Chapter 1080 Describe the Cause of Failure

"Go away! Go away!"

"Master, we have been running for a day. If we don't rest, we will be exhausted!"

Zu Chengxun's face was covered in blood and dust. He was extremely haggard and shouted immediately. His voice was already hoarse. His personal soldiers also grabbed him and shouted immediately. After the horse died, the big family could not even escape.

At least they grabbed the person, and the whole group of people arrived at a hidden place before they got off the horse and rested. Before some cavalry dismounted, their mounts neighed and collapsed directly on the ground, the horses were exhausted.

Zu Chengxun sat tangently on the ground. His personal soldiers were preparing to go around to collect some wild animals. Their home was just eating some tools with dry food. Zu Chengxun looked around and saw that there were at most two hundred people around him.

Most of the people who can run out are generals and guards who are well-skilled in Tiger Armor. Thinking about the fact that they had more than 5,000 cavalry when they entered the city, only 200 when they came out. How could they go back to see people? Thinking of this, Zu Chengxun felt sad from his heart and grinned and cried.

When he cried, his subordinates and guards around him wanted to come over to persuade him, but they were also sad and they all started to cry, with a very miserable pomp.

After crying, Zu Chengxun wiped his face with his hands, looked around and shouted:

"Don't be sad anymore. Come here, come here, we have to be right at the right time, otherwise we will encounter military law when we go back!"

…Zu Chengxun returned to the big Ming side of Yalu River. Before he could communicate with the big Ming officials stationed at the garrison, he sent his closest confidant to report to Liaoyang first. It should be that he would first report to the governor in Shenyang first, but Zu Chengxun ignored it and reported to Liaoyang slowly. The prophet would tell his own general Li family...

The Ming side on the Yalu River has become a town. The camps prepared for the army, the accumulated materials, and the merchants and laborers who come to the construction and organize are already filled with the side, including humble North Korean officials and North Korean civilian activities.

Several military generals in Jinyiwei's clothing and a middle-aged scholar wearing blue shirts walked towards a wooden house. The scholar was not arrogant or impatient in front of Jinyiwei. The sharp-eyed person could still see that the scholar was followed by several personal guards, looking like a governor model.

"Justice King just now sent someone to come. Can you not ask Zu Chengxun to station on the Korean side of the Yalu River? Don't retreat in such a hurry. I guess he didn't expect Zu to be so powerful and return the day before yesterday afternoon!"

A Jinyiwei Baihu said sarcastically there, and the scholar shook his head and said:

"The Fujun is a big man. If you ask about the situation of the war, then you will make a decision. If you throw it to the western Liaoning, you will be considered as giving General Li a face."

"There is no rush at this moment. Mr. Chai is exhausted all the way. Why not take a break first and then ask?"

"Business matters is important, thank you for your kindness!"

Both sides politely walked into this wooden house together. The wooden house was strictly guarded, with soldiers guarding outside, and there were many.

Hou Baihu and Mr. Chai were very polite to each other. As soon as they entered the wooden house, their faces became serious. Zu Chengxun, who was wearing civilians and sitting in the house with a depressed expression, saw them coming in, and stood up in panic. The following people saluted when they saw their superiors' attitude and said:

"I have seen two big men, Zu Chengxun is guilty!"

"There is no need for the ancestor to be so polite. The grade is above me. Isn't it a mess of the rules like this? Please sit down!"

After being like this by Mr. Chai, Zu Chengxun became even more frightened. He stood there and did not dare to sit down. He hurriedly said:

"Zu Chengxun, a defeated general, dared to be rampant in front of two big men. Just stand, just stand."

Hou Baihu, Jinyiwei, and Mr. Chai looked at each other and sat down. Mr. Chai said straight to the point:

"Zhu Da Ren, this time the student came, was commissioned by the governor Xu Da Ren, and asked Zu Da Ren why he failed and why he was so miserable. This Hou Baihu was here to listen. Xu Da Ren said that if there is anything, the army will fight, victory or defeat is common, and he is fighting with Japanese pirates in other countries. He must be magnanimous and will not be punished for serious crimes. However, don't hide it when you are."

With a "thump", Zu Chengxun knelt on the ground and said with gratitude:

"The Fujun is magnanimous and will be grateful to each other. If you can give me another chance, I will definitely be the battlefield of death!"

"Well, why did it be so badly defeated? What is the case with North Korea? What is the reality of the Japanese pirates? Even if it comes, if it is useful, it is unknown whether it has any achievements!"

The house had already prepared paper and pen, so Mr. Chai spread the paper open and prepared to record it.

"Two big men, North Korea has been asking us to go over and support, but the food, supplies and other things are not prepared completely. The last general's army went there. The food and grass supply was less than three days, and the rest was not completely restored. So they could only attack Pyongyang, hoping to find some supplies in the city to be inadequate, and prepare for bad luck and poor food and grass. This is one of the reasons for failure."

