Blood from Daming

Chapter 52 City Gate
Xue Yun ordered all the wounded soldiers to stay, and the others prepared to continue marching towards Datong.Xue Liu counted about 120 men and horses who could go out, each with three horses and a set of armor for the Datong army.

At this time, Xue Yun, the leader of Tongtu, and Li Baihu were discussing the plan to arrest Yang Qing. Xue Yun's idea was: this time Liu Dawei failed to besiege Miss Yufu, and the defeated troops will soon flee back to Datong City, and the information will be leaked. He planned to sneak into the city with a team of 120 people pretending to be the Datong army, and go straight to the tiger's den to capture Yang Qing alive.

Leader Tu expressed his disapproval: he admired Xue Yun's ability and bravery, but the earliest our army arrived in Datong City was two days later, and the city gate had already been closed. The fatigued division of more than 100 people attacked Yang Qing secretly, and there might be the danger of the entire army being wiped out.

Li Baihu tinkered for a long time, saying that Xue Yun's idea was good, and then agreeing with Chief Tu, whether this person was lonely and indecisive, or he was very impatient because he was so slick.

Miss Yu, who was joining in the fun at the side, got angry and cursed: "You three big men are here talking nonsense to mother-in-law and mother-in-law. If you get to Datong earlier, you just play by ear, and if you talk about shit for a while, you will have nothing to do. "

Xue Yun led a team of 120 people to set off. Miss Yu voluntarily followed Xue Yun and brought 30 people to follow. The rest guarded the carts, wounded, prisoners and captured supplies.

After leaving Lingqiu, 150 people rushed towards Datong at full speed. Seeing the cavalry chasing after them, Yuantu’s rout soldiers fled in all directions and never dared to run to Datong again. Xue Yun and the others don't mind solving them by the way.

On the way, we changed horses three times and walked more than half of the distance. Everyone stopped to rest, and it was getting dark.Li Baihu sighed: "We are rushing so desperately to close the road, and the city gate will be closed after closing. We can only enter the city tomorrow. I am afraid that there will be more problems in Ye Changmeng."

Leader Tu: "We are now at the forefront. If we are lucky tomorrow, if no one reports the news, we may be able to successfully capture this bastard Yang Qing."

Miss Yu smiled and said: "You still can't enter the city, even if you enter the city, the danger is very high because Datong City not only has the Wengcheng, but also the Yuecheng."

Leader Tu got angry: "Then what are you urging us to come here for?"

Miss Yu said with a smile: "If others can't enter the city, it doesn't mean I can't enter the city. It's just that you are running around like headless flies. You don't know how you will die when the time comes, oh."

This made Xue Yun the leader, so Li Baihu had no choice but to say good things to her and follow her heart as she wished. After everyone coaxed her to be happy, they said: "Datong City is surrounded by solid defenses with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and there are Moon City on three sides outside the city." After passing the barrier of Yuecheng and Wengcheng, the Diaolou on the city is very tall and you can see it from a distance. If you go there, you will be under the monitoring of Diaolou. Fortunately, we are going to operate at night, which is why I asked you to stop The reason here. In addition, there are bunkers and stone villages all around Datong City, so sneak attack is impossible."

Xue Yun asked: "Miss, you must have thought of a way to bring us here."

Miss Yu stretched out her hand and said to Xue Yun, "Show me your hole cards and see if they are qualified enough to enter Datong City."

Xue Yun looked at each other with Tutou and Li Baihu, and Tutou took the lead and said, "We are here to arrest the traitor Yang Qing under the order of Eunuch Wei, the eunuch of Bingbi, the eunuch of the Ministry of Rites, and the eunuch of the East Factory. The Imperial Forest Army personally tried Qianhu Dongchang Dharma Protector Master Xue, Miss Yu, do you think we are qualified enough to enter this Datong City."

Miss Yu sneered: "Then you can go to the city tomorrow by yourself, and you don't have to be so sneaky." Xue Yun, Leader Tu, and Li Baihu patiently asked Miss Yu for advice.

Miss Yu said: "Although Datong City is strong, it's not that there is no chance to enter, but the Datong frontier army has always been xenophobic. If someone betrays your own people, you will not be able to survive in the future. Unless you have the emperor's imperial decree, everyone can discuss it. "

Xue Yun took out a roll of yellow satin from his bosom, held it up and said, "Miss Yu, this is the imperial decree, please accept the decree." Miss Yu was stunned for a moment, then bent down to prepare to kneel.

Miss Yu suddenly stood up again and said: "I don't read the imperial decree, you want to take advantage of me, but I believe what you say is true." up.

