Chapter 1057: East Becomes West (50)
Meng Tian glanced at Zhongli and said lightly: "Just know it in your heart, now is not the time to clean him up. Besides, it's a two-sided matter."
"Flee from the battle, abandon the main general, my general has not produced such a general for so many years!" Zhongli said coldly: "Meng Tian, you are leading an old soldier, and you actually excuse him?"
Meng Tian smiled: "Now is not the time. But when the rain does this kind of thing, the heart must be very panicked, suspicious and suspicious, and the slightest wind and grass may cause a catastrophe. Where is he now, in Shannan County, if we move him now, what if he doesn't do anything, he doesn't stop, he runs away with the cavalry or surrenders? Then Shannan County is over, if Shannan County is lost again, Helanxiong can go straight to Jiuyuan, now we have enough troops to defend Jiuyuan? So Shannan County is now an iron gate, guarding our backyard, but at this stage, not only can not be held accountable, but also rewarded, rewarding him for bringing back five thousand cavalry and keeping Qin soldiers alive. When the overall situation is stable, transfer him back and calmly find another excuse to clean him up."
Zhongli was silent for a long time and nodded, "You're right. But when I think about it, I get tired of it."
"You're on the Black Ice Terrace, what dirty things haven't you done, what is this?" Meng Tian smiled coldly and said. But Yu Lin's escape is indeed a crime that deserves death, but he is also a good cavalry general, and now that our Great Qin generals have lost Yan zhòng, like him, he should use his talents first, and then punish his crimes."
Zhongli waved his hand, "But we don't need to talk about the rain anymore, after we go back, let's see what the king does with him!" Meng Tian, since you have decided to leave with me, then prepare early, Lu Chao will come over to hand you over in three days."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Meng Tian said.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that the king can't wait long!" Zhongli's face darkened.
The two were silent for a moment, Meng Tian filled the wine glass, raised it high above his head, saluted in the direction of Xianyang, and drank it all with a tilt of his neck, "Although I don't fall in love with the king, and the king has never really trusted me in his life, this does not prevent me from admiring him as the wisest monarch of Great Qin for so many years."
Staring at Zhongli, Meng Tian continued: "Although I have a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart, but for the sake of Daqin, I am willing to accept his arrangement, return to Xianyang, whether it is life or death, it will be decided by the king's words, on the occasion of the great Qin national disaster, I will not let our Daqin have any more internal problems, Zhongli, you can rest assured, my subordinates will not make trouble, I will let them accept this arrangement."
Listening to Meng Tian's words, Zhongli stood up and threw Meng Tian to the ground.
Anlu, the important town of Yuyang, Lu Chao looked at the more than a dozen generals standing under the tent, his face was grim, just a day ago, he received a military intelligence report from Xianyang and a new appointment, the news of Li Xin's defeat shocked him, and the destruction of the 100,000 army meant that the Qin State would turn from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and his army, which was deep in the Han realm, must retreat.
Since entering the Han Realm, along the way, he has been like a bamboo, beating Zeng Xianyi on the opposite side backwards again and again, and now in the entire Yuyang, only Yuyang City is still in Zeng Xianyi's hands, if it weren't for the two infantry corps of the Han Army's Youth Guard Corps to arrive, maybe Yuyang City is also his now.
"Retreat? Why retreat?" Gou Yi shouted: "General, since General Li has failed on this road on the grassland, we should move forward bravely and achieve greater results to make up for the losses on the grassland. It was not easy for us to take Yuyang, how could we give it to people so lightly!"
"Yes, General, there are only thirty or forty thousand Han troops in front of us, drum up and take Yuyang City in one fell swoop, to comfort General Li's spirit in the sky!" The generals in the tent echoed the hook. Under the good form, at least on their battlefield, the form is extremely beneficial to them.
Lu Chao had a calm face and glanced at everyone, "Bai Qi, you can talk about it!"
Bai Qi stepped forward and said, "The last general thinks that the general's decision to retreat is correct, now is the best time for us to retreat, if we miss this opportunity, we may pay a greater price if we retreat in the future."
Lu Chao raised his face slightly: "What do you say about this?"
"General, we are now in Yuyang, it is true that we have an advantage in form, but in fact this is not the case, Lu Liangshan is blocking our way into the river, and we can't take Yuyang City, we can't threaten Tianhe County, and more importantly, now we don't have the strength to threaten Tianhe County, but we have to guard against where the enemy is coming from. Now we are deep into the enemy's territory, and behind us, it is difficult to say whether Zhao is an enemy or a friend, Zhao Qi was originally a capricious character, now he is embattled in the country, and the forces hostile to us in Zhao are not small, in case Zhao Qi is forced by these people to turn his face with us, we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, and it will be uncomfortable at that time, we must take advantage of the fact that the people of Zhao have not reacted now, and quickly withdraw the army, at least, we must control Zhao and get compensation from Zhao Guo."
Lu Chao nodded, "Gouyi, did you hear that?" What Bai Qi said is the right reason, the benefits of getting the hands are the benefits, and the benefits of exchanging the unknown benefits for the benefits that can be easily obtained, no one will do this kind of thing. In the next retreat, you and the unified armies of Bai Qi retreated back to each other, retreating all the way across the Yishui River and directly attacking the Zhao State. Open a passage to Shanggu, Daijun, and Hedong for me, and connect these places together, and if General Li fails in the grassland, then we will include these places in Zhao State into the territory of my Great Qin."
