Chapter 993 Self-character volume is ready for battle (2)

"... Judging from the current situation, it is as expected that it is the fifth division of Neikalkha. Yang Er saw the flag of the Hongji division. If it is as expected, the guy in fur should be Zaisai..., Wu Qi Zhuoli Ketuhong Batulu from the Yete Division also appeared, and if these two men appeared, it means that the main force of the five divisions of the entire Nekarka has been exhausted,..."

  Sun Zushou's tone was gloomy, and the situation was very unfavorable. The force of the Mongol East Road was stronger than originally expected.

"...The one that fell at the end should be the Horqin Division. There are about 5,000 people, but they are all light cavalry, almost one person and two cavalry. They always keep a certain distance from the Five Divisions of Neikalkha. The food and grass they carry The supply is far less than Nekhka, I don't know why,..."

  Sun Zushou frowned after hearing the introduction from his subordinates.

"It seems that the rumors of discord between the five tribes of Neikarka and the Horqin tribe are true. It is reasonable to say that the Horqin tribe is not willing to listen to the orders of the Chahar people, but this time they are still dispatched. There may still be Eastern captives here. It’s making trouble, but after going back to the situation of disharmony between the five divisions of Neikalkha and the Horqin division, I want the commander-in-chief to report it clearly,…”

"My lord, we found that the five divisions of Neikalkha were moving very fast, and they seemed to be very familiar with the path. In the area of ​​Baishu on the right bank of the Qinglong River, I found that they parted ways without any hesitation, and directly chose the right path. In addition, the selection of the locations of the various campsites is also very comprehensive, and the locations of the sentry posts should have been carefully arranged, how could the five divisions of Nekarka be so familiar with the terrain here?"

  A subordinate was a little puzzled.

  Sun Zushou was also heartbroken, "Maybe it's from Chahar..."

"My lord, the Chahar people have always invaded more from Tuhutong and Jielingkou, or from the watershed and Da'ankou. The subordinates have also checked the records in recent years. The time when the Chahar people moved to the west It’s not too long, and the Mongols are careless, so it’s difficult for the subordinates to do it so finely,…”

  Sun Zushou nodded silently.

He also knew that what he just said was not in line with common sense. The Mongols might be familiar with route selection, and it might make sense, but even water sources, camping, and guards could be considered so meticulously and carefully, it seemed unreasonable, unless The Mongols changed style, but it didn't happen overnight.

  He also tends to be the hands and feet of Jianzhou Jurchen.

But this also proves from the side that the imperial court is correct to regard Jianzhou Jurchen as the biggest confidant's trouble. The Mongols are just causing a lot of trouble, at most to a small degree, but if they give Jianzhou Jurchen an opportunity, it is definitely a deadly.

"Let's leave him alone for the time being, and explain our respective situations clearly first. Yang Er and I will continue to stay in the mountains. Zhou Quan, you take these situations back and report to the adults immediately. Be careful, there must be no omissions. You now Let’s repeat everything again to see if there are any mistakes or omissions,…”

  Another short and strong man did not refuse, nodded and accepted the order: "Okay. First, the situation of the five departments of Neikalka is as follows..."

   After the man named Zhou Quan's narration was complete and clear, Sun Zushou added a few more words, and then told the other party to return immediately.

   "Then, my lord, how should I meet you after my subordinates report?" Zhou Quan couldn't help asking.

   "Well, it is estimated that by then the Mongols should have broken through and entered. We will look at the situation at that time. If the Mongols have to retreat from the original road, we will worry about it."

Sun Zushou was well aware of the deployment of the Jizhen army at the Beacon Pass. If a small group of three to five hundred Mongols could still fight, if an army of tens of thousands invaded, all the battalions at the southern foot of the mountain would have to gather. It is impossible to stop the invasion of such a large army by holding a group to find an opportunity to fight.

  In other words, it is inevitable that Yongping Mansion will encounter a catastrophe, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

However, he also knew that it seemed that Yongping Mansion had been preparing for war, but a small Yongping Mansion, even Ji Town, had to act cautiously in the face of such a violent invasion of more than 100,000 Mongols, let alone a small one. Yongping Province?

   What can a few thousand strong people do?

   It is said that the Tongzhi of Yongping Mansion is still the son of the governor, but in the face of such a situation, I am afraid that the only choice is to take refuge and escape wisely.

  Thinking of this, Sun Zushou can only sigh, and only hope that the people of Yongping Prefecture will be blessed.

  ********

  You Shigong's face was gloomy, and he stood behind the desk with his hands behind his back.

   "Brother."

  You Shilu hesitated to speak.

   "Speak, you and my brother, what else can you say." You Shigong looked flat.

   "The Ministry of War suddenly stuffed these tens of thousands of gentlemen from the military camp over. This is obviously killing people with a knife. It's ridiculous that these Beijing camp gentlemen are all happy. Do you really think that the Mongols are vegetarians?"

