Blood from Daming

Chapter 373 Borrowing Food
After hearing Yu Anxing's words, Xue Polu couldn't bear it anymore and said to the Liaodong Army: "Master Yu, should our Ming army save Yizhou Prefecture in North Korea or attack Yizhou Prefecture in Western Liaoning."

Yu Anxing said with some embarrassment: "General Xue, what do you mean by that?"

Xue Polu said: "Master Yu, since Master Jinglue has been chasing after dark to rescue North Korea's Yizhou, why did the army shrink back in Jinzhou City? Isn't this putting our Xue family army in a position of being alone?"

Yu Anxing said: "General Xue, there are 7000 Ming soldiers in Youtun, and there are [-] cavalry led by Zhao to support them. There should be no problem. I believe that Master Jinglue will send troops to Yizhou in the next few days. At that time With the army gathered, everything is no longer a problem."

Xue Polu said: "Master Yu, when will the supplies and food for our Xue family army be delivered from Youtun?"

Yu Anxing said embarrassingly: "The right garrison general has not received the letter from the Jinglue Mansion. When the governor reports General Xue's itinerary to the Jinglue Mansion, the Youtun garrison will send military supplies and food soon."

Xue Polu said: "Master Yu, Yuan Chonghuan didn't wait until our army left Youtun, and didn't send all kinds of supplies and grass needed by Xue's army."

Yu Anxing said: "No, definitely not. According to the usual practice, we will be supplied with food and grass after three days in Youtun, which is also in line with the imperial court's rules."

Seeing that Yu Anxing said what he said, Xue Polu couldn't turn to Yu Anxing's expenses anymore. Xue Polu said goodbye to Yu Anxing to inspect his camp, and Yu Anxing hurried back to himself. He arranged for his men to set up camp next to the Xue family army.

Xue Polu set up camp at a place fifteen miles away from Liyoutun, and it was only the third day after he settled down. The Jinglue Mansion gave Xue Polu the order to stand still, but to move the camp privately and pay the Xue family's army food and grass. He didn't mention a word, and Xue Polu spent his days leisurely and leisurely.

But someone couldn't sit still, and this person was Yu Anxing, the governor of Shanhaiguan. In the past two days, Yu Anxing was so worried that his hair was going gray. The reason was that Yu Anxing's team didn't bring much food and grass. For the number of days in the village, I only brought three more days of food and grass according to the number of days. It is nothing more than the belief that in Youtun, a place where grain is stored, I will not worry about food and grass at all.

Unexpectedly, I was delayed for a day in Zhonghousuo City. After arriving in Youtun, I happened to meet Zhou Shoulian, the guard of Youtun, who died and his brother-in-law asked for an official letter from his superiors to send food. Hey, I went to Youtun the day before yesterday and met General Zhou Shoulian, but yesterday I went to Youtun and sat on the bench for a long time without seeing Zhou Shoulian. I went to Youtun early this morning, and Yu Anxing didn’t even get into Tuenmen in Youtun. go.

But Yu Anxing's team is almost out of food. What makes Yu Anxing most anxious is that the team's fodder was used up yesterday, and now the soldiers have to lead the horses to gnaw the weeds in the wasteland. You know, quite a few horses started to loose stools today. If this continues, there will be more and more sick horses, and good horses will also lose weight because they don’t have food. When it’s time to fight, you may not be able to count on these war horses.

Yu Anxing came to Xue Polu's barracks for the purpose of borrowing food and grass, but Yu Anxing himself was urging food and grass for Xue's army, and now he had to borrow food and grass from Xue's army. Yu Anxing hated Yuan Chonghuan so much that even Mr. Sun Chengzong Yu Anxing complained in private how many times.

Yu Anxing came to the gate of Xue Polu's barracks. Captain Yan, the youngest member of Xue's army, welcomed him to the Chinese army. Yu Anxing was a little displeased with the rank of Yan Laoyao who received him today. Usually, the lowest level of Xue's army is that kid Zuo Ming. Come to greet him, anyway, Zuo Boy is barely considered the number three figure in the Xue family army, this Yan Laoyao did not know which rock was cracked out of it.

However, the youngest Yan did not take Yu Anxing to the central army, but took Mr. Yu through the camp and came to the Zuoying camp. Come to Zuoying."

Youngest Yan said: "My lord, General Xue is collecting information in General Lu's camp."

Yu Anxing asked suspiciously, "Could it be that your Xue family army captured the prisoners of Jianlu, so why didn't you report your military achievements to Ben Fu?"