Although he was respectful and humble, he talked about the reasons for the failure, obviously he had a long history of writing. Then Hou Baihu didn't care about his face and said with a smile:

"I have heard from the capital for a long time. The generals in Liao Town may not be as good as the soldiers, but the skills of being officials are all first-class, and that's true!"

Zu Chengxun's face was a little hot, and he just didn't hear it. The hundred households of the Jinyiwei could also straighten their backs in front of a genital general on the premises, not to mention that he is still a defeated general now, but Mr. Chai listened very carefully. After recording, he nodded and said:

"I believe that the cause of failure is not just this one, so please continue to talk."

"The General of the Moon is the generals of the Ming Dynasty. They are a county state in North Korea. What qualifications do they have to command? But since they have been camping on the riverside, North Korea has been constantly urging the generals to send troops and point fingers at the command and command. Although the generals can understand it, it is inevitable that the soldiers below are confused. Such disagreements of power will cause the most likely to cause chaos in command. If the generals are not affiliated with them, it is also a cause of defeat."

Mr. Chai wrote quickly, but when he heard Zu Chengxun's words, he nodded. No matter what the real situation was, Zu Chengxun was reasonable and well-founded, and his thinking was quite clear. Mr. Chai raised his head and told Zu Chengxun to continue. Zu Chengxun had heard what Mr. Chai had said before, if he had made any statement, he might not be punished. Seeing Mr. Chai's attitude, he thought that the key to this "expression" was the description of the cause of defeat. He was now calm and thought about it again. He thought about these things at that time, but when he reached this state, he remembered more. After all, Zu Chengxun was also a military general, and he actually experienced this battle himself.

"After crossing the river, we went to Pyongyang, whether it was here or there, the Japanese pirates in Pyongyang City were only a few thousand. However, the last general led his army into Pyongyang City and fought fiercely with the enemy, but there were such a painful casualties. If the enemy had no superior military strength, how could he do this? We set up defenses in such a large city and chase them. It was not that the last general praised the Japanese pirates in the city, at least there were more than 10,000 Japanese pirates in the city. Another point was that before crossing the river, the last general had heard that Japanese pirates were less than 40,000 in North Korea, but from Pyongyang, we had seen traces of Japanese pirates along the way, which were far more than 40,000, and there were more than 100,000."

Zu Chengxun may not know the real number of people, but he was defeated and praised the number of enemies. This is a mistake.

"The two major men, North Korea may not be united with Daming. Although these people are so eager to ask for help here, there are 700 Korean soldiers who have followed the generals to enter Pyongyang, but many of them have collapsed halfway. After entering the city, the Japanese pirates started a war, and these Korean soldiers communicated with the enemy troops in the city and even attacked our army. This was unexpected in advance. Our army entered North Korea, but they had to rely on these Koreans to lead the way."

Hearing this, Hou Baihu and Mr. Chai both looked cautious, and Hou Baihu asked solemnly:

"My ancestors, this matter is very good. You dare to protect yourself. You can punish nonsense!"

"Please rest assured, the two of you. Zu is willing to protect the head. If you talk a little bit randomly, just cut it off."

Mr. Chai made a few strokes with a careful look, as if he had added markings and circled them, and then signaled Zu Chengxun to continue. After Zu Chengxun had so much, he really didn't know anything. After thinking about it for a long time, he spoke:

"Previously, Korean soldiers kept saying that Japanese pirates only had iron cannons and Japanese swords, and had no other weapons. However, this time they went to Pyongyang, they found that Japanese pirates had bows and arrows. The last general inspected the arrow branches and it was actually a regulation of Korean soldiers. Moreover, Japanese pirate soldiers were mainly used by snake spears, which was quite well-organized, but they were actually not iron cannon long swords."

After Mr. Chai finished recording these, he waited for a long time and kept silent. Knowing that the other party had nothing to say, he spoke in a deep voice:

"The Zu Daren should not go back to western Liaoning for now. The people garrisoned by the river will also be of great importance. The subsequent military will come. At that time, the Zu Daren and the Western Liaoning will meet. Before that, we will take our subordinates to General Sun to obey the orders and do some chores within our ability."

Zu Chengxun quickly stood up and bowed, but the other party made him feel much more at ease. If he was driven back to western Liaoning, it would be possible that western Liaoning would push him out as a scapegoat. Zu Chengxun even had the plan to escape halfway and go to the inner gate, but he felt peaceful and calm in his heart when the other party placed it.

Although Mr. Chai is the governor's aide, at some level, Mr. Chai can make the decision on behalf of the governor. Zu Chengxun was about to thank him, but the Hou Baihu next to him said calmly:

"Don't say these words to others just now. There are benefits but no harm. At this time, it's better to be more at ease, right?"

"What this big man is that Zu understands the severity of the interests and dares not ask for any benefits. He just wants to give Zu another chance to let the last general go to the battlefield to kill the enemy..."

“Have a chance.”

Mr. Chai said calmly and left with the hundred households. Zu Chengxun vaguely heard outside in the wooden house:
Chapter completed!
