Wang Tong asked in a deep voice, Li Tao did not hesitate and immediately replied:

"The emperor issued an order to the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Ministry of War to write.

"Since it is Your Majesty's will. I will ask for justice again. What do you think about His Majesty?"

When Li Tao heard Wang Tong's rhetoric, he was anxious and took two steps closer and gritted his teeth and said:

"Brother, we have only 4,000 people here. Isn't this a situation of dying when we go to the grassland to face the thousands of horses and horses? Brother, you often say that fighting for the Ming Dynasty is our duty, but if you want to die like this, you have to think about the thousands of brothers below!"

Wang Tong's face darkened, stared at Li Tao and asked:

"I have accepted the order, what should I think about it??

"I delayed for a while, and my elder brother submitted a memorial to Your Majesty, and Hutou also wrote memorials. Your Majesty may be deceived. Let's explain the matter clearly. If the three routes come out together, they should come out together. You must not let Huwei Camp go out as bait!"

Li Tao's face turned red. Wang Tong looked at Li Tao, but sighed and said:

"In the martial arts hall, Sun Xin is the most calm. You are a general and know the best way of the world. You don't have to say these words tonight, nor should you say them. I'm afraid you will leave first when you write to your family. Anyway, I don't think so, because I think about the relationships in various places, and you can't do anything about it afterwards, but you still come over to tell me clearly, which means that you are thinking about us all and for the sake of Huwei Camp."

Wang Tong said this to Li Tao. After all, Li Tao was young and was a little stunned, his eyes were a little red. He rubbed it with his hands and said with a little choking:

"Brother, we are so loyal to our work, but we are so unfair to us. We can tolerate it in our daily life, but this is going."

He couldn't even speak, but Wang Tong sat there all the time, but he slowly stood up and said in a stern voice:

"Li Tao, I often tell you, what are we in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Brother said that we are military men of the Ming Dynasty and soldiers of His Majesty

"Soldiers take obedience as their duty!".

Wang Tong said this sentence firmly, his face full of solemnity. Li Tao was stunned for a moment, his face became redder and redder. He stood attentively and hit his chest with his right punch, and said in a solemn voice:

"Since that's the case, Li Tao is willing to follow the adults' birth and death to serve the country

After saying that, he clasped his fists and said again:

"Brother, that little brother will go back to Yingpan first. Let the family members who are sending the letter go back and make some preparations in advance."

Before he could move, he was stopped by Wang Tong. Wang Tong smiled on his face and said:

"Lizi, do you think we have such a great advantage when we go out of the frontier alone and go deep into the enemy's territory. This time we go there is a big disaster for us!?

Li Tao was a little puzzled why Wang Tong asked this, but his expression showed that it was true. Wang Tong shook his head and said:

"You think it's a big disaster, but I think it's a big success

After saying this, Li Tao was a little confused. Wang Tong didn't say much, but just reminded him:

"Go back and have a good rest. I will take you out well. Of course, I will take you back well. Don't worry, don't spread what you say tonight.

Li Tao was originally worried and indignant, but after leaving, he looked puzzled. He didn't know why Wang Tong was so confident, let alone the shock in his heart, "Soldiers regard obedience as their duty!"", Li Tao felt deeply engraved in his heart.

On the morning of the 17th day of the 12th lunar month, a noise began to arise in the Huwei Camp. Under the leadership and supervision of the officers, the soldiers began to pack up the tents and carry the weights, carry the supplies and put them on the carriage.

There were 240 large trucks full of food, fodder and equipment. In addition, Huairou County and Miyun County had about 200 large and small vehicles loaded with various materials to follow.

Even the livestock dealers from Shunyi and Miyun guards rushed over. No matter how much they were, Huwei Camp left a reputation for spending money and willingness to pay cash during the march and stationing along the way.

Any vendor who was willing to sell supplies to Huwei Camp made a lot of profits. After a while, his reputation spread. Everyone thought that they would gather here with the army before the New Year. Wang Tong's central army account was the last to be dismantled, and the chief officials from all over the place gathered here to report the situation of his troops one by one. Wang Tong listened intently. After everyone reported it, he asked:

"The military supervisor, from Miyun County to Miyun Guards, there will be no vendors or anything along the way. The supplies they carry can also be counted as supplies for our march. How long can it take for us to use after leaving the blockage?

Cai Nan stood up calmly. He started counting since last night and had an exact number. He spoke:

"According to the master's plan, we will go out for a day and arrange a cart to return to Miyun's guards to load the supplies of these vendors. The cart and the cattle of the cattle can solve some of the forage on the grassland. All the supplies can allow our army to support outside the border for six to seven days

Wang Tong nodded, pondered for a while and said:

"Six days to seven days, marching and fighting, we should still put everything first. Even if it is six days, there will be no new books on General Tan. The capital.

