Chapter 1380 Final Choice
"Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that Hou Zhen be summoned quickly, and Yanhu should quickly discuss and strive to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be to the Vietnamese army." Guo Xiaoyan proposed to Han Yanxi.
Time waits for no man!
Missed opportunity, it's strange that Yang Yue doesn't extort!
Han Yanxi shuttled back and forth in the tent, and when he was young, he looked at Qin Yue and shouted: "Qin Yue, immediately send escorts, go to Osprey Ferry, Jinshakou, summon Hou Zhen, Yanhu return to the tent, and in addition, summon the generals in the barracks."
Hearing this, Qin Yue saluted Han Yanxi and walked out of the tent quickly.
On that day, the Vietnamese army was in a panic, although the Yan army had withdrawn, but if it suddenly came from the north, it would still be on guard.
Han Yanxi sent heavy troops to assemble in the southern mountain passes of Huangyu Mountain to guard against the Vietnamese army going and returning.
At dusk, Yan Cai did not turn back to kill, Hou Zhen, Yan Hu and many middle-level generals of the Vietnamese army gathered in the tent one after another.
The generals gathered, Guo Xiaoyan explained the situation of the Yue army to the generals, and asked: "Generals, the western front has been defeated, and the Yan Emperor of the Eastern Front personally led the troops to seize the imperial city.
If you have any objections from the generals, you might as well raise them directly!"
Defeat on the Western Front?
When the generals heard this, they were astonished.
Emperor Yan on the eastern front led the Yan cavalry to seize the imperial city, so that the Yue army of Huangyu Mountain would lose its foundation and support to the duckweed on the water, the pavilion in the air.
Wouldn't there be no last defense on the Western Front?
However, the generals knew that the prince was captured alive, the grain and grass were plundered by the Yan army, and soon after, the Vietnamese army on the front line of Huangyu Mountain would be in a state of lack of food and clothing.
It is easy to be completely annihilated by the Yan army and seize the last territory of Yue.
"Lord Guo, is there no other way than to surrender to the Yan Kingdom?" A general stepped forward, saluted Guo Xiaoyan, and asked loudly.
Yue Guo and Yan Guo have been fighting for many years, both hands on the blood of the war horse, now, the Yue army is defeated, the territory is controlled, the soldiers are killed, and they surrender to Yan at the most difficult time, not to mention whether the Vietnamese soldiers agree, whether Yan Guo accepts it is still difficult to predict.
"If there is a better way, this official will never recommend that the emperor surrender to the Yan country, years of war, the Yue country has lost more than the victory, and the male casualties are very large, at present, there are more than 200,000 Vietnamese troops in Huangyu Mountain, if all of them die on the battlefield, the Vietnamese army will suffer more casualties." Guo Xiaoyan said loudly.
He is selfish, but he doesn't want the Yue men to fight to the death with the Yan army when they have no chance of winning and lose their lives in vain.
"Can't you surrender to the State of Chu and the State of Wu, Lord Guo, you have to know that for several days in a row, the Yan army killed 60,000 Yue troops in Huxiao Mountain, defeated 20,000 Yue troops in the north of Huangyu Mountain, and 80,000 Yue men either died at the hands of the Yan army or were captured by the Yan army, how can we surrender to the Yan army!" When Yan Hu heard this, he stood up angrily and questioned Guo Xiaoyan.
He led his troops to fight against the Yan army on the battlefield, how could he not know that the Yan army was fighting, but compared with the panic caused by the Yan army's combat strength, the Yan army's hands were stained with the blood of the Yue army, how could he return to the Yan country,
On the other hand, the state of Chu and the state of Wu still stand in the south and east of the Yue country, leading the troops to fight out of the encirclement and surrender to the two countries, and the Vietnamese army still has a chance to continue.
"General Yan, you don't know the situation in the south of Yueguo, so let General Hou explain it for you!" Guo Xiaoyan's face was pale, and he did not argue, so as not to fall into other people's tongues.
Yan Hu turned to look at Hou Zhen, Hou Zhen sighed, and said: "General Yan, south of the Osprey Crossing, the Yue country has been occupied by the Yan army, and the western front has collapsed.
The prince led the troops to evacuate from the imperial city, and Yan cavalry pursued closely, not only catching up with the prince's men and horses, but also easily capturing the prince and seizing money and grain, does General Yan want to end up in a situation of being captured?"
