Shen Xi inquired in detail and finally figured out the situation.

Liu Daxia's military talent is relatively high, and after contact with the main force of the Tatars, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and fought and retreated, preparing to withdraw to Yulinwei, but in the area north of the Dingdangmiao River, he was surrounded by the Tatars, and is currently in an isolated and helpless situation.

Fifty miles of road does not seem to be far, but in this era of marching and fighting, the road is difficult to travel, after leaving the Great Wall Pass, there is Hong'er Mountain on the way north, and there is a river called Zasak trench in the Tatar population, how can it take a day, if you add the transportation baggage, the speed of the march will only be slower.

It takes about two days to go back and forth, and Zhu Hui doesn't dare to take this risk.

If you send out cavalry, the rescue speed will be much faster. But the biggest problem is that the number of cavalry of the Ming border army is too small, and the combat effectiveness is far from that of the Tatar cavalry.

In fact, the effect of sending infantry is also roughly comparable.

Because the border army did not update its ordnance for a long time, whether it was a strong crossbow, firearms or armor, there was a big gap with the time of the founding of the country, coupled with insufficient training, once the two armies met head-on, the only result was defeat after defeat, and over time, the Ming officers and troops lost the confidence and courage to win, and took defeat for granted.

Shen Xi, escorted by Yu Niang and the handsome guards, arrived at the General Military Mansion in the north of the city, but before anyone could enter, he was stopped by the soldiers at the door.

Shen Xi knew that if he behaved too cowardly, then he would be nothing in Yulinwei.

"Get out of the way, Ben Chin wants to see the Duke of Baoguo!" Shen Xi's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted loudly, suppressing these soldiers on duty.

If it were an ordinary teenager, these ruffians would have blown people away long ago...... What the? You don't want to go? Show your sword to see if you can go, and if you don't fight, it's strange if you beg your father to tell your mother.

But who is this in front of you!

Yesterday, he fought a bloody battle with the Tatar elite cavalry, and was stunned to leave the corpses of nearly 1,000 Tatars with less than half of the opponent's men and horses, and made a great contribution to the "Qin Cha".

The people appointed by the emperor dare to stop it, it's tired!

"My lord, don't embarrass us who guard the gate, we are also acting on orders!"

These guards also had the same mentality as the guards, and felt that both sides could take their own lives, so they had to beg and coax, hoping that this Lord Qincha would leave on his own.

Shen Xi sneered: "Yansui Town is lost, you can't afford it!" If you stop it, you will be killed! ”

As he spoke, as soon as Shen Xi waved his hand, Yu Niang pulled out the saber.

There were only three people on Shen Xi's side and the handsome guards, and there were twenty or thirty soldiers guarding the door, and none of them dared to stop them.

Shen Xi smoothly entered the General Army's Mansion.

"Where is Bao Guogong?" Shen Xi entered the General Soldier's Mansion, surrounded by houses, he didn't know where Zhu Hui was, and immediately asked loudly.

Yu Niang hurriedly reminded: "Lord Shen, we are unfamiliar, you should be polite." ”

"If I'm polite, and the Duke of Baoguo can send troops to help, then I don't care, but is it possible?" Shen Xi replied.

At this time, Yu Niang couldn't reply, but the fact was that Shen Xi was only sent by the Ministry of War to deliver artillery, if this identity was exposed, let alone Baoguo Gong, even the soldiers who watched the gate at the gate of the General Military Mansion would not take Shen Xi seriously. What I want now is this arrogant arrogance, if you are not ruthless, others will not treat you as a dish.

Shen Xi strode forward, although he didn't know where Bao Guogong was, he would look for the most conspicuous house, and it was expected that people like Zhu Hui would talk about style, and they would find the largest room no matter if they had a meeting or an office.

After looking around, Shen Xi quickly set his eyes on the door of a heavily guarded house, where guards and officers and soldiers were strictly guarded.

"Your Excellency, you can't go in!"

