Blood from Daming

Chapter 696 Long Drive
On the tenth day of September, the Xue family army had been stationed in the north of Yulin City, and did not pull out the Fengdunzhai Fort of the Yansui Town official army. This happened to benefit the herdsmen of the Tumed tribe, and their range of robbery began to gradually expand, reaching Zhenwumen in the east and Xuanweimen in the west.

Towards evening, Xue Yun got the latest information from Mizhi's Gaojiajunzhai. The Shaanxi Diving Guard's secret report read: Yansui Town Commander Wang Wei's Department arrived at Gaojiajunzhai on the sixth day of the lunar new year and surrounded it on all sides. The next day, Yansui Town officials attacked In Gaojiajunzhai, the two sides fought fiercely, especially in the northeast direction. The sound of explosions could be clearly heard dozens of miles away. The officers and troops of Yansui Town withdrew their troops at Shenshi. According to visual estimates, the casualties of the officers and soldiers were around [-], and the Gaojiajunzhai was still intact.

Xue Yun ordered his own soldiers to reward the submersible spy who delivered the letter. Xue Yun paced in the tent. The Yansui Town officers and soldiers began to attack Gao’s army village on the sixth day of the lunar new year. So today is the fifth day. It was hard for Xue Yun to imagine the current situation of the Gao family's military stronghold, but after getting the news, Xue Yun couldn't sit still outside Yulin City anymore.

During dinner, Xue Yun told Wang Erwa and Yan Laoyao that tomorrow they will cross the Inner Great Wall and enter the hinterland of Shaanxi to put pressure on the Yansui Town officers and troops who are attacking the Gaojiajunzhai. After lunch, Naren Gaowa and his own soldiers will go to inform Tumed herdsmen, tomorrow the army will enter the hinterland of Daming Shaanxi, let them decide whether to follow the army or return to the Aoerdusi grassland.

On the morning of the 1000th day of September, Xue's army packed up their tents and prepared to set off. Except for the [-] Xue's army, there are less than [-] Tumed herdsmen who are willing to follow Xue's army to go south. The robbery in the territory is very regrettable and dissatisfied. Fortunately, in two days on the [-]th and [-]th, everyone still robbed a lot of property, and finally made a small fortune. All the belongings were rushed northward overnight and evacuated from the territory of Yansui Town.

Xue Jiajun walked around the city along the west side of Yulin City, and broke in from the gap in Guide Fort at the right time. Guide Fort is the frontier position for Yansui Town to resist the Mongolian invasion. The whole Guide Fort is shaped like a horse stool. Guide Fort Also known as "Maseng City", there are about 400 permanent defenders. In recent decades, Tumed Mongolia has less than invaded, and the defenders have been reduced to half. Jun Ding, the remaining one hundred old and weak soldiers, saw a large number of Mongolian cavalry passing over the wall, and had no idea at all to stop the enemy. After the Mongolian army passed, the officers and soldiers of Guidebao secretly thanked that they were not attacked.

When Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui Town in Yulin City, learned that the "Mongolian" army had left Guangyumen, he knew that the battle situation in Gaojiajunzhai had been known to the "Mongolian" army, so the "Mongolian" army was divided into two, and all the way to the north with supplies Go out of the side wall and head south all the way to Mizhi Gao's military stronghold.

Yue Hesheng went to the Zhenyuan Gate in the south of Yulin City. Looking at the "Mongolian" army rolling away, Yue Hesheng's heart sank. Now Yan'an Mansion and even the whole of Shaanxi will be devastated. If Wang Wei can be persuaded to give up Attacking the Gaojia army stronghold, I don't know if the Yansui town officials can turn the fight into friendship with the opponent.

Li Bei, the defender of Yulin City, followed Yue Hesheng all the time, took the time to ask the governor Yue Hesheng softly, "My lord, the enemy forces are divided into two groups, and we are going to pursue that route."

Yue Hesheng said: "General Li, which road do you think should be pursued?"

Li Bei said: "The "Mongolian" cavalry going south are extremely tough. If they catch up, they may not be able to please them. The Mongols in the north should be able to pursue them with a lot of supplies."

Yue Hesheng said: "The "Mongolian" army has entered the Inner Great Wall. Wang Zongbing is facing the Gaojia army stronghold and the "Mongolian" army. Corruption in the territory, our officials and generals in Yansui Town will have no face to see the Ming court and the people even though they died a hundred times.”

Li Bei said: "Your Excellency, you are right, but according to the humble official, the two groups of Mongols from the north and the south don't seem to be on the same side."

Yue Hesheng twirled his beard and nodded. At this time, Guideburg, dozens of miles away, ignited smoke, and Li Bei said, "My lord, it's not good. The smoke shows that the Mongolian army has already passed Guideburg."

Yue Hesheng heaved a long sigh and did not speak. Suddenly, the General Banner of the North Gate broke into the tower to report the news. Yulin City Defense General He Renlong led his troops out of the North Gate, chasing the Mongolian camel horse convoy heading north. The news stunned Yue Hesheng, Li Bei and other civil and military officials on the tower of Zhenyuanmen. This He Renlong was indeed "He Crazy", and he didn't ask Governor Yue Hesheng, who was fully in charge of Yulin City's military and political affairs, for instructions. Opening the city gates privately to fight is almost tantamount to rebellion.

