Blood from Daming

Chapter 597 Horses
Elder Wang said: "Don't worry, General Xue. The purpose of our Mingjiao is to show mercy to the world. Everyone in the world is brothers and sisters. How could the Mingjiao harm its members? It's General Xue's compassion that I admire."

Xue Yun just laughed without saying a word, Elder Wang stood up and said: "General Xue, I hope that the Xue family army will keep in touch with the Ming army, so as to prevent the Xue family army from being plotted by the court."

Xue Yun said with a chuckle: "That's fine, if you have anything to do, just contact the Deputy Commander's Mansion in Datong City."

Elder Wang said: "General Xue, this elder sees that your army has two horses, so why don't you just make a deal in Jiangzhou first?"

Xue Yun's face darkened and he said slowly: "It seems that Mingjiao has made a fortune in Jiangzhou."

Elder Wang laughed and said: "General Xue is joking, since breaking the city has gained some gains, but our Mingjiao only targets court officials and gentry and wealthy households, and does not offend ordinary people."

Xue Yun was silent for a while and said: "These horses are the treasures of the soldiers, but for the sake of the [-] carts collected by Elder Wang's charity, this general will make this deal with you, but I don't know that Elder Wang How many war horses do you need?"

Elder Wang didn't expect that he would make a casual test, Xue Yun was willing to trade war horses because of his old feelings, which made Elder Wang hesitate for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "General Xue, we will teach you to buy five hundred war horses, please quote a price." .”

Xue Yun said: "Okay, I will give you five hundred horses and a full set of equipment. This general is repaying the favor of Cangzhou in the past, but this general has a small request."

When Elder Wang heard that Xue Yunbai had sent five hundred war horses from the Mingjiao, he couldn't help but hear Xue Yun say that he had a small request, and Elder Wang's heart thumped. It is normal for Xue Yun to offer a condition for lunch, otherwise, I would wonder whether Xue Yun had some bad intentions in gifting the horse.

Elder Wang said anxiously: "General Xue, you can ask for any conditions, as long as our Mingjiao can do anything."

Xue Yun said: "Well, there are many gentry students from Pingyang Mansion and Jiangzhou who are pleading for orders for the people of Jiangzhou in the general's barracks. I believe that soon, there will be military orders from Shanxi. This general is out of right and wrong. Land, it is really difficult to take care of left and right, I hope you Mingjiao will leave Jiangzhou City earlier, so as to avoid misunderstandings at that time, it will not be beautiful."

Elder Wang heard from Xue Yun that it was only about Jiangzhou City. Mingjiao hastily occupied Jiangzhou City last night because it rescued the family members of the middle and high-ranking members of the Mingjiao, which advanced the military strength of Mingjiao. Next, Mingjiao members will face the pursuit of the Ming court. , It is inevitable to withdraw from Jiangzhou City, and it is definitely worthwhile to make a favor with General Xue Yun.

Elder Wang said: "General Xue, this time the final attack on Jiangzhou City is really helpless. I hope that I can cover it up a lot and report to Mingjiao that the refugees have rebelled and were defeated by Xue's army. As for the purchase of five hundred horses Silver, Mingjiao is going to retreat on the battlefield and leave it to the general."

Xue Yun said: "Okay, we will do as Elder Wang wants, but the money to buy the horses is unnecessary."

Seeing Xue Yun's support for not buying money for horses, Elder Wang had an idea and said, "General Xue, we have left you a batch of gold and silver treasures, which should be used as a deposit for the next purchase of horse supplies."

Seeing what Elder Wang said, Xue Yun stopped declining. Xue Yun thought for a while and called Yang Zhenlei into the tent. Xue Yun asked, "Brother Yang, how many soldiers and horses did you bring over this time?"

Yang Zhenlei was a bit puzzled, but since it was the young master who asked the question, Yang Zhenlei immediately reported it: "Master, this time I brought three hundred soldiers and five hundred cavalry, and the horses are all in even numbers, about one thousand About six or seven hundred horses."

Xue Yun said: "Brother Yang, gather [-] war horses among your subordinates, and discuss with Elder Wang how to deliver."

Yang Zhenlei didn't understand why the young master did this, but Yang Zhenlei had been working as a diving guard for three years, and also did dirty work in Xue's mansion. Going to carry out the task that Xue Yun gave.

So Xue Yun and Elder Wang continued to discuss how to deliver the [-] war horses, and Mingjiao gave up Jiangzhou City to Xue's army, left gold, silver and jewels to Xue's army, etc. After the two discussed, Elder Wang said goodbye to Xue Yun. Not long after Elder Wang left the camp of the Xue family army, Yang Zhenlei led eight hundred soldiers and horses to follow Elder Wang and the five hundred Mingjiao disciples according to Xue Yun's orders.

