, Zhang Huai had just dispatched troops from Datong, and the news had not spread so quickly.
"My subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on them. Once there is any movement at the General Military Mansion, news will come back immediately." Yang Yuan said.
It is the responsibility of the Foreign Intelligence Service to monitor the governor and the commander-in-chief of Datong.
The Foreign Intelligence Bureau has planted many spies in Datong City, including the governor's yamen and the General Military Mansion. As the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, all yamen in Datong are under his supervision.
No matter what happens in the Governor's Yamen and the General Military Mansion, it cannot escape the eyes of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
At this moment, someone outside the house shouted: "Urgent report from Datong!"
As the words fell, Zhao Wu walked in with a strong young man covered in sweat.
Everyone in the meeting hall focused their attention on the man who had just entered.
I heard the man panting and said: "Master, Datong is reporting urgently. Commander-in-Chief Zhang Huai and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Kaiyang have led a group of generals to march to Lingqiu. They are all servants of each general's family. There are a large number of them. Thousands, it can take at most two days to reach Lingqiu."
The elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are the servants of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is equipped with armor and their monthly salary is sufficient. However, these servants of the soldiers are raised by the generals themselves and have little to do with the imperial court. Moreover, these servants of the soldiers only Recognize your own general as your master.
"Not long after the imperial decree came down, Zhang Huai was eager to send troops against us. I had only heard about the cold nature of officials before, but this time I experienced it myself." Zhao Yutu said with a sarcastic look on his face.
Jia Liu on the side said: "In the eyes of officials like them, our Tiger Flag is just a tool to make money for them. Now that the court wants to deal with us, they will naturally abandon us and keep their black hat."
"I can only say that these officials are too shameless. They accepted so many benefits from our Tiger Flag. Even if they didn't inform us in advance, at least they shouldn't have been so eager to send troops." Huang Chong said bitterly.
Obviously he was dissatisfied with the Datong governor and the commander-in-chief's approach of killing the donkey.
Liu Heng was not as angry as others.
The most shameless people from ancient times to the present are politicians. Although he was a little surprised that Datong was so eager to send troops to Lingqiu to quell the rebellion, it was also reasonable.
Zhao Wu took the man who sent the urgent report down.
However, not long after they left, they heard someone outside shouting: "Urgent report, urgent report from Datong!"
The visitor brought the same news as the man before, about Datong's troops sent to Lingqiu.
"Urgent report! Urgent report from Datong!"
The cry of emergency came again from outside.
It was urgent news three times in a row, and no one in the meeting hall showed any signs of surprise.
For important news like Datong's dispatch of troops to Lingqiu, the most urgent three consecutive reports will naturally be used to deliver the news.
The three urgent reports were sent back to Lingqiu via different routes, trying to avoid interception of the news as much as possible.
Liu Heng looked at the commanders of the fifth and sixth soldier camps and said, "You two should return to your respective soldier camps immediately and be ready to go to the battlefield at any time."
"yes."
The fourth and fifth battle barracks stood up and left the meeting hall. TV first release
There are only two words to send troops, but it is not that simple. It requires mobilization before the war, preparing food and grass, etc., all of which take time.
Liu Heng turned to look at Jia Liu and said: "The next defense will be handed over to your Second Soldier Battalion. The safety of every place must be ensured. If anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos, you are allowed to execute them yourself."
"Yes, I understand." Jia Liu agreed, and then asked, "Should Lingqiu County send soldiers to take over?"
"No need." Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "As long as we are willing, we can take Lingqiu County at any time, but this place is not of much use to us. You only need to guard Xujiazhuang, Dongshan Iron Station, and Hutou Village Just a few places like Zhaojiayu will do."
Jia Liu nodded heavily.
Liu Heng said: "Okay, you have a lot to do, go back and prepare."
Jia Liu retreated from the meeting hall.
Everyone else in the meeting hall also left one after another, and in the end only Zhao Yutu and Yang Yuan stayed.
Liu Heng picked up the teapot on the table, took a sip of water, and then said: "The Foreign Intelligence Agency needs to keep an eye on the soldiers and horses in the heart and find out the route they took to Lingqiu. I will hurt them in this battle." , let the court know that Datong’s troops and horses alone are no match for our Tiger Flag."
As he spoke, he slapped his hand on the table.
"My subordinates are going to do it now and ensure that Zhang Huai's daily marching route is sent back." Yang Yuan promised, patting his chest.
Liu Heng nodded.
It is not difficult to find out the marching route of the army. He believes that the people from the Foreign Intelligence Agency can do a good job.
After Yang Yuan left, Zhao Yutu said: "Master, Jia Liu proposed to capture Lingqiu County before. My subordinates think it makes sense. We have the county as a foundation. I believe many people will join us."
In his mind, since he wanted to rebel, he had to make a loud noise. Nothing could demonstrate the momentum of the Tiger Flag more than attacking the next county seat.
"The county seat is of no use to us, it can only be a drag." Liu Heng looked at Zhao Yutu and said, "Whether Lingqiu County is in our hands or not, it is still under our control. As for those who came because we took the county seat, Most of the people who defect to us are speculators, and accepting these people will do more harm than good to the Tiger Flag."
"We have too few scholars in Tiger Character Banner. It will be good for our Tiger Character Banner to recruit more scholars." Zhao Yutu advised.
As a scholar, he hopes that more scholars will join the Tiger Character Banner.
After hearing this, Liu Heng smiled lightly and said: "There are a few scholars who are willing to join a group of bandits. Even if there are some who are willing to join, they are all people who want to point out the country and make nonsense. How can the truly capable scholars follow us?" Let’s rebel together.”
Zhao Yu choked up and said nonchalantly: "There should still be some!"
He didn't even have confidence in what he said.
