The man's face was tired, and his body was dusty, obviously driving a long way. When he came to Hu Guang, he immediately saluted: "Report to the chief, I'm back!" ”

This person was one of Hu Guang's guards to Jingshi, and he left An Gui as a helper and stayed in Jingshi.

Hu Guang saw that he was very tired, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, go back and drink a cup of hot water first." ”

It is now more than September weather, it happens to be the Xiaoice River period, the temperature has dropped sharply, and a cup of hot water is extremely comfortable for people who have been rushing for days.

The group turned back to the Juyi Hall in the eagle's beak ditch, Hu Guang first looked at the letter he brought back, and the guard was entertained, and he simply relieved his fatigue, and then came to Hu Guang to report the situation.

"Chief, Brother Angui has already taken root in Beijing. But there is a shortage of manpower, and I am afraid that it will take some time to set up a messaging channel. ”

As he spoke, he pulled slightly closer to the cage on the table that the brother from the reconnaissance company had just brought him in, lifted the cloth covering it, and continued: "This is a specially bred carrier pigeon, as long as it is released, it can fly back to Zhangjiakou." There is another carrier pigeon in Zhangjiakou that can immediately transmit the news back to Beijing. ”

Saying that, he put down the cloth and said with a little regret: "But at present, the news from the Beijing division that Zhangjiakou must still send people, and Zhangjiakou needs to be fast to send people to the base area." But I've learned how to keep pigeons, and after a while, I won't need to use fast horses anymore. ”

"Good, well done!" Hu Guang nodded and praised him. An Gui also said in the letter about the Jingshi, but it was limited to manpower and knowledge, and he did not start to collect intelligence on a large scale at present.

However, as for whether potatoes and sweet potatoes have been promoted by the imperial court, there are also the most important personnel changes in the court. An Gui can still understand it, and he also mentioned it in the letter.

After Hu Guang learned about the situation, he was still a little disappointed. His own efforts, whether in terms of crops or in terms of preventing construction, do not seem to have achieved any effect in the imperial court.

The guard returned to the base. was obviously more excited, telling Hu Guang what he had seen along the way.

"Chief, when I was in Zhangjiakou Castle, I heard about the robbery of the goods of the Eight Great Jin Merchants, and I immediately knew that this must have been done by the Heavenly Army. Haha......"

As soon as Hu Guang heard this, he let go of the situation on the Jingshi side in his heart. No matter what, I've done my best. The imperial court is still so rotten, and now it has returned to the base area thousands of miles away, and it is beyond the reach of the whip to worry about them anymore. It's better to put it down. However, the follow-up situation in Zhangjiakou needs to be understood.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang asked with a smile: "What is the situation in Zhangjiakou, let's hear it." ”

"Looking back, the Wang family made a lot of trouble for the status of the head of the family, and in the end it was the younger brother of the dead Wang Dengku who became the head of the family. Also, some of the guards and men who were shaved their heads continued to stay in Zhangjiakou without face. I've gone somewhere else. However, some of them still continue to work for their owners, but they don't want to get out of the customs even if they are killed......"

Hu Guang listened. was a little surprised, and immediately asked: "Out of the customs, they are still out of the customs?" ”

The guard nodded, and replied with a little pride: "When I left Zhangjiakou, they didn't know that we had the Heavenly Army rob them, and they were suspicious. I'm afraid that when the delivery is out of the customs again, I will meet us again and call it Tianjun. ”

"Oh?" Hu Guang's brows furrowed, and after a pause, he asked, "Are they still buying supplies and preparing to transport them out of the customs?" ”

"That's what it says." The guard nodded in reply.

This was a bit unexpected by Hu Guang. He immediately demanded: "You tell me about the situation in Zhangjiakou in detail." ”

At this moment, the cavalry regiment had finished training and returned to the eagle's beak ditch, Liu Daneng happened to enter the Juyi Hall, and when he heard the chief talking, he stood aside and waited, and at the same time listened.

"Those Jin merchants are rich, and they made a high-price purchase. Originally, those who sold it regretted it very much, and they all said that if they knew it earlier, they would sell it later. This time there was a lot of it, and it is said that those Jin merchants even sent people to other prefectures to buy it, and then shipped it to Zhangjiakou Castle. ”

Speaking of this, the guard hesitated for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "As for whether they are going to be sent out of the customs again, I don't know." At the beginning, I did recruit nurses and men, but few local people in Zhangjiakou were willing to go out of the customs. Later, there was less news about recruitment, and I didn't know if I was still recruiting. ”

Liu Daneng understood what was going on, he slapped the table and suggested loudly: "He's really fucking rich, chief, why don't we wait outside Zhangjiakou and rob him again?" ”

There were so many supplies last time, and there were even ready-made Franc machine guns, which made all the leaders sigh and pick up a big bargain. Such a good thing, at least Liu Daneng doesn't mind coming back a few more times.

Hu Guang smiled, didn't say anything, just looked at the guard and said, "Is there any other news?" ”

The guard listened, scratched his head and thought for a while, before he remembered something, and immediately replied: "It seems that I heard that those Jin merchants recruited guards and men in the group of displaced people on the west side, and I don't know if it's true or not, and the rest is nothing." ”

After Hu Guang listened, he stretched out his hand and patted him and said, "Very good, you go to rest first, maybe you will have something to do when you turn back." ”

"Yes, Chief!" The guards were indeed tired, and after explaining the situation, they went out to rest.

Hu Guang sat back in his place, looked down at the oval tabletop, and tapped it with his knuckles, sounding rhythmically.

Liu Daneng knew that this was the chief thinking about the problem, so he didn't dare to disturb, so he went to sit down and waited for Hu Guang to come up with one, two, three.

After a while, the knocking on the table stopped, Hu Guang raised his head to look at Liu Daneng, and said with a little uncertainty: "I wonder if Jianyu will still detour through the grassland at the end of this year, bypassing Shanhaiguan and attacking the land of Gyeonggi." ”

Liu Daneng originally had a trace of expectation, and was waiting for the chief's approval to rob him again, but he didn't think that this opening turned out to be the matter of Liaodong Jianyu, and he couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. However, he was also a little curious, so he immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Hu Guang is also not good at telling Liu Daneng that he is judging according to history.

Because there has been no change in the imperial court, it means that the two sides of Shanhaiguan and Dongjiang Town are still the same as in history. On the Liaodong Jianyu side, the influence of his butterfly wings is even smaller.

In this way, plus that Slave Chief Taiji is not a mediocre person, if it is not good, it will still take a detour to the grassland as it happened in history. This point can also be proved from the side from the fact that the eight Jin merchants are still buying military supplies on a large scale.

"Intuitively!" Hu Guang replied to Liu Daneng while thinking about it. (To be continued.) )
