Blood from Daming

Chapter 367
Xue Polu's troops all withdrew from Zhonghousuo City before Shenshi, and camped with the follow-up troops five miles away from Zhonghousuo City, and gave Shanhaiguan governor Yu Anxing's men and horses mutual horns. Xue Polu knew that this was Lord Yu's kindness, and he was secretly grateful to Yu Anxing in his heart.

Niu San and Ma Tao of Zhonghousuo City lobbied more than 100 Hakka troops in the pass and threw them into the arms of Xue's army. Based on the fact that everyone is like this, how do you Zu Dashou and Wu Xiangai toss us to accompany you, and take over these Liaodong guest troops who have taken refuge.

Xue Polu did not go to welcome Lord Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong strategist, to Zhonghousuo City, but ordered his subordinates to strengthen the security of the barracks. Most of Sun Chengzong's master entered the Zhonghousuo City. It didn't happen, and apart from Yu Anxing sending Chu Yi over to greet him, there was no news from the Jinglue Mansion.

It wasn't until the sky that the soldiers came to report. A group of people opened the south gate of Zhonghousuo City, and came towards the camp of Xue's army with lanterns and torches. 500. According to the analysis of the number of torches, the total number of these people will not exceed [-]. Xue Polu understands that these people may have come to spread the word.

Sure enough, soon after Yuanmen sent soldiers to send word to the Chinese army, Liaodong Jinglue Mansion praised Mao Yuanyi to pay a visit to Xue Polu.

Xue Polu soon came to the Yuanmen of the Xue Family Army. Standing among the people outside the Yuanmen was Mao Yuanyi, the deputy general of the Central Army of Sun Chengzong, Liaodong's strategist, and also praised Mao Yuanyi. Arriving in the middle of the night, the lowly position is far away, and it is a capital offense. Capital offense."

Mao Yuanyi said politely: "Xue Jiajun is being polite, it is the students who disturbed the general late at night."

Xue Polu said: "Lord Mao, please go to the Chinese Army to rest."

Mao Yuanyi smiled and said: "The students are about to disturb the general, so the general should lead the way."

Xue Polu said: "Lord Mao, the road is uneven in the dark night, please pay attention to your steps."

Mao Yuanyi laughed and said: "It's okay, the students are not so delicate, the general can just lead the way."

Xue Polu said: "In this case, please follow the humble position."

Mao Yuanyi and Xue Polu came to sit down in the big tent of the Chinese army. Mao Yuanyi waved his hand and dismissed his entourage. Xue Polu knew that Mao Yuanyi must have something important to say, so he also let his officers and soldiers retreat far away. Mao Yuanyi and Xue Polu were left in the big tent.

Mao Yuanyi spoke: "The students are here to listen to General Xue's thoughts on behalf of Mr. Jinglue. You must ask General Xue to know everything without saying anything. Mr. Jinglue still thinks highly of General Xue."

Xue Polu understands that these are just talk, and Xue Polu knows the attitude of the Jinglue Mansion from Chu Yi. Xue Polu believes in his own strength. Anyway, he is ready to lead the Xue family army to Liaodong, so he should try his best to perfunctory Some factions in Liaodong.

Xue Polu said: "Master Mao, Mr. Jinglue's kindness and humility are unforgettable. The bottom line of Xue's army's bottom line in this case of barracks attack is to punish criminals who dared to kill Xue's soldiers and set fire."

Mao Yuanyi said: "General Xue's idea is also the meaning of Mr. Jinglue. We must not be soft on such criminals. If we catch one, we will kill one. However, it seems that their relatives should not be involved too much."

Xue Polu stared at Mao Yuanyi and did not speak. Mao Yuanyi patiently said to Xue Polu: "General Xue, it may damage the general's reputation to blame the old and weak women and children. It is better to entrust the Liaodong government to go to sea to capture documents. I believe that sooner or later they will be arrested. Five criminals were arrested and brought to justice."

Xue Polu lowered his head and paddled on the ground with a wooden stick. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Master Mao, I'm a rough man, and I don't know how to turn around. If I don't take these people If there is a murderer, I am afraid that Xue Jiajun will never have a chance to avenge his comrades."

Mao Yuanyi continued: "General Xue, the Xue family has been loyal and good for generations in the Ming Dynasty. Now that the situation in Liaodong is in dire straits, the Xue family should take care of the overall situation and think for the court and for the common people in the world."

Xue Polu said: "Lord Mao, I really can't make any more concessions in humble positions, otherwise no one in Liaodong will treat Xue's army as a dish."

Mao Yuanyi said: "General Xue, the students of your integrity are very admired. The students at Mr. Jinglue will communicate with you a lot. I hope this accident will not affect the major event of rescue of North Korea's Uiju Prefecture."

Xue Polu said: "It is the bounden duty of Xue's army to drive out Jianlu. I just hope that Jinglue Mansion can support Xue's army at that time, and I will be grateful."

Mao Yuanyi said: "Master Jinglue regards the general as a treasure. How could he easily put the general in danger? The students are grateful for the life of the general Hongluoshan. The general will never sit idly by when he is in danger."

Xue Polu said: "Thank you, Lord Mao."

Mao Yuanyi said: "Students appreciate General Xue's loyalty, but it's better for General Xue to try not to happen like today."

Xue Polu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Mao, if there is a little room for maneuver, Polu, I am not willing to do something that hurts both sides."

It was already the third watch after Xue Polu sent Mao Yuanyi away, so Xue Polu seized the time to go to bed and rest. When he woke up the next day, it was already past the morning of the barracks, and the soldiers brought up the towels and copper basins for washing. , Xue Polu finished washing his face, and went back to the low table to have breakfast.

Xue Polu asked while eating: "Why didn't you wake up the general earlier."

The soldier said in embarrassment: "General Lu didn't let us call you."

Xue Polu asked: "Oh, General Lu has been here, what's the matter with him?"

The soldier replied: "General Lu said there is nothing serious, he will come to see you when you wake up."

Xue Polu said: "Then why don't you invite him over?"

The soldier said: "General, when you get up together, some brothers will inform General Lu. It is estimated that this time will be here soon."

Sure enough, as soon as the soldier's words fell, Lu Yaojin raised the curtain and entered the tent. Xue Polu smiled and said, "I was talking about Cao, and Cao is here. Old Lu, come and sit down."

Lu Yaojin pulled a horse seat not far from Xue Polu and sat down, Xue Polu asked: "Old Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Yaojin said: "Master Jinglue has already led the team to go north, but Lord Jinglue has left a thousand troops to garrison in Zhonghousuo City."

Xue Polu was taken aback for a moment and said with a self-mockery: "We are fighting between the snipe and the clam for the fisherman's gain."

Lu Yaojin continued: "Second Uncle, Mr. Jinglue has written an order: order our troops to go out tomorrow to catch up with the Jinglue Mansion's Central Army."

Xue Polu heard the order from Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong economic strategist, and couldn't help squinting at the top of the tent and said, "If you want gold, what do you think?"

Lu Yaojin said: "Second Uncle, Master Jinglue has acquiesced to the actions of our Xue family army. We will go north to join the brigade of Jinglue Mansion after we have settled the affairs of the Zhonghou City today."

Xue Polu said: "If you want gold, I think the same way. Generally speaking, Master Jinglue is still a good person. It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou can't tolerate my Xue family army. Our actions are already on the line."

Lu Yaojin said: "Second Uncle, these civil servants and military generals in Liaodong are not good people. Today we are relented. Maybe one day we will be eaten by them to the bone."

Xue Polu warned: "If you want gold, you are right, I am too emotional."
