One hundred and eighty-seventh chapter of the character scroll (2)
"..., judging from the current situation, it is as expected that it is the fifth inner Khalkha tribe. Yang Er saw the flag of the Hongji tribe. If it is not as expected, the guy in fur should be Zaisai...
, Zoliktuhunbaturu of the Uziyet tribe also appeared. If these two people appear, it means that the main force of the entire five inner Khalkha tribes has been exhausted..."
Sun Zushou’s tone was gloomy, and the situation was very unfavorable. The force of the Mongols on the East Route was stronger than originally expected.
"..., the one who fell at the end should be the Horqin Division, with about 5,000 people, but they were all light cavalry, almost one man and two cavalry, and they always kept a certain distance from the five Inner Khalkha troops. They carried
The food and grass supplies are far less than those in Inner Khalkha. I don’t know why..."
Sun Zushou frowned when he heard his subordinates introducing the situation.
"It seems that the rumors about the discord between the five inner Khalkha tribes and the Horqin tribe are true. It stands to reason that the Horqin tribe is no longer willing to listen to the orders of the Chahar people, but this time they are still dispatched. There may still be Donglu here.
I'm making trouble, but I need to report this situation clearly to the Commander-in-Chief when I go back,..."
"Sir, we found that the five Inner Khalkha tribes were traveling very fast and seemed to be very familiar with the path. Our subordinates discovered that they had split lanes in the Bai Shulin area on the right bank of the Qinglong River without any hesitation and directly chose the right path.
In addition, the locations of the various campsites are also very thoughtful, and the locations of the sentry posts should have been carefully arranged. How could the Five Inner Khalkha Corps be so familiar with the terrain here?"
A subordinate was a little confused and confused.
Sun Zushou also felt heavy in his heart, "Maybe he is from Chahar..."
"Sir, the Chahar people have always invaded more from the Tuhutong and Jialingkou side, or from the watershed and Da'ankou side. My subordinates have also checked the records in recent years. When did the Chahar people move to the west?
It’s not too long, and Mongolians have rough temperaments. It’s difficult for my subordinates to achieve such precision..."
Sun Zushou nodded silently.
He also knew that what he just said was unreasonable. The Mongolians may be familiar with route selection, which may be justified, but it seems unreasonable to consider such aspects as water sources, campsites, and sentries in such detail, unless
The Mongols changed their style, but it did not happen overnight.
He also tends to be the Jurchen of Jianzhou.
But this also proves from the side that the imperial court is right to regard the Jianzhou Jurchens as their biggest concern. The Mongols only bring a while of trouble, at most it is of a certain degree, but if they give the Jianzhou Jurchens an opportunity, it will definitely be
deadly.
"Let's ignore these situations for the time being and explain our respective situations clearly. Yang Er and I will continue to stay in the mountains. Zhou Quan, you take these situations back and report them to the adults immediately. Be careful not to omit anything. You are now
Retell all the situations again to see if there are any mistakes or omissions..."
Another short and stocky man did not refuse and nodded to accept the order: "Okay. First, the situation of the five Inner Khalkha divisions is as follows..."
When the man named Zhou Quan finished his narration, Sun Zushou added a few more words, and then told him to return immediately.
“Sir, how should I meet you after my subordinates report?” Zhou Quan couldn’t help but ask.
“Well, it is estimated that the Mongols will have broken through the border by then. We will see the situation at that time. If the Mongols still want to retreat from the original route, we will discuss it again.”
Sun Zushou was very aware of the Ji Zhen army's defense situation at the Fengsui Pass. If a small group of three to five hundred Mongolians could still fight, if an army of tens of thousands invaded, all the camps on the southern foot of the mountain would have to gather together.
It is simply impossible to stop an invasion of such a large scale if we group together and look for an opportunity to fight.
In other words, it was inevitable that Yongping Mansion would encounter a disaster, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he also knew that Yongping Prefecture had been preparing for war, but a small Yongping Prefecture, Lianji Town, faced with such a violent invasion of more than 100,000 Mongolian troops, had to act cautiously, let alone a small small town.
Yongping Mansion?
What can a few thousand people do?
It is said that the Tongzhi of Yongping Prefecture is the son of the Governor-General, but in the face of such a situation, I am afraid that the only wise choice is to take refuge and escape.
Thinking of this, Sun Zushou could only sigh and pray that the people of Yongping Prefecture would be happy for themselves.

You Shigong's face was gloomy, and he stood behind the desk with his hands behind his hands.
“Big brother.”
You Shilu was about to speak but stopped.
“Tell me, brothers and sisters, what else can you say that’s not good to say?” You Shigong’s expression was dull.
“The Ministry of War suddenly crowded in these tens of thousands of military camp gentlemen. This is obviously killing someone with a borrowed knife. It’s ridiculous that these Beijing camp gentlemen are all so happy. Do they really think that the Mongolians are vegetarians?”
You Shilu gritted his teeth and said: "You don't even urinate and take a photo, but you still think you can make a great contribution and seal your wife's shadow. You can't find a place even if you die."
