Chapter 1732: Arrival, Departure
"It's so cold, Dad!"
After leaving Yehuling, the grassland was still cold, but fortunately there was no snow.
Wuyou was wrapped in a quilt by Fang Xing and hugged in front of the horse, behind him were Tudou and Pingan riding a pony.
When he got here, he didn't need to hide the news that his family members were coming, but it would boost morale!
Fang Xing wrapped the quilt tightly, hugged Wuyou tightly and said with a smile: "This is the grassland, baby Wuyou."
Wuyou huddled in Fang Xing's arms and asked, "Father, are you here to beat up bad people?"
Fang Xing turned around and looked at the team behind him, and said, "Yes, Dad is here to beat up the bad guys, so that Wuyou won't be bullied by the bad guys."
Wuyou shrank back into the quilt, clenched her fists in the quilt and shouted: "Father, I want to beat the bad guys too!"
"I also……"
Tudou wanted to yell, but he felt ashamed to yell after his sister, so he held back.
He looked at Ping An around him, his face was flushed from the cold, but his eyes were bright.
"Brother, can we fight?" ..
"what are you thinking?"
Although Tudou wants to prove that his little uncle is genuine, he knows that he can't even beat the servants with one hand.
"Uncle, the scouts from Xinghebao are here!"
The scout in front came back and reported.
Fang Xing rode out, Tudou and Ping An followed closely, and Zhang Shuhui and the others' carriage was at the Zhongjun's place.
A troop of cavalry came swiftly, their faces covered with cloths to save oil.
"I've seen Uncle!"
The leading Xiaoqi officer immediately handed over his hands and was about to report, but he was shocked when he saw a small head poking out of the quilt in front of Fang Xing.
Wuyou looked at these scouts curiously, and listened to Fang Xing's voice from above his head.
"How about Xinghebao?"
The scouts discovered it was a little girl,
Surprised, he saw Tudou and Ping An behind Fang Xing.
"Uncle, after Pugu came out of the side wall, he harassed him several times, but we couldn't hold on, and he had nothing to do."
"How many people?"
"Only five thousand people showed up, and the Atai Department did not attack in the camp. The number of enemy troops is getting smaller and smaller, and often hundreds of people dare to come and harass them."
"oh!"
Fang Xing turned around to look at Tudou and Ping An, but he didn't see any timidity, so he turned around and said, "Benbo is here, I want to see if Pu Gu dares to fight!"
The words are light, but with unquestionable confidence!
The scout cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Uncle is here, the end of Pugu is not far away, the little one will report back to our lord immediately and leave!"
Tudou and Pingan stared at each other with excitement. After the scouts returned, Tudou rode forward and asked, "Father, does that servant still dare to come?"
Fang Xing smiled slightly and said, "Father is here! If he comes, hit him!"
"Sister, don't be afraid, brother hit him!" Tudou raised his eyebrows.
Ping An sniffed and said, "We have guns and cannons, they can't beat them."
Fang Xing thought it was funny, but felt that Tudou was the big brother, and Ping An was very calm.
...
When Xinghe Fort could be seen in the binoculars, Fang Xing sent Wuyou to the carriage.
Wuyou just fell asleep in Fang Xing's arms, now being hugged by Zhang Shuhui, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Father, are you here yet?"
Fang Xing leaned over on the horse's back and touched her face, and said softly, "Here we are, cheer up Wuyou, we can take a shower right away, and there will be delicious food."
"Uncle, Mr. Zhang has already greeted you!"
Fang Xing nodded to Zhang Shuhui, then went to look at Xiao Bai and Mo Chou behind, and turned around.
Zhang Yu quietly led his generals and waited. When he saw Fang Xing charging towards him, he drew his sword and said, "It's a good thing that the officer did not disgrace his life. Xinghe Fort is still in Daming's hands!"
Xinghe Fort is Fang Xing's fiefdom in name, Zhu Di's original title can be said to be well-intentioned.
This is the front line, and the conquest continues!
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Zhang Yu turned his horse around and galloped towards Xinghebao first.
The Jubao Mountain guards behind them formed a team one after another, and then marched forward in order.
...
"Send scouts and tell Pugu that Ben Bo is coming!"
As soon as Fang Xing entered Xinghe Fort, he first gave this order, then took a bath and changed clothes, and went to the banquet.
Atai came, and Lu Fan, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of the construction of Xinghe City, also came, with a frowning look on his face, he said as soon as he entered: "Uncle Xinghe, if you don't come, Xinghe City will have to stop."
Fang Xing got up and hugged Atai first, and then said: "Pugu has entangled some Halie people, but it's just harassment. When Benbo comes, he will build boldly."
