Blood from Daming

Chapter 387 Personal expedition
Yuan Chonghuan asked Zhou Shoulian: "Commander Zhou, Master Yu said that your Youtun did not allocate food and grass to Xue's army. Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Shoulian replied: "My lord, it is true that we did not transfer food and grass to Xue's army, but we will report it later."

Yuan Chonghuan said: "General Zhou, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Zhou Shoulian said: "My lord, Xue Jiajun does not belong to the formal formation of our Liaodong Army, and the personnel have not been reviewed, so our Youtun Grain Depot has not distributed grain and grass for the time being. Once the establishment and specific personnel are confirmed, the humble officer will immediately send them to Xue Jiajun. Distributing food and grass."

Yuan Chonghuan said to Yu Anxing: "Master Yu, did you hear that, it's not that the generals of Youtun Zhou didn't distribute grain and grass, it's because Xue Polu didn't complete the relevant procedures."

Yu Anxing said: "Then when will you, Master Yuan, distribute food and grass to Xue's army?"

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Well, well, this soldier is doing something special. Tomorrow, I will send food and grass to Xue Jiajun for three days, and then complete the relevant procedures as soon as possible. I believe that Xue Jiajun will not bother about food and grass in the future. General Zhou, I will give it to Xue Jiajun tomorrow." Send food and grass for three days, do you hear me?"

Zhou Shoulian replied: "I understand the humble job."

Yuan Chonghuan said to Yu Anxing: "Master Yu, I have something to discuss with you."

Yu Anxing just looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said nothing, Yuan Chonghuan said: "According to General Zhou's report, Xue's army framed his comrades to lead Jianlu to attack Youtun, and then he was delaying time and refused to save Youtun. The last point is that Xue's army is private. Zhan originally belonged to the soldiers and civilians of Youtun, I hope Master Yu can give the next official an explanation."

Yu Anxing stared at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Master Yuan, now that the enemy is facing us, we should unite with sincerity. If we continue to fight like this, we will become sinners of the imperial court and millions of people in the Ming Dynasty."

Yuan Chonghuan said: "My lord Yu, I don't know what you are referring to. I just discuss the matter. If I don't get a reasonable explanation, I will definitely report the situation of Xue Jiajun to the court and Mr. Jinglue."

Yu Anxing said: "Master Yuan, it is your right not to report the situation of the Xue family army to the imperial court to Lord Jinglue, but I can answer your questions. As for the purpose of the Xue family army who supervises the army, there are Jianlu fought there. As for Ben Fu, Xue Jiajun and Zhao Zongbing, the three families joined together to concentrate superior forces to fight annihilation. As for the capture of some cattle and sheep tents in the Jianlu camp, let alone Xue Jiajun because of lack of food, These cattle and sheep are used as food, and even the soldiers of Ben Fu and Zhao Zongbing are malnourished, and these cattle and sheep are used to nourish the soldiers in the army."

After hearing Yu Anxing's reply, Yuan Chonghuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Master Yu, I'm afraid such a statement is hard to convince, and it's not convenient for Mr. Jinglue to explain it."

Yu Anxing said: "Ben Fu will explain to Master Jinglue, Master Yuan, if there is nothing special, Ben Fu will leave."

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Master Yu, why do you have to leave in such a hurry, the officials are going to discuss with Master Yu how to pursue Jianlu Jierhalang and his men tomorrow."

Yu Anxing said: "The army under Ben Fu is still busy making a living, I'm afraid I can't go crazy with Yuan Ningqian, and Ben Fu is leaving."

Yu Anxing ignored Yuan Chonghuan's persuasion, and resolutely left the camp of the Jinzhou Army. Asking Zhou Shoulian to be severely punished for harming the reinforcements, Yuan Chonghuan had to pay attention to Zhao Shoulian's compensation.

The next day, Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth and gave Xue Polu food and grass for three days. At the same time, he notified Yu Anxing, Zhao Ledjiao, and Xue Polu to come to the Jinzhou military camp to discuss the pursuit of Jianlu Jierhalang. Who knew that Yu Anxing was not the only one , Xue Polu did not come, even Zhao Ledao, who spoke well yesterday, also said he was sick and refused to come to see Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan was so angry at this moment, he said a lot of good things, and sent a batch of food and grass, who knew that the three families of Yu Anxing, Zhao Lijiao, and Xue Polu still didn't eat oil and salt with green beans. The eyeballs in the tent were all red.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the generals in the account and was silent for a long time before he said: "This soldier wants to chase Jianlu Jierhalang, what do you think?"

