Chapter 1295: Emperor Yuan VS Duke Qin (I)

Facts have proved that what Murong Ke has been chasing is obviously not all the Saihan army, so where did the rest of the people go?

The answer, of course, is to go back to Zhenbei Pass, otherwise where did the Han army that attacked Zhenbei Pass from the north come from.

At the beginning, Yuan Meng was also ready to take Zhenbei Pass from two sides, and Murong Ke was the commander of the Southern Route Army at that time, but Yang Ye, as a defender, knew the weakness of Zhenbei Pass, and in order to protect this weakness from being discovered by Yuan Meng, Yang Ye even took the initiative to give up Zhenbei Pass to confuse Yuan Meng, so there was a counterattack by the Han army to retake Zhenbei Pass.

Murong Ke formulated the plan for the two-way attack on Zhenbei Pass, he knew too well what Zhenbei Pass meant to Yuan Meng, once it was lost, more than 400,000 troops would face the danger of annihilation.

Thinking of this time, not to mention that Huo Quzhi's army had already suffered more than half of the casualties, even if there was no one out of ten, Murong Ke was not in the mood to continue to consume Huo Qubing in Mobei, he couldn't wait to fly back immediately to recapture Zhenbei Pass.

"Someone come, immediately send an order, give up all follow-up tasks, turn the whole army around, and march to Zhenbei Pass at full speed."

After issuing this order, Murong Ke's whole person seemed to be drained of strength, and he sat down on the chair that came to him.

Through this period of fighting, although Murong Ke chased the Han army all the way, he still realized the severity of Huo Qu's illness.

Although Ran Min, Long Ji and other fierce generals caused more trouble to Murong Ke, and even that general Yu once again relied on his personal martial arts to kill Murong Ke and had to be humiliated again, but in Murong Ke's heart, the threat of Huo Quai's illness was ten times that of them.

What the Han people lack most is a talented cavalry commander, and Yuan Meng is also most afraid of the birth of such a person among the Han people.

In Murong Ke's heart, Huo Qubing is a genius-type cavalry commander, and he has never commanded several cavalry battles, but his understanding of cavalry combat is not inferior to him, a famous general of the grassland.

Anyway, if the identities were exchanged, Murong Ke was not sure that he would use 20,000 cavalry to resist the encirclement and interception of more than 100,000 iron cavalry for so long, and he also broke the encirclement of more than 100,000 people several times.

Murong Ke really didn't put any water at all, but Huo Qubing was still alive and well, so he was so jealous of Huo Quai.

Murong Ke clearly knew that if he couldn't kill Huo Qubing this time, Huo Qubing would definitely take more cavalry out of the fortress in the future, and the life of this person would be a disaster for all the grassland people.

Although Murong Ke wished that Huo Qu would die of illness, he could also distinguish the priorities, after all, compared to the more than 400,000 troops who were still in Hetao, and Emperor Temujin of Yuan, Huo Qu's illness was simply not worth mentioning.

Getting rid of the latter is only to get rid of a future catastrophe for Yuanmeng, and if the first two are lost, the entire Yuanmeng will face the risk of annihilation.

Therefore, Murong Ke basically did not hesitate, and decisively chose to recapture Zhenzhen Beiguan.

At the beginning, Murong Ke led 100,000 iron horsemen and hurried back to Longcheng from Zhenbei Pass, but now he hurried back from Mobei.

Murong Ke could only hope that he could give him some strength and leave Huo Qu's illness behind.

Murong Ke's departure also created a unique way for Huo Qu's sick army, who had died all his life.

Compared with Murong Ke, the ability to command the troops of the tow mine is still too poor, and Murong Ke's hundreds of thousands of troops have not been able to set up Huo Quai, how can the tow mine be done.

Tuo Lei dispatched most of the troops in Longcheng, and united the major tribes in Mobei to jointly encircle and suppress Huo Quzhi, but not only failed to leave the less than 10,000 remnants of the army, but paid a lot of price for himself.

Of course, Huo Qubing also fought extremely hard, and even Huo Qubing himself almost died in battle.

In this way, the exit became the most difficult part of the Hetao War.

————————

When the news of the fall of Zhenbei Pass reached Ningxia County, Temujin did not hesitate to decisively choose to block the news, after all, if this news spread, it would be a huge blow to the whole army.

For the fall of Zhenbei Pass, Temujin arrived shocked and panicked, but did not have too much anger and unwillingness.

This time, the plan of the Han army can be described as a ring after a ring, and even Temujin himself did not find any clues, but was still led by Qin Hao all the time, so naturally no one else can be blamed.

The major generals of Yuanmeng in Yinshan County, especially Murong Trai, were extremely worried about the loss of Zhenbei Pass, for fear that Temujin would pursue their responsibility, but Temujin not only did not have any intention of pursuing responsibility, but also sent a flying eagle to send good words to comfort Murong Trai who had lost his beloved son, which also made the major generals of Yuanmeng in Yinshan breathe a sigh of relief.

After pacifying the generals of Yinshan, Temujin began to appease the generals of Ningxia again.

Although Temujin tried his best to block the news, how could such a major matter be blocked?

After the Yuan and Mongolian generals in Ningxia learned that Zhenbei Pass had fallen and the retreat route had been cut off, they all clamored to retreat to the grassland in Liangzhou to prevent the entire army from being wiped out of grain, and it was naturally impossible for Temujin to agree.

"What's the noise?"

After Temujin yelled, the hall, which had been like a vegetable market before, instantly became quiet, and no one dared to speak anymore.

Temujin glared at the boss with a pair of tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Do you all think you should withdraw your troops?" ”

A senior general stood up tremblingly and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the battle with the Han army has been protracted, but our army's retreat has been cut off, and we will never be able to get the supply of grain and grass from the grassland in the future. ”

This general said everyone's thoughts, and most of the Yuanmeng generals nodded in agreement, after all, although there was a lot of grain and grass seized from the Hetao, it couldn't stand the large number of people in the Yuanmeng army, and sooner or later there would be a day when they would be eaten up.

"Hmph, short-sighted."

Temujin snorted coldly with disdain, and then asked rhetorically: "How many miles is the journey back to Longcheng from Liangzhou, even if we are willing to leave the Hetao, will Qin Hao be willing to let us go back to the grassland?" ”

Temujin's question also made everyone speechless, yes, how could Qin Hao watch them withdraw from the loop.

With Temujin's understanding of Qin Hao, since such a big pit has been laid, there must be a backhand waiting for him, and in Temujin's opinion, retreat is the way to death.

With Yuanmeng's total strength in Hetao, if he concentrates his forces to retreat, the Han army really has nothing to do with him, but on the way to Yuanmeng's retreat, he can constantly send troops to attack and delay the withdrawal speed, and wear down Yuanmeng's troops little by little, and in the end, I am afraid that there will not even be half of the people who can really return to Longcheng.

Yuan Meng had already paid a huge price in order to get the Hetao this time, but he had to pay an even bigger price, but in the end, he couldn't get anything, which made Temujin how could he accept it.
