At noon the next day, Wang Zhou's letter arrived in Datong Fucheng, and after a short discussion, Ma Xuan immediately began to mobilize his soldiers to prepare for war urgently.

"Meng Fu, you take three thousand people to Huai'anwei."

"Xiao Anu, you take 5,000 people to hold Datong City. With so many people out of the city, the city depends on yours, once there is a rout to attack, there is no need to go head-to-head, just rely on the advantage of the city high, and kill the enemy ruthlessly. Don't skimp on arrows, don't skimp on muskets, and try to protect your own people. ”

"Dushan Bai"

After a series of orders were issued, the tasks of the others were very clear, but Meng Fu's task was ambiguous.

Ma Xuan didn't tell him what he was doing when he went to Huai'anwei, he just asked him to take someone to Huai'anwei.

After the meeting, Meng Fu looked for Ma Xuan, and he didn't know what Ma Xuan told him, anyway, Meng Fu and his people left Datong Mansion City immediately.

Fifteen thousand men set out from Datong Fucheng as the right flank, arrived at the town guard, and began to set up defenses. All of the armor was shipped through the merchant channel, and these people were disguised as merchants to go to the territory of the town guard.

The vicinity of Zhenyuwei has become an enemy-occupied area, and if it is not disguised, it will be easily discovered, not to mention that Tu Hu has learned a lot from Zhang Ru's hands. At least the pervasive spies can easily detect the whereabouts of the large army.

30,000 people set out from Shi'an Ridge and crossed Jiulu Mountain to stand by, all of these people were cavalry, and Jiulu Mountain was just a relatively gentle mountain.

The grass on the mountain was enough to feed these horses, and swooping down from the mountain could easily break the formation of the Tatar army.

In addition to the 5,000 elites of Xiao Anu's army, which was deployed in Datong Fucheng, there were also 15,000 militiamen who had been temporarily recruited. They have military training, but they have not been baptized by war, and it is okay to defend the city, but it is absolutely impossible to attack.

Some people say that recruits are veterans after a bloody battle, and these people have no chance to go through a bloody battle, and Ma Xuan is not willing to let them go to the front line to die.

The people who were soldiers and carried guns, and took the court's money, naturally had to put their heads and lives aside, which was their mission that they could not change. There is no need for these people to die.

They never owe Daming anything, so they don't need to fight with their heads.

Although there were quite a few people who wanted to go to the front, Ma Xuan had no choice for the sake of stability.

Du Shanbai defended with Xiao Anu, he was just a strategist, and he was not bad at using troops, and he was the most suitable for defending the city.

The others have their own arrangements, and anyway, Ma Zhang's arrangement is enough for the 100,000 border troops in Datong Mansion to completely block the left flank of the Tatar army stationed near Huai'anwei.

As for the other side, whether it can be sealed or not, it is not a question for him to consider.

With only more than 40,000 men under his command, it was not easy to deal with the onslaught of a Tatar army of 300,000, and he also had to face the pressure of the imperial army.

The man who carried the hat all day long often dangled in front of Ma Xuan's eyes, but he didn't believe that the imperial court would be so kind. I'm afraid that before Wang Zhou exterminated those Tatar armies, the court would attack him.

As a brother for many years, of course he didn't want Wang Zhou to have an accident, after all, brothers who have been for so long always have feelings.

However, if he was given a chance to make a trade-off, he still wouldn't choose to rebel with Wang Zhou.

The fledgling Ma Xuan is just a small border sergeant who is angry with his father, with no official position, and the hair on the corner of his mouth is still his appearance. In the words of some old masters, he is just a yellow-mouthed child.

It was Zhang Ru who gave him the opportunity, and through his own efforts, he has today's achievements.

Zhang Ru's kindness, for him, is the same as reconstruction.

Regardless of whether Zhang Ru is in a coma, dies, or disappears, he will not do anything to be sorry for the boss.

After everything was arranged, Ma Xuan personally stationed himself at the Mandarin Duck Pass, waiting for the Tatar army to attack.

During this period, his envoys also reached the Tatar camp, and his only purpose was to paralyze the Tatar Tuhu.

Otherwise, with such a large-scale army movement, it would be impossible for the Tatar army under his nose to turn a blind eye. If a suitable reason is not given, the 300,000-strong army will attack, and his 100,000 people will not be able to carry it for long.

Xuanfu, Baoguo Gong Zhu Yong occupies the General Military Mansion, he is the commander of this conquest army, and the young Xuanfu General Soldier is nothing in front of him.

"Grandpa Guo, this Wang Zhou has made it clear that the carriage and horses are going to oppose the imperial court, at this time, it is best for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." After reading the letter, the young general soldier Guo Huai cautiously put forward his opinion.

He is a protégé of the old department of Baoguo Gong, and in front of his master, he naturally has to be cautious when speaking.

Not to mention that Zhu Yong is the Duke of Baoguo in the current dynasty, even if Zhu Yong is not the Duke of Baoguo and is disrespectful to his master, he will make the army laugh.

Although Master has been killed in battle for many years, he is still his Master. In the past, I just didn't have the opportunity to talk to the master in person, but now that I have it, I should naturally have the due respect.

Zhu Yong handed another letter in his hand to Guo Huai: "Don't rush to make a conclusion first, let's talk after reading this letter." ”

After reading it, Guo Huai looked suspicious, he was a little confused, because of the content of the letter, because of the attitude of Wang Zhou and Ma Zhang.

"This" Guo Huai scratched his head and said: "Grandpa, forgive me, the last general will be dull, I really don't understand what this means." ”

Zhu Yong said lightly: "Wang Zhou said that the Xuanfu army is invited to cooperate in the battle, and the manpower needed is 100,000. The soldiers and horses that my Xuanfu can use now are exactly 100,000. ”

Guo Huai immediately said: "Grandpa, did you miscalculate, now there are 230,000 soldiers and horses in Xuanfu." ”

Zhu Yong snorted coldly: "My father is not old and confused, most of the soldiers who can fight in Xuanfu were brought to Liaodong by Zhang An, and your 230,000 are just patchwork." The soldiers who can fight, except for the original Xuanfu veterans, are few useful. ”

Guo Huai immediately admitted his mistake: "Yes, it was the last general's negligence." But grandpa, this Wang Zhou has set up a banner to rebel, I'm afraid something is wrong! ”

Zhu Yongdao: "What my father thinks is wrong is not Wang Zhou's kid, but what the old man thinks is wrong is Ma Zhang's kid." It stands to reason that since he has already torn his face with Wang Zhou, he should not help Wang Zhou speak at this time, unless"

"Unless what?" Guo Huai also vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say it explicitly.

"Unless they have agreed together, dig a pit for the Tatars, and let these ambitious Tartars jump into it on their own. If that's really the case, Zhang Wenxuan, who is lying on the bed and doesn't stop, has played a trick on the world again. Zhu Yong guessed.
