Blood from Daming

Chapter 372
Governor of Shanhaiguan Yu Anxing came to the camp of Xue's army to prevent Xue Polu from leaving North Korea regardless of his personal safety.

Yu Anxing said: "Polu, even if there is something wrong with the court, it is still your motherland. You can't go to North Korea no matter what."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, if my Xue family army falls into the predicament of being alone, what will my lord do when I call you a low-ranking officer?"

Yu Anxing sighed and said: "Benfu will go out with you. As for whether to go to North Korea or not, I will make a decision, and I will not miss Polu and Xue's army."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, it is too dangerous to fight against Jianlu this time, my lord should think carefully about it."

Yu Anxing said, "Polu, I've made up my mind."

Lu Yaojin came to the tent and said to Xue Polu: "Second Uncle, I'll wait for you."

Xue Polu said: "Wait for Master Yu's team, let's go on the road together."

Yu Anxing said: "Ben Fu's subordinates should be in good order now, General Xue just sends troops."

Xue Polu said: "If you want gold, you can inform the team to go."

Xue Polu accompanied Yu Anxing out of the tent of the Chinese army, and Xue Polu's personal soldiers immediately began to evacuate the tent. In less than an inch of incense, Xue Polu's tent of the Chinese army disappeared without a trace. up.

Xue Polu and Yu Anxing's troops totaled more than 5000 people, advancing all the way to the northeast, and finally arrived at Youtun at the time of Shenshi, but after Yu Anxing went to Youtun to get in touch with the guard Zhou Shoulian, the guard general Zhou Shoulian refused. Instead of the request of the Xue family army to camp near Youtun, but based on the needs of the Ningjin front line defense plan, Xue Jiajun was ordered to garrison an abandoned village ten miles east of Youtun.

Yu Anxing hated Zhou Shoulian, the right guard general, and then asked Zhou Shoulian to supply grain and grass, but Zhou Shoulian, the right guard general, refused Yu Anxing's request to allocate grain and grass because he had not received the notice from Ning Qiandao.

In the end, Yu Anxing returned to his barracks empty-handed. Not to mention that Xue Polu's 4000-odd people need to provide supplies, even his 1000 men and horses need a large amount of food and grass. Yu Anxing is the most difficult Or how to explain to Xue Polu that a majestic governor can't get a grain of food.

Not to mention that Yu Anxing was worrying about food, but that Xue Polu received a letter from Ningqiandao Yuan Chonghuan from Youtun follower Zhou Shoulian, ordering Xue Polu to camp in the abandoned village according to the plan. Xue Polu first thought It was this order that could not be accepted, but out of respect for his superior, Xue Polu still took his generals to the abandoned village to inspect the terrain.

When Xue Polu came to the abandoned village, all he saw were broken walls and collapsed earth barriers. Xue Polu got off his horse and walked towards the empty village. He had just entered the gate of the village and did not walk a few steps. With a sound, Xue Polu looked down and saw that he had broken a white bone, but he couldn't tell whether it was a human bone or an animal bone.

Xue Polu continued to walk forward, and when he came to the corner of the village, he saw the soldiers of the Xue family army who went in to search earlier, and two people suddenly stood up and blocked a small alleyway. Two Xue Jiajun soldiers walked to the alley where they stood.

Xue Polu came to the two soldiers and asked, "Brothers, is there anything inconvenient to see in this alley?"

One of the soldiers at the entrance of the alley replied: "General, they are all unlucky things."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "We soldiers deal with death all day long, and we are afraid of some unlucky things. Let's go in and have a look."

So Xue Polu led Lu Yaojin and a large group of generals into the alley, and after walking a few steps, Xue Polu saw from the broken wall several piles of bones lying in the dam of a small courtyard, two of which were very large. Small, from the analysis of the skeleton, it should be the remains of two children.

Lu Yaojin at the side said: "Second Uncle, it seems that there is no rotten flesh in the bones, it should be some time."

Xue Polu nodded in agreement, then turned around and asked the general behind him, "Does any of you know the situation in this village?"

