Cao Bianjiao, Zhu Tiema, and Jixiang shouted in unison: "Thank you, mountain chief!" ”

After shouting, the three of them walked out of the deputy mountain chief's pavilion in a good mood, and walked to the cement flat not far from the maple tree, Cao Bianjiao said with a smile: "Hurry up and go back to pack your things, the mountain chief agreed." ”

The students of the Army Martial Arts Hall shouted with joy, and when they thought of the Army's regulations, they quickly closed their mouths again, and ran to their respective houses in a hurry.

Not long after, 90 students of the Army's Martial Arts Hall wore cotton armor camouflage uniforms, carried Doumi-style rifles on their shoulders, wrapped bullet belts around their waists, and carried combat bags on their backs, stepping onto a Liaodong horse.

rushed to the Miyun Rear Guard in the north, preparing to go to Tongguanwei with Cao Dingjiao's army, and sprinkled his blood on the battlefield.

At this time, after several months of preparation, Wei Langzhong and Zheng Yuanwai of the Examination Division, took all the gold and silver with them, and took a horse gang of Jin merchants to the north, preparing to join the Manchus.

On the official road where the cold wind was howling, a caravan of more than 300 people was moving slowly, not because the caravan didn't want to go fast, but this time the goods transported to the Manchu Qing were all in short supply of medicinal materials.

Since the Fan family's chief treasurer of medicinal materials died inexplicably, the secret trade route that could easily pass through the defense of the Liaodong border army was cut off.

The second shopkeeper was ashamed to say that he also knew how to go on the secret trade route, but when he arrived outside the gate, there were snow-covered mountains and old forests everywhere, and the roads looked similar, and he soon lost his way.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the Tang Cavalry under the command of Cao Wenzhao, and the Tang Cavalry quietly retreated to the station, and called all the Tang Cavalry in the station to kill all the medicinal herbs and horse gangs of the Fan family.

Without the transportation of the Fan family's medicinal materials and horse gangs, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was extremely short of all kinds of medicinal materials, especially the tocolytic pills that increased the number of Jurchen people, which also caused the prices of various medicinal materials to be extremely high.

There are too many sought-after medicinal materials transported by this Jin merchant horse gang, so many that they can't go too fast, but it doesn't hurt, walking slower in the territory of Daming can confuse the officers and soldiers of the inspection department.

On a carriage in the middle of the caravan, Zheng Yuanwai and Wei Langzhong were in full swing to draw a map, which clearly noted the strength of each city in the border pass.

Zheng Yuan's position of Miyun's guard on the map was annotated with precise troops, put down the hard brush in his hand, and saw that Wei Langzhong was going to continue annotating, so he stopped him: "There is no need to annotate the grain and grass reserves that are more important than the troops." ”

Wei Langzhong frowned at first, thinking that Zheng Yuanwai was afraid that he would steal the credit, and after a little contemplation, he was quickly relieved.

There should be three points of leeway in everything, and the grain and grass reserves should be recorded in their minds, which can better reflect the indispensability of the two of them than directly in the map, and can also make the Beyler Beyers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty pay more attention to these two military strategists.

Wei Langzhong also put down the hard brush in his hand: "This time, you just brought more than a dozen of your fellow clansmen to the Great Qing Kingdom, aren't you afraid that Zhu Youzhen will kill your entire clan." ”

Zheng Yuanwai didn't want to bring everyone from the clan to Liaodong, but he knew his father very well, and with his father's temper, if he knew that he had gone to join the Manchus, he would vomit blood and die on the spot.

Thinking of the last encounter in the ancestral ancestral hall, Zheng Yuanwai still did not forget to prove that you didn't understand what he said.

As long as the Great Qing Kingdom enters the customs, Zheng Yuanwai will be the minister of the Great Qing Dynasty, and maybe he will be rewarded with a flower feather and become a minister of Xuan He for a while.

At that time, Zheng Yuanwai, who is glorious and glorious, can ask in a dignified manner, who is right and who is wrong.

It's just that Wei Langzhong said that this matter has to be guarded against, Zheng Yuanwai has already thought that after arriving in the Great Qing Kingdom, he will change his name and surname, including more than a dozen of his fellow clansmen, so there will not be much of a problem.

Wei Langzhong and Zheng Yuanwai are grasshoppers on a rope, and they also have a winning relationship, after all, the two of them know about the various situations of the Ming Dynasty, and they both want to wear the flower feather.

However, thinking that the whole clan was taken to the Great Qing Kingdom by him, Wei Langzhong couldn't help but smile on his face, compared to Zheng Yuan, who only brought a dozen members of the same clan, the Great Qing Kingdom should have more trust in a courtier like him.

Wei Langzhong Zheng Yuanwai discussed some details, and the caravan finally came to the territory of Miyun County, and when he arrived here, he didn't dare to take the official road, but only dared to take a secret trade route that the caravan keeper kept in mind.

Wei Langzhong suddenly asked: "Let's enter Liaodong from the Shanhaiguan area, and we can reach the Great Qing Kingdom as soon as possible, why do we have to make a detour to Miyun County so far." ”

This question is really unknown to others, but Zheng Yuanwai knows the importance of doing this, strokes his beard and smiles: "You may not know that it was the old man who helped contact the horse gang when Jin Zhijun and the others went to the Great Qing Kingdom. ”

"But the strange thing is that when you get to the outside of the gate, there is no news at all, as if you have disappeared out of thin air."

"The old man suspects that they may have suffered a tragic accident and were intercepted and killed by Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew."

Wei Langzhong heard General Cao in the Liaodong Border Pass, his heart trembled violently, and his face turned a little pale, he criticized Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew in the court back then.

Zheng Yuanwai was very satisfied with the subtle emotional changes on Wei Langzhong's face, and said with a calm smile: "Don't worry, the old man will have no such worries if he chooses this horse gang." ”

"After all, Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew are both in the Shanhaiguan area."

"Cao Bianjiao's squad leader!"

At the same time, in the mountain col three miles away from the Mabang, a student of the Army Martial Arts Hall who was conducting a field training scout ran into the col quickly.

Cao Bianjiao, Zhu Tie, and other students of the Army Martial Arts Hall were drawing military maps, drawing strategic defense points and important supply lines of communication in the Miyun Rear Guard.

They chose this hidden mountain and forest path precisely to open up a hidden communication line, in case the main transportation route was cut off by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was also a backhand to temporarily ensure the supply of grain and grass.

In the past, Cao Bianjiao only relied on his feelings and experience to think that the transportation of grain and grass was very important, but it was only a general concept of eating.

Since systematically studying communication warfare, we have begun to prepare communication lines in advance to ensure that all kinds of grain and grass are carried in wartime.

Next to the big bluestone of a small river, Cao Bianjiao put down the charcoal in his hand and looked at the rear: "What's the matter." ”

The students of the Army Lecture Martial Arts Hall happily reported: "I found a Jin merchant horse gang coming here. ”

"The number is about three hundred, and the weapons are basically swords, and only a small part of the caravan is armed with arquebuses."

Cao Bianjiao has not been stained with the blood of Jiannu for a long time since he came to the army martial arts hall, and his hands are inevitably a little itchy.
