Blood from Daming

Chapter 358 Fighting the Fire
When Xue Polu was rushing to the supply camp, the officer Zuo Mingqian sent to report the news arrived, and Zhang Sanzhu, Yu Dahui and others arrived almost at the same time. What made Xue Polu very upset was that Zhang Sanzhu's armor and helmet were obviously not One set, I don't know how flustered Zhang Sanzhu was when the army shouted "walking water" just now.

The officer who reported the letter said to Xue Polu: "General, according to the order of Zuo Qian, I am here to report that the luggage camp was set ablaze by unknown people beside the cart. Guilty."

Xue Polu asked, "How are the soldiers and supplies going?"

The officer who reported the letter replied: "At present, the bodies of two soldiers have been found. The supplies were poured with tung oil by the arsonist, and it was difficult to extinguish them for a while. Fortunately, the soldiers on night watch found them quickly and did not cause any loss of gunpowder."

Xue Polu walked towards the supply camp and asked Zhang Sanzhu, "There is nothing wrong with your camp."

Zhang Sanzhu replied: "No situation was found."

Xue Polu said: "Three pillars, Mr. Yu Qian will go to the supply camp for this general."

Yu Anxing, the governor of Shanhaiguan, also walked up to Xue Polu, and Yu Anxing said: "General Xue, Ben Fu will go with you too."

Xue Polu looked at Yu Anxing and said, "Okay, Mr. Yu, pay attention to safety on the road."

So Xue Polu took the governor Yu An, Zhang Sanzhu, Yu Dahui and others to the supply camp. When Xue Polu arrived at the supply camp, the fire in the supply camp had been brought under control, but the supplies that had been doused with tung oil were in short supply. Difficult to put out, many officers and soldiers are shoveling soil to put out the fire.

When Zuo Ming got the news that Xue Polu was coming, he hurried to Xue Polu. Seeing Zuo Ming's colorful face in the firelight, Xue Polu softened his tone when he was about to get angry and said, "The arsonist has been caught!" ."

Zuo Ming replied: "Those people are running too fast, the general is sending people to hunt them down."

Xue Polu saw that at least three supplies were burning, and the soldiers fighting the fire were fainted by the thick smoke, and were carried out of the fire by his colleagues. Xue Polu felt distressed and angry at the same time.

Xue Polu yelled at Zuo Ming: "Boy, the smoke is poisonous, let the soldiers get out of the limelight, and get some wet cloth to cover their noses, so that the soldiers will be better, and the supplies that can't be saved will be ignored."

Seeing that Xue Polu got angry, Zuo Ming agreed to run away in horror. Xue Polu said to the soldiers around him: "You all know some ways to put out fires, go and guide them."

Most of Xue Polu's personal soldiers went to assist Zuo Ming's supply camp to fight the fire, Zhang Sanzhu and Yu Qianzong also sent their personal soldiers to help, but Yu Anxing was doing nothing on the side, but Yu Anxing's expression was Especially anxious.

Yu Anxing said: "General Xue, the fire in the supply camp will not have a big impact on the team's itinerary."

Xue Polu said: "Master Yu, the whole situation is still unclear, but our army's actions should have been completely disrupted by the enemy."

Yu Anxing said: "The enemy, General Xue, do you mean that Jianlu did it?"

Xue Polu said, "My lord Yu, on the contrary, I believe that the traitors in Liaodong did it."

Yu Anxing felt a little sad, because Yu Anxing very much suspected that the Liaodong Army secretly attacked Xue Polu's supply camp in order to vent their anger. In addition to the conflict with the Xue family army, it also brought a very terrible variable to the Ming army's expedition to North Korea's Uiju Prefecture.

Now Yu Anxing can only sigh beside Xue Polu, and Yu Anxing seems to have spent a long time in just a quarter of an hour, finally looking forward to the return of Mr. Xing knew that no matter how much Xue Polu's troops suffered tonight, there was finally a result.

Zuo Ming said to Xue Polu: "General, the fire has been extinguished, it is better to use the general's method."

Xue Polu scolded: "Stinky boy, stop flattering me."

Zuo Ming said, "Second Uncle, it's true, hehe."

Xue Polu scolded with a smile: "It's just you who is talkative, the loss of supplies is not that big."

Zuo Ming said: "Second Uncle, at least fifty or sixty carts of supplies and food were lost, and some large carts and flat vans were also damaged to varying degrees. In addition, dozens of people were poisoned and unconscious."

Xue Polu asked, "Have the soldiers who went after the arsonist returned?"

Zuo Ming replied in a much softer voice, "Not yet."

Xue Polu pulled Zuo Ming's crumpled clothes and said: "Little Mingzi, you go back and ask the soldiers to fan the unconscious people more, so that they will wake up faster, and then take care of their daily food and drink. They have a good rest, and they are optimistic about the important supplies such as gunpowder, so that no more accidents will happen."

Zuo Ming said: "Second uncle, my nephew understands."

Zuo Ming quickly disappeared again, and Xue Polu said to Yu Anxing: "My lord, let's go back to the Chinese army."

Yu Anxing said: "General Xue, let's take care of the casualties and the officers and soldiers fighting the fire."

Xue Polu secretly thought that Mr. Yu couldn't trust him. He wanted to check it out for himself. Xue Polu knew that this was a real stealing camp. I'm not afraid of what you think of Yu Anxing. Anyway, it's true and can't be fake. No, just do whatever you like Yu An.

Xue Polu asked: "Master Yu, do you need a humble official to accompany you?"

Yu Anxing said: "General Xue will go and get busy first, and Ben Fu will go back to the Central Army after looking around."

Xue Polu said: "That's fine, my lord stays here slowly, there are important things to deal with when I go back to the Chinese army."

After Xue Polu broke up with Yu Anxing, he took Zhang Sanzhu and Yu Dahui back to the Central Army. Xue Polu suddenly remembered that he didn't see Yan Lao Yao tonight, so he asked the soldiers beside him: "Is Yan Lao Yao tonight?" Watch the night, why didn't you see anyone else?"

Xue Polu's personal soldiers immediately went to ask Yan Lao Yao's whereabouts. When Xue Polu returned to his tent, the sky had already started to turn white. Xue Polu called Zhang Sanzhu and Yu Dahui to sit in the tent and wait for news.

After a while, Xue Polu's soldiers came to report: "General, according to reports from the soldiers guarding the gate, Captain Yan went out with General Lu."

Xue Polu asked, "Is there any news about General Lu?"

The soldiers replied: "No, but the soldiers guarding the gate did not hear any fighting."

Xue Polu told his soldiers to retreat, just at that moment Wang Ping and Tao Yaofu entered the tent, Xue Polu greeted him: "You have worked hard, come, come, sit down and rest quickly."

Wang Ping said: "General Qi, my subordinates and Tao Yaofu feel that this time someone stole the camp and set fire to it, it should have something to do with the Liaodong Army in Zhonghousuo City, and the two subordinates asked the general to send troops to Zhonghousuo City to set up troops to question the crime. "

Xue Polu said: "Sit down quickly. The person who caused the fire has not been caught yet. We can't make random guesses like this and wrong the innocent people."

Wang Ping and Tao Yaofu were still talking there, and Xue Polu's own soldiers entered the account and reported: "General Qi, General Lu has news to report, General Lu led the army to kill the two arsonists and captured three. People, General Lu is already on his way back."

Xue Polu was overjoyed after hearing this and asked: "This Lu Yaojin is indeed a good person, and he has made great achievements in going out to relax. Do you know who did it?"

The soldier replied: "General, there is no mention of this matter in the news sent back."
