Chapter 821 disagreed and fell apart
In the eastern front area, the cavalry led by Yue Yunshan was a cavalry of the Chu State, carrying the grandeur of the Chu Emperor Xiong Wu and Han Zhitong.
How could it be possible to be on the Eastern Front, silently, annihilated by the Blade Warriors?
The Yan army is so important that the troops are transferred, how can the spies sent by the coalition army not be able to detect it.
For a while, the faces of the generals changed dramatically, and they had been severely injured by the Yan army twice in a row, and at this time, the news that came back simply directly indicated that 150,000 Xuanjia soldiers were directly buried in the hands of Yan Cai.
The Yan army's combat methods, combat effectiveness, how terrifying it is, I dare not imagine it at all!
The atmosphere in the tent froze for a long time, Han Zhitong gasped with difficulty, and no longer had the previous arrogant attitude, and defended: "The spies who sent the letter are tired to death, there is no proof of death, the old man suspects, this is a conspiracy, the conspiracy of the Yan army against the coalition army, Yue Yunshan is the No. 3 general of the Chu State, it is impossible to be so fragile, not to mention, the troops he leads are all tigers and wolves, how can they be easily defeated." ”
Han Zhitong did not believe that Yue Yunshan's troops on the eastern front would be defeated, and for a long time, he sent spies to closely monitor the Yan army in the north, and he did not receive any news that the Yan army was heading south or leaving. "That's right, the blade warrior is the elite of the Yan army, and he has always been in Guangling City with Emperor Yan, and he has not received any movement from the Yan army at all, and even if there is, it is only a few insignificant reports!" At this time, Chen Dongyu also reacted quickly, took Han Zhitong's words, and quickly added.
He dared to say this, all because Zhao Hongru's army fought so hard at the beginning, and he didn't see the main force of the Yan army going south.
In addition, if the Yue Yunshan Legion was really unfortunately wiped out, it could not be admitted, otherwise it would inevitably seriously affect the morale of the army, leading to the complete collapse of the Five Kingdoms' plan to defeat Yan.
At this time, Wen Zhiming put forward a different point of view, and said loudly: "General Han, General Chen, not to mention, General Yue's victory or defeat on the Eastern Front, I think there is something that must be explained to the two generals in detail!" ”
"What's the matter!" Han Zhitong asked anxiously.
Wen Zhiming snorted lightly and said: "Shu and Yan have been together for many years, and they know very well the strength of the Yan army, in the Yan country, the blade warrior is the ace cavalry in the trump card, the ironclad cavalry is second, the light cavalry is again, and the light cavalry is divided into the Son of Heaven's army and the miscellaneous army, at present, we encounter light cavalry, all of which are the cavalry at the bottom of the Yan country, and even the light cavalry led by Zhang Yu and Zhao Jun have not been encountered, and they have already paid the price of hundreds of thousands of casualties, so if the Xuanjia soldiers led by General Yue, If you encounter the bladed soldiers led by Emperor Yan on the Eastern Front, you will be 100% defeated! ”
Wen Zhiming's words, without scrupling about the faces of Han Zhitong and Chen Tongyu, although his words, although aimed at Han Zhitong and hit the other party's arrogance, he also reminded the generals present that at this time, everyone paid a heavy price, but in fact, they still had no contact with the elite army of the Yan Army.
In the future, as the war situation develops, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to the coalition forces.
"Wen Zhiming, what do you mean, do you intend to insult Chu Jun? Old horseman, believe it or not, Lao Tzu pumped you! Han Zhitong suppressed the anger in his heart, but Chen Tongyu's fiery temper was instantaneous, and his words threatened.
However, at this time, the guard seemed to feel that the previous fire was not yet vigorous, and continued: "General, the previous subordinates have not finished delivering the news,"
"It's not over, what else?" Han Zhitong said impatiently, he blamed himself for being careless before, but at this moment, it was very stupid for the guard to continue to speak.
However, if the guards refused to speak, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the generals of the four countries, and everyone had already begun to deviate from Germany, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be constant infighting.
Hearing this, the guards were shocked, as if they realized their stupid behavior, secretly glanced at Han Zhitong, and said tremblingly: "General, the Xuanjia soldiers who delivered the information were personally released by Emperor Yan and specially asked them to pass on the news. ”
"Went south?" Hearing this, Han Zhitong was stunned in place, Chen Dongyu had the urge to run wild, Zhang Yuting impulsively grabbed the guard's arm, and asked with a red face.
The guard looked at Zhang Yuting with a stunned expression, and stammered: "Yes, yes, the Xuanjia soldier who passed the message did say that Emperor Yan personally led the blade warriors south." ”
"It's not good, the back road is blocked, and the army will be ambushed or hit hard when it goes south!" Zhang Yuting couldn't help but say.
At this time, Wen Zhiming also said: "What General Zhang said is a long-term problem, in the short term, the food route of the coalition army may be cut off by Emperor Yan, if you don't try to change it, the food problem will become an important problem for the coalition army, and even make the coalition army fall into starvation." ”
For a while, the tent became noisy, and the generals exchanged heads, whispered, and talked to each other.
After being silent for a long time, Han Zhitong raised his head, glanced at the generals, tried to remain calm, and said: "Everyone be quiet, whether the matter is true or not has not yet been determined, we can't become frightened birds, at present, what the coalition forces want to do, we must quickly determine whether this matter is true or false."
In addition, Xiang sent people back to the Yangtze River warship and ordered the warship to continue westward, regardless of whether the matter was true or not, at that time all the grain routes would be transported from Shu's forces in the Jiangbei region, so as not to encounter an ambush by the Yan army and strangle the grain routes of the coalition army. ”
Han Zhitong never believed that the 150,000 Xuanjia soldiers led by Yue Yunshan were annihilated by the Yan army in silence, so no matter how they should be deployed in the future, they must first find out what happened.
