Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 249 Fishing success!

This time, they wiped out the cavalry of Fangdang and Yeci, but the damage to Qiying Camp was also heavy. A full 20% of the soldiers needed a long time to recuperate. Su Yun wanted to restore new combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so he had to start expanding the camp.

This was his plan.

Hehe, fishing was successful.

None of the knowledge I learned back then was wasted, including the fishing tips. This trick is specifically used to catch black carp.

Yes, nearly nine hundred people were attracted at once!

Through this expansion, we can gradually select available soldiers and make the team stronger.

Now that we have 500 core cavalrymen, we can use fighting as training. Under the leadership of these veterans, we can naturally bring out more useful soldiers.

Su Yun sorted out the list sent by Zheng Nian'an. There were more than 300 cavalrymen and more than 500 infantrymen. The cavalrymen were directly incorporated into the Qiying camp. After training together for a few days, they were taken out again.

As for the more than 500 infantrymen, they were handed over to the veterans of the Qiying Camp who were slightly injured but able to move freely for training.

Su Yun left Wang Shunchen and Qi Ying to train the new recruits, and took the rest away.

This time, Qi Ying's camp was strong in men and horses, with a total of 800 cavalrymen.

Before leaving, Wang Shunchen found Su Yun and said, "Leave the training to Qi Ying. I will go with you. I can help you with my presence."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will go out to fight piecemeal, and I won't fight the Tanguts head-on. Besides, I have 800 cavalry now, so I am not afraid of ordinary people."

Wang Shunchen felt helpless when he heard this, but he also knew that he had to be present to take charge of the training. Qi Ying was okay with ordinary training, but apart from Su Yun, he was the only one who could teach ideological classes at night.

Su Yun led his troops and set out at night. The newly added cavalry might be a little night blind, but as they followed the main group, it was not a big problem.

The day after Su Yun left, a dusty team arrived in Funing City.

The person who came was Zhen Shixuan.

He set out from Bian Jing and rushed to Yanzhou, but heard that Su Yun was in Suide Army, so he rushed to Suide Army, but found nothing in Suide Army either. He heard that Su Yun was in Funing City, so he hurried to Funing City again.

When Zheng Nian'an heard that an imperial envoy had arrived, he hurriedly opened the door to welcome him. After realizing that he had come with a letter of appointment and that Su Yun would be promoted to the position of governor of Fuyan Road, he was completely stunned.

A Lu Jinglüe envoy who is less than twenty years old?
Oh, no, the thing that should be surprising is not this, but that General Su led 800 soldiers out of the fortress to fight guerrilla warfare!
Zhen Shixuan was also stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Su Yun had fought a guerrilla war and should be resting in the city now.

Zhen Shixuan quickly asked for the details, and Zheng Nian'an also quickly explained them.

Zhen Shixuan planned to stay and wait for Su Yun to come back.

However, he was not idle. Instead, he went to comfort the soldiers who stayed behind to rest and read out the rewards to them. The rewards from the court this time were quite generous, which excited the people of Funing City.

Zhen Shixuan used the excuse of comforting the soldiers to talk with them, asking about the progress of the battle, and then recording it one by one. Naturally, he would bring these back to Bian Jing as evidence of Su Yun's achievements.

Zhen Shixuan listened to the soldiers' stories. Reading from paper is different from hearing it with one's own ears. Zhen Shixuan was so excited by the soldiers' description that he even had the illusion that he wanted to fight the Tanguts together. Then Zhen Shixuan found Wang Shunchen and Qi Ying and asked about Su Yun's goal this time.

Wang Shunchen said: "This time, Su Jinglie's target is the Xixia army that is escorting the people of the Song Dynasty. The Xixia army has broken through hundreds of fortresses and captured tens of thousands of people. Su Jinglie wants to rescue them!"

Zhen Shixuan was shocked when he heard this and said, "To escort tens of thousands of people, there must be thousands of Xixia troops? You want the Su family to fight against thousands of Xixia troops with only 800 soldiers, and in the wild?"

Wang Shunchen was also worried and said, "This trip is indeed very dangerous. Firstly, the enemy is strong and is led by the famous Tangut general Fei Tingsheng.

Oh, you may not have heard of Zhen Zhonggui, but the generals of the Western Army should have heard of this name quite a lot. Although this man is not well-known in Song territory, he is indeed a general who is good at fighting.

Fei Tingsheng was a noble son of a prominent Dangxiang family. He knew Chinese and had read many military books since childhood. Therefore, he was quite methodical in leading troops in battle, and the troops he led were also brave and good at fighting.

Therefore, this trip is much more dangerous than the previous two trips.”

Upon hearing this, Zhen Shixuan said anxiously, "If it's so dangerous, then why do you still want to go? I'm not saying that tens of thousands of people are not important, but now the Su family is responsible for the safety of the entire Fuyan Road, and they can't risk their lives. Is it too late to chase them now?"

Wang Shunchen shook his head and said, "We have already set out for a day. We should have bypassed the Xixia front line and reached the back of the Xixia people!"

Zhen Shixuan was stunned when he heard this: "Still deep behind enemy lines, this, this, this..."

Wang Shunchen said solemnly: "This is also a last resort. The people captured by the Xixia people naturally have to be sent to the rear. If we want to rescue them, we naturally have to fight behind enemy lines."

Zhen Shixuan only felt his hands and feet going numb.

It's not that Zhen Shixuan was a coward, but rather that he was very clear-headed. He knew very well how powerful the Dangxiang people were, and how dangerous it was to go deep behind enemy lines. Once caught by the Dangxiang people, even if Su Yun had 800 cavalrymen, it would be like delivering food!

In the defeat of Yongle City, the Western Army had gathered several elite troops to defend the city, but 200,000 soldiers and civilians were massacred by the Dangxiang people. Su Yun only had 800 soldiers and horses, which were not enough to fill the teeth of the Dangxiang people!
If Zhen Shixuan put himself in the situation, he could only feel despair. With only 800 soldiers and horses, he had to go behind the enemy lines to face thousands of Xixia troops. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was courting death.

Moreover, if anything happens in the rear, the Western Xia army only needs to pay attention to the movements in the rear and they can immediately block Su Yun's way back. By then, there will be no way for him to survive!

Zhen Shixuan glared at Wang Shunchen and said, "Why didn't you stop him? This is clearly a dead end! Mr. Su is young, are you also young?"

Wang Shunchen smiled bitterly and said, "I can't stop this!"

Zhen Shixuan snorted and stopped talking. He was very familiar with Su Yun and naturally knew that Su Yun had some big ideas.

Zhen Shixuan felt somewhat helpless. He came here this time, firstly to announce the imperial reward, and secondly to be entrusted by the government to find Su Yun to ask some questions. But now Su Yun was not here, and he could not go back to report like this.

What can we do now that it is like this?

So Zhen Shixuan stayed. Wang Shunchen suggested that Zhen Shixuan go back to Yanzhou and wait, or go back to Suide City, as those two places were safer. However, Zhen Shixuan was determined to stay in Funing City, saying that he wanted to see Su Yun as soon as possible.

ps: It’s a bit short, but there’s nothing I can do. I originally wanted to write more, but the baby woke up and her mother is still in the hospital.
