The bald man grinned and said nothing. He found out that the officer of the Central Army today was Jiang Yi, so he rushed over.

The rest of the people didn't have to go, they all got off the horse and lay on the side of the fort gate resting with a tired look on their faces.

Several officers led the team by, but no one came to scold these men who could not maintain their military posture. Everyone knew that their raids were expending too much mental and physical strength.

Wen Zhong was confused and was carried to the military doctor by Tao Chun. He wanted to struggle. Tao Chun said, "Your subordinate is not a fool. If you have a trust on your body, can you make a mistake? Your injury is not very important, but you have to pull out the arrow and clean it up and bandage it. Otherwise, the injury will become a fever that will not go away, and you will die if you kill your life."

This was reasonable. Wen Zhong thought of this and felt even more sore and weak. So Tao Chun took him to the military doctor for treatment. Lu Da and others also received instructions, carrying a bucket of soup and hot food to come over to feed the cavalry sank beside the fort gate, so that they could recover their vitality.

The bald body is the strongest, and the spirit is well maintained. He took Jiang Yi to find Jiang Yi. After asking a few questions, Jiang Yi knew it was important and quickly took him to see Zhang Han.

Zhang Han's residence is a large courtyard house, and there are not many guards... The people living in the fortress city either believe in Han merchants or people in the Yusheng system. Few outsiders can get here. Unlike when they were in Lizhuang, merchants and transportation convoys traveling every day were flowing endlessly, and there were too many people and mixed personnel. Zhang Han's office was already isolated as much as possible, but it still required many close servants to protect them.

Zhang Han was in a clean house with maps on the walls and many handwritten notes by Zhang Han, which were mostly pasted by the pastures and current dynamics of the northern grasslands. Some of them represent the number of people. The larger the circle, the more people, the more people. In addition, they also identify the numbers of armor and soldiers of each department. There are also the directions of mountains, rivers and rivers on the map, and there are fine sand representing the Gobi Desert to the west and north. When people stand in front of this wall, it is hard not to feel a special feeling that almost all the states on the grassland are in control.

These are all the credits of the Staff Office. The young staff and drawing personnel have been running around for the past few years. This map is much more detailed than the ordinary civilian maps that Zhang Han saw in later generations. He has never seen the military maps in later generations, so he is probably much better than the ones in front of him.

⌒⌒⌒⌒,m.± There are still many files piled up on the table in the house, but there are much fewer ones than when I was in Lizhuang.

On the other side, there were defense maps of the various departments of the merchant regiment, including the baggage soldiers, and many names were posted on the blank side. When the bald man came in, he glanced at him first and saw Wang Changfu, Liang Xing and several officials recognized him. Some of the officers seemed to have some impressions after seeing the names, while others didn't know who it was.

He Yusheng is now a big family and has more than 10,000 soldiers and hundreds of officers. The situation is completely different from a few years ago.

Bald man didn't care about his feelings, so he quickly sent Li Shenming and Sun Jingting's reply letter, and the first one was Li Shenming, because Bald man knew that Li Shenming's letter was very important.

Zhang Han sat very well, including when he saw Li Shenming's letter, he still couldn't sit upright, his waist was straight, and his expression on his face did not change much. He was just a little surprised when he read it first, then he was a little angry, and then he kept frowning. While reading the letter, Zhang Han did not forget to ask Wen Zhongfa what he said, and the bald man answered carefully.

"Wen Zhongfa once went wrong," Zhang Han said gently with a smile: "This time his performance is remarkable. I remember in my heart that since you are his subordinate, you might as well pass on my words to him."

The bald man said timidly: "We are the subordinates of the adults and we should serve together."

"Ministers may not be all good." Zhang Han finally sighed heavily, put the letter on the table, and said, "Zhang Xuzong is not only my subordinate, but also my brother and a serious brother. So what? This time the matter was just caused by him. If Xu Wen and the third uncle knew, they would not know what they would think!"

Zhang Han didn't feel sorry for Zhang Xuzong. It was also the face of his third uncle Zhang Xuezeng. Zhang Xuzong always had the dual aura of a playboy and a sour literati. Zhang Han had never liked him and could not make any progress. Staying with him was just the word "reliable".

Zhang Han was also feeling this time. It seems that the word "clan" that is most valued in this era is not safe. The important thing is human. Zhang Xuzong's affairs seem to be accidental, but in fact they are inevitable. Even if nothing happens this time, something will definitely happen in the future.

As for the incident between Zhang Xuzong, after considering it, Zhang Han also found the difference.

If Wang Xinyi, the inspector, Yiyi, had done this, Zhang Han would never believe it. Just finding Zhang Xuzong, setting up a trap, and then trying to make Xuanfu Town. How could this series of actions be possible with Wang Xinyi, the inspector, and the cat and dog around him?

Judging from this incident, Zhang Han also reflected on it.

Everything went smoothly in Heyusheng before, and he did not face much pressure. He still had flaws in many systems, including financial control and docking, personnel supervision, and the most important thing Zhang Han believes is a reaction in an emergency.

