Chapter 618: Although Northern Escape is a good policy, the black cauldron has to be carried by itself (second update)
Chapter 618
Naturally, he scolded the Han general Li Bing for being despicable and shameless, and it was really not my race, and his heart would be different, eating our Xixia's Yulu, but kneeling and licking Song Ting.
He even scolded Ye Ci Bo for being a noble person in the Ye Ci clan, one of the eight clans of the party, and serving as such an important task as the assassin of Yanzhou, but he was so timid and cowardly, so that the back road of his army was cut off, and he became a rootless water and a wandering Ping.
Although this news was strictly ordered by Sachen to be strictly guarded by the generals and not to spread it without permission, plus the soldiers here together with the disabled soldiers, there are more than 50,000 people, even if it is 50,000 quails, I am afraid that it will not be easy for the Great Song Dynasty to slaughter them.
What's more, there are still more than 50,000 heroic and fearless Western Xia warriors, not to mention that there are 20,000 elite Western Xia forbidden army who are not afraid of death: the garrison is here.
Therefore, the mood of the soldiers is quite peaceful, but the generals around Sachen are not calm.
Liang Yikui in Hongzhou will definitely not let himself come so softly, go gently, and not take away a trace of clouds. And further north, Youzhou has also been controlled by Liang Yikui's powerful general Li Mao.
The entire forts of the Jianing Military Division also fell into the hands of the Han army under Liang Yikui, and behind them, Yanzhou was occupied by the Song army, and now, these tens of thousands of troops and wounded soldiers can be said to be trapped in this dilapidated barracks.
Some generals also mentioned that if they gave up the nearly 10,000 disabled soldiers and stuck to their place, they would be able to ride lightly, and they could flee north and advance along the edge of the sand sea, whether it was facing east or west, it was a way of life.
"No, this is about the honor of my garrison, but also about the safety of my Great Xia and the face of my Great Xia, the Queen Mother has become a prisoner of the Song Kingdom, and she must not let Liang Yiqi's old dog easily descend to the Song Dynasty." A garrison commander stood up and spoke out in disagreement.
"General Fei Ting, Sa knows your feelings, but now, our army is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and there is only a way to survive to the north, if you don't go, do you still have to stay here and wait for the rebels of Song Xuan and Liang Yiqi to surround us?"
Sachen was eager to agree with the general who had proposed the Northern Escape. It's a pity that the general Fei Ting in front of him is not only the commander of the garrison, but also a strong contender for the head of the Fei Ting clan.
Although the Fei Ting clan lost troops in the south, the problem was that the eight clans of the party, no matter which one of them, were very entrenched in the party, and they were still in the same spirit.
Just like this time when he led the army south, although Sa Chen was the commander, if he encountered any problems, he had to ask Fei Ting Darong, who had been in the garrison for nearly twenty years, for advice. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to command the 20,000 garrisons.
And now, this Fei Ting Darong has such a strong opposition, which really makes Sachen, who has the heart to flee north, angry and blue, but he is helpless, because not only Fei Ting Darong, but also many arrogant generals have put forward similar reasons.
"Important, there are still nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers here, can we bear to leave these robes behind? They are all heroes who were wounded for the sake of my Great Xia, and they are also the elite divisions of my Great Xia, if we dare to leave these nearly 10,000 wounded soldiers here, General Sa, have you ever thought that you can withstand Your Majesty's anger? There is also the anger of the party Xiang Ba clan......"
Sachen glared angrily at the general who dared to threaten him. "Bastard, isn't Ben General thinking about everyone's safety? That's why you and the others gathered in the tent to discuss countermeasures. ”
"Yes, instead of staying here and sitting trapped, it is better for the army to move slowly north, although those wounded soldiers are difficult to move, there is always a way for them to retreat north with the army." A general from Yanzhou spoke.
"How to get there? They are all wounded on their legs, and the wounds have just scabbed, and if they move slightly, it is very likely that the wounds will crack open again, and when the time comes, more than half of these ten thousand brothers will probably become lame, and when the time comes, who will bear the consequences? Another general jumped out and shouted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, but if we stay here, it is very likely that it will not take a few days for a large number of Song troops to arrive, if we wait for them to join the siege with Liang Yikui, won't we lose our teachers and humiliate the country in vain?"
"What's more, let's retreat to the north, after reaching the edge of the Desha Sea, to the east, we can go to the four states of Yinxia, and to the west, we can return to Shixingqing Mansion, but it is far better than staying in this place where the enemy is attacked."
"This general, although what you said is also very reasonable, but if you just withdraw the army and return, after seeing Yanzhou fall into the Song court, and watching Liang Yikui, who has the Jianing Military Division, betray my Great Xia, when the time comes, how will you let the army master explain to Your Majesty?" Fei listened to Da Rong snort and asked the generals who supported the retreat to the north.
These words directly made the generals silent for a long time, and they all looked at Sa Chen, who was silently stroking his short beard, after all, he was the main general, and it was okay to lose Youzhou and Hongzhou, which were originally occupied by Liang Yiqi, but now, who could have expected that Yanzhou would have fallen into the hands of Song Ting.
So much so that the first thought that came to Sachen's mind was to flee north quickly, but now, Fei listened to Darong's words, which also made Sachen wake up, which is an extremely real problem.
The loss of Yanzhou is not as good as that of the Jianing Military Division, and it is very likely that he sent troops to Hongzhou and transferred a large number of troops from Yanzhou, which became the reason for those courtiers to attack themselves and impose the crime of the loss of Yanzhou on themselves.
At that time, I was afraid that I wouldn't even have time to cry, and I thought that I wanted the Sa clan to become a big party member, yes, this crime is a success, even if I don't get arrested and put in prison for questioning, but if I am cut off from office, I am afraid that it will be inevitable.
At this time, Sachen suddenly found that the burden on his shoulders was really terrible, and he felt that his shoulders and back were about to be crushed by such a heavy pressure.
No matter what kind of decision you make, as the main general, you have to bear the consequences, which is the most headache. Sachen raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the generals in front of him.
Escaping north is a good policy, but the black cauldron is definitely carried by himself, not retreating north, and staying in place for help? Hehe...... In the battle of Hongdezhai in Song Xia just before, Great Xia lost 60,000 elite divisions.
And now, because of Liang Yiqi's rebellion, Daxia not only lost another 30,000 elites, but more importantly, there are 70,000 elite divisions and some guerrillas who have also become Liang Yikui's accomplices.
It can be said that in addition to the nearly 40,000 garrisons still guarding Xingqing Mansion and the remaining 20,000 main forces of the capture army, there are not many capable soldiers in Great Xia.
