Wu Yunting, Cheng Youliang, Zhao Yunwen, and many military officers and staff officers all stood on the city.

Seeing the Mongolians outside the city sending most of the troops to cross the river south, everyone looked relaxed and looked a little contempt.

Cheng Youliang mocked: "The Northern Barbarians are far inferior to the Eastern Barbarians, and they have no intention or determination to attack the military fort."

Zhao Yunwen even said: "These Northern Barbarians have known that we are building a fortress for a long time, and they have no plans. They are not worried about building the fortress out at all. They don't know if they are too big or stupid."

Many young staff officers also felt strange. So far, Mongolian Rao's response was simply "chaotic" and unruly.

First, when building the fort, it was the spring famine, these northern enemies were unwilling to pay the price, so they gave up after being irritated. Later, they were killed and looted by Kou En, but they did not have too many ways to do so. Instead, they were greatly damaged by their vitality. The tribes had to shrink and their harassment on the border stopped.

Now that I have seen the military fort built here, the Northern Territory suddenly has no way to deal with it.

Cheng Youliang sighed: "When I was in Jizhen more than ten years ago, the Beilu were not as good as the current situation. They often invaded and fought life and death with our border troops. Now, even the armored soldiers are only more than the herdsmen of the past. These Taiji are even worse than those of the former Dayan Khan, Altan Khan, Bahai and others. Even if they are fried, they are old."

Wu Yunting smiled and said, "Old Cheng is blaming the Beilu for becoming more and more useless?"

Cheng Youliang said hatefully: "It's better if they're all finished. I'm worried about the East Road."

The staff present couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Although the Ming Dynasty court no longer expects Lin Danhan to send troops to attack the Donglu as promised, he still hopes that the Beilu can withstand the Jurchens' advance in the east.

However, at the last military meeting, Liu Yu clearly pointed out that the Northern Lu was powerless in the east, and more and more Northern Lu tribes would join the Eastern Lu to compete with the Eastern Lu and to invade the Ming Dynasty for the Jurchens.

Lin Danhan would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Eastern Barbarians and slowly move the tribe westward, squeezing pastures and territory of various tribes in the west, and would lead the Jurchens to the west.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has lost Guangning, there is no power to isolate the Jurchens and Mongolia. In the next step, the Ming Dynasty court is no longer worried about the problem of the Shanhaiguan defense line, but also has to worry that the Jurchens will completely control the Mongolian tribes in a few years, and then cross the Great Wall defense line from the north to the south.

Before this, all the officers were a little unbelievable about Liu Yu's statement, but seeing these northern barbarians crossing the river from Heihe Fort, they now feel that they are still more knowledgeable than others.

...

"The Northern Lu has begun to hold a big move."

Wu and Huang An walked into Liu Yu's office together. They had a thick stack of documents and intelligence on both arms, and at the same time, they were both very serious.

Wu Kaikai said: "In addition to the Taiji in Tumote, there are also Halashen, Kalaqin, Ordos and other departments, and they have mobilized 150,000 herdsmen in total. The staff of the military intelligence department and the Military Intelligence Department have been deduced, with about 150,000 to 20,000 soldiers."

Liu Yu looked at Huang An and asked, "What's the situation from Yansui to Xuanfu and other borders?"

Huang An replied: "It's quite calm. Only a large-scale offensives are invading the border, but the move is not big. The generals from Xuanfu to Yansui and the generals of the border town have taken care of. If there is a large-scale offensive, they will solve the problem by themselves. There is no big risk yet."

Wu also said: "Koen did a good job. His cavalry added some scattered horse thieves, expanded to more than 900 people, divided into several teams, sweeping away the scattered pastures near the border every day, forcing them to retreat, which made the divisions not dare to be too dispersed, so that the pressure on each town was greatly increased."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu nodded slightly.

The Beilu are now in the last period of decline in history, and are already fragmented and weak. Liu Yu knows that he must seize this opportunity.

If he didn't do it, the owners on the grassland in the future would be those Jurchens, which he would never want to see.

Huang An continued: "Recently, the Northern Barbarian Army has been divided into two routes, led by Tush and Wanhele in the west, and is active in the Heihe Fort area. The east road is led by Bai Hong Daha Taiji. Now a large number of enemy cavalry are present at several military forts on the east road. Yang Shuting has entered Xinghe Fort and coordinated the overall situation of the east road."

After hearing this, Liu Yu turned his eyes to Wu and said in a deep voice: "Have the Military Information Department ever deduced the Beilu's tactics?"

"Deduced." Wudao, "The Northern Lu have always had no choice but to attack the tough situation, and they rarely break through our Daming Border Fort, so..."

"Don't stick to the past!" Liu Yu interrupted Wu, "Now we have gone to the frontier to build forts. Have you ever had it before? Besides, the Beilu have also recorded the frequent breaks of our Daming border military fort."

Wu stood up and lowered his head and said, "I know my subordinates are wrong, so I will gather people to re-define them now."

"So quickly." Liu Yu said, "The situation seems to be smooth now, but in fact everything is in the fog. This period of time will be the most dangerous time, and there must be no slackness at all."

After the fifth day, Liu Yu summoned Zhou Tuesday and ordered: "Call the attendants to prepare. Recently, I may have to go north to inspect the forts in person, observe the situation of the northern barbarians on the grassland on the spot, decide the war, and prepare."

Wu and Huang An below were both shocked when they heard it, and they heard Liu Yu's solemnity.

Far away in the Datong Inspectorate Mansion, Hou Hai, Tao Yiqian and Zhan Buwen were also discussing the situation in the north in his study.

"After the Beilu's move, the soldiers were launched." Tao Yiqian showed a hint of admiration on his face, and said, "A businessman dared to take the initiative to go north to pick up the tiger beards of the Beilu, which really made people wonder what to do."

"It's arrogant." Zhan Bu said disdainfully, "And it's too arrogant. I'm worried that he will cause unnecessary trouble or even disaster to the Ming Dynasty."

Hou Hai nodded and said, "Mr. Zhan is right. Now the Donglu is in trouble. Most of the imperial court's wealth and military power are used on the Donglu. The Beilu was originally in peace with our Ming Dynasty. This military officer, Liu Yu, was a businessman, did not understand the general trend, and did not understand that he was originally an ant-like figure. He actually dared to provoke the Beilu? Although the Beilu has not caused trouble in recent decades, he has been under the gates of the capital many times before. To put it bluntly, although the Donglu defeated the royal army many times and occupied the entire Liao territory, they have never attacked the capital."

Tao Yiqian nodded and said, "I heard that a lot of Guangji military forts have been built, but under the siege of the Beilu army, I can only be trapped to death."