At this time, there is no Shen Xi in the city who does not know, yesterday the matter of "little heroes bombarding Tatar cavalry" has spread, seeing a young man wearing a five-grade official uniform coming in, anyone can guess Shen Xi's identity.

This time, there was no need for Shen Xi to speak, Yu Niang had already drawn out the sword, Shen Xi went over and took the sword, pointed to the guards and officers and soldiers who guarded the door and said, "Whoever stops, I will let him splash blood in five steps!" ”

These guards and officers and soldiers hurriedly retreated, Shen Xi just took the bright sword, strode into the room, and as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw that a military meeting seemed to be held inside, and a large area of black pressure was full of generals in armor.

Baoguo Gong Zhu Hui stood up from behind the handsome case and looked at Shen Xi who entered with his sword in surprise.

"Lord Shen, what are you doing?"

Zhu Hui didn't lose his temper with Shen Xi, because the idea in his heart was not to be angry with Shen Xi, he needed to coax Shen Xi now and let Shen Xi consciously give up the credit.

This is a fragrant dumpling who has just made great achievements on the battlefield, even if he doesn't save Liu Daxia and causes his entire army to be wiped out, maybe he can use Shen Xi's credit as a good reward to "offset the merits".

Shen Xi entered the venue angrily, no matter how many people there were, and shouted directly: "Liu Shangshu led the troops north and encountered a siege of Tatar soldiers and horses, why didn't he save it?" ”

Zhu Hui's face was not very good-looking, and there was a lot of evasion in his expression: "We are discussing." ”

"The situation is already obvious, is there still any need to discuss it? If it is not saved, Liu Shangshu's department will inevitably be annihilated by the Tatars, and the Tatars will be greatly boosted in the next step, and they will definitely join forces to attack Yulin. Since I can't save him when I see death, then who will come to save Yulin from the officers and soldiers of other towns? What if the city is lost? ”

Shen Xi was furious, and his thunderous voice could be heard in the entire hall, as if he was the most authoritative here.

There were many generals with higher grades than Shen Xi next to him, and they didn't dare to say anything at this time, watching the envoy sent by the imperial court ask Zhu Hui.

"You...... You are bold, dare to talk to your grandfather like this! ”

A eunuch with a male duck voice ran out and pointed at Shen Xi to reprimand.

Shen Xi knew that this was Sun Yi, the eunuch guarding Yansui Town, so he didn't even look at it and said, "Ben Qin sent to ask Baoguo Gong, and the idle people had to interject." ”

"You!" Sun Yi was angry from the heart.

As a town guard eunuch, I can't afford to offend, so it's just a matter of succumbing to him, what kind of thing are you, you dare to shout in front of our family!?

Zhu Hui hurriedly stopped the angry Sun Yi and persuaded him: "Lord Shen's temper is not very good, let's understand more." ”

"Yes, yes."

A group of generals next to him finally found a conversation and nodded again and again.

This little hero's temper is not very good, and the news of scolding Baoguo Gong when he entered the city yesterday spread. The generals couldn't help but think: "The emperor appointed the Qincha, just made a great contribution, he has the confidence to speak, after scolding the grandfather and scolding the eunuchs, even the grandfather is as temperamentless as his grandson, what can we do?" Just help the grandfather by his side, and make a gesture. ”

Sun Yi pointed at Shen Xi and said, "Grandpa didn't cure him for the crime of rudeness?" ”

Zhu Hui felt uncomfortable in his heart, how could this eunuch have to cause trouble for me, this little ancestor said something to let him say it, I would rather let him get out of here as soon as possible than be angry with him, and I also asked him to go back and show me merit in front of the emperor!

You offended him, you can't get good, and I don't do me any good.

Zhu Hui said: "Since Lord Shen is here, let's listen to the discussion together...... Lord Shen, please take a seat! ”

Shen Xi didn't expect Zhu Hui to be so polite to him.

