Blood from Daming

Chapter 593 Jiangzhou
Lu Xiucai snatched Yang Xiuxiu, the daughter of Yang Wuye, in front of Yang Jiaji. At that time, Xue Jiajun bought a large amount of food and ate it on horseback, and the cavalry group headed north to the Yellow River ferry.

When the cavalry of Xue's army went north and passed Mianchi City, they shot the murder of Liu Yongsheng's family in Mengtuoling into Mianchi City with bows and arrows. "Sai Jinhou" issued a warning to the county magistrate of Mianchi City not to harm innocent people, and "Sai Jinhou" took care of everything alone.

Only then did the soldiers and civilians in Mianchi City know that something had happened. After the men of "Sai Jinhou" circled Mianchi City for a week and left, someone from the Yang family outside the city reported the news. It turned out that Lu Xiucai, who landed three years ago, made a disturbance and came back to take revenge and pick up his wife.

The county magistrate of Mianchi County and the officers and soldiers of the city had seen the military appearance of "Sai Jinhou". The uniform armored horses were even inferior to the most elite frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. , It’s just pretending to be a horse thief outside the Great Wall. Since Lu Xiucai is genuine, he will be charged with Lu Xiucai, which can be regarded as an explanation for the death of more than 100 people. Let's wait for Henan Chengxuan to deal with it.

The Xue family army arrived at the ancient ferry of the Yellow River in the evening, and joined the Xue family army guarding the ferry there, but it was getting late, and the Xue family army set up camp on the south bank of the Yellow River. They only allocated four tents to Medical Officer Lu, and they were brought out by Medical Officer Lu's fiancée and Meng Tuoling. people use.

The next day, that is, in the early morning of June [-]th, the Xue family army began to cross the Hebei River. It was not until noon that all the Xue family troops crossed the Yellow River. Xue Yun ordered to reward the boatmen and fishermen who crossed the river. In the old camp, due to too much delay in crossing the river, and the family members and folks led by Medical Officer Lu were not good at riding horses, Xue's army had to set up camp to rest after walking more than half of the distance.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the north side of the camp was full of flames, and the Xue family army was awakened. Xue Yun came to the north side of the camp to watch. Yan Lao Yao came over and told Xue Yun, "General, the direction of the fire ahead is Jiangzhou City."

Xue Yun was startled. Could it be that the civil uprising in Shaanxi broke out ahead of time, but here in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, the civil uprising in Shaanxi should not spread to Jiangzhou. It's just that such a big fire broke out in the north. Xue Yun suddenly fell into deep thought.

Yan Laoyao asked Xue Yun if he should send Ye Bushou to investigate the fire. Xue Yun saw that the direction of the fire was in the northwest, and the place where Wang Erwa set up camp was in the northeast, which was three miles away from the fire. For more than forty miles, it obviously has nothing to do with his own Xue family army. Now that the situation is unclear, he may have hurt his subordinates in vain. Therefore, Xue Yun rejected Yan Lao Yao's investigation proposal.

Waiting until the dawn of five drums, when the fire in the north was much smaller, Xue Yun ordered the entire army of the Xue family to pull out of the camp and leave. At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes from the north. Line up, waiting for the unknown cavalry that will arrive soon.

After a while, a cavalry team of the Ming army charged straight towards the Xue family army, and when they arrived nearby, the leader shouted for help. Xue Yun ordered the Xue family army to refuse the army to enter the battle from the front, so the Xue family army closed the front flag gate, but the Ming team The army was also wise. Seeing that the front could not pass through, he went around from the left wing to the back of Xue's army.

Yan Lao Yao on the side said: "General, there are 58 Ming troops on this route."

Xue Yun didn't answer, but looked at the dusty head in the north, and there seemed to be thousands of people; the forward cavalry could already see the figure on horseback, at this time the soldiers came to the side with a Ming army chief Qian, Xue Yun turned sideways Looking at the busy Mr. Qian, he asked, "Tell me about your official position and what's happening now."

That Ming Army Qianzong said: "General Qi, the humble position is Zhao Riman, the Qianzong of Pingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. He is now being chased and killed by the White Lotus Sect. Please help the general to help suppress the bandits."

Xue Yun said "Oh", feeling that this Zhao Riman is not only familiar with the name, but also has a kind face. Xue Yun fell into deep thought, and it took a while for Xue Yun to remember that Mr. Zhao Rimanqian followed Mr. Ma Qian One of the two accomplices who came to Xue Aoren's army to seize power, unexpectedly met in Jiangzhou, Shanxi three years later.

After knowing that it was Zhao Riman, Xue Yun was even less interested in meddling with the White Lotus Sect, but he was still very interested in listening to Zhao Riman's story: it turned out that Jiangzhou had cracked a nest of the White Lotus Sect, and then followed the clues. Arresting people involved more than 300 people in total, including high-ranking family members of the White Lotus Sect who passed through Jiangzhou. Three hundred officers and soldiers led by Zhao Riman went to rescue Jiangzhou Prison, but they were defeated by the White Lotus Sect who tricked them into opening the city gate, so they fled all the way south to find rescuers.

