Chapter 277: Retreat
After listening to the commander of the thousand commanders hurriedly talking about the cause and effect, Zhezhe's heart was as speechless as a knife for a long time.
At this moment, he looked at the commander in front of him and then looked at Bei Muer lying on the stretcher, but what he thought in his heart was whether if Da Danyu was here, would he fall for the tricks of the Qin people.
At this time, he suddenly understood a little bit about the cause of the flood, because he remembered the plan that Da Shan Yu had used to break the city with yellow water on Lingzhou City.
It seems that the people of Qin are really "scheming", and even this use of soldiers has many similarities.
Zhezhe sighed in his heart and sighed to himself.
While thinking about how to report the battle situation to Da Shan Yu and how to continue to use troops, he finally led the remnants of the army to retreat to Xuchang City in frustration.
......
"Hahaha, General An's soldiers are like gods, he really has the style of an ancient general, although we lost Quwo, but the Rong army was no longer able to attack Shangdang and Longmen in a short period of time, and it was still a great achievement.
General An and his brothers fought hard to retreat from the enemy, please accept the bow. ”
In the meeting hall of Huangtian Ferry, Lu Lihua said with a smile to An Moran, who was kneeling in front of him to ask for sin, and bowed to An Moran as he spoke.
A complicated look flashed in An Moran's eyes, and after seeing that Lihua finished the salute, he hurriedly said ashamedly: "These plans were all set by General Hexi and you, how dare An be greedy."
And An did not expect that the Rong people would attack the city that day, so they withdrew the brothers in a hurry, resulting in the death of thousands of soldiers in vain and the burning of countless grains and grass.
Moreover, the people of Xiemapo did not settle down clearly in a hurry, which caused the delay in the time of arson, so that many Rong people fled, not to mention, and most of the people were slaughtered by those fleeing Rong people. ”
An Moran said this, and for a while, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"General An, no one expected that the Rong people would make a desperate bet that day, vowing to fight and capture Quwo.
Therefore, in the face of the crisis, General An has done a good job after judging the situation.
And Gu was also in the city that day, if General An is responsible, wouldn't Gu's responsibility be greater. ”
Gu Daoyuan saw that An was silently sad, and hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort. It's just that he stopped talking after just saying two sentences, frowned at Zhang Ziyu, who also looked at Zhang Ziyu, who also had a bad face, shook his head and stopped speaking.
Everyone in this hall knew that those people who died in vain were discovered by the Rong people who escorted Mrs. Yin and Gongzi Hui and the clan relatives to walk slowly. Otherwise, the people knew that they were in danger, and how could they not go on in the woods of Shemapo shortly after leaving Quwo?
Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu seemed to be able to see the bitter expressions of those delicate clan relatives who had just escaped not far away, they knew that Xiemapo would lead the Rong people to attack, but they turned a deaf ear to this. They knew that the people were unarmed, but they still let the people stay with them as a cover.
When the Rong people discovered them, they told the Rong people all the movements of the Qin army, so as to win the trust of the Rong people and save their lives.
Although this crooked attack happened to make the Rong soldiers enter the river valley according to the ambush of Zhu Lihua, their ugly faces still made Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu, who had been persuading them hard, feel extremely disgusted.
So the Rong army who fled back was in order to vent his anger
When massacring the people in the forest, Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu were very eager for those Rong people to be able to slaughter all these clan nobles.
What made them speechless was that when they finally escaped from Ascension to Heaven under the escort of Madame Yin and Gongzi Hui under the command of Ma Yuan, they found that those clan nobles had also returned to Longmen intact.
I really don't know if it's God's injustice or if they're too lucky.
That night, there were too many people who died, but among the nobles who died, only Wen Zhaoyuan, who struggled to protect Lady Yin and fought to the death with several Rong people.
After returning to Longmen, Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu finally didn't want to see these nobles who had returned to the sound of dogs and horses.
They don't seem to feel that they are at fault at all, and they still look like they are proud every day.
After discussion, Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu came to the Yellow Sky Fortress, and came to the only place in the last days of the Great Qin that allowed them to have a glimmer of hope.
"Master Gu, don't mention this matter in the future, you have all gone through nine deaths and a lifetime, so it's good to come back. As long as we live, there will be a day of revenge. ”
Zhu Lihua said to Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu Shili, who had gloomy faces and a little angry looks. It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Daoyuan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and whispered: "If we can follow the arrangement of General Hexi and General An, when those Rong people arrive at Xiemapo, we will already cross the river and leave." Where could so many people have died? ”
Gu Daoyuan lowered his head, but everyone heard the trembling in the voice of this former powerful Qin.
If it were an ordinary year, I am afraid that the death of thousands of people would be nothing more than a string of cold numbers in the eyes of Lord Zaizuka, but that night, on the slope of Xiema, this Lord Zaizuka saw the innocent lives that died in vain in front of them because of these powerful people.
