Chen Xi asked in detail and finally figured out the situation.

Liu Daxia's military talent was quite high. After contacting the main Tatars, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He fought and retreated, and prepared to withdraw from Yulinwei. As a result, he was surrounded by the Tatars in the area north of Dingdangmiao River and was currently in an isolated and helpless situation.

Fifty miles seem to be not far away, but in this era, the road is difficult to move through marching and fighting. After leaving the Great Wall Pass, the way north is Honger Mountain and a river of the Zhasak moats that the Tatars have to walk for a day. If the baggage is transported, the marching speed will only be slower.

It takes about two days to go back and forth, and Zhu Hui is not very brave to take this risk.

If a cavalry is sent, the rescue speed will be much faster. But the biggest problem is that the number of cavalry in the border army of the Ming Dynasty is too small, and its combat effectiveness is far from that of the Tatar cavalry. Once a cavalry is sent head-on with the enemy, it is similar to death.

In fact, the effect of sending infantry is roughly the same.

Because the border army has not renewed its weapons for a long time, whether it is a strong crossbow, firearm or armor, there is a big gap between it and when it was founded. In addition, it is insufficient training. Once the two armies encounter head-on, the only result is a series of defeats. Over time, the Ming Dynasty's official army will lose the confidence and courage to win, and take defeat for granted.

Under the escort of Yu Niang and the handsome guards, Chen Xi arrived at the General Mansion of the North of the City. Before the people could enter, they were stopped by the soldiers at the door.

Chen Xi knew that if he acted too timidly, he would be nothing in Yulinwei.

"Go aside, I am the imperial envoy to see the Duke of Baoguo!" Chen Xi opened his eyes wide open, shouted loudly, and suppressed the soldiers on duty.

If it were ordinary young men, these soldiers would have driven away long ago...what? You don't want to leave? Showing your sword to see if you leave, it would be strange if you don't beat you to beg for your father and mother.

But who is the person in front of you?

I just fought with the Tatar cavalry yesterday, but I left nearly a thousand Tatars' corpses with less than half of the opponent's troops and made a great "instruction envoy".

If the emperor dares to stop the people appointed by the emperor, it is because he is tired of living!

"Sir, don't make things difficult for us who are guarding the gate. We are also on orders!"

These guards also have the same mentality as the guards. They felt that both sides could take their own lives, so they had to beg for coaxing them, hoping that the imperial envoy would leave by themselves.

Chen Xi sneered: "You can't afford to bear the loss of Yansui Town! If you stop it, you will kill them!"

As he said that, Chen Xi waved his hand and Yu Niang pulled out the sword.

There were only three people on Chen Xi and the handsome guards, and there were twenty or thirty soldiers guarding the gate, but none of them dared to stop him.

Chen Xi successfully entered the General's Mansion.

"Where is Duke Bao?" Chen Xi entered the General's Mansion, surrounded by houses. He had no idea where Zhu Hui was, so he immediately shouted loudly.

Yu Niang quickly reminded: "Mr. Shen, we are unfamiliar, so you should be polite."

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

Yu Niang couldn't say anything now, but the fact is that Chen Xi was just a toll sent by the Ministry of War to deliver cannons. If this identity is exposed, let alone the Duke of the National Guard, even the soldiers who were looking at the gate of the General's Mansion would not take Chen Xi seriously. What you want now is this arrogant arrogance. If you are not cruel, others will not treat you as a dish.

Chen Xi strode forward. Although he didn't know where Baoguo Duke was, he looked for the most conspicuous house. He thought that people like Zhu Hui would look for the biggest house no matter they had a meeting or work.

After searching around, Chen Xi quickly turned his eyes to a heavily guarded house door, where guards and officers and soldiers were guarding them.

"Sir, you can't go in!"

At this moment, there is no Chen Xi who I don’t know in the city. Yesterday, the story of “Little Hero’s bombardment of the Tatar Cavalry” has spread. When a young man dressed in a fifth-rank official uniform came in, anyone could guess Chen Xi’s identity.

This time, without having to speak, Yu Niang had already drawn out her sword. Chen Xi went over and took the sword, pointed to the guards and soldiers at the door and said, "Whoever stops me, I will let him splatter blood on five steps!"

These guards and officers and soldiers quickly retreated, and Chen Xi took the bright sword and stepped into the room. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw that there seemed to be a military meeting inside, and a large area of ​​military generals dressed in armor were black.

Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui stood up from the scene of the commander and looked at Chen Xi in surprise with his sword in his arms.

"What is Lord Shen doing?"

Zhu Hui did not lose his temper with Chen Xi because his thoughts were not to be angry with Chen Xi. He now needs to coax Chen Xi and let Chen Xi consciously give up the credit.

This is a hot commodity that has just made great contributions on the battlefield. Even if Liu Daxia is not saved, it will be wiped out by his entire army, and he may be able to use Chen Xi's contribution as a good news to "repay the merits and demerits."

Chen Xi rushed into the venue angrily. No matter how many people there were, he shouted directly: "Shangshu Liu led his troops north and was besieged by Tatar soldiers. Why not save him?"

Zhu Hui's face was not very good-looking, and he looked very evasive: "It's being discussed."

"The situation is already very obvious, is there still a need to discuss it? If you don't save it, Liu Shangshu's troops will inevitably be annihilated by the Tatars. The next step is that the Tatars are very angry and will join forces to attack Yulin. Since we are not saved, who will come to save Yulin? What should we do if the city is in trouble at that time?"