The generals in the tent looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, everyone hooked their heads. No one answered Yuan Chonghuan's topic. With Xing, Zhao Ledjiao, and Xue Polu assisting in the battle, our Jinzhou army of more than 3 soldiers is still unable to defeat the newly defeated remnants of thousands of Jierhalang."

The generals in the tent still didn't answer, Yuan Chonghuan was about to get angry, Zu Dashou stepped forward and whispered to Yuan Chonghuan: "My lord, Xue Polu is the vanguard officer appointed by Master Jinglue, how can we send troops to fight without Xue Polu, die! Xue Polu's people are better than those who killed us."

After listening to Zu Dashou's words, Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while before saying: "That's fine, just let Mr. Jinglue urge them to send troops."

The generals in the tent knew that Yuan Chonghuan would not fight Jianlu for the time being, and everyone let out a long sigh of relief, but Yuan Chonghuan felt uncomfortable looking at these generals. Why did his generals become less and less courageous the more they fought against Jianlu? Now, how could a general like Xue Polu not be his subordinate?

These days, Xue Polu's camp is full of cheers. The soldiers eat enough beef and mutton every day. Their small life is like a fairy, but Xue Polu and his generals know that the good times will not last long, because in Jinzhou Master Sun of Liaodong Jinglue in the city moved to the right camp, and it seemed that Yuan Chonghuan was going to use Master Jinglue to suppress Xue's army to go out.

Xue Polu understands that the day when Xue's army will leave Liaodong is getting closer and closer. There are quite a lot of cattle, sheep and livestock seized from Jianlu Jierhalang in the camp this time. Knowing whether he could protect them or not, Xue Polu gave some cattle and sheep to Man Gui, Liu Guoyong in Shaanxi, General Xiao Can in Sichuan and even Xue Zong.

Sure enough, today, Mr. Sun of Liaodong Jinglue summoned governor Yu Anxing and Xue Polu alone. Mr. Sun Chengzong of Jinglue was very kind. Regarding the matter of discord, he also asked about the situation of Xue Jiajun and whether he had received the newly allocated grain and supplies.

Xue Polu received the ten-day food and grass allocated from Youtun yesterday, but Xue Polu was already very disgusted with Mr. Sun Chengzong's way of pretending to be deaf and dumb. Letting Xue Polu fight with people like Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou created a deep sense of insecurity.

Then Lord Sun Chengzong of Liaodong Economic Strategy said: "Polu, the rescue of North Korea's Yizhou Prefecture has been delayed for too long. This strategy has decided to send troops to North Korea's Yizhou Prefecture three days later, which is the third day of June. You It is a very honorable task to serve as the vanguard of our Liaodong Army."

Xue Polu knew that he was being used as cannon fodder, but Xue Polu could not object to such a decision. There is no reason for the Ming Dynasty army to set off. I can only try to ensure that the losses suffered by Xue Jiajun are minimized.

Xue Polu said: "Master Jinglue. The general wants to know which superior is leading the army."

Master Sun Chengzong said: "This time, this is a personal conquest of the Jinglue. The combat forces are composed of Ning Jin and Yuan Chonghuan's troops. You have already reached the Ministry of Education led by Zhao. The guest army consists of a total of 8 Daming officials and [-] soldiers from the guards and [-] Liaodong civilians in the logistical logistics force."

Xue Polu listened to Sun Chengzong's bragging about how powerful the Ming army was. In fact, the 8 guards and [-] Liaodong civilians fought against each other. Less than half of the officers and soldiers can fight tough battles, and everyone has their own ghosts, plus the big trouble of protecting the vehicles of the Liaodong Economic Strategy, the Ming army really has little chance of winning this time.

Xue Polu asked: "Master Jinglue, my Xue family army has a tense relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others. When we are fighting, who do we take orders from, and who are our friendly troops on both wings."

Lord Sun Chengzong said: "Ning Qiandao and Yuan Chonghuan are responsible for the command of the former enemy, but this strategy believes that before the interests of the country, you will be able to put aside the past and cooperate sincerely."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, I, the Xue family army, can't get some food and grass. What's more, at a critical moment, human life is at stake. How dare the last general entrust the lives and deaths of thousands of brothers on the basis of someone's kindness, my lord, the last general It’s really hard to die.”
