Chapter 700: Choice

Qingshuikou, when Qin Lang's cavalry was preparing to cross the river with the assistance of the water division, he knew very well that the new cavalry was powerful, and he did not hesitate, and turned around and ran away with more than 1,000 lightly armed infantry under his command.

It was too late to flee to Ji County upstream, as a lightly armed army arranged to do auxiliary work...... This unit is not an elite in the first place, but can do auxiliary work.

That is, there was no heavy armor, no adequate equipment, and no strong strongholds.

In this case, what to do with Qin Lang's new cavalry?

Since he couldn't escape upstream, he couldn't surrender to the other party, and he couldn't fight, so he had to jump into the river to escape.

After all, there are not many people who dare to jump into the river, either very good at swimming or have a firm mind.

Biqiuxing belonged to the latter group, if captured by the Wei army...... Before the Han and Wei held a prisoner exchange, he would have been tortured to death.

In the inference of the Han and Wei dynasties on the details of the decisive battle in Guanzhong, although the key turning point was Tian Xin's capture of Wu Qian, it was because Wu Zhen was angry and behaved at a loss that Tian Xin was given a chance.

And there are many culprits who have ruined Wu Qian's anger, and Biqiu Xing, who is in charge of the Wujie Knights, is obviously the one with the heaviest share.

If Guan Long is an arm of the Great Wei Empire, then this arm is gone, and the Great Wei Empire has retreated to the substantial Great Wei Kingdom. Therefore, Hedong and Taiyuan have become a new arm, which is a situation determined by geography.

And he was one of the many turning points that caused the Great Wei Empire to lose an arm and shrink into a kingdom.

I'd rather drown in the Yellow River than fall into the hands of Wei!

Biqiu Xing resolutely jumped into the Yellow River, holding a flagpole and floating in the relatively gentle, but turbulent water.

On the banks of the river, there were about 700 officials who refused to jump into the river and were captured.

Man Chong, Qin Lang, Cao Lin, and Cao Mao were watching from the battleship command tower, and they were all secretly relieved to see that the Han army that had successfully dispersed the remaining forces on the south bank.

I was afraid that thousands of ambush soldiers would suddenly rush out of the reeds and wipe out the cavalry that was about to cross the river.

I was even more afraid that a bunch of warriors would appear in the light soldiers on the opposite side, but instead the cavalry crossing the river would be resisted and eaten.

Fortunately, there is only one such person, and it is impossible for him to appear in these light soldiers.

In a comfortable mood, Man Zhong had already made a choice, and suddenly joked to Qin Lang: "If Yingchuan Zhao Boran is here, waving his hand, there will be 8,000 prisoners in our army, and countless Han troops will be drowned." ”

Qin Lang laughed when he heard this, Cao Lin didn't know these black words in the army, and Cao Mao also sneered.

The Wei army has suffered defeats year after year, and the loss of data has been covered up, and the center of the imperial court has also acquiesced and not pursued.

But Zhao Yan, the commander of Hedong County, followed Xiahou Shang in Tian Xin and Ma Chao for the first time out of Wankou, and in the battle of Ye, he beheaded Shen Tan, the general of the Han expedition to the north, and also killed Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian.

Counting some other gains, because Cao Xiu was temporarily captured by Tian Xin, Zhao Yan was in charge, so he waved his pen and reported to the court with one as ten.

Since then, the Wei army has had a tradition of obtaining data to be ten, if you don't report it, you will suffer, and everyone around you will suffer, so naturally it will not give you a good attitude.

As long as you report it, the imperial court will recognize this military merit, but there are some discounts when implementing the reward, and no matter how discounted there is, it is impossible to fold one, two or three times.

For an organization like the imperial court, sometimes face is the most important, and reporting good news but not bad news is beneficial to the stability of the country.

As for the officials who were damaged on the front line, as well as related pensions and the like, the imperial court did not know about it, so naturally it would not allocate pensions...... There is no such thing at all, the place drags on for a few years, and it will be mixed up.

After all, if people are gone, they are gone, so do the living still have to fight for the dead?

Therefore, the low morale of the Wei army was the result of multiple factors, which were interlinked, and Sima Yi's military reform was ...... Although it is a matter of life and death, it is so difficult that it is no different from being reborn.

