Chapter 78

There are two ways for Ma Yun to put the sweat medicine in front of Ma Yun: one is to let the soldiers who have crossed the river seize the time to rest, wait until dawn, have a full meal, and retreat towards Songzhou; Second, according to Zhao Pu's suggestion, he gave up the brigade and led the 1ooo cavalry back to Songzhou first, so that the large army continued to carry the banner of Ma Yun and circled with the white-clothed army east of the Bianhe River???

At this juncture, how could Ma Yun give up the army and escape alone? Although Zhao Pu repeatedly persuaded him, Ma Yun was still unmoved and insisted on advancing and retreating with the army. It's not that he doesn't understand the danger of the Chu army's situation, nor is it that it is inseparable from the army, so far in this field, the 60,000 troops who crossed the Bianhe River are less than 3oooo people, and the rest of the people and horses are broken in the west of the river, and the pontoon bridge has been broken, even the deputy admiral Shi Da is afraid that it will be difficult to escape, as for the general of the Guards Li Ergou is estimated to have been killed. In addition to the army, there are tens of thousands of people who can't take care of it. Most of these people were recruited from Songzhou and Haozhou, firstly to transport grain and grass, and secondly, to serve as a reserve source of soldiers to supplement the battle losses.

In the newly built Hexi camp, Ma Yun regretted and worried, and stomped back and forth. Zhao Pu on the side persuaded him: "Your Majesty, since you have decided to join the army, then, please rest your Majesty early." After dawn, let's fight and retreat. In addition, shouldn't someone be sent to inform Cao Bin, who was stationed in Songzhou, and let him lead the army to come to meet him? ”

Ma Yun sighed heavily: "Cao Aiqing's army is a new army, which was formed by the people of Xuzhou, I'm afraid it doesn't have much combat effectiveness, and it has encountered the elite of the Zhou soldiers, I'm afraid... ”

Ma Yun patted his head with remorse, if he was not in a hurry to conquer Bianjing, but built a large camp in Hexi early to confront Bianjing for a long time, I am afraid that the white-clothed army would not be so easy if he wanted to defeat the Chu army. Ay... I didn't expect the white-clothed army to be so willing to make such a big move.

Seeing Ma Yun's gloomy face, he seemed to want to cry a little, Zhao Pu knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not only uncomfortable now, but also lost confidence. In the face of the crisis, Ma Yun can still lift his spirits and constantly deploy troops, but when the crisis subsides slightly, Ma Yunden fell into self-blame. Zhao Pu was silent for a long time before he said, "Your Majesty, something is better than nothing." Besides, General Cao is good at managing troops, and in the past half a month, the men and horses of that division may have been trained into elite soldiers. Zhao Pu swallowed dryly, this was said too slowly, even he didn't believe it, he was about to add an explanation.

Ma Yun said happily: "Really? ”

Ma Yun looked at Zhao Pu, who was a little overwhelmed, with an expectant expression, and immediately understood that it was his courtiers who were comforting him, and he smiled reluctantly: "The white-clothed army is menacing, Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are people who know the soldiers, they have made such a big move, and they will definitely not let us go because we retreated to Hedong." They must have come to attack the camp. But we are infantry, or tired soldiers, we can't run away, and we can't beat if we don't run. Ay... Songzhou, Haozhou, and Xuzhou, the places of Huaibei, are empty of troops, and if we are defeated like this, I am afraid that the entire Huaibei will all fall into the hands of the Zhou army. Stealing chickens doesn't make rice! ”

Zhao Pu glanced at Ma Yun: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. After General Zhu Yuan learned the news of our withdrawal, he would definitely lead his troops south, so that Xuzhou and Haizhou would still be in our hands. As for Songzhou... We'll have a chance in the future. Your Majesty, rest early, and go to see the defense outside the camp. ”

Ma Yun waved his hand silently.