Chen Xi was furious, and he could be heard in the entire hall, as if he was the most authoritative here.

There were many military generals next to him with higher ranks than Chenxi, and they didn't dare to say anything at this time. They watched the envoy sent by the court shouting about Zhu Hui.

"You...you are bold and dare to talk to your husband like this!"

A duck-voiced eunuch ran out and pointed at Chen Xi and scolded him.

Chen Xi knew that this was Sun Yi, the eunuch in Yansui Town. He didn't even look at it and said, "If I asked the Duke Bao, please stop interrupting if the idle people wait."

"You!" Sun Yi's anger arose from his heart.

As the eunuch in charge, I can’t afford to be guilty of my grandfather, so it’s fine if I surrender to him. What kind of thing do you really dare to shout in front of our house!?

Zhu Hui quickly stopped Sun Yi, who was furious and persuaded him: "Mr. Shen has a bad temper, so let's understand it more."

“Yes yes.”

A group of generals next to him finally found the conversation and nodded repeatedly.

This little hero has a bad temper. When he entered the city yesterday, he scolded Baoguo Duke and spread. The generals couldn't help but think: "The emperor appointed an imperial envoy, just made great contributions, and he had the confidence to speak. After scolding the prince, scolding the eunuch, even the prince had no temper like his grandson. What can we do to show off? Just make a gesture by the prince."

Sun Yi pointed at Chen Xi and said, "Don't punish him for being rude?"

Zhu Hui felt so uncomfortable. Why did this eunuch insist on causing trouble for me? This little ancestor said something and let him say it. I would rather let him get out as soon as possible than to be angry with him. I also asked him to go back and perform his merits in front of the emperor!

If you offend him, you can't lose it, and I won't be able to do so.

Zhu Hui said: "Since Lord Shen is here, let's listen to the discussion together... Lord Shen asks you to sit down!"

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

It turns out that if a person is not cruel, no one will be afraid!

Since Zhu Hui and others were discussing the rescue matter, Chen Xi no longer got angry and walked over with a sword. He could not sit on the handsome chair. The guards next to him added a chair for him, so that he could sit down, while the generals with higher officials than him would stand and listen.

"Mr. Shen, I wonder if you have any instructions?" Zhu Hui asked politely.

Chen Xi thought to himself, I am not a big official, and I am not a soldier. What kind of teaching should I do? But once I thought, Zhu Hui clearly regarded him as an imperial envoy. No matter what he taught, it was equivalent to speaking on behalf of the emperor.

"No. I just come to hear when and how many troops will be sent," Chen Xi said coldly.

Zhu Hui had no idea at all, and hesitated at this time. He looked up at the military generals present and said, "What do you think?"

A gang general named Li Jun walked out and said, "Mr. Shen, the last general thought that it is the best way to defend the city now. If the troops fail to send troops to aid, it will lead to the fall of Yansui Town. I am afraid that the Tatars will take the opportunity to go south and rage the border, which will cause even more harm to our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Hui did not reply and looked at Chen Xi.

The meaning is very obvious. What this General Li Chan said is very consistent with his wishes. He wants to adopt his statement, but he must first ask Chen Xi’s opinion.

Chen Xi stood up and pointed at General Li Gan and said, "Yansui Town has not been lost now, but are there fewer Tatars invading me and plundering the people on the border?"

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

The Ming army was not all cowardly, and there were still many generals who tried their best to compete with the Tatars, but the meaning of going up to the top was to drag them down and avoid them when they could. As a result, the Tatars almost robbed Beiguan and the people were displaced. Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, Ningxia and other border towns were in a depressed state.

It is reasonable to say that the city was lost and the Tatars robbed the people in large numbers, but now the cities are all there, and the Tatars are still so rampant, it is a complete mistake of guarding the leaders to avoid war.

"Mr. Shen, if you send troops and horses, you won't be able to rescue them... Who will take responsibility?"

Another general named Yang Yu couldn't stand Chen Xi's tone. This person belonged to the centrist and did not want to avoid the war but did not want to attack easily. He had to clarify the responsibilities first before talking about them so that he could be foolproof.

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

This is the current situation of the border, but because the veterans are experienced and have high positions, they have to be the ones who speak in a good way, so passive avoidance of war has become the mainstream idea of ​​borders.

Chen Xi sneered: "Why would you like, if there is any mistake in Liu Shangshu's army, who can bear this terrible result?"

Looking ahead and looking back is the usual style of a veteran. If you send troops to divide all responsibilities first, it is not about fighting, but about politics. The most terrifying thing in the army is that generals play politics. Once there are too many power and tricks, there will be fewer things on the battlefield.

Zhu Hui said: "Mr. Shen, don't be anxious. Look at this, let's first... just watch the changes and explore the reality of the Tatars' soldiers and horses. This time, more than 100 miles away, if we go, the Liu Shangshu's army has already...well, the soldiers and horses cannot be withdrawn in time, but let the Tatars take the opportunity to capture Yansui Town, which is really undesirable."

Chen Xi was really complaining about Liu Daxia. Look at the faces of these people after you went to war. You fought with the Tatars in front, while the people behind were trying to shirk responsibility.

Can he be a little bloody and responsible?

If this continues, it will be difficult for me to perish in the Ming Dynasty!

"We must send troops immediately, and any responsibility... I will bear. As long as the troops left behind defend the city, even if reinforcements are sent, Yulin City will not be deviated!"

Chen Xi almost roared and roared, as if the real commander here was him.
