Cao Guang tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, making a clattering sound.

Neither Zhang Hongtu nor Malin spoke.

Although the two people have different opinions, they all have their own reasons and are all for the sake of their brigade's goodness. However, the final idea still needs to be decided by the captain Cao Guang.

"Captain, how are you? Should we fight or not?" Malin couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, what Staff Zhang said makes sense." Cao Guang said, "When I was still a bandit in Daliang Mountain, I encountered the official army on Datong East Road coming to suppress it. I followed Pan Dajia to escape into the deep forest and hid. After the official army retreated, I dared to come out of the forest."

Malin frowned and said, "Captain, what do you mean is that we will retreat into the forest and avoid the encirclement of the government army."

Cao Guang shook his head and said, "In the past, I and Dadang, Pan, were bandits in Daliang Mountain. There was no way to retreat into the forest to avoid the government army. When facing the government army, I could only hide in the forest. There was no way to survive when fighting with the government army head-on. So at that time, I had to hide in the forest, because only by hiding in the forest can I survive."

The voice paused, and he continued, "It's different now. After a long period of training, our team on the mountain has no shortage of soldiers and armor. Now I ask you, if the four hundred people on the mountain fight head-on with the official army, do you think it's possible to repel the official army?"

"Give me two squadrons of war soldiers and I can defeat the Fubiao camp that came to suppress this time." Malin said with his chest patted.

Zhang Hongtu thought for a while and said, "The troops in Fubiao Camp are worse than the border troops in Datong Town. With the strength of our brigade, it should be no big problem to defeat the troops in Fubiao Camp."

"Then let's fight." Cao Guang slapped the table with his right hand.

Zhang Hongtu expressed concern and said, "The other two squadrons came to the mountain for too short time and had not been integrated yet. At this time, I was worried that our people would be killed or injured."

"How can there be no casualties when fighting in a war?" said Malin. "We can't stop fighting because we are afraid of death. I think only by fearing the government army can we never dare to come to Daliangshan to cause trouble for us."

Cao Guang nodded and agreed with Marin's words.

"I didn't say I didn't fight either." Zhang Hongtu said, "I mean wait and fight again. When several squadrons of our brigade are completely integrated, we will fight with the government army at that time."

Ma Lin said: "The government army will almost go to Daliangshan tomorrow. I missed this opportunity. I don't know when I want to train soldiers next time. Now there are no bandits in Datong. Even if there are, we are our own people in the tiger flag. And without the orders of the Military and Political Department, we cannot leave Datong without authorization. So this time is the best opportunity to train soldiers. After a fight, I guarantee that our brigade of soldiers can be transformed and become a warrior team that is not weaker than the three thousand teams."

The three thousand-person teams of the Tiger Flag were first established, and the bandit camp had the most foundations at that time, and were recognized as the strongest combat team in the Tiger Flag.

Cao Guang said to Zhang Hongtu: "If we retreat to the forest at this time, although we can avoid the encirclement of the official army, the houses built by the village will be destroyed by the official army. By then, we will not have a good winter, and there is the most important point!"

As he said that, he raised his index finger on his right hand.

"What is it?" Zhang Hongtu asked.

Cao Guang said solemnly: "Loyalty."

Zhang Hongtu showed confusion, and Ma Lin on the side was also confused.

Cao Guang said with a solemn expression: "Now most of the soldiers in our parcels are Liaodong people. When they come to our parcels, many of them just to fill their stomachs and have no loyalty to our tiger flag."

Zhang Hongtu and Marin nodded in agreement.

Although there are about 400 people in the village now, and these people obey their orders, they know that many of these people are not willing to stay in the village, just because they are so hungry that they have hunger on the way through the escape from Liaodong. They can have food, pay, and shelter from the wind and rain in the village. Only then can they stay on the mountain, and there is no loyalty.

Cao Guang continued: "This time the government army came to Daliangshan, it is an opportunity for us to cut off the retreat of these Liaodong people. As long as they kill the troops of Fubiao camp and the government army, they will have no way out in the future. Whether they want to or not, they will only stay in the mountain village."

"If so, I agree to use troops to the Fubiao camp who came to Daliangshan." Zhang Hongtu changed his words and gave up his idea of ​​hiding in the forest.

Seeing that Zhang Hongtu no longer objected, Cao Guang said: "Since everyone agrees, let's discuss how to deal with the troops of Fubiao Camp and strive to achieve the greatest results at the lowest price."

The three of them sat around the table and began to discuss how to deal with the upcoming Fubiao Camp.

………………………………………

On the official road leading to Xinpingbao in Datong Prefecture, a Ming army of six or seven hundred people is slowly moving forward.

There was a sedan chair carried by two people in the middle of the Ming army's team, and General Xu and several generals followed around the sedan chair.

"General Xu, please speed up your people. This way of walking will not be able to get to Daliang Mountain before dark." Zhang Wenhe lifted the curtain on the side of the sedan chair and said to General Xu on the back of the horse.

General Xu responded with a smile: "I definitely can't get there today, but Mr. Zhang don't worry, the team will definitely reach Daliangshan tomorrow."

Zhang Wenhe in the sedan chair frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "There is no long way from Datong Mansion to Daliang Mountain. It's a day to walk. Your Fubiao Camp really opened my eyes."

The sarcasm in the words is undisguised.

When several generals from Fubiao camp next to the sedan chair heard this, their faces darkened.

They showed dissatisfaction on their faces at Zhang Wenhe's fingers at Fubiaoying.

They had tried their best to rush along the way, without any laziness on the way, and the speed of marching along the way was not slow.

General Xu said in a deep voice: "It should be possible to walk more than twenty miles from the camp to the point where it is dark. If it were the elite infantrymen in the border army, it would be like this. Only cavalry can reach Daliang Mountain before dark."

Zhang Wenhe knew that he didn't know anything about military affairs, so General Xu said with a slight angrily or hard work. He said in a bad tone: "General Xu, don't forget, the governor is still anxious to wait for news of the successful suppression of bandits in Fubiao Camp,"

After saying that, he put his head back, put down the curtain again, blocking the window on one side of the sedan.

The Ming army walked along the Guan Road for more than five miles and stopped when they passed by a village.

"Why don't you leave?"

Zhang Wenhe, who felt that the sedan chair had stopped, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and asked General Xu on the horse's back with dissatisfaction.

General Xu smiled and said, "It's almost dark, the team is ready to camp. There is a village here. The team will camp outside the village tonight. I'll be troubled by Mr. Zhang and stay in the camp for a night."
