The outpost sent by Latuba to report the news quickly brought reinforcements, but beyond Latuba's imagination, in addition to the other half of the soldiers and horses led by Ben Zuo, there were also soldiers from the Eight Banners Central Guard Battalion in this group of reinforcements. One assistant leader, plus one assistant leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, all the soldiers and horses add up to four hundred zeros. www

If Latuba was just a little surprised at the moment, then the eyes of the assistant leaders and Xiaoqi school who came to help were naked envy.The fault is that Ratuba is Yuanzhi Jueluo wearing a purple belt, and his name is also on the genealogy jade plate. If it is too late, his credit will be lost. Maybe someone has come up to discuss it with an excuse.Of course, since there is no way to make a decision on La Tuba, who has a lower rank, these superiors can only look at the South Korean army trapped in the village with the eyes of people who have been hungry for three months and see rice. While secretly thinking about how to open the mouth to allocate a few heads, so that I can remember one or two futures when I go back.

Seeing that several Zuo leaders were thoughtful, La Tuba quietly asked his nominal chief E Tai, "Lord E, why did Lord Dutong send so many reinforcements this time?"

Although the Xiaoqi school is the deputy second of Zuo Ling, it is directly under the leadership of the general, so Etai is not as good as putting on the posture of the chief officer. In addition, La Tuba is also regarded as half of his subordinates. His credit can be shared by himself. Run Yi Er, the starting point is higher than those of his colleagues around him, so E Tai replied with a smile on his face: "Just say you don't know, there is news from the west that Haini from Jinpu and Anshan have also left the city for activities." , a few assistant leaders have suffered a great loss and lost a lot of people, so the Dutong Master is extra cautious."

"Hai Ni left Jiancheng?" Latuba was taken aback for a moment, but then he was ecstatic. "That doesn't happen to gather and annihilate in the wild."

Latuba and Etai are both Jilin soldiers and horses. Unlike the Banners Banners who have suffered from Zheng Jun's platooning guns, they thought that Zheng Jun, like the Eros soldiers, could only defend the city and fight, so their tone was a bit arrogant .

"It's not that simple." Although Etai thought exactly the same as Latuba in his heart, he had a higher status and knew more. "Hai Ni's army is a small team of [-] people. The distance out of the city is not far away. If there is any trouble, they will escape quickly. How can a foolish [-] people like the North Korean barbarians dare to approach Jiancheng Walled."

"That's true." Latuba nodded. "However, Lord Dutong is really true. It's not easy to send any soldiers. The flowery shelves sent from Beijing are useful for birds. I really plan to share the credit with them."

"Lao La, you are so majestic with a purple belt, it has a lot to do with your mouth." Because La Tuba has military achievements and is appointed to be promoted, E Tai expressed his closeness to him without any outsiders. "Say a few words less, so as not to know when to offend someone." E Tai quietly pointed to the commander of the guarding barracks. "Do you know what his identity is? Baobuqi is a man with all-hands and eyes, and he is not comparable to wild people like us outside the pass."

"Pull it down." Latuba pouted disdainfully. "Let's not talk about what happened to Haini in the south, it's the Western Expedition, Mr. E, we don't know, isn't it all up to us savages to win this battle?"

"Just know it, don't yell around, no one will think you are dumb." Etai looked at La Tuba dumbfounded, and said to himself that you have a purple belt, otherwise you would have never known it because of your stinky mouth. It's cool, but since you want to sell well to the other party, you can't say that, so E Tai changed his mind and changed the topic on purpose. "Reinforcements have also arrived, and you have also fought hard for a long time. In this way, first return to Yangzhou with the prisoners and heads to show the victory, and leave this place to us."

La Tuba's attention was indeed distracted, and he smiled: "I understand, I will not stay and compete with you for credit."

"Go away, dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths"

"Master Li, what do you think these Sauron savages are talking about?" Just as the Eight Banners stationed looked down on the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners, who were the emperor's imperial army, were also hostile to New Manchurians such as Sauron, Hezhe, Daur, and Xibo. The Northeast garrison composed of banner people is quite disdainful, thinking that they are barbaric, and even look down on the banner people of their own clan who serve as military attaches among them. In the eyes of these emperor's close ministers, the Han army flag composed of human beings is nothing more than a slave.

"It's nothing more than a private discussion on how to distribute military merit." Li Zhong, who was the leader of the Han army with a yellow banner, answered the words of the famous wrestler Tukebo who had the name of Batulu with a meaningless face. "However, we won't be able to take advantage of it. My lord, it's better to consider dealing with the enemy in front of me first, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."

Tukebo frowned, but Ye Changmengduo recalled the four words in his mind, and immediately had a different feeling, so he chuckled: "Master Li is right, come here, force them, don't let these North Korean barbarians take it easy got away"

The North Korean outpost troops in Yuandong, Libei were severely attacked by the Qing army, and the news of the heavy losses was soon transmitted back to Lizhou by a few North Korean officers and soldiers who escaped by chance.Suffering from the inability to collect food and fodder on the spot, and unable to organize the fleeing people to return to their hometowns, Wang Shanzhi, the envoy of Gyeonggi-do to observe and depose, Xu Zhen, the envoy of Lizhou Metropolitan Guard under Zhengsanpintang, and Jin Chanshan, a general of the right-wing new army who also served as the guard envoy, etc. The members of the first and second shifts suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Although it was approaching the new year, none of them could guarantee that the Qing army would not launch a large-scale attack.

