Chapter 228: Withdrawal

For Zhang Tingyu, a young man, the old ministers in the court have always attached great importance to him, after all, this person's ability to speak and do things is one of the best, and now he is also a member of the third grade, but he is low-key and cautious, so many people have calmed down and want to hear Zhang Tingyu's thoughts.

"The top priority now is not Chu Shun on the other side, but how we bring the emperor and the army back safely, as long as the emperor can turn the crisis into safety, the strength of the army still exists, and Chu Shun is not enough to trouble."

Zhang Tingyu didn't go around in any circles, and went straight to the point and said his thoughts. And this idea coincides with Ma Qi.

What's most important at the moment? Naturally, it is the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty, and the replacement of the throne will be directly related to the future of the Qing Dynasty, now Emperor Kangxi is old, and he vomits blood on the battlefield, to say something ugly, who knows when Kangxi will burp like this, if Kangxi is dead, then which brother should the throne of the Qing Dynasty be given to? You must know that there is no edict in Kangxi at the moment, if there is a good thing, who should be given the throne at that time, everyone can't tell.

In addition, there are currently more than 70,000 people in the army, and the Eight Banners of Beijing are as high as 40,000 people. After all, in the current Qing Dynasty, there are only more than one million people in the Eight Banners, and among the more than one million people, the most that can be drawn out of the young and strong soldiers is 200,000.

However, with the fight of several battles, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners have been killed, and now there are 40,000 here, adding up to more than 70,000 people.

"Hengchen, what you said is indeed quite reasonable, and it coincides with what the old man thinks. It's just that it is not easy to withdraw the troops at the moment, not to mention the Chu rebellion in Liantan Town opposite, the 30,000 Chu rebellion under Tongcheng, I'm afraid we won't let us leave easily. Ma Qi said leisurely, and the rest of the ministers had a heavy look on their faces.

Zhang Tingyu said calmly: "Although these days, our army has been attacking Liantan Town for a long time, but in the end, it has also crippled this Chu Rebellion, if there is no Liantan Town as a support, the Ma Army can go down in one fell swoop, completely eliminate the Chu Rebellion here, and take Liantan Town." Therefore, the lower officials thought that they would not come out. ”

"As for the Chu rebellion in Tongcheng, it has been blocked by our army's grain road, but this battle is unavoidable, and the only way to survive is to die." After Zhang Tingyu said this, he couldn't help sighing, it was not easy for the current Qing army to win this battle without support.

As the vanguard commander of the forward battalion, Ehai glanced at everyone, and then hugged his fists and said: "Tongcheng is just a small city, and there is no danger to defend under the city. ”

In the current Qing army, everyone has seen the combat power of the infantry army, and now the horse army has become the only hope, and the Fu Han army on the opposite side has been short of horses for a long time, and there are only hundreds of sentinel rangers, which cannot resist the tens of thousands of cavalry of the current Qing army.

Ma Qi nodded, and no longer hesitated at the moment, and issued an order to withdraw the troops in turn, and then transfer the emperor out first, and the most dangerous task of the army naturally fell on the green battalion, but this is something that everyone is used to, and even the green battalion did not have the slightest intention of resisting.

The horn sounded continuously, and the entire Qing army camp began to get busy, and everyone placed all kinds of logistics materials in the camp on the cart, and then began to evacuate, of course, there were many Qing soldiers on the periphery of the front line to guard to prevent the Han army from making any moves.

At this time, Liantan Town was full of collapsed houses, as well as charred wood chips, and the remaining soldiers of the Fu Han Army were all wounded, after Yue Lingfeng was injured, Uzhijing's abdomen was also cut, but fortunately it was bandaged with a strip of cloth, and it was fine, but everyone knew in their hearts that the entire second garrison division had also reached the end of the strong crossbow.

Because of this, when Ujijing saw the retreating Qing army through the clairvoyant mirror, his subconscious thought was that the Metropolitan Governor had threatened Tongcheng! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Qing army to give up at the moment, but he didn't expect that there would be a section where Kangxi vomited blood, otherwise he would have the intention of fighting another battle.

Outside Liantan Town, the main force of the Qing army began to slowly move away, but compared to the meaning of coming, the Qing army at this time seemed somewhat embarrassed and depressed, they left more than 20,000 corpses, but did not take Liantan Town in the end.

Lao Chen limped and walked with the big army, he was just a veteran oil with some cleverness, he didn't understand why he came here at the beginning, and he didn't understand why he wanted to leave now, those are all the things of adults, not something that he, a veteran oil boy, can consider.

It's just that when he was about to leave, Lao Chen Tou glanced back at Liantan Town, the battle was over, but Erniu's body was still there, and there was not even a person to collect the corpse, so he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

The Qing army did not have any objection to this withdrawal, and the big guys were really tired and tired of this battle, and now they have the opportunity to dodge the earth-shattering artillery, the rounds of guns, and the bright bayonets, and it has become the greatest luxury to live.

Kangxi was lying in the chariot, covered with a thick quilt, his face was pale, and his body was really crushed by vomiting blood, but with the bumps of the car, he slowly opened his mouth and muttered a few words, but the sound of these words was very small, and they were intermittently sentenced.

There were originally two little eunuchs serving on the chariot, and seeing that Kangxi seemed to be about to wake up, he immediately went to tell the ministers, and then several imperial doctors came with the ministers, and everyone's faces showed a look of surprise.

No matter how many of these people are full of opinions about Kangxi, but now that the enemy is present, everyone is looking forward to Kangxi's awakening, so that he will have the backbone and not fly around like a headless fly.

After some diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor, he then changed the prescription a little, changed the medicinal properties to be more warm and replenished, and said: "The emperor is in a hurry...... Now the pulse is much more stable, but it needs to be adjusted more now, and I ask you not to disturb the emperor's rest too much. ”

As soon as Ma Qi and the others heard this, the hanging heart was slightly relaxed, but now the problem is in front of the big guy again, the withdrawal has been withdrawn, but what should the emperor do when he wakes up and asks? Although this is a desperate move at a critical moment, after all, it is unreasonable for the emperor to come out, and someone needs to come out as a scapegoat.

All the ministers were wandering around this idea in their hearts, but the big guys didn't speak, Qi Qi stared at Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu, and the meaning was very simple, you are the master of the second one, you go and wipe your ass by yourself.

Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu glanced at each other, smiled dumbly, and then walked to the line together.

"Slave Ma Qi, slave Zhang Tingyu, knock to see the emperor!"
