Chapter 133: Deliberations in the Imperial Court

Since the Wei army had engaged the Zhenbei army a few days earlier, they had retreated to the shore of Baishui Lake on the border side of Rouran, and these days were surprisingly calm, and Tuoba Xu did not lead his troops to attack again.

In the camp, Tuoba Xu was furious, this time in a battle with the Zhenbei army, nearly 8,000 Wei troops died in the territory of the West Sea, and thousands of people were injured, and now many sergeants in the army died after being seriously injured.

Tuoba Xu's heart was in turmoil, because what was even more terrifying was that the weather was hot now, and many wounded sergeants had suppurated and grown maggots, and now the soldiers in the camp were disheartened, if the Xiliang army came to attack at this time, I am afraid it would be a victory without a fight.

"General Wang, have all the sergeants who made trouble last night been dealt with?" Tuoba Xu asked coldly.

"General Qiqi, Feng San, who took the lead in making trouble last night, has been beheaded to show the public, and everyone under his command has received fifty military sticks, but now there is a lack of medicine to treat wounds in the army, and many sergeants in the camp have died these days, so please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, this general has his own arrangements in his heart, you go down first, and strictly order the sergeants of all battalions, if they dare to spread rumors again, they will be severely punished." Tuoba Xu waved his hand and said impatiently.

"The general is relieved, the last general will retire."

Tuoba Xu looked at the empty tent and sighed, last night the battalion chief Feng San witnessed his brother die tragically due to serious injuries in the camp, and killed the military medical officer in the camp, causing the army to almost roar the camp, which made Tuoba Xu's heart extremely angry.

If it is those who are slightly injured, they may be able to save it, but those who are seriously injured can only do their best to obey the fate of God, and if they are lucky, they can still save a life.

"Someone comes, call General Wei Chi immediately, there must be no mistake." Tuoba Xu was distraught for a while, and said loudly outside the tent.

"Yes." The guards outside the tent replied.

After a while, a man in black armor with a long beard walked in and saluted Tuoba Xu.

"The last general, Chi Heng, visited the general, I don't know what the general has to order?"

"General Wei Chi, you're here, sit down. I didn't expect the Xiliang Army to have such combat power, this battle of our army's group of nearly 8,000 sergeants, and thousands of sergeants were injured, and now the army is unstable, what can General Wei Chi do? ”

"General, my Great Wei warriors are slightly better than the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army, but the long knife array of the Zhenbei Army is really difficult to crack, and those sergeants with long knives are almost one in a hundred warriors, and their blades are shattered, which is terrifying. Now that our army has been newly defeated, the army's morale is unstable, and I am afraid that we will not be able to fight with the Xiliang army again, so it is better for the general to write a letter to ask the general to send troops, so there is still a chance of victory. ”

"What do you say? If the general learns that Ben will lose his troops and lose his generals, he will inevitably ask His Majesty to join me, and Ben will not be able to escape the responsibility at that time. Tuoba Xu got up and said when he heard this.

"General, now our soldiers and horses are almost the same as the Xiliang army, and the brothers in the army are already afraid, this place is only fifty or sixty miles away from Xihai City, and the Xiliang army can arrive in half a day. And the soldiers and horses of the Yinshan battalion are based on this three-day itinerary, if they are delayed, they are afraid of changes. Wei Chiheng said anxiously.

"And Rong Ben will think about it, you go down first."

Tuoba Xu felt how unwise it was to send troops to attack the West Sea at this moment, and he thought that the Great Wei warriors who would kill the Rouran people thousands of miles away would be overwhelmed in the face of soldiers and horses like the Xiliang Army, but he didn't expect that he would suffer heavy losses in the first battle.

Just when Tuoba Xu was upset, a sergeant outside the tent hurriedly ran in sweating, and Tuoba Xu was about to reprimand.

"General, the general has sent someone."

"What?" Tuoba Xu's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"General, Liu Changshi came to give the order on the order of the general, and now he has just entered the camp and is coming towards the big tent of the Chinese army."

