Chapter 173 Preparations before the War
Seeing that Qiu Luan was still so anxious, Hou Rong couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Hou Rong said: "This is a trick of ours that can be called a trick to deceive the world. Since many lieutenant generals and guerrilla generals have conflicts over the food and drink of their soldiers, why don't we take advantage of their emotions?"

"I heard that the Doyan Guards were also involved in the Tatar invasion. The Doyan Guards and our Ming Dynasty have a long-standing friendship. Their language and appearance are very similar to our Han people."

"So I thought we could find two brave lieutenant generals or guerrilla generals, have their men braid their hair to look like the people of Duoyanwei, and then go to Shunyi Industrial Park to cause trouble. As friendly forces, we can protect Shunyi Industrial Park under the banner of integrity."

"At that time, as long as our army can enter the Shunyi Industrial Park, the food and money in the park will be decided by the Marshal. Even after the war, if the court investigates this matter, it will be the responsibility of the invisible and intangible Duoyan Guards, and we can earn the credit of protecting the palace's property. What do you think?"

When Hou Rong came up with his brilliant plan, Qiu Luan's eyes lit up even brighter. How could he not have thought of such a clever chain of schemes?

"Okay, okay, this is a brilliant plan! Even if Zhuge Kongming were alive, he couldn't be better than your brilliant plan."

Qiu Luan praised Hou Rong's brilliant plan without hesitation.

After praising him, Qiu Luan sighed again and asked worriedly, "The key is who should we find to pretend to be the Duo Yanwei?"

At this time, Shi Yi stood up again and said, "I have two candidates. One is Lieutenant General Liu He, and the other is Guerrilla General Zhang Changsheng. These two have long told me that they want to follow the Marshal's lead and join his camp."

"But I know that the Marshal is not a person who forms cliques or factions for personal gain, so I have been delaying the meeting between these two people and the Marshal. Now is the time for them to show their loyalty. I think I can call these two people over first and have a private talk with them. Then the Marshal can make the final decision."

Qiu Luan nodded quickly and said, "Okay, go and do it. If this matter is done, both of you will be the main contributors, and I will never treat you unfairly!"

Shi Yi and Hou Rong were delighted to hear Qiu Luan's words. They bowed to Qiu Luan and said, "Thank you, Marshal!"

Then the two of them began to make arrangements according to their own clever plans.

At the Gushan camp, Zhu Zaigui had been closely following the movements of the Anda army.

The straight-line distance between Shixiaying and Shunyi Industrial Park is nearly 100 miles, and the actual winding distance is about 150 miles. According to the normal marching speed of the cavalry, they can march about 30 miles in an hour. If they march quickly, they can reach 60 miles. However, such a march consumes too much energy of horses and people, which will make them lack strength for subsequent battles.

Therefore, the march was usually carried out at the most normal speed, and every two to three hours they would rest for half an hour to feed the horses with grass and replenish their energy.

Therefore, it would take about seven or eight hours for the Anda army to quickly get from Shixiaying to the Chaobai River where Zhu Zaigui had planned to fight a decisive battle. These seven or eight hours would be equivalent to fifteen or sixteen hours in later times.

So during this period of time, Zhu Zaigui's spirit was always tense. He had to know the location of the Anda army at all times and mark it on the map and sand table so that he could adjust his preparations for battle at any time.

The upper reaches of Chaobai River.

Zhang Tianci led more than 7,000 people and fought for two days and nights and finally blocked the Chaobai River. After several days of water storage, they finally accumulated the water from the upstream to an invincible state that could rush down like thunder.

Now Zhang Tianci is leading a 50-man demolition team to stay on the temporary dam upstream of the Chaobai River. The remaining people have been withdrawn to the front line of the industrial park for defense. Among them, 3,000 people are from the newly formed cavalry battalion, and their horses are the spoils of war that were previously snatched from Zamusu and Guruge.

Zhu Zaigui originally wanted to gather all these cavalrymen in his own hands, but for the safety of the industrial park, Zhu Zaigui left them in the industrial park and asked them to cooperate with the firearms and other arms there, relying on the Chaobai River to make the most solid defense and attract the first and most fierce test attack from Anda. Zhang Tianci looked at the increasingly wide water surface, and the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down.

He has always been worried that not much water will be accumulated during the dry season before the autumn flood, which will hinder Prince Yu's plan.

Fortunately, they had the right time, place and people in this battle. Prince Yu led a special force to fight the Tatar army in Miyun area for several days, effectively stopping the Tatar army's advance and giving Zhang Tianci enough time.

So even though it is the dry season of Chaobai River now, Zhang Tianci still lived up to everyone's expectations and completed the construction of the dam and water supply with guaranteed quality and quantity.

Now we just have to wait for Prince Yu’s order to blow up the dike and complete a beautiful water attack that will decide the outcome!

Feng Bao was also nervously guarding the defense position on the Chaobai River front line. He looked at the dried-up Chaobai River in front of him, and his whole body was trembling.

He was also very clear about his mission. His mission was to stand on this line of defense and severely fight back the first wave of attacks from the invading Tatar bandits, thereby attracting more Tatar main forces to rush into the dried-up Chaobai River to fight with them.

If he could successfully attract a sufficient number of Tatar bandits to rush into the river which now seemed to be dry and harmless, then the outcome of this battle could be said to have been largely determined.

So when faced with such great pressure and such great credit, it was almost impossible for Feng Bao not to be excited.

You have to know that if a eunuch wants to leave his name in history, he may have many opportunities in his life, but there may only be one or two chances to leave a good name.

Now that such an opportunity is before him, Feng Bao feels not only excited but also filled with endless anticipation.

He really hoped that he could stand out in this battle and become a wise eunuch praised by future generations.

For this reason, Feng Bao believed that he would not hesitate to become food for the fish in the Chaobai River in order to complete the mission.

In Shunyi Industrial Park.

Chen Hong and Li Fang are also actively preparing all defensive measures when the war starts. After all, the number of enemies is so large that in addition to relying on the defense of the Chaobai River front, they also have to make some preparations themselves.

Otherwise, if a group of them slipped through the front-line defense and reached them, they would be doomed, so it was never too late to be cautious at this time.

After all, this industrial park is not only filled with huge wealth and wounded soldiers retreating from the front line, but also with their respective futures. Once there is any accident here, those material possessions and the lives and interests of others will not be negligible, but their lives and future will certainly not be saved.

Therefore, at this time, Chen Hong and Li Fang mobilized the only men and horses in the industrial park. Relying on the geographical advantages and weapon advantages of the industrial park, they built the last firewall to prepare for any eventuality and ensure the safety of Shunyi Industrial Park.