Chu Yi, the staff behind Yu Anxing, couldn't listen anymore, and secretly tugged on Yu Anxing's sleeve, hoping that Yu Anxing would stop saying these nerd-like words.

Sure enough, Yan Laoyao pursed her lips and said: "Master Yu, you are a good person, but most of the officials in the court are bad people. The thousands of Tartar heads of our Xue family army can't be exchanged for a tael of silver. What's the use of a head, anyway, our Xue family army is enough to kill the Tartars for the people of Ming Dynasty."

After hearing what Yan Laoyao said, Yu Anxing couldn't answer for a long time, so he followed Yan Laoyao into the camp of the Xue Family Army's left camp. Just after entering the camp, the leader of the left camp, Lu Yao, Mr. Jin Qian, greeted him. An Xing immediately smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Lu Yaojin's body, and Yu An Xing couldn't help wrinkling his nose.

Alcoholism in the military camp is against the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, but now Yu Anxing has no military power in his hands, and he still owes the Xue family army a lot of favors and things, and he still came to ask for help. Yu Anxing couldn't speak hard words, so he had to pretend that he had nothing Know.

Yu Anxing asked: "Mr. Lu Qian, is the Xue family army in the camp?"

Lu Yaojin replied: "My lord, yes, but General Xue has already rested."

Yu Anxing said, "Why is General Xue sleeping in Zuoying today?"

Lu Yaojin said: "My lord, some wild boars are really disobedient. General Xue got angry and skinned a few wild boars alive. After drinking a lot of wine, he rested in the camp of the last general."

Yu Anxing wasn't sure whether the wild boar that Lu Yaojin said was a Tartar or a real wild boar, so he had to follow Lu Yaojin around a few tents, and immediately saw a lot of officers and soldiers standing on an open flat ground. In the center of the tree stood dozens of logs, each of which was said to have a person hanging from it. Yu Anxing didn't need to guess to know that the person hanging was a Tartar.

Lu Yaojin ushered Yu Anxing to the Commander's Terrace on Pingba, where Lu Yaojin dispatched troops every day, Lu Yaojin put Yu Anxing in the main position and said: "My lord, belong to Your Majesty has already sent someone to invite General Xue, General Xue will be here in a while."

No matter how upset Yu Anxing was, he just nodded and said, "It's okay, Ben Fu just had lunch, and I happen to be here to rest my mind."

In this way, Lu Yaojin and Yan Laoyao were waiting beside Governor Yu. At this time, Yu Anxing had time to take a look at the Tartars in front of the general's platform. In front were seven red and bloody human bodies, and there were seven pools of dark red blood on the sand under the seven bodies.

Yu Anxing felt that the food in his stomach was churning, but Yu Anxing still endured it, thinking that this Xue Polu is indeed a ruthless character, he skinned seven tartars alive, but I, someone Yu I've seen everything cut by knife, so I don't necessarily care about your failure to peel the skin.

On the contrary, Chu Yi, the staff member beside Yu Anxing, couldn't take it anymore, and had already run away to vomit. Yu Anxing secretly regretted bringing Chu Yi here, and made himself embarrassing and embarrassing with Chu Yi for no reason.

At this time, Xue Polu was supported by the soldiers. Yu Anxing watched Xue Polu staggered up and down on the platform. Your Excellency forgive me.

Yu Anxing forced a smile and said, "Polu, it's okay, Ben Fu also came here uninvited."

After Xue Polu finished speaking, he sat next to Yu Anxing, and Yu Anxing said to Xue Polu, "Polu, why didn't you come to Benfu to repay the credit for capturing the Tartar prisoners?"

Xue Polu said: "My lord, so what if you repay your merits, it's not just making wedding dresses for others."

Yu Anxing was speechless and didn't know what to say to comfort Xue Polu. Xue Polu asked, "Is Master Yu coming to the barracks for something important?"

Yu Anxing gritted his teeth and said: "Ben Fu wants to borrow some food and grass from General Xue, and when I get the food and grass, I will bring it to the General."

Xue Polu said: "At first I thought that only Xue's army had no food and grass, but I didn't expect Master Yu to suffer along with the humble officials. As much food and grass as the adults want, the humble officials will send people to the adults' barracks."

Yu Anxing said: "Thank you for that. Well, General Xue, where did you get these Tartar captives?"

Xue Polu said: "When I went hunting near the Sancha River yesterday, I smashed a litter of wild boar cubs. These are not dead. They were brought back by the humble staff to let the recruits practice their bravery."
