Blood from Daming

Chapter 357 Fire
Lu Yaojin said: "Last night I went to bed early and woke up just now. Seeing that the night was fine, I wanted to go out for a walk. Well, youngest, you are on duty today."

Youngest Yan said: "Yes, General Lu is here to accompany you for a walk."

Yan Laoyao now commands hundreds of soldiers, but he used to be Lu Yaojin's subordinate. Although Lu Yaojin was still at the level of Chief Qian, he was the real No. [-] figure in the Xue family army in Liaodong. Yaojin didn't show any pride in front of him, and still respected Lu Yaojin as before.

Lu Yaojin nodded and walked towards the outside of the camp, Yan Laoyao followed behind Lu Yaojin with his men, Lu Yaojin turned around after walking for a while and asked Yan Laoyao: "Have you checked the entire perimeter of the barracks. "

The youngest Yan replied: "General Lu, I have checked all the bids, and found nothing wrong, and tonight is Shuanggang, and it has passed the third watch, so there should be nothing wrong."

When Lu Yaojin came to a hill, Lu Yaojin walked up the hill and found a clean place to sit down, Yan Lao Yao stood behind Lu Yaojin, Lu Yaojin said to Yan Lao Yao: "You also Come sit down."

Youngest Yan carefully sat down beside Lu Yaojin, and Lu Yaojin said, "Youngest, don't be so restrained."

After listening to Lu Yaojin's words, the youngest Yan was still reserved. Lu Yaojin asked, "Youngest, what's the matter with the brothers below?"

Yan Laoyao said: "General, the brothers below are very angry at the court's behavior of only wanting horses to run but not letting them eat grass. Most of the soldiers are unwilling to participate in this rescue operation of North Korea's Uiju Prefecture."

Lu Yaojin said: "Youngest, you are the young master's confidant and favorite general. How many direct descendants have you mastered when we entered North Korea this time?"

Youngest Yan said: "Don't worry, General Lu, most of the leaders under the bid come from Datong, and there is no problem with their loyalty to General Xue. If you move to North Korea, even if you rebel, there is no problem."

Lu Yaojin said: "Youngest, don't be careless, keep an eye on your subordinates."

At this time, two or three small birds flew out of the dark grassland in front of Lu Yaojin's left, and they all flew away in a panic. Big beasts appeared, Lu Yaojin looked at Yan Lao Yao who was at the side.

Youngest Yan understood what Lu Yaojin meant, and immediately stood up and said, "General Lu, please take someone over to have a look."

Lu Yaojin was about to talk to Yan Laoyao when he saw a red light flashing in the distance, and then he heard the sound of a bugle horn. Lu Yaojin knew it was broken, and the direction of the red light was the supply camp of Xue Jiajun. It seemed that the supply camp was It was set on fire, and the place where the frightened birds flew up just now should have been frightened when the arsonists fled.

Lu Yaojin said, "Youngest, go catch the arsonist."

Youngest Yan said hurriedly, "General, what should we do about the fire in the supply camp?"

Lu Yaojin said: "With the sound of the trumpets, all the officers and soldiers of the battalion stood up. We are no longer needed there. Now the priority is to catch the person who set the fire."

Lu Yaojin said as he walked to the foot of the hill, the soldiers immediately handed the reins of the horse to Lu Yaojin, Lu Yaojin looked at the ground in the distance, the road was still dark, it was really not suitable for riding a horse, Lu Yaojin did not go Instead of taking the reins, he ran straight to the north.

Lu Yaojin ran to the north, his soldiers and Yan Laoyao followed behind Lu Yaojin, and soon Yan Laoyao ran to Lu Yaojin's side, Yan Laoyao said: "General, we have so many If people run over, those who set fire to it will turn around and run away immediately when they see it.”

Lu Yaojin said, "What good idea do you have?"

Yan Lao Yao said: "General, should you send someone to go behind them, otherwise these local mice are really hard to catch."

