Chapter 1360: The Return of the Hero
"Smack......
Kublai Khan slammed the letterhead on the table with a pale face, he never thought that his father, no, he should be called his father emperor now, actually asked him to open the encirclement and let Huo go sick and return to the Han Dynasty.
Kublai Khan did not have any personal grudges with Huo Quzhi, but it was this period of fighting that fully made him realize the horror of Huo Quzhi.
Such a truly genius-type cavalry commander, if he can't take this opportunity to kill him, he will definitely become Yuan Meng's henchman in the future.
Of course, Kublai Khan knew his father's hardships for towing mines, but he did not think that the Great Han, or rather the Qin army, still had the spare strength to supply 60,000 cavalry out of the fortress.
In Kublai Khan's view, the Battle of Hetao not only drained Yuan Meng, but also wiped out the Qin army's heritage.
At this time, the grain and grass that the Qin army had, not to mention the supply of 60,000 elite cavalry, that is, 60,000 infantry, I am afraid it is enough to choke!
The reason why the Han army put on a posture of wanting to go out of the fortress again was just to force Yuan Meng to submit at the negotiation table, so as to surrender the troops without a fight, so as to obtain greater benefits.
In Kublai Khan's view, Yuanmeng at this time must not show any cowardice, otherwise the Qin army will definitely have to advance inch by inch, and only with a tough attitude can peace be exchanged, and Huo Quai's army out of the fortress is a big bargaining chip in negotiations with the Qin army.
Kublai Khan's guess was not wrong at all, the Qin army was not comfortable after the Battle of Hetao, and now the entire Hetao is in ruins, and it is simply unable to send troops to attack Yuanmeng.
In addition, if the Qin army really sent troops, it would be equivalent to helping the Manchus, and the Manchus were also the sworn enemies of the Han people, so it was impossible for the Qin army to send troops and put on such an aggressive posture, just to force Yuan Meng to submit to the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity
Kublai Khan knew these truths, and the tow mine naturally knew it, but the location of the tow mine was different from Kublai Khan, and all the angles of considering the problem were also different.
Tuo Lei understands these truths, but he doesn't dare to bet.
In the previous battle of gambling countries, Temujin had already lost the bet, and if he lost the bet now, then Yuanmeng would really be hopeless, so he didn't dare to bet at all.
In addition, the fiasco of the Battle of Hetao also made the fear of the Qin army in Yuan and Mongolia reach the highest level in history, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are afraid of Qin like a tiger.
Now, most of the people in the entire Yuanmeng Kingdom are reluctant to start a war with the Qin army, even if there is the slightest possibility of war, so even if Tuo Lei wants to gamble, the people below will not agree.
"Alas, my Dayuan is really ill-fated." Kublai Khan couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, Yuanmeng can be said to have a good hand, but because of carelessness, a good hand of cards was played to a mess.
Now that the Manchu army is coming, Yuanmeng is not afraid of the Qing, but afraid of Qin, and before the war, he must negotiate peace with Qin.
The conditions of the Qin army's peace negotiation, Kublai Khan also seemed to be, in addition to being too much or too much, in the end, no matter how far the negotiations went, it would be an unbearable burden for the extremely weak Yuan Meng.
Suddenly, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, it's not good, Huo Bing has led the army to break through again." ”
This is the third breakthrough of Huo Qubing after Kublai Khan took charge of the encirclement and suppression mission.
In the previous two breakthroughs, although Kublai Khan did not stop Huo Quai, under his command, the army suffered more than half of the casualties again, and now I am afraid that there are less than 1,000 people.
"Your Highness, the last general will lead the troops to chase after you." Meng Lik said that he was implanted with the identity of Meng Libai and Meng Liyuan's brother who died in the Hetao battle, so he hated the Han people extremely much.
"Your Highness, the Han generals are ferocious, and the last generals will go together." Yuan Xin clenched his fists and asked.
Kublai Khan put his hands behind his back, walked to the door of the big tent, looked up at the sky, and was silent for a long time.
Seeing this, all the generals showed doubts in their eyes, and after a long time, Kublai Khan spoke: "There is no need to chase, Your Majesty has an order to let the Han army go back to show the sincerity of the peace talks to the Han army." ”
"What?"
"How so?"
"Then what's the point of us being tired and tired, fighting so many battles, and dying so many people?"
"Yes, since you want to put it, it's better not to chase it in the first place."
As soon as Kublai Khan's words came out, the generals in the hall immediately became excited, as if they thought they had been deceived.
In order to leave Huo Quai's 5,000 remnants alive and capture Huo Quai, Yuanmeng paid at least 8,000 casualties.
Now that Huo Qubing was finally beaten, there were only 1,000 people left, but Longcheng suddenly said that he would let Huo Qubing leave, how could these rebellious Yuanmeng generals accept it?
"It's an order."
Kublai Khan said in a deep voice, the cold light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and none of the generals in the hall dared to look at him.
"Humph......"
After Kublai Khan snorted coldly, he ordered in a deep voice: "Withdraw the troops and return to Dragon City." ”
"No."
————————
"General Huo, Yuanmeng doesn't seem to have caught up." The dragon said in a deep voice.
Huo Quzhi took out the clairvoyant mirror, looked at the direction of the Yuanmeng army, and saw that there was no smoke and dust, so he immediately said: "Although I don't know why Kublai Khan didn't pursue, it should have been the lord's side to put pressure on Yuanmeng through negotiations." ”
Long He showed a sudden look, and Ran Min on the side said: "Kublai Khan, this person is bold and careful, he will not chase for the time being, and he will not regret it if he does not bring a watch, we should call this opportunity to escape directly from Mobei and return to Hetao." ”
"Hmm."
Huo Quzhi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The whole army listened to the order and retreated to the Hetao at full speed. ”
"No."
In the battle of Hetao, it is said that the most difficult troops to fight were not Bai Qi to save Yinshan City, nor Zhuge Liang to break the north pass of Zhenbei, but from time to time Qin Hao defeated Temujin, but to make the lone army kill into the Huo Qu Disease Department in Mobei.
After the battle of Longcheng, before dividing the troops with Zhuge Liang, Huo Qubing still had 21,000 elite horsemen under his command.
And when he entered Mobei, Huo Qubing slaughtered three tribes in a row to attract Murong Ke to lead the army to chase, and then first fought against Murong Ke, then against Tuolei, and finally encountered Kublai Khan.
Huo Quzhi's trip to Mobei can be said to have experienced countless fierce battles, each of which was extremely dangerous and tragic, and even he himself was rescued twice, once by Xiang Yu and once by Ran Min, and the troops under his command were only less than a thousand remnants.
Of the 21,000 troops who went north, only 1,000 people were left alive, so you can imagine how difficult Huo Quai's trip to Mobei was.
Now the army is finally about to return to the Hetao, and although Kublai Khan is no longer chasing, there are still Yuanmeng tribes along the way who have not received the order to tow mines.
Huo Quai's army slaughtered many Yuanmeng tribes, and seeing that there were only more than 1,000 remnants left in the Chusai army, these tribes naturally wanted to take revenge, and they all discharged their clansmen to carry out various sieges.
Huo Qu's return journey is still full of twists and turns and dangers.
