Sulu finally did not pursue the withdrawn Tule soldiers.
After more than a dozen bloody battles, there are less than 3000 guards left in Guancheng. If you want to pursue Tule, you must leave at least 2000 guards to defend the city, just a thousand guards. Su Lu doesn't think he can take one as ten.
Su Lu could only watch the Tule army withdraw.
Five days later, Su Lu was lying in the sun at the head of the city. The city guard woke him up: "governor, reinforcements are coming."
Reinforcements coming?
Su Lu lifted his blanket and looked at the bright guards under the city. He couldn't help spitting angrily: "it's really slow."
Looking at the same unhappy guard at the head of the city, Su Lu ordered and said, "all shout. If the rescuers are not happy, they shout."
There was a feeble cry at the head of the city.
"The help finally came!"
"Here you are, dear mother!"
When the city gate opened, Su Lu stood on the ground, facing the guard governor who came with a horse, looking unhappy.
Zhang Lu came on horseback and saluted Su Lu with a fist in his chest and a respectful voice:
"I've seen Governor Su. Zhang is late. I hope to make atonement."
Su Lu asked Zhang Lu, "tens of thousands of troops were forced to attack the city that day. You are not enough to save them."
Zhang Lu smiled:
"Governor Shaoye is responsible for unifying the army. There are three armies with 15000 people in the headquarters. In the front line of Zhengqu, governor Shaoye and I have divided troops. Governor Shaoye unifies the army to chase the Tule people. I come to replace the governor and guard the Yumen."
No matter how Su Lu shook his face, Zhang Lu was smiling. Without him, he was too slow to make a decision and came too late.
If we make a decision early and send troops five days early, we can block most of Tule under the jade gate. With the cooperation of the invincible Soviet Route Army, we can certainly wipe out the guard army.
This is the camp's shame to Su Lu.
Sulu was angry enough, turned around and said:
"Li Kun, send orders to leave camp and prepare to return to the army. By the way, ask those women and children if they want to stay in Yumen or return to Beiyang with us. Take all those who want to return to Beiyang."
Li Kun answered.
Su Ping grabbed Li Kun, lowered his voice and said:
"The female medical officer named song Xiaocao must be taken away. She can save lives at a critical time."
Li Kun nodded and turned away. He also had people to take away. Xiaomi's mother and daughter must take them away.
Half an hour later, the guards were assembled and ready to go. Su Lu exchanged official credentials with Zhang Lu and led the army to set out.
On the March, when passing Zhengqu, Li Xiaoqin stood beside Zhengqu, looked at Lintao mountain in the distance, silently recited Liangzhou words, and then ran up to Su Lu with envy:
"Governor, if you go to the eight hutongs and don't need money, you must be regarded as a guest of honor. The girls of all families must run after you."
Su Lu looked unhappy: "governor Li, that's all you can do. You know how to eat overlord food and soak overlord girls. Your son is also handed down from his family."
Li Xiaoqin's face was red, but he argued: "different, different. Governor, this time you have done great work. Maybe you will be promoted to Beijing."
Speaking of the reward, Su Lu pinched his chin and asked Li Xiaoqin with a proud face: "Lao Li, according to your judgment, how much reward can we get this time?"
Li Xiaoqin pondered slightly: "my responsibility for causing the mutiny of the Ding army must be gone."
Su Ping, Li Kun and Zhao pangzi, who came to listen to the reward, slapped Li Xiaoqin's pocket railings and shouted.
"Stop fighting. I said I said that the governor must have made the greatest contribution this time. He led the army over Lintao, recaptured Yumen, guarded the city for 15 days and blocked the return of Tule army."
"If governor Shaoye can arrive before Tule breaks the arch and moves to the pass and block the great attached scholars of Tule, the credit will be second only to the governor."
Su Lu was happy when he heard the speech: "the problem is that he didn't do well."
According to the experience of dozens of fights, Su Lu knows something about the leader of general Tule. He is as cunning as a fox. If something can't be done, he will withdraw immediately. This time, in the face of Gongqian pass, all the troops must be pressed. Shaoye, who is five days late, can't keep up.
