Putting such a big loophole and pretending not to see it already shows that the two sides are just making a show, just trying to pull the flag and pull the tiger skin to scare it first. It's just that Yang Chendong can also understand that the information is so underdeveloped, even if one party is attacked, when the news reaches the ears of the other party, I am afraid that it will be too late, and then send reinforcements, what's the point?

Yu Mian naturally knows this truth. It is more clear that what Zhang Quan wants is just a great righteousness, and he wants to use Shicheng to shock some Mongolian troops who want to fight Datongfu. As for really sending reinforcements to help, forget it. In the past few days, he has heard more than once that the food of the mercenaries is not much worse than that of him, the town guard eunuch, and that is just the food, which Datong Mansion cannot afford.

Anyway, the matter of negotiation was finally a result, and Yu Mian could be regarded as having completed a political task, while his heart was relaxed, he also focused on another matter, looked at Yang Chendong and asked, "Sixth Young Master, have you really made a decision, do you want to take Dalu City?" ”

"Yes, it's going to take there, I sent people from the Security Service to investigate the situation there, and the information has been fed back, there are only 10,000 Tatar troops belonging to Tokhtobuhua's subordinates, of which 5,000 are still infantry, hehe, in front of the mercenaries, it's not worth mentioning." Yang Chendong smiled and admitted that he could say this, obviously he had made up his mind.

Although Yu Mian is the city lord, he doesn't know how much worse it is compared to Yang Chendong's power, and he only has the right to suggest some things, not the right to decide. Now hearing that Yang Chendong seemed to have made up his mind, he said cautiously: "Sixth Young Master, Dalu City is the barrier land in the northwest of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and it is also a buffer zone between our two sides. ”

"Yes. That's what I want. Let me tell you this, I got the news that the Northern Ming Dynasty is considering giving an order to the guards of the Nuer Gandu Division, so that they can cut off our logistical supply routes, if this is the case, what about the food and grass of the army? What about the security of Shijo? That's what they forced me to do. ”

Yang Chendong said this with a helpless look, and after he finished speaking, he surprised Yu Mian with another sentence, "This time, I not only want to get through Dalu City, but I also have to go to Beiming Jingshi in person, and some people want to meet them." ”

"Ahh No, no. Yu Mian was really frightened at this meeting, and said with a panicked face: "Sixth Young Master, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, once the Northern Ming Dynasty really wants to deal with you, in their territory, once something happens, how good is the entire Yang family, it will be a big mess." ”

Seeing that Yu Mian was so anxious, Yang Chendong was very pleased, which at least showed that the other party was really doing his own good, and while he was moved, he said confidently, "Don't worry, as long as you occupy Dalu City, it is equivalent to opening the door to the northwest of the Beiming Jingshi, unless the other party is ready to make a decision to fight to the death with the mercenaries, otherwise, they will not dare to touch me casually." Besides, I have already given an order to the Security Bureau and the Chiji City side, some elite cold fronts will enter the Beiming Jing Division as quickly as possible, and the elite cold fronts of a regiment are enough to have a deterrent effect. Yang Chendong waved his hand very indifferently. For others, it may be extremely dangerous to enter the Beiming Jingshi at this time, but Yang Chendong is really nothing to Okura. Unless the other party can solve himself in an instant with the power of thunder, but if he is given a little time to react, others will not want to kill themselves.

Yang Chendong was so confident that he made a decision. Yu Mian knew that he had no way to say anything, what he could do was to be optimistic about the city during the time when the sixth young master was not in Shicheng, so that the rapid development of this place would not be annoying.

And just three days after Yu Mian met Yang Chendong, there was a big move in the Shicheng military camp. Leng Feng's 3rd Division, plus the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment, which had fully replenished the supply of troops, finally set off.

This time they will make their way north from the First City to the Golden Horde-controlled region of Siberia, where they will engage in a head-on battle with the so-called Golden Family. And for this expedition, Yang Chendong just provided military supplies enough for two hundred carriages.

In the Yang Mansion, in front of Yang Chendong stood Wu Sheng, the commander of the third division, Chen Bo, the political commissar, Changchun Yang, the third regiment, and Ye La, the head of the Jurchen cavalry regiment.

"This expedition is of great significance, I believe that all the steppe tribes will pay attention to you, my requirements are also very simple, to show the prestige of mercenaries, to fight until the enemy is terrified, to fight until they hear your name will not be scared, sleep well, do you have the confidence to complete this mission?" Yang Chendong looked at the four of Wu Sheng one by one, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Naturally, the four of Wu Sheng all replied in unison.

