Blood from Daming

Chapter 692 He Renlong

Yansui Town is one of the nine big border towns of Daming, and Yulin City is the capital of Yansui Town. The people here have been influenced by the military for a long time, and their transfers and retreats are orderly. Moreover, the people in Yulin don’t have many valuable things, a little clothes, quilts, food, and carts It is almost enough to carry the donkey on the shoulders.

So when Xue Yun arrived with the Mongolian Tumed herdsmen, there was not much property to rob, but there were still a few people who had not completely taken away their food and living supplies, but that was a drop in the bucket for more than 6000 Mongolians. The herdsmen couldn't grab valuables, and even took away the iron pans, shovels, copper locks, boxes and bedding in the empty houses.

Then with the acquiescence of the Xue family army, the Mongolian herdsmen burned their houses, and the north of Yulin City was suddenly ablaze. The north wind blew towards the sky above Yulin City, and the smoke covered the entire Yulin City. The smoke tens of feet high could be seen for hundreds of miles around, as if the entire Yulin City was burning.

Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui, understands everything, and these Mongols are ulterior motives rather than drinking. They came to Yulin city to implement the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, but Yue Hesheng couldn't figure it out. Since these people are Mizhi Gao's army The accomplices in the village, then what are these Mongols, old and young, here to do? Once a war starts, won’t they die in vain?

Yue Hesheng was sure of the enemy's intention, but he was still not sure whether the Mongolian cavalry outside the city were flying eagle flags or were faked by the Xue family army. The unanimous indignation of the people, have asked the governor Yue Hesheng to open the city gate to fight.

Yue Hesheng squinted his eyes and looked out of the city, it was not very clear in the smog, but Yue Hesheng felt that the small number of cavalry outside the city were strictly disciplined, and they had been confronting the soldiers and civilians in Yulin City, not like the Mongolian cavalry who went their own way. For a while, Yue Hesheng dared not agree to the request from the soldiers and civilians of Yulin City.

Li Bei, the garrison of Yulin, was furious and ordered the gunners of the Ming army to fire. Several general cannons on the north wall of Yulin City opened fire, and the fire flew out of the city in a flash. Apart from wasting gunpowder in vain, the officers and soldiers of the city didn't even touch a single hair of the officers and men of Xue's army.

After defending Li Bei and firing a round of artillery, knowing that it was useless, he had to stop the drums, and when he came to Yue Hesheng, he did not have the murderous look just now. Yue Hesheng saw that Li Bei had awakened, so he did not blame Li Bei for his recklessness. He Renlong, the general of the defense of Yulin City, came to the city to see the governor Yue Hesheng.

He Renlong, a native of Mizhi County, was a Jinshi during the Wanli period. He was known for his bravery in battle. Everyone called him "Crazy He". Going deep into the Hetao Mongolian territory in the north of Yansui Town to plunder, they were deeply hated by the Tumote tribe of Aoerdusi.

He Renlong asked Xuanfu Yue Hesheng for instructions: "Master Futai, please allow the last general to go out to fight in the city, and we will definitely kill these Mongolian thieves."

Yue Hesheng looked at He Renlong and shook his head secretly. It seems that being called "Crazy He" is worthy of the name. There is a string missing in his head. Otherwise, why would he be a Wu Jinshi instead of a Wen Jinshi? Who wouldn't want to take advantage of it? , this governor is surnamed Yue, and he is a descendant of the upright and loyal Prince Yue Feiyue. If this battle can be fought, it will not be your turn to congratulate Renlong to ask for a fight.

However, Yue Hesheng is a literati, and a literati should have magnanimity, especially a high-level literati like Yue Hesheng, whose magnanimity is even more unfathomable, and his words are also hidden deep meaning. Yue Hesheng did not directly answer He Renlong's question. Instead, he called the guard Li Bei and He Renlong to the battlements to have a closer look.

Yue Hesheng pointed to Xue's army in the distance and said: "General He, General Li, what do you think of this cavalry outside the city?"

He Renlong looked carefully and said, "That's right, Grandma, when did Tumot have such a disciplined elite, why didn't our old He know at all."

Yue Hesheng did not answer He Renlong, but asked Li Bei, the Yulin garrison at the side, what he thought of the troops outside the city. If there is nothing, it shows a very tight military formation, Tumed Mongolia does not have such a strong army, and the identity of this team is a bit strange."

He Renlong said: "Old Li, you mean that this team is hiding their true identities."

Li Bei looked at the governor Yue Hesheng and said nothing, and then the governor of Yansui Town, Yue Hesheng, said: "General He, General Li, Chen Hongfan and Cao Wenzhao fought against Liujiashan last year. The loss of officers and soldiers, don’t you understand what’s behind it?”