As a result, all the generals did not speak. Xue Polu shook his head and said that his army had come to a place where he was not familiar with life. Xue Polu had no choice but to continue walking to the depths of the alley, and found that almost every family had bones. Xue Polu didn't feel that his field of vision was a little tidier until he walked out of the alley and came to the east gate of Zhuangzi.

Lu Yaojin said: "Second Uncle, it seems that these dead common people were killed by Tartars in the village."

Xue Polu was a little angry and said: "Youtun is only ten miles away from here, and there are usually thousands of troops stationed there. Even if they can't rescue these Ming people, they should be taken into Youtun before the Tartars come."

Lu Yaojin said: "The Liaodong army fears the Tartars like a tiger, and they still care about the lives of these common people."

Xue Polu asked: "If you want gold, what do you think of stationing troops here?"

Lu Yaojin said: "Not good, mainly because it is too far away from Youtun, there is a problem with the supply of food and grass, and the cooperation between the troops is impossible."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "If you want gold, Mr. Yu will probably go to Youtun to fetch water in a bamboo basket. Any military supplies, food, grass and reinforcements will be a cake. It seems that if you want gold, there is still hope for the Liaodong Army."

Lu Yaojin blushed a little and said, "This subordinate just expressed a little hope to Mr. Yu."

Xue Polu said, "Zuo Ming, how about camping in this village."

Zuo Ming thought for a while and said: "Second Uncle, if you stick to it, this place is still okay, but our Xue family army is to rescue Uiju, North Korea, how can we be stationed in this desperate place."

Xue Polu said: "Yes, this village is a Jedi. On the surface, it seems to be very convenient for defense, but if Jianlu surrounds us, we only have two paths to the south and east to get out of the village, because the north and west The exit of the village has long been cut off by the original villagers, as long as Jianlu guards the two small roads to the south and east, our Xue family army will not be able to get out."

Qiao Guoliang, who came over at this time, said, "Second Uncle, all the wells in this Zhuangzi have been filled. I'm afraid they won't last for a few days without water."

Xue Polu said: "Yes, how can we defend without water, but when will our Xue family army need to defend? Xue's army's belief is to advance, advance, and keep advancing, to defeat and kill all the Jianlu who stand in the way of Xue's army, go, Go to the flat ground and set up a stronghold."

Xue Polu chose to camp on flat land farther from Youtun and closer to the sea. Not long after Xue Polu had just set up camp, Yu Anxing came to see Xue Polu. The reason why Yu Anxing came to see Xue Polu in a hurry This is because Yu Anxing knew that the location where Xue Polu camped was not stipulated by the Liaodong Army. To put it mildly, it is self-assessment. To put it more seriously, it is disobedience to military orders. At that time, the Liaodong Jinglue Mansion will be punished for not obeying the order. .

Seeing Xue Polu's head on the head, Yu Anxing asked, "General Xue, you moved the camp without permission. According to the regulations of the Ming Army, this is disobedience. The crime should be beheaded."

Xue Polu smiled and said, "Master Yu, Yuan Ningqian is not the general's superior, so he is grabbing power everywhere and is suspected of evading Lord Sun Chengzong, not to mention that the place where Yuan Ningqian stipulated to set up camp is a desperate place."

Yu Anxing was speechless after hearing Xue Polu's words, and also heard that the village was a desperate place, so Yu Anxing didn't dare to set up camp alone, so he had no choice but to plan to set up camp next to Xue Polu's camp. It can't be kept, and any military law is useless.

Yu Anxing said: "Xue Jiajun, I will report the situation here to Lord Jinglue as soon as possible."

Xue Polu asked: "Master Yu, what is the situation with the enemy and us near Youtun?"

Yu Anxing said: "Youtun is defended by Zhou Shoulian, a general with a title. To the west of Youtun is the former commander-in-chief Zhao, who led five thousand cavalry. On the Xiaolinghe line of Jinzhou, Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou's Ningjin elite gathered. As well as the general troops who arrived earlier at Mangui's troops, Ma Shilong, Wang Shiqin, You Shilu and the troops from the various forts led by Mr. Sun, only a small scouting cavalry team appeared on the Jianlu side."
