Chapter 189: The Situation in Xirong
Since the left and right armies of Xirong were broken, Qiancheng and Qiang Xingzhi were killed one after another, and Xirong's troops were greatly reduced, and there was no longer the power of the Western Regions.
Just when Li Luo led the army to besiege Yingchou Gorge, Huimeng had sent troops to attack the Chen River Valley, Xirong was attacked on both sides, and it was in danger.
Xirong fought in Dizhou, tragically killed 300,000 troops, and now the whole country, at most, can only make up more than 100,000 troops, to deal with the return to Mongolia, can still fight, if you add the fire, the fierce is more auspicious, not to mention Li Luo's more than 200,000 troops Chen Bingying Gorge, eyeing the gorge.
In Shuoxi City, everyone was in danger, and Kaluo urgently sent an envoy to worship the fire, send gold and silver beauties, and cut the land to sue for peace. Baihuo neither agreed nor refused, accepted the money, but did not retreat, but only postponed the march, stationed troops to watch the battle of the Chen River Valley, and wanted to make Xirong and Huimeng both defeated, and then make plans.
Hui Meng also saw that the intentions of worshipping fire were sinister, the offensive was gradually slowing down, and the strength was preserved, and the Xirong army took the opportunity to breathe for more than a month.
Liu Ce said, paused slightly, and said: "Now the situation in Xirong is extremely beneficial to our army, Huimeng is entangled with Xirong in the area of the Chen River Valley, although Baihuo has not sent troops for the time being, but it has also restrained tens of thousands of troops in Xirong, and the Xirong defenders on the front line of Yingchou Gorge are all old, weak, sick and disabled, if you want to use these people to resist my Daganxiong soldiers, it is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car, and I don't know what Kaluo is thinking." ”
Yun Wuyan said in a deep voice: "Xirong has exhausted its qi, even if it is fortunate to be able to keep Shuoxi City, the terrain of Pingshachuan is peculiar, west of Shuoxi, Xirong is difficult to defend, and it will be occupied by Huimeng and Baihuo, if Xirong still has a glimmer of life, it should be east of Shuoxi." ”
"East of Shuoxi?" Liu Ce was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he glanced at Li Luo with understanding.
After listening to Yun Wuyan's words, Li Luo smiled slightly, no wonder Di Jie admired him so much, Yun Wuyan was only in his thirties, and he was born with a tiger's back and a bee's waist. The air is lofty, the hope of the Kong is powerful, but it is not a brave person, the eyes are like a star, between the opening and closing, looking forward to the might, the edge is hidden. Li Luokai smiled and said, "General Yun, how do you say it?" ”
Yun Wuyan glanced at Li Luo, and then at Di Jie. hugged his fists and saluted, and said carefully: "General Hui, the last general thinks that our army defeated Xirong too much in the first battle of Dizhou, and now Xirong's military strength has been sharply reduced, and he is no longer able to hold Pingshachuan, and sooner or later Pingshachuan will be eaten up by Huimeng and Baihuo." Once the remnants of Xirong were surrounded and annihilated by the two countries, the soldiers surrounded the city. It was only a matter of time before Xirong perished, either he surrendered or the country fell, and he couldn't think of any other way for the Xirong court. If he surrenders, the mystery of this depends on how Kara responds. ”
Li Luo nodded and said, "What General Evian said." Sijon is more likely to surrender, but how do we know that Kara will not fight to the death? ”
Yun Wuyan stammered: "General, the last general Guan Kaluo acts, is ambitious and ruthless. The last general guessed that Kara was most likely to surrender to one of them in exchange for Xirong's last breath. ”
Liu Ce continued: "General, the last general also thought that Xirong would not fight to the death, and now at this time, Xirong is embattled, there is nowhere to escape, and Xirong may not be willing to give up the foundation of Shuoxi, plus Xirong is not as good as my great will, the people of the clan are more to the ancestral temple, for the Xirong Dynasty, but it is just like this, Huimeng and the fire worship army pressed the border, it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not take refuge in the enemy country, there are not many people in Xirong, the vitality of Dizhou is injured in the first battle, it is difficult to recover in the short term, and now Xirong lacks time the most. ”
All the generals nodded again and again, Xirong can also be called a vast and sparsely populated area, better than Dizhou back then, but compared to the states of Zhongfu, the difference is huge, in its heyday, 400,000 soldiers, after the accumulation of several generations of monarchs in Xirong, it is already the limit of Xirong, if there is such a military capacity, I am afraid it will take a lot of time.
Li Luo smiled slightly and said: "The two generals are reasonable, it seems that Xirong has no way to retreat, the Chen River Valley is constantly fighting, and there may be 70,000 troops crossing the Pingsha River, Xirong has troops in both places, and I am only on the front line of Yingchou Gorge is just some old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is difficult to become a climate. ”
Di Jie stroked his beard and said: "How dare Xirong be so assured, in case our army attacks on a large scale, Shuoxi will be attacked on three sides, not to mention the line of Yingchou Gorge, even the two places of Chen River Valley and the fire worship army, it will be difficult to preserve, this Kala, so bold." ”
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, and said simply: "Kaluo may hold something." Seeing that the generals looked at him puzzled, Li Luo said lightly: "A few days ago, the DPRK sent a letter to the central government, ordering the army to garrison the Yingchou Gorge, not to rush in, and not to start the war again. ”
"What?" The crowd will be in an uproar.
Li Luolang said: "Please forgive Di Shuai, you have never seen this letter." ”
Di Jie was stunned for a moment, understood, and laughed: "The letter was burned by you? ”
Li Luo smiled slightly: "Maybe." ”
Di Jie shouted: "Okay, you have the guts, but Xuanlou, don't underestimate my big Gan Qunhao, I will not be subject to foreign military orders, and there are no cowards and fears here." ”
Among the generals, there are many people with smart minds who understand Li Luo's intentions, Liu Ce and Li Luo have been friends for a long time, and said: "General, if there is a whisper in the court, we should advance and retreat with the general. ”
"Yes, these villains in the DPRK and China, I don't know how many benefits they have received from Xirong, I don't know the depths, and they will bring disaster to the country and the people." The generals in the tent scolded in a mess.
Li Luo said indifferently: "You don't have to take this matter to heart, Li Luo shouldn't have said it, but General Liu is right, you and I depend on each other for life and death, and it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Li Luo saw that the generals were still going to speak, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please rest assured, Li Luo is the son of the Nine Emperors of Dagan, and there is still my father in the court, so there will be things that do not respect the decree of the court, and he will not do anything to me, besides, these letters may not be known to the emperor, and these people in the court do not dare to be too presumptuous." ”
The generals calmed down a little, but they were inevitably filled with righteous indignation, the situation in Xifu was favorable, if they did not take advantage of the situation to pacify the Western Regions, when Xirong took a breath, it was the people of Dagan who suffered.
Li Luo diverted the topic and said: "Let's not talk about these things first, how do you think my army should be discussed?" ”
The generals began to talk about it, some said that they would directly raise troops to capture Shuoxi, and some people said that they would not move for the time being, and wait for Xirong and Huimeng Baihuo to be defeated before sending troops.
After a while, the generals quieted down and looked at Li Luo and Di Jie. (To be continued.) )
