Li Shuheng glanced at the few riders coming from afar and said, "This guy Huang Hong, you won't let the boss breathe a sigh of relief at the end of the year."

Huang Hong is the deputy director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, specializing in spy detectives who are responsible for inquiring about various information.

His arrival made Li Shuheng understand that he must have brought back some important news.

Soon, Huang Hong and others chased after him.

"Master, news is coming from the capital." As soon as he caught up, Huang Hong whispered to Liu Heng.

Liu Heng nodded slightly and then said, "Let's talk about it when you go back."

The capital is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. There is never any trivial matter in the news that comes from the capital, especially the news that Huang Hong needs to bring back in person.

Huang Hong controlled the horse a step slower and followed Liu Heng.

Back at the residence, Liu Heng got off the horse, handed the reins to a guard beside him, and walked into the yard by himself.

Li Shuheng and Huang Hong, who also dismounted, followed closely behind him and entered the yard together.

Liu Heng returned to the office signing room, sat behind the table, and said to the two people who came into the room with him: "Look for a place to sit by yourself."

Li Shuheng walked to a seat close to Liu Heng and sat down.

Huang Hong walked forward two steps, stood in front of Liu Heng's desk, took out a letter, and handed it over with both hands.

On the other side, Zhao Wu held the newly brewed hot tea and placed it with Liu Heng.

Liu Heng took the letter, glanced at the complete paint mouth, then opened it, and pulled out a piece of white paper with words.

He quickly finished reading the contents of most white papers.

"Is something wrong with the imperial court?" Li Shuheng couldn't help but ask when he saw Liu Heng put down the letter in his hand.

Huang Hong also looked at Liu Heng.

Although he sent the letter himself, he knew nothing about what it was, only knew it was a secret letter sent in a hurry from the capital.

"The Chahar tribe sent an envoy to the capital and met the chief minister of the cabinet. In addition, Datong has changed again. General Ma was transferred to Yulin as general, and Yang Guozhu took over the position of general Datong." Liu Heng handed the letter to Li Shuheng.

Zhao Wu, who was standing aside, took the letter and handed it to Li Shuheng.

Li Shuheng picked up the letter and read it.

After reading it, he said, "It seems that the court does not plan to attract us, it is time to take action against us."

"The elite soldiers of the imperial court are all in Liaodong. The imperial court cannot use troops to deal with us for the time being. Even if we do it, we will have to wait until the new soldiers from Datong and Xuanfu are trained." Liu Heng picked up the teacup and blew the heat inside.

Li Shuheng said: "As soon as General Ma left, we were torn apart in Datong's network of relationships. Over time, I am worried that the officials in Datong will be alienated from us."

"This is also a normal thing," said Liu Heng. "The court cannot watch us grow stronger. However, local affairs are far from what the officials in the court think. To deal with our tiger flag, it is not enough to rely on two newly built camps."

The Ming army had about 3,000 soldiers and horses in one battalion. Many times, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. Such a few soldiers could not threaten the tiger flag at all.

Li Shuheng frowned and said, "Yang Guozhu has been secretly collecting evidence of our rebellion. Now that he has become the general of Datong, it will be a little trouble for the convoy to come to the grassland from Xinpingbao in the future. He will not be able to put our convoy with the tiger flag out of the border town so smoothly."

"Then don't go to Xinpingbao, but go from Zhangjiakou." Liu Heng said, "The Xinpingbao road can allow other merchants from Ming Dynasty to go. Only merchants from Ming Dynasty can earn money on the grassland. They will definitely have a way to bribe border generals and come to Qingcheng. Moreover, Yang Guozhu cannot stop such a thing, otherwise he will offend those border generals in Datong."

Li Shuheng thought for a while and said, "The letter also said that the envoy of the Chahar tribe went to the capital. I think Lin Danhan did not give up on his plan to deal with our tiger flag. He wanted to join forces with the Ming Dynasty."

"This is a troublesome thing. Now I can only keep Wang Yuncheng's eye on it and not give Chahar's troops a chance to get close to Qingcheng." Liu Heng said.

Li Shuheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Will the imperial court send troops from Liaodong to Datong or Xuanfu? After all, Liaodong is not only stable in the hands of Sun Chengzong, but also recovered hundreds of miles of lost territory."

Although the tiger flag has some capital, it is not enough to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

"No." Liu Heng shook his head lightly and said, "Once the court transfers troops from Liaodong, the slave thieves will never miss the opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan. They can only take down Shanhaiguan. The slave thieves army can drive straight into the capital. It is very important to our tiger flag compared to Shanhaiguan."

Li Shuheng nodded and said, "So, the Chahar tribe is the most threatening to our tiger flag."

"The court is unable to deal with us now, so the only one who can threaten us is the tribe on the grassland. If the Chahar tribe wants to move westward, our tiger flag will become a thorn in his eyes." Liu Heng smiled.

The tiger-character flag conquered the Tumote tribe and occupied the land of the Tumote tribe, which was equivalent to cutting off the route of the Chahar tribe's migration to the west and Lin Dankhan's ambition to unify Mongolia.

Without the Tumote tribe, even if Lin Danhan conquered other tribes on the grassland, he still could not be considered as unified Mongolia.

Li Shuheng said: "The Chahar tribe suffered two losses in the hands of our tiger flag. As long as the Ming Dynasty court does not take action against us, I think the Chahar tribe will not fight us for a while."

The news that the Chahar tribe failed to attack the Tiger Flag Convoy was already sent to Qingcheng first.

"The court will sooner or later attack us. Now that we have not taken action, we are worried that we are not strong enough. When we accumulate enough strength, it will be time to attack us." Liu Heng chuckled, "It's good that way, let us leave time to digest the Tumote tribe."

A Tumote tribe can give the former Ming court a great headache. He believed that as long as the tiger-character flag completely grasped the power of the Tumote tribe, the Ming court, which was already in internal and external troubles, would be even more difficult to shake the tiger-character flag.

Unless another person like Zhang Juzheng appears to prolong the life of the Ming Dynasty, what is waiting for the Ming Dynasty will slide into the abyss bit by bit.

"You must also be careful of the spies sent by Mingguo to the grassland. If you find one and find another, you must not give them the opportunity to destroy the trade route. You Foreign Intelligence Bureau must keep a close eye on you." Liu Heng turned to Huang Hong.

The Tiger Banner family was far from meeting the needs of various grassland ministries. Liberating the Ming Dynasty merchants to Qingcheng to do business can not only bring a lot of benefits to the Tiger Banner, but also beware of certain restrictions on the Tiger Banner businessmen.

Merchants are pursuing profits. As long as the tiger flag can guarantee the profits of merchants on the grassland, no matter what the court wants to do to the tiger flag in the future, it will not stop the Ming Dynasty merchants from coming to Qingcheng continuously through the border areas.
