Chapter 249 Startled in the middle of the night
Fang Xingzhen had never slept on the ground when he came to this world. After a night, he got up with soreness in his back, but saw that Xiaodao had already brought all the washing water.
Fang Xing looked at Xiaodao's messy hair and said, "Go back and wash it clean."
Xiaodao left with a smile, and then he soaked the towel in water.
"hiss……"
The cold and biting water suddenly turned Fang Xing's hands red. He quickly finished washing up and then went to the outside room.
Fang Wu from the outside was already waiting. After seeing him, Fang Xing nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, how was it last night?"
Fang Wu's eyes were a little red and he said, "Young Master, yesterday we searched around the Khahu Fort ten miles, but no trace of the Oirats were found."
As he said that, he handed over a map of the surrounding tiger castle, and said embarrassedly: "Young Master, because time is too tight, it's a bit sloppy."
Fang Xing took it and saw that it was as expected, mostly in plains, with nowhere to hide soldiers.
"Go and have a rest."
Fang Xing put away the map and walked out with Fang Wu.
Walking out of the earthen house, Fang Xing was shivering after being cold, then looked up at the gloomy sky and frowned: "It seems there is still snow!"
Fang Wu wanted to accompany Fang Xing to patrol, but he drove him away.
After a long journey, there was a fixed territory, which made the soldiers burst into great enthusiasm.
"Does go!"
Fang Xing flashed to the side and saw several soldiers walking towards him carrying a large piece of wood.
"Everyone hurry up, I'm still waiting for the wood to work here!"
Zhu Fang appeared. Along the way, he only cared about leading his men to repair the damaged animal cart. Now he has a place to use it and is extremely energetic.
After seeing Fang Xing, Zhu Fang bowed and said, "Young Master, can you transfer some soldiers to help me?"
Fang Xing’s plan was to build two hundred small catapults, so he said, “You go to Lao Qi and say it’s what I said, let him cooperate with you with all his strength.”
Zhu Fang happily went to find Xin Laoqi, but woke up on the city wall, took out a telescope and observed the surroundings.
There are white and yellow patches around, white snow and yellow grass.
"Young Master, you must have suffered a disaster on the grassland this year!"
Xiaodao touched Fang Xing's back at some point, and then pointed to the distance and said, "Young master, the Oirats will come here to grab things when they are affected by the disaster. They will definitely not dare to come this year."
The Ming Dynasty is about to begin the northern expedition, and coming to Caogu is to die.
Fang Xing turned around and said, "Your Majesty should be ready to go... I don't know when it will arrive."
The army travel is completely different from a small army like Fang Xing. Fang Xing is expected to be able to reach Xinghe in three months.
Three thousand households also came with Wang He at this time. As soon as he came up, Wang He surrounded the film between his neck and shivered.
Lin Qun'an rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Fang, the Oirats must be in panic all day long."
Meng Jiao seemed energetic after sleeping all night. He said regretfully: "What a pity, otherwise our army would snipe the Oirats here, and they would also let the ungrateful wolves along the way see our strength!"
Wang He bent his knees so that the area where his body was exposed to the wind was smaller. He glared at this and said, "When His Majesty's army is launched, how dare Mahamu peek into the south?"
Fang Xing also felt that Mahamu did not dare to spy on the south side.
After being beaten by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, Alutai had already agreed to send "strong" cavalry to participate in the northern expedition and was willing to be a vanguard.
This is a replica of the previous Northern Expedition. Last time, the Ming Dynasty jointly attacked Alutai with Mahamu, but this time the Ming Dynasty changed an ally.
What is the relationship between countries? That’s it!
But it is very difficult to grasp the force in the middle!
If Mahamu is completely defeated, Alutai will take the opportunity to unify the grassland and then become a wild wolf with a more vicious head than Mahamu.
But Ola is a big concern after all!
Fang Xing always stubbornly believed that the Oirats were the great trouble for the future of the Ming Dynasty, at least in the generation of Zhu Zhanji's son.
Fang Xing, who couldn't think of a result, asked someone to go to Xinghebao to inquire and get some raw materials for gunpowder.
There is basically nothing to do when awakening below. Every day, I send scouts to search for enemies around me. However, after searching for several consecutive days, I couldn’t even find horse manure.
After doing nothing for several days, Fang Xing felt that his body had recovered from warmth, so he took a team of scouts out to hunt.
Zhang Yu from Xinghe Fort obviously did not have this interest. He was frowning and said to his subordinates: "I originally wanted to get some Oirats before His Majesty arrived, but unfortunately Mahamu is a coward!"
Yu Sanhuo yawned and said, "Sir, let's take care of Xinghe honestly. When His Majesty defeats Mahamu, he will naturally have a contribution."
Zhao Xinbang was also a little sluggish. Some time ago, the Ola people were tempted by the surrounding areas, which made everyone feel very nervous. As soon as they loosened, they felt like they ran from Jinling City to Peiping Prefecture, and something was wrong.
Seeing that his subordinates were all listless, Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "It's all gone, remember to scatter the scouts."
Scouts are the eyes of an army and are also the key factor in determining the outcome of a war.
Zhao Xinbang suddenly asked, "Sir, will those Oirats come to attack us?"
Zhang Yu said disdainfully: "Your Majesty sent hundreds of thousands of troops, and it would make people feel cold this day. Is he so brave?"
...
Fang Xing, who came back from hunting, was very unhappy, because there was no other reason.
"That's just something?"
Wang He waited for Fang Xing's prey to come back to grill, but when he saw the yellow sheep, he couldn't help licking his lips and said regretfully.
Fang Xing also felt bored, so he threw his prey to his servants, and then sat comfortably on the chair created by Zhu Fang.
"There are not even birds in this weather. I finally caught a few yellow sheep, but unfortunately I lost a little."
As a result, most of these yellow sheep were given to the wounded in the end, and Fang Xing had no choice but to get a bowl of broth.
Since the chef did not add the ingredients to remove the fishy smell, Fang Xing drank the broth with his nose.
However, after a bowl of broth, I woke up at night and slept very comfortably until I was woken up by a rush knock on the door.
Fang Xing stood up with the quilt and shouted, "Who?"
"Young Master, I discovered the Oirats!"
Hearing Fang Wu's voice, Fang Xing quickly put on his clothes, then opened the door and let him and Xiaodao come in.
Xiaodao looked a little purple when his face looked a little blue, Fang Xing hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle of white wine for him.
"Drink!"
Xiaodao killed half of it in one bite, then licked his mouth and said, "Master, I discovered the Oirat cavalry."
“How many people?”
Fang Xing signaled Fang Wu to call someone, and then continued to listen to Xiaodao talk about the situation.
"There is only me and another brother over there, so I dare not get too close. But looking at the torches at intervals, I guess there are at least a thousand people."
Fang Xing had finished sorting it out and stood up and asked, "Which direction did they go?"
"The east side... is not here."
"East?"
Fang woke up and rushed out, just in time to see the officers summoned.