You Shigong seemed very indifferent. He had already had a tacit understanding with the Ministry of War about this situation. At least three months ago, he knew that the imperial court, or the emperor, was going to take action against the Beijing camp.
Except for Shenshu Ying, which was probably arranged by the emperor now, the general Qiu Shiben and the martial arts gang in the Jingying camp are on the same level. This point the governor briefly mentioned to him about the grievances and grievances among them.
Although the Governor-General also had a martial arts background, he seemed to be a different person from the four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes in the imperial court, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of Governor-General.
"Don't speak so unfavorably of Jingying. It is said that Shenji Battalion wins every time they perform in Jingzhong, and they are very proud." Having said this, You Shigong couldn't help but smile. It was indeed interesting.
.
The Jingying camp, which had not fought for decades, was actually coaxed out of the capital by the two men from the Ministry of War. It was said that they were promised a lot of benefits. As long as everyone returned to the capital, everyone would be promoted to three levels and the rewards would be doubled. I guess the Jingying gang
The gentlemen in the capital city are also afraid of poverty, so they risk their lives to eat puffer fish.
"Drill? We can defeat the Mongols just by drilling, so what do we, the border troops, need to do?" You Shilu dismissed it, "It's just to coax these princes from the capital. So, brother, what are you going to do?"
"The 140,000-strong Beijing Army sent us 80,000 people at once. Haha, I don't know how to use such a huge military force." You Shigong smiled half-heartedly, "The fifth military camp led the team.
He is the deputy general Liu Guoquan, who is the cousin of Liu Fang, the head of the Liu family after Li Guoguo. The two generals are Xie Xian of the Xie family of Dingchenghou and Han Shangyu of the Bo Han family of Jinxiang. The two guerrillas are also famous.
For the characters with surnames, the deputy general leading the Shenji Battalion is Mu Tianyan, a branch of the Mu family of the King of Dong'an County. The two generals are Qiu Bingzhong from the Qiu family of Marquis Jingtian, and Chen Ruishi, a descendant of the Chen family of Duke of Qi. Look, each of them is
We are untouchable people who come from humble backgrounds, even the Governor-General has to give us a bit of a thumbs down."
“Brother?!” You Shilu asked in confusion: “What do you mean by that?”
"I have also written to the Governor. His purpose is to introduce the current situation to these Beijing camp gentlemen, and also ask them to listen to the preparations before the war, and then list the situation and ask them to give priority to defense.
The place where the emperor is stationed."
You Shigong's words shocked You Shilu, "They give priority to the choice. Aren't you afraid of delaying the war opportunity?"
"Delaying the opportunity to fight?" A strange smile flashed across You Shigong's face, "How could it be possible? The troops in the Beijing camp are strong, so naturally we have to make arrangements when we make arrangements. It is best to ask them to take charge of themselves. With an army of 80,000, we must arrange a
What they think is safe and easy is an explanation."
You Shilu couldn't understand his brother's thoughts more and more. His elder brother seemed to have considered the emperor's intentions and the governor's subtle thoughts. The people in the Beijing camp were not fools. They would naturally seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So how should they explain it to the emperor?
Seeing that his brother was confused, You Shigong didn't explain much. There was no need to explain these things to him. He would understand them in the end.
Seeing that his brother was unwilling to explain more, You Shilu stopped asking more questions. He was more concerned about the Eastern Front, "Brother, has the news from the Eastern Front come back?"
"Some have come back, and there are still two groups that have not returned yet, but the situation may be similar. The eastern front is dominated by the Inner Khalkha tribes. Currently, there are people on the deserted army mountain line. It is said that they are close to the Gushan and Xiongwotou areas, and the scouts are still there.
Search, but the troops dispatched by the Inner Kalkha tribes exceeded our previous expectations..."
You Shilu was taken aback, "What should we do?"
"What should we do?" You Shigong asked back: "Are you talking about Ziying's side? He has been following the Governor for so many years, so he should have some knowledge. He has the ability to judge where to defend and when to retreat.
Yes, and Luo Yibu can also help contain him and buy him time."
“But brother, you shouldn’t leave part of Luo Yiguan’s camp behind.” You Shilu hesitated before saying.
You Shigong sighed, "Lao San, do you know? Even so, I have already taken the risk. The Ministry of War has already decided to abandon the Yongping defense line and notified Ziying. He should understand that moving to An
No matter how hard it is, there are five counties and one state in Yongping Prefecture. He only needs to protect Lulong to be considered a victory. If he expects to protect them all, he will not be able to protect any of them. What can the people do?"
You Shilu shook his head: "Brother, I think you may have misjudged this time. I have seen the training of those Minzhuang, all equipped with firecrackers, and the training methods are also very unique. They may not be as bad as you said.
Maybe it will give us an unexpected surprise."
"Oh?" You Shigong was a little skeptical. He knew that his brother would not say anything like this. "Do you have any evidence?"
You Shilu nodded, "Of course,..."
After listening to You Shilu's introduction, You Shigong was hesitant. If so, there might be another option for the arrangements in Beijing.
