Ming Empire

Chapter 126
"What? The rogues went and turned back, coming towards Datong?" Hearing the news from Cao Yue, Sun Chuanting's expression changed.

The army of 10,000+ slaves has put pressure on Datong's military preparations.Whether they can repel Jiannu's attack, no one knows.There will be another 10,000+ bandits, nearly 30 enemies, and the Datong Army only has more than [-] people. Don't expect reinforcements. How can this battle be fought?
"The rogues must have known the news that Jiannu poured all their power into attacking Datong, so they want to come back to get a share of the pie, and even reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Cao Yue said with anger on his face, and said bitterly: "I knew In this way, I regret that I treated them kindly!"

Sun Chuanting didn't understand the meaning of Cao Yue's words, but he followed Cao Yue's meaning and said: "Jiannu wants to destroy my Ming Dynasty, and the rogue bandits also want to destroy my Ming Dynasty. They are all enemies of Ming Dynasty. Just wipe them all out!"

"Hey, if my Datong army has enough firearms, if there are enough muskets and gunpowder to use, then tens of thousands of people will not be afraid to attack the city!" When talking about this, Cao Yue thought of later generations Automatic rifles, infantry artillery, armored vehicles, etc. equipped in the army at that time.

If there is a battalion of mechanized troops and sufficient logistical support, he is confident that he will be able to clean up all the slaves and rogues.It's a pity that everything can only be a dream, unless he travels to Daming with his mechanized battalion.

"Don't worry too much, you fought the battle like this, whether it's building slaves or rogues trying to break Datong, it's not so easy!" Sun Chuanting patted Cao Yue's shoulder with a smile, and praised: "I really didn't expect that you would You are a military prodigy, whether you are a slave or a bandit, you have lost miserably. This time the old man really witnessed a miracle, I believe you will continue to create miracles in the future!"

"I hope so!" Cao Yue also stretched out his hand and patted Sun Chuanting's shoulder, then suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked: "Hey, old man Sun, you promised me, tell me all the reasons for your coming to Datong this time, Can we talk now?"

"Not yet," Sun Chuanting smiled mysteriously at Cao Yue with a smug look, "I'll tell you when this battle is over. If we lose this battle, there's no need to say it. If you win, we will Let me tell you about it in detail.”

"Well, let's wait until the danger of Datong is resolved." After Cao Yue thought about it, he also felt that what Sun Chuanting said made sense, but he reminded him, "But you must not break your promise, or I will shoot you down up!"

While speaking, Cao Yue also took out the short gun presented by Konstantin, and gestured towards Sun Chuanting's head.But Sun Chuanting didn't take it seriously at all, saying that he would go back and get some sleep first, so he wouldn't disturb Cao Yue's rest.After finishing speaking, he patted his ass and left without giving Cao Yue a chance to stay.

Of course Cao Yue won't keep this guy to stay here, he has a lot of things to do.

At night, after finishing all arrangements, Cao Yue dragged his exhausted body back to his Xingyuan.But he didn't feel sleepy at all, lying on the couch with all his clothes on, thinking about something with his head on his pillow.

When thinking of Liu Zongmin and Li Yan leading the army back, Cao Yue suddenly thought of the red lady who had not been seen for the past few days. After a shock, he immediately got up from the bed, greeted the guards waiting outside, and ran away with him a trip.

The guards thought that Cao Yue was going to patrol the city, so they assembled immediately to prepare.

But after Cao Yue left Xingyuan, he didn't go to the top of the city, but went to a small courtyard nearby.

That small courtyard is exactly where Cao Yue arranged for the red lady.

After the guard came forward and knocked on the door, it took a while before someone agreed. After asking about the situation, the door finally opened, revealing Xiaoyun's beautiful little head.

"General Cao, my wife has already fallen asleep, can you come back tomorrow if you have anything to do?" Xiaoyun said in a low voice.

"I have something very urgent to ask your wife, go in and report!" Cao Yue ignored Xiao Yun's refusal, pushed the door open and walked in.Xiaoyun had no choice but to let Cao Yue wait in the living room, and she went in to report.

One of Cao Yue's personal soldiers stayed outside, while the other followed him into the courtyard and waited for orders in the courtyard.

After a while, the red lady came out with Xiaoyun, and there was another maid Ruyi with her.

The red lady should really be asleep, as can be seen from her makeup.

"General Cao, are you in a hurry to find my servant so late?" The red lady looked at Cao Yue suspiciously and asked puzzledly.

Cao Yue looked at Hong Niangzi, then at Xiaoyun and Ruyi, "Of course, I have something very important to ask you, let's find a quiet place to talk, I have something to ask you!"

"Come with me!" said the red lady, then turned and left.Cao Yue followed immediately.

In fact, there are not many rooms in this small courtyard. In the end, Hong Niangzi led Cao Yue to the room where she lived.

Cao Yue didn't care about these, and after following the red lady into the room, he closed the door directly.

"General Cao, congratulations on your great victory today. I admire you very much. Facing the elite of Jiannu, you can achieve such a record." The charming red lady with long hair casually smiled at Cao Yue He smiled and said, "I know the general is busy these days, so I didn't come to bother you! But I don't know why the general came to find my family today!"

"Tell me the real reason why you stay in Datong!" Cao Yue was not complacent because of Hong Niangzi's sincere praise. He asked Hong Niangzi seriously: "I know that you stay in Datong for a special purpose. Do you want to investigate the situation? Or are you planning to respond internally when he leads the army to attack Datong again? I hope you will not lie to me, even if you have such a purpose, I will not embarrass you!"

The red lady's face changed after hearing this. She was a little guilty at first, because she stayed in Datong with an excuse, just to find out how Cao Yue won several wars.But she didn't want to be the internal response when Li Yan led the army to attack back. She also believed that Li Yan would not attack Datong again, so she replied a little angrily: "What is General Cao's intention?"

"Li Yan has led the army back, and Liu Zongmin's army has also changed its direction and continued to come to Datong. It looks like it is encircling Datong with Jiannu and annihilating our Datong army," Cao Yue said sarcastically: "The red girl You won't pretend you don't know about it, will you?"

After hearing this, the red lady changed her face again, and quickly explained: "General Cao, no, Mr. Li Yan will never do such a thing of taking advantage of others. He hates Jiannu very much, and Jiannu If he really leads the army back, it may be due to pressure from Liu Zongmin, or he may have received an order from King Chuang, or he may want to fight Jian Nu..."

If Li Yan really led the army back, Hong Niangzi thinks that the most likely reason is Liu Zongmin or Li Zicheng's order.Of course she wouldn't believe that Li Yan and Liu Zongmin were going to fight Jiannu. The rebel army's current strategy is to let Jiannu and the official army fight to the detriment of both sides!
"Li Yan is going to reap the benefits of being a fisherman. I believe you understand this too. Whether he does it on his own will or on orders," Cao Yue approached the red lady with a cruel smile and said word by word. : "Since Li Yan wants to be a fisherman, isn't everything you, a fisherman, do for the sake of the fisherman? Also, how do you think I should treat you, a fisherman?"
