Chapter 231: The Jialan River Opens the River
The king of Wuhuan, Uri Rai, immediately sent people to stop him, but Park Hyunyeol avoided it, because the current Beiyi Kingdom was indeed chaotic in the court, and he had to lead his army back. Since the Beiyi Khan King Pu Wanwan fell unconscious, according to the laws of the Beiyi, the queen Min was temporarily regent.
The Min family, the maiden family of the Min family, was a hereditary aristocracy in the Beiyi Khanate, and the Min family was in charge of the herbal medicine hall and the national medical hall, and they held a high position and power in the Beiyi country, influencing the court situation. After the regency of the Min family, he vigorously eradicated dissidents and promoted friends, which aroused the dissatisfaction of other important ministers in the court.
Originally, the party struggle within the Beiyi Dynasty quickly united to unite against the Min family, and bewitched the eldest prince and the second prince to fight against the Min family together. The Min family held the handle of the eldest prince and the second prince to inherit the throne in the future, so that the two princes did not dare to confront the Min family openly, so the two sides were evenly matched, but in private, the two sides fought fiercely, and it had reached the point of incompatibility.
The Korean War had seriously affected the front line and the lives of the people, and at this time, 80% of the troops in the Beiyi Kingdom were transferred to Saibei, and the general Park Hyunyeol became the person who dominated the national fortunes of the Beiyi Kingdom. Everyone understands that if Park Hyunyeol leads the army back to the country, whoever he supports must be the lord of Beiyi, even if this lord of Beiyi is a woman.
Queen Min has been a very thoughtful woman since she was a child, she relied on the power of her mother's family, took advantage of the struggle in the palace, wantonly suppressed and assassinated other concubines, persecuted other princes, and successfully became the queen in charge of the harem. Now the Min family wants to go further, and with the support of her favored ministers, her ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and she becomes the regent queen of the Beiyi Kingdom, so Park Hyunyeol has become her biggest obstacle.
Min knew that as a royal family, it was impossible for Park Hyun-yeol to support her as the regent, so he and his subordinates set up an ambush plan to assassinate Park Hyun-yeol as soon as he returned to China, and Min's elder brother took the position of military minister.
When the Wuhuan people tried their best to dissuade them, the Beiyi people first withdrew the first batch of more than 5,000 wounded and disabled troops.
At this time, the Beiyi people had 180,000 troops, but they successively sent 250,000 troops, and more than 70,000 people died in the Saibei Wasteland, which was too much for the Beiyi people to bear. The Beiyi soldiers also wanted to return to their hometown for a long time, and when they learned that the army had withdrawn, the whole army cheered, and Park Hyun-yeol finally realized the problem of morale and return. In order to earn more returns, he ordered the Beiyi cavalry to plunder everywhere, whether they were comrades or enemies, all property personnel were plundered and brought back to the country, and people were used as slaves and property for their own use.
The frenzied plundering behavior of the Beiyi people before leaving also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Tartar people, and the Tatar Khan King Li Gaotu immediately found the Wuhuan king Wuri Ralai and demanded that the Wuhuan people severely punish the Beiyi people.
How dare he punish the Beiyi people now, he is trying his best to dissuade the Beiyi people from staying, but Park Hyunyeol is unmoved, and he withdraws 5,000 soldiers every few days.
At the beginning of April, Park Hyun-yeol received a letter from the queen, urgently calling him to return to China quickly, inviting him to return to China immediately to preside over the overall situation, the Khan was unconscious and could not deal with the government affairs, should he wait for the Khan to wake up, or support the eldest prince or the second prince to worry about the new Khan? The letters of the Min family say that the two sons have now been deceived by the ministers and their relatives do not recognize their relatives, and while the father is still unconscious, they aggressively demand that the Min family immediately pass on the throne to one of them, and the two sons have fought against each other for the new king, and hundreds of people in the capital have been implicated and killed. Now, she is a woman and a Taoist family is persecuted by the ministers, and she really has no choice, hoping that Park Hyunyeol, the imperial uncle, can return to the capital immediately.
