Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.
The door opened and Zhang Kai walked in hurriedly.
"Master Zhao! You..."
"Old Zhang, why are you here? You're still so impatient, come and sit down!"
Seeing Zhang Kai, Zhao Ming smiled and motioned for him to take a seat.
However, Zhang Kai had an anxious look on his face and did not bother to sit down. He put his hands on the table and said hurriedly, "Master Zhao, Wang Er is missing!"
"Gone? How is this possible? How could such a living person be missing?
Besides, they are already in their twenties. Lao Zhang, you are wrong.
It’s true that I was the Suppressing Song Army before, but they were not your subordinates before. How old I am, and you still control me like this! "
Zhao Ming pointed at Zhang Kai and opened his mouth to scold him.
"Master Zhao! You..."
Zhang Kai opened his mouth, his face turned green and white, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then why are there still five hundred brothers missing?"
"this...."
Hearing this, Zhao Ming looked around and said with a smile, "Maybe he went out to enjoy the wind. If you stay in this camp for a long time and there are many people, you will easily get hot."
"Master Zhao, just tell me the truth. Did you kill the Outer Mongolians?"
Seeing that Zhao Ming was refusing to give in, Zhang Kai simply got straight to the point.
"good!"
Zhao Ming nodded calmly.
"You said you should go as planned, didn't you say within a few days?" Zhang Kai frowned.
"The opportunity will never come again! Today there is an escort team from Outer Mongolia and they just have to vote." Zhao Ming said.
After hearing this, Zhang Kai's expression softened.
"Just attacking the escort team? That's not bad, but will it alert the enemy?" Zhang Kai was suspicious.
"No! This is the best!" Zhao Ming smiled.
"If we keep doing nothing, these Mongolians will probably have more doubts in their minds, thinking that we are holding back our big move to cause harm.
Haven't you noticed that the Mongolians have intensified their reconnaissance efforts on us in the past two days? "
"That's true. During the half month we left, I heard from the brothers in the camp that Outer Mongolia's reconnaissance efforts were gradually increasing.
During the day, some people even saw Mongolian scouts nearby. "
Zhang Kai nodded, and his expression completely improved.
Zhao Ming said in a deep voice, "Although we have hidden all the loot we brought back this time, if we keep an eye on it every day, there is no guarantee that the other party will not get any clues.
And I'm just testing this! "
"Testing?"
Zhao Ming was about to respond when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside again.
After a while, a brother pushed in the door and said hurriedly, "Master Zhao! The second master is back, and... he brought back a lot of trophies!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"Look, isn't this a test? Go out and take a look!"
As the two people arrived outside the camp, they saw that the team of 500 people had almost no casualties except for a few injured.
But if you look closely, you can see that the team has grown in size.
people! A lot of people! There are also cattle and sheep, and there are acres and acres of cattle and sheep!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Kai opened his mouth wide.
"Isn't this really a stab at someone else's lair?"
He somewhat doubted whether Zhao Ming was fooling him again.
"Haha, if we attack their base camp, how can there be only a few casualties? Judging from the current situation, Lao Zhang, what do you think the Outer Mongolians are doing?" Zhao Ming asked with a smile, pointing to the situation in front of him.
This time they not only captured some Outer Mongolians, but also captured a large number of local grassland herders, both men and women, who were obviously not Outer Mongolians.
Most of the men are in their prime, and all the women except the old ones are there.
As for the cattle and sheep, at a glance, there are no less than three thousand.
This is definitely a huge bonus.
But looking at these, Zhang Kai fell into deep thought.
After a while, his eyes brightened a little and he smiled, "The Outer Mongols are about to retreat!"
"Yes! This possibility is higher, but we still need to try it again!" Zhao Ming also nodded.
"How else can I test it?"
\"Easy! Wait!\"
"wait!"
"When their next escort team passes by, I want to see their escort frequency and the strength of their escort of materials."
After leaving these words, Zhao Ming stopped talking to Lao Zhang.
Instead, he stepped forward and listened to Wang Er's report.
"Mr. Zhao, we are lucky this time. It stands to reason that so much material needs to be escorted by a complete foreign minister.
But they are still a hundred-man team, equivalent to the strength of a company.
And most of their reconnaissance efforts are near our Huozhongtun.
Following your instructions, the brothers set out early in the morning and made a large circle around the area, avoiding any possible Outer Mongolian scouts nearby.
Although I traveled an extra thirty miles, it was all worth it. What a bumper harvest! "
Wang Er had a smile on his face, and there was a hint of vibrato in his words.
This time they not only captured eighty or ninety Outer Mongolians, but also rescued a thousand local grassland herders.
Most of these people come from the Chazhong area.
After hearing this, Zhang Kai realized that Zhao Ming had made so many arrangements for this operation.
At this moment, Zhao Ming didn't have much of a smile on his face, but asked, "Did anyone leave a message?"
"Don't worry about this, you don't need to stay, we will do it at the same place.
There was a temporary post station for Outer Mongolians nearby. When we started, there were dozens of Outer Mongolians watching helplessly. "
Having said this, Wang Er showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said with a bitter face,
"But Mr. Zhao, why don't you let Brother Hou do this next time?"
"how?"
Zhao Ming was a little unhappy.
"It's just that I'm not used to this job. You say half the effort and leave half the effort.
But this group of Outer Mongolians doesn’t look like the main battle force at all. They break into pieces at the slightest touch. The brothers performed very hard! "
Wang Er said helplessly.
Hearing this, Zhang Kai narrowed his eyes and vaguely felt that this operation was very tricky!
“Damn it, if I let you do it, it means it’s only suitable for you!
I will continue tomorrow and intensify the reconnaissance of the escort route. Once any Mongolians are found, do it again as I did today! "
As Zhao Ming spoke, he patted Wang Er heavily on the shoulder.
This job can only be left to Wang Er. The reckless man like Monkey is not suitable for such delicate work at all.
As for the others, Baoshan and Zhang He had no control over the Song Suppression Army at all.
However, the Chabei United Army under their control does not have that high execution ability, so the performance may fail.
"Master Zhao! Do you want to..."
Zhang Kai came to Zhao Ming's side, looked serious and whispered, "Showing weakness to the enemy?"
"Smart!" Zhao Ming gave Zhang Kai a thumbs up.
Zhang Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. He said it so thoroughly, couldn't anyone with a discerning eye see it?
"Master Zhao, there is nothing wrong with your thinking.
Now it seems that the Outer Mongols are indeed showing signs of retreating directly.
And it’s almost time now. Counting the time, it’s almost the New Year’s Eve, and it will be New Year’s Eve in a few days.
The Outer Mongolians have been assimilated a lot by us before, and they also have the habit of celebrating the New Year.
If the guess is correct, they most likely want to return to Outer Mongolia before New Year's Eve.
If it's fast, it will leave here around New Year's Eve; if it's slow, it will leave two days before New Year's Eve.
Time is very tight, and I'm worried that this method won't keep them!
If you want me to see it, it’s better not to do anything else and just give them their escape route..."
As he spoke, Zhang Kai made a cutting motion with his palm.
"Of course we have to be prepared for this, but it is a last resort."
Zhao Ming said calmly, directly cutting off the Outer Mongolians' retreat and forcing them to stay in Chahar for a longer period of time. He had naturally thought of such a method.