Zhang Chun and others reacted quickly in this matter, but because they did not have authorization, they could not enter a state of emergency. Otherwise, they could urgently mobilize all the forces of the Inner Guard Division that night, dig three feet into the ground, and find Zhang Xuzong that night, or arrange a large number of people outside, so that Zhang Xuzong would not be transferred.

However, although Zhang Chun is a high-ranking and powerful person, he is Zhang Han’s confidant, he does not have the authority to issue this order. Yang Qiu from the Inner Guard Department would never dare to mobilize and arrange a large number of people to participate in the action without orders.

Zhang Han keenly discovered this flaw, but now is not the time to make up for the loss. What we need to do now is to solve the current problem... or even a dilemma or a crisis!

Of course, the bald man couldn't tell. Zhang Han was actually extremely nervous. He felt unprecedented pressure.

If Zhang Han raised the flag at this time, there would definitely be many people following him, but the chance of success was too much. The most optimistic result was that he could maintain the support of the grasslands in the Lizhuang area in a short period of time, and then go through hard battles to consolidate the territory he has seized. The foundation of the mainland will definitely be completely damaged. Without the support of the mainland's financial resources, he would really farm in the north. If he wants to increase his strength, decades of hard work may not be as strong as the current one.

Zhang Han also felt that things were developing rapidly and uncontrollable... He had always arranged many things in an orderly manner, but the development of history was not based on human will. One thing might lead to the failure of a major change, which is the so-called thousand-mile dike, which collapsed from an ant hole.

Now He Yusheng's business is developing rapidly, heading north and south, the operations of chambers of commerce in various places, and the expansion of the army after sufficient financial resources in the next two or three years... However, things are not dominated by Zhang Han's imagination and will. This thing in front of him is a very unexpected emergency.

"Damn it, it's really not the time..." Zhang Han also cursed in his heart.

While pondering, Wen Zhongfa finished bandaging and rushed over after a short rest.

"Mr. Li has already made suggestions," Wen Zhongfa did not add much, but said: "If the adults want to go out, Xinghe Fort will dispatch cavalry to act according to the agreed time to attract a large number of Northern Barbarians."

Zhang Han said calmly, "This matter is serious, I will definitely leave, but I want to plan some things, you guys go down and wait first."

"Yes, sir."

The two military intelligence agencies saluted and turned around, and someone arranged for Wen Zhongfa and others to rest.

Zhang Han stood there, his eyes unable to help but bet on the map.

At this time, after the communication with Li Shenming and Sun Jingting, he had already vaguely understood the intention of the Northern Barbarians a while ago... He made great efforts to mobilize heavy troops, as if he wanted to attack Jining Fort, the goal was to lure Sun Jingting's troops to come out for a decisive battle... In addition to being able to curb the siege, this fort is too close to Qingcheng, and too close to each Bansheng land. If not, how could it be easy to withdraw tens of thousands of Han people and Han merchants? Even so, there are still many Han people who keep Bansheng land, because although the Mongolians used looting to plunder many Han people, some Han people and Han merchants felt bullying and oppression, but there were also quite a few Han people.

People were White Lotus scholars and came here voluntarily. What they felt was that safety and low taxes were very low. They voluntarily planted chestnuts and vegetables for the Mongols and made various equipment. The strength of the Tumot tribe during Altan Khan was closely related to these Han people. This time, the Beilu was very disturbed. The main reason was that Heihe Fort was too close to their hearts. He Yusheng took away a large number of Han merchants and Han people. They had already suffered heavy losses, but Qingcheng is still there, and there are Han people who depend on them. If He Yusheng is stuck on his neck at all times, this breath will be broken at any time. The senior leaders of the Beilu naturally want to solve the problem of the merchant soldiers in Heihe Fort.

The real intention of attacking Jining Fort was to lure Sun Jingting to send troops and set up a trap with more than 100,000 main force. This is also one of the common tactics used by the Mongols. The fake retreat was to lure the enemy into the pocket, and then the cavalry surrounded him from all directions to fight.

Zhang Han was also a little lucky. Judging from the report, the morale of the Heihe Fort was a little unstable. Fortunately, Sun Jingting and others withstood the pressure and kept the pace unchanged. Overall, He Yusheng still took the strategic initiative.

Moreover, as time goes by, He Yusheng's initiative will become stronger and stronger, and the Beilu will become more and more passive.

"Damn it, it's just that at this time!" Zhang Han couldn't help but curse in his heart again!

This matter is very troublesome to solve, and it is at this most important juncture. If Zhang Han leaves, Jining Fort will not be a must-have place for the Northern Territories. They will be dispersed, and the logistics pressure of each unit will be reduced. Moreover, the Northern Territories can exert a large number of cavalry and their strength is far above He Yusheng, attack separately and isolate the food routes everywhere. In this way, He Yusheng can only fight with him in advance, the losses will be greater and the costs will be greater!
