Qin Liangyu hurriedly came, and the guards who were waiting outside told the head of the family that the two generals should be talking to General Huang in the Peony Pavilion at this time.

Of course, the old lady would not go upstairs, and she was not even willing to stay in such a place for a moment, calling for her daughter and daughter-in-law to leave immediately.

Qin Liangyu was also extremely disappointed in his heart, thinking that Huang Han was too young after all, and the young man was inevitably frivolous, and he seemed to be embarrassed and useful.

Hearing her mother's shout, Qin Yanyi, who knew that she had been in trouble, hid behind her sister-in-law without saying a word and came out.

There are many people here, Qin Liangyu didn't say a word, just glared at her daughter fiercely.

The crowd of onlookers eating melons outside is even more enthusiastic, Yichun Yuan doesn't know what official fortune has been handed over, just a few days ago, the old man of the court and the lord of the clan came to visit here, and today there is the old lady Qin Liangyu who is famous all over the world.

It seems that the story of Yichun Yuan is very bizarre, very fragrant and legendary! In this way, rumors spread around, and the gossip that Qin Yanyi and Huang Han privately agreed for life became the talk of many good people on the wine table.

It didn't take long for even the emperor to hear about it, and he was stunned inexplicably, Qin Yanyi is a descendant of the martyrs sacrificed by the Ming Dynasty, there are such rumors, how can the imperial court sit idly by? He hurriedly ordered Cao Huachun to send someone to investigate.

Yichun Courtyard once again became the focus, when the four beauties speculated in the Peony Pavilion whether Huang Han was now involved with the Tartars, more than 3,000 people of the "Red Banner Army" had been out of the customs for two days.

The men and horses are now marching nearly two hundred miles northeast from Da'ankou, but they don't know how far they are from Karaqin Qingcheng.

Huang Han came to the prairie that originally belonged to Duoyan Sanwei to attack the Karaqin Tartars based on historical knowledge, and only knew that the general location of Qingcheng was between Chengde and Chifeng in later generations.

There is no way to know the specific location, Huang Han is not worried about not finding Qingcheng, because he knows that there are very few cities on the steppe, and the Qingcheng of the Karaqin Tartars should be a place where the Tartars trade for hundreds of miles nearby.

The "Red Banner Army" sent 11 elite cavalrymen to reconnoiter for 20 miles, and the distance between them was four or five miles, which was equivalent to combing the prairie with a frontal of 50 miles.

This is not a no-man's land, and with such a large search range, it should be nine times out of ten to encounter a yurt from a Tartar.

As long as the Mongols are caught, and then they are isolated and tortured separately, it is not too difficult to get the specific location of Karaqin Qingcheng.

Since Jiannu withdrew from Guanwai, Liu Zhilun has maintained correspondence with Huang Han, and the frequent training of the "Red Banner Army" has allowed him to enter and leave freely in the governor's jurisdiction, and has also obtained Liu Zhilun's consent and support.

At that time, Huang Han's explanation was that the "Red Flag Army" was active frequently in the Great Wall Pass where Jizhen was located, which would make the Tartars and Jiannu nervous and unsettled, and could make the Ming army not strange, and the "Red Flag Army" would be able to launch a surprise attack again in the future.

Huang Han cooperated with Liu Zhilun to kill the enemy, without exception, by adopting the tactics of surprise attack, and each time he first shook a shot to confuse the enemy.

Therefore, Liu Zhilun has great trust in Huang Han, and when he saw that the "Red Flag Army" was frequently mobilized for training, he sensed the undercurrent surging, and knew that Huang Han was definitely not on a whim, and he would definitely make some moves next.

The "Red Banner Army" is willing to spend a lot of money on the training of firearms units, and now they are all conducting live-fire exercises, the scrapping rate of bird guns and carrying guns is not small, the consumption of gunpowder is too great, and its own gunpowder workshop has just begun production, and the supply of skilled workers and raw materials is being perfected.

Therefore, the output of gunpowder produced by the Huang family was not high, and it was barely possible to maintain normal drills, and it was not enough to carry out gunpowder reserves to launch large-scale military operations.

At the end of September, Huang Han received 3,000 catties of black powder from the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder bureau in Gyeonggi through Zheng Guochang, and processed the gunpowder again to increase the power of the explosion.

At the beginning of October, Liu Zhilun also helped Huang Han get 3,000 catties of black powder, so the current gunpowder reserves of the "Red Flag Army" are enough to launch an attack, and Wang Zhanpeng, who needs to blast the gunpowder that needs to be blasted when attacking Karaqin Qingcheng, is also ready, and he has ten 30 catties of black powder bags in his hand.

This time, if it is necessary to blast and attack the city, it will be carried out by the cavalry under the command of Wang Zhanpeng, who has several actual combat experience, and the cavalry will not be allowed to do such a thing in the future, and Song Pengfei's firearms unit will specially train engineers, including the demolition team.

Liu Zhilun only met Huang Han on 4 November, and on this day he learned that the target of the "Red Banner Army" was Qingcheng in Karaqin, more than 300 miles northeast of Da'ankou.

He suddenly felt that his blood was flying, and he actually wanted to personally lead the 800 cavalry of the Fubiao Battalion to participate in the operation.

Huang Han politely declined Liu Zhilun's kindness and asked him to lead the Fubiao battalion to personally sit in Daankou in case of accidents.

He also particularly emphasized that if the governor did not come to Daankou in person to meet him, the "Red Banner Army" would have to transfer at least two commanders from the already overstretched men and horses to assist in the defense of Daankou.

Because this is the retreat of the "Red Banner Army" out of the customs is very important, in case Jiannu or Tatars also come to occupy Da'ankou by a surprise attack, then the "Red Flag Army" that returned after the bloody battle of Karaqin Qingcheng is not the same fate as the Houjin Army that withdrew from the Luanzhou battlefield?

It turned out that Huang Han was extremely optimistic about himself, and handed over the back of the "Red Flag Army" to himself, and Liu Zhilun felt a great responsibility.

He no longer insisted on following out of the customs, because he knew the virtues of the generals under his command, and he was not at ease about handing over the backs of himself and the "Red Banner Army" to these teammates who could not be trusted.

Liu Zhilun not only brought more than 700 cavalry from the Fubiao battalion, but also brought 1,500 infantry, and there were more than 3,000 people in the hands of the original garrison general in Daankou, and now Liu Zhilun is personally in charge, and the number of men and horses has exceeded 5,000.

Da'ankou was broken by Jiannu last year, and after the Jin army returned to the north this year, the Ming border army was the first time to repair the destroyed Great Wall Pass, Da'ankou was repaired and reinforced, and then Liu Zhilun personally deployed the defense, this dangerous pass can completely resist the attack of more than 20,000 horses and horses of Jiannu Tartar.

Huang Han, who left the customs, walked with his subordinates for two days without catching a living person, and even found a dead person, it seems that there are no Tartars moving in a large area here on the side wall.

If you can't catch the tongue, you can only rely on the "Red Flag Army" scouts to explore the location of Karaqin Qingcheng, which is simply unacceptable and illogical, and the Karaqin Tartars in this area will not all gather in Qingcheng for the winter?

Huang Han's judgment was right, the Tartars had too many cattle, sheep and horses, and it was impossible for them all to be concentrated in one place for the winter.

Because these herbivores need vast pastures to get enough food, they are too concentrated, and once spring begins, too many cattle and sheep in the nearby pastures will lead to insufficient food.