After all, the influence of this matter is too great, the news has only spread among the generals, and it has already caused panic, if the news reaches the coalition army, it must cause confusion in the hearts of the army, and in the future, the coalition army is afraid that it will be self-defeating and become a group of troops similar to frightened birds.
"General Han, it seems that it is too hasty to investigate thoroughly, if the Xuanjia soldiers led by General Yue were really wiped out by the blade soldiers, I think, for the sake of insurance, the main force of the coalition army will move westward, and strive to transfer to the forces of Shu in Jiangbei, we will advance and attack, retreat and defend, once the news is confirmed, whether it is true or not, we can make targeted decisions!"
Today, Wen Zhiming seems to be specifically against Han Zhitong, and he did not cooperate with the other party's proposal to continue to fight north, and now he denies Han Zhitong's proposal.
How strong the Yan army is, the generals on the battlefield, no one knows better than him, the Wen family has been doing business in the Yan country for many years, and there are ten Wen officials in the Yan court, and the Yan army intelligence, the Wen family himself knows better.
At this moment, the question in his heart was only whether the blade warrior quietly went south, if the other party successfully went south, the blade warrior annihilated 150,000 Xuanjia soldiers, he didn't feel any difficulty.
He became unsupportive of Emperor Shu tearing his face with Yan Guo in order to fight for interests, and he only felt that this was the worst decision made by Emperor Shu in several years.
This time, he suggested that the coalition army withdraw to Shu's forces in Jiangbei, on the one hand, to avoid the grain route being blocked by the southbound blade soldiers, and on the other hand, he also hoped that the coalition forces would transfer to Shu's forces in Jiangbei, which could help Shu block the Yan army and strive to keep Shu's power in Jiangbei.
"Well, I support General Wen's proposal that the coalition forces can no longer suffer from unwarranted disasters and waste their vital strength in vain!" Wu Jieshao said that it is not so much that the coalition forces cannot suffer an unwarranted disaster, but that the Cai army cannot suffer an unjustified disaster.
Wang Zhengwen, who had not spoken for a long time, also nodded at this moment, very much agreed with Wen Zhiming's proposal, and suggested: "General Han, it is better to evacuate earlier, although it is contrary to the intention of the coalition army to go to Shu to influence in Jiangbei, but we must reduce casualties as much as possible, isn't it, especially General Yue led the Xuanjia soldiers, and it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out." ”
Han Zhitong was thinking, thinking about what to do in the future, if Yue Yunshan was defeated, it would be a good thing for the whole army to retreat to the west, however, if Yue Yunshan was not defeated, the withdrawal of the coalition forces to the west would cause Yue Yunshan's troops to fall into isolation, and once the Yan and Song troops were aware of it, Yue Yunshan's troops would fall into isolation.
At that time, 150,000 Xuanjia soldiers would really be buried in the Jiangbei region.
More importantly, the road to the west is not smooth sailing, there are still Yan army troops there, continue to advance westward, you will encounter the Yan army block, and it is also a bloody road to go to the forces of Shu.
What's more, the Yan army in the west is deployed, and they do not have any information, and the coalition forces will be heading to an unknown area.
After being silent for a long time, Han Zhitong made a decision, which was very decisive, and let the generals make a choice, and said loudly: "Regardless of the truth of the news, the old man always believes in General Yue's ability. Therefore, if the news is a rumor and the coalition forces are retreating westward, we have just fallen for the tricks of the Yan army.
At this moment, since everyone proposed to evacuate, the old man felt that the troops who had confidence in the Chu army could continue to stay, and when the news was confirmed and it was proved that it was a conspiracy of the Yan army, the army directly waved north and went to Guangling City. If the news proves that General Yue led the Xuanjia soldiers to be defeated, we will quickly evacuate to the west.
If everyone has no confidence in the Chu army and immediately goes to Shu's forces in Jiangbei, the old man will not obstruct it at all.
However, the old man must remind that there are still Yan cavalry defending the Shu army in the west, and the road to this place may not be smooth sailing, and the future defeat of the coalition army will have nothing to do with the Chu army.
How to go on this road, the generals make their own decisions, so that they can do it themselves. ”
Hearing Han Zhitong's words, everyone was silent again, and what the other party said seemed to have a certain amount of truth.
However, at this time, Wen Zhiming still took the lead in standing up and said: "General Han, I believe in the strength of the Chu army, but this matter is related to the life and death of the troops of various countries, so I don't dare to act rashly."
The road to the west is extremely dangerous, but the coalition army will fight with the Shu army within the boundaries of Shu on two fronts, and attack the Yan army from the east and west, no matter how bad the situation is, it will be better than the grain road being blocked, and the coalition army will gradually be weakened by the Yan army, and even completely annihilated! ”
"Yes, in the face of interests, we must stick to the interests of our respective countries, and I still choose to go to Shu with General Wen! Victory or defeat, Wu Guo bears it himself! Wu Jie Shao said.
He figured it out, Han Zhitong seemed to be gambling, gambling on Yue Yunshan's victory or defeat, and the stake was the lives of hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, as a participant, he didn't dare to participate in this bet.
Wang Zhengwen also stood up, but this time he no longer supported Han Zhitong, and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Chu army is beyond doubt, but the undefeated division of the Chu army, stepping into the north, has been defeated twice in a row, and the myth of the undefeated Chu army has long been broken by the Yan army."
What's more, if General Yue Yunshan encounters the blade soldiers, according to the ending of Shiyan City, it will definitely be difficult to escape, after all, the blade warriors are mounted for riding and dismounted for infantry, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the ironclad infantry and ironclad infantry, so I choose to evacuate with the Shu Cai coalition army. ”
