Chapter 481: Wei Qing goes north

Li Dang's bluffing offensive lasted for a certain period of time and was already overstretched, and he was about to show his horse's feet, which led to the failure of the operation, and at the last moment, the news of Qincheng's defeat of the Xiongnu White Wolf King came, and Yi Zhi was helpless, so he led the army to retreat and camp one hundred and ten miles to the west.

The next day, when the defeated sergeants of the White Wolf King came back to report to Yi Zhi that it was only Qincheng's 4,000 hussars who had defeated them, Yi Zhi knew that he had fallen into a trick and missed a great opportunity, and he regretted that when he wanted to bring to justice those sentry cavalry who had lied about the military situation, he could not find anyone. Yi Zhixian was furious, and immediately ordered the army to advance eastward at full speed, intending to take advantage of the unstable relationship between the Han army and the three tribes of the grassland to launch a decisive battle and decide the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop.

"Since the army set out for ten months, our great Hun warriors have not been able to set foot in the Han realm for half a step, but have lost their troops and lost their generals, and the Huns have never had such a huge shame! Now, this single order is given to the army, to the east, looking for the main force of the Han army to fight a decisive battle, and the victory will be determined in one fell swoop! When Yi Zhi threw this decision out in the big tent, he was greeted by the silence of the crowd.

After the silence lasted for a long time, someone said: "Da Shan Yu, this expedition, the army has lost nearly half of the army, the army has no morale, and has lost the ability to continue fighting, besides, Liu An has been defeated, and we have no reinforcements in the territory of the Han people, so there is no need for this battle to continue...... It's better to quit the army right now. ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhixian became furious and shouted, "What did you say? Unexpectedly, the nonsense shook the hearts of the army, and pulled out to beat fifty whips! ”

"Big Shan Yu, please think twice!" Someone stood up again, objected to Yi Zhixie's opinion, Yi Zhixie's anger not only did not play a role in deterring everyone, but intensified the contradictions that had been accumulated in his department for two months, the Xiongnu king was very straight, he looked directly at Yi Zhixie: "The Han army now has the assistance of the Wuhuan three tribes, the troops are not under us, and they are full of vitality, now the two armies are in a decisive battle, my big Huns may not be able to get any advantage!" ”

"It is because the Han army has just united with the Wuhuan three clans, and the foundation is unstable, we have a chance to take advantage of it, if the alliance between the Han army and the Wuhuan clan is consolidated, it will be difficult for us to win!" Yi Zhi looked back angrily, "This war is related to the life and death of my Great Huns, how can we lose without a fight?!" ”

"What Da Shan Yu said is not bad, but Da Shan Yu has ever thought about it, and if more than half of the army is damaged, he will theoretically lose the ability to continue fighting! Moreover, the 100,000 warriors in the camp now are the last remaining elite soldiers of our Great Huns, if there is another case, then the Han army will drive straight into Mobei, and the countries of the Western Regions will be eyeing each other, who else can defend our pastures, protect our cattle and sheep, and protect our relatives? The Hun said that he was emotional, knelt down, and hissed: "Please Da Dan Yu for the sake of the future of the Huns, take back his life, and save the lives of these warriors!" ”

"Please think twice about big orders!" And they all bowed down on one knee.

"You ......" Yi Zhi's slanted lips trembled for a while, and then he sat back on the king's chair, his hands clenched into fists, and slammed on the desk.

........................................

After defeating the Xiongnu White Wolf King, more than half of the 4,000 hussars led by Qin Cheng suffered casualties, and after the battlefield was cleaned up, Li Kang also led his army back and reported to Qin Cheng the news of Yizhi's retreat. A day later, the main force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Great Han Dynasty and the Wuhuan Three Clans Coalition Army led by Liu Mu Qin Qingzhi rushed over and joined Qin Cheng and others. When King Wuhuan learned that Qin Cheng had defeated the White Wolf King's 20,000 army with only 4,000 men and repelled more than 100,000 Yizhi with a vanguard force, he was speechless for a long time in shock. Of course, there was even more surprising news for King Wuhuan and King Xianbei, that is, Li Dang equipped the hussars with their cavalry robes and attacked Yizhixian. Of course, things are dead, people are alive, of course Qin Cheng will not bluntly say that he conspired to tie Wuhuan and Xianbei to the chariot of the Han Dynasty, although everyone can see the facts clearly, but in the case that Wuhuan and Xianbei have no choice, Qin Cheng has to give people a step down, so rhetoric is necessary.

After knowing all the news, the most calm and indifferent of the three kings of the three tribes of the grassland is Xiao Amid, he is the first of the three to drop the chain, and now the greater the victory of the Han army, the more embarrassing the situation faced by King Wuhuan and King Xianbei, his incompetence will be lighter. The most important thing is that now the Amid clan has no choice, and he naturally doesn't want Wuhuan and Xianbei to have other choices with contrary interests.

