I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 606 Escape to North Korea
"Lord Belle."

Zhang Anning walked into Yue Tuo's study and bowed to Yue Tuan to greet him.Yue Tuo, on the other hand, was sitting at the desk, with his head in one hand and his eyes closed, meditating. The exhaustion on his face was clearly visible after days of hard work.When he saw Zhang Anning coming, he opened his eyes and waved his hands:

"Sit down. I asked you to prepare food and grass before. Now that the war is coming, how long can the food and grass in the city last?"

"Master Beile, there are still 20 stones of food and grass in the city, which can last for more than a month."

Yue Tuo shook his head secretly when he heard this, because the nobles of the Eight Banners had previously moved their families from Sarhudu to Hetuala.As a result, the number of people in Hetuala is now far greater than before, with a total of 6 to [-] people.

Moreover, most of these people are old, weak, women and children, and there are very few who can fight.This was nothing in the past, but now at the critical point of the war, these people have become a burden and are of no use to him at all.

Not to mention that these people are all members of the noble family, and it is very troublesome to manage them. If they don't cause trouble for him, they will burn high incense.Not to mention that if this continues for more than a month, the city's food and grass will be exhausted. By then, I'm afraid there will really be no way to save the day.

"Ever since the news of Sarhu came, I have people watching Erdaoguan day and night. The Ming army has not moved, so we have a moment of respite. When the Ming army finishes resting and attacks Hetuala, we are afraid that It’s unstoppable.”

Listening to Yue Tuo's words, Zhang Anning suddenly felt sad in his heart. He had followed Yue Tuo for so long, so he could naturally understand how he felt now. This feeling of having life and death in someone's hands was really uncomfortable.

He always kept the instructions Zhang Shun gave him in mind, so after thinking for a while, he stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Master Beile, the current situation is actually not that difficult. Have you forgotten that Li Erzhan and Guanghai Jun's scholars were sent by Khan before? Khan was far-sighted and asked them to come to Hetuala to contact the old North Korean ministry. No. Is it just to find a way out? I think now is the time to use it."

Yue Tuo thought that Zhang Anning would come up with some good strategies, but now he shook his head when he heard Zhang Anning's suggestion to go.

After the defeat of Sarhu, he immediately thought of this escape route, and seriously thought about and discussed the matter.But after he understood the situation in detail, he just shook his head and felt that it was not feasible.

Although Li Erzhan did have old troops in North Korea, he was willing to cooperate with them internally and externally.But the Ming army was not a fool. As early as last year, it sent Mangui, Cao Wenzhao and others to enter North Korea.This year, Liao Zuo soldiers and horses were transferred to North Korea to assist in defense. Now there are more than 3 soldiers and horses on the Yalu River alone.

And now in June and July, the Yalu River is turbulent. If so many of them want to cross the Yalu River, there is no way they can escape the eyes of the Ming army. Once they are surrounded, all of them will scream that the sky is not responding and the earth is not working. Become a credit to the Ming army.

"Don't talk about this matter. Let's not talk about the river problem. Let's just say that the Ming army defenders by the river are on guard against us. If we go there, it will be a dead end. The only way I can think of now is to see if we can ask for surrender. .”

Upon hearing that Yue Tuan had surrendered, Zhang Anning secretly thought something bad and quickly waved her hands and said:

"No, Lord Baylor. The Ming army has made it clear that they want to destroy me, Dajin. The death of Dajin is still vivid in my mind. You must not make a mistake."

Yue Tuo also fell silent after hearing this. Zhang Anning was right.He really didn't expect that the Ming army would kill prisoners. This was a clear intention to drive them all out.

Seeing Yue Tuo's hesitation, Zhang Anning looked around, knelt down to Yue Tuo and said:
"Master Beile, I risked my life to make this suggestion. Now it's a dead end in Hetuala. Everyone is just waiting to die. Go deep into the mountains and forests in the north and drink blood. It's impossible to survive. But retreating to North Korea is a way."

When Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately became impatient, waved his hands and said:

"Didn't I tell you how to go? Do you think the Ming army is blind? The Ming army will know immediately if tens of thousands of people move, let alone cross the Yalu River. The Ming army only needs to wait and wait by the river." "But, what if we only take a few thousand people away."

As soon as these words came out, Yue Tuo was stunned, and he immediately understood what he meant. He immediately picked up the inkstone on the desk and threw it on the ground. Then he looked at Zhang Anning fiercely and said:
"You asked me to give up the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city and go to North Korea with my cronies to survive. Who do you really think I am? You must not say more like this, otherwise you will die without knowing."

Seeing Yue Tuo being so angry, Zhang Anning not only did not panic, but kowtowed again:

"Master Beile, the Han people have a saying, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. Although there are only 6 or 6 people in the city, most of them are old, weak, women and children, and they are just a burden to you. Besides, you also know that there is not enough food and grass in the city. , even if the Ming army does not attack the city, these [-] or [-] people will be out of food and grass for a month, and the Saarhu will be destroyed by then.

Therefore, if we at Daikin want to survive, we must travel lightly and get rid of these burdens.It is impossible for every part of the Yalu River to be guarded by the Ming army for hundreds of miles. It is easy for you Beile, Beizi and the elite troops with red flags to cross the river. The Ming army is afraid that they will not be able to pursue or intercept them.

When we arrived in North Korea and met Li Erzhan, North Korea was so big that the sky was so high that birds could fly, and the sea was so wide that fish could leap.At least it's much better than dying here. "

What Zhang Anning said is indeed reasonable, it is a conspiracy, and it is the best choice at the moment.

Yue Tuo is naturally aware of the current situation. Zhang Anning is right. If he wants to survive, the best way is to get rid of these burdens in the city.

Although the Ming army stationed troops in North Korea, it was still difficult to interfere in North Korea's affairs.Therefore, as long as he can lead elite troops to North Korea and restore the country for Lord Gwanghae, he can definitely survive temporarily.

Thinking of this, he stopped angrily yelling at Zhang Anning and instead started thinking calmly.Zhang Anning didn't reply when he saw this, and waited patiently.

After a while, Yue Tuo slowly stood up and said solemnly to Zhang Anning:

"Have you ever told anyone about this?"

"Don't worry, Lord Beile, I haven't told anyone about this."

"That's good. This matter is very important. I still need to think about it. Please step back first."

Zhang Anning was overjoyed when he heard this, immediately nodded in agreement, and then slowly retreated.

He also saw the hesitation in Yue Tuo's heart, thinking that time was running out now, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make a decision alone.

So after he exited, he immediately left the garrison yamen, found several Ezhens with red flags, explained the situation to them, and together they persuaded Yue Tuo to make a decision as soon as possible.

The city of Hetuala is turbulent, and thousands of miles away in the Horqin grassland, news of the Jianlu's defeat has not yet reached, but a massacre within Horqin is taking place.
