Zhang Yanling and his team.

In addition to him, Wang Shouren and Jin Qi, the two thousand troops in the Beijing Troupe Camp are considered the mainstay.

Among the people from Jianchang Bo Mansion, only Nanlaise and a man named Nanjiu from the Nanzi Ban were brought along, which was considered to be a helping hand for him.

The group arrived at Juyongguan without any twists and turns.

No matter how fierce the Tatars are, they cannot threaten the safety of Juyongguan for the time being.

The group did not stop at Juyongguan, but left Juyongguan and headed straight towards Xuanfu.

After leaving Juyongguan.

You can immediately feel the sternness of the environment.

The Juyong Pass is still a prosperous place in the capital of Zhili, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. After leaving Juyong Pass, it is like entering the Gobi Desert. What you see along the way is basically a remaining fortress, and it is difficult to connect this place with a prosperous place less than a hundred miles away.

"Zhang Zhongcheng, let's hurry to Xuanfu. Maybe the Tatar cavalry will come to kill you at any time. I heard that their cavalry is coming without a trace..."

When the team was stationed twenty miles west of Bao'anzhou City, Song Mingshun, a thousand households in the Beijing camp, came to complain to Zhang Yanling.

The troops from Beijing followed Zhang Yanling to the place and looked very fierce.

Beat and kill without blinking.

But after arriving in the northwest, it suddenly seemed like he had changed from a hungry wolf to a little sheep, and they were all worried every day, fearing that they would be attacked by the Tatars when they were stationed at night.

It seems that the enemy has to escape.

Zhang Yong frowned and said, "Song Qianhu, I heard that you are a powerful general in the Beijing regiment camp. Why do you hear you are exaggerating these two days? The soldiers marched for a day, shouldn't they have a good rest? They can try to enter Xuanfu Town after night tomorrow..."

Song Mingshun said bitterly: "If there is no village or shop here, if there is really an enemy attack, it will be difficult to deal with it. In fact, it is better to go to the city at night and go a long way to get into the city. It is better to stay in the wild."

Zhang Yanling smiled and did not answer Song Mingshun's question head-on.

Instead, he looked at Wang Shouren who had been silent and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Junshu Wang?"

At first, Zhang Yanling called Wang Shouren "Brother Bo'an", but the status gap between the two was too big, so it was impossible to be a good match for calling him brothers. Later, Zhang Yanling gave him the title of military advisor.

This also makes people know the significance of Wang Shouren in his army.

Wang Shouren said: "At the speed of the marching today, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach the state city for less than two hours. It is better to stay here. Scouts will be more likely to be more likely to investigate than to sit and wait for death."

"It makes sense and it makes sense, so I think."

Zhang Yanling took out an attitude of "I knew you would say that long ago."

It seems that he and Wang Shouren are in a very consistent pace.

This makes people feel that Zhang Yanling is not at a very high level.

You can't even pretend...

Song Mingshun said: "But sir, if the Tartars really come to kill..."

At this time, he was not called "Zhongcheng", and seemed to only treat Zhang Yanling as an ordinary nobleman.

Zhang Yanling cursed: "Can you have some backbone? The Tatars were in a leapfrog, and even Datong Town was not in a hurry. This is the place of Xuanfu, and it is 108,000 miles away from Datong. How could a Tatars come? Even if they come, they must be scattered soldiers and brave men. They fight to the death. You don't even have this courage?"

Song Mingshun was taught a lesson by Zhang Yanling so much that he had nothing to say.

He dared not contradict him.

After all, Zhang Yanling is the head coach.

Of course, he would also think that Zhang Yanling was not good enough and had a bad temper.

Who would like to follow such a coach?

"Sleep, rest early, let the soldiers take turns to watch and patrol, and they will march again tomorrow!"

Zhang Yanling looked very tired and drove everyone out of his tent.

...

...

No "big thing" happened that night.

But it was still in a panic.

In the middle of the night, they were awakened by a noise for no reason. The soldiers thought that the enemy was coming, and some were ready to escape to Juyong Pass, but were told that the horses were frightened only because they were frightened at night...

Not only are people in a panic, but even the animals seem to be infected by the fear of being so scared that they are uneasy at night.

By the dawn the next day, Zhang Yanling seemed to sleep soundly, and others were not in such good condition.

Many of the soldiers have panda eyes.

However, it was already dusty because of the successive marches, and everyone looked like a gray ball.

"It's not good, I hope it's raining!"

Zhang Yanling ordered troops to be sent.

But he was really convinced by his "crow's mouth".

It started to rain that morning, and the way to Xuanfu became muddy.

Because there are still a lot of military food, materials, etc. in the army, the marching speed is even slower. I was originally saying that I would enter Xuanfu Zhenguan City that day, but I am afraid that I may not be able to arrive until the second half of the night.

"This is where the Oirats once invaded the land. Many ancient castles around were damaged at that time and have not been rebuilt yet. If it is delayed, it may be difficult to solve the problem when the Tatars attack."

When Wang Shouren had a break at noon, he felt something was wrong and ran to Zhang Yanling to explain the situation.

Zhang Yanling said: "Mr. Wang means to go out with light clothes? I don't want the food, grass and supplies I brought? Is it lost on the spot?"

Wang Shouren refused to answer.

He never had any experience in leading troops, but just thought that it would change later on.

If the duration of the march is delayed, it is easy to encounter changes.

Was the Tumu Fort change back then due to repeated delays and changes in the marching date?

"There is no choice. I brought a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so I could only go slowly. At worst, I could replace a group of new soldiers in Xuanfu, and maybe I could arrive in Datong before the deadline stipulated by His Majesty."

When Zhang Yanling said this, he deliberately let Song Mingshun and several generals of the Beijing camp hear it.

These people felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

But it is still unwise to face Zhang Yanling directly, so I can only swallow my anger.

But this could have inspired the aura in their hearts, and it would not be forced to do anything, because Zhang Yanling himself knew that it was a fantasy to go to war with the Beijing camp people who lacked practical experience.

...

...

The march that day was not delayed.

Until the second half of the night, until the time when people were trapped and almost everyone could not walk, the Xuanfu Pass was finally in sight.

As the governor of the Xuanfu, Liu Daxia sent troops to pick him up. Even so, he was really shocked by the people in the Jing camp and almost thought that it was the Tatars who came to kill him.

Fortunately, according to Zhang Yanling's instructions, he sent cavalry to respond in advance. The two sides communicated so that the situation would not occur when their own troops encountered each other late at night.

Xuanfu.

As the most critical barrier in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

Xuanfu has no north city gates, only a large number of gates with guards in the south. It is actually difficult for foreign troops to enter, but as the new Xuanda General System, Zhang Yanling is not a problem to enter the city.

Xuanfu has always been the storage place for the Ming Dynasty in the northwest.

As the governor of the Xuanfu, Liu Daxia was doing the task of managing food and wages at this time, but if Zhang Yanling had not helped him, he would not have made great achievements in the northwest.
