Blood from Daming

Chapter 472 Against
Governor of Yansui Yue Hesheng was very angry with Datong Xue Yun. For the sake of his family's gains and losses, this senior general of the Ming Dynasty was haggling with the imperial court. He was clearly this out-and-out warlord. The imperial court transferred Xue Yun to Beijing to take office The governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion was serving as a second-rank official, and this Xue Yun happened to be unconscious. Could it be that this was Xue Yun's delaying tactic in order to continue to control the military power of Datong Mansion.

Governor of Yansui Yue He said: "General Chen, we in Yansui Town only focus on suppressing thieves, even the stragglers in Datong Town, let this little fox Xue Yun suffer from being dumb this time."

General Chen Hongfan understood that Yue Hesheng wanted to pretend to be deaf and foolish to eliminate this so-called "horse bandit". Chen Hongfan thought in his heart that Mr. Yue, I am afraid we don't have such good teeth.

General Chen Hongfan said: "Master Yue, if this horse bandit is also from the line of our Ming army, the fire of the second army will not hurt the vitality of the court."

Yue Hesheng, governor of Yansui, said: "The rebellious ministers and thieves are punishable by everyone. General Chen, you don't have to say too much."

At this moment, a Chinese military officer came to report: "My lord, Zhang Zongqi is back."

Chen Hongfan said: "It's Jingxuan who came back, quickly send him the account."

The officer said: "My lord, Zhang Zongqi was injured and is currently being treated."

Chen Hongfan asked, "What happened?"

Ai Ai, an officer of the Central Military Commission, said: "Zhang Zongqi went to Liujiashan to inquire about the news this time, and gave him a full allocation according to the general's order, but only thirteen of the 50 people came back, and most of them were injured."

Governor of Yansui Yue Hesheng and Counselor Chen Hongfan were startled when they heard that a gust of wind entered Chen Hongfan's big tent. Everyone stared at an officer with his left arm wrapped around half of his face. The officer raised his head, Chen Hongfan recognized that the injured officer was his favorite young general, Zhang Xianzhong, the general patrol banner, also known as Jingxuan.

General Banner Zhang Xianzhong knelt on one leg in front of General Chen Hongfan and said, "My lord, the small patrol missed the opportunity, so I'm here to receive the punishment."

Chen Hongfan said: "Jingxuan, let's talk about the situation you encountered first."

Zhang Xianzhong raised his head, looked at Yue Hesheng and Chen Hongfan, and said, "The younger one took fifty patrolmen to Liujiashan to explore the camp. Twenty miles away from Liujiashan, he encountered a ten-man team of horse bandits. The younger one was going to arrest a few "floating captives" to ask for confessions, so he led his brothers to act first, shot and killed three people on the spot, and injured four others. But when the arrest was about to be successful, the horse bandits threw out iron lumps, killing and wounding many of the younger brothers. Soon, a team of ten horse bandits came to reinforce them. He retreated with his men, was hunted down by horse bandits along the way, and lost many brothers, and finally only 13 of them came back including Lian Xiao.”

Chen Hongfan understood, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by 20 opponents and 50 opponents, Zhang Xianzhong had to do it first, otherwise he might not be able to come back, and his fifty nights would not be accepted, but elite soldiers among elite soldiers can at least be With the combat power of 300 general frontier soldiers, the soldiers of the Xue family army are really too strong.

Chen Hongfan said: "Jingxuan, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. This time, I will not blame you. Next time, I will try to be a criminal and meritorious service. Well, Jingxuan, apart from the bumps of the horse bandits, what do you think of the horse bandits' combat effectiveness. "

Zhang Xianzhong was very grateful for hearing Chen Hongfan's words, but when he mentioned the horse bandit, Zhang Xianzhong showed a terrified expression, and he fell on the ground and refused to speak for a long time. No one will blame you."

Only then did Zhang Xianzhong say: "General, Master Yue, apart from the horse bandits' powerful fireballs, these horse bandits are all equipped with elite armor and are not afraid of death, and are willing to fight to the death for their companions. Even the first batch of ten-man team has three left who can fight. At that time, these horse bandits did not retreat at all, and our frontier soldiers in Yansui Town can't compare with them."

After hearing this, Chen Hongfan nodded and said: "Jingxuan, you have worked hard, go to the Chinese Army to pay a sum of money for use, and take the brothers who have come back to have a good rest to restore morale."

Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked Chen Hongfan, and left the big tent. Chen Hongfan looked sideways at Yue Hesheng, and the governor of Yansui Yue Hesheng coughed and said, "It seems that it really is the Datong Army. Trouble."