Li Xiaoqin was stunned when he heard the speech, and his face was slightly surprised:
"In this case, he Shaoye will have made no contribution. He will allow the Tule army to break the Gongqian pass and escape the heavy responsibility of returning to the grassland. The camp will certainly not bear it, so he can only bear it."
Su Lu thought deeply when he heard the speech. In the front line of Beiyang, the selection of Enshang came from Xuanfu. There was no one in his court. If he really got into trouble with people in the sky in the future, his life would be over.
Just like Shao ye, although the war has not been fought, the end has been doomed.
Disobeying the military order and anticipating more than one, the Gongqian pass was broken, and the Beizheng army was seriously killed and injured, which was his responsibility.
It is conceivable that there are still many stigmas that will fall on him. If one day he loses the war, I am afraid it will fall to today's world.
You have to find a way to transfer out!
Su Lu thought of his own way and frowned. He wanted to go from Beiyang. He had to find a way to offend people when he went back.
After a few days of marching, Su Lu led his army to Beiyang camp and handed over his job.
When Su Lu returned to his house, he saw that the original dilapidated house had been renovated, and the original narrow gate had become a spacious gatehouse, carved beams and painted buildings, which was very elegant.
This is the reward given by Jiedu mansion.
Entering the inner courtyard, a burst of silver bell like laughter came out of the hall, and Li Qing's voice came out of the hall:
"Your brother has made great contributions this time. Although he failed to complete his service, your brother's merit can not be erased. I have written to my father to show your brother's merit."
Su Yun's voice was pleasant: "sister Qing, don't ask. I really don't know if it was written by my brother. You know, I don't understand poetry. I haven't seen him write these at home."
Er Niu said sweetly, "it must have been written by an adult."
Li Qing and Su Yun were surprised and asked, "do you know?"
Er Niu said weakly, "only adults in Beiyang can write poetry very well."
Su Yun and Li Qing laughed at the same time. At this time, Su Lu entered the hall and saw Li Qing with a low voice.
"Princess, Su Lu has something to ask."
Li Qing's pretty face flashed a trace of surprise, but he still said in a straight face, "you say, I'll help you if I can do it."
Su Lu saluted Li Qing with a fist in his chest:
"The princess knew that Su Yun and I were born in Hewan village. Our village was burned by Tule soldiers to do white land. Later, I investigated that the marching route of Tule soldiers should point directly to Nanguan camp. In the process of passing through Nanguan camp, only two villages were slaughtered."
"In the two villages that were slaughtered, some people had hatred against Jiang Changfu, a guerrilla general in the Dongtang camp, and someone witnessed Jiang Changfu's participation in the slaughtering of the village."
Su Lu's boxing salute posture remained unchanged and his voice was firm:
"Princess, I have made great achievements this time, not to mention anything else. It's just this gold medal of great Fu Shi and winning the Yangguan pass. Although it's not splashing, it's not small.
I am willing to use this meritorious service in exchange for the court's thorough investigation of the guerrilla general Jiang Changfu, the Dongtang camp, and the high-level officials of the Xuanfu Jiedu mansion. "
Li Qing's face changed instantly, the blush on his cheeks disappeared, and his voice became unnatural:
"The spies in Dongtang camp have been thoroughly investigated. Why, there are still spies who have not been found?"
Su Lu said decisively, "that's why I said that we should thoroughly investigate the top level of the Xuanfu mansion. Who shielded it? It must be the spy Jiang Changfu, the commander of Dongtang camp, or the senior official of Jiedu mansion."
Li Qing's face turned white and his voice was hoarse:
"You have to think about it. In this war, your job will certainly be promoted to the governor level or even the promotion level of Jiedu government, and the medal will at least be general Dingyuan. Are you really willing to exchange for this thorough investigation?"
"Jiang Changfu is sheltered. The thorough investigation of the imperial court will not necessarily produce results. Jiang Changfu's backer may be in the Xuanfu house or in the imperial court."
Inward?
Su Lu was stunned.