With the imperial decree, Ms. Yu had a deep understanding and analyzed it for everyone: "In fact, there are several factions in Datong City, and there are deep conflicts among them. In the final analysis, this is also the result of the imperial court's rule of law and martial arts. Yang Qing is not a frontier army. Many people in the Datong department who were airborne from the Beijing camp refused to obey him, and he was greedy, bullied his colleagues, flattered civil servants, and attacked warriors. He was actually a loner in Datong, with only some powerful servants around him."

Miss Yu went on to say: "Yang Qing colluded with foreign enemies and harmed me. This revenge must be avenged. He just relied on someone above him. Now we have an imperial decree. There are many people in Datong City who want to kill him. Our brigade will go there in a fair manner. Datong, most of the surrounding Datong troops will not suspect us, and everyone will enter the city through the Qingyuan Gate."

Li Baihu: "But how can you get in when you reach Qingyuan Gate? I heard that the four gates of Rendatong seem to be the weakest in Qingyuan Gate. On the contrary, Qingyuan Gate has the strictest defense and the tightest inspection. It is the most difficult gate to enter."

Miss Yu: "Actually, there are many taller and stronger cities in the world than Datong. Is there any city that has not been breached? The key is the defenders."

Xue Yun, Tutouling, Li Baihu and the others listened silently, Xue Yun: "If Miss Yu's errand is done well, and the Yu family has contributed a lot, the credit will go to the community, and the Yu family will benefit. I will report it to the emperor, the factory owner , for the Yu family and all those who have done meritorious service."

Miss Yu nodded: "I will remember these words. With the imperial decree and a little luck, everything will be accomplished. Let's go then."

Xue Yun, Miss Yu, Leader Tu, Li Baihu and a group of more than a hundred people walked towards the west of Datong City. Shizhai ignored the blockhouses along the way, and only a few people asked about it. Being blocked by Miss Yu's people, the terrain around Datong City is flat and there is no problem for walking at night.

Miss Yu approached Xue Yun, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the imperial envoy and I can work together secretly. You help my Yu family to recruit his army after dealing with Yang Qing this time. It is best to sit in his seat. From now on, my Yu family will support you to the end for whatever you have to do in the Xuanda area."

Xue Yun: "Miss Yu, it's a pity that you don't want to do business. I can't refuse the terms you offer. Please remember that you can represent the Yu family in everything you say, and you can really abide by this agreement. .”

Miss Yu patted Xue Yun and said, "Well, I will fully support your success tonight, and at least I will abide by this agreement in the future, please rest assured."

In the next section of the road, Miss Yu's performance surprised Xue Yun and the others. Through her subordinates, Miss Yu summoned three teams of more than 200 people from the bunker and Shizhai. The way of living.

Miss Yu's father's army is in the east of Datong City, far away from the city and close to the Xuanfu, directly facing the threat of Mongols and Tartars, so the Yu family has little power in Datong City, but the Yu family has been a general for generations. China-China relations are as dense as a spider's web and well used is a good resource.

Finally, when it was close to the third watch, about 400 people from Xue Yun and the others came to the west gate of Datong City, Qingyuan Gate. Xue Yun ordered everyone to lurk down and have a good rest. Then he came to Miss Yu and looked at her. She nodded and called out. A person came and gave some instructions to that person, and that person walked towards Qingyuan Gate.

This person is Miss Yu's new staff who joined in halfway. His ancestors were subordinates of the Yu family, and one of his own brothers served as the general banner at Qingyuan Gate.

Miss Yu told Xue Yun how many factions there are in the city. Now there is no general army in Datong, and Yang Qing has the largest official position among the military officers, but no one will listen to him if he is not upright. Yang Qing has four thousand troops under his control. There are more than 1000 people stationed in military camps in various places. There are usually about 800 people in the deputy general's mansion. This time, [-] people came out to besiege Miss Yu. There are hundreds of soldiers, and most of them are old, weak and civilian personnel.

Miss Yu introduced that the man was named Wang. He took a kindling at the gate of the city and shook it there for a few times. He repeated it three times. A person, the man who came out of the basket and the man surnamed Wang talked in a low voice for a long time across the moat, and the man returned to the basket and was hung up on the gate tower.

The person surnamed Wang also came back, and he reported to Miss Yu: his brother agreed to help the court open the city gate, and now he is going back to do the work of his brothers, but he hopes that the court will give some benefits for the credit for opening the gate.

Miss Yu looked at Xue Yun embarrassingly. Xue Yun said, "I'll keep him as the boss. If I can't succeed, I can only do my best."

After hearing this, Miss Yu said to the person surnamed Wang: "Everything is agreed, you go and report to your brother." The person surnamed Wang went to the moat again, took out the kindling and shook it there.