  You Shilu gritted his teeth and said: "I don't even take a pee to take a picture. I think I can make a great contribution to seal my wife's shadow. I can't find a place to die."

  You Shigong seemed very indifferent. In this case, he had a tacit understanding with the Ministry of War. At least three months ago, he knew that the court, or the emperor, was going to attack the Beijing camp.

  The group of people in the Beijing camp, except for the Shenshu camp, who is probably arranged by the emperor now, the chief general Qiu Shiben and the gang of warriors in the Beijing camp are in the same situation.

  Although the governor is also from Wu Xun background, he seems to be different from the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes in the imperial court, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of governor.

"Don't make Jingying so unbearable. It is said that Shenjiying has won the championship every time in Beijing, and he is very excited." Speaking of this, You Shigong couldn't help but smile, it was really interesting .

The Beijing camp, which has not fought for decades, was actually coaxed out of Beijing by the two men from the Ministry of War. It is said that they have promised a lot of benefits. As long as they return to Beijing, everyone will be able to rise to the third level, and the rewards will be doubled. The gentlemen are also very poor in the capital city, so they have to risk their lives to eat puffer fish for a gamble.

   "Practice? You can defeat the Mongols by performing drills, so why do we need the frontier army?" You Shilu dismissively said, "It's just to coax these Beijing camp masters, so how do you plan to arrange it, big brother?"

"The army of the 140,000 Beijing battalion sent us 80,000 at once, hehe, I don't know how to use such a huge military force." You Shigong smiled, "Leading the fifth army battalion It is the deputy general Liu Guoquan, who is the cousin of Liu Fang, the head of the Liu family after Li Guogong. Characters with surnames, Shenji Battalion leads the deputy general is Mu Tianyan, a branch of the Mu family of Dong'an County, the two generals are Qiu Bingzhong from the Qiu family of Hou Jingtian, and Chen Ruishi, a descendant of the Duke of Qi's Chen family. Those of us who come from a poor family and cannot be offended, even the Governor-General will give a little face."

   "Brother?!" You Shilu asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by that?"

"I have also sent a letter to the governor. The governor's intention is to introduce the current situation to these Beijing camp lords, and ask them to listen to the pre-war preparations, and then list the situation, and ask them to give priority to defending. The place where the emperor is stationed."

  Yu Shigong's words surprised You Shilu, "They choose first, isn't the governor afraid of delaying the opportunity of the war?"

"Delaying the opportunity of the war?" A strange smile flashed across You Shigong's face, "How come, the troops in the Beijing camp are strong, so when we arrange it, we must arrange it well. It's best to ask them to be alone, with an army of 80,000, arrange one Where they think it is safe and relaxed, it is considered to have an explanation."

  You Shilu couldn't understand his brother's thoughts more and more. The emperor's intentions and the governor's subtle thoughts seemed to be considered by his elder brother. The people in the capital camp were not fools, so they would naturally seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So how to explain to the emperor?

  Seeing that his brother was puzzled, You Shigong didn't explain much. There is no need to explain these things to him, and he will naturally understand in the end.

   Seeing that his brother was unwilling to explain further, You Shilu stopped asking. He was more concerned about the Eastern Front, "Brother, has the news from the Eastern Front come back?"

"A few have come back, and there are still two routes that have not yet returned, but the situation may be similar. The eastern front is dominated by the Kalka tribes. At present, the fugitive army mountain line has appeared. It is said that it is close to Gushan and Xiongwotou. The scouts are still there. Searching, but the forces dispatched by the various tribes of Nekhka exceeded our expectations,..."

  You Shilu was taken aback, "Then what should we do?"

"What should I do?" You Shigong asked back: "Are you talking about Ziying's side? He has been with the governor for so many years, so he should have some knowledge. He has the judgment on where to defend and when to retreat. Yes, and Luo Yiguanbu can also help him contain it and buy him time."

   "But brother, you shouldn't keep a part of Luo Yiguan's camp." You Shilu hesitated before saying.

You Shigong sighed, "Third brother, do you know? Even so, I have already taken the risk. The Ministry of War has already decided to abandon the Yongping Line of Defense and informed Ziying. He should understand that Qian'an Guard Can't stop, Yongping prefecture has five counties and one prefecture, he only needs to keep Lu Long to be considered a victory, if he expects to defend all of them, he will only lose one of them, what can the young people do?"

You Shilu shook his head: "Brother, I think you may have misjudged this time. I have seen the training of those strong people, all equipped with firecrackers, and the training method is also very unique. It may not be as bad as you said. Maybe it will surprise us."

   "Oh?" You Shigong was a little skeptical, he knew that his brother would not just say something like this, "Do you have evidence?"

  You Shilu nodded, "Of course,..."

  After listening to You Shilu's introduction, You Shigong was skeptical. If so, there might be another choice for the Beijing camp's arrangement.
