Su Nang looked at Kankantada aside.
These two people were sent out by Kankantada, so it was natural for Kankantada to question them.
At this time, Kankantada did not shirk. He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Why are you two back? Didn't I ask you to stare at the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag?"
"When we return to Taiji, I will follow the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag all the way. Now several armies of the Tiger Flag have arrived on the other side of the river." Mo Rigen said.
"How many soldiers and horses?" Kankantada frowned, and then said, "How many people are there in the soldiers and horses you mentioned? Where are they camping now?"
Morigen said: "There are three troops and horses in total, with a total of tens of thousands of people. They are stationed more than ten miles away on the other side of the river. There are two large camps built of wood there."
"Wait a minute, you mean there are tens of thousands of troops in the Tiger Flag?" Su Nang asked Mo Rigen nervously.
Morigen said: "There are indeed tens of thousands of people, but there were not many at the beginning. As the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag passed through the forts along the road, more and more soldiers and horses gathered. When the army quickly arrived, When we arrived at the Dahei River, there were already tens of thousands of troops."
In winter, the soldiers and horses placed on the grassland by the Tiger Flag are all stationed in the Dunbao for the winter. As long as they don't enter the Dunbao, you can't tell how many people there are.
This time the army was dispatched. Except for those who stayed behind in each fort, all the soldiers and heavy supplies began to march towards the Dahei River. Naturally, the number of people increased.
Su Nang said with an ugly face: "If I remember correctly, when we fought with the Tiger Flag on the grassland years ago, the Tiger Flag only mobilized about 10,000 people, no more than 15,000 at most. This It’s only been one winter, how come there are so many extra soldiers and horses?”
As he said that, he looked at Kancantada aside.
At this moment, Kankantada's face was also very ugly.
Nearly twice as many soldiers and horses suddenly appeared on the side of the Tiger Flag, which made him feel the pressure.
Although the Tiger Banner does not have many cavalry, there are enough infantry to a certain extent, which is also a threat to the Mongolian cavalry.
In particular, the soldiers of the Tiger Character Banner used firearms, which was far more threatening than the weapons of the Ming army.
"Old Taiji, when will the reinforcements from other ministries arrive? Otherwise, facing tens of thousands of troops, it will be difficult for me to resist with just one of my troops." Su Nang said in a deep voice.
He only had a few thousand cavalry here, but the Tiger Character Banner had tens of thousands of troops, many times his number. This made him lose confidence in guarding the river bank.
"I will send someone to the Great Khan to urge him." Kankantada also knew that the river bank could not be defended by relying on sutanang, so he decided to send someone to Qingcheng.
Su Nang said: "Old Taiji, please hurry up. Now the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner have reached the other side of the river? They may launch an attack at any time? If reinforcements from various ministries arrive late, don't blame me for leading the people to retreat from the river bank."
"Don't worry, I believe reinforcements from various ministries will arrive soon? But I hope you can stay here on the river bank for a few more days. With this river? It will be very troublesome for the people in the Tiger Flag to cross the river, even if there are few people on our side. Some may not be impossible to defend." Kankantada didn't want Su Nang to retreat.
Once Su Nang leaves with the thousands of cavalrymen on the river bank, there will be no threat to the Tiger Banner army and they can cross the river smoothly without any obstruction.
Su Nang looked at Kankantada and said, "I just want reinforcements? I won't stay here without reinforcements."
Kankantada also looked at Su Nang.
After a while, Kancantada retreated in defeat, and finally said: "Okay? As long as reinforcements are not available, you can retreat in advance, but before retreating, I hope you can launch a surprise attack on the Tiger Flag army that has just crossed the river."
Su Nang hesitated.
Thinking that the Tiger Banner army that had just crossed the river was not on a stable footing and did not have much precaution. His men were all cavalry and could retreat calmly even if the attack failed. He nodded to Kancantada and agreed to the other party's request.

Seeing that Su Nang agreed, Kankantada breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said to the bodyguard beside him: "Chaqake, go to Qingcheng now and ask the Great Khan when reinforcements from various ministries will arrive."
"Yes." Chaqake agreed, turned and left.
Kankantada said to Mo Rigen who was standing below: "You two continue to monitor the movements of the Tiger Flag army. Once the Tiger Flag army moves towards the river bank, come back and report it immediately."
"Yes." Morigen and the people around him agreed at the same time.
The two people turned around and exited the yurt.
………………
Several combat divisions from the Tiger Character Banner came to Daheihe and entered the camp to rest and recuperate.
All kinds of food, grass and supplies have been prepared, and four-pounders and six-pounders have been placed in the camp.
After Chen Xunping and others settled the army, they took a group of guards to Dunbao to discuss matters.
The minimum personnel qualified to participate in the discussion are at the battalion level, and there are more than ten people from the three combat divisions in total.
The office was full of people, talking to each other. Everyone was holding a big teapot with steaming hot water in their hands.
Chen Xunping, Zhang Hong, and Wang Yuncheng sat on the benches in front of them, followed by Zhang Sancha and several division-level chiefs of staff.
All battalions were seated near the back.
As for the chief of staff at the battalion level, he is not qualified to participate in the discussion and remains in the camp.
"Your Excellency has arrived." A voice sounded outside the office.
Everyone sitting on the benches in the office room stood up from their seats at this time, and everyone looked towards the door.
The cotton curtain in front of the door was opened, and Liu Heng walked in from the outside.
Li Shuheng and Huang Hong from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau came in with him, and Zhao Wu walked last as a bodyguard.
Liu Heng walked to the seat behind the table in the room and sat down with a solemn expression.
Li Shuheng sat on the seat on the side of the table.
"Everyone, sit down!" Liu Heng said to everyone in the room.
Wow!
At this time, everyone sat down together.
"Is everyone here?" Liu Heng asked the clerk beside him.
The clerk said: "Everyone is here."
Liu Heng withdrew his gaze, looked at the people in front of him again, and said, "Since everyone is here, let's have a meeting now."
Chen Xunping and others took out a small notebook from their bodies, holding charcoal pens in their hands, ready to record.
"We are all here for the purpose of pre-war discussions before the war with the Mongols." Liu Heng said, "You are all old people from our Tiger Banner. Many of you have followed me since you were a bandit. It’s been a long time now.”
Many people at the first level of Huzi Banner camp were from the bandit camp back then, and only a few were from miners at the Dongshan Iron Works.
The Yingzheng who was born as a miner basically had the opportunity to be promoted to Yingzheng because of the expansion of the War Division. Pan Yi was promoted to a member of the Third War Division because of the establishment of the War Division in Tiger Character Banner. Yingzheng.
