"The camp is up, the army has arrived forty miles away from us, can we break camp?"
Jia Shenwu quickly walked in from outside with his guards.
In the military system of the Tiger-Character Banner, officers of the Thousand-Man Corps and above are equipped with a guard, unlike the official army, where generals can support their own soldiers and servants as long as they have money.
In the Tiger-Character Banner, officers are not allowed to raise personal servants.
In order to ensure the safety of officers, the Tiger-Character Banner Army has established personal guards such as squadrons and squadrons.
The Guards do not belong to the officers alone, but are organized into the combat barracks or combat division where they are located.
Xiao Wu lowered his head and glanced at the map on the table, frowned slightly, and said: "Something is wrong. Logically speaking, the military sentry should appear near Xiao Songji, but our sentry found no trace of the other party's sentry. .”
"What the hell do I think this is?" Jia Shenwu picked up the teapot on the table and took a big sip, saying in his mouth, "We are within ten miles of the army. It would be good if the army's sentry can spot us. , you should be like the scouts of our Tiger Flag, who will know the situation dozens of miles away from the army in advance every time."
Xiao Wu smiled mockingly.
I also felt that I was a little too worried. How could the Ming army be compared with their army with the Tiger Flag.
"Report! Commander Huang of the Xuanwu Guard is here." The guard outside the tent came in to announce.
Xiao Wu waved to the guard and said, "Commander Huang, please come in."
The guard turned and retreated.
"It seems that he also got news about Shandong's soldiers and horses." Jia Shenwu said to Xiao Wu.
Although the soldiers and horses of Xuanwuwei are not stationed in the same camp as the soldiers and horses of Tiger Flag, they are all here in Xiaosongji, but one is in the west and the other is in the east.
Commander Huang asked people to wait outside the tent. As soon as the guards came out, he walked into the tent from the outside.
"General, I will see Xiao Yingzheng and Deputy Jia Yingzheng." Commander Huang greeted the two men very politely.
Xiao Wu greeted warmly with a smile on his face: "Commander Huang is too polite. We are all our own people. Please take a seat."
At this time, Jia Shenwu stood up, gave up his seat to Commander Huang, poured some water for him with his own hands, and brought it over in a teapot.
"Commander Huang, please drink some water."
"Thank you."
Commander Huang thanked him and took the teapot, brought it to his mouth and blew in the hot air inside.
"Commander Huang came here, but what happened?" Xiao Wu asked.
Hearing this, Commander Huang quickly put down the teapot in his hand and said, "I heard that the soldiers and horses of Beiwadusi in Shandong Province have arrived. I came here to ask Xiao Yingzheng if I need the soldiers and horses of Xuanwuwei to cooperate with Hu." The soldiers and horses of Ziqi move together."
"I was just about to tell you about this." Xiao Wu said to him, "Xuanwuwei only needs to send out cavalry to cooperate with us, and the main attack task will be completed by the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag."
"Okay, Xuanwuwei will definitely cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag." Commander Huang assured.
Xiao Wu nodded and said with a smile on his face: "After this battle is over, Commander Huang and Xuanwuwei's troops can return to Kaifeng Mansion. Someone will contact Commander Huang specifically next."
"Is it Chen Shizheng?" Commander Huang asked cautiously.
The Master Chen he mentioned was referring to Chen Xunping. After all, Xiao Wu and others all belonged to the First Battle Division.
Xiao Wu shook his head slightly and said: "It should be someone from the governor's Yamen."
Hearing this, Commander Huang looked disappointed.
Like the Ming Dynasty, the military and political affairs of Tiger Character Banner were also separated.
If the division of the First Battle Division met him, he and Xuanwuwei would become officers of the Tiger Banner in the future, and the person who summoned him was someone from the governor's yamen. He knew that he would probably leave the path of leading troops in the future.
Commander Huang was unwilling to lose the military power in his hands and couldn't help but said: "Can Xiao Yingzheng tell Chen Shizheng that the general is willing to lead troops to capture the city and capture territory for the Tiger Flag and overthrow the Ming Dynasty."
"I will definitely convey Commander Huang's sentiments to Shi Zheng. In fact, I also hope that Commander Huang can stay in the army, but I am a man of few words. So be it. The next battle will depend on Xuanwuwei's performance and his achievements. I'm easy to talk to." Xiao Wu drew a pie for Commander Huang.
Commander Huang, who also understood that this was a big pie, nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, Xiao Yingzheng, this time you will see the performance of the final general and Xuanwuwei."
He really couldn't bear to let go of Xuanwuwei's military power.
"Okay, then it's settled." Xiao Wu reached out and patted Commander Huang's upper arm twice, and said with a smile, "In an hour, Xuanwuwei's cavalry can set off."
"Yes." Commander Huang stood up and solemnly agreed.
Then he turned around and left the tent.
As soon as the others left, Jia Shenwu looked back, looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Are you really going to write to Shi Zheng and leave Xuanwu Wei behind?"
"Let's see again! If Xuanwuwei's cavalry is available, they can stay. I don't think Shizheng will object." Xiao Wu said.
Jia Shenwu frowned slightly and said, "What should I do with the commander of Xuanwu Guard? Stay with him too?"
"What are you thinking! He definitely can't stay." Xiao Wu glanced at Jia Shenwu and said immediately, "I'm not worried about such a person staying and directly leading the troops! If he doesn't leave, the cavalry of Xuanwu Guard will listen to us If so, it’s better to listen to him, the former commander of Xuanwu Guard.”
After hearing these words, Jia Shenwu chuckled and said: "I thought you were planning to keep this Commander Huang. If you don't keep him, that's fine. He is not suitable to stay in our army, at least. It's not the right time."
"Don't worry, I know it well, and Deputy Director Li and Shi Zheng will not agree to Commander Huang of Xuanwuwei staying with us." Xiao Wu said.
Jia Shenwu pursed his lips and chuckled: "Commander Huang was deceived by you this time. If he knew that he could not stay in the army after working hard to kill the enemy, he might have to bear a grudge against you."
"Then just hate it, I don't care." Xiao Wu said disapprovingly.
At this moment, a guard came in from outside the tent and reported: "Yingzheng, Xiao Songji sent an envoy to see Yingzheng, saying that he came to deliver gifts. At this time, he has arrived at the gate of the camp."
"People from Xiao Songji!" Xiao Wu frowned slightly.
Jia Shenwu, who was standing next to him, said with a smile: "I am familiar with this matter. Spending money to buy peace seems to be frightening to us."
"Then let's meet." Xiao Wu also laughed, and immediately said to the guard, "Bring the person here!"
For him, the benefits he gets are free of charge, and he doesn’t want them for free.
The guards retreated.
"I will organize the army first, and I will set off with the 3,000-man team later." Jia Shenwu said to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu nodded.