Hou Zhen also did not want to surrender to the Yan army, but let him know more about the situation faced by the Vietnamese army, and continued to insist, the stock of grain was exhausted, the Vietnamese army was isolated, and sooner or later there was an internal mutiny.
If the Yan army leads the troops to attack and attack from the east and west, Huangyu Mountain, Jinshakou, and Osprey will definitely become the grave of the Vietnamese army.
Yan Hu was not convinced, turned to look at Han Yanxi, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Guo, General Yan's clan is all in the imperial city, and they are strongly advocating the surrender of Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that the prince who is thinking about the future of Yue Kingdom will take the opportunity to rescue the clansmen!"
The last general suggested that he would rather die on the battlefield and shed the last drop of blood, and should fight to the death with the Yan army to fight to the end and play the prestige of the Vietnamese army."
Hearing this, Han Yanxi looked at Guo Xiaoyan and Hou Zhen with cold eyes, and asked, "Guo Qing, General Hou, is what Yan Hu said right?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen and the emperor led the troops to fight, and the clansmen did stay in the imperial city, but Weichen persuaded the emperor to return to the Yan Kingdom, not because of the Weichen clansmen, if Weichen thought about the clansmen, he would have quietly left the army and returned to the imperial city alone to surrender to Emperor Yan, how could he stay in the barracks!" Guo Xiaoyan glanced at Yan Hu with cold eyes, Yan Hu didn't return to Yan Kingdom, why did he pull him into the water, didn't he push him into the fire pit?
If Han Yanxi is pursued for this, he will be in a very bad situation, and he may even be dragged out and beheaded on the spot.
"Your Majesty, the generals who led the troops with you, the clansmen are all in the imperial city, and the family of the last general is indeed in the imperial city, but the continuous battles, the population of the Yue country has decreased sharply, and the emperor can bear to continue to throw his head, spill blood, and do meaningless things?" Hou Zhen said coldly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Yan Hu refused to return to Yan Kingdom, what kind of thoughts, the hearts of those present were like mirrors.
Because he was defeated in the hands of the Yan army, he was afraid that he would return to the Yan country, and he would be despised by the Yan army and would not have a good future.
Han Yanxi's eyes swept back and forth from the generals in the tent, and gradually made up his mind, and said loudly: "Surrender, I have decided to surrender to Yan State, end the war in Yue Country as soon as possible, and return the people to a comfortable life."
"The emperor is wise!"
"The emperor is wise!"
"The emperor is wise!"
......
Guo Xiaoyan, Hou Zhen and other generals bowed down one after another, supporting Han Yanxi's decision.
The sooner the war ends, the sooner calm will be restored to the people of Vietnam, and the sooner the fighting in Vietnam will subside.
Yan Hu looked at Han Yanxi with a firm expression, and then looked at Guo Xiaoyan and Hou Zhen, and said indignantly: "Your Majesty, Lord Guo, General Hou, the Yue Kingdom will return to the Yan Kingdom, all the soldiers will be harmed by Emperor Yan sooner or later, one mountain does not allow two tigers, how can Emperor Yan tolerate us."
"General Yan, I have made up my mind, don't say much, whether Emperor Yan will accommodate us or not, we still need Lord Guo to go to the imperial city in person and meet with Emperor Yan to discuss." Han Yanxi waved his hand, signaled Yanhu to be quiet, and said loudly.
The situation of the Yue State is much more serious than imagined, the domestic soldiers will die on the battlefield one after another, the Chu State is divided, the Wu State itself is difficult to protect, and there is no one who can help the Yue State resolve the crisis.
At this time, only by surrendering to Yan can we turn evil into good fortune and ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers and the people of Yue Kingdom.
Yan Hu's expression was down, and he said helplessly: "The last general will obey the order!"
Han Yanxi did not hesitate and said, "General Yan, you are familiar with the situation of Yan Kingdom, go to the imperial city with Guo Qing, talk with Emperor Yan, and strive for more benefits."
"Yes!"
Guo Xiaoyan shook his head, Yan Hu looked stunned, but still agreed categorically.
"Qin Yue, Hou Zhen, before the negotiation with Emperor Yan is successful, you will lead the troops to guard the Osprey Ferry and Jinshakou, do not face the attacking Yan saber soldiers, and wait quietly for Guo Qing and General Yan to bring back the news." Han Yanxi commanded.
"Yes!" Qin Yue, Hou Zhen.
