Zhang Kai paused as he spoke, then hesitated slightly.
“It’s just Master Zhao, if we take action in advance and want to completely swallow up this group of Outer Mongolians, we will definitely use all the heavy firepower we can use.
Otherwise, the brothers will suffer huge casualties, and there will be many uncontrollable factors. "
This means that if you don't use heavy firepower and just use a small amount of disguised firepower, it is likely to overturn.
"But if we use heavy firepower, then... Special Envoy Zhou's side..."
This is why Huo Zhongtun is facing a rather embarrassing problem now. The special envoy Zhou is still there. Once a large amount of heavy firepower is used, what will the other party think?
At that time, Zhao Ming's overall arrangements may be disrupted.
"Heavy firepower must be used. Since we want to completely swallow up the Outer Mongols, we must bring out all our trump cards.
The lion still needs all his strength to fight the rabbit, but we must not be careless at all! "
After speaking, Zhao Ming then asked, "By the way, how is the training situation of each battalion now?"
"It only lasts for a week, but I can barely take it out and fight it. It has a certain combat effectiveness." Zhang Kai responded in a deep voice.
"Then we will launch a general attack at nightfall tomorrow. As for the relevant deployment... Staff Officer Zhang, you and I will work overtime. We will first formulate a rough siege plan, and we will adapt to the details when the battle comes.
In addition, the surrounding security will be strengthened tonight. Before we take action, we must not let the Mongolians raid our lair in advance. "
In this regard, Zhao Ming showed a resolute side, because they have been preparing for this battle, and they have strong confidence in this battle.
There is indeed no comparison in terms of numbers, but if a war is based solely on the number of people, then all wars are unnecessary.
With so much firepower, his own morale was extremely high, and Zhao Ming really couldn't imagine the possibility of defeat.
"yes!"
The voices of everyone rang out in the room, and they all stood at attention and saluted, a rare display of formality in the military camp.
As everyone left the room one by one, soon only Zhao Ming and Zhang Kai were left in the room.
"Master Zhao, having said that, what should we do with Special Envoy Zhou? How about I have someone get him drunk tomorrow?"
"Drunk? No, I can let him go tomorrow morning!"
Zhao Ming chuckled and shook his head. In recent days, he had been silently observing Major Zhou.
Zhao Ming wrote the entire script as early as the night the other party first arrived.
Then he scattered this entire set of scripts into multiple fragments of information, and asked people to spread it to some NPCs he designated.
False information, if you tell it directly to the other party, it will definitely be false at first glance, but if the other party goes through all the hard work to sort it out, it will definitely feel that it is true.
What you don’t get is always in turmoil.
At the same time, in a certain guest room in Huo Zhongtun, it was not much better than other rooms. The room was not big, with only a bed and a crude desk.
But Zhou Yude knew very well that this was already the best room here.
The larger the room here, the more people share it. Zhou Yude had already figured this out after walking around and asking around every day for the past few days.
At this time, besides him, there were several smart-looking soldiers in the room. They were all Zhou Yude's confidants.
"Sir, you asked us to inquire clearly. I am responsible for obtaining information about logistics and warehousing.
I have asked many people, and they all said that there is plenty of food now and there is no need to worry about food at all.
And if I ask too many questions, they will be very wary and ask me who I am and how I can find out these things.
Fortunately, I found an excuse to walk quickly.
But how could you hide it from me? I sneaked in at night, and all the damn granaries they had could run away with rats.
The total does not exceed one thousand kilo of rice noodles. "
Listening to the report from his confidants, Zhou Yude frowned.
"Then how do they solve the problem of food and drink for these tens of thousands of people?"
"This is simple. Didn't you realize that we eat meat here every day recently? It's all beef and mutton.
The prisoners ate similar food to us, which was porridge made from minced beef and mutton.
Meat can actually replenish energy, and they also make use of the mutton and butter. There is a lot of oil and water in the meat porridge, so you will naturally not feel hungry after eating it. "
The confidant was talking eloquently and then said mysteriously, "And I also inquired and heard that they seem to often send people to dig some of those wild vegetables.
They mixed wild vegetables and meat porridge and remaining rice and flour in a ratio of 5:4:1, which greatly reduced food loss. "
"Wild vegetables? There are also wild vegetables on the grassland?" Zhou Yude was surprised. There were not many on the grassland, so he didn't know it clearly.
"Of course there are wild vegetables, such as some wild vegetables, such as quamacai and kangmai, which are found far away in the woods, but this is how they eat them.
And with their number, I guess even the wild vegetables can’t hold up much.
Even if there were many cattle and sheep in the camp, there would probably be no food to eat for more than half a month. "
After hearing this, Zhou Yude nodded to this confidant with satisfaction.
Immediately he looked at another confidant, "What about you?"
"Sir, you asked me to investigate this mine, and I walked around for a few days to inquire about some information.
There is indeed an open-pit mine here, and many of their prisoners of war work here every day.
The coal mines now stockpiling almost hundreds of tons of coal, and this is still a situation where there is no equipment available.
If there is mining equipment, I estimate that the output will continue to increase. There are indeed a lot of coal mines here. "
"Well, is there any more detailed information?"
Zhou Yude continued to ask. In fact, there was no need to ask for this information. He just looked around and listened in the past few days and knew that a large number of people were working and mining at the foot of the mountain every day.
"I heard that a businessman came here before. It seems that Chief Zhao cooperated with that businessman. Now that businessman also wants to get involved. He probably went back to raise money." A confidant thought.
"So, this Zhao Ming spends so much money here in Chabei just to make money?" Zhou Yude asked a little puzzled.
It's okay if we don't investigate, but if we investigate, it's all about the other party making money?
"Maybe they just do it for money."
Seeing Zhou Yude speak, his confidants nodded.
\"And I also heard that the herdsmen and soldiers in the camp were actually somewhat dissatisfied with the prisoners. There was not enough food in the camp, and they thought this was a waste of food.
I asked them why they didn't cut the rations of these prisoners. Sir, what do you think they said?\"
\"Stop talking nonsense and speak directly!\" Zhou Yude scolded.
"Hey!" The confidant was annoyed and said quickly, "They said Chief Zhao is still waiting for them to work, but we can't waste these prisoners."
Hearing this answer, Zhou Yude nodded without surprise.
From the information compiled earlier, it is not difficult to guess that this Zhao Ming did it with the idea of letting the prisoners do the work for nothing.
"But isn't this too easy?"
Zhou Yude rubbed his chin, feeling that the information was too simple and straightforward.
Since the other party is just asking for money, there is no need to be so secretive. Those who don't know may think that this person has some evil intentions.
And there is still one thing I don’t understand: how did Zhao Ming beat the Outer Mongolians one after another and make them run away with their heads in their hands?
