Chapter 1427: The Conspiracy Emerges
After Chen Ren returned to his camp, he looked at the map in front of him, his face was gloomy, why did Brother Xiao Wei attack Yan Zongbi, he knew the Tao here, it was nothing more than fighting with Boyan and the two of them, but fighting for merit could not throw aside the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops.
"No, I have to ask General Boyan to send troops to respond." Chen Ren thought about it, or hurriedly wrote to Bo Yan, it will take time for Xiao Wei to finish attacking Yan Zongbi, even if Yan Zongbi has any plans, it will take time to arrange, at this time, the best way is to let Bo Yan lead the army westward, unite with Xiao Wei as soon as possible, solve Yan Zongbi together, and turn passive into active.
It's a pity that he didn't know that even if Boyan noticed some problems at this time, he didn't have enough troops to solve the matter, and Boyan, who was far away in the east, had already found the problem, and the gold lord Wanyan Sheng led the army, returned to the division thousands of miles, and killed it into the grassland, which was only a hundred miles away from him.
"I didn't expect Wan Yan Sheng to personally lead the army to come, if we hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid we would have been calculated by Wan Yan Sheng." Shulu said with some rejoicing.
"The general still has a worried face, is he worried that Yan Sheng has other calculations?" Li Guang touched his beard and said, "This person is leading a large army to come at this time, I'm afraid it is to resist us, lest we threaten Wanyan Zongbi's grain and grass." ”
"If that's the case, just add some soldiers and horses to protect it, or let other generals lead the army, instead of coming in person." Bo Yan's face was solemn, looking at everything on the map, there were a total of five routes, three black represented the Tang army, Bo Yan, Lu Shisang and Xiao Weige, and two red lines represented Wan Yan Sheng and Wan Yan Zongbi. The five lines are clearly distinguished, and they check and balance each other.
"Wan Yan Zongbi has been completely cleaned up by us at this time, and there is almost no food and grass, and at this time, Wan Yan Sheng may have come to cover his retreat." Yang Zaixing thought for a while and said: "Approaching an army of more than 100,000 people, once the losses are exhausted, I am afraid that the Jin people really have no strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Retreat!" Bo Yan's face was stunned for a moment, and soon his face changed greatly, he looked at the map and said: "Although Wanyan Zongbi is short of grain and grass, it has not yet reached the point where the grain and grass are exhausted. ”
"Brother Xiao Wei has his back to Wuchuan and sits in Jiutaitan, I believe it will be difficult to make a detour!" Shulu shook his head and said.
"What if Brother Xiao Wei takes the initiative to pursue Yan Zongbi? Wanyan Zongbi took the initiative to retreat, and in the case of Wanyan Sheng dragging us, General Lu Shisang was all infantry and could not support it, and Wanyan Zongbi had every chance to defeat General Xiao Weige's soldiers and horses. Li Guang understands the situation, and Brother Xiao Wei's personal character also knows a little. Although this person is loyal to Li Jing, he is very unconvinced by Boyan's age, he was just a slave back then, and now he is on an equal footing with him, if he can defeat Yan Zongbi, it is enough to make Xiao Wei the first person in the cavalry, and Xiao Wei will not give up such an opportunity.
"This, how is this good? General, we must make a decision at once and meet General Xiao Weige to the west. Yang Zaixing's face changed greatly, he lost Brother Xiao Wei's hundreds of thousands of troops, Boyan's hundreds of thousands of troops must not be protected, the situation on the grassland will change dramatically in an instant, and Datang will even lose the grassland.
"It's late, Wan Yansheng has a plan for today, and he won't let us leave easily." Boyan shook his head and said, "Now I can only hope that General Xiao Wei will not be fooled, let alone be greedy for merit." ”
"Either way, we're going to be prepared for the worst." Li Guang said: "First, play the Son of Heaven, please Your Majesty strengthen the defense of the nine sides; second, in the name of the general, ordered the steppe tribes to move westward; Third, the general also needs to be prepared to retreat, even if he is forced by Wan Yan Sheng, he must be ready to leave here, General Xiao is fine, Wan Yan Sheng will only respond to Yan Zongbi and will withdraw, if General Xiao has something, Wan Yan Sheng will take over the grassland, it will take time, we can still preserve the living force, and when we get to the west, we will meet General Gao Chong and General Lin Chong, and it is still possible to maintain the western grassland. ”
"That's all there is to it now, hopefully!" Boyan didn't go on, the relationship between himself and Brother Xiao Wei was also very clear in Boyan's heart, so he didn't lead the army with Brother Xiao Wei, in order to avoid fighting, but he didn't expect that now he would become like this, and Boyan regretted it a little in his heart.
"Let's do it! Either way, we need to try it too. Bo Yan looked at the three people around him and said, "Shulu, you escort Lord Li and order all tribes to march west immediately, and General Yang and I retreated while resisting Yan Sheng's pursuit. ”
"Yes." The three of them responded one after another, but they were extremely angry in their hearts, the situation that was supposed to be won, if they didn't get it right, they would be ruined by Brother Xiao Wei. Although it has not happened yet, everyone knows that when Yan Sheng appeared, the situation in the grassland changed, and if a decision was not made earlier, I am afraid that the situation would become even more out of control, and even the hundreds of thousands of troops under Boyan may not be able to keep it.
Just when everyone was about to retreat, Brother Xiao Wei, who was eager for meritorious service, finally ignored Chen Ren's dissuasion, and issued an order to pursue Yan Zongbi, and the 100,000 army pulled out the camp and set up camp, and killed Yan Zongbi in a mighty way, they crossed the Great Wall of the Jin people, destroyed the camp left by the Jin people, and victory seemed to be in sight.
Jiutai Beach, Chen Ren walked around in the big tent, his face was anxious, Brother Xiao Wei sent someone to send the news, and he sang all the way, but Chen Ren noticed the problem, Wanyan Zongbi actually didn't resist at all, as if he was letting Brother Xiao Wei pursue, this is obviously not in line with the style of Wanyan Zongbi, a veteran on the battlefield, and he didn't even have the least broken back, which is obviously not in line with common sense. It's a pity that all this, in the eyes of Brother Xiao Wei, has become a manifestation of the exhaustion of food and grass, and the army is about to rout, and the pursuit is even more powerful. Chen Ren had no choice but to send a message to Xiao Shangren to persuade Brother Xiao Wei.
"Did you send someone to inform General Xiao Shangren? He can dissuade General Xiao. Chen Ren looked at the soldiers who walked in outside, and asked anxiously.
"Major General Xiao has already gone in person, but I don't know if I can dissuade the old general, I believe he will reply soon." The soldiers hurriedly replied.
"Hey, I hope it can be done!" Chen Ren thought about it, but still said: "Let the soldiers prepare, there is news from the front line, ready to meet General Xiao." Chen Ren believes that no matter what, he should be prepared.