Xinghe City is five miles north of Xinghe Fort, and the main force of the construction is naturally the Harlei prisoners of war, with a large number of people.
"It takes a lot of money to raise those captives every day. Although they are all potatoes, they are also food!"
Lu Fan was nagging, and when he saw that it was hot pot with mutton, he immediately sniffled and said, "Your official has suffered a lot here, and I haven't seen mutton for half a month."
"So poor?"
Fang Xing asked people to sit down, and Zhang Yu asked people to bring wine.
"I drink less."
His wife and children just arrived in a strange place, Fang Xing didn't want to get drunk.
After eating, Fang Xing left Xinghe Fort with the others without asking about his wife and children.
In the cold and windy weather, a group of people came to Xinghe City, which was under construction.
huge!
In front of me is a huge semi-finished city with a circumference of about fifteen kilometers. It is conceivable how many people and warehouses it can accommodate after it is completed.
The city wall is currently only less than one meter high, and the construction is uneven. One can imagine the difficulty of construction under the harassment of the Harlei people.
Fang Xing rode his horse to the city wall, dismounted, and carefully looked at the seams of the wall bricks.
"Very solid!"
The bonding material should be mixed with glutinous rice, which is much stronger than any cement.
Entering through the reserved area of the city gate, Fang Xing saw that the inside was full of city bricks, so he asked, "Is the harassment serious?"
"sharp!"
Zhang Yu said bitterly: "Their rangers are always nearby, and they often gathered to harass them, and they were taken away by more than 700 prisoners. Later, we had no choice but to rotate, but they still ran for three days one after another. More than a hundred prisoners."
Lu Fan hated those Halie people the most. He moved a city brick in the middle of the road to the side, got up and clapped his hands and said, "Those Halie people are cunning and come from all directions. We want to guard Xinghe Fort, so There are not many troops here, and they are always taken away and captured by them, and even when there are many people, they will make a surprise attack, causing many casualties."
Fang Xing nodded and went out.
The scouts could be seen returning from a distance. Fang Xing said: "In the early spring, everything is revived. After those Harlei and Pugu joined forces, their strength increased greatly. I want to see if their courage has also grown. Send someone to , start the search with a limit of twenty miles!"
...
"The bright man is here!"
Fifty miles away from Xinghebao, there are dense tents in an open field, and Pugu is in one of the tents, talking to a man.
"Your Highness Wu En, who is here? How many soldiers and horses?"
At this time, Pugu was no longer as changeable as he was in Beijing, but awe-inspiring.
The young man sitting across from him stroked his mustache and said with erratic eyes, "More than five thousand people."
Pugu's complexion changed slightly, and he analyzed: "Mingren's reinforcements cannot be so small, unless...Your Highness, let the scouts pay attention, it's best not to fight recklessly."
Wu En's face turned pale, and he said, "Who do you think it is?"
Pu Gu shook his head and said: "No matter who it is, five thousand people, they can't do anything to us, let's test it out."
The look of vigilance reappeared in Wu En's eyes, and he said lightly, "Who will go?"
Pu Gu smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness, I took the risk to go to the capital of the Ming people, and robbed their luggage when I left the customs. It's my fault, I'll go!"
Wu En nodded and said: "I'll go to sweep the formation for you. No matter how powerful Ming people are, they still can't surround us."
Pu Gu got up and said: "Then get ready, let's go and see when they just arrived, so we can get ready for whatever happens."
Wu En asked, "Where are your two thousand heavy cavalry?"
Pugu's face was slightly cold, and he looked at Wu En dully, and said, "They can't go, otherwise, if they retreat, they will have to abandon the armor."
This is the first time that Pugu expressed dissatisfaction with Wu En. Wu En was taken aback by that look, and then felt a little ashamed, so he said, "Let's go!"
When the two walked out of the tent, Wu En waved first, and then the horns blared.
Countless Halle and Meat Charming rushed out of the tent, and they immediately ran to their war horses, and then some people began to pack up the tents and load them into cars.
In half an hour, the camp had disappeared, leaving only more than 20,000 cavalry and countless carts.
Wu En rode his horse to the front of the formation, and said: "Ming people are here, they have more than 5,000 reinforcements here, let's go and see, if they dare to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle, then they will seek their own death!"
Pugu felt that Wu En's mobilization was weak, he shook his head, and after Wu En finished speaking, he said: "Let's go investigate and meet the Ming people. If we can, then defeat them and rob their food and women. Then come back with a rewarding experience!"
"Set off!"
With the sound of horseshoes, the scouts set off first, and the carts will wait in place.