It took a long time for Yue Hesheng to utter four words from between his teeth: "Proud soldiers and powerful generals."

Yue Hesheng's voice was very low, and only Li Bei, who was too close, could vaguely hear him. Li Bei couldn't help secretly worrying for He Renlong. Tell yourself that you must abide by the duty of a general, and just kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds to serve the emperor.

Yue Hesheng said: "General Li, I will lead the troops to meet Wang Zongbing, you must guard Yulin City well."

Li Bei hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you can't help it. Most of Yulin City is now a civilian army. Among the officers and soldiers, only General He Can is the most elite. Now General He Can is going north to Mongolia, and Yulin City has no soldiers to use. Forcibly marching against Mizhi will collapse if it encounters the Mongolian army, why not inform Wang Zongbing to make his own decision."

Yue Hesheng shook his head and said, "If General Wang is defeated, there will be no one in Shaanxi who can control these rebellious troops."

Li Bei said: "My lord, if these Mongolian troops are only going to save the Gao family's army, they won't be corrupting all parts of Shaanxi. If the general guesses wrong, it will be very dangerous for you to lead the army."

Yue He stated what Li Bei said, as long as this "Mongolian" army is related to Xue's army, the common people in Shaanxi will not suffer too much harm, but Wang Wei, the general soldier, is particularly dangerous. On the eighth day, they attacked Gaojiajunzhai. On the eighth day, they attacked Gaojiajunzhai from the southeast, and then they were driven out by the army in the village. Wang Wei's success failed. .

Yue Hesheng didn't have a strong general like He Renlong in his hands. Li Bei needed to defend Yulin City and organize a force mainly composed of civilian troops. Most of them would run away before reaching Mizhi. However, going to Mizhi didn't help, so Yue Hesheng also backed down. He could only hope that Wang Wei would pay attention to the two sides of the attack from Gao's army stronghold and the "Mongolian" army after receiving the letter he sent the day before yesterday.

Yue Hesheng sighed and said: "General Li, now we can only hope that the Xi'an government can send troops to help in time."

Li Bei said: "My lord, most of the officials and troops of the Xi'an Prefecture are in the Baishui area to destroy the rebel Wang Er. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of Mizhi for a while."

After the Gaojiajunzhai in the northeast of Mizhi was surrounded by Yansui Town officials on the [-]th of September, Gao Guiying, Ma Ming, Gao Yigong, Tesna and others in the Gaojiajunzhai held a meeting to discuss and decided to stick to the Gaojiajunzhai and wait for Xue Jiajun's death Reinforcement, in order to defeat the invasion of the Yansui Town official army by cooperating inside and outside.

Gao Guiying is full of confidence in the support of Xue's army. The source of this confidence is not only Ma Ming's guarantee, but also Xue Yun's purchase of more than 100 million catties of coarse and fine grains for Gao's army. There are countless military supplies. There is also Tessina Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and five hundred horses were sent.

Xue Yun would not let the Gaojiajunzhai fall into the hands of the Yansui Town officials just for these food supplies, but Xue Yun put so much food and property in the Gaojiajunzhai, isn't it just because of his trust in himself? He won't give up on himself, and there is also Tessna, a woman Xue Yun dreams of.

After Gao Guiying met Tesna for the first time, she fell in love with this beautiful young man. Tesna is delicate and refined, with outstanding and heroic spirit. She wears Mongolian aristocratic costumes and precious treasures. I can't avoid it, but I feel ashamed and sorry for General Xue Yun.

Gao Guiying just thought about it, but felt that such a beautiful man as Tesna was unique in the world. If his favorite general Xue Yun looked like this, Gao Guiying felt that he would have no regrets, and followed Tesna to deliver the cattle, sheep and horses and leave , Tesna disappeared like a dream.

Unexpectedly, just one day later, Tesna fled back to Gaojiajunzhai for refuge because she was hunted down by Yansui Town officers and soldiers. Gao Guiying was very sympathetic to Tesna's experience. With Xue's family allied forces, Gao Guiying felt that she was ashamed of Xue Yun.

Gao Guiying hastily ordered to recall Gao Yigong and Ma Ming's troops who were working in Ansai. The next day, it was reported that the prisoners of the Xue family's allied forces ordered all the generals of Yansui Town to be beheaded in Jiazhou City. After that, Gao Guiying, who had a good impression of Tesna, took good care of Tesna.

In the next few days, Gao Guiying negotiated with Maozhi County of Jiazhou and Yanzhi County of Mizhi. Gao Guiying said that Yansui Town should compensate the loss of the Mongolian caravan and bring to justice the generals who killed innocent people. Maozhi County and Yanzhi County could not do this. Lord, Maozhi County had to ask Yansui Town Governor Yue Hesheng and Chief Soldier Wang Wei for instructions. Yansui Town Governor Yue Hesheng and Chief Soldier Wang Wei replied after discussion. As for the trouble, there is no need to talk about compensation for losses. The officers and soldiers of Yansui Town suppressed the bandits normally. It’s just that the massacre of prisoners was too cruel. That's the end of the matter, and ordered the Gao family army to cooperate with the Suide Prefecture government to eliminate the White Lotus Sect rebels.