Park Hyunyeol is so scheming, naturally he will not return to the capital easily, let alone go back to uphold justice alone. While sending scouts back to China to inquire about information, he quickly adjusted his forces and quickened the pace of withdrawal.
Ruan Thanh Van took advantage of the chaos to leave Jincheng and returned to Zhang Xiaowu's camp.
During this time, Zhang Xiaowu was not idle, he took Li Chuncheng and Li Yuan to reconnoiter around, and reconnoitred the Inuyi departments near Jincheng, and noticed that the camp of the Inuyi assistant Wuhuan army was actually less than that of the Beiyi people. Combined with the cunning characteristics of the Wuhuan people, their current strength should be the most, but the total strength of the Wuhuan people is less than that of the Beiyi people, but there are more and more Tatar people, it seems that in order to capture Jincheng, the Tatar Khan King Li Gaotu has almost gone crazy.
Ruan Qingwen explained the situation of Jincheng to him, Zhang Xiaowu was not surprised by the casualties of nearly half of the soldiers in Jincheng, and said: "Condescending and guarding is the most taboo and tired, hundreds of thousands of troops of Inuyi have taken turns to attack the city for several months, and the Wuhuan people have the help of stone artillery, so Jincheng can hold on to this day, it is the ability of Gu Junshi." ”
Ruan Thanh Van lamented that the soldiers and civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the dead bodies were like mountains, and they could not be disposed of for a while, worrying that the weather would cause a major epidemic after the weather warmed.
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly shivered, if the plague was raging because of the decay of the corpse, this Jincheng was afraid that it would really not be able to stand it, seeing that the weather was getting warmer day by day, there was not much time left for Jincheng.
A few days later, Zhang Xiaowu and others found a team of Tatar cavalry shouting on the Jialan River, it turned out to be a scout who fell into the ice cave, Li Yuan worried: "The Jialan River is open, the ice is open, and the spring in Saibei is coming to an end." ”
In mid-April, there were only 100,000 elite soldiers left in the Beiyi battalion, and the rest of the personnel returned one after another, and Park Hyunyeol then wrote a letter to the Wuhuan king Uri Rai, and led 100,000 elite soldiers to withdraw overnight.
After receiving the letter, Wu Ri Rai quickly sent Wu Li, the little king of Wu Huan, to send troops to stop it, and Wu Li Li immediately led 20,000 Wuhuan elite ironclad cavalry to go around the back of the Beiyi people and put on a line formation to prevent the return of the Beiyi people. Wuhuan's ironclad cavalry is the killer weapon of the Wuhuan people, and it is also the most relied on force for Wuhuan to sweep the world and become the leader of the alien alliance.
Park Hyunyeol never expected that in order to prevent them from returning home, the Wuhuan people would send the most elite Wuhuan Iron Cavalry.
Ulilu sent an envoy to Urkanha to persuade him, but Park Hyunyeol had already made up his mind, and the 100,000 Beiyi elites were unusually united, their morale was high, and a major war between the two sides was about to break out. But fortunately, the two sides were very calm, and Park Hyun-yeol sent a military general to explain, but Wu Lilu was unmoved, and the soldiers on both sides confronted each other.
At this time, Zhang Xiaowu led three hundred cavalry to appear behind the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, staring at the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry from afar, Zhang Xiaowu sighed with emotion, and said to the left and right: "If I have such an ironclad cavalry, I can also sweep the world." ”
Li Yuan said with a smile: "The Wuhuan ironclad cavalry is a heavy cavalry, with only horse legs and no armor on the body, and the cavalry is also covered in iron pieces, but you see, my lord, their weakness-"
"What is it?"
"The iron armor of the Wuhuan ironclad cavalry only has front armor, and there is no armor behind it."