Chen Hongfan said: "Lord Yue, we are not strong enough to deal with the horse bandits in Liujiashan, but we are able to eliminate those horse bandits in Liujiashan. If Datong Prefecture makes trouble in the future, our Shaanxi Province will be in big trouble."

Governor of Yansui Yue He said: "It's a pity that it's too late to say anything, I have to say something now."

Chen Hongfan said: "My lord, let's invite soldiers to Hu Ting, the governor of Shaanxi in Xi'an."

Governor of Yansui Yue Hesheng said: "The matter of the Gao family army in Liujiashan was originally the matter of Hu Tingyan. Isn’t it boring to find Hu Tingyan, General Chen, but Wang Zongzhen can think of a way.”

Chen Hongfan said: "Lord Yue, don't think about where Wang Zongzhen is. When the general and the Zongzhen Lord came here, they thought they were dealing with some thieves and bandits. If the Zongzhen Lord knew that they were fighting against Datong Xue's army, I am afraid that the 3000 troops It will also be transferred immediately."

Yue Hesheng, governor of Yansui, said: "General Chen, we are all on the same boat. This time we brought a large army out to suppress the bandits. We can't be anticlimactic. At least we have to face this group of horse bandits. Even if it is the Datong army, why don't we Can't you win?"

In Liujiashan, Gao Jiajun formally set up the flag here. Gao Guiying rejected Li Xiaoyong's proposal to go north to Datong Prefecture, and decided to build a vertical kiln in the Yansui Town area, and wanted to go to Jiazhou, Zhenchuan Town, Fugu, and Shenmu. To take revenge, Li Xiaoyong and Ma Ming tried to persuade Gao Guiying several times, but they had no effect. They asked Gao Yigong to persuade his sister Gao Guiying, but Gao Yigong was also very reluctant, so Li Xiaoyong and Ma Ming had to acquiesce in Gao Guiying's decision.

The current Gao family army is recruiting people everywhere, and the number of troops has expanded to more than 300. With the support of the Xue family army, horses, weapons, and armor are all ready-made, but the combat effectiveness of the team is hard to say. It may not be a year or a half. Let the subordinates see the blood a few more times, I am afraid they will not be able to fight tough battles.

On the afternoon of April 30th, the news came from the patrol of the Xue family army. At noon, more than 35 miles away from Jiazhou, the two teams of the patrol battalion fought fiercely with the Shaanxi officers and soldiers. Four soldiers died, one was seriously injured and five were lightly injured. Injured, killed [-] officers and soldiers and captured three.

That afternoon, Li Xiaoyong, Ma Ming, Gao Guiying, and Gao Yigong got together to discuss matters. Li Xiaoyong meant to move out of Liujiashan, move around and fight in northern Shaanxi, and not fight head-on with the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town. Li Xiaoyong and Ma Mingliang were there.

Li Xiaoyong and Ma Ming anxiously asked Gao Guiying what she meant. Gao Guiying said that she would fight the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town and Jiazhou. It's difficult, if you really want to fight head-on with the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town, you must use all firearms to ensure victory. Then the matter of Xue's army pretending to be a horse bandit will happen soon, which may cause a chain reaction between Xue's army and the court.

In this way, Li Xiaoyong had no choice but to temporarily suspend troops in Liujiashan. For five days in a row, Xue Jiajun and officers and soldiers of Yansui Town did not move. Guo Jingsong led nearly [-] troops and came all the way to Liujiashan on the border of Jiazhou.

The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town and Jiazhou approached Liujiashan when Shenshi was approaching. Chen Hongfan, the general of Yansui Town, ordered the army to camp on the spot. There was a team of troops on the high loess slope five miles away, and the leader was Qian Zong of Datong Prefecture. Li Xiaoyong and Gao Guiying, the leader of the Gao family army, followed every move of the officers and soldiers in Yansui Town and Jiazhou at the foot of the mountain.

Li Xiaoyong knew that he would not be able to fight in this state today, but Gao Guiying watched the [-] officers and soldiers set up camp at the foot of the mountain. In the direction of Zhixian County, the important Shanzhai passes in Mizhi County were all blocked by troops sent by Mizhi County Magistrate Yan Zibin.

Gao Guiying said with some shame: "General Li, Guiying was confused for a while and let Xue Jiajun be trapped in Liujiashan. Guiying doesn't know what to do now."

Li Xiaoyong said: "Ma'am, you are too worried, you still don't know who is trapping whom."

Gao Guiying's complexion improved a bit after hearing this and said: "Since General Li said so, eldest sister can rest assured."

Li Xiaoyong said: "Madam, don't worry, at the end of the battle tomorrow, the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain will be killed to the last."

Gao Guiying said in a good mood after hearing this: "If that's the case, Eldest Sister will beat the drums to cheer for General Li and Xue Jiajun."