"Well, I have confidence in you guys too. But I still want to tell you, all the way north, that you may attack while you occupy some important military points, and if necessary, allow you to expand your own troops, and ask you to fight steadily. Two hundred wagons of logistics and supplies can't last long for the army, and you must have a safe enough supply channel behind you, which is also the foundation of your survival, understand? Yang Chendong knows very well that fighting a war is a matter of money and logistics.

In modern warfare, often a shell is fired, even tens of millions or more, even if a shot is fired, it may cost a dollar or even more, which is why between countries, in case of trouble, is mostly negotiated, unless necessary, will not be easily used. However, at this time, although the army did not have the consumption of heavy firearms, the soldiers also needed money for food, drink, and Lazar, and the army did not have enough food and grass as a foundation, which could easily lead to unstable morale and problems.

"Steady and steady, step by step, this is what we ask of you, and I am here waiting for your victory report." At the end of the meeting, after Yang Chendong said this, a team of about 10,000 people from the Third Division and the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment left Shicheng and headed north.

At this time, it was still snowing heavily. It is said that such weather is not suitable for the movement of troops, and even the escort of grain and grass has brought great difficulties. But Yang Chendong doesn't want to wait any longer, the time in a person's life is limited, and if he wants to complete his life goal, he must seize every minute of time. As for the heavy snowfall, it will eventually have to be experienced, so instead of slowly adapting to it in the future, it is better to start here.

"Young master, there is heavy snow everywhere, and there are no roads in some places, so it is really troublesome for the army to move." Hu Mang stood beside Yang Chendong, standing on top of the tower of the first city, looking at the back of the army that was gradually moving away, and said with a little feeling.

"yes, it's a bit of trouble. But the real strong army will not stop because of the bad weather, we mercenaries are to create miracles, to make all the impossible possible. Yang Chendong first nodded in agreement, and then said in a very heroic tone. And after saying this, he turned his attention to the surrounding generals, "Let's go, now that everyone is here, we will have a meeting to discuss the matter of attacking Dalu City." ”

The city of Aru is also known as the city of Alu. In present-day Inner Mongolia, the white flag is set in the west. Ming Jin Youzi "Northern Expedition Record": In the eighth year of Yongle (1410) Zhu Di's northern expedition, "Jinshui moraine traveled more than ten miles, and there was an ancient city near the road. The instructions said: "This answer to the bone city is also, I try to hunt here."

The southeast area of Alu City is the future Zhangjiakou, which is already the border of Hebei, and thus enters the Northern Ming Jingshi, and the distance is much closer. In other words, once it occupies this place, it is equivalent to setting up a sword of Damocles in the northwest direction of the Northern Ming Jing Division, which can be dropped at any time to play a deterrent role.

The meeting took place in the newly built battle conference room in the city lord's mansion. In front of the huge sand table, Yang Chendong divided the labor among the leaders of his subordinates one by one. "Yu Mian City Lord, you are still staying in the city in this battle, responsible for the security and normal development order in the city, and there is also the problem of food and grass for the army, which must be in place in time. It won't be long before a new batch of supplies from Chichicheng will arrive, and you will need to do the reception and registration work. ”

"Commander Suhe, this time your Tatar cavalry regiment will take the lead, I know that Amu Gulang, who is guarding the city of Talu, is your old friend, if possible, it is best to take the city without a fight, and you will be remembered for a great achievement. On the contrary, if the other party is stubborn, then we will not be blamed, and then there will be a river of blood, and you have to be prepared for this. ”

"Hu Mang, you take the independent regiment to follow the head of the Su He regiment, once the war starts, support at any time, by the way, you can choose two 100 mm mortars in the warehouse in the city to use in the siege."

"Commander Lu Zhuo, you are responsible for transporting grain and grass with the second reinforced cavalry regiment, and at the same time, the three new regiments are also at your disposal. But this time it was not for them to go up to fight, but to build roads. In the treasury, the lord of the city has prepared shovels and brooms for you, and asked you to clear a slightly flat road to the city of Taru, and the three regiments of recruits are mainly responsible for the safety of our rear flank, and beware of the attack of the Tatar cavalry on the nearby mountain of Saihan. ”

After saying this, Yang Chendong seemed to think of something and looked at Yu Mian and said: "When the next batch of materials arrives, the corresponding cement plant equipment and staff will also be in place, we can't look forward to everything in the city, especially the cement, it is too heavy and troublesome to transport, if the city wants to develop, there are still some factories, this cement plant is in the first batch of construction, it should be built earlier, once you can make your own cement, there are many roads that need to be rebuilt in the future, you have to worry about this matter." ”
