"Everybody's talking makes sense." Zhong Nan rarely denied a group of subordinate generals, "No matter whether Aduqin's Left Route Army really retreated, or whether it was holding back some bad water, we can't take it lightly." ”

"Scouts have to keep up and send back a message once an hour!"

"The officers and men of the firearms battalion should rearrange the * formation on the defensive line, pay attention to the concealment signs, and do not blow up their own people."

"Don't let your guard down at the bunkers and strongholds outside the Great Wall."

……

Zhong Nan gave orders one by one, and every time he finished speaking, the responsible general received the order and said "yes". After making various arrangements, Zhong Nan asked in a deep voice: "Is there any definite news from Xuanfu and Datong?" ”

"Lord Hui, the current news is that the Mongolian army on the right and middle roads is still blocked outside the Great Wall, but General Soldier Yu and General Soldier Ai may not be able to hold out for too long." Xu Wanzhou, who was in charge of gathering intelligence and delivering information, replied.

Xu Wanzhou is no longer in charge of the pro-military camp, Zhong Nan has added a new military intelligence room, in addition to being responsible for the scout's investigation work, he is also responsible for liaising with units at all levels, and the other is the work arrangement of secret agents. The Military Intelligence Office is directly responsible to Zhong Nan, and no one else is allowed to direct the transfer, although the level is not high, it is a very important department.

"When did you hear this?"

"Back to my lord, the news was delivered last night, and there is no new news at present, so there should be no major changes."

"Do you have any instructions from Master Xing?"

Although he said at the beginning that he was only responsible for logistics work, and the specific matters of the war were decided by the front-line generals, after all, he was his direct boss and could not be ignored.

"Lord Xing's side has no instructions, but do we want to report the situation on our side?" Xu Wanzhou couldn't make up his mind.

"Wait another day, it is still uncertain what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Aduqin's Left Route Army, and spreading the news will only make Lord Xing more troubled." Zhong Nan had a very good impression of Xing Jue, and he also knew that this squire was a man of a civil and official background, and he really didn't know how to fight, so there was no need to report the news before the situation was clear.

After Zhong Nan finished speaking, he was about to end the meeting, when he suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, where is Mr. Li Shizhen and Mr. Li?" ”

"Your Excellency, is it about the corpses of the Mongol cavalry?" Jing Tianchu asked.

"Exactly, the bodies must not be moved, and they must be burned and buried deep in the earth. I almost forgot in a hurry, this is not a trivial matter, if it is not handled well, it will infect the barracks! Zhong Nan patted his forehead, regretting it, five or six days have passed now, God knows if it will have any big impact.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li has already looked for General Liu and me two days ago. He was originally looking for you, but it is estimated that you were too busy to find the talent to find General Liu and me. Mr. Li has already confessed, and the disposal of the corpse is also what the adults said; In addition, Mr. Li prepared some other medicinal materials, which said that after boiling, everyone in the army had to drink them for three days. Jing Tianchu reported the situation.

"It's still Mr. Li who thinks thoughtfully!" Zhong Nan put his mind at ease, but then he thought: Should he have a few staff officers? During the war, there are so many things that are forgotten every day, and the staff officers can not only give advice, but also monitor the progress of things. It's just that the Jizhou military camp is originally short of talents, where to find these people who are both civil and military?

Now is not the time to think, Zhong Nan dispersed and let his subordinates go to work, while he looked at the border map. Among the important towns on the nine sides, although Jizhou is the closest to Jingshi, it is really said that the strategic position of Xuanfu should be above Jizhou. If the Mongolian cavalry conquered Xuanfu, they would also face the Beijing Division, so Xuanfu could not afford to lose, and he hoped that Yu Yi's general army would hold on.

As the news of the scouts came one by one, Zhong Nan and the others were finally able to confirm: the Mongolian army on the left really retreated. Abduqin took the men and horses belonging to the Chahar Department all the way to the north, without the slightest pause in between, and it seemed that he had returned to his lair.

Not only Jizhou, but also Eris and Yideri also received the news of Aduqin's retreat.

"This Abduqin, he was dragging his feet before he set off, and he didn't want to go south with us, if he hadn't invited her youngest daughter Xigil, he would definitely have planned to stay in the grassland. Now that the war has just begun, he actually retreated without my consent, and after I go back, I will not destroy his Chahar department! "Eris is furious in his yurt.

Beside him was Aoyun, the chief thinker of Eris, who knew that his boss was angry, and he didn't persuade him, and waited until Eris's anger was almost over, and Aoyun didn't speak.

"Great Khan, now is not the time to hold Abduqin accountable. I believe that Horqin's Yidri must have received the same news, will they follow the back path of Aduqin and walk away? ”

"He Yi De Ri dare!" The anger that had slowly calmed down had a tendency to rise again.

"Great Khan, don't be angry yet, the situation I said may not be impossible!"

"How?"

Aoyun saw that his boss could finally calm down and listen to him, so he told the truth.

