Chapter 1069: It's hard to escape the blame
If it weren't for the guidance of someone with a heart, alas, Xuanlou, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see the fifth brother. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What!?" Rao is Li Luo is so temperamental, he can't help but be taken aback.
It is really unbelievable that Muguisai would surrender to Mongolia.
If Mu Guisai had the heart to join the enemy, he did it many years ago, why wait until now, and it was after reuniting with Su Niang.
Li Luo was speechless, at this time he understood the intention of Xiang Liu'er's belated sentence, it turned out that all this had already been expected by Xiang Liu'er, Prince Chun and his entourage could pass through the immediate pass and return to Jianbei City without danger, but I was afraid that Xiang Liu'er did it easily, and he didn't have much intention to take the lives of these people.
On that day, the Dagan envoy hurriedly left Xiutong City, and then there were cavalry pursuits of the Mongol and Caohai tribes, which was extremely fast.
When Prince Chun and his entourage entered the Lima Pass, the Mongolian Iron Cavalry also came outside the pass, not in a hurry or impatient. Prince Chun originally wanted to take advantage of the immediate Guan Tianwei and the elite of the Dragon Elephant Battalion to block the enemy's southward movement, and at the worst he could leave a few months for the Dingbei Army to deploy troops. No one thought that Mu Guisai had already surrendered to Mongolia, if it weren't for someone in the camp to report the news, I am afraid that Prince Chun's head would be a congratulatory gift for Mu Guisai to open the door to meet the enemy. It's just that although Prince Chun escaped from Lima Pass, more than half of the soldiers of the Tiger Guard and Fengwu Battalion who accompanied him were lost, and ninety percent of them died in the hands of Mu Guisai.
After breaking through the pass immediately, the cavalry of the Mong and Caohai tribes drove straight in, and the defenders of Beifu were caught off guard, losing repeatedly, and after more than half a month, the Mong Turks had already pointed to the north of the stream. These days, the Mengji and Caohai tribes suddenly stopped moving, neither sent troops, nor plundered Daganfu County everywhere, it seemed that they were recuperating, otherwise the outside of Jianbei City would not be so peaceful. But behind this tranquility there is a more frightening storm, these days Prince Chun and the Dingbei army are also worried, I don't know what the Meng Turks are planning, they are worried all day long, but they can't discuss anything famous.
Going to the army to fight and plotting is a tired strategy. Li Luo sighed secretly, Mongolia is different from Xirong, and it is not easy to deal with. Thinking of Prince Shi Chun's expression in the council hall, Li Luo understood that the envoy to Mongolia could not succeed, but was always regarded as a barbarian by the Dagan court of Caohai, and there was even a matter of Mu Guisai surrendering to the enemy. Mugui Seri and Wai are all generals of the Dingbei Army, guarding a pass, defending the country is not successful, but collaborating with the enemy and treason, Prince Chun is not clear about the use of people It is difficult to escape the blame. Nowadays, the decline of Liangzhou, it is not much worse to say that nine times out of ten it is caused by the surrender of Muguisai, the court is accountable, the spearhead is on Prince Chun, and there is no decree to ask for guilt, it is estimated that it is also on the face of the prince, which is no wonder that Prince Chun was unhappy when Li Luo asked why the Mengji Iron Horse could go south so quickly.
Li Luo was secretly suspicious, he really couldn't think of any reason why Mu Guisai would let the Mengji Iron Horse enter the pass, if it was to retaliate, then this person's deep mind was indeed chilling.
"By the way, this note was secretly delivered to me when I was in the Dragon Elephant Camp that day, you see." After that, Li Xuanze took out a piece of paper from his arms and folded it neatly.
Li Luo received it in his hand, opened it and saw that the handwriting on it was quite beautiful, and wrote: Hurry up, the Dragon Elephant Camp has been controlled by the Mongs, and it will be too late if you don't leave. There is also a line of small words at the back, which reads surnamed Li, I have no relationship with you and I have nothing to do with it again.
Li Luo frowned, such a familiar tone, Li Luo almost immediately appeared in his mind Su Niang's profligate smile and scolding, could it really be her?
"Xuanlou, you came to Yimachuan earlier than us, what are your guesses?"
Li Luo shook his head and said, "No, although I went to Yimachuan first, I don't have much intersection with the Dragon Elephant Camp, I don't know who will secretly report the news." Fifth brother, when you were in Lima Pass that day, didn't you rely on this letter of unknown origin to conclude that General Mu collaborated with the enemy and committed treason? ”
"No, how can we believe this news of unknown origin so easily, Uncle Huang sneered at it, and I guessed at the beginning whether it would be a counter-plot set up by the Mongols. In the end, General Ling insisted that it would be better to believe it than not to believe it, and persuaded the emperor to place the camp tent in the Lima Pass, not wanting to save our lives. The Mongolian cavalry forced the pass, Mu Guisai just did a show, and led the Caohai tribes into the pass in a grand manner, if it wasn't for General Ling seeing the opportunity to break the camp, we would have to stay in the pass. Li Xuanze said with palpitations.
Li Luo secretly exclaimed, Mu Guisai is known for his talent and leadership of the army, if he really has a foreign enemy in his heart, he will not be in such a hurry, and he will not leave such a big flaw, and most of this secret letter will not be sent to Li Xuanze.
"Xuanlou, you don't know, the Mongolian soldiers took Lima Pass without blood, and the elite soldiers of the first battalion of the Dragon Elephant Battalion were captured and killed by the Mongols before they fought. Uncle Huang made a lot of fire and beheaded a few generals of the Dingbei Army who were ineffective in killing the enemy, so he suppressed the gossip, otherwise he didn't know what would happen to Yeliangzhou. ”
Li Luo's heart was cold, the strong enemy was invincible, and then the general of the battalion was killed, and the Dingbei army first lost its horse's front hooves, and then encountered such an encounter, if there was no victory, I was afraid that the army's heart would be captured by the Mongolian iron cavalry, and it would be even more difficult to recover the lost territory. Li Chengye knows the art of war very well, and he shouldn't have acted so recklessly, it seems that he is really angry.
Li Luo sighed, and rarely had a feeling of confusion about the war in Beifu, and he was timid before fighting, this battle was difficult.
"You're back, though, at least we haven't lost yet. Xuanlou, the foolish brother knows very little about things in the army, and he doesn't have any good plans, but you are different, I believe you must have the means to turn things around. Li Xuanze patted Li Luo's shoulder heavily and smiled.
"Xuanlou doesn't dare to receive such praise from the fifth brother, the battle is fighting, the victory or defeat is only on the first line, Mengji is not better than Xirong, it is thousands of times more difficult to defeat them."
"Haha, it's a little harder, but it's not necessarily without a chance of winning, at least we're still there, aren't we?"
Li Luo smiled kindly and said, "Thank you Fifth Brother for reminding me, Xuanlou remembered." ”
"Okay, I'll take you down to rest first, and I'll stay in the Shuai Mansion these days. Your room has been reserved for a long time, no matter what they say, I know you'll be back. Li Xuanze's demeanor was close, maybe he was far away from Zhuocheng, he didn't see the cautious appearance when he was in Zhuocheng, and gradually had the demeanor that a prince should have, and his speech and demeanor made people feel like a spring breeze, and he felt very comfortable.
