Blood from Daming

Chapter 405 Evacuation
At the time of You in Liaoyang City, Taihe Gate and Anding Gate were opened first, Liaodong East Route Army Zhao led the Ministry of Education to go out from Taihe Gate first, and then Mao Yuanyi, who came out of Anding Gate, was followed by the guards of the Central Army and civilian husbands. The gate filed out to protect the right wing of the army, and Xue Polu's troops came out of the Pingyi gate to protect the left wing of the army.

There were 4 Liaodong troops with 5 horses when they came, but there were more than 2 troops when they left. Now the entire southern city of Liaoyang is completely in flames. More than [-] Jianlu of various ethnic groups and a large amount of food and supplies were also burned.

In such a big fire, the Jianlu in the northern city did not mention fighting the fire, even if it is close to the southern city, there is a possibility of being scorched. The key is that the whistling south wind brought the sparks from the southern city to the northern city, and ignited many houses that had not been burned in the northern city. , so that the Jianlu in Beicheng knew that the Ming army had retreated, but they couldn't spare their hands and feet to chase the Ming army, because they were too busy to fight the fire.

The fire in Liaoyang City illuminated the entire night sky, which brought great convenience to the Liaodong Army traveling at night. There was no need for torches on the thirty or forty miles away from Liaoyang City. Horses were provided, and there were also carriages for old and weak women and children. The speed of the whole team was accelerated. The Liaodong East Route Army only rested twice on the way. By dawn, the army had reached the outskirts of Tianshui Station.

The vanguard troops led by Zhao made a charge and occupied Tianshui Zhanbao City. Then Zhao led his troops to take Lianshan Pass non-stop. In one corner, there were more than 70 Jurchen and other prisoners, men, women and children killed by the Ministry of Education. Mao Yuanyi knew this and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Tianshui Zhanbao City is not too big, Mao Yuanyi didn't intend to disturb the people, but let his Chinese army and some old and weak live in Tianshui Zhanbao City, but out of courtesy, he reserved some houses for Mr. Yu's troops, and then Mao Yuanyi went It's time to deal with the affairs of Tianshui Station Fortress.

Since the entire Tianshuizhanbao City fell into the hands of Jianlu, the role of Tianshuizhanbao as a military fortress has disappeared. After Jianlu occupied Tianshuizhanbao, he killed some Baoding and ordinary people who they thought were close to the Ming Dynasty. , placed some Jurchen and Mongolian families in Tianshui Zhanbao City to manage the place. These Jurchen and Mongolian families collected food and grass for Jianlu to spy on the military situation, and also occupied a large amount of land and houses in Tianshui Zhanbao City to bully the local Liao people. stand up.

Now Mao Yuanyi is full of enthusiasm, met with the seniors of Tianshui Zhanbao City, and asked the Liao people in Tianshui Zhanbao City if they would like to return to Ming Dynasty, but the reaction of Tianshui Zhanbao City was relatively cold, after all, a small town like Tianshui Zhanbao City The suppression of Jianlu was relatively small in the local area. Although they were also bullied by Jurchen and Mongol Tartars, the former Ming officials and officials were not much better, so they didn't give Mao Yuanyi, who appeared as a savior, much face.

However, Mao Yuanyi was not easily discouraged. Fortunately, there were only more than 300 people in the entire Tianshui Zhanbao City. Mao Yuanyi took his subordinates to work one by one in person. In the end, [-]% of the Liao people were willing to return to Daming with the Liaodong Army. How much did Mao Yuanyi feel? To make up for the regret that the seniors who met Tianshui Zhanbaocheng were left out in the cold.

The Xue family army who walked at the back also arrived outside the Tianshui Zhanbao Castle. When Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui Lianjue entered the castle to meet Mao Yuanyi, they knew that Mao Yuanyi was going to be the Liao people of Tianshui Zhanbao City. After work, Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui were extremely depressed.

Xue Polu couldn't take it anymore and said: "Master Yu, why did Master Jinglue send such a rotten scholar to lead the army? Now we have more than 5 soldiers in the East Route Army, and life and death are at stake. matter."

Yu Anxing was actually very dissatisfied with Mao Yuanyi, but Yu Anxing was modest and not a particularly power-fighting official. Mr. Jinglue sent his own staff to lead the three armies instead of a dignified governor, which made Yu Anxing very embarrassed. Fortunately, Yu Anxing was not optimistic about the future of the eastward rescue of North Korea's Uiju Prefecture, so he didn't care about this leading position, and even thought of avoiding responsibility.

Who would have thought that the Xue family’s army was so capable of doing things. They broke Liaoyang, the former capital of Jianlu in the First World War. A normal person would not be jealous of such a feat. At first Xue Polu said that he could break Liaoyang City, but Yu Anxing was still half-believing. Xue Polu fooled himself in order to escape to North Korea, but he didn't expect it to come true. Yu Anxing still feels that he is dreaming.

