tread! tread! tread!
Zhang Hong's escort ran into the signing room from outside with an excited look on his face.
"Good news, the division is right, good news." He said excitedly, "The leading team of our First Combat Division is here. They also said that the Personal Division is behind and will follow the remaining teams of the First Combat Division. stand up."
Snapped!
Zhang Hong put down the charcoal in his hand and said equally excitedly: "You mean the first combat division and the personal division are here?"
"Yes, they are all here." The guard nodded vigorously.
"Haha, okay, our reinforcements are here, and we can finally use our troops elsewhere." Zhang Hong walked out from behind the table and said at the same time, "Come on, follow me to pick up our reinforcements."
After saying that, he strode out.
But as soon as he reached the door, he retracted his legs after crossing the threshold, looked at his guards again, and said, "Did you say before that the personal soldiers are here too?"
"Yes, the personal infantry division is also here, as well as the First Infantry Division, two full infantry divisions, more than 30,000 people." The guard nodded excitedly.
Zhang Hong frowned and said, "The personal soldier division is here. Could it be that the proprietor is also here with us?"
Since the establishment of the personal division, it has been by Liu Heng's side and has never been far away.
"The proprietor won't come! We are at war with the imperial court, and Datong is the frontline battlefield. Even if the proprietor wants to come, he should wait until the war in Datong is over. It is too dangerous to come here now," the guard said.
Zhang Hong said: "You don't know our proprietor. He is different from the one in Beijing. Our proprietor has seen human blood on his hands. He has led the team many times and fought with us against each other." Fight for your life.”
His guard joined the Tiger Flag later. At that time, the Tiger Flag was no longer limited to Lingqiu, and Liu Heng, as the proprietor, did not need to fight his opponents personally every time.
"Then we should advise the proprietor not to come to Datong. There is a saying that if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, we can all get into trouble, but the tiger character flag cannot be without the proprietor." The guard said.
Liu Heng’s imprint on Tiger Flag was too deep.
It can be said that without Liu Heng, there would be no Tiger Flag today.
Most of the members of the Tiger Banner are bandits, miners, poor local people in Datong, refugees from Liaodong who fled to Datong, and people from Gansu and Shaanxi who suffered disasters. The vast majority of these people are poor people.
Without the Tiger Flag, most of these people would have died somewhere unknown. It is precisely because the Tiger Flag took them in that they have enough food and warm clothes today, so they are the most loyal to the Tiger Flag.
As Liu Heng, who single-handedly created the Tiger-Charactered Flag and made the Tiger-Charactered Flag powerful, he is the one supported by everyone.
"The proprietor is really coming. We can't stop him. Come on, follow me to greet our comrades from the First War Division." Zhang Hong stepped out.
The guard following behind said as he walked: "If the proprietor really comes, Shi Zheng, you should come forward to persuade the proprietor to return to Qingcheng. It is really too dangerous to stay in Datong."
"You're not done yet, are you? The proprietor is really coming. Unless he wants to go back, no one can persuade him." The man in front said as he walked.
The guard following him said: "Then you must persuade me! If you come forward to persuade me, your words will have more weight than those of my subordinates."
"You talk nonsense, okay, I promise you, as long as the proprietor really comes to Datong, I will definitely come forward to persuade the proprietor to go back. You should also take a few steps and go outside to ask someone to prepare the horse." Zhang Hong scolded with a smile. One sentence.
He was very happy that the people around him were so concerned about Liu Heng's safety.
The scolded guard chuckled and said, "I've already guessed that you would personally greet the reinforcements from the First Battle Division, so I had my horses prepared in advance."
"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way?" Zhang Hong raised his foot as if to kick the guard who was following him.
The guards reacted very quickly and sneaked out of the general's mansion when the situation turned bad.
A group of soldiers and horses were guarding outside the gate of the general's mansion.
Among them, two soldiers stood next to the horse-mounted stone, each holding a horse in his hand.
"drive!"
Zhang Hong, who was on horseback, knocked the horse's belly with both feet and urged the horse to trot.
The guards and a group of soldiers guarding the door all followed behind and walked towards the outside of Xinpingbao City.
Xinping Fort was the first frontier fort occupied by the Tiger Character Banner. There were not many households left in the city. It could be said that they could run away. Even if the Tiger Character Banner army defeated the two frontier armies commanded by Yang Guozhu and Wang Bao, the same would happen. No people came back.
There are fewer businesses in the city, and there are few pedestrians on the streets. The empty streets allow horses to run back and forth without worrying about hitting any pedestrians.
Soon, Zhang Hong led people out of the city gate of Xinpingbao.
At this time, a large army under the banner of the First Battle Division was marching towards Xinping Fort from a distance.
"Do you know which battalion of the First Battle Division is coming?" Zhang Hong did not go over, but used a single-channel telescope to observe the approaching army in the distance.
The guard said: "The person who sent the message said that he was coming from the Third Battle Barracks, and the leader was their Deputy Shizheng Zhang."
"It turns out that Brother Zhang Sancha is leading the team. Come on, follow me to meet them." Zhang Hong urged his horse to gallop forward.
The guards and the team of soldiers who came out of the city also urged their horses to catch up.
Soon, they came to the front of the leading team of the First War Division.
"I am Zhang Hong, the commander of the Second Military Division. Are you, Deputy Division Zhang, here?" Zhang Hong took out a token that could prove his identity and glanced at the soldiers in front of him.
After verifying the identity token, the soldier immediately saluted Zhang Hong and said: "First battle soldier division, captain of the first squadron of the third battle camp, I have met Zhang Shizheng."
"Where is your deputy commander?" Zhang Hong put away his identity token and asked the soldiers in front of him.
The soldier said: "The deputy division commander is behind the team. My subordinates are going to inform our deputy division commander Zhang Shizheng that you are here."
"No need, your deputy division commander is already here." Zhang Hong looked behind the soldier with a smile.
The soldier looked back subconsciously.
Behind the team, there were several riders walking towards the front.
"Before leaving the grassland, I thought of giving you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to come here first." Zhang Sancha said with a smile after seeing Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "You coming is a surprise to me."
"Haha, I love hearing that." Zhang Sancha laughed twice, and then asked, "How is the situation here? Have you encountered any hard-to-break bones that require help from our first combat division?"
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Now the Second Battle Division has captured Yanghe Road and patrolled the Beidong Road of North Hebei Road, and one of its teams has even arrived at Settlement City."
"Settlement City?" Zhang Sancha was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you already preparing to attack Datong Town?"
Having lived in Datong for so many years, he naturally knows the location of Settlement City and the importance of Settlement City to Datong Town.
