Blood from Daming

Chapter 388
Lord Sun Chengzong's face was a little ugly, after a while Sun Chengzong said: "Polu, if this scripture allows you to choose your own allies, then Xue Jiajun can rest assured."

Xue Polu knew that since he had clarified the matter, he said clearly: "My lord, it is necessary to select allies, but what the last general means is that it is best to divide the troops."

Master Sun Chengzong muttered and said: "Divide the troops, break the captives, tell me what the division of troops is all about."

Xue Polu said: "The last general thinks that the siege of Yizhou Prefecture in North Korea is very dangerous. Master Jinglue can sit in Jinzhou to control the overall situation. Jinzhou Yuan Chonghuan can lead an army by himself. Master Yu is proficient in the art of war and can lead an army. In this way, our Ming army will advance east and west. Any conspiracies and tricks of Jianlu will be difficult to realize, when the time comes, the two armies will meet at the city of Yizhou, and I believe that the crisis of Yizhou will be solved, and maybe they can kill two birds with one stone and wipe out a group of Jianlu."

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Polu, your idea is very reasonable, Mr. Yu, if you are asked to lead the way, are you sure?"

Yu Anxing hesitated for a moment and said, "If my lord agrees to this plan, I am willing to give it a try."

Sun Chengzong said: "Think about this Jinglue carefully, Zhongqing and Polu, you go back and wait for the news. If Polue is still the leader of this Jinglue in the end, I hope you can cooperate well with Ziroom and them."

Xue Polu followed Yu Anxing and left in silence. Sun Chengzong discussed with Mao Yuanyi, who had been in the big tent all the time, and Mao Yuanyi said: "Dong Weng, Xue Polu and Ziru, Zushenjiang have too much grudges against them. They barely get together, and I'm afraid something big will happen."

Lord Sun Chengzong said: "It is indeed a big taboo for military strategists to discord between generals and prime ministers, but Yuan Ziru has sincerely expressed that he wants to put aside the past, and now we can see through the attitude of the prisoners."

Mao Yuanyi sighed: "Dong Weng, a few days ago Xue Polu was arguing with Yuan Ziru about grain and grass. It is too difficult for them to unite sincerely."

Sun Chengzong said: "Zhisheng, what do you think of dividing the army into two groups?"

Mao Yuanyi said: "Dong Weng, divide the troops into two groups and use them flexibly. It can not only temporarily separate the contradiction between Yuan Ziru and Xue Polu, but also give full play to the enthusiasm of the frontline commanders and fully grasp the ever-changing opportunities on the battlefield. Weakened strength, and Yuan Ziru may not agree to this plan."

Sun Chengzong said: "It seems that this Jinglue needs to have a good discussion with Yuan Ziru, um, Zhisheng, if you assign friendly troops to Polu, you think those generals are suitable."

Mao Yuanyi said: "Except for the generals of the Ningyuan Department, it is fine. It would be better if Man Gui and Zhao lead the leadership."

Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Well, I understand."

On the second day after Xue Polu met Jinglue Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chengzong summoned Governor Yu Anxing, and the two had a secret conversation for an hour and a half. After Yu Anxing came back, he went directly to Xue Polu's barracks. Talked with Xue Polu and the important generals of the Xue family army.

Yu Anxing said: "Polu, your division plan has been approved by Master Jinglue."

Xue Polu was overjoyed and asked, "My lord, then Mr. Jinglue assigned those teams to your command."

Yu Anxing said: "The Eastern Front Army is composed of Poluyou, Mangui General Soldier, Zhao Ledjiao General Jingluefu Zanhua Mao Yuanyi, but the leader in charge of the Eastern Front is Jingluefu Zanhua Mao Yuanyi."

Xue Polu was surprised and said: "My lord, Mao Yuanyi has no official position, how can he be above you, my lord?"

Yu Anxing said: "Master Sun means that this Fu is still the supervisor of the army. Mao Yuanyi, praised by the Jinglue Mansion, is in charge of commanding the army on the east road. On the surface, the general of Mangui is the commander. You and Zhao are the assistants of the general. Master Sun said that this is also the result of consultation and coordination with the Jinzhou side."

Xue Polu asked: "My lord, could it be that Yuan Chonghuan prevented you from taking up the post of commander of the Eastern Front Army?"

