Hong Chengchou is still calm, he is clear about the rules in the court, if he can't handle this relationship well, it has triggered many impeachments, which is very unfavorable to Su Tiancheng, besides, Su Tiancheng's policy in Shaanxi Province has offended many gentry and wealthy households, if it is because of the attack on the Mongolian tribal army, let these people find a target to attack, it will be more than worth the loss.

"My lord, do you want to write a memo to the imperial court and report all the arrangements, so that the Jiangning battalion will send troops, and no one will be able to say anything."

"I know what you mean, writing a memora to the imperial court, it won't have much effect, the situation is good now, all the rogues have withdrawn from Shaanxi and gone to Sichuan, there are not many things in the Jiangning battalion, since they are soldiers, they can't be idle for too long, if they don't fight, maybe they will be rusty, now the fighter is in front of them, fleeting, if you ask for instructions to report to the court, the time is delayed, and the opportunity is wasted."

"But in this way, the impact is too great."

"It doesn't matter, these things I did in Shaanxi have a big enough impact, waiting for the adults reprimanded by the imperial court to come to Shaanxi, if I always think about these gains and losses, then I don't need to do anything, regardless of him, we will send troops to fight the army of the Mongolian tribe."

Hong Chengchou was a little moved.

"My lord, I will take responsibility for sending troops this time, if the court blames me, everything will be on me, I decided to send troops, they want to punish and come at me."

"Hehe, don't talk about these things for the time being, let's discuss in detail how to send troops, and it will take a lot of trouble to fight the army of the Mongolian tribe."

As soon as the discussion between the two began, they encountered a problem.

On the question of who leads the troops. The views of the two cannot be unanimous.

Su Tiancheng meant, he took the elite Jiangning battalion soldiers, went deep into the Hetao area, to dig out the nest of the Mongolian tribe, Hong Chengchou took part of the soldiers, surrounded and annihilated the Mongolian army that entered the interior of the Ming Dynasty. But Hong Chengchou's opinion is the opposite.

Although it is said that the Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting, the vast majority of the Hetao area is desert and yellow sand, and in such a place, supply is very important, and if the logistics preparation is insufficient, there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated. Guides are also very important, and sometimes they don't work with maps alone.

Hong Chengchou insisted on leading his troops into the Hetao area, he didn't need too many soldiers, 5,000 people were enough, Hong Chengchou's reason was also very clear, he had led his troops to fight for many years and was familiar with many things. Besides, Su Tiancheng is the coach. Can't easily get into danger, if there is any problem with him, the Jiangning camp will still develop and grow, but if Su Tiancheng has a problem, the Jiangning camp will suffer a devastating blow, Hong Chengchou said bluntly. Su Tiancheng is already the spiritual pillar of the Jiangning Battalion, and there must be no problems.

Su Tiancheng's reasons are not so sufficient, he just feels that he is the commander of the Jiangning battalion. When encountering difficulties, you must be the first to rush forward. The trouble now is that Hong Chengchou is also the commander of the Jiangning battalion, and the supervising army is able to lead troops to fight, in some special circumstances. In this way, Su Tiancheng's reason is not very sufficient.

The two argued for a while, but neither was willing to make concessions.

In the end, it was Su Tiancheng who gave in, because Hong Chengchou was already a tendon, and he decided that he would lead his troops into the Hetao area.

The next thing is simpler, the question of how many troops to send, the problem of logistics preparations, etc., the final plan, the Jiangning battalion sent 20,000 troops, Hong Chengchou led 5,000 soldiers, went deep into the Hetao area, and attacked the nest of the Mongolian tribes, Su Tiancheng led 15,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress the Mongolian tribes in the border pass where Ningxia Wei and Yulinwei were stationed, and encircled and suppressed the Mongolian tribes and the army that penetrated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The final task, after Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou discussed, was quickly clarified.

The officers and men of the Jiangning battalion who went deep into the Hetao area must destroy the gathering places of more than three Mongolian tribes, capture the family members of the tribal leaders, and bring them back to Shaanxi.

Xiong Zijian followed Hong Chengchou deep into the Hetao area, and it was necessary to ensure the supply of soldiers, two or even three horses per person, and he would rather move slower than affect the morale of the soldiers because of insufficient supplies.

In half a day, the two of them determined the morale of most of the battle, and the 30,000 Jiangning battalion officers and men stationed in Xi'an Prefecture dispatched 16,000 people to the artillery battalion stationed in Hanzhong Prefecture and returned to follow the battle.

This time the battle is very different from the past, the distance is not very far, the Jiangning battalion set off from Xi'an Mansion and rushed to the place where Ningxia Wei and Yulinwei were stationed, at most it was four to five days, as for Hong Chengchou to lead five thousand elite soldiers to go deep into the Hetao area, at most it was ten days at most, each person was equipped with two horses or even three horses, and the speed could be greatly improved, so this battle, in fact, should start before the Spring Festival.

Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou quickly rushed to the military camp where the Jiangning battalion was stationed.

The Wei commander envoys all went to the Chinese military tent.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival is gradually thickening, because of the local poverty, the families of the Jiangning camp soldiers did not come to Shaanxi for the time being, and all stayed in Henan Mansion, if it is according to the previous arrangement, Su Tiancheng will even make a decision, during the Spring Festival holiday, the holiday will be in batches, so that the soldiers will go back and reunite with their families, this time it will not work, during the Spring Festival, many people will reunite with their families, and the soldiers of the Jiangning camp will go to war.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have actually been very bitter, since their establishment, in the process of continuous conquest, they have encountered rogues and Tartars, and they have been repeated, and there is almost no break for a long time to rest, and the team has also become stronger in the process of such a campaign, and has become an iron-blooded division that terrifies the opponent.

Looking at the familiar faces, Su Tiancheng's face was a little solemn.

Just in the place where Ningxia Wei and Yulinwei are stationed, there will not be much difficulty in encircling and annihilating the Mongolian army, and the artillery battalion can be used to the maximum extent, since the army of the Mongolian tribe likes to run and like to fight in the field, it is just right, the artillery battalion can make the Mongolian Tartars see the king of Hades unconsciously, but the soldiers who go deep into the Hetao area to fight are not so easy, to fight in a completely unfamiliar environment, you need to prepare all the supplies yourself, and it is difficult to think about it.

Su Tiancheng soon began to assign tasks.

Contrary to his expectations, many of the guard commanders and envoys were eager to try, all thinking of being able to participate in this battle, and after a long battle, everyone developed a habit, that is, to show their demeanor on the battlefield.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou had great confidence.

"The task has been clear, now I will start to point out, this time to attack the Tartars of the Mongolian tribes, mobilize 20,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, I hope everyone will work together to completely defeat the Mongolian Tartars."

"Xiong Zijian." "Here."

"You follow the Hong Jian Army and go deep into the Hetao area, your main task is to ensure the logistics supply of 5,000 soldiers, you must not be negligent, most of the Hetao area is desert, and the supply is the life of your soldiers."

"The subordinates must live up to their mission."

Xiong Zijian's face appeared a strange color, many battles, he was in the rear, this time he finally went to the front line, and it was deep into the desert to fight the enemy.

Liu Shiliang led the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to follow Hong Chengchou into the Hetao area, and Sun Yuankun led the soldiers of the 1,000-person military battalion to also follow Hong Chengchou and enter the Hetao area, so that Hong Chengchou, Xiong Zijian, Sun Yuankun, and Liu Shiliang are the core of the command.

Su Tiancheng led the Jianrui Battalion, the Forward Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Scout Battalion and the Pro-Soldier Battalion to the places where Ningxia Wei and Yulin Wei were stationed.

This time, Su Tiancheng did not use the infantry battalion, mainly considering that the army of the Mongolian tribes, most of which were cavalry, and the infantry battalion followed the battle, and there was not much advantage.

The task assignment is over, and the departure time is the 26th of the lunar month.

The time for preparation is only two days, according to Su Tiancheng's meaning, the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month will be set off, considering that the five thousand soldiers who went deep into the Hetao area need a certain amount of time to prepare supplies, so it is postponed by one day.

After the assignment was over, everyone basically left.

He Renlong was reluctant to leave.

Seeing He Renlong's expression, Su Tiancheng knew what was going on, this He Renlong was worthy of being a He madman, as long as it was a large army campaign, he would do his best to participate.

"Great, my lord, my subordinates have a request."

"Zhilu Dao, don't you just want to follow the army to fight, but this time, the opponent is the Mongolian Tatars, they are all cavalry, and the infantry battalion can't play a good role."

"The subordinates know that the subordinates mean not to lead the infantry battalion to fight, the subordinates implore them to follow the adults to fight, as long as they can go into battle to kill the enemy, they will be satisfied."

Su Tiancheng looked at Hong Chengchou, He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu, both of whom are famous generals, after Sun Chengzong's recommendation, the Jiangning battalion accepted He Renlong, and now, Zuo Liangyu followed Lu Shanji's side, and heard that the Jiangning battalion was going to expand the army, and also wrote a special letter, imploring him to be able to enter the Jiangning battalion, without him, the Jiangning battalion's record is too brilliant, as long as it is a general who wants to win the war, no one wants to join the Jiangning battalion.

There is another thing that Su Tiancheng has always kept secret, that is, Wu Sangui also wrote a letter, and the implication was that he was willing to follow Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying to fight.

"Lord Hong, you can decide this matter, I think General He is still good, since he wants to fight with the army, then follow you and go to the Hetao area."

Hong Chengchou nodded.

"He Renlong, since you are asking for war, then follow me to the Hetao area."

He Renlong was overjoyed and knelt on one knee.

"My lord, my subordinates must fight to the death." (To be continued......)
