Of course Xie Yu heard about this.
He nodded and said: "Based on the date, the team should be arriving in Datong soon, right?"
Yu Hua nodded: "I have arrived a few days ago. But I heard... this trip is not going too smoothly! His Majesty appointed Na Wang Zhen as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and there are more than a hundred civil and military officials accompanying him!"
"But besides flattery, what else can Wang Zhen do? Just the marching baggage cannot be arranged clearly! After the army set off, it encountered continuous rain! It didn't stop for several days! Rumors spread among the army, They say this is a sign of defeat! Kuang Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Mengfu, Minister of Household Affairs, wrote to Your Majesty, saying that the morale of the army is unstable. The troops should be withdrawn at this time..."
"In the end, Wang Zhen actually made the two ministers kneel outside the camp all night! Really... Hey! This is unheard of! How can such a ragtag group of people have morale? A few days later, the supply of supplies was not available, and there were unexpectedly... A food shortage started! Then Wang Zhen turned a blind eye and still let the army continue on its way!"
"In the end, one of the soldiers couldn't bear the hunger anymore and started to rob the people along the way! With such military discipline, Wang Zhen still ignored him. Those weak soldiers were too hungry to walk and were left in the middle of the road..."
"When we arrived in Datong, of the 200,000-strong army, only 170,000 were left! The two ministers were so angry that they almost died!"
Xie Yu, who was listening next to him, was also silent.
He knew that the Emperor of the Yong Dynasty was outrageous, but he didn't expect that this mascot could be so outrageous!
Do you expect a guy like this to lead troops to victory? Unless there are a bunch of pigs on the other side!
"To put it bluntly, the army led by His Majesty is probably going to be defeated this time! If this is the result, have you ever thought about how we will be affected?"
It turns out that my father-in-law was worried about this.
Xie Yu pondered for a while and then said: "I have thought about this matter. There are two possibilities. It depends on whether the Nawala people have the ambition to dominate the Central Plains! If so, they will fight all the way eastward and occupy They captured the capital. Using the capital as a base, they slowly marched southward! Finally, they followed their ancestors and regained the world!"
"There is another possibility. They clearly understood the situation and only looted. After grabbing the benefits, they went back. If that was the case, then there was a high probability that they would not cross the Yellow River! Because after crossing the Yellow River, it would not be so easy to go back! Therefore, the most severely affected area is Shanxi Road..."
Yu Hua nodded: "That's what I'm worried about! So I'm going to discuss with you and take Wenjun, Xiaonan and your people to go south together."
"To the south?" Xie Yu frowned slightly, "Father-in-law, are you planning to move?"
"It's not really a move. In the early years, in order to establish a relationship with my cousin Yu Qian, I bought houses in Kaocheng and Qiantang. This time I moved south, I thought I was going to live in my old house for a while. "
Xie Yu understood the real purpose of Yu Hua calling him here.
It seems that Yu Hua has made up his mind to move. The reason why I haven't left until now is that I don't want to leave my daughter.
"Actually, there is no need for my father-in-law to go south. If you are worried about the Wala people, just take them directly up the mountain in two days. My Baishi Village..."
Before Xie Yu could finish his words, Yu Hua waved his hand to interrupt: "Forget it about going up the mountain. I'm used to enjoying happiness, but I still can't live that kind of hard life."
Hard times?
Xie Yu really doesn’t think so.
Now the food on the mountain may not be full of meat, but the nutrition is definitely not bad!
As for defense... dozens of smoothbore cannons are placed there. Even if the Walas really come over, they will not be hell-bent on fighting against Baishi Village!
Judging from the current defense level of Baishi Village, there are only three to five thousand people, so there is no need to think about capturing it.
Of course, Yu Hua has Yu Hua's considerations.
My father-in-law is unwilling to go up the mountain, so Xie Yu can't force him to go, right?
Now Xie Yu and Yu Hua both have their own considerations.
Yu Hua felt that the world was in chaos, and Xie Yu's Baishi Village was like a boat in the ocean, in danger of capsizing at any time.
Xie Yu firstly had confidence in the defensive ability of the village, and secondly, he was unwilling to leave these five or six hundred people behind easily and follow Yu Hua to the south.
After all, Baishi Village is already Xie Yu's "foundation".
The forces of the bandits on Yingzhou Road have also been unified by Xie Yu, and everything is developing in a good direction.
In the end, neither the father-in-law nor the son-in-law convinced the other.
However, considering that Yu Hua planned to move, Xie Yu did not let Yu Hua share the money.
"You should take the money first. If you really plan to go south, there must be more places to spend money. Anyway, Baishi Village is not short of money during this period."
Yu Hua nodded, not being polite to his son-in-law.
After Yu Wenjun heard about his father's plan, he hesitated for a long time. Of course she didn't want to be separated from Xie Yu.
Fortunately, Yu Hua said the matter was not urgent.
Let Yu Wenjun think about it slowly.
If Yu Wenjun really doesn't want to go with him, then he can stay on the mountain.
Yu Wenjun understood that his father couldn't bear to leave him.
She has never been separated from her father since she was a child. Perhaps the only reason for his father to stay is to have a child.
With this idea in mind, Yu Wenjun pestered Xie Yu every night after returning to the mountain.
Bai Xiaonan seemed to know what Yu Wenjun was thinking, so during this period, she was not jealous because of this matter.
Xie Yu's days were filled with pain and happiness.
Yu Wenjun may seem to be frail, but he is also an endurance athlete in bed!
After setting the goal of having a child, her fighting power and potential were also forced out! Xie Yu wouldn't think of a truce unless he was tortured for two hours every night.
Coupled with Bai Xiaonan's emotions, he also needs to be comforted occasionally...
Xie Yu's legs are as soft as noodles every day.
In addition to dealing with the two girls, Xie Yu also frequently contacted Yamashita during this time.
He always paid attention to the war in the north.
Half a month later, news of the army's defeat finally came.
People on the streets in Shanxi are in panic!
Within a few days, bandits came from the north. These bandits were basically defeated Dayong generals.
It is said that these people fled all the way back to Datong from the north. After entering Datong, these soldiers and generals were waiting for the Datong soldiers to be recruited.
But Luo Yongchen, the prefect of Datong, has no time to care about these nonsense. What he is thinking about now is how to defend Datong! Don't let those Wala people take the opportunity to cover up and kill you!
Therefore, he directly asked these soldiers and generals who had fled to find their own way back to the capital.
As soon as this order was issued, these soldiers and generals started to make a fuss.
Because Wang Zhen, the eunuch, was incompetent, everyone went from the capital to Datong, all hungry and full!
Now that the army is defeated, you don't say you will recruit everyone and give them a good meal, but you can still say such irresponsible nonsense?
Find a way to return to the capital by yourself?
They came out to fight and didn't have a penny on them. How could they go back? Are you counting on running on two legs?
In the end, these people almost overturned Datong Mansion!
In a panic, Luo Yongshi arranged for Datong Guards to suppress these remaining defeated generals!
These people finally understand: they have been abandoned!
In this case, let's each make a living!
So they left Datong Mansion and headed south or east! Grab whatever you have! From a soldier to a bandit, it only happened in a blink of an eye.
Xie Yu has not contacted his father-in-law these days.
So when he heard the news, he was afraid that these bandits would affect Yingzhou City. In the end, he took dozens of people down the mountain directly, preparing to go to Yingzhou to take care of them.
Unexpectedly, before arriving at Yingzhou City, I saw two groups of people fighting outside the city!
One wave has almost been killed.
Xie Yu didn't want to take care of this trivial matter, but when one person saw Xie Yu, he suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Brother Yu, save me!"