There are thousands of these lives, and under the screams and sorrows of women, children, old and children, how can this old man not be sad.
"Master Gu, I, Lihua, swore to avenge these people, they killed so many Quwo people, and killed so many soldiers, how can I let them continue to be free."
Gu Daoyuan, who had been in the court for a long time, had long been in charge of attacking each other, and listened to Lihua's calm and slightly indifferent words, and he already understood the object of revenge that Lihua referred to in his words.
He glanced up at Zhu Lihua, who was talking coldly, and then looked at the people in the hall, but found that except for Zhang Ziyu and a few people who were also a little stunned with himself, the rest of the people, those generals under Zhu Lihua, seemed quite calm.
They listened to Zhu Lihua's words as if they had heard a promise that could no longer be normal.
Looking at Zhang Ziyu, Gu Daoyuan saw a deep jealousy in the eyes of his old partner.
Throughout the ages, although there are many people who dare to take revenge on those clan relatives and nobles, there are not many who take it for granted as Li Hua said.
This made Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu realize from the bottom of their hearts that they were afraid that Lihua's words were not just momentary angry words.
Yu Lihua soon stopped talking about Quwo with Gu Daoyuan and the others, but announced his decision in public, that is, only Wei Yuanqi led an army of 30,000 to guard the Dragon Gate and the Yellow Sky Fortress. The rest of the people retreated to Hedong County.
Subsequently, Zhu Lihua made detailed arrangements and requirements for his generals to send troops to Hedong County.
However, Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu, who were listening, could clearly see that this Lihua was obviously preparing to use Hedong County as his base to focus on management, and Longmen and Huangtian Fortress were just symbols of retaining a glimmer of hope for a counterattack.
Gu Daoyuan suddenly realized at this time, it seems that in Quwo City more than half a year ago, when Lihua asked Xiao Wen for Hedong County, he had already thought of the way back.
But at that time, Hedong County was still the land of Qi State, how could this Lihua pin his hopes on the land of other countries. It is not too unusual to say that taking precautions is a necessary ability of the ancient generals, but it is not an exaggeration to say that this is only a god.
Gu Daoyuan suddenly found that he seemed to be a little unable to see through the young man in front of him who couldn't even walk.
Looking at his face, he calmly made some detailed arrangements and instructions for the details of his subordinates after entering Hedong.
Looking at his not aged face but seemed to exude an incomparably trustworthy confidence, Gu Daoyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that he is indeed old, and this world belongs to young people after all.
The Rong people beat the Qin State to only the city of Longmen, the Huangtian Ferry, and the former huge empire collapsed and also knocked himself and the old ministers of Great Qin to the mortal world.
Those Rong people on horseback were like a wildfire that would never be extinguished, burning the forest and grassland of Daqin to ashes. And the Lihua is like a new seedling breaking out of the black scorched earth after a wildfire, as bright and full of hope.
"Lord Gu, going to Hedong County is bound to have a long-term confrontation with the Rong people. But Hedong County, we are only temporary, but we have never operated. In the past two or three years, the counties under my jurisdiction have produced a lot of grain and grass, which is enough for the existing soldiers and horses. However, being stationed in Hedong County for a long time still needs to have a stable rear, so that the soldiers have a lot less worries about fighting in the front.
Therefore, after thinking about it, I still want to ask your old man and Master Si Kou to help me, so that it is better than letting our inexperienced juniors concentrate on two purposes and lose the location and people.
I wonder if Lord Zaizuka may agree to manage the affairs of Hedong's civil affairs? ”
Zhu Lihua's words woke Gu Daoyuan up from his thoughts, he frowned and was slightly stunned, and then said to Zhu Lihua: "General Hexi is too modest, the general is full of talents, General Xizi and Gao and Liang generals are all handsome men who can write and martial arts, how can they use me, a person who is half of his body in the ground." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Daoyuan suddenly thought of something, and after looking at the expectant eyes of Zhu Lihua, he smiled slightly and said:
"I'm afraid that General Hexi doesn't want the old man to be in charge of Hedong affairs, but wants me and Zhang Sikou to suppress the local nobles of Hedong County." Gu Daoyuan said as he looked at Zhang Ziyu, who was staring thoughtfully at Li Hua after suddenly realizing it.
I saw Zhang Ziyu immediately say: "Gu Zaizuka, as a courtier of Great Qin, it is within my duty to share the worries of the king. Although the monarch and the middle and greater people have not yet received Hedong County, the good intentions of General Hexi do coincide with Zhang's thoughts.
General Hexi is fighting abroad, and you and I are working together to consolidate the locality, and this kind of complementary move is indeed the right way. Gu Zaizuka should not hesitate. ”
Listening to Zhang Ziyu's words, Gu Daoyuan looked at his old partner who had been with him for more than ten years in surprise, and couldn't believe that such words would come out of Zhang Ziyu's mouth.
