A Cheng's faction also admitted that this view was reasonable, but the difference was that Zhang Han was in the military fort. A Cheng believed that the core of Heyusheng's entire system was Zhang Han. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, if the governor died, the court would send another one. Once Zhang Han died, Heyusheng would fall apart. Its importance was equal to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, just like when Ye first defeated the main force of the Ming Dynasty's imperial guards at Tumu Fort and captured Emperor Yingzong, even the importance was more than the captive Emperor Yingzong. The Ming Dynasty had a prince, and the emperor could no longer choose from his relatives and vassals, but Zhang Han was equal to the founding emperor. Once Zhang Han was captured or killed, Heyusheng would be no replacement.

Bu Shitu Khan and many Taiji did not object to this judgment, but they did not agree with it.

He Yusheng still has many talented people active on the grasslands, or have been heard of by the Mongolians as having a great reputation.

Li Shen≈∮∈∮∈∮∮, ●.★▼.∽Ming and Sun Jingting are the two most dazzling star-like characters.

Bu Shituhan and other nobles believed that although Zhang Han was important, he could elect a replacement candidate like Yu Sheng. However, if he attacked Jining Fort, thousands of dead Mongolians would be irreplaceable, and the strength of the left-wing Mongolians would decline to a very dangerous level.

At this time, the divisions were still disinterested and disorganized, and the military and political system was still in the form of loose tribal alliances. Bu Shitu, the great sweat, was cowardly and incompetent, and even the commander of the front formation like Namuge was also in this weak tone. Tabunang felt like a ball of fire was burning in his heart.

After Namuge left, Tabunang did not rest, so he rode his horse to Acheng Taiji's station and went to ask for a meeting.

At the door of the yurt, Xi Lingse and several Taiji came out of the tent. Tabunang quickly stood up and saluted the Taiji.

Xi Lingse hugged Tabun intimately and said, "This is our warrior. Today I saw you react quickly. Although I lost someone, it was not your fault."

Tabunang is not good at speaking and does not know how to respond to Xi Lingse.

Acheng also walked out at this time, looked at Tabu Nang and said, "What's wrong with you here?"

Tabunang could not hide his thoughts, and everyone could see that his face looked a little ugly.

Since there were no outsiders, Tabunang only told all the things he was worried about, and finally said: "Both Khan and Namge have no confidence. I am very worried about whether this battle can continue."

"Can you continue to fight." Acheng's face was not as bad as Tabu Nang imagined. He smiled and patted Tabu Nang's shoulder and said, "Xi Lingse and Taiji, I came up with a new idea, and Dahan and the others agreed."

Xi Lingse said: "Since everyone doesn't want to attack the city, then try to fight in the field. He Yusheng is here to hold on, it's just that their main force in the east and west routes is still there. Zhang Han is surrounded, so we simply retreated from the main force in Qingcheng and Xiaoheihe Fort here, and advocated that we should do our best to attack Jining Fort, and to capture or kill Zhang Han. While the surface is being dispatched, we will do our main force here to investigate the situation on the other side of Xiaoheihe. If Sun Jingting and their main force send troops, we will attack more than 100,000 people and thousands of them, and we will win no matter how we fight. Do you think Tabun?"

"Yes!" Tabunang's rough face showed a sincere expression of excitement, and he said, "I want to go to detect the movements of Xiaoheihe Castle."

"You'd better cruise and patrol nearby." Ah Cheng said: "You must plug the loopholes and don't ask He Yusheng's people to send out the outside world's news. Just ask Zhang Han to hide in the military fort with peace of mind. When we eliminate their main force, the initiative will really be in our hands."

...

"The movements of the Northern Territory have been very suspicious recently."

Ma Wu had a frosty face, a beard, and his expression and temperament were all standard soldiers. He stood on the fort wall, pinched his fingers and talked to Li Gui, and his fingers were clicking and clicking.

Ma Wu is the captain of the cavalry flag. Five days ago, he was sent out to detect the members of his flag team. The entire flag team ran back and forth over 200 miles in the longitudinal direction. He slept in the open every day and had to fight against small groups of enemies constantly. It was very hard. After the war horses came back, they lost weight and had to keep them well for a while before they could recover. Of course, the cavalry lost a lot. They ate dry food every day and had raw meat. They just grind it under the saddle and then ate it directly. They could not raise the fire and drink cold water. Fortunately, the weather was hot, so there was no big problem in this regard.

This kind of long-distance training style of fighting is different from the usual training. People are very nervous and are very devoted during the battle. The physical strength and spirit consumed are not comparable to training. Fortunately, Ma Wu and others are very strong and are young people in their twenties. After returning to the fort, they did not have much rest or adjustments. They just ran to Sun Jingting's residence to report urgently. After going out, they found friends such as Li Gui to communicate.

Li Gui frowned and said, "Why is it abnormal?"

Ma Wudao: "It just feels wrong, it seems that the tension in the battle has decreased, not like the last time I went out, and it was full of dangers. But when I asked me to say specifically, it seems that there is no big change."

"Look at the map and say."

