Blood from Daming

Chapter 414
Yu Anxing asked: "It is not a long-term solution to destroy the captives, but living in North Korea for a long time lacks food and soldiers, and faces pressure from the imperial court, North Korea, and Jian captives."

Xue Polu said in his heart that you, Mr. Yu, are not a roundworm in my stomach. How could you know exactly what I, Xue, think, but Xue Polu tried his best to give the most reasonable explanation on the surface: "My lord, what the humble job values ​​is North Korea. The country’s strategic location, one can stay away from Ningjin and Shanhaiguan to avoid conflicts with Yuan, Zu and others, and two can take advantage of North Korea’s superior geographical location to contain and attack Jianlu’s flanks and rear.”

Yu Anxing said: "Recently, Mr. Mao asked Ben Fu, suspecting that you want to go to North Korea to support your own self-respect. If the East Route Army retreats to Ningjin in the future, what will you and Xue Jiayou do?"

Xue Polu said: "As long as the Xue family has soldiers in hand, I believe the court will not pursue the Xue family too much, not to mention that the lowly position in North Korea is to better attack Jianlu."

Yu Anxing said: "Polu, you have your reasons. Even if the court doesn't care about your actions, the North Korean country may not agree to our long-term residence."

Xue Polu was overjoyed when he heard that Yu Anxing mentioned "we", and felt that it could be said that Mr. Yu stayed in North Korea, so he decided to tell Mr. Yu some valuable information to strengthen Yu Anxing's determination to stay in North Korea. , So Xue Polu sorted out the Korean intelligence brought by Xue Si last time and told Yu Anxing.

Xue Polu said: "My lord, the king of North Korea, Lee Jae, is not upright. I, Ming Dynasty, have not recognized the legitimacy of Lee Jae's throne, and the struggle for power among the Korean royal family is getting more and more intense. How can King Lee Jae have the power to interfere with our heavenly kingdom?" Maybe he will entrust us to speak for him, and ask for an edict for the right position in the Ming Dynasty."

Yu Anxing nodded and said: "The king of North Korea, Li Ji, Tianqi took the place of his uncle Guanghai Lord Li Hun for three years, and the general Li Shi, who supported the current king Li Ji for four years, turned against Li Shi, and immediately abolished Li Ji. Taking his uncle Xing'an Lord Li Jing as the new king, Li Shi was defeated and killed three days later, and Xing'an Lord was also killed, and Li Zhen was restored. After that, North Korea sent missions to Dengzhou to visit Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, and asked for the governor of Denglai. Yuan Keli acted on his behalf to clarify the cause, in order to obtain the orthodox recognition of the current king of Korea, Li Zhe, from the Ming court."

Xue Polu looked at Yu Anxing with admiration and said, "My lord, you really see thousands of miles away, as if the affairs of North Korea are within your fingertips."

Yu Anxing smiled slightly and said: "These things are all on the bright side. As long as you pay attention to the Tangbao, you will naturally know about nine out of ten. I didn't expect Polu to have a needle in his heart and care about the world situation. .”

Xue Polu thought to himself, I know what a fart, all these contents about North Korea were narrated by the young master’s wife, Ms. Wouldn't getting Master Yu's help be like Liu Bei's getting Wolong in the Three Kingdoms, so I should try to win Master Yu over.

Xue Polu said: "My lord, if we stand firmly on the North Korean territory, we will make great achievements in attacking Jianlu, not to mention that my young master will come to Liaodong soon, I believe that you don't want to miss this good opportunity to serve the court. "

Yu Anxing said with a smile: "If there is such a good opportunity, I will naturally not miss the opportunity to do my part for the court and the emperor. I will deal with the Polu for the matter of temporarily staying in North Korea."

Xue Polu said: "If there is an adult personally commanding, the chances of winning the attack on Jianlu will be greater."

Yu Anxing smiled and said, "Let's discuss this matter later."

Following Yu Anxing, he bid farewell to Xue Polu. Xue Polu sent Mr. Yu outside the tent. Yu Anxing politely refused Xue Polu and asked him to return to the tent to take a rest. Xue Polu also felt a little tired and said a few words In a polite manner, he broke up with Mr. Yu.

As soon as it was bright the next day, Zhao led the advance troops of Zhao Zongbing to move in the direction of Changdian (Changdian), followed by the guards and civilians led by Mao Yuanyi and the Liaomin convoy, who were in charge of Yu An after the entire army was broken. The teams of Xing, Man Gui and Xue Polu remained where they were.

