The general's eyes began to light up.
Zuo Fu, who noticed this, smiled and said, "I've shown you the way. I don't need to tell you what to do next. You should know it well."
"Don't worry, deputy commander, the commander-in-chief will never delay the commander-in-chief's plan to suppress bandits." The battalion general assured with a smile on his face.
The bandits are a group of common people who have no food to eat. Naturally, there is not much benefit to be gained from pacifying these people. They can only hope to get rewards from the court for their meritorious service. But this tiger-character flag is obviously different. They are so rich that after they are wiped out, they will not only get rewards from the court. As a result of the commendation, the following battalions will also receive a lot of benefits.
Zuo Fu stood up from his seat, patted the camp general on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can resolve the external matters as soon as possible. I have to go to other camps to take a look."
"The general will see you off at the end." The general of the camp accompanied him and went to see Zuo Fu off in person.
Zuo Fu, who walked to the camp tent door, stopped, turned around and said to the camp general who was following him: "Don't send me away, hurry up and appease the people below. The general's army may use troops against the rebels in Bao'an Prefecture at any time. "
He opened the curtain in front of the camp tent door, walked out, took the soldiers waiting outside, and left the camp.
The camp general took a few steps and then stepped back, walked back to the main seat in the tent and sat down.
At this time, he looked at his subordinates in the tent and said: "You have all heard what Deputy Commander Zuo just said! Don't stay here for a while, go and go outside to appease your subordinates. If you want to make a fortune, then No one can cause trouble for me."
The paymasters and flag officers in the tent rushed out of the camp general's tent, wanting to tell their subordinates the good news as early as possible.
The camp general watched as the commander-in-chief and flag-officers left their tents one by one. He looked in the direction of the camp door and cursed with a smile: "A bunch of bastards with breasts are their motherfuckers."
He was relieved that the payment issue was resolved.
The disputes over pay in each battalion were quickly suppressed, and the few remaining soldiers who wanted to continue arguing about pay could no longer threaten the stability of the army.
"Report!"
In the Chinese army tent led by Zhao, a token officer ran in from outside and said: "The latest battle report has been sent from the front. Jimingyi was captured by the rebel army. Now the rebel army is heading towards Huailaiwei. March.”
Zhao Shujiao hurriedly asked his soldiers to spread the map on the table.
He leaned over the table and moved his fingers back and forth between several Dunbao and Huailaiwei between Baoan Prefecture and Yanqing Prefecture.
"Go and find all the battalion commanders and the left deputy commander." He said from the command officer.
In about half the time it took to burn the incense, Zuo Fu and several battalion generals arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
Zhao Lingjiao sat condescendingly in a high position in the tent, looked at the subordinates on his left and right, and said: "I just got the news that the rebel army is approaching us. It is currently in the Tumubao area and may enter Yanqing Prefecture at any time."
"General, tell me what to do. Everyone will listen to you." Zuo Fu said.
"Yes, I will listen to you, General."
The camp generals in the tent spoke one after another.
Zhao led the teacher and asked: "How is the payment issue resolved? Have the soldiers and horses in each battalion been calmed down?"
"General, don't worry. When I came back from several large camps, all the camps had settled down, and no one was making trouble in the camp because of lack of pay." Zuo Fu said.
Zhao Shujiao nodded and asked: "Where are the troops of Yanqing Right Guard, Yanqing Guard, and Longmen Guard?"
A general walked out of the crowd and said: "The five thousand soldiers and horses of Yanqing Guard and Yanqing Right Guard can arrive at any time. The three thousand soldiers and horses of Longmen Guard are a little further away and there are still two days to go."
"Go and urge the Longmen Guards to come over quickly." Zhao Shujiao said.
The general clasped his fists and said, "The general has arranged for someone to rush him."
"Use it again." Zhao led the instruction.
"yes."
Zhao Shujiao glanced at the faces of everyone in the tent one by one, and said: "The general is not in a hurry to take action, but the rebels have come to the door. Since the opportunity is in front of you, you can't miss it. Generals, listen make."
The generals in the tent all looked solemn.
Zhao led the teachings in a serious tone: "The horse army rushed to Huailaiwei immediately. They must block the rebel bandits in Huailaiwei and Tumubao before they attack Huailaiwei. We must not allow the rebel bandits to continue to attack Yanqing." The state is advancing.”
"Yes." A military general stood up and responded.
Zhao led the teaching and said: "The other battalions immediately broke up and set out to follow the general to find the main force of the rebel bandits, and strive to wipe out the rebel bandits causing trouble in Xuanfu territory in one battle."
"Yes." The other battalion generals responded.
The cavalry troops among the official army set off first, and rushed to Huailaiwei first while the battalions were still preparing to break out.
From Yanqing to Huailaiwei, the horse army needs a little more than a day, and the infantry is even slower. It is difficult to get there in less than two or three days. For the soldiers and horses of the guard station, even four days cannot be completed. Rushed to Huailaiwei from Yanqing Prefecture.
When the Ma Army arrived at Huailaiwei, the Tumu Fort had been captured by Chen Xunping and the First War Division, and the army was staying in the Tumu Fort area for repairs.
The news that Zhao Lijiao and the Guan Ning soldiers and horses led by him appeared in Yanqing Prefecture had long been known to the First Battle Division and the Third Battle Division.
Chen Xunping left Xuanfu to the Third War Division, and led the First War Division to Baoan Prefecture, seeking a decisive battle with the Liaodong army led by Zhao.
The Tiger Character Banner had defeated the soldiers and horses of the guard station, the border troops of Xuanda, and the border troops of Taiyuan and Yulin Town, but it had not fought against the most elite soldiers and horses of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Xunping didn't want to miss this opportunity.
He was also from the Liaodong frontier army, so he wanted to see whether the soldiers and horses of their Tiger Flag were more powerful, or the so-called most elite Liaodong soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.
"Report."
A fast rider who dispersed the tiger flag came to Chen Xunping at a gallop.
"Reporting to the commander, the official cavalry was found outside Huailai Guard City, numbering between five and six hundred, carrying three small cannons, and the leader was a guerrilla."
The sentries of the Tiger Flag are equipped with monocular binoculars.
You can clearly see the enemy's situation without getting too close to the enemy, which greatly ensures the safety of your own sentries.
"The enemy has too many cavalry. Division Zheng, do you think we should retreat to the earthen fort first to avoid their sharp edges and look for the opponent's infantry for a decisive battle." Staff Qin Rong said.
He has cooperated with Chen Xunping for many years. When Chen Xunping was still the commander of the First Battle Barracks, he was the staff officer of the First Battle Barracks. The two of them are old partners, so they don't have too many scruples about what they say.
Chen Xunping shook his head and said: "We can't retreat. The army has been strong all the way and its morale is at its peak. Retreating to Tumu Fort at this time will damage the morale of the soldiers below."
"The cavalry we brought is only about a hundred or so. They are mainly used to deliver messages and serve as sentry cavalry. They are not suitable for fighting with enemy cavalry." Qin Rong frowned.
