Blood from Daming

Chapter 370 Apricot Mountain
Xue Polu's team quickly passed through the suburbs of Ningyuan City in the afternoon. Except for the Yanhui Gate on the south side of Ningyuan City, the other three gates were closed. The obvious increase, Xue Polu scorned the Ningyuan defenders in his heart. If the Xue family army wanted to enter Ningyuan City, these second-rate troops who stayed behind could not resist.

Xue Polu's team camped in Xingshan before dark. The team had just started camping. Xue Polu took a large number of generals under the protection of the Chinese army to inspect the terrain of Xingshan and Songshan. When the generals returned to the camp, the cook camp was already heating the dishes for the third time.

In the big camp of Shanhaiguan Governor Yu Anxing, it was already sky, and the tent of Governor Yu Daren was still lit, and there were only Yu An and his staff member Chu Yi in the entire tent.

Yu Anxing said: "Mr. Chu, the Xue family's army came back so late after going to Xingshan and Songshan to inspect the terrain. I always feel that there is something wrong in my heart, but I can't say where the problem is."

Chu Yi said: "Dong Weng, I'm too worried. If Dong Weng wants to be on the safe side, it's better to go to Jinzhou Jinglue Mansion to listen to the order in front of Mr. Sun's account."

Yu Anxing smiled wryly, "If Ben Fu can work in the Jinglue Mansion, why would he be willing to take risks with Xue Polu's vanguard."

Chu Yi said in a low mood, "Dong Weng, the chance of us returning to Shanhaiguan with Xue Polu's team is probably less than [-]%."

Yu Anxing was shocked and said, "Mr. Chu, is it really so serious?"

Chu Yi shook his head and smiled wryly: "Dong Weng, the student said there is still a [-]% chance, it just depends on the attitude of Mr. Jinglue. If Mr. Jinglue fails to rescue him, then there is no such a [-]% chance."

Yu Anxing said thoughtfully: "The Xue family's army is an army of deadly battles, and Jianlu may not be able to defeat them easily."

Chu Yi said: "No matter how strong the Xue family's army is, it is still a lone army. If the Datong army hadn't appeared in time for the Hongluoshan battle, let alone Xue Polu's entire army would have been wiped out. Even the outcome of your lord and Sun Jinglue is clear at a glance."

Yu Anxing sighed: "Speaking of which, Xue Polu and Xue Yun were able to succeed in the battle of Hongluo Mountain. This is also the result of the Xue family's loyalty to the king's affairs and their willingness to serve the court."

Chu Yi said with a smile: "Dong Weng, at one time and another, Xue's meritorious service was not rewarded, but instead they were convicted and made the heroes cry. Can such a court make the heroes of the world willingly run for it?"

Yu Anxing said: "Mr. Chu means that Xue Polu will not do his best to reinforce North Korea's Uiju Prefecture this time."

Chu Yi said: "The Xue family army has been procrastinating for more than a month. Does Dong Weng still expect them to die? The current Xue family army is no longer the Xue family army in Hongluoshan, but Jianlu will let Xue Polu's army go all out. went."

Yu Anxing nodded and said: "Jianlu hated Xue's army to the bone, and he would never let Xue's army go easily in this narrow encounter. Ben Fu was worried about the enmity between Liaodong Army and Xue's army, and refused to fully support Xue's army. This not only Putting the Xue family's army in danger will also lead to the corruption of the entire Liaodong war."

Chu Yi hesitated for a while and said: "Dong Weng, the Xue family army is in a dead end now, Dong Weng should make a good plan for himself."

Yu Anxing sighed and said, "Ben Fu came to Liaodong and put his life and death at risk. Even though it is not good for Liaodong to be buried with Xue's army this time, it has fulfilled Ben Fu's wish to serve Ming Dynasty all his life. To be loyal to the court, you can leave the barracks tonight and go to him."

Sitting there, Chu Yi seemed to be engaged in an ideological struggle and did not answer Yu Anxing's words. Yu Anxing took out a package of things from beside his seat cushion and placed it on the small table in front of the two of them.

Yu Anxing said: "You and I have had a great time together for several years. There are gold, silver and jewels worth thousands of taels. I will make money on the road for my husband. If I have a chance, I will tell the court and my family that I, Yu Anxing, have spent everything for the Ming Dynasty." to the last drop of blood."