Zhunjiang stood up and shook his head and replied "No". Wang Tong sneered and shook his head and said:

"The Ministry of War ordered the people to support food and grass along the way. I don't care about the rest of the matter. Now, the Miyun Guard will not provide us with any more food and fodder support to transfer, that is, our Huwei Camp can only stay on the grassland for six days."

All the generals nodded, and Wang Tong continued:

"It's almost three days away from Gubeikou to Halahetao. The food and grass supplies we carry are almost enough for us to come to Halahetao and come back."

This is all well-known. Wang Tong said that the generals below were not surprised. Wang Tong asked Zhun Bing beside him and said:

"Zunbing, if you are the leader of the shoe and Lu, what will you do if you know our army is going?"

"If you are the master, if you are the leader of the army, you will attack us when our army has one day left!"

"Oh? It should be not far from Miyun's guard at that time. Why do you take action at this time? Are you not afraid of attacking inside and outside?"

Wang Tong also asked knowingly. After he finished speaking, everyone below smiled and shook his head. Zhun Bing also replied with a smile:

"If the Miyun guards have the courage to fight, how dare the sage captain gather in Halahetao, a place three days away from the border. When they answered the adult's question, there was still one day left in the army. If the enemy cavalry attacked, as long as they could bother them for a day, the food and grass would be exhausted, people would be in panic. At that time, the morale of the army was floating, and as long as they put in the strength to attack, how could the soldiers have the courage to fight? Then they felt that the frontier was in sight and could run back, and they were even more unwilling to fight, and they were afraid that they would disperse in one fight!"

After Zhunbing said that, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:

"When we travel along the way, they will definitely harass along the way and slow down our march. On the last day, the cavalry will have this advantage. They can swim on a large scale on the grassland, and the timing of the battle can be chosen by them. Everyone, let your trusted people talk loudly outside today, saying that food and grass can only be supported on the grassland for five days, and the guide will also talk."

After a little thought, everyone understood and they all stood up and followed the orders.

After Li Hutou and Li Tao's military discussion, they headed towards their own camp. Li Hutou was half shorter than Li Tao, but they were very solid. Li Tao was already tall and strong, but the two looked young, so the civilians looked at it. Although their armor was different from ordinary soldiers, they could not have imagined that these two young men were the chief and deputy commander of 1,500 people.

"I guess Ding Zhuang, who followed us, among the temporary expeditions in Shunyi, Huairou and Miyun, I don't know how many spies were there. There are even more guides. If you want to release the news, I'm afraid they will spread it to the grassland overnight!"

Li Hutou said with a smile as he walked, Li Tao followed behind him. Compared with Li Hutou's relaxation, Li Tao was worried and said:

"Hutou. Our Huwei Camp is the middle lane, closest to Halahetao. Maybe the opponent will attack with all his strength, but that's not less than ten thousand cavalry."

"What are you afraid of? We have a car camp and firearms. If we get a zi, we will be hitting our heads and bleeding!!"

Compared to Li Tao's worries, Li Hutou was full of confidence. After hearing Li Hutou's words, Li Tao was stunned for a moment, shook his head, but felt that his worries had gone much more.

The military camp of Miyun Guards became more and more popular. Gubeikou turned out to be an ordinary canyon entrance, but I heard a lot of this name in that life.

Wang Tong looked back, then looked at the boundless grassland ahead, and asked the guide who followed him and said:

“Isn’t it snowing this year?”

As usual, the defender of Miyun wanted to send military generals as a guide, but this time he followed him. This general was driven out of the grassland as the end of the year. Naturally, it felt bad, but Wang Tong's grade was quite high, so he didn't dare to neglect it and answered:

"This morning, the Chaohe almost broke in summer. Fortunately, it rained a few heavy rains in autumn, but there was no heavy snow in the evening. The old man said that if it doesn't snow in the first month, it might be a drought!"

Last year, when I went out of Zhangjiakou Fort, I saw snow-white, but now I was all yellow, all dry grass. The short ones were knee-high and the tall ones were almost at the saddle. When the cold wind blew, the dead grass on the grassland swayed, and it looked like yellow waves rolling, which was quite magnificent.

However, under the cold wind like a knife cut, people have no interest in appreciating it, they just rush to go.

This place is different from the flat outside Zhangjiakou. There are many hills outside Gubeikou, so it is not easy to walk. Seeing that the sun sets for an hour, Wang Tong ordered Huwei Camp to stop and start camping and resting.