After hearing Zhao Riman's words, Xue Yun felt that what he said was not true and that he concealed a lot of things; while he was speaking, hundreds of troops from the White Lotus Sect had already stabilized the team within a stone's throw of Xue's army. People did not initiate provocative actions to the Xue family army, but waited for the follow-up brigade to arrive.

Seeing that the young general didn't answer, Zhao Riman knew that it would be very difficult for the Ming army to help kill the White Lotus Sect, but Zhao Riman continued to work hard: "General, although the White Lotus Sect has thousands of people, but They are all mobs, as long as their backbone team is defeated, the White Lotus Sect will be in disarray, and then the general can be promoted and make a fortune."

Xue Yun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhao Qian, why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity."

Zhao Riman blushed and said, "General, the last general only brought three hundred soldiers and horses, and was caught by surprise by the White Lotus Sect, and only took one hundred men out of the city. That's how the last general will still shoot and kill all the way." Killed hundreds of White Lotus Sect bandits."

Xue Yun understood as soon as he heard that Zhao Riman had killed so many members of the Bailian sect, no wonder the Bailian sect pursued Zhao Riman to death. Seeing the posture of the Bailian sect, Zhao Riman would not give up without killing Zhao Riman. Xue Yun secretly wondered if Zhao Riman hadn't met him, would he have been chased by the White Lotus Sect to the Yellow River and staged a farce of Wujiangdu.

Xue Yun asked the soldiers to invite Zhao Riman down, only then did Zhao Riman recognize Xue Yun, and Zhao Riman said in horror: "You are Xue Yun, and you are the Datong Frontier Army."

Seeing that Zhao Riman recognized him, Xue Yun stopped hiding and said, "Mr. Zhao Qian, we don't know each other without fighting. It's just that this general still doesn't understand which true god the Xue family has offended."

Zhao Riman's complexion changed and he said in a low voice: "Xue Jiajun, it was all the fault of the last general in the past. I hope the general can ignore the past and join forces to deal with the White Lotus Sect."

Xue Yun laughed and said, "Mr. Zhao Qian, it's been three years and we met again. Don't you have anything to tell the general?"

Zhao Riman's expression darkened, and after a while he said: "Xue Family Army, the last general is following orders, I really have nothing to say to the general."

Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhao Qian is indeed a tough man. This general sees you as a hero against Jianlu, so I will protect you this time, but there is no need to talk about other things. Come, send Mr. Zhao Qian to rest at the back."

After Zhao Riman knew it was Xue Yun's army, he had no intention of inciting Xue's army to suppress the bandits. Now that he needs to be asked to leave, Zhao Riman had to leave with Xue Yun's soldiers in dejection. At this time, Zhao Riman knew that he missed Given the opportunity for the Xue family army to attack the White Lotus Sect, he lost his troops and lost his generals. After returning, he was either dismissed or beheaded.

Xue Yun looked at the White Lotus Sect team again. At this time, three to four thousand people had gathered. Finally, the leader of the White Lotus Sect came out and asked to talk to him. Yan Laoyao volunteered to talk to the leader of the White Lotus Sect. After a while, Yan Laoyao called Ma came back to report to Xue Yun that the White Lotus Sect's requirement was that Xue's army leave on their own, and they wanted to eat Zhao Riman alive.

Xue Yunxin said that Zhao Riman had caused the Bailian Sect to suffer miserably, and the Bailian Sect would not swallow this bad breath if he did not kill Zhao Riman, but Xue Yun could not hand over Zhao Riman from any angle. It was given to the White Lotus Sect, so Xue Jiajun was destined to face the battle of the White Lotus Sect.

But Xue Yun also has a lump in his heart. His mother is from the White Lotus Sect. The nanny hopes that he will not become an enemy of the White Lotus Sect. Even her cousin, the Jade Sword, who is married to her fingertips, is also from the White Lotus Sect. If she fights with the White Lotus Sect, she will not know. Will he accidentally hurt his relative or old friend? These are very terrible things.

After thinking about it for a while, Xue Yun decided to go out to meet the leader of the White Lotus Sect in person, and asked the soldiers to shout for the leader on the opposite side to come out and talk. Accompanied by the army, the leader of the White Lotus Sect who was in charge of negotiating also accompanied an old man out of the White Lotus Sect team and walked towards the middle.

When Xue Yun and Yan Laoyao were less than fifty steps away from the two leaders of the White Lotus Sect, Xue Yun recognized the two leaders of the White Lotus Sect. The two acquaintances of the White Lotus Sect met at the border of Nanpi made Xue Yun feel that the world is really small. These enemies who have almost forgotten, today he met three at once. Maybe there is still himself in the White Lotus Sect old acquaintances.

Xue Yun couldn't help joking and said, "Aren't you two old friends safe here?"
