Chapter 113: Withdrawal

After a long time, Tian Yan regained his composure and said gloomily: "Envoy, take a rest, after all, the matter of withdrawing troops is important, how about discussing it with his subordinates first?" ”

At this time, he was not ready to raise troops, and it was not so easy to capture Hangzhou, and more than 20,000 troops led by Yang Wu and Wang Maozhang were in Huzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shang Gongnai raised his eyes to look at the generals around him, and saw that there was a look of disgrief on their faces, and he knew that he couldn't be persecuted too much, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the news of Tian Envoy." However, the king said that if he did not withdraw the army within three days, he would let General Wang Maozhang come to be the assassin of Xuanzhou! ”

After Shang Gongnai retreated, the first to stand up were Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi: "Qi Tian Shuai, I waited for the army to besiege Hangzhou for several months, fighting day and night, seeing that the city was about to be broken, and now Yang Xingmi wants to let our army retreat with a word, this matter must not be agreed!" ”

These two people fought with Huainan when they were under Sun Ru and Qian Biao successively, and now after betraying Qian Biao and taking refuge in Tian Yu, they naturally have no respect for Yang Xingmi; What's more, among the generals present, their desire to break through Hangzhou was only afraid that they were not under Tian Yan, and they were also unwilling to withdraw at this time.

The rest of the generals such as Wang Tan, Wang Jian, Guo Xing and others all agreed, but his subordinate Kang Ru stood up and said: "Qi Qi envoy, since the king has issued a military order for the envoy to withdraw the army, his subordinates think that it is natural for his subordinates to obey the order of the lord, so the envoy should obey the military order and withdraw immediately." ”

Kang Ru is also a veteran under Tian Yan, and the credit for the establishment is not a few, the last time Gu Quanwu led the Yuezhou army to raid the raid, it was he who led his troops to resolutely resist, which avoided further defeat. However, he has an upright personality and has always had something to say, and he often disagrees with Tian Yan during military discussions.

Tian Yan's face suddenly darkened, although he already planned to withdraw the army in his heart, but he was only afraid that Yang Xingmi would really appoint Wang Maozhang as the new Xuanzhou assassin, and then cut off his way back; Kang Ru's opinion made him obediently obey orders, which naturally made him dissatisfied.

Before he could speak, Wang Tan and other generals in the field scolded, "Kang Ru, the envoy has always treated you well, do you want to be ungrateful and ready to take refuge in Huainan?" ”

Kang Ru's face remained unswerving: "I was originally a general in Huainan, how can I talk about the word refuge?" And all the generals here, including Tian Yuanjun, aren't they all Huainan generals? ”

Wang Tan's face sank and said: "Tian Envoy Jun is the envoy of the Ning State Army canonized by the imperial court, and this general is a general under Tian Envoy Jun, who only knows that he is loyal to Tian Envoy Jun, what does it have to do with King Wu of Huainan?" ”

Although logically speaking, the Tang Dynasty had not yet fallen at this time, it is reasonable for Wang Tan to say that Tian Yan was canonized by the imperial court. But everyone who was actually present knew that most of the generals present, including Tian Yan, were generals who followed Yang Xingmi back then, so they could naturally be regarded as Huainan's generals, not to mention that the holy decree brought by Li Yan some time ago also reiterated the fact that Ning Guojun listened to Yang Xingmi's order. Therefore, Wang Tan's words are obviously strong words.

Kang Ru was about to refute, but he saw the main seat of the upper field shouting in a deep voice: "Enough! ”

Then he swept his cold gaze towards Kang Ru, stared at Kang Ru for a long time before saying: "General Kang is so loyal to the king, this commander admires it!" It's just that I don't know when the king is going to add an official to General Kang? ”

"Make the ......"

Kang Ru did not betray Tian Yan's ideas, but he also did not approve of Tian Yan's idea of turning away from Huainan's independent side.

During this period of time, especially after Tian Yan came back from Guangling last time, Kang Ru saw that Tian Yan and many generals of Xuanzhou were getting farther and farther away from Huainan, from the beginning, there were only words and deeds that were dissatisfied with Huainan in secret, until now the generals openly declared that they had nothing to do with Huainan, and his heart was full of worries, and he always felt that he could not go on like this, so he spoke out to persuade Tian Yan.

However, instead of listening to his advice, Tian Yan became suspicious of him. Listening to Tian Yan's mocking words, Kang Ru's heart couldn't help but feel cold.

Tian Yan waved his hand and ordered without waiting for him to say more: "The order is to prepare to withdraw the army!" Mr. Yin, you can go into the city and have a good talk with Qian Biao! ”

He already knew what he wanted to know, if he rebelled, many generals present would definitely support him except Kang Ru, and with this understanding, nothing else mattered.

As for Kang Ru, this person has been following Tian Yan for more than ten years, and he has a lot of prestige in the Xuanzhou army, and his ability is also very good, so although Kang Ru has repeatedly disagreed with him, he has not killed Kang Ru. Of course, at this time, Tian Yan's dissatisfaction with Kang Ru in his heart has also reached its peak, and it may break out at any time.

"Jie Shuai! You can't withdraw it! Wouldn't it be in vain for me to retreat at this time? The generals of the altar shouted.

"Okay, we are all generals under King Wu, and the king told me to wait for three days to withdraw the army, how dare this general disobey the military order?" After speaking, Tian Yan glanced at Kang Ru with a smile.

"Make you understand the righteousness, and the last general will be impressed!" Kang Ru originally thought that Tian Yan was going to fall out with Yang Xingmi this time, but he didn't expect that he finally decided to withdraw the army, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

It's a pity that he didn't know that this incident strengthened Tian Yan's rebellious heart, and the reason why he didn't rebel at this time was just that he wasn't ready.

"Marshal, even if you want to withdraw the army, there are still three days, please let the last general lead the army to make one last attempt, the last general is willing to personally lead the dead to charge, and will not retreat without breaking the inner city!"

"Yes, please let the Admiral do one last charge!" Many generals below shouted, obviously unwilling to withdraw their troops.

"Alright, let's all go back and get ready! Ben Shuai has decided to withdraw his troops, you don't need to say anything more! Tian Yan's face sank and he said sharply. Only then did the generals know that he had made up his mind, and it was difficult to persuade him, so he had to take his leave and go back.

On the same day, Yin Wengui entered the inner city of Hangzhou on behalf of Tian Yan to negotiate with Qian Biao about the withdrawal of the army, and two days later, the two sides reached an agreement on the withdrawal of troops, and the Xuanzhou army began to retreat slowly.

Since then, the war caused by the rebellion launched by Wu Yongdu's left and right commands Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi finally ended after lasting more than three months.

Overall, Huainan is of course the party that has benefited the most, not only getting the two large states of Suzhou and Huzhou, but also paying an extremely weak price; Qian Biao was naturally the party with the greatest losses, while losing two large states, Hangzhou was also in ruins because of the war, and even other states and counties showed signs of instability, and there were successive rebellions in the next few years in history; As for Tian Yan, he worked hard for so long, not to mention the loss of troops, but in the end he didn't get anything, but indirectly helped Huainan drag Qian Biao's army in Hangzhou, which should be regarded as the most depressed party.