Mao Yuanyi not only took away his own honor, but also constantly had conflicts of ideas with the generals under him, and became more and more authoritarian. Now he has thrown down tens of thousands of troops, regardless of whether the hundreds of Liao people will return to the south Doing work, this is putting the cart before the horse. Yu Anxing also has serious doubts about Mao Yuanyi's knowledge.

Man Gui said a little angrily: "Why would Mr. Jinglue send Mr. Mao to lead the army? It is most suitable for Mr. Mao to handle civil affairs."

Yu Anxing held back his anger and said, "Mr. Mao is also out of love for the country and the people. Let's wait for him for a while."

Man Gui roared: "The original intention of quack doctors is to save people. Now the military situation is extremely urgent, and the situation around our army is changing rapidly. Even a little time may cause irreparable losses. The hundreds of people in Tianshui Station Fort City and Liaodong Which is more important, the tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Eastern Route Army."

Man Gui's words made Yu An Xing Lingtai sober, and suddenly made up his mind and decided to stay in North Korea and make contributions with Xue Polu in the rear of Jianlu. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing spread their power outside the region and made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Anxing said: "General Man, Mr. Mao is famous for his knowledge of soldiers, I believe he has his own sense of proportion."

At this time, Mao Yuanyi happened to meet Mao Yuanyi returning to the Chinese army garrison, and Mao Yuanyi said: "Zhongqing, you are here."

Man Gui said loudly: "Mr. Mao, what time is it? Jianlu is already under our noses. You still have the mood to hang out."

Surprised, Mao Yuanyi asked, "General Man, you have discovered Jianlu's pursuers."

Man Gui said: "The right wing of the last general encountered the third vest team of Jianlu Xianglan Banner. The officers and soldiers of the last general killed 17 people, captured six people, and escaped with another seven people. I believe our army's intention has been achieved."

Mao Yuanyi said, "Come on, let's go into the room and talk."

Mao Yuanyi took Yu Anxing, Mangui, and Xue Polu into the largest courtyard of Tianshuizhanbao City, and the four of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. Mao Yuanyi said: "General Man, tell me the specifics. Condition."

Man Gui said: "The Jierhalang Department of the Jianlu Xianglan Banner is searching near Anshan. We have discovered what happened in Anshan Yibao. I believe the Anshan Tartars must have seen the fire in Liaoyang City. I don’t know that Liaoyang City has fallen, and the people who built Jierhalang are concentrated in Haizhou and Zhemu City.”

Mao Yuanyi asked: "General Man, is there any news about Zhenghuangqi Azig and Xiangbaiqi Dudu?"

Man Gui said: "Three of the six vests died, and the news that the general can get is really limited. They don't have any news about Zhenghuang Banner Azig and Xiangbai Banner Dudu. They only heard that the owner of the Xianglan Banner, Amin, went south. Yes, Jierhalang is really angry about this matter."

Mao Yuanyi said: "General Man, your piece of news is very important. If it is true, then there will be too many Jianlu troops around my East Route Army."

Mongolia said: "Even Azig of the Zhenghuang Banner and Jierhalang of the Xianglan Banner are not easy to deal with, not to mention Dudu of the Xiangbai Banner and Amin of the Xianglan Banner get my East Route Army to break through Liaoyang City. The old man is coming to attack us, and the army from Jianlu Shenyang will arrive soon, our situation is really very dangerous."

Mao Yuanyi said: "Then what are the opinions of General Man and General Xue?"

Man Gui said: "Things in the war are changing rapidly. The general feels that the command system is running too slowly. I hope to form a front enemy command group to be responsible for commanding the overall military operations of the East Route Army."

Mao Yuanyi was taken aback when he heard Man Gui's words, and thought that Man Gui was about to seize power, did I, Mao, do something wrong, there are still those people involved here, Mao Yuanyi unconsciously cast her eyes on Yu An Sex and Xue Polu.

Man Gui said: "Mr. Mao, you don't need to look at other people. It's my idea, Man Gui. The few of us are here arguing about this and that all day long. The general feels that it is too time-consuming to delay the general. Only then did we propose a way to set up the former enemy headquarters."

Mao Yuanyi squinted his eyes at Man Gui and asked, "What does General Man mean by a former enemy headquarters?"

Man Gui said: "Generally, the last general, General Xue, and General Zhao are in charge of the battle. In important situations, Mr. Mao, you and Mr. Yu are added, but the credit is still yours."

Mao Yuanyi asked: "General Man, then you are the leader of the three-person leadership team of the former enemy headquarters."