Da Wei has undergone a reborn change, and the original Da Wei is equivalent to death.

Man Zhong opened the topic by ridiculing Zhao Yan's old affairs, anyway, on his own boat, he asked in person: "Your Majesty patrols Luoyang, and wants to hunt Xianyang Yuan with King Xia." What does the general think about such a big event? ”

Qin Lang pursed his lips slightly, and asked rhetorically: "The soldiers of the six towns of Youyun are strong and powerful, compared to the Chinese army in Yedu, which is stronger and which is weaker?" ”

"Hehe, if there is a battle in the plains, with the vastness of Hebei, the Chinese army is far inferior to the border soldiers of the six towns."

Manzhong looked at the bank of the Yellow River in the south, and half-squinted his eyes to see more clearly: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun made a rebellion, gathered 100,000 people, invaded the four prefectures of You, He, Hebei, and Qing, and all the north of the Yellow River were difficult to stop their troops. The population of present-day Hebei County is far less than that of Yin Shi in the late Han Dynasty, and the soldiers are also inferior; And the border soldiers are stronger than Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, I think that today's Hebei is no longer the opponent of the six towns. ”

The situation is different, many heroes who were awarded officials for meritorious service during the Battle of the Yellow Turbans had to lose their officials because of the imperial court assessment or various reasons, and Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, who were county guards, lost their officials, and naturally became angry, and immediately raised troops to make a rebellion to take this breath.

The state and county still have the armed forces that remained during the Yellow Turban, and in this case, it is still impossible to contain Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, if it weren't for these two people who were stupid and called the emperor and king without authorization, otherwise they would hold each other and negotiate with the imperial court more likely.

Manzhong's answer is very clear, in his eyes, if Sima Yi's border army raises troops to uphold morality for the emperor, it will definitely be able to beat the current Chinese army unified by Chen Qun, and the worst can surround Yedu and trap the Chinese army.

Therefore, in terms of military control, the emperor is stronger at present, but he has no intention of violently solving the crown prince, and chooses to take the initiative to retreat.

Qin Lang didn't dare to confess easily, after all, his two brothers were on a favored ship, and his army was on the shore...... If the answer is wrong, Man Zhong took out an edict and hacked himself to death on the spot, which was also in vain.

He didn't say anything, Cao Lin looked left and right, and didn't dare to interject rashly.

But Cao Mao didn't have any scruples, leaned on the flagpole on his left shoulder, and said lazily: "Cao Zidan was transferred to Taiyuan to unify the six counties, and his eldest son Cao Shuang has a close relationship with the prince. Luoyang is a trapped place, and although Cao Zidan has the ability, he has no place to do it. This goes to Taiyuan, like a bird into the forest. If Cao Zidan is counted, the border army under Sima Zhongda is somewhat difficult, and it is difficult to defeat the Chinese army quickly. ”

Therefore, after Cao Zhen gained a firm foothold in Taiyuan, the balance of the military power of the Great Wei would be restored.

And before this, even if Sima Yi's border army wanted to do something, they had to worry about the impact, at least the emperor could still suppress Sima Yi, and Sima Yi could still suppress the six towns, and he would not be coerced by the six towns.

Domestic balance, is that for the emperor or for the crown prince...... Actually, there is no difference.

After all, the emperor's best son, Cao Li, had fallen from a horse and died not long ago, and there was no one who could replace the crown prince, so it was of no practical sense to support the emperor.

This is just for the domestic market, if you consider the international situation and refer to the strange attitude of Beifu, then many things have another view.

After all, Beifu still holds Cao Zhang's grandson Cao Fang in his hands, and insists on helping Cao Fang succeed to the throne, so the emperor will inherit the temple, the community, and the family...... There is a certain possibility that there will be compromises.

At that point, the situation in the world will be fun.

So now supporting the emperor has a bit of collusion with Beifu, and if you support the prince, you can only go one way to the black.

Man Zhong is not in a hurry to force Qin Lang to make a statement, when the emperor arrives at Qingshuikou, Qin Lang will naturally make the right choice, there is no need to be a villain at present.

Cao Lin and Cao Mao are the emperor's brothers, and they are uncles and nephews with the crown prince, which one is closer?