Lu Yaojin took the time to glance at the supply camp. The fire on that side seemed to be bigger, but there was also a faint voice of people. Hearing this sound, the supply camp should have gathered a lot of people. I believe those who participated in the firefighting There must be a lot of officers and soldiers, but now Lu Yaojin's thoughts are all on catching those thieves who set fire.

Lu Yaojin said: "Youngest, you can go, pay attention to safety, you can shoot and kill any thieves who resist fiercely if necessary."

Yan Laoyao nodded, and after saying hello, he took more than 30 brothers under his command and went along the northwest direction to copy the back route of those arsonists. run ahead.

In the large tent of the Xue family army, Xue Polu and the governor of Shanhaiguan Yu Anxing talked about the rest of the day, and after sleeping for more than an hour, he was awakened by his own soldiers. The abnormal behavior of the soldiers made Xue Polu come out of his sleep After waking up, thinking that he had been attacked by the enemy, he immediately rushed to the wooden frame behind the pillow to grab his saber.

Only then did the soldiers know that their reaction was too big and misled the general's thinking, so he quickly said to the general: "General, the enemy attack has not been discovered yet, and the supply camp is flooded."

After hearing what the soldiers said, Xue Polu felt that he had overreacted, so he put down the waist knife in his hand, went to get the coat next to the marching store, and asked the soldiers, "How is the situation on the other side of the supply camp. "

The soldier replied: "General, I just discovered that the supply camp was on fire. I don't know if it was my own fire or someone set it on fire."

Xue Polu scolded: "You bastard, how could our army catch fire with its tight defenses? Go and tell the generals of the battalions to come and see this general."

The soldiers replied: "General, the three leaders, Wang Ping, Tao Yaofu, and Rao Guoying, are already out of the tent."

Xue Polu shouted angrily: "The ones outside, don't let me get in."

Wang Ping, Tao Yaofu, and Rao Guoying heard Xue Polu's scolding, and rushed into Xue Polu's Chinese army tent, and saw Xue Polu fully dressed and armored with the help of his own soldiers.

Xue Polu said: "Grandma, why are you still dawdling outside the big tent on such a big matter? If the Tartars attack the camp, everyone will be finished. What's new about the supply camp now?"

Rao Guoying said: "General, the specific situation of the supply camp has not been reported, but my subordinates judge that someone set the fire."

Xue Polu shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, Wang Ping and Tao Yaofu, you two immediately lead your troops to help Mr. Zuo Qian put out the fire, be careful to keep the gunpowder and ammunition, go quickly."

After Wang Ping and Tao Yaofu agreed, they quickly ran out of Xue Polu's tent of the Chinese army. Xue Polu asked, "Guoying, why didn't you see Lao Lu?"

Rao Guoying replied: "General, Mr. Lu Qian went outside the camp to relax."

Xue Polu said: "When is this old Lu still so elegant? Forget it, you don't have to wait for him. Guoying, you let the cavalry out and closely monitor all movements outside the camp to prevent anyone from stealing the camp. Pay special attention to it." Let’s see if we can catch those who set fire to the movement of Zhonghousuo City, let’s go.”

After Rao Guoying agreed, he also quickly ran out of Xue Polu's tent. Now that Xue Polu was fully clothed, Xue Polu went out of the Chinese army's tent, just in time to see the governor of Shanhaiguan, Yu Anxing, in a hurry walking towards his tent.

Yu Anxing shouted from afar, "General Xue, what happened?"

Xue Polu said: "Master Yu, the supply camp was set on fire by the enemy, and I am going to check it out."

Yu Anxing had already arrived not far from Xue Polu, and he was so startled that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard Xue Polu's words, he said in a jiffy, "Why is the enemy ambushing in Zhonghousuo City, the hinterland of the Liaodong Army? General Xue, can you determine who did it?"

Xue Polu said: "My lord Yu, I should have a good guess about the humble position, but I still have to go to the supply camp to verify the situation before I can be sure."
