Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Crisis Returns!
It didn't take long for the eldest grandson Wuji and Xun You to come together, and when they saw Lin Yan's expression, they were quite relaxed, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I don't know what happened?" ”
Lin Yan handed over the battle report in his hand with a smile, and said softly: "Come, you can also take a look!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji took the envelope first, and after browsing, there was also a hint of surprise on his face: "Haha, good!" ”
"I really didn't expect that General Yue would have such the ability to command troops, and Gongjin's strategy this week is also wonderful!"
"If it is really as stated in the letter, the 60,000 troops of Xiqi this time will be conservatively estimated to be lost by half!"
The eldest grandson smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Although this battle is won, but the enemy does not retreat for a day, we can't relax, and now Yue Fei has won a chance for us to breathe!" ”
"Tell me about it, you two, what are we going to do now?"
Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji, Xun You's face was quite dark, and he said softly: "Lord Wang, you really can't take it lightly at this time!" ”
"Although we won the first battle in this battle, Xiqi's army is not only 60,000 iron cavalry!"
As soon as Xun You's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became dull, and the smile on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji also froze instantly.
"That's a good point!"
Lin Yan had already guessed this, but before he got the exact news, he didn't show it in the slightest!
After all, this battle is of great significance to Yasukuni, and this initial victory also allowed him to see a glimmer of light!
"Lord Wang, in the past three years, Xiqi has continued to encroach on our territory, three years ago, now the land of the two states was ceded, but their wolf ambitions are clearly revealed, and now they are advancing eastward, and they have been planning for a long time!"
"Although they suffered setbacks on the Li River, what they are plotting is by no means the land of the two states of our Yasukuni, but these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are the national dynasty of our Yasukuni!"
"Therefore, in the next estimate, this time Yasukuni will not stop until the goal is achieved, and after crossing the river this time, it will be equivalent to truly gaining a firm foothold, and once the main army reaches it, it will definitely drive straight in!"
"At that time, the capital division is in danger!"
Hearing Xun You's analysis, Lin Yan also bowed slightly, and said softly: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to give up the western territory and stick to the Jingshi!" ”
"But how should the people of the West be settled?"
Eldest Sun Wuji's face also showed a hint of embarrassment: "In the past few days, tens of thousands of people have been pouring in the direction of Jing'an City, and in a few days, I'm afraid that Jing'an will also be overcrowded!" ”
……
Lin Yan bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This matter will be handed over to the head of the household department to be handled, and the local governments will be ordered to open warehouses and release grain, and help the displaced people!" ”
"For young and strong, they can be recruited into the army, and now that our Yasukuni is in a difficult moment, including them in the army is also a way to resettle!"
"After the city gate was opened, the number of people in Jing'an City increased dramatically, and the pressure on public security was also greatly increased.
"Order Yue Fei to return to Beijing immediately, and you can expand the army on your own along the way!"
"No!"
The eldest grandson Wuji wrote down these one by one and continued: "Lord Wang, tomorrow morning, it has been arranged!" ”
Lin Yan bowed slightly: "Okay!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji left in a hurry, and Lin Yan looked at Xun You: "Gongda, do you say that we may survive this crisis this time?" ”
Xun You's eyes were deep, "If you can win the hearts of the people, this battle can be decided, otherwise...... Only abandon Jingjingjin! ”
Lin Yan's eyes also flashed with a glimmer of light, and he said in a calm tone: "You secretly transferred the treasury and left some cronies, if you really have to go that far, this Jing'an City would rather be burned down than left to the barbarians!" ”
Xun You's face was cold, and he nodded slightly: "No!" ”
……
On the banks of the Li River!
In the camp of Xiqi!
"The king has arrived!"
With a loud shout, I saw a heroic middle-aged man in gold armor striding in, followed by a man in a python robe and a middle-aged man with a goatee dressed as a literati!
"See the king!"
The people in the big tent went out to greet them, and when they saw the figure, they knelt down and saluted!
The golden-armored man's face was not angry, he glanced at Tuoba Xiong lightly, and said softly: "What about Su Le? ”
"General Souler is dead!"
King Xiqi directly stepped forward and sat in the handsome seat, and said softly: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
"Back to the king!" Tuoba Xiong had a hint of panic in his eyes, and said softly: "I was waiting on the bank of the Li River to prepare to cross the river, but I don't know when, Yasukuni actually sent an elite army of tens of thousands of people to ambush in the jungle, due to the limited number of ships!" ”
"Our sons can only cross the river with 5,000 people, and they are surrounded by an ambush by the Jingren, and the whole army is annihilated!"
"And then?"
King Xiqi's face was calm, without the slightest anger, and Tuoba Xiong continued: "After we found out, we collected boats and sent six thousand men to cross the river again. ”
King Xiqi's face was unmoved, but a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the python-robed man next to him!
Tuoba Xiong continued: "General Sule led the army to help, but the last general knew that the people who commanded the army this time were not simple, and they came prepared, so he advised him to be cautious! ”
"Su Le Na didn't listen to the dissuasion, and directly led 60,000 troops to cross the river, but I didn't expect that the Jing army had already cut off the upstream water, and when our army crossed the river, the water was discharged in one fell swoop, and our army lost more than half of its 60,000 children!"