As a last resort, the three of them sat together, but before discussing it, Xu Zhen was the first to complain: "The princes in the court are far away in Guangzhou, how do you know the predicament at the front line, and blindly order me to recover the lost ground? Now it's good, there are two hundred in the east. The two hundred soldiers on the west side were defeated one by one by the Qing captives, so what will they have to defend Li and Yuan by then."

"What Mr. Xu said is very true. Now that the people are displaced, food and grass cannot be raised." Wang Shanzhi echoed. "Soldiers cannot fight without food and grass, and have to be transported from the rear. However, the heavy snow has not yet melted, the roads are not smooth, and the transportation of grain and fodder is intermittent. It is not always possible to let the soldiers eat the wind and snow." Wang Shanzhi said angrily. "The big bosses in the court are not good at military affairs. Zheng Fan's army envoys clearly predicted this, but they didn't listen to them. Now they are in a dilemma, and they are not the ones who will stick to the dangerous city in the end."

"My lords, this is over." Jin Chanshan waved his hands. "The imperial court has the imperial court's ideas. Zheng Fan has a lot of peeps at North Korea, so how can he blindly listen to it." The old man in the North Korean army, and he had nothing to do with the Cui brothers, was able to get the military power of the right-wing general. Because of this, he naturally had to be consistent with the Gwangju court. "We're not in our position and we're not planning our own affairs. It's better not to talk about it, and let's discuss how to deal with it now."

"Discussion? Is there anything to discuss." Xu Zhen lost his temper. "Even if the Qing captives stopped using troops a few years ago, after the beginning of spring, their tens of thousands of troops will inevitably drive down. With our current soldiers, there is no way to stop the Qing army. Instead of withdrawing in a hurry, it is better to evacuate this dangerous place now. This may preserve the vitality of North Korea."

Xu Zhen's words sounded like he was thinking about his own life, but since Jin Chanshan was a veteran general, he naturally knew the soldiers. He had already felt the same way, but just as it was not his decision to march north, it was not up to him whether he could retreat south or not. The final decision: "I'm afraid the court will not agree."

"Then what should we do? We can only stay and wait to die!" Xu Zhen is the envoy of Lizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the so-called native guard. Even if others can leave, he can't leave. He has suffered a nervous breakdown for a long time because of this. Now the anger accumulated in his heart was provoked by Jin Chanshan's words, and it exploded immediately. "General Jin, there is a proverb in the Ming Dynasty: you will not accept the orders of the emperor abroad. At this time, look forward and look forward, and you will become the sinner of North Korea through the ages."

Although Xu Zhen has already said this very powerfully, another meaning of the senior veteran is that his skin has been honed enough, so Jin Chanshan just shook his head: "I understand the truth, but retreating and abandoning the soil without authorization, The court still needs to be convicted.”

"I have an idea." Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Wang Shanzhi hurriedly stepped forward to mediate. "The imperial court wants to show its orthodoxy, and the purpose of setting up government offices in various places cannot be changed, but it certainly doesn't want to lose the right-wing army to the Qing captives, so I think it can be done like this." Wang Shanzhi expressed his thoughts. "Zhongzhou is considered a hinterland now, and the Qing army may not come again when it goes south in the future, so the defenders can withdraw and return to Cheongju. The right-wing troops scattered in various places can also be gathered and returned to Cheongju for training. As for Wonju, it is also possible to stay only one Battalion garrison. Lizhou side," Wang Shanzhi looked at Xu Zhen's face. "Two battalions of soldiers are temporarily reserved to prevent the Qing army from attacking. Once there are police, Master Xu will abandon the city and retreat to Zhongqing Daojing."

Jin Chanshan's eyes lit up, then he lowered his head to think, and after a long time raised his head and said: "Since it is to monitor when the Qing army commits crimes south, then only one sentry should be left in Yuanzhou. As for Lizhou, the city wall is not as strong as Yuanzhou , not to mention the same monitoring, how about leaving only one battalion of soldiers, and another battalion around Ansan County, so as to prevent the Qing captives from going straight to Gongzhou regardless of Li and Yuan."

Xu Zhen thought for a while, without soldiers, he would not be able to defend the city. Naturally, the responsibility for abandoning the soil would be reduced by half, so he responded quickly: "Yes, I will handle it according to the wishes of the two adults."

However, Xu Zhen also saved his hand: "Lord Jin, there are many refugees gathering in Li and Yuan. If the officers and troops withdraw completely, it will be troublesome if there is a disturbance. Why don't you keep some military weapons, such as cannons and bird guns?" If it’s inconvenient, can you keep some bows, arrows, guns, and waist knives, so that I can choose some capable people from the refugees and take the bottom line.”

Jin Chanshan was a little hesitant, but considering that the first battalion had to serve as a security mission and perform the mission of suppressing troops, it was indeed insufficient, so he finally agreed to Xu Zhen's request: "Yes, but the number will not be too many."

"You don't need a lot, as long as you can equip a small team to protect the officer, that's enough."

"So that's how it is," Jin Chanshan suddenly realized, this was used to protect Xu Zhen and open the way, and of course he had to be satisfied with it. "No problem, how much is needed, Mr. Xu just ask, artillery is impossible, and you can also give two bird guns."
