Chapter 656 The Unforeseen Future

When Dong Yiyuan led his troops to attack a large Beilu stronghold, he rushed into a large tent and captured a group of leaders of Beilu heads in extraordinary clothes. After taking back Shahukou, Dong Yiyuan interrogated these people. Dong Yiyuan was surprised to learn that the northern captives were about to go south to Datong for the winter on a large scale.

It turned out that when Lalik made the decision before going south, he was worried that he would not have enough troops to deter and defeat the Ming army, so he sent out grassland hero posts all over the tribes he could contact, and invited them to go south together. Overwinter on the territory of the Han people.

The first to arrive were four tribes. Ralik and them joined forces to invade Datong with [-] troops. After defeating the border guards of Ming Datong, they got a lot of food, and their ambitions further expanded. into Shanxi.

After Lalik entered Shanxi, those tribes who got the news late wrote letters, saying that they would also move south with them. As for whether they will go south to the territory of the Han people, we will talk about it later.

On the eve of the defeat of Lalik, the seven tribes who were faster got a big victory in the military operation of Lalik. There was no news that the Datong Great Wall had no defense, and they gathered their tribes ecstatically to prepare to go south.

According to the results of the interrogation, Dong Yiyuan judged that a large number of northern captives who did not know the current situation were on their way to the south. As for whether they would continue to go south after learning the news that Ming had successfully counterattacked.

But Dong Yiyuan advised Xiao Ruxun to prepare and ask for help, and asked Xiao Ruxun to send people to help prevent and kill Hukou, because he judged that if the northern captives wanted to forcefully go south, killing Hukou would be the first choice.

It was nightfall when Xiao Ruxun learned the news, and immediately called the generals for a military meeting.

"His grandma's! These northern captives really dare to use our territory as their shelter from the cold?"

Li Rusong was immediately blown away. Lien Rusong, who had won the first consecutive victory in Lien Chan's link, was full of ambition, and he seemed to ignore all the northern captives: "Governor, Li Rusong invited [-] cavalry, and it is determined that the governor will defeat the northern captives on the grassland. Above! Make these northern captives dare not go south again in this lifetime!"

A group of Liaodong generals challenged together: "The last general please fight!"

Calling someone else would probably be a headache, because the strength of Liaodong generals is also very famous in the Ming military circle, and Xiao Ruxun has the confidence to control them, so he shook his head decisively.

"Currently our troops in Datong and other towns are still scattered and have not assembled yet. The number of northern captives is unknown. If it exceeds 20, even [-] cavalry will be very dangerous. Although we have killed hundreds of thousands of northern captives , but there are only more than a hundred thousand soldiers, and the northern captives are quite powerful, so we must not underestimate them at any time."

Li Rusong paused, then clasped his fists and asked, "Then, how does the governor plan to deal with the enemy?"

"The governor plans to recruit another [-] cavalry and [-] infantry from Shanxi to go north to help in the battle. We will leave a part of the army in Yanghekou to repair and garrison. The main force will follow me to kill Hukou. I have a hunch that if the northern captives want to Going south on a large scale, the goal must be to kill Hukou, and by then, there will be no [-] soldiers, and I have no confidence in my heart."

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

Even Xiao Ruxun needs a hundred thousand soldiers to be confident, so how many captives will come?
Everyone was excited and uneasy.

"That's good. Originally, I was worried that the imperial court would use various reasons to not support my Northern Expedition. Now that the northern captives have gathered more than a dozen tribes to march southward, I don't know how many people there are. If the population is too large, the imperial court will not allow it." If I take advantage of the Northern Expedition, they will have nothing to do."

Xiao Ruxun suddenly smiled: "Keep in mind, generals, there will be no military discipline and military laws after leaving the Great Wall, but the military regulations still exist. Except for unlimited burning, killing and looting, the governor's military orders must be obeyed. All the gains belong to you personally, but if you want to let the governor know that there is a vicious fight, you will definitely kill him!"

Xiao Ruxun put away his smile and looked at the generals seriously. The breathing of the generals, especially those of the Liaodong Department, suddenly became short of breath.

They feel that a great good thing is slowly coming to them.

"promise!"

All the generals lead together.

"We've been fighting for days and days. Everyone has worked hard. Tomorrow, we will take a day off and let the brothers eat something good. Let them rest and recover their strength. In the morning of the next day, the whole army will set off for Shahukou."

"promise!"

The generals once again took orders in unison.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, turned around and walked back to his seat to prepare some things after the military order arrangement, sat down and saw that all the generals in front of him had not left, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? What else is there?"

The expressions of all the generals were not quite right, you looked at me and I looked at you, hesitated for a while, but it was Li Rusong who had a thick skin, stood up and spoke.

"Governor, we all want to ask, can those female prisoners of war in the North follow the previous rules, that...that..."

Li Rusong's tone became light and his expression became a little lewd, Xiao Ruxun instantly understood what Li Rusong meant.

So he couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you all donkeys? Are you full of such things?"

When everyone saw Xiao Ruxun's smile, they knew that the matter was settled, and their hearts became more relaxed, and their speech was not so restrained.

"This old man licks blood from the edge of his knife on the battlefield, and he doesn't have much free time. Isn't that what you can think of?"

"The governor's military law is strict. We dare not mess around. We managed to catch the women from the North. We couldn't walk when we saw them. The stick below almost tore our crotch!"

"I've been in the army for three years, sows are competing against Diaochan, we are all hob meat, what other hobbies do we have?"

"Hahahahaha!"

All the generals in the army tent laughed together.

Naturally, Xiao Ruxun would not stop the army from releasing their normal desires.

"Okay, don't talk to me anymore, the old rules, go out by yourself according to the head, no scrambling, no fighting, let alone killing those women, and, before doing things, ask the brothers to wash themselves clean, A dozen strong men are divided into a woman, don’t you think it’s dirty? If you mess up, be careful! By then, you didn’t die on the battlefield but died of such a dirty disease, don’t you hate it?”

The generals nodded again and again, expressing their understanding. Xiao Ruxun was helpless for a while, waved his hand, and let them go. A group of people cheered and rushed out of the camp. Xiao Ruxun shook his head helplessly, sat on his seat and began to write military orders , After writing for a while, I heard a noise outside, and there was a woman's shouting vaguely.
