Chapter 638 Negotiations Restart
Ling Weijun and the Black Flag Army cooperated to destroy tens of thousands of Qin troops.
But there were also fish that slipped through the net, but the two armies did not chase and kill, so it was of little practical significance.
Xue Gao escaped under the desperate cover of his own soldiers, and after crossing the river and not finding the pursuing soldiers, he gathered the personnel and counted them, there were only less than 3,000 people, and tens of thousands of people were left, and the ending could be described as extremely miserable.
And a third of these three thousand men were commanders, and the generals above them and their personal guards.
"General Xue, what should we do?"
The leader of the pioneer in front of the tens of thousands of escorted supplies was Xue Gao, who was almost wiped out by an ambush, and his face was desperate at this moment.
The generals have no idea at the moment, so they will take him as the backbone.
"What to do?,Ah,,,,
What else can I do, Xue Gao doesn't know what to do, tens of thousands of people are gone, this sin is too big, and the head is not protected.
"General Xue, let's, that, hehe, go home. β
A general whose rank was slightly lower than Xue Gao suggested that he dare to speak out because he had a good relationship with Xue Gao, which is also the hope of most of the Qin soldiers on this expedition.
"Brother, alas, if you go home like this, not only will your head be ruined, but you will also affect your family, have you ever thought about it? β
Xue Gao said bitterly.
The fate of the deserters was extremely miserable, and they were executed lightly and their bodies hanged in order to pay respect. In the worst case, a battalion (a squad of soldiers is called a battalion) and three clans of deserters.
"γγ?"
The crowd was in a state of panic.
If they want to turn back and go to Cheng Kai, it is impossible to see the situation, there are tens of thousands of Xia troops in the middle, and the materials transported have been burned, they have a responsibility that they can't shirk, so they don't dare to see Cheng Kai.
"Let's go to Dong'an City, General Xueγγγγ β
The person who made this suggestion did not say it explicitly, but pointed in the direction of Niubi Mountain.
"You mean to let me take the lead and lead the soldiers and horses of Dong'an City to take Beibi City?"
This suggestion made Xue Gao's heart moved, even if they were lucky enough to escape, but the blame was hard to escape, so they were panicked, but if they made meritorious service, then they might redeem their merits.
So everyone thought of a way to come up with this idea.
"Yes, General Xue, only by taking such a risk can we have any hope of clearing our name. β
"Although I am a general, I don't have the token of a general, but I can't mobilize them?"
Although the idea was good, if he wanted to take away the soldiers and horses gathered in Dong'an City, Xue Gao knew that it was impossible.
"General Xue, you are the commander of the vanguard army, and General Cheng has given you some privileges, heheγγγ"
The one who had a good relationship with Xue Gao said with a sneer.
"That's right. β
Everyone was stunned.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts, what privileges they have, just talking, but now everyone is supporting him, so if the soldiers of Dong'an City can't see Cheng Kai again, they can only believe in Xue Gao.
After all, the Qin State governed the army very strictly, and no one dared to fake military orders, perhaps because of the special situation, Cheng Kai only gave Xue Gao a password.
More than 3,000 people sorted out the military appearance, came to Dong'an City at noon, and then smoothly mobilized 60,000 soldiers and horses here, ransacked Dong'an City and abandoned the city.
Of course, what happened in Dong'an City, Cheng Kai hasn't gotten the letter yet.
Li Hui was killed in battle, and the material was burned, which hit him too hard.
Then he was attacked by the Xia army and the two Soviet armies, he led people to break through to the northwest, and was ambushed by Ye Chenghai and Zuo Xuan on the way, and finally broke through with more than 10,000 people, which was the result of Ye Chenghai and Zuo Xuan's deliberate release of water.
The plan wasn't to wipe them out.
When Cheng Kai arrived at Dong'an City in embarrassment, he found that it was an empty city.
The people in Dong'an City were looted by the Qin army, and they only starved to death, most of them left, and only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled could not leave, so Cheng Kai entered Dong'an City, only to see the dying old, weak, sick and disabled, but he didn't even find a grain of food.
I couldn't ask why, and then I had to leave Dong'an City hungry and head north.
If you don't go, you can't go, Su Jie led someone to catch up behind.
The Lord's Mansion of Jiawang City.
"Ling Wei's army will retreat, and let General Zuo bring people to Eastern Liao City and Duhua City for reinforcements. β
Liu Yong sat in the first place, and he thought about it to everyone.
"It's okay, the war has reached this point, and we have completed the task, General, I suggest that in addition to the first part of the Northern Army temporarily stationed in Jiawang City to wait for General Song's triumph, the Ling Wei Army and most of the naval army should be ready to withdraw. β
Liu Ke suggested.
"Well, I will contact Your Majesty first to ask for advice, and then Ling Weijun's task is to send a small number of people to sweep around the fish and rebels who have slipped through the net, and before leaving, I will help Su Shanguo once, and the navy will wait for the Qin army to reach the Niubi Mountains, and then withdraw by itself, oh, by the way, leave some troop carriers to carry the Black Flag Army back to the Maoshan base. β
Two days later, Zhang Xian's decree arrived, Ling Weijun withdrew to Jiangnan by land to recuperate, the Northern Army was temporarily stationed in Jiawang City to wait for the next order, and the Black Flag Army was stationed at the Maoshan base, which was regarded as the base camp of the Black Flag Army, and Zhang Xian did not plan to let the Black Flag Army return to China.
Because he planned to take part of the Black Flag Army to Jianye City in the spring, and the Black Flag Army was a strange army stationed outside.
Ling Wei's army began to withdraw, and the northern army stayed, because Song Xin had not returned, and the purpose of leaving the northern army was also for negotiations.
If Ling Weijun did not withdraw, the king of Sushan State could not sleep.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Shunyi City, the stalled negotiations resumed.
Cheng Kai's defeat in Sushan completely made the Qin negotiators lose their temper.
The negotiations resumed, and this time the representative of Balingguo learned to be obedient, no longer jumping up and down, and took the lead to speak.
It was the representative of the Suri State who was the first to come forward.
They stiffened their waists and demanded that the remnants of the Qin army completely withdraw from Sushan and Suli.
This request brought the negotiations to a standstill.
"We can't contact General Cheng right now, and we can't reply to your request. β
The representative of the Qin State shrugged his hands and shrugged.
"There is nothing to talk about without withdrawing troops. β
The representatives of the Suri and Sushan countries left the table.
Since it is an alliance, the representatives of the Suri and the Sushan are gone, and the negotiations cannot be carried out.
Wang Yan watched coldly and did not speak.
The negotiations broke up unhappily.
In the evening of the same day, Wang Yan informed the representative of Su Liguo.
"By my lord's order, our country has begun to completely withdraw its troops from the Sushan State. β
"This, Lord Wang, why didn't you negotiate it beforehand?"
The face of the representative of Su Li changed his face.
"Alas, this is also a helpless thing, nearly 200,000 troops a day's military expenses and grain and grass are also a large amount, long-distance transportation costs are huge, and we are also difficult to maintain, so we have to do so. β
Wang Yan expressed embarrassment, but the representative of Suli Guo could also hear that this was dissatisfied with Suli and Sushan, and that they sent people to help them, but they did not give them money and grain support, and they brought their own grain and grass.
But now the remnants of the Qin army have occupied the northern city, and from time to time they come out to loot, but the two Soviet armies are not good, and now they are all relying on the northern army and part of the Black Flag army and the navy army, but the Xia State wants to withdraw its troopsγγγ