"Quick, follow Ben will go out."

Jiuquan City, in the palace of the king of Liang. The battle in the West Sea has been transmitted back to Jiuquan, and last night Li Wei received Li Yan's play, and the Zhenbei Army repelled the Wei army in the first battle in the West Sea, and captured more than 7,000 Wei troops.

Early this morning, Li Wei convened the important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to discuss the battle in the West Sea, if the Wei army poured in, the Xijun battalion needed to defend the Xiongnu army and was unable to draw troops and horses, how could it resist the Wei army.

For the Zhenbei army to repel the Wei army, Li Wei was both happy and worried, and he couldn't make a decision for a while, and now the important ministers of the court and the central government are here, so it is still necessary to discuss how to deal with the Wei army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last night General Pingbei reported urgently, the Wei army crossed the Dayun Mountain on the third day of the seventh month and was stationed on the shore of Baishui Lake, on the fifth day of the seventh month, Wei will Tuoba Xu lead more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack the West Sea, and the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army fought bloodily day and night, repelled the Wei army, and killed nearly 8,000 Wei troops, and now the Wei army has returned to the territory of Rouran, how do you think Aiqing should deal with it?"

"What?" The faces of the ministers in the palace were full of disbelief, the defeat of the Wei army in the West Sea was too shocking.

Song Xuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and Li Yan, a major event in the army, was directly delivered to the Liangwang Mansion, and he still didn't know that the Zhenbei Army had repelled the Wei army.

"Lord Wang, Pingbei General Li Yan sent troops to fight with the Wei army without authorization, and now although he has won a small victory, he has also formed a life-and-death enmity with the powerful Wei State. The minister thought that he should remove the Pingbei general Li Yan from the post of the chief general of the Zhenbei army, and sent an envoy to Pingcheng to ask the Wei lord for his guilt. Changshi Suo Xian saw that everyone was talking to each other, and then stepped forward and said.

"yes. Lord Wang, now I am in a hurry to be revived, and I must not speak of war lightly, and Li Yan, the general of Pingbei, is good at raising swords, causing the two countries to fight each other, and swords and soldiers are facing each other. The ministers thought that what Master Suo said was very true. Several ministers behind Suo Xian spoke one after another.

"Father, Yan'er is young and impulsive, I don't know what is right and wrong, and now he is rashly fighting with the Wei army, this move will trap my Daliang Sheji in danger, the child thinks it is better to remove Yan'er from the main general of the Zhenbei Army, transfer back to Jiuquan to wait for the dispatch, and General Zhu Yuanhu will take over as the chief general of the Zhenbei Army, and send people to negotiate peace with the Wei army."

"Lord Wang, Lord Suo is simply a bunch of nonsense, Tuoba Xu led more than 20,000 troops to attack my Xihai, and General Pingbei led the Zhenbei Army to fight to the death to repel the Wei army. Master Suo, don't forget, you are the courtier of Da Liang, and you are eating my Da Liang's Yulu! Hum! Ling Huyi saw that many ministers in the palace asked for the removal of Li Yanzhen, the chief general of the Northern Army, and transferred back to Jiuquan to wait for the fate, and couldn't help but blush with anger.

"Lord Linghu, it's true that Pingbei General Li Yan is your beloved son-in-law, but today's matter is a military matter, and you can't abolish the public for personal reasons. After the Wei army suffered this defeat, if the soldiers and horses of the Yinshan battalion came to attack, Xijun and Xihai would directly face the attack of the Wei army, and then we would be in danger. Yin Jianxing glanced at Ling Huyi and said proudly.

"Lord Yin, don't spew blood, Pingbei General Li Yan fought bloodily in front to protect my Daliang territory from losing, and it is really shameful to be greedy for life and afraid of death." Ling Hu Yi glared at Yin Jianxing and said coldly.

"Alright. All right! What kind of system is it that is so ugly in the court? ”
