Chapter 938: Response
Han Xuening asked Duan Jun again: "Lord Wang, what are you going to do in the future?" ”
Duan Jun said: "Now, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the southern Xinjiang city, and there are at least 60,000 elite soldiers in Dali City, and it is almost impossible to recapture Dali City. Some time ago, Duan Yi sent an envoy to Persia to ask for an alliance with the Persian army. In addition, with the 40,000 soldiers and horses in the two western cities controlled by Duan Jun, he could deploy a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses. The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the old general in the southern Xinjiang city section were not their opponents. This matter has to be considered in the long run. ”
Obviously, now Duan Jun has no way to recapture Dali City, so he can only stay in Nanjiang City first.
Han Xue thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Kingdom can support you. When I go back and tell the emperor, I will be able to deploy a large number of soldiers and horses to help. ”
The Great Wei State is equivalent to the size of more than a dozen Dali Kingdoms, and the soldiers and horses are ten times the size of the Dali Kingdom, as long as the Great Wei Kingdom can help, it is a matter of time before Duan Jun hides Dali City.
Duan Jun was quite happy in his heart, but he knew that in the event of a battle, there would definitely be heavy casualties on both sides. Also, if there is a war on the land of Dali, many people of Dali will die in the war, and many people will be homeless.
He will not use force to solve the problem unless absolutely necessary.
"Miss Xue Ning, I have received your kindness, but once the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Kingdom enter the Dali Kingdom to start a war. It will inevitably cause casualties among the troops on both sides and implicate countless civilians. I can't bear to see a large number of soldiers of your Great Wei Kingdom die on the land of Dali Kingdom, and in addition, I don't want to see the people of Dali Kingdom homeless, casualties and starvation to death because of the war. Duan Jun still dismissed Han Xuening's kindness.
Duan Jun has the kindness of a king, but he does not have the courage of a king.
He is a benevolent monarch, but in the war era, benevolence is useless.
Han Xuening continued: "Duan Yi and the queen are in cahoots and murder Zhongliang, if they are allowed to rule Dali Kingdom, I don't know how many good people will suffer? I wonder how many loyal ministers will die tragically? The prince is kind to the people, but Duan Yi will not be merciful to the people, if the prince does not want to find a way to calm the war in the Great Wei City, the people will be even more displaced and homeless. ”
Hua Yun also said: "Miss Xue Ning is right, Lord Wang, you can only recapture Dali City in order to let the people of Dali live a good life." ”
Duan Yi didn't speak again, he couldn't make this decision.
"Let me think again, is there a better way. I don't want the people to be killed or injured in this war, and I don't want to see a large number of Dali children orphaned. Duan Yi still couldn't bear to make this decision.
After Han Xuening and the others lived in the city for two days, they said goodbye to Duan Yi and wanted to go back. Hua Yun said that she wanted to stay by Duan Yi's side and advance and retreat together, so she wouldn't go back. Let Han Xuening bring a message to Wei Yunxuan, saying that she, a mother, can't agree to his request.
Hua Yun's words made Han Xuening a little puzzled, what happened between the mother and son?
It seems that Hua Yun won't be able to say anything, so she can only ask Wei Yunxuan when she goes back.
The next day, Han Xuening said goodbye to Duan Jun, Hua Yun and their party, and took Xiaodong and more than a dozen female guards out of the city.
After a day's journey, they returned to the place where they had garrisoned troops outside Dali.
Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia waited here for several days with 20,000 women's troops, but they didn't see Han Xuening and them come back, and the two of them were very worried.
Now, when they finally saw the queen and Xiaodong back, they were relieved.
"Boss! What about the princess? Why didn't I come back with you? Koharu didn't see Princess Huayun, so she asked.
"We found Duan Wangye, and the princess is accompanying Duan Wangye. They are safe in the southern Xinjiang city. When those spies come back, we will retreat back to Great Wei City. Han Xuening said to everyone.
In the afternoon, several teams of spies sent out came back one after another. Han Xuening ordered to stay for another night tonight, and set off tomorrow to return to Great Wei City.
In the evening, in the camp tent, Han Xuening listened to the news brought by those spies.
It turned out that another group of Persian troops came to Dali City, and the envoy sent by Duan Yi to Persia met with the Persian king, and the Persian army agreed to ally with Duan Yi's army to deal with Duan Jun's forces in Dali.
Han Xuening knew that these people might be about to make a move against Southern Xinjiang City.
The spies also said that Duan Yi not only recruited the Persian army, but also the Cold Moon Kingdom in the north of the Great Wei Kingdom.
Cold Moon was a large country, with a population larger than that of Persia, and an army of 500,000 troops, twice the size of the Persian army. Duan Yi was able to unite with the Cold Moon Kingdom, and it would be even more difficult to capture Dali City this time.
Early the next morning, Han Xuening led the troops to return immediately.
Two days later, the large army arrived outside the Evil Wolf Valley, and as long as they walked for two or three hours after the Evil Wolf Valley, they would arrive at the southern cities of the Great Wei Kingdom.
In order to rush back as soon as possible, Han Xuening asked the troops to continue on their way.
After crossing the Valley of the Evil Wolf, their women's army met with the 50,000 elite soldiers led by Lin Ziming and Lin Zicong.
It turned out that Lin Ziming and Lin Zicong had been mobilizing soldiers and horses during this time to join Han Xuening's women's team. Unexpectedly, their troops and horses were mobilized, and not long after they set off, they met Han Xuening on the way and they returned with the women's army.
In this way, the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by the two men returned.
Back in Dawei City, Han Xuening went to Liufu first, and after meeting Huazi, she asked Huazi: "Sister, have you seen the emperor?" ”
What Han Xuening meant was that she had done what she had asked her to take to the palace.
Hua Zi was a little embarrassed, "Sister, the emperor went out of the city that day, and I didn't meet it." Neither Wang Ye nor Mr. Wen have yet returned to Great Wei City. ”
The matter was urgent, and Han Xuening immediately led people into the palace.
Sure enough, Wei Yunxuan and Mr. Wen went out to inspect several cities in the west of Great Wei City, and they haven't come back yet.
The people in the palace didn't know when they would come back, and Han Xuening also felt helpless, so she could only wait for Wei Yunxuan to come back in the palace.
They waited for a week before Wei Yunxuan and Mr. Wen returned from the western city.
"Queen, why are you here?" As soon as he entered the dormitory in the palace, Wei Yunxuan saw Han Xuening and felt very surprised.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, Dali Kingdom is sick, and now, Duan Yi and Empress Murong Mei have taken control of Dali City. Prince Duan Jun went to the southern Xinjiang city of Dali, and Princess Huayun originally stayed in the palace, but after hearing that Duan Wang Ye said goodbye without saying goodbye, she also went to Nanjiang City to meet Duan Wangye. Han Xuening said truthfully.
"What? My mother is gone? Wei Yunxuan was a little disappointed, originally she hoped that her mother would stay in the palace and live happily with his father Wei Zhaoji. Who knows, he just came back from outside the city, and this kind of thing happened.
Han Xuening said what Hua Yun asked her to bring with Wei Yunxuan, "Your Majesty, the princess also said that I can't stop your request." ”