He Renlong said: "Mizhi Gao's military village has long colluded with the horse bandit Feiyingqi outside the Great Wall. The two adults, Chen Hongfan and Cao Wenzhao, suffered from the flying eagle flag, but Shaanxi Chengxuan Zhengsi recruited the Gaojiajunzhai, causing Gao's army to The rebels in the village got so big that they bred tigers and caused the tragic loss of [-] officers and soldiers today. These people should be the famous and fearful Flying Eagle Banner along the Shanshan border wall."

Yue Hesheng said: "General He, do you know the secret of the Flying Eagle Flag?"

He Ren Longmu paused and said: "My lord, it has been rumored that the Flying Eagle Flag has something to do with the Xue family army in Datong Town. Is that true?"

Yue Hesheng nodded and said: "General He, this rumor should be true. It has been 30 years since the Flying Eagle Banner was destroyed, and it has reappeared several times since then. People with ulterior motives came back from the dead. Flying Eagle Banner, Gaojiajunzhai and Xuejiajun all have the same Weapons, grenades and explosive packs, such sharp weapons that are unique in Ming Dynasty, Donglu, and Mongolia, prove the close relationship between Feiyingqi, Gaojiajunzhai, and Xuejiajun."

He Renlong scolded: "His grandma, Xue Jiajun actually extended his hand to our Shaanxi. It's like a rat eating arsenic to seek death."

Li Bei said: "Master Futai, it is said that Xue Yun, the general of the Xue family army, has been bedridden before. Could it be that his generals secretly sold grenades and explosives to Feiyingqi and Gao's army camp?"

Yue Hesheng said: "Ben Fu also thought about this, but recently, there have been reports from spies who sneaked into Gao's Army Village. Shanxi has been transporting a large amount of supplies to Gao's Army Village. The people who were ambushed by us in Yansui Town this time were escorting cattle and sheep According to the secret report of Maozhi County in Jiazhou, and according to the confession of individual prisoners who were later executed, they belonged to the commander of Datong, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Xuejiajun Special Economic Zone, which proves that it was a commercial operation led by the Xuejiajun.”

Li Bei said: "Lord Futai, these can only prove that Xue's army has business dealings with Gao's army."

Yue Hesheng said: "In addition to hoarding supplies, the Gaojiajunzhai also has a group of elite soldiers who are not from the Gaojiajunzhai. The Gaojiajunzhai does not rob houses, but can live a very rich life. The flow of people in the village is very mysterious. Ben Fu suspects that the Gaojiajunzhai is Datong. A stronghold of the Xue family army in Shaanxi."

Li Bei asked: "My lord, Xue's army is an official army in Shanxi. What are they going to do when they come to Shaanxi to set up a stronghold?"

Yue Hesheng said: "This is also the place where Ben Fu can't figure it out, but they are hoarding grain and grass to fight and feed horses, which coincides with the current situation in Shaanxi. There are some experts here."

He Renlong said: "My lord, the last general is the Mizhi man. The female leader of the Gao family's army village is a little widow with no great skills, but her uncle Gao Yingxiang is a fierce horse bandit leader. Could it be that the widow and girls want to follow her?" Uncles can’t rebel together.”

Yue Hesheng didn't quite believe that Gao Guiying's Gao Family Army Village would rebel, so he said, "Gao Yingxiang, General He, tell me about Gao Yingxiang's situation."

He Renlong said: "My lord, Gao Yingxiang is from Ansai, Yan'an Prefecture. He is from the same lineage as Mizhi's Gaojiazhai. He has been smuggling cattle, sheep and horses outside the mouth. By the way, he is also famous in the underworld for robbing houses and eating black people. big brother."

Yue Hesheng said: "According to the secret report from the insider of Gao's army village, Mrs. Gao and Gao Yingxiang had turned against each other. This caused Mrs. Gao to pull a team in Mizhi Gao's village and prepare to go to Shanxi. She was hit hard in Fugu and Shenmu. This is when the Flying Eagle Banner battle against Liu Jiashan appeared, well, General He, have you seen Mrs. Gao, Gao Guiying?"

He Renlong shook his head and said: "My lord, I have never seen the little widow Gao Guiying, but our Mizhi is a place where beauties come out, and Gao Guiying is even a legendary romantic little widow. Speaking of her relatives, friends and children, this Gao Guiying is quite She has a bit of beauty, otherwise it would be impossible to win over so many people."

Yue Hesheng shook his hands and said, "General He, this Gao Guiying seems to have some pretty looks, but she is the shopkeeper of the vertical kiln in Gaojiajunzhai, but she doesn't rely on her looks to win people over, and she is never short of money, which is very troublesome." consider."

He Renlong said in a hurry: "My lord, what does talking about so many things have anything to do with the general going out of the city to fight these fake Mongolian bandits?"

Yue Hesheng said: "General He, of course it has something to do with it, and it has a lot to do with it."
