The duty of Xinghe Fort is to monitor the situation in the grasslands and act as the first round of cannon fodder in the event of a major enemy invasion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So this is also the reason why Wang Huan, as a guard commander, only has two thousand households under his command.

There are more troops, it is difficult to replenish, it is expensive, and once surrounded, the other side may send reinforcements at any time.

As a cannon fodder leader, Wang Huan's personality is calm, no, he is too calm, and even studied to the point of outrageousness.

Jubao Shanwei's scout hundred households are very well equipped, so good that Wang Huan is envious.

However, it is too dangerous here, so Wang Huan is a little worried.

"Xinghebo, the people of Arutai often approach Xinghebao with thousands of people to tempt, be careful!"

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Thousands of people can't stop them, so there's no need to worry." ”

Long knives, crossbows, rifled guns, grenades, and even arson fuel.

With such equipment, unless it encounters an enemy who is not afraid of death, it can escape with all its body.

After sending away the scouts of the hundred households, Fang Xing came back and found Wang Huan.

"You are the old man of Xuanfu, can the king of Gu have contact in Xuanfu recently?"

Fang Xing stared at Wang Huan's face and asked.

Wang Huan was shocked in his heart, remembered the recent rumors, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, although Xia Guan is an old man from Xuanfu, he has not been in contact with the people of the Valley King. ”

Fang Xing squinted and said, "What about those people in Xuanfu?" Have you heard? ”

Wang Huan said worriedly: "Uncle, it has been several years since King Gu left Xuanfu, and the people in Xuanfu have changed, and the lower officials have not found anyone to communicate. ”

Fang Xing's heart was relieved, and he was ready to summon the people sent to Xuanfu back in a few days.

He also had a task on this trip, that is, to investigate whether the generals of Xuanfu had colluded with Zhu Lu, the king of the valley.

Wang Huan asked in a low voice, "Uncle, is King Gu going to be bad?" ”

Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, was the nineteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang and was sealed in Xuanfu that year. During his tenure, this person regarded Xuanfu as his own territory, and he made a lot of efforts.

Then Zhu Di was martyred, Zhu Lu went to King Qin, and finally saw that he was invincible, so he opened the city gate to meet him with the current affairs, and was resealed to Changsha, which was very favored by Zhu Di.

It's just that this guy has been a little arrogant in recent years, and he was so bold that he said that Emperor Jianwen was in his own mansion, and then recruited troops and horses, and he actually looked like he wanted to overturn Zhu Di's face.

Xinghe Fort is remote, and Zhu Di has made up his mind, so Fang Xing is not afraid of leaks.

"The king of the valley is recruiting troops and horses, and he is also planning to collude with the king of Shu, and was denounced by the king of Shu.

Seeing that Wang Huan was still a little uneasy, Fang Xing comforted: "Xuanfu is an important town, as long as you keep to yourself, Your Majesty will not destroy the Great Wall, rest assured." ”

Wang Huan was still a little afraid, so he took the initiative to ask Ying: "The lower officials are quite old in the Xuan Mansion, you can ask them to investigate." ”

Fang Xing said appreciatively: "This is very good, Ben Bo will naturally tell Your Majesty at that time, and it will be more or less a credit." ”

……

As far as the eye can see, the low hills in the distance are also covered with snow, and the whole world seems to have been frozen and has no life.

Fang Wu lifted his hat and squinted at a few black dots in the distance.

A few black dots gradually enlarged, and it turned out to be a scout sent to the front.

"My lord, I found a small tribe."

Fang Wu frowned and said, "How can there be a small tribe nearby?" ”

"My lord, this small tribe should be migrating, looking at the direction, probably thinking of the side wall, ready to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty."

"Look at it!"

……

A few days later, Fang Wu brought back more than thirty Mengyuan people.

These people were all weathered and stupid, and several of the women were holding their children, and their faces were pale.

"Master, these are Tatars, after the great victory of Arutai, they are integrating the interior, Horqin has tried his best to cooperate, and has exterminated several disobedient tribes, they just escaped, and most of them were frozen to death and starved to death along the way."

Fang Xing's appearance made these Meng Yuan people panic, kneeling on the ground and pleading.

"Ask them where the closest army to Arutai is, and how many there are."

The interpreter stepped forward and asked a man with an unhealed scar on his face, and came back and said, "Uncle, they said that there are more than 2,000 people in the northwest, all of them are elite cavalry, specially used to monitor the movements of the Ming Dynasty, and the distance is about ......."

The interpreter converted: "It's about a hundred miles away." ”

Wang Huan immediately said: "Uncle, in the past, their people didn't dare to get so close. ”

Fang Xing sneered: "Arutai sees the hope of dominating the grassland, and he wants to use this way to tell Da Ming, don't mess with me." ”

Wang Huan was stunned: "Uncle, should we hurry up and inform the Xuanfu?" Or directly to His Majesty. ”

Da Ming and Arutai hadn't completely torn their faces at this time, but Fang Xing didn't think so.

"No need, before Ben Bo came, His Majesty had already given the right to arbitrarily take the opportunity, and it was just a small group of enemies, so it should be regarded as a grass valley."

Wang Huan was stunned, thinking that Fang Xing had only two thousand households under his command, and his strength was equivalent to that of the other party. Even if it's Jubaoshanwei, you don't dare to say that you win, right?

As for playing grass valley, this made Wang Huan even more confused.

The so-called grass valley is that the grassland aliens send troops without grain and grass, and plunder.

When did the Ming army start fighting the grass valley?

"Uncle, if you annoy Arutai, Xinghe Fort will be vulnerable!"

No matter how awesome Xinghe Fort is, it is just a castle, and if Arutai does his best, Xinghe Fort will definitely not be able to defend it.

Fang Xing shook his head, and only after he went back did he explain his purpose.

"As a general, you must have a vision, not limited to a corner."

The lobby was full of people, and a map was hung on the wall, and Fang Xing pointed at Xin Laoqi.

Xin Laoqi walked to the edge of the map and introduced: "The three kings of Warat, Mahamu was defeated, but the headquarters still has strength. As for the two departments of Bald Polo and Taiping, they are coldly watching, which shows that there is still a lot of infighting within Warat. ”

Fang Xing interjected: "Before the battle, you must know the enemy, otherwise even if you win the battle, you are just a reckless man, and you can't use troops alone." ”

The generals below all nodded secretly, and Yang Fuhong saw Liang Shun's appearance of listening attentively, so he said in a low voice: "You can also understand?" ”

Before Liang Shun could respond, Fang Xing's gaze swept over.

"Why don't you come up and talk about it?"

Fang Xing's eyes were cold, if this was not a lonely hanging, he would have to use someone to open the knife today.

Yang Fuhong said curtly: "The lower official is wrong, and the uncle forgives the sin." ”

Seeing that he was soft, Fang Xing nodded to Xin Laoqi.

Xin Laoqi continued: "Arutai thought that defeating Mahamu's department would open the gate of Warat, but this is wishful thinking! The three kings of Warat, as long as the two of them join forces, they can defeat Arutai, so the uncle said that Arutai is a puddle of mud and can't support the wall! ”

"And this man Arutai is so happy that he has no concentration. According to the spy report, Arutai is preparing to attack the Warat Department again this year, so the more than 2,000 people are just bluffing. ”

Fang Xing nodded, got up and replaced Xin Laoqi.

His gaze swept over the people in the lobby, and Fang Xing said lightly: "The most important thing Arutai should do at this time is to take the opportunity to rein in the tribe and expand his strength, but while he is retracting, he is still thinking about attacking Warat, and his mentality is already unstable......"