Yu Anxing nodded and said: "Yuan Chonghuan did not agree with the division of troops at first, and after he came back and accepted Master Jinglue's plan to divide troops, he objected to Ben Fu and Zhao Zongbing being with you. Because of Master Jinglue's insistence, Yuan Chonghuan made a concession. But he proposed that a person acceptable to the Jinzhou Army command the East Front Army, so that he can coordinate with the East Front Army conveniently, so that the master of economics and strategy has confirmed Mr. Mao Yuanyi to be the commander of the East Front Army.”

Xue Polu said: "My lord, what do you say, I will obey you."

Yu Anxing said: "Polu, Mr. Mao is the most suitable candidate. It doesn't matter whoever fights the Tartars will be the commander of the Eastern Front Army. I won't care about these gains and losses."

Xue Polu said: "Mr. Mao is not bad, but I have wronged you too much."

Yu Anxing lowered his voice and said, "Polu, Mr. Mao has a good impression of you. Let's see if Mr. La Mao can attack Liaoyang and even Shenyang with Man Zongbing and Zhao Zongbing."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, is this okay? Then how can the safety of Mr. Jinglue be guaranteed?"

Yu Anxing said: "Master Jinglue sits in Jinzhou, and is under the protection of Ma Shilong, Wang Shiqin, and You Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, so there should be no problem with Master Jinglue."

Xue Polu said: "In the middle, as long as Mr. Mao, Man Zongbing, and Zhao Zongbing agree, we will have a good time in the heart of the Tartars."

Yu Anxing said: "Polu, this matter will be discussed with Mr. Mao, Zongbing Man, and Zongbing Zhao when this matter reaches Yizhou Prefecture."

Xue Polu asked: "My lord, the West Route Front Army is made up of those people and horses."

Yu Anxing replied: "Yuan Chonghuan's West Route Army is composed of: 8000 guards from Ningyuan Central and Left Commander Chen Zhaolan, 1 troops from Ningyuan General Zu Dashou, and 1 troops from He Kegang. There are 7 officers and soldiers in the battalion of Zhang Xian, Du Si Lu Zhong, and Yuan Chonghuan, [-] guest troops in the pass, [-] soldiers in the Liaodong guard, and more than [-] civilian husbands, a total of [-] officers, soldiers and civilian husbands."

The generals of the Xue family's army "buzzed" and made a fuss. Yuan Chonghuan's west army had twice as many troops as the east army.

At this time Lu Yaojin stood up and said: "Okay, don't make trouble, as long as you don't become comrades in arms with people like Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou, it will be the greatest happiness for our Xue family army. No matter how many tartars there are, they will still deliver food to our Xue family army."

The generals of the Xue family army burst into laughter when they heard this, and everyone was gearing up to discuss how to eliminate more Tartars. Seeing the high morale of the Xue family army after the division, Yu Anxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On the second day, the general soldiers of Mangui and Zhao led the general soldiers to move their camps around Xue Polu's troops. Mao Yuanyi, the commander of the East Army, took [-] guards, [-] civilian husbands and [-] guards, and rushed to Xue. Set up camp near the Polu tribe, Mao Yuanyi met with Yu Anxing Mangui, Zhao Lediao, Xue Polu and other generals in his camp that night. After discussing the battle plan and marching strategy, the generals dispersed , Prepare to send troops to North Korea's Uiju Prefecture when the cannon fires at dawn.

However, Mao Yuanyi, commander of the Eastern Army, left Xue Polu alone. Mao Yuanyi said to Xue Polu: "General Xue, please sit down."

After Xue Polu thanked Commander Mao Yuanyi, he sat sideways under Commander Mao Yuanyi, and Commander Mao Yuanyi said, "The students think it's better to call you Polu."

Xue Polu said, "I'm ashamed to be the last general."

Commander Mao Yuanyi said: "The fact that the students were able to lead troops to rescue North Korea's Uiju Prefecture this time is entirely due to the current situation. This requires your assistance."

Xue Polu said: "My lord has a life, but the general will swear to die to serve him."

Commander Mao Yuanyi said: "Polu, the students are very optimistic about you and the Xue family, but unfortunately some generals in Liaodong have a strong regional concept and are very repulsive to the guest troops in the pass, so that General Xue can't concentrate on serving the country. Now the students are in charge of the Eastern Army. I hope Polu can help the students complete the task of saving North Korea’s Uiju Prefecture.”