After Zhao Pu withdrew from the big tent, he immediately found Qian Qing, who was commanding the army to repair the camp. The two of them summed it up and prepared to forcibly rob Ma Yun. Ma Yun continued to stay in the camp in Hedong, I am afraid that he would be captured if he was not killed in battle, and because Ma Yun was the emperor, the Chu army in Huaibei must come to the rescue if he can. In this way, it is very likely to destroy the already precarious situation in Huaibei. Therefore, take him away by force.

But you can't go along the Bianhe River and want to enter Songzhou.

The defeat of the Chu army in the south of the city was actually a chain of buckles, because the Chu army was exhausted, so it could not resist the white-clothed army with cavalry advantage, and then, the Chu army could only move to the east of the Bianhe River, but the white-clothed army would inevitably chase and fight, so that the Chu army could only flee to Songzhou, and because Ma Yun was in the Chu army, Cao Bin of Songzhou knew that he would be defeated if he went out of the city, and he did not dare not go out of the city to rescue Ma Yun. In this way, it is very likely that the white-clothed army will be transferred from the mountain again, and Songzhou will undoubtedly be lost. As soon as Songzhou was lost, the entire Huaibei gate was opened, except for Haizhou, where there was a naval army stationed, other places could be said to be extremely empty in military strength, and even Huainan did not have many troops. In other words, the defeat of Bianjing had an extremely bad impact on the entire situation.

If this is to be avoided, there are trade-offs. Those things must be kept, and those things must be abandoned, and they must be clearly distinguished. As far as Zhao Pu is concerned, Songzhou will definitely not be able to hold it. First, Cao Bin has few soldiers, and he is still a recruit; Second, the hearts of the people in Songzhou are not attached, this place is the southern gate of Bianjing, the Zhou Dynasty has a relatively solid foundation of rule here, when the Chu army is strong, it is naturally nothing, but if the Chu army is defeated, some people may jump out to sabotage; Third, most of the grain and grass hoarded by the Zhou army in Songzhou were transported out, either taken away by Zhu Yuan or transported to Bianjing City, and now, there is no grain and grass in Songzhou City; Fourth, Songzhou was a dead land for the Chu army. Even if Cao Bin can hold Songzhou, but after the defeat of the Chu army, the entire Huai River is empty several times, even if Zhu Yuan can return to the army in time, the Chu army can barely hold the Huai River, and if you want to break through to the vicinity of Songzhou and rescue Songzhou, it will never be possible within a year or two. Fifth, Songzhou is of little value to the Chu army, why do you say that? Because the terrain around Songzhou is flat, to rescue Songzhou, first, it is necessary to use the infantry of the Chu army to resist the cavalry of the Zhou army; What's more, the cavalry came and went without a trace, if the Zhou army fought a decisive battle with the Chu army head-on, if the Zhou army played a sports war and specifically went around the back of the Chu army to cut off the grain road, then the Chu army would not be able to cope with it.

Therefore, it is better to guard Songzhou than to guard Xuzhou.

However, for Cao Bin to lead the army back to Xuzhou, there is a premise, that is, to ensure Ma Yun's safety. Otherwise, it would be better to let Cao Bin meet the Chu army in Songzhou. Therefore, Ma Yun should go east along Baigou, go to the vicinity of Yanzhou, turn to Xuzhou, and at worst, he should also go to Zhu Yuan's army. Cao Bin should abandon Songzhou and surrender to Xuzhou. Songzhou and Xuzhou are very close to each other, and if Qian Qing's troops can be entangled with the white-clothed army for a day, then Cao Bin will definitely be able to withdraw to Xuzhou safely.

After listening to Zhao Pu's analysis, Qian Qing nodded again and again. The two of them found a military doctor, made a pair of calming medicines, and soaked them in tea. Ma Yun was irritable in his heart, and when he saw that Zhao Pu sent snacks and tea, he didn't suspect it, so he drank it casually. After drinking it, I felt groggy and a little like I wanted to sleep. At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and there was a shout of killing everywhere.