Each department has a general staff. Although it is affiliated with the General Staff, when the marching and fighting, each general staff cooperates with the General Staff to fight. Li Gui was Li Gongye's staff officer and had his own office and residence at the Lingqiu Department's station. He and Ma Wu called Zhang Shixiong and others. A group of outstanding young officers gathered in Li Gui's room. There was a very detailed grassland map on the wall here. The red and blue colors represent He Yusheng and the Northern Lu tribes. The red dots are big and small, and of course they represent military forts of different regulations.

"You talk about it, let's talk about the east ten miles, which is British, Russian and Chinese Butaiji. He has more than 200 soldiers and more than 3,000 herders. He is considered a powerful Taiji. We have sent cavalry to attack many times and was his subordinates. His ranch is the northeast of Bansheng City, which is more than 30 miles east and west, and more than 70 miles north and south, and the territory is not small."

A Mongolian Taiji ranch also has big or small size, depending on its strength. The one Li Gui said should be a medium-sized Taiji, and its size is similar to that of a county in the mainland.

Ma Wusisuo said: "It feels a little different here, and the number of cavalry here feels smaller than usual."

"How much?" Li Gui said with some dissatisfaction: "Last time we met the battle, how many enemy cavalry in the Northern Territory first responded, how many cavalrymen were searching for pursuit, how many reaction time and number of people did you remember?"

Ma Wu was slightly embarrassed and said after a while: "The number of people was about 30%. When I went to Taidun Fort of each army, the number of chases I received was also reduced a lot."

Still vague, Li Gui was about to say something else, but Zhang Shixiong said on the side: "No need to blame him. Ma Wu is not from the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Field Service Bureau. He interspersed between our Dunbao Military Station. His main task was to observe the enemy's movements, roughly understand the enemy's situation, and have detailed information. I think Mr. Sun and Mr. Wang Qian have several other positions."

Although Wang Changfu has not been officially appointed as General Qian, the officers below have privately called General Qian and Liang Xing. No matter what, these two are the two oldest in the army. If they are confused with ordinary General Secretary Li Cong Ye, even Li Congye and others will be a little uneasy.

As for Zhao Shiwen's position as a military officer, he seems to be more glorious than General Qian, but there are definitely not many senior military officers who are interested in fighting for this position.

Li Gui interrogated Ma Wu for a long time, and investigated one by one. The Beilu on the opposite side might not have imagined that the military fort here not only knew their Taiji name, but also the approximate number of soldiers, herdsmen, and ranch size were almost clearly investigated... Of course, this is also due to He Yusheng's activities on the grasslands in recent years. It is too easy to find out... How many Taiji's pastures are there, the size of herds and the size of the pastures, and He Yusheng's convoy will be able to touch them clearly as long as they walk twice. Although it is wartime, the Beiru has mostly left the ranch, but after repeated firepower reconnaissance, as long as they find out which Taiji leads the troops, their strength and the size of the area they can control will be roughly clear.

After a while, Li Gui said with a serious expression: "There has indeed changed. From the east of the west, there are more than 20 military Taidun Forts here, more than 190 miles along the way to Daheihe Fort. This area is controlled by more than 10,000 herders and about 3,000 armored soldiers, and about 3,000 Taiji. Looking at Ma Wu's interlude this time, the number of people in the Beilu has decreased by at least 30%. I don't know what the situation is in Daheihe Fort, but I still need to communicate with them."

Here on the west road, from Xiaoheihe Fort to Daheihe Fort, there are a large number of soldiers stationed in the military and Taiwan fortress, and the number of soldiers is sufficient, so it is not only defending, but also can attack regularly. The infantry in the military fortress uses firearms to cover firepower, and the cavalry constantly interspersed and reconnaissed in vast areas. The breastplate cavalry has high protective power, and the flintlock cavalry stably suppressed the Mongols' cavalry bows. The Northern Barbarians can't raise their heads and take advantage of it in a small-scale encounter. Only when the enemy is pressed by several times or more than ten times, they will rely on the Juntaidun Fort to transfer, or hide in it for a while. This kind of cavalry interspers have already penetrated the Mongols' encirclement net into a sieve.

"Shixiong, what do you think?"

Zhang Shixiong's position and prestige are the best among young officers, only below Li Gui. However, Li Gui's position as a staff officer is more civil. In terms of actual prestige among middle and lower-level officers and soldiers, he is definitely far inferior to Zhang Shixiong.

"It is certain that the Northern Lu had abnormal movements." Zhang Shixiong said: "Now we have to make a clear move. Is it pretending to be empty and luring our army, or is there any change?"

"You have to grab your tongue." Li Gui told Ma Wu: "And you can't be a herdsman or an ordinary armored soldier, at least you can be a leader in his tribe."

Zhang Shixiong said again: "It's better to catch a small Taiji... or you have to catch a centurion, a thousand-man leader, or something."

Ma Wu said with a bitter face: "Everyone is too fond of me, the captain of the flag?"

"It's almost the same to dispatch one hundred to two hundred people." Zhang Shixiong said: "We just need to find two more cavalry flag teams."

Li Gui said: "You can't send troops without authorization, you need military orders."