Sure enough, if people are not ruthless, no one is afraid!

Since Zhu Hui and the others were discussing the rescue matter, Shen Xi was no longer angry, and walked over with a sword, he couldn't sit on the handsome chair, and the guards next to him specially added a chair for him, so that he could sit down, and those generals who were bigger than him had to stand and listen.

"Lord Shen, I don't know if you have any instructions?" Zhu Hui asked politely.

Shen Xi thought to himself, I'm not a big official, and I'm not a leader of soldiers, what kind of discipline should I do? But when he thought about it, Zhu Hui clearly regarded him as a messenger, no matter what he instructed, it was tantamount to speaking on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

"Nope. This official is here to hear when and how many troops will be sent. Shen Xi said coldly.

Zhu Hui didn't have much idea, but he was still hesitant at this time, looked up at the generals present and said, "What do you think?" ”

A general named Li Jun walked out and said: "Grandpa, Lord Shen, the last general thinks that it is the best policy to stick to the city now, if the troops to help fail to help, but to make Yansui Town lost, I am afraid that the Tatars will take the opportunity to go south and wreak havoc on the border, which will be even more harmful to our Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Hui didn't reply, and looked sideways at Shen Xi.

The meaning is obvious, what this General Li said is very much in line with his heart, and he wants to adopt his statement, but he must first ask Shen Xi's opinion.

Shen Xi stood up and pointed at General Li and said, "Now Yansui Town has not been lost, but are there fewer Tatars who have invaded my border and plundered the people?" ”

Shen Xi's words made the generals present look ashamed.

The Ming army is not all in ruins, there are still many generals who want to fight with the Tatars, but the meaning of the peak is that it can be delayed and avoided, and the result is that the Tatars have almost robbed the North Pass all over the time, the people have been displaced, and the border towns of Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, and Ningxia have been depressed.

It is reasonable to say that the city was lost, and the Tatars plundered it, but now that the cities are there, the Tatars are still so rampant, it is completely the fault of guarding the territory and avoiding the war.

"This Lord Shen, that sent soldiers and horses, the rescue failed...... Who will take the responsibility? ”

There is also a general named Yang Yu who is not used to listening to Shen Xi's tone, this person belongs to the centrists, he doesn't want to avoid the war but he doesn't want to attack easily, he must first sort out the responsibility before speaking, so as to be foolproof.

In fact, most of the war-avoidance factions are veterans, and those who want to fight are young generals who are eager to make meritorious contributions.

This is the status quo of the border pass, but because the veterans have deep qualifications and high positions, and the veterans have to be the ones who speak the top things, so now passive war avoidance has become the mainstream idea of the border pass.

Shen Xi sneered: "Then dare to ask, if Liu Shangshu's department has a bad pool, who can bear this terrible result?" ”

Looking ahead and looking backward is the consistent style of veterans, and if all responsibilities are divided before sending troops, then it is not a war, but a game of politics. The most terrible thing in the army is that the generals play politics, once there is more power and scheming, then there will be less care about things on the battlefield.

Zhu Hui said: "Lord Shen, don't worry, you see how this is, let's ...... first Wait and see how it changes, and explore the reality of the Tatars. This time we went back and forth for more than 100 miles, if we went, Liu Shangshu was already ...... Well, the soldiers and horses could not be withdrawn in time, but it was not advisable to let the Tatars take the opportunity to capture the town of Yansui. ”

Shen Xi sincerely cried out for Liu Daxia, look at the faces of these people after you set out on the expedition, you are fighting with the Tatars in front, and these people in the back are trying to shirk their responsibilities.

Can the fuck be a little bloody and responsible?

In the long run, it will be difficult for me to think about not dying!

"Troops must be sent immediately, no responsibility...... It's up to me to bear it, as long as the remaining army sticks to the city, even if reinforcements are sent, Yulin City will not deviate! ”

Shen Xi almost roared and let out a roar, as if he was the real commander here.
