It only took the people from the Foreign Intelligence Agency a few days to send the news back to Xinpingbao that Tumut would send troops to the Tiger Flag.
The Tiger Flag is like a huge machine. After receiving the news, all parts of the machine began to operate.
"Sir, according to your instructions, the news has been sent to several military camps on the grassland." Zhao Wu stood next to Liu Heng and whispered.
Liu Heng nodded and said immediately: "Have you sent the things prepared for Xuanfu and Yulin?"
"It has been sent, Mr. Zhao personally escorted it." Zhao Wu said.
Liu Heng stood up and faced the map of Monan Mongolia on the wall. While looking at it, he said: "Everything that needs to be prepared is almost ready. The rest depends on whether our several military camps can hold it." .”
"Don't worry, sir. With the built fortress as a support, we will definitely be able to defend it." Zhao Wu said with confidence.
Liu Heng put his upper body in front of the map in front of him, looked at a certain place on it, and said, "I'm not worried about the forts that have been built. What worries me is the two forts that are under construction."
His eyes fell on the two half-colored circles on the map.
These two circles represent the forts under construction, and are also the main places where several military camps are guarded. Further up, there are some circles without the color of the picture, which represent the locations where the forts need to be built in the future.
"Zhao Wu?" Liu Heng turned around.
"My subordinate is here." Zhao Wu took a step forward and stood straight in front of Liu Heng.
Liu Heng said: "Jia Liu, who was stationed at Lingqiu, sent an order to tell him that the supply troops no longer need to be sent to the grasslands. From now on, his second combat soldier camp will train the supply camps."
"Yes." Zhao Wu agreed, turned around and exited the office room.
Liu Heng turned around and continued to look at the map of Monan Mongolia on the wall.
Ever since he received the news that Shitu was recruiting soldiers on the grassland, he knew that the battle with Tumut Mongolia was finally coming.
There were footsteps outside the office.
"I want to see you, sir." Yang Yuan's voice came from outside the house.
Liu Heng turned around and said to the sentry guarding the door: "Let him come in!"
Yang Yuan walked in from outside the house.
"Is there any new news from the Foreign Intelligence Agency?" Liu Heng asked Yang Yuan who had just entered the room.
Yang Yuan said: "I just received the news that Wang Xinyi did not return to the capital. He stayed in Taiyuan. He is probably waiting for the Mongols to invade the border so that he can report to the court. Sir, please see if you want my subordinates to kill him."
When he said this, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he did not take Wang Xinyi's official status seriously at all.
Liu Heng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this person. As long as a few general soldiers in the border town don't report on the grassland, he is a censor who is about to return to Beijing to report on his duties. No one will believe his words."
"This Wang Xinyi is just a toad now. If he doesn't bite, he will attack others." Yang Yuan scolded.
Hearing this, Liu Heng smiled and immediately asked: "How is the Fan family doing?"
"After Fan Yongdou died, his cousin Fan Yongcheng took over the Fan family. Now he is jumping up and down, trying to recruit others to deal with our Tiger Flag. Shortly after Fan Yongdou was buried, he went to Yanghewei to see Wang Xinyi with generous gifts. "Yang Yuan said.
Although the spy who killed Fan Yongdou has returned to Datong, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau still has spies in Zhangjiakou and the Fan family, always keeping an eye on the Fan family's movements.
Liu Heng frowned slightly and said: "The battle with the Mongols is imminent, and I don't have the energy to take care of this Fan Yongcheng for the time being. Your Foreign Intelligence Bureau will watch and deal with it!"
"Yes, I will arrange it when I get back." Yang Yuan agreed.
………………
On the grassland, several military camps of the Tiger Character Banner on the grassland received news that they were going to fight the Mongols.
The gate of the built fort is not opened every day, and people are arranged to be on duty at all times of the day.
In order to ensure the combat power in each fort, the fifth combat soldier battalion was divided into several teams. Larger forts were stationed by combat soldier groups and equipped with a certain number of baggage troops.
A small pier houses a squadron of soldiers or two squads of soldiers, and also cooperates with some of the heavy troops to guard the pier.
The entire Fifth Soldier Battalion was dispersed into various forts.
In the two forts under construction, two thousand-man teams from the First Soldier Camp, the Fourth Soldier Camp, the Seventh Soldier Camp, and the Sixth Soldier Battalion were conducting the battle. Guard.
Tan Zaiwang's cuirassiers would patrol farther away every day to prevent being caught off guard by a sudden attack by the Mongolian army.
"Yingzheng, Wang Yingzheng is here?" Chen Xunping happened to be studying the map with Zhang Sancha and several other staff members, and the soldiers below came in to report.
Chen Xunping raised his head, frowned, and said, "Which Wang Yingzheng is right?"
The fourth combat soldier's main camp is Yingzheng Wang Yuncheng, and the fifth combat soldier's main camp is Zheng Wang Lin. Both of them are Wang Yingzheng.
The soldier said: "It's Wang Yingzheng from the Fourth Soldier Camp. He's outside our camp."
"It turns out that Lao Wang is here." Chen Xunping straightened up and said to the soldier, "Go and bring the people directly to the big tent. Just say that I am busy studying how to deal with the Mongols."
"Yes." The soldier agreed, turned around and exited the tent.
Zhang Sancha, standing next to Chen Xunping, said: "Wang Yuncheng used to be Yingzheng's deputy. If he comes here at this time, he is most likely to come to Yingzheng to discuss dealing with the Mongols."
"He is your old superior, and now you are on an equal footing with him." Chen Xunping said with a smile.
Tiger Character Banner first established three brigades. Chen Xunping was the captain of the first brigade, Wang Yuncheng was the deputy captain, and at that time Zhang Sancha was just a small captain under the first brigade.
"Hehe." Zhang Sancha chuckled.
The former old superior was now on the same level as him, so he was inevitably a little secretly proud.
Not long after, a soldier brought Wang Yuncheng to the big tent.
"Chen Yingzheng." When Wang Yuncheng saw Chen Xunping, he bowed first.
Chen Xunping returned the greeting and then said: "Okay, we are all acquaintances, come sit down and discuss how to deal with the Mongolian army."
"I came here this time to discuss this matter with the two Yingzhengs." Wang Yuncheng came closer and said to Chen Xunping and Zhang Sancha with a smile on his face.
The map is spread out on the table.
It marks the location of the Dunbao and the locations of Tumut's pastures.
Chen Xunping looked at Zhang Sancha and said, "Tell Wang Yingzheng what you thought before."
Zhang Sancha was not polite. He pointed directly at the pastures where the Tumut tribes were located on the map and said: "Bu Shitu wants to recruit soldiers from each tribe, and they will definitely gather near Qingcheng in the end. The tribes are scattered everywhere, so it takes a certain amount of time to gather them." time, which is why the Mongolian army did not attack us after so many days."
The pastures of various tribes in the grassland are scattered everywhere. Although the decree of Bushitu has been issued to each tribe, it will take a lot of time to get all the tribes to gather together. Moreover, for this kind of war, each tribe needs to bring herdsmen from the tribe with them. Coming together with the herd means less time is wasted.
