Since Zhang Wanbang is a coward, he obviously will not just rely on Jinghua's fleet to observe the number of people in the flower frying department in the river. Instead, he will send a group of people who do not harvest at night soon after returning to Dongchang Fort.
Jinghua sent a boat to quietly send them to the north of the Liao River to investigate the enemy's situation. Jinghua was obliged to do so, and arrangements were quickly made.
As the name suggests, Ye Bu Sui are elite scout horses that can move at night. It is certain that they do not suffer from night blindness, and agility and agility are also essential qualities. This group of Ye Bu Sui relied on the cover of the rainy night to find out the enemy's situation ahead before midnight.
The Chaohua Department sent more than 10,000 troops and set up camp thirty miles north of the Liao River. It may be because they suffered a very useless defeat in the evening. The atmosphere in the entire camp was a bit depressing. It is unclear whether there will be more troops sent out tomorrow.
signs.
What's even more coincidental is that on the way back, one of the night guards met the sentry from the Flower Speculation Department. There were only three people in this team. Taking advantage of their safe retreat, the night guards attacked them.
, as a result, two prisoners were killed and one was killed, and the important news was learned from the prisoners: "The Khan of Tumen sent about 10,000 troops."
When the news came back to Dongchang Fort, it was close to dawn on the second day. After Zhang Wanbang, who was sleeping in his clothes, was woken up, he carefully inquired about the investigation situation and immediately sent people to Haizhou and Gaizhou to send military information.
Then begins his defense arrangements.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. When the news reached Gaozhou where Gao Qingshi was at the fastest speed without changing people, it was already that night - the straight-line distance between Dongchang Fort and Gaizhou is about 120 meters.
It's about ten miles, but in fact there is definitely no completely straight line to go, so this speed is already very fast.
Tumen and Chaohua teamed up to march south to southern Liaoning with an army of 20,000 and had already arrived north of the Liao River near Dongchang Fort?
Gao Pingshi couldn't help but be slightly surprised: In the year when Li Chengliang attacked Gule Village in the original history, Tumen and Chaohua didn't seem to attack Liaonan, right? In other words, this incident was caused by my little wings.
, it’s even possible that the people are coming to me?
It seems that my judgment about Tumen before the Monan War was very accurate. This nominal Great Khan of All Mongolia took his own face very seriously. He definitely had the intention of going south to plunder, but it was very difficult.
Maybe he also wants to seek revenge on Monan from me.
Huh, I picked a good time.
"Come here, go and invite Governor Ma. Ma Shenrong is here to discuss matters." Gao pragmatically ordered the servants.
After officials of the Ming Dynasty became official, their original official position was similar to an honorary position, which is roughly the same as that of later generations of leading cadres who still enjoyed certain benefits while in office after retirement. Before Ma Fang became an official, he was the former military governor's office with the title of Zuo Dudu.
He had the seal of chief military officer of the Xuanfu, so Gao Jingshi called him Captain Ma when he invited him to discuss military affairs.
This can probably be regarded as the prudence that has become a habit of high pragmatism.
Not long after, the father and son of the Ma family came together. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Gao Pragmatic standing up and apologizing to Ma Fang: "It is the fault of the younger generation for delaying the governor's dinner."
The rules of the Gao family's servants are very strict. Ma Fang and his son didn't get any news from the servant who invited them just now, so they were a little confused at first. It wasn't until Gao Jingshi said "Captain" that he knew it must be
There is a military situation.
Ma Dong glanced at his father subconsciously, but saw that Ma Fang's face was as usual, and he just smiled and replied: "What's the delay? They are all faded things, which are hard to swallow. It's better to come and listen to Bing Xian talk about military affairs."
...To be honest, I still like to hear this."
Gao pragmatic laughed and said: "The governor is joking, please take a seat."
Ma Fang took the guest seat, while Ma Dong honestly sat where his subordinates should sit.
Then Ma Fang said: "If I am right as I expected, it must be that Chao Hua is dishonest?"
Gao Pragmatic was not surprised that Ma Fang had such a strategic vision. He nodded and smiled and said: "The governor expected it, but it's not just fried flowers, but also Tumen."
This sentence seemed to make Ma Fang a little surprised. He frowned and said: "Tumen? This guy suffered a lot of losses in the Monan War, but he can still send troops to Liaonan?"
Gao pragmatic smiled and said half-jokingly: "Does the Governor suspect that the results of the Monan War are false?"
This Ma Fang didn't dare, and said hurriedly: "Bing Xian is overly worried, and I have absolutely no intention of doing so. I'm just curious. Judging from Tumen's losses in the Monan War, he should really be a cat for a few years.
You should just rest and recuperate well, how could you continue to raise troops like this... This is really a self-destructive move."
Gao pragmatic smiled, but said nothing. He just looked at Ma Dong and asked, "What does Brother Chongzhai think?"
"Asked by the military constitution." Ma Dong said politely first, and then thought for a moment before saying: "General, I think there are two reasons: one is that Tumen has suffered serious losses this time, and there is a serious shortage of supplies for winter preparation this year, and there is no other way to think of it.
, so I want to come to southern Liaoning for a tooth ceremony; the second is to take advantage of the opportunity. At present, General Li has sent troops to Gule Village. I heard that they have entered the mountains and may not be able to return to central Liaoning for a while. The Tumen may think this is an opportunity.
."
Not only was Gao Pragmatic very satisfied with Ma Dong's words, but Ma Fang was also very surprised. She turned around and looked at him carefully for a while, nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Gao pragmatically nodded and said: "What Brother Chongzhai said coincides with what I am thinking. I wonder if Brother Chongzhai has any tips to teach me when facing this situation?"
Ma Dong repeatedly said that he did not dare, and then asked: "I wonder if you have ever found out how many troops these two horses have sent out? Where are they now?"
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Zhang Sanxi (Zhang Wanbang, also known as Sanxi) has roughly found out that Tumen has sent about 10,000 troops, and the fried flowers seem to be a little more, about 12,000. The military situation this morning is that the fried flowers are for
The front group has arrived at Dongchangbao and is camped thirty miles north of the Liao River. Tumen Chahar's group is the rear group, and its current location is still unclear."
After that, he informed Ma Fang, Ma Dong and his son about the brief war on the banks of the Liao River.
When Ma Dong heard that the Jinghua fleet actually had artillery warfare capabilities, he was extremely surprised and said with a smile: "If this is the case, our defense line on the Liao River is solid. Even if the Tartars have 20,000 cavalry this time, it will be difficult for them to do anything to me."
Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows slightly: "Brother Chongzhai, what you mean is that we relied on our water advantage to prevent the two soldiers from crossing the Liao River. Once the cold winter is approaching, they will be worried about their own winter, and can only retreat sadly?
"
Somehow, after Ma Dong heard Gao Pingshi's words, he always felt that Gao Bingxian was not satisfied with this. He couldn't help but hesitate a little and said hesitantly: "If we just stick to Liaonan, I will eventually think...that's roughly it."
Unexpectedly, before Gao Pragmatic opened his mouth, Ma Fang couldn't help but shook his head: "Let me just say that you don't have enough courage... Oh, now you have more 'little', but you are really not courageous enough. Why?
In our land of southern Liaoning, they can come here in a show of force if they want to come, and they can leave freely and freely if they want to leave?
People are wielding knives right under your nose, but you still think that as long as your knife can't reach me, I will let you run wild? What a joke! You idiots dare to wield knives at me, why can't I?
You got a gun?
Military constitution, with my old will, it is useless to just defend it, I have to beat them, I have to beat them until they hurt, and if they are scared, they will not dare to look at me in the future!"