"Yes!" Bai Qi and Gou Yi hugged their fists together to receive their lives.
"Before leaving, I destroyed everything that could be destroyed in Yuyang County, the houses, burned, the city walls, and demolished, especially the mines in Anlu, all of them were destroyed and sealed for me." Lu Chao stood up: "Isn't Gao Yuan very profitable?" I'd like to see what you can do to fill the void this time."
"That man, do you want to kill?" Bai Qi said in a low voice.
After staring at Bai Qi for a long time, Lu Chao suddenly laughed: "Bai Qi, you slipped your hand in killing Zhao Ren in Changping, right?" These Yuyang people, of course, can't be killed, all of them are left for me, these people want to eat, live, and live, these big burdens are left to Gao Yuan, doesn't he love the people like a son, doesn't he hide his wealth from the people? Okay, let's give him a headache this time!"
Listening to Lu Chao's murderous words, all the generals in the tent laughed. This time they entered Yuyang and grabbed a lot of money, as Lu Chao said, the people of Han are indeed very rich, but now these riches are theirs.
"General, Bai Qi and I are in charge of the army, are you going to leave early?" Gou Yi stepped forward and asked.
"I have received an edict from the king, ordering me to rush to the Great Liang of Wei immediately, where to take over the position of General Meng Tian." Lu Chao stood up.
There was silence in the house first, and after a short silence, there was a burst of cheers, Lu Chao took over Meng Tian, which means that Lu Chao's position will take another step, the tide rises, Lu Chao rises, and they, the generals who have been following Lu Chao, will naturally go up.
Looking at the cheering generals, Lu Chao's face was very unhappy, he had a news, and he didn't say it to all the generals, that is, King Qin Wulie was about to die.
The Pillar of Heaven is about to fall, and recalling Meng Tian is nothing more than preparing for what is behind him, but how can he tell these people? They don't necessarily have a composure.
"Let's do it!" Lu Chao stood up, "Don't procrastinate."
In Yuyang City, Du Shenghao waved his fist and roared at Yang Dasha, Yang Dasha's face was full of muscles, and the scars kept beating, looking extremely hideous and terrifying, and on the other side, Zeng Xian sat in the corner without saying a word, Guan Bo, the commander of the Second Army of the Young Guards, stood between Du Shenghao and Yang Dasha, for fear that Yang Dasha would have an impulse and knock down the skinny Yuyang county guard with one punch.
Now in Yuyang County, the political affairs are headed by Du Shenghao, but the military is respected by Yang Dasha, and all military actions must be counted by Yang Dasha's nod.
In the past two days, the smoke in Yuyang County has been everywhere, the Qin army has been raging everywhere, looting, arson, according to the scouts sent out, Yuyang has basically been robbed all around, one village after another has been burned, one town after another has been razed, the people have nowhere to live, no food.
"If you are an official and do not be the master of the people, and if you are a soldier and do not fight for the country, what use do you want?" Du Shenghao roared, his thin arms fluttered, and his fingers almost poked Yang Dasha's nose, "Wave after wave of intelligence shows that the Qin army is retreating, this is their last madness, they are harming the people, harming the people of my Han Dynasty, but you ordered the armies not to go out of the city to fight, pursue, what do you want to do?" I'm going to go to you."
Yang Dasha had a calm face, he knew very well who the enemy was opposite him, this was an opponent that even the king attached great importance to, the Han army general Naba died in the hands of this person, except for Feng Fayong, this is the highest-level general of the Han army who has died over the years, and he and Lu Chao's army have also fought outside the Mashaping Gorge, although he won this battle, but the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is the most tenacious army that Yang Dasha has encountered over the years.
In the face of such an opponent, how dare Yang Dasha be careless. Although he is called Dasha, he is not really stupid. If there is no trap waiting for him behind Lu Chao's last madness, then he is not Lu Chao.
"Are you done scolding?" He looked at Du Shenghao, who was panting.
"It's still far away, if you don't send troops for a day, I will scold you for a day, eating the food provided by the people of Yuyang County in vain, but hiding in the city and not daring to fight the enemy. You're wearing a human skin in vain." Du Shenghao snorted.
"Okay, since you're tired, let's rest for a while before scolding." Yang Dasha had a cold face, and turned his head to look at Guan Bo and Zeng Xianyi: "Without my order, not a single soldier is allowed to leave Yuyang County."
Fifty miles away from Yuyang County, Lu Chao looked at another wave of sentry scouts rushing in.
"Is there still no movement in Yuyang County?"
"Back to the general, no! Not a single soldier has ever left the city." The Sentinel shouted.
Lu Chao couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, "It is said that Yang Dasha is irritable and impulsive, it seems that it is just the appearance, this person is much more difficult to deal with than outsiders think, but unfortunately, I wanted to clean them up when I left, but I didn't think that this guy would be fooled. Forget it, notify Bai Qi, Gouyi, retreat!" (To be continued......)
