Just when the two were discussing, someone hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Zhang Can, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "King Qi, the big thing is not good, the spies sent by Yang Bo just now reported that the Tatars seem to be showing signs of returning to the army, and the Tatars who are looting in many places are gathering!" ”

Zhang Can saw the person who came and hurriedly picked it up and said with a smile: "Xue Tongzhi, you and I have been friends for many years, so there is no need to be so polite!" ”

If Xu He was present, he would definitely be surprised to see this Xue Tongzhi.

It turned out that the person who came was the commander of the former military governor's mansion, Xue Yongzhi's fellow clan-Xue Zongkai.

Xue Zongkai said: "His Royal Highness has secretly promoted the subordinate officials for many years, from the side branch of the Shanyang Marquis Mansion, and now sits in the position of the commander of the former Military Governor's Mansion. ”

Then, Xue Zongkai turned his head to Linzi Marquis Cai Long and bowed and said, "Hou Ye! ”

Cai Long had a smile on his face that he had just smiled at Zhang Can, and nodded quite majestically.

Xue Zongkai was Cai Long's subordinate before he served as the governor of Tongzhi.

Later, because Zhang Can wanted to hide the connection between the Fifth Military Camp and Cai Long, he asked Cai Long to nominate a person who would be operated by him as the commander of the former Military Governor's Office.

Later, because Xue Zongkai was a relative of the Shanyang Marquis Mansion, and because Xue Zongkai was very respectful to himself, Cai Long recommended him to Zhang Can after many inspections and temptations.

He and the dead Yanzhou Bo Yuji are actually from the Qi Palace.

It's just one in the light and one in the dark.

is also because Xue Zongkai is a person from the Fifth Army Battalion, so it goes without saying who arranged the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion who assassinated Xu He before.

Cai Long said to Zhang Can: "There are several possibilities for the Tatars to gather men and horses, one is to return to the army and the Beijing Division, and then try to break the city by luck!" ”

"What then?" Zhang Can also knew that there was a powder keg in the city now, but if there was a Martian seed, the Tatars might be able to pick up a ready-made one.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, let's take control of the situation as we said before! The people in the city are patrolled and guarded by people from our five military camps! Even if the Tatars come, if they try to attack the city without success, they will naturally retreat! ”

"Moreover, we can also use a trick to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf!"

Zhang Can suddenly smiled and said, "Xu He! ”

Cai Long said with a smile: "Your Highness is really heroic and intelligent, and you can understand it at all. ”

Zhang Can said proudly: "There is more! If the Tatars don't come to Beijing......"

"The second possibility, the Tatars retreat! This situation is even more beneficial to us, and we can take this opportunity to further sort out the Jingshi! ”

"Hmm!"

"The third kind is that the Tatars are going to the Caoku autumn grain in Tongzhou."

"This can't be given to them, the imperial court is in deficit every year, if there is no silver, what will happen in the future?"

Cai Long smiled: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already thought of a way." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Xue Zongkai: "Your Highness can use the name of the prison country to order Xu He to go to Tongzhou for rescue." ”

"Or do you want to drive the tiger and devour the wolf?"

"That's right, if he doesn't go, we can settle accounts after the autumn, he goes, no matter whether the plan succeeds or not, I still have a killer move!"

Zhang Can was overjoyed: "Linzi Marquis say it quickly!" ”

Cai Long said to Xue Zongkai: "As long as Xu He sets off for Tongzhou, then let Zongkai go north to Qinghedian." ”

"The main forces of the Tatars have all gone to attack Tongzhou, and it is impossible for Xu He's soldiers and horses to save Tongzhou."

"But when he went, he attracted the attention of the Tatars to Tongzhou, and the goods looted by the Tatars were concentrated in Qinghedian. In order to use the crime of defeating the army to deal with Xu He, and to use the matter of the Zong armor to correct His Royal Highness's name! ”

Zhang Can was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said to Cai Long: "The Marquis of Linzi is really the king's son!" ”

Xue Zongkai on the side hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Your Highness Xie and the Marquis of Linzi gave me this opportunity to make a contribution!" ”

……

That night, the Tatars did not come to harass the soldiers and horses of the Tianjin Sanwei.

This made Xu He, who had always been worried, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Their team, which was originally improvised, was improvised, and they would be unencompromising, and when they encountered a hard battle, they would easily break up.

Moreover, the city has not sent down what he needs so far, and without firearms, the combat power of this force will be greatly reduced.

In fact, the Tatars were only one side of Xu He's worries, and the other was in the city.

The strange thing is that up to now, it is only the Linzi Marquis Cai Long, the sentry of the five military camps, who has come forward to negotiate with their Qinwang soldiers and horses.

Xu He didn't know this person, but what kind of goods the Fifth Military Camp was, he already knew it from Lao Zheng and Guo Zhu.

This further confirmed the speculation that there were changes in the city and the ascension of King Qi.

But it wasn't clear in the city, and he had guessed that things had changed.

Xu He was not ready to pierce this layer of window paper at this time.

One is afraid that the army will be unstable, and the other is pretending to be confused, which is sometimes a means to confuse the other party.

There was nothing to say all night, but on the second day, the situation took a turn for the worse, first a sentinel sent out to detect that the five thousand Tatar soldiers in Luocheng had left more than half of them early this morning, and the remaining two thousand people had now evacuated Luocheng, and they didn't know where they went, anyway, they didn't go all the way with the three thousand.

"The three thousand are heading east! The remaining 2,000 people went north! ”

Hearing the report of the sentry, Tan Lun said with a grim face: "Three thousand people should have gone to Tongzhou!" ”

"The Tatars are ready to withdraw! Tongzhou has been hanging unsettled, it must be the Tatars who know that it is meat in their mouths, so they are not in a hurry to swallow it, and now they are ready to withdraw from the pass, they are taking meat! ”

"It's just that the two thousand people who went north don't know where they went? Is it to go home first? Exploring the way? ”

Xu He shook his head: "I don't think it's like it, Qingfeng Shop still has their looted goods and prisoners, they will definitely send troops to protect us before they leave!" ”

"There is also a possibility to occupy the first line of the Shahe River and arrange in advance for the army to retreat north to the outside of the pass."

"The third possibility......

Xu He said: "Could it be a plan to lure the enemy into going deeper, using Qinghedian to lure us to attack, and finally counterattack again?" ”

Tan Lun nodded: "Don't be unguarded!" ”

"Xu Horse! Xu Pony! At this time, the people at the head of the city went down to the city, and Cai Long arched his hand and said: "Xu Yuma, there is a will!" ”

Xu He arched his hand towards the city, and then waited for the person who sent the decree to arrive, and took the decree to see that it was still the seal of the prison and the emperor at the same time, but the content of the decree was ......

He handed it to Tan Lun.

Tan Lun opened it and was taken aback: "Let's go to the rescue of Tongzhou?" ”

"We're almost all foot soldiers, and what are we going to do if the enemy covers us with cavalry in the middle of the road?"

Xu He looked at the envoy and said to him, "Did you hear that?" Go back and tell the prison country! ”

The envoy arched his hand and said: "This is the will drawn up by the cabinet, and the seal of the country is supervised, please Xu Juma do not disobey the will, otherwise the national law will not allow it!" ”

Wu Decao was furious when he heard this: "We came all the way to help, and the prison country didn't even show our faces, and there were no supplies, but now we are going to die, how can there be such a reason in the world?" ”

"I don't know about this, so I'd better ask the colt to do what he wants!"
