Chapter 36: Going out of the city to fight

At the mention of this, Ye Fu sank his face and asked with a serious face: "Do you know where the things looted by these Tartar soldiers come from?" ”

"This ......" Lu Ding has always been immersed in the joy of victory, and he really neglected to interrogate this, and immediately pleaded guilty, "It's the fault of the humble position!" After the war, I was so busy counting the spoils of war that I forgot this verse, and asked my lord to forgive me. I will immediately go to inquire about it, and I believe that there will be a result soon. ”

"Don't feel guilty." Ye Fu comforted him and said, "The people you are chasing are all dead, and there is no chance to inquire." Not long after I came back, he took stock and came to report to me. It's not a mistake to do things one by one and without procrastination. ”

Lu Ding listened to Ye Fu exonerate himself, but he blushed even more. But admitting his mistake again seemed a little nondescript, so he had to say: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will investigate immediately." ”

"Not necessarily." Ye Fu said, "I have already interrogated before, those people were all taken captive under the rule of Yongdian Military Fort, and I think that livestock, money, etc. were also looted in Yongdian Military Fort. As the people said, it should be Xu Pingong who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. He did not hesitate to sacrifice these to the Tartars for his own life. ”

"How unreasonable!" When Lu Ding heard this, he couldn't help but clench his fists and scolded angrily, "This guy, no wonder he is so domineering to adults, and he can't be summoned." It turned out that he intended to commit treason, and he had already turned his heart to the Tartars! ”

"Such soft-boned traitors are by no means a minority in my Liaodong Army. Think about the past, in all the battles, are there still fewer traitors who want to sacrifice the city? If it weren't for their soft bones, and the rest of the people who dared to fight with the Tartars also had their own mountains and could not unite and help each other, my Liaodong Army would have resisted, and how many Tartar soldiers would there be? Is it still our opponent? ”

Hearing Ye Fu's words, Lu Ding was silent.

He wants to make a contribution, and he has seen a lot of killing, and he hates Tartars to the core.

And what made him feel even more hateful was a soft-boned traitor like Xu Pingong!

As for the mountains inside the Liaodong Army that Ye Fu said, he didn't think it had much to do with it. Thinking about it, Ye Fu has not yet fully grasped the power in his hands, and once he holds it, with his position as a garrison of twelve military forts on the front line, it can be regarded as one of the top of the mountain anyway.

Ye Fu saw that Lu Ding was silent, but he no longer tried to explain anything to him, but said: "However, this character of his has left us with a lot of trouble. Before, I still thought that if Xu Pingong refused to open the city gate for me, I would have to spend more brains. Whether it is a deception or a siege, it must be carefully planned. But now, it seems, it's not that much trouble. ”

Lu Ding immediately heard that there was another battle, and estimated that it would be a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what do you say I should do?" Humble and obedient to orders, he was a pawn for the adult! ”

"This time, you don't need to go." Ye Fu said, "You stay in the camp and lead the troops as backup!" ”

"But, my lord, ...... you," Lu Ding hesitated, "Attacking the city is not as dangerous as an ambush, so your lord should leave this matter to the lowly position, right?" ”

"Of course, there are some dangers, but they are not as serious as you think." Ye Fu said, "Before, I instructed you to dismantle and wash the armor and cotton clothes of the tartars, have you asked people to do it?" ”

Lu Ding was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, the humble post has already been ordered to be dealt with." ”

"Well, that's good!" Ye Fu said with a smile, "Since the Thirty-Seven Horsemen of the Tartars can let Xu Pingong open the city and surrender and let him plunder, then why don't I follow suit?" Let him Xu Pingong bleed again! ”

"Your Excellency wants to pretend to be a Tartar soldier and open the city gates?" Lu Ding's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's still an adult, you have a way!" ”

Ye Fu sneered, "When the time comes, when I open the city gate, you will lead people to rush in and quickly control the entire military fort." Such scum, I have to make him look good! ”

"Yes, obedience!"

The north wind was blowing, blowing the flags on the fort.

In the city, in the office of the Thousand General Administration, Xu Pingong frowned, and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.

"Big brother! Why are we panicking like this! "It was a man dressed as a Confucian scholar named Xu Gaozhuo. It belongs to the same clan as Xu Pingong, but it is a distant relative who does not know which generation can be related by blood. This person has always regarded himself as a strategist, and Xu Pingong had also listened to his strategy before.