It was a long time after lunch that Xue Yun met the gentry of Pingyang Mansion, because there were already 50 to [-] people who came to the Xue family army barracks to rescue soldiers, and there were more than [-] people with status. Six gentry students with certain identities entered the Chinese army tent.

It's just that Xue Yun changed clothes and stood on one side of the tent, and Wang Erwa was sitting on the coach's seat, but Wang Erwa saw the young master sitting on the chair feeling uncomfortable, and Yan Laoyao looked at the joke It was only after Xue Yun pressed her repeatedly that Wang Erwa managed to sit firmly in the chair.

Those who entered the tent were gentry students from the Pingyang Prefecture, three of whom belonged to the Jiangzhou family, one retired official, two Juren, two scholars, and one was the father of the current household department. In the Ming Dynasty, after the six people met Wang Erwa and saluted, they began to urge Wang Erwa to send troops to rescue Jiangzhou City.

The retired official of the imperial court said: "May I ask what the position of this general is? He belongs to the army of Nafu, Shanxi."

Wang Erwa temporarily came up to act as a puppet, and didn't even get her lines right. Then she remembered that she was still a boss, and she couldn't speak for a while. Yan Laoyao came out to help, and Yan Laoyao said: "Old guy! , what are you shouting, what do you do."

The words of the youngest Yan made the retired official very angry. He used to be the official of the imperial court, so why did he become an old fellow in front of these warriors? He spoke softly and patiently with a low stature.

"The old man was a doctor in the official department of the capital. May I ask whether you belong to the frontier army or the guard army. I hope that the general who leads the team can send troops to Jiangzhou City to relieve the people's downfall and save the gentry and people in the city. I will definitely recommend you to the gentry in Pingyang Prefecture General, I believe the imperial court will not be stingy with rewards."

The youngest Yan said: "It turned out to be an official who didn't care about his affairs. Let me tell you, the one seated here is our General Wang, a frontier soldier belonging to Datong Town."

The retired official is the leader of the six, and he is quite familiar with Shanxi's civil affairs and military affairs. Once he heard that he was a Datong frontier soldier, he knew it was a bad dish. The Datong Army is a different kind in Shanxi. To put it bluntly, the Datong Army is arrogant and domineering, but at worst it is a feudal town, and it may be impossible to ask the Datong Army to help recover Jiangzhou City.

However, retired officials are not willing to give up easily, so they continued to find out the bottom line of the Datong Army, trying to find an opportunity to persuade the Datong Army to send troops to Jiangzhou City: "This general, who is your superior officer?"

Wang Erwa really had to speak up: "We are under General Xue Yun of Datong Mansion. We just passed by Pingyang Mansion on military affairs. Now we are in a hurry to go back to Datong City. I am afraid that the old man will not be able to help you at the end of his request."

When the retired officials heard that they were Xue Yun's subordinates, their heads suddenly grew bigger. Xue Yun has always been at odds with the civil and military officials in Shanxi. To put it seriously, he was also at odds with most of the court officials. It is said that this is considered a military general in the Ming Dynasty. It's normal, but Xue Yun is not a lord who is willing to suffer. Whoever troubles him, he will bite back. In this way, Xue Yun has become the public enemy of civil servants all over the world.

Having said that, the officials all over the world still admire Xue Yun very much. This general is especially capable of fighting. In recent years, the state capitals in the south of Datong have not worried about the invasion of Mongolian cavalry at all. These are all thanks to Xue Yun, especially fighting the Eastern Barbarians. Hehe, it's a pity that he offended civil officials who looked down on military generals. If the scope was narrowed down, it would be mainly officials from the Southern Donglin Party who formed a party.

Xue Yun has been ill in bed for more than a year. As for whether it is true or not, it is a matter of opinion. Anyway, the Xue family army is basically not a bird of the imperial court. They live a happy life in Datong City, eating meat and drinking in large bowls. The orders of the imperial court and Shanxi cannot enter Datong. In the same city, the Xue family army didn't care about the Donglu in Liaodong. To put it bluntly, it was a feudal town that had not rebelled.

The officials all over the world had no choice but to give high praise: "Oh, it turns out that it is General Xue Yun, the famous anti-golden hero of my Ming Dynasty. All the Xue family soldiers are heroes who are eager to serve the country with loyalty and loyalty. The gentry and people of Jiangzhou look forward to the Xue family army. Jinzhou City will be saved now."

Xue Yun listened to the embarrassing remarks of the retired officials, and felt that if he didn't go to Jiangzhou City, he would be sorry for the people of Daming, but Wang Erwa's answer was superb: "Old man, don't give this general ecstasy soup, what's the rush?" Serve the country with righteousness, loyalty, and death in war, don’t think that this general will be fooled by your sweet words.”

The retired official was overwhelmed when he heard it. This general is awake. It seems that the ecstasy soup is not effective, but the retired official is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has an idea in the blink of an eye: "General Wang, I don't know that your Xue family army needs Jiangzhou area How much food and salaries will be raised."