Xue Polu sat on a small post and listened to Qiao Guoliang's report from Qiao Guoliang, who was recovering quickly from his serious injuries: "Professionalism killed more than 30 Jian prisoners, and the prisoner, Mailer, really died in the chaos."

Xue Polu was surprised and said: "Guoliang, what happened in the prison camp."

Qiao Guoliang said: "In the past few days, the people of Liao have collected a lot of money from the prisoner, trying to take the opportunity to rescue the old slave Fifteen Argododo in order to get a big reward. However, the Liao people have already disclosed this news to the prisoner camp. Last night, our diving guards and secret agents The battalion joined forces to hide the fifteenth Argododo first, and killed all the Jian captives and Liao people who rushed in to rescue them. The captive, Meler, resisted fiercely, and we had no choice but to execute him on the spot."

Xue Polu said: "Well killed, how many prisoners are still alive."

Qiao Guoliang said: "There were only more than 50 prisoners. Last night, in the chaos, some people wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and their subordinates shot and killed about ten of them."

Xue Polu said: "Guoliang, kill all those disobedient prisoners, as long as Duoduo is kept."

Qiao Guoliang said: "Second Uncle, Nurhachi's youngest daughter, Conggulun, is the one who makes the most trouble. This little brat should kill or not."

Xue Polu suddenly became interested and said: "Oh, what does this girl look like, has she ever been married?"

Qiao Guoliang thought that Xue Polu had an idea and quickly replied: "Second uncle, Conggulun has been betrothed to someone else, and he is Gulbuxi from Taijiborjigit clan of Taijiborjijit, a Mongolian Khalkha tribe attached to Nurhaci. Going to Shengjing, looks should be the best choice among the Jurchens."

Xue Polu pondered for a while and said, "Guoliang, compared to us Han women, what level of beauty is it?"

Qiao Guoliang said: "Cong Gulun's body is very fit, but his skin and face are not as good as Jiangnan beauties, but he can also be regarded as a northern beauties. General, my subordinates will bring you a look. If you are satisfied, stay. If you are not satisfied, leave Just kill it or lock it up."

Xue Polu glared at Qiao Guoliang and scolded: "You pig-headed, the life and death of the princess and Baylor is a national matter, and you and I can kill it if you say so. This princess Conggulun is a well-behaved woman just by her name. How old are you now?"

Qiao Guoliang replied: "The imaginary age should be 14 years old."

Xue Polu said: "Your age is not bad, let's leave it to the young master, Guoliang, a woman like Cong Gulun is a princess after all, that's something we rough people can enjoy."

Qiao Guoliang replied: "Second uncle, my nephew understands, and what about those rebellious Liao people's families."

Xue Polu said: "Guoliang, don't keep anyone who should be killed. You must shock those Liao people. Those who report the letter will be rewarded. How much reward have you offered?"

Qiao Guoliang said: "There are five people reporting. Our Diving Guards and Xue's secret camp have prepared 1000 taels of silver. Now I feel that it is a bit lacking. The dark camp is also preparing to give 1000 taels of silver."

Xue Polu said: "Small, go to Xiao Mingzi's camp and withdraw 1 taels of silver. The five informants will each reward 1000 taels of silver, and the rest will be rewarded to the soldiers who participated in the war. To betray and buy a spy, you must offer a price that will make the other party tempted and hard to refuse, understand."

Qiao Guoliang nodded gratefully and said, "My nephew understands, but two of the informers and their relatives were involved in the prison robbery. What's your attitude, Second Uncle?"

Xue Polu said: "You tell the informer directly and give him a favor. If the informer doesn't mind the life or death of his relatives, we will take care of it for him."

Qiao Guoliang bowed and said, "Second Uncle, my nephew is retiring."

Xue Polu patted Qiao Guoliang's arm lightly and said: "Guoliang, your injury is not healed yet, you need to pay more attention to your body, it's not a particularly important thing, you just let Mandun and Song Kui come."

Qiao Guoliang nodded and left quickly. At this time, Wang Ping's cavalry came back. Wang Ping trotted all the way to the small post. But there were only 5000 people, and the latter didn't find out that they were following the large army, and the last general asked Mr. Tao Qian to watch, so he hurried back to report."

Xue Polu was a little puzzled and said to himself, "Why did only 5000 people come?"