But now, Xu Pingong listened to his words, but like an old cat who had been stepped on his tail, he turned his head suddenly, jumped at him and scolded: "You shut up for me!" If it weren't for your bad idea, why would Lao Tzu be so passive now! ”

Xu Gaozhuo was suddenly stunned, "My lord, you didn't say that at the beginning!" ”

Unconsciously, the eldest brother has become an adult, and the meaning of estrangement no longer needs to be obvious.

Xu Pingong was unconscious, still pointing at his nose, and scolded angrily: "If it weren't for your repeated demagogy, would I have done such a stupid thing?" There are twelve subordinate military forts in Sanyang, and only our military forts have not arrived for officers above the general level! If you just didn't get there, it would have been forgotten, and you even encountered Tartar raids! Five boxes of gold, five boxes of gold! That's the savings I've worked so hard to accumulate over the years! It's so cheap for nothing! What if I had not been there then? What if I had been in Sanyang at the time? Even if you listen to the reprimand of the surname Ye, it is just a hardship for the ears! This time, Yongdian was looted not because of my Xu Pinggong, but on his Ye Fu's head! Now what? Now what? If Ye Fu calculates, I am afraid that he will not only treat me for the crime of disrespecting military orders and ignoring the superiors, but also accuse me of collaborating with the enemy and treason! This...... How good is that! ”

When Xu Gaozhuo heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with disdain.

Even after the war, the number of soldiers was sharply reduced, but Xu Pinggong's men still had hundreds of soldiers who could fight. Even if the combat effectiveness is relatively weak, it has fought in the end. Field battles are not good, and they don't even dare to fight with others in the defense of the city, for fear that they will slaughter the city if they anger the Tartars. He won't take it in his eyes when others die, but he is afraid that he himself will die inexplicably!

As a city and a thousand generals, he actually opened the city to raise the enemy, this is simply treason to the enemy, that's right! At this time, there is still the face to blame others?

But then again, Xu Gaozhuo didn't know Xu Pingong on the first day after all, and he was actually used to his virtue. If you say that your heart is cold, I don't know how many times it has been cold.

It's just that the situation in Liaodong at this time is completely useless for scholars.

If it weren't for the high-ranking officials such as the strategy and the governor, or the civil officials with the patrol and the imperial history with the arrows, I am afraid that this group of generals who are incompetent externally but domineering internally will never be taken seriously.

What's more, Xu Gaozhuo is just an ordinary person, who has been trying for a long time, and his family is extremely poor. In such a troubled era, the idea of the imperial examination has long been abandoned. It is already God's eyes to be able to use him, and it is bad luck not to meet the master, so where can he ask for more?

He sighed in his heart, but before he knew it, he heard extremely flustered footsteps outside.

Not long after, a voice came into his ears, startling Xu Pingong and Xu Gaozhuo at the same time.

"My lord! Oh no! Here we go again! ”

"What?" Xu Pingong was suddenly frightened, "What should I do?" What to do? How could it be...... Why is it coming again?! Yunshen (Xu Gaozhuo, word Yunshen), help me, help me! What am I going to do? What to do? I don't have anything worth grabbing! ”

Xu Gaozhuo only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost vomited blood.

When the dignified city defender heard the enemy attack, the first thing he considered was not how to defend the city, but whether there was anything for others to rob, what kind of face is this!

can be assisted by such a person, Xu Gaozhuo has no choice.

"That's it, since the city was opened last time, this time ...... Let's open the city! Whether there is anything to grab depends on others, not you! There is no silver or gold, but the cattle and the people still have it. You...... Alas......"

When Xu Gaozhuo said this, he really couldn't go on, so he turned around and left.

I thought in my heart, when this batch of Tartar soldiers came in, even if it was a Confucian body, he would have to pull one or two as cushions! To be a human being to live to this extent, the nest is extreme! It's really not as happy as a death!

~~

Xu Pingong could only open the city gate.

He had long been frightened by the Tartars, and he had seen them slaughter the city when they met the slightest resistance, and he was so frightened that he had no intention of resisting at all.

Soon after Xu Gaozhuo left, he put on his armor and went up the city wall with trembling steps, at least to see what was going on.

Ye Fu was dressed as a tartar at this time, with a beard sticking to his face, and the braids that exposed his hat were all modeled after tartars. When you look closely, you will naturally reveal the stuffing, but from a distance, it is really like that.
