Chapter 832. Ringworm of the skin.

……
Under Bagen's order, Gugen did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged more than ten teams of scouts to leave the camp overnight and rush to the east of Jiezhou City to patrol.
After sending a scout, Bagen was still a little uneasy, turned his head to look at Wang Quan again, and asked, "Mr. Wang, have you received any useful information over there?" Especially the Han army east of Jiezhou City, has there been any change in the recent past? ”
At present, there are only two ways to gather intelligence, one is to rely on probing horses, and the other is to rely on Wang Quan's contacts in Shaanxi and Gansu.
Seeing Bagen asking himself, Wang Quan felt that he was deeply valued, and his heart was full of pride, but he said with affirmation: "Lord Bagen, I haven't received any abnormal information here!" Please also rest assured that my Wang family is full of eyeliner in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the border army of the Ming Dynasty can't hide it from my eyes! In my opinion, the Tanma from the east only returned to the camp a little later, not that they encountered any accidents, maybe they will return to the camp in the next moment, Lord Bagen does not have to worry at all, you also know how cowardly the Han army is, and what do they dare to do! ”
Hearing Wang Quan's words, Bagen nodded and said, "Since Mr. Wang Quan said this, then I will be relieved......
It's just that, having said that, Bagan's mood is still faintly uneasy, and he always feels that something is wrong.
At the same time, most of the Mongolian leaders in the tent also had a somewhat solemn and serious expression, even if Sigmu had always been at odds with Bagan, he did not take the opportunity to jump out and laugh at Bagen at this time, but he also thought about something with a serious expression.
The Ming Dynasty is a behemoth for the Mongolian tribes after all, just the number of Shaanxi and Gansu people is equivalent to several times the population of all Mongolian tribes, and the Mongolian coalition army is now deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a danger of being surrounded at any time, so they are disdainful of the Han people on the surface, but in fact they are very inward-looking, once they encounter some turmoil, they will be secretly frightened for a long time.
The disappearance of Tanma not only alerted Bagan, but many people in the tent were shocked when they learned the news!
What is certain is that if the horses from the east have not returned to the camp, many people are destined to lose sleep tonight, and after tomorrow, many people will stand up and propose to withdraw their troops and return to the grassland.
However, at this time, someone suddenly entered the big tent and reported: "Lord Bagan, Mr. Wang Quan's servant has rushed outside the camp, saying that there is urgent information to inform Mr. Wang Quan!" ”
After hearing this report, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked again.
Could it be that there was really a change in the Han army?
Thinking of this, Bagan hurriedly said, "Let him in!" ”
A moment later, I saw a Han man hurrying into the big tent.
For this Han man, all the Mongolian leaders in the tent are somewhat familiar, this person's name is Wang Fu, who has been responsible for contacting the Wang family's remaining eyeliner contacts in Shaanxi and Gansu during this period of time, and is to convey news to Wang Quan about Shaanxi and Gansu, and has been in and out of the camp of the Mongolian coalition army many times.
According to Wang Quan, Wang Fu is a loyal servant of the Wang family!
As the so-called adversity sees the truth, after the Wang family was uprooted by Zhao Junchen, this person is still inseparable from the Wang family, and also took the initiative to come to the grassland to find Wang Quan, wanting to continue to work for the Wang family, when the Wang family decided to use the Mongols to retaliate against Zhao Junchen, Wang Fu is also resolutely supportive, this period of time has been hard work, for Wang Quan's revenge plan and running everywhere, such loyalty can be recorded in the annals of history!
If it is said that when Bagan collects intelligence, he can't do without Wang Quan's connections and eyeliner, then when Wang Quan contacts his eyeliner connections, he can't do without Wang Fu's running around!
In this respect, Wang Fu is simply the head of intelligence of the Mongolian coalition army.
At this time, after seeing Wang Fu appear, Wang Quan couldn't wait to ask: "Wang Fu, what happened when you came to see me in such a hurry?" ”
Wang Fu hurriedly said: "Fourth prince, I went to Haiyuan City yesterday to contact the informant, but I learned an important news, but it was He Zhang, the famous general of Guyuan Military Town, who was not angry that the army of Guyuan Military Town did not dare to support Jiezhou City, and let Jiezhou City be besieged by the Mongolian army, so he had a big quarrel with Fang Zhenshan, the chief soldier of Guyuan Military Town!" Then, in a fit of anger, He Zhang actually led his troops alone to support Jiezhou City! He also said in front of Fang Zhenshan, saying that he was going to sneak attack the Mongolian camp! It is also said that it is to let the Mongolian army know the strength of the Han soldiers, even if it cannot relieve the siege of Jiezhou City, it will make the Mongolian army frightened and suspicious, and dare not attack the city with confidence, so as to relieve the pressure on Jiezhou City! ”
As he spoke, Wang Fu wiped the sweat on his head with a tired face, and said: "After learning the news, I hurried back to report the news, and I finally caught up with He Zhang!" ”
Because Zhao Junchen deliberately blocked the news, Wang Quan only knew the news of Zhao Junchen's formation of a new army of soldiers, but he didn't know that He Zhang had left Guyuan Military Town and became the commander of the new army of soldiers, and thought that He Zhang was still an unsociable general in Guyuan Military Town.
However, after all, He Zhang is one of the top generals in Shaanxi and Gansu, so after Wang Quan heard Wang Fu's report, he hurriedly relayed it to Bagen and others in Mongolian.
He Zhang has always been very active in the war against the fire sifting into the Kou, not only the major tribes of the Mongolian right wing have heard of him like thunder, even Bagen has heard of this person's name.
After learning the news that He Zhang was about to lead the troops to attack, everyone attached great importance to it.
Qi Gemu had fought with He Zhang, but he didn't take advantage of it at all, and at this time he couldn't wait to ask: "He Zhang is here to lead the troops?" When did He Zhang depart from Haiyuan City? ”
After Wang Quan asked Wang Fu about it, he replied to Qi Gemu: "When Wang Fu received the news, it was already a little late, and He Zhang had already led his troops out of Haiyuan City two days ago and rushed in our direction!" Wang Fu originally thought that he would not be able to catch up, maybe He Zhang had already attacked the camp of the Mongolian coalition army, but he didn't expect that after He Zhang came here, there was no news at all, and there was no action. ”
At this time, Bagan suddenly sneered: "No action? Not necessarily! I have also heard of He Zhang, who is a rare brave general among the Han people, how can he not make any moves? Perhaps, the disappearance of the scouts in the east is his ghost! Otherwise, things wouldn't be so weird! ”
Then, Bagen asked with a serious expression: "How many troops did He Zhang lead to attack?" ”
After Wang Quan asked Wang Fu again, his face was relaxed, and he said to Bagen: "He Zhang has always been unsociable in Guyuan Military Town, no one is willing to help him, he himself is just a garrison, there are only 5,000 troops under his command, aside from some of the old and weak, but also to leave some troops to guard the territory, and the two thousand combatable soldiers under his command can be regarded as the sky!" ”
After hearing Wang Quan's statement, Bagen couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Are you sure there are only 2,000 people?" ”
Wang Quan was still full of affirmation, and said: "There will never be a mistake, there are only so many combatable soldiers in He Zhang's headquarters!" ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Bagen naturally felt a sense of relief in his heart.
A force of just 2,000 people, even if it is led by a famous general, will never be taken seriously by Bagan.
It's just a problem of ringworm!