It took Chu Yi a long time to sigh: "Dong Weng, the students have been wandering for half their lives. It is a blessing for the students to meet Dong Weng. After a few years of being a guest and host, how can the students say so easily, not to mention that Xue Jiajun may not necessarily be a dead end."

After hearing this, Yu Anxing asked anxiously, "Sir, what do you say?"

Chu Yi said: "The students thought Xue Jiajun might have other plans."

Yu Anxing stood up abruptly and began to circle around the tent. When he turned three times on the ground, Yu Anxing suddenly stopped and said to Chu Yi: "It is impossible for Xue Polu to surrender to Jianlu, unless he goes to Mao Wenlong who took refuge in Dongjiang Town may flee to North Korea, but these are dead ends, and Xue Yun in Datong and the Xue family in the capital will be implicated.”

Chu Yi said: "Dong Weng, the students think so too, but what the students don't understand is why Xue Polu hastily evacuated the military subordinates in Liaodong before sending troops, and combined with the forced revenge in Zhonghousuo City and the frequent visits during the past two days. Inspecting the terrain of Liaodong, Xue Polu has too many abnormalities."

After Yu Anxing heard this, he was silent for a while, and Chu Yi continued: "Xue Polu beheaded two generals in the army, and exchanged the food and military supplies from the former camp for the flat vans of the friendly army, and sent a large number of them. Food and materials are given to the local people, what does all this explain?"

Yu Anxing stammered and said: "Xue Polu's actions are indeed a bit unconventional, but this does not mean that Xue Polu has any actions that endanger the court."

Chu Yi said: "Dong Weng, people in the officialdom see things differently from us people in the mountains. They always think that the Xue family and the Jianlu have mortal enmity. In fact, these enmities are all due to official business. , the Xue family may not be a thousand-year-old iceberg."

Yu Anxing wondered, "Is there such a possibility?"

Chu Yi replied: "Even if Jianlu is willing, the Xue family may not believe in Jianlu, but the Xue family hates evil like enemies, and has never been willing to suffer losses since entering Liaodong. Now the Xue family army is besieged on all sides in Liaodong. It is impossible for an aristocratic family like the Xue family to survive for more than 200 years."

Yu Anxing said: "Sir, what do you think Xue Polu will do next?"

Chu Yi said: "Dong Weng, it depends on where Datong Xue Yun is now."

Yu Anxing said: "Didn't the Tang newspaper say that Xue Yun led the army in Mobei?"

Chu Yi said: "Dong Weng, the news in the Tang newspaper is about the year of the monkey. Think about where Xue Yun's team was during the battle at Hongluo Mountain."

Yu Anxing asked: "Sir, what you mean is that Xue Yun will participate in the battle of Uiju Prefecture in North Korea."

Chu Yi said: "Dong Weng, you are too optimistic. Not to mention that Xue Yun may not come, even if he does come, he may not help the Liaodong Army fight against Jian captives."

Yu Anxing's face was a bit ugly, Chu Yi said: "The imperial court has indeed gone too far with the Xue family. They want the horse to run without feeding the horse, and even beat him with a whip. It is inevitable that the Xue family has two minds. There are only two possibilities for Xue Polu, either to join forces with Xue Yun's Datong Army to protect himself, but Xue Polu still cannot escape the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Jinglue Mansion, then the only option is to go east to North Korea to learn from Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town and occupy a piece of North Korea. The land stands on its own."

Yu Anxing said: "Xue Polu's army is only more than 4000 people. The northern part of North Korea is sparsely populated, and the mountains are high and dangerous. It is very difficult to recruit troops and raise food. The idea of ​​sitting in the territory is too risky."

Chu Yi smiled and said: "Dong Weng, the North Korean country may not be able to cope with Xue Polu's troops alone, let alone Xue Yun's Datong army to help in the battle, even if the Korean country is destroyed, it is not impossible."

Yu An got impatient and said: "Mr. Chu, what should we do, but tell Mr. Jinglue that this is our guess. If Xue Polu is wronged, it will be detrimental to the court and the Xue family."

Chu Yi said: "It's too late to tell Lord Jinglue now."
