915, The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
Early the next morning, Yang Fan got up on time and stretched out.
I didn't sleep well last night. I'm always a little crazy. I stayed up most of the night, yelled and disturbed people's dreams. It's really annoying.
As for what happened last night, Yang Fan didn't intend to ask about it.
The opportunity has been given to you. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your ability.
If you bring 20,000 people here and can't get a business group, then you are a bunch of shit.
Waste is not worthy of sympathy. Adults only screen and do not change.
If you can't do it, move aside quickly.
When Yang Fan was sitting at the breakfast table, Zhang Shize reluctantly opened the door of the tent and walked in. Yang Fan was addicted to the breakfast here. He couldn't eat the breakfast cooked by the cook in the military camp.
Zhang Shize was not polite. He first brought over a cage of steaming soup-filled dumplings. He then asked the orderly to serve a bowl of raw beef porridge and four small pickles. Xili started eating it loudly.
Yang Fan took a look and saw that this guy obviously hadn't slept well either. He had dark circles under his eyes.
It was really noisy last night.
"Damn it, these bastard things have been causing trouble all night. I didn't sleep well all night." Zhang Shize carefully took a small bite of the bun with his mouth, sucked out the hot soup, and blew out the hot soup.
, while complaining.
"Me too, it makes me feel uncomfortable when I wake up in the morning." Yang Fan said helplessly.
"Just watch them fight. If a few third- and fourth-grade ones die, we will also have to suffer."
Yang Fan took a sip of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, put down the spoon, and said: "Those old men, as they grow older, will not make it difficult for us. They will not touch those people sent by the emperor. Last night, it seemed that the fight was lively
.Actually, those who died were the people brought in by the secrets of both parties.”
Zhang Shize said: "These two groups of people are bastards. They came with so many people behind our backs. This time the civilians sent from Shanxi to conquer 13 counties, more than 18,000 people. They came from South Zhili
There are 20,000 people there. Do they think this is a place where villagers fight with each other?"
Yang Fan finished the porridge, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, took a sip of boiled water and said: "Actually, have you ever thought about it, it was a good thing that Zhangjiakou was razed. Whether it was Shanxi merchants or Donglin
.We cannot trust Zhangjiakou Fort. It is an important node in our logistics line. We are not at ease if we hand it over to anyone."
"Yes, the power of these business groups is too great, and there is some confusion between them and Jiannu. To be honest, I have been worried about this place. This time we go on an expedition, and the troops are in danger. If something happens later,
Problem, but it’s over.”
"So, it's best to let them expose themselves, so we can see clearly who among the civilians have sneaked in. Since they are so capable of fighting, let's give them a chance on the battlefield and let them have a good fight with the Tumuts.
Fight. Otherwise, such an elite manpower would be in vain."
Zhang Shize raised his thumb and said: "If you want to talk about evil, I will obey you even if you don't support the wall. Okay, 40,000 people. We have the cannon fodder to attack the city. The Beijing camp should die less, and I can explain to His Majesty when I go back.
He only has this little capital, and if the loss is too big, he is a man who wants to save face. He will not say anything, but he will definitely hold a grudge in his heart."
Yang Fan smiled and asked himself to take care of it. Zhang Shize is simply an Internet otaku from later generations, with all kinds of trendy words coming out of his mouth.
There are actually 40,000 people out of 100,000 people who have sneaked in. No one knows what they are going to do except themselves. This is a big hidden danger.
They must be separated separately and watched along the way. When they arrive on the battlefield, these ulterior motives must be consumed first. Otherwise, Yang Fan will not be able to sleep well.
Zhang Shize and Yang Fan looked at each other, they both had this plan in mind.
Neither the Jin Party nor Donglin can be trusted. They both have conflicts of interest with the nobles. If they didn't have some conspiracy, how could they have so many people mixing in the ranks of civilians.
Yang Fan did it on purpose this time.
I just want to try to see how deep the water is in Minfu. After all, all the baggage is transported there. I don’t know the situation there clearly, but I don’t worry.
It is a thousand miles from the capital to Guihua City. Any discrepancy in the transportation line in the middle will be fatal. Yang Fan knows something about Donglin's thoughts. They just want to take the military power into their hands. If they can't take it back, then
Just destroy it.
How did the Jingkang Incident in the Northern Song Dynasty come about? How was the Western Army wiped out by the Jin soldiers? It was because someone in the court was causing trouble and kept leaking top-secret military information to the Jin soldiers.
Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty conquered Jiaozhi and failed miserably. Someone also tipped off the people of Jiaozhi.
If Yang Fan can trust them, trust a ghost.
The emperor just thought that Yang Fan's family should not be allowed to dominate, and he wanted to check and balance Yang Fan. He did not expect that these grandsons were all evil-minded. They were capable of doing anything.
They were even happier when the entire Beijing camp was wiped out. An elite army in the hands of the emperor was the last thing they wanted to see. The emperor turned into a tiger with its teeth pulled out and could only rely on their money, food and troops.
What they want.
The more important reason is that Yang Fan knows that this winter, the Jiannu will break through the Great Wall and invade the pass. At this time, the business group has planted more than 18,000 people among the people. What do they want to do? The two families have already colluded.
And it's very deep.
Do they also hope that Jingying has gone to Hetao and will not come back?
After all, the Beijing camp also poses a great threat to Huang Taiji.
This is also one of the reasons why Yang Fan is disappointed with Chongzhen. The structure is really not good. He picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. If he is an official at Yang Fan's level, he can't do it without a big picture, but Chongzhen will definitely not be able to do it without a big picture. Because he holds in his hand
It is a country and the fate of 20 million people.
Dong Lin and the business group each have their own plans and different purposes. However, they are definitely not here to help Yang Fan. They are definitely not so kind.
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize started plotting at the dinner table, how to deal with these 40,000 people of unknown origin. No matter what their purpose was, it was good as long as they did not waste human resources.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, Yang Fan beat drums to gather the generals and announced that a regiment of 3,600 people would be left to guard Zhangjiakou Fort. The rest of the army continued to march.
After Yang Fan finished making arrangements for the expedition, the heads of the business group came to ask for an audience.
"You stay and rebuild the shop. Well, I will support this. If you need anything, just ask. I will let the remaining group cooperate with you."
After seeing off the old men of the business group, the censor and civil servants also came.
"What, many of you are sick. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll ask the military doctor to take a good look at you."
"Recuperate for a few days, it's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. Leave three thousand people behind. Well, well, there are so many of you and we really need some manpower. When you are almost recovered, take the people and rush to Guihua City as soon as possible to meet up."
When Yang Fan opened his eyes and told lies to them, Zhang Shize looked up at the sky.
It's really blue today. The wind and snow have stopped, the temperature has warmed up, and it's even a bit civilized. We need to set off quickly, because it will be difficult to rush when the ice and snow melt, and there will be mud and water all the way.