"Great Khan, think about it, whether it is the Chahar Department or the Horqin Department, this time they agreed to go south, in addition to wanting to get some benefits from the Ming Dynasty, another part of the reason is mostly because they are afraid of the strength of our Tatar Department."

"But there are no eternal strong men on the steppe, if we don't have strong cavalry, do you think Abduqin and Yideri will still obey the orders of the Great Khan?"

Eris listened to the words of the wise man, and his little eyes gurgled and rolled. He did not say anything against it, and motioned for the other party to continue.

"Great Khan, I heard from the man sent by Abduqin to deliver the message that the Ming army had a weapon that blew up the left army at the time of its first charge. Later, they were infected with a strange disease in the barracks, and there were many deaths and injuries, and it was rumored that it was a punishment from the 'Immortal Heaven'. Due to the serious discouragement of the army, and my suspicion that Abduqin probably wanted to preserve his strength, the decision to retreat was made. ”

"And this?" Eris frowned.

"I guess the weapons of the Ming army are likely to be *, but I haven't heard that they are too powerful, if they are not lying, it is likely to be a newly developed variety. As for that strange disease, I can't figure it out. Aoyun also lowered his head and pondered.

"There won't really be any punishment for 'immortality', right?" Eris was a little stunned.

"Great Khan, I don't believe it anyway, I can't rule out some conspiracy by the Ming army." Aoyun guessed.

"Then what if the Ming army uses the same means against us?" Eris asked.

"It's also possible that Abdul Qin was unlucky, he happened to get a plague or something in his barracks, otherwise why didn't the Ming army use the same means against us?" Aoyun also contradicted himself.

"Aoyun, how should we deal with the current situation?" Eris no longer thought about the questions he couldn't figure out, he just wanted to know what to do next.

"Great Khan, I think it's getting more and more difficult to go south this time. Without the Chahar Division, it would be difficult to break through the Great Wall with the men and horses of the Tatar and Horqin Divisions alone. The original plan was that as long as any of the three sides made progress, they could form a flanking attack, but now it seems that we are likely to be flanked by the Ming army! ”

Aoyun's worries are not unreasonable, the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong were originally surrounded by the Great Wall, and now they have not even overcome the first defense line of the Great Wall in Xuanfu, if they are attacked by the Ming army in the direction of Jizhou, the consequences will be unimaginable. As for Yideri on the Datong side, the situation is not much better than that of Erisi, and if Yideri has the heart to retreat again, then I am afraid it will ...... Thinking about it, Eris was deeply frightened.

The discussion between the two had no substantive conclusion and had to be abandoned.

The next day, Eddha came to visit Eris, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked panicked, and it is unknown whether it was pretended or real.

"Great Khan, the big thing is not good, Abduqin has retreated!"

"Don't panic yet, Idri, I already know the news." Eris held back the anger in his heart and comforted the other party.

"What is the Great Khan going to do?" Idri went straight in.

"What do you think I should do?"

"Hehe, I'm not a roundworm in a sweaty belly. But I think the Great Khan must have already made a decision, right? ”

"After returning to the grassland, I will let Aduqin give me a satisfactory explanation!" Eris gritted his teeth.

"That's an afterthought!" Idri didn't care, "What is the Great Khan going to do now?" ”

"What do you mean?" Eris asked, tilting his head and squinting his small eyes.

"I thought it would be better to go home. Although we hold on for a few more days, it is very likely that we will be able to take Xuanfu or Datong, but that is when Aduqin is still dragging the Ming army of Jizhou. Yi Deri spread his hands and said helplessly, "Right now, the Ming army in Jizhou will come over soon, and I estimate that it will support Xuanfu first, so you will definitely be attacked by the Great Khan at that time." ”

"My Tatar man, will I still be afraid of the Ming army?" Eris responded.

"Even if you can defeat one against two, but when the time comes, you will inevitably lose your vitality, doesn't this give Aduqin a chance?" Idri looked like he was thinking about Eris.

"Hmph, if the Chahar Department wants to step on my Tatar position, you have to ask my 100,000 iron horsemen if they agree!"

"Of course! Now the Great Khan, your Tatar Department is the most powerful, but the Chahar Department should not be underestimated, if the Great Khan loses too many troops in Xuanfu, presumably Abdul Qin will definitely not give up this opportunity! ”

"Idri, you don't have a good heart!" Eris snorted coldly.

"Great Khan, don't worry, I, the Korqin Division, never thought of challenging your Tatar Division, Great Khan! I just don't want to sweat a lot, you are rash and let Abduqin pick up the cheap! ”

"I don't dare!"

"Great Khan, I think that since the chances of winning a battle with the Ming army are not good, it is better to return north first, and clean up Aduqin first before making plans!" Ide's Japanese is eerie.

"Haha, Yideri, I can see it, you want to replace the Chahar Department and sit in the position of the second in command of the grassland, right?"
