Chapter 222: So far

The so-called soldiers and horses went first before moving the grain and grass, Xie Yan returned as a military general, and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so he is very aware of the importance of materials for warfare.

However, Mrs. Xie's manuscript records that after the Xie family and the 100,000 Jingyu army set out on the expedition, the officials in charge of the supply of grain, grass, weapons and medicine all "had to" be temporarily replaced due to various matters.

This is a taboo on the march, and it is important to know that many supplies will be problematic if they are replaced in such a situation.

But it was "had to" be replaced, so that even if it was taboo, there was no way, and it is rumored that this was the first time that Emperor Mingde was angry in the court since he ascended the throne.

He ordered all parties to make sure that the problem was kept to a minimum.

When Xie Yangui saw this, he sneered again.

Because she clearly knew that this was an excellent opportunity for those officials in the court who were jealous of the Xie family.

Don't look at Emperor Mingde getting angry, but in fact, such an opportunity was sent to those ministers.

In the past, those officials were always waiting for an opportunity in the court to say something unfavorable to the Xie family, and this time they have an opportunity, they will definitely make good use of it.

Those people don't even need to make a big move, as long as a little deliberate neglect of all the required official documents is enough to have a great impact.

And such a thing cannot be faulted.

Xie Yangui has been the chief general of Liaobei since she was fourteen years old, and she has experienced such a thing.

Since she couldn't make people find fault, she simply went straight to the door and beat people up when she returned to Kyoto, for which many courtiers played a trick on her, saying that she had made a living.

But she does have merit, and Emperor Mingde has always favored her in front of everyone, so this matter will eventually be over.

After such a beating, those people no longer dared to make these small movements behind their backs.

It's a pity that the rest of the Xie family doesn't have such a chance again.

It is mentioned in the manuscript that those officials did not dare to make it too obvious, because Emperor Mingde, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was quite protective of the Xie family.

Just like all these years, he treated Xie Yangui in front of everyone.

Every time, after he defended Xie Yangui and helped her speak, more people would be dissatisfied with her.

The same was true of the Xie family at that time.

Not only the people in the court, but even the people in the other military camps all have opinions about the Xie family.

At that time, Dajing had only been established for more than ten years, and although it was gradually stable, the treasury was empty, which led to the untimely payment of military salaries in other armies, and the soldiers in various places were often hungry and full.

I don't know where the soldiers in the army heard that the salary of the Jingyu Army has never been delayed, and the soldiers of the Jingyu Army can not only eat and clothe, but even have meat to eat.

More and more people have a grudge against Jing Yujun and the Xie family.

But how did they know that the reason why Jing Yujun was able to eat meat was all because the Xie family used their own money to buy piglets and raise them, so they had meat.

In the Xie family, from the head of the family to the wife of the head of the family to their son, almost all of the savings of these people were subsidized to the soldiers.

They tried their best to keep the soldiers fed and clothed, and used meat to boost their morale, so that they could show their best when they went to the battlefield against the enemy.

They didn't eat much of the meat they had ever eaten from killing pigs.

Such a thing is impossible for any master general.

Under the conspiracy, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.

The Xie family and the Jingyu army in northern Liaobei had to face hundreds of thousands of Liao troops.

However, their supplies of food and grass were insufficient, their weapons were insufficient, and their medicines were also in short supply, and even the troops who should have come to their aid were nowhere to be seen.

They are in a desperate situation.

If at that time, the Xie family and the Jingyu army chose to retreat, go to the checkpoint behind Liaobei, and join the soldiers in the checkpoint, they could completely block the Liao army from continuing to attack.

But in this way, the people of Liaobei will die under the iron hooves of the enemy, and Liaobei, which belongs to Dajing, will become the land of the enemy

If you are a bystander, you may be willing to leave a reputation for eternity, and you also want to save your life.

But whether it is the Xie family or the Jing Yu army, they all have their own backbones, they guard Liaobei, that is, they protect their families, so no matter what, they will not retreat!

At this point, there are some more annotations in the manuscript, indicating who were the people who deliberately obstructed the delivery of food, grass, weapons and medicines.

The family crests of the Feng family and the Li family were preserved in this way.

Xie Yangui frowned suddenly, because after this page, the font on the manuscript had changed, and it was no longer like a ghost drawing, but neat.

There is a line of small print at the bottom: Senior sister wrote a letter, entrusted to rush to the border pass in northern Liao, and recorded it on her behalf until the end of the war.

The senior sister instructed her to store the manuscript and the collected physical evidence in a box and entrust it to the master for safekeeping.

Start with this page.

Xie Yangui's gaze returned to the top of this page, the depression in her heart condensed again, and the fishy sweet breath in her throat became heavier.

After reading the manuscript, she clearly knew that this was the beginning of the war, so the mother, who had already foreseen everything, could only use this method to preserve everything in the midst of irretrievable despair.

The rest of the story is recorded in the manuscript like this.

Without support, lack of food, grass, weapons and medicine, the Xie family and their four sons trapped tens of thousands of enemy troops.

In order to prevent the enemy from breaking the city, the Xie family and Jing Yu's army only carried a few rations, leaving the rest of the food for the people in the city, and went out of the city to meet the enemy in a broken boat.

I stood behind the city wall and engraved this scene in my mind, I saw the Jing Yu army fall one after another, and I saw the Xie family's Sheng Shi Kangan fall but stood up.

I heard the sound of swords colliding outside the city, and I heard the movement of weapons stabbing in/into/body.

The battle lasted several days and nights.

The bravery of the Jingyu army frightened the courage of the Liao people, and the remnants of the Liao people fled at the dawn of a new day.

Outside the city fell silent, and people came to the city wall one after another, looking down.

When the morning sun was rising, the corpses were strewn all over the city, and the Xie couple were standing in front of the moat outside the city with each other's support, looking into the distance.

The Liao army retreated, and the people cheered, beating gongs and drums to open the city gates, wanting to welcome the Xie family and the Jing Yu army back to the city-

I followed the crowd to the senior sister and Xie Jiajun, and their blood-stained faces had relieved smiles, and they had been dead for a long time.

Among the mountain-like corpses, the people found the four sons of the senior sister, none of them intact, and they still held weapons in their hands.

100,000 Jingyu troops, the soul returned to Liaobei.

I listened to the howling and crying of the people, and I also shed tears, and worked with them to collect the bodies of my senior sister's family and Jing Yujun.

The army came to the rescue.

In the third year of Mingde, I took my sister's handwritten book and I later recorded it back to the mountain, so far, there is no Jingyu Army in the world.