"The Hun army has been at the end of the crossbow after this defeat, as long as we work together, it is not difficult to defeat them, and now it is at a critical juncture, I hope everyone will recognize the situation, work together, and work together to end this war as soon as possible, and return peace to the grassland!" Qin Cheng deliberately said to King Wuhuan and King Xianbei.

"What General Qin said is very true, and even ......" King Wuhuan and King Xianbei both said so, what choice do the two of them have now?

At this point, Qin Cheng used his strength and wisdom to completely turn the possible threat of the Wuhuan clan into the help of the Han army.

Soon after, the news of Yi Zhi's retreat to the north reached the Han army camp, and this military situation made everyone feel a little puzzled while being shocked.

"Yi Zhixian just retreated? It is said that he still has an army of 100,000 people, and he has never fought a decisive battle, so he retreated in such a gray manner? King Wuhuan looked at everyone suspiciously, his problem was also a common problem for many people, at this time, everyone set their eyes on Qin Cheng, waiting for him to come up with an explanation.

"Since the beginning of this campaign, the Xiongnu have lost half of their troops so far, and they have not yet achieved any advantage, and the civil strife in the Han Dynasty has basically subsided, and the Xiongnu see that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it, and it is not impossible for Yizhi to lead the army to retreat north." Qin Cheng analyzed.

"If there is no good chance of decisive battle, or the decisive battle cannot be won, resulting in the loss of the main force, this will be a fatal blow to the Huns who poured out of the nest, and they will not even have the ability to protect themselves in a short period of time. Yanagi nodded in agreement and gave his opinion.

"The enemy retreats and I advance, this is what the general often says, now the Huns are defeated and retreat, the last general thinks that it is a good time to pursue, and the Huns must not be given a chance to recuperate!" Qin Qingzhi said more directly.

"That's right, destroy the Huns and fight here!" Le Yi also said.

"Since everyone has the same opinion, then without further ado, Ben will now give an order to pass on the whole army and pursue the Xiongnu to the north!" Qin Cheng made a decision.

"No!"

The army then cooked, gathered in the village, and prepared for the expedition.

When Le Yi was studying the details of the battle with Qin Cheng, he was a little worried: "This battle has been going on so far, there is not much grain and grass in the army, and the spare ordnance is about to run out. ”

Qin Cheng touched his chin and said in a deep voice, "This is a problem. ”

"......." Le Yi.

............................................

The army marched to the northwest, and when approaching Gaoque Pass, Qin Cheng led a small number of hussars to break away from the main force and rush to Gaoque Pass. When he arrived at Gaoque Pass, he learned from the left-behind soldiers that Huo Qubing had chased the retreating Hun cavalry to the northwest and had been walking for two days.

At that time, Yi Zhi led the main force to the east to find the main force of the Han army for a decisive battle, in order to prevent Huo Qubing from attacking from behind, leaving a part of the cavalry to continue to stay outside the Gaoque Pass, after which Yi Zhi led the army to retreat north, these cavalry were naturally ordered to retreat, Huo Qubing was at this time with six or seven thousand cavalry to chase out.

"This guy is really restless, I should have expected him to be like this." Qin Cheng sighed helplessly.

General Huo said that the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, even without the order of the general, the great fighter plane cannot be let go. General Huo also said that even if General Qin knew about it, he would agree to him doing so. The general added with a smile.

"This kid is going to excuse himself. If the result is good, Ben Jiang will naturally not blame him, but if the harvest is small, Ben will never spare him! Qin Cheng scolded with a smile, and immediately asked himself in his heart: Will Huo Quai, the god of war who has never been defeated in his life, fail?

Of course not.

Qin Cheng was about to leave Gaoque Pass to catch up with the brigade, when suddenly a sergeant came to report that a large group of Han troops had come from the south, and they were transporting grain, grass and ordnance. When the general got the news, he asked Qin Cheng if he wanted to go and see. Qin Cheng didn't want to go, but thinking that the army didn't have much food, grass and ordnance, he wanted to bring a long knife with him, and it was okay to go back to the army earlier, so he decided to go and have a look.

When he saw the general escorting grain, grass and ordnance, Qin Cheng's eyes lit up, and then he laughed.

"Brother Wei? Haha, the dignified General Sima has been reduced to the level of a grain and grass escort officer? Qin Cheng smiled and walked towards the grain and grass escort officer, while not forgetting to joke.

The person who came was Wei Qing.

"Brother Qin!" When Wei Qing saw Qin Cheng, he was also surprised and surprised, "Brother Qin happens to be here, such a coincidence!" How's the war going? ”

"Yizhi has retreated, and the army is in pursuit." Qin Cheng said, "Minyue's matter is solved?" You're really fast, didn't you come from Minyue non-stop? ”

"Yi Zhi retreated? So it's already a big win? As Brother Qin expected, as soon as the war between Fujian and Vietnam was settled, he was sent here by His Majesty. Wei Qingdao, a little regretful, "I originally wanted to go north to compete with Yi Zhixian, but I didn't expect Yi Zhixian to lose so early, but Brother Qin moved so fast!" ”

"Yi Zhixian is not a big defeat, there are still battles, let me explain it to you in detail."
