Chapter 194: (Yuan Long's Decision)

Hebei, in the city of Zhuangzhou

When the news of Yuan Xian's surrender to Shangguan Yin Feng spread all over Hebei, Yuan Long had just returned from recruiting troops from Gaoyi and other places, and losing Yuan Xian was equivalent to losing half of Hebei. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Majesty, now that Yuan Xian has rebelled, the last general thinks that we should prepare early."

A general's words woke up Yuan Long: "Now our army still has 100,000 soldiers, and we have just recruited 30,000 recruits from Gaoyi and other places, which is enough for 130,000 horses, Shangguan Yin Feng is only 100,000 in Hebei, and the grain and grass are now only in his army for a month, as long as we stick to Zhuangzhou and other places, it is enough to find an opportunity to fight against them." ”

"Emperor Qi, the envoy of the Han Dynasty asks to see you." As soon as Yuan Long's words fell, an attendant walked into the main hall and bowed to Yuan Long and spoke.

Now in the tripartite alliance of Han, Yan and Liang, the strongest is the Han army, followed by the Tuoba clan, and finally Yuan Long himself, and Yuan Long is also very aware of his own experience now, unless he has to do so, he must not tear his face with Liu Xuan.

"Let him come in and see me." Yuan Long waved his hand and said.

"In Xia is Shi Chenhe, the head of the Imperial History of the Han Dynasty, to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Yan." Chen He saluted towards Yuan Long.

Yuan Long sat up straight, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "I don't know if Chen Changshi is coming, I dare to ask Chen Changshi if there is something important about coming this time?" ”

Chen Huan sat down on the side and arched his hand: "The emperor has a decree, and he ordered this history to come and tell His Majesty the Emperor of Yan that our Han army has recovered a lot of lost territory, but now the Cheng Dynasty forces in the territory of Sili have not been completely eliminated, and our army has encircled Nanyang, but the number of troops is small, and the emperor has ordered that all the armies of our Han army in Hebei should return to Anyang and go to Nanyang to fight, and on this side of Hebei, I hope that Your Majesty will do your best to block Shangguan Yin Feng, and wait for our army to pacify the enemy army in Nanyang, and then concentrate on attacking Hebei in order to win a big victory. ”

Although Chen Huan's words are tactful, anyone can hear the meaning, and it is very clear that Liu Xuan quit, the reason is simple, Yuan Xian rebelled, Yuan Long's power shrank significantly, and after Yuan Jingchu's death, he succeeded to the throne of the Great Yan Kingdom very reluctantly, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are still more than 100,000 Yan soldiers in his hands, although Shangguan Yin Feng cannot be completely eliminated, but there is no problem in dragging Shangguan Yin Feng, and the death of the priest also gave Liu Xuan a lot of worry, The main force of the Han army in Hebei was also wiped out in the First Battle of Hejian, and even the commander Sai Zun died at the hands of Shangguan Yin Feng.

Therefore, Liu Xuan chose to withdraw his troops from Hebei, so that the Guanxi army and Yuan Long joined forces to resist Shangguan Yin Feng, while he mobilized elite troops in order to take Nanyang in one fell swoop, completely eliminate Shangguan Yin Feng's forces in Henan, and fundamentally deal a heavy blow to Shangguan Yin Feng.

Yuan Long's originally smiling face immediately became gloomy, and Chen Huan was not a fool who couldn't see it, so he stood up and arched his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, our army is just going to solve the matter of Si Li first, and please ask Your Majesty to persist for a few months, according to the news obtained from this history, Shangguan Yin Feng's grain and grass in the river has lasted less than a month, and the grain in Beiping still has to feed the people and troops in Liaodong and Youzhou and other places, and there are not many of them, please also ask Your Majesty to choose the opportunity to send troops." ”

"Someone, send off..."Yuan Long stood up and said sharply, then turned around and walked into the apse.

Chen He knew that he had completed his mission, so he turned around and left with a smile.

The next day, that is, after Chen Huan told Yuan Long the news of the withdrawal of the Han army on behalf of Liu Xuan, Wentai also learned the news, and he now led more than 40,000 Guanxi cavalry to be stationed in Dingzhou, and then passed the news to Tuoba Wenhong in the form of a fast horse.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September in the first year of Fengtian, Tuoba Wenhong's will was passed to Wentai, and the letter directly explained the meaning of withdrawing troops, and Wentai was now the supreme commander of the Hebei Daliang Army, so Wentai quickly ordered to take away all the baggage, and led more than 40,000 Guanxi iron horsemen to the west that night and entered Shanxi.

Yuan Long, who learned the news, fell into a coma after spitting blood from his mouth that night, and was carried out of the main hall by the minister to rest in the apse.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Yanguo Palace in Zhuangzhou City, dozens of generals and more than a dozen civil officials were nervously discussing the development of things.

A guard ran into the main hall and said to a military general: "General, the big thing is not good, the vanguard of the Cheng Dynasty Army stormed Anping County, and the Anping guard sent someone to ask for help." ”

Another guard ran into the main hall and said to the general who had been guarding at the beginning: "General Qiyu, Anping City has been lost, our army has been defeated, and Li Yanqing's army of the Cheng Dynasty is heading towards Wuji County. ”

"What?" The general was taken aback, he had just received the news that Anping was asking for help, and now he came to the news that the Cheng Dynasty army had moved towards Wuji County, and this general's name was Wei Ping, and he was now named the general of the Great Yan Hussars by Yuan Long, after Yuan Xian surrendered, under Yuan Long's account, he had the highest official position, so those guards all told him about it.

Wei Ping is a little untenable, Wuji County is the eastern barrier of Zhuangzhou, originally Anping was attacked, as long as it is held, it can be regarded as being able to block the pace of Shangguan Yin Feng, but now Li Yanqing has led his troops to march into Wuji County, once Wuji is lost, the route to Zhuangzhou in the east is unimpeded, and the soldiers can reach the city of Zhuangzhou: "Is this serious?" ”

"Back to the general, it's true." The guard said firmly.

"General Wei, how is it now?" A civil official arched his hand towards Wei Ping and said, these civil officials are diehards, otherwise they would not be officials under Yuan Long's account after Yuan Jingchu's death, but now that he thinks that his life will not be guaranteed after the city is broken, he will inevitably be a little worried.

Wei Ping frowned and looked at the apse, and then calmly ordered: "Pass the order, order all the troops in Zhuangzhou to come to reinforcements, and order the guards of Wuji County to hold on to me, and the reinforcements will arrive immediately." ”

"No..."

"No need...", a shout made the originally noisy hall immediately quiet, Yuan Long walked into the hall with the support of the chamberlain and concubines, looked at Wei Ping and said: "Arrange it, gather all the soldiers in the surrounding counties, I want to fight to the death with Shangguan Yin Feng in this Zhuangzhou." ”

"The emperor must not..."A civil official immediately knelt down when he heard this: "Although our army has more than 100,000 people, there are also tens of thousands of newly recruited soldiers, who have not received much training, and they really can't go to the battlefield, and our dynasty still has many cities in western Hebei, and we can rely on these places to deal with the Cheng Dynasty army, we have the assistance of the Daliang and Han Dynasty, which is enough to resist the pace of Shangguan Yin Feng, and please think twice." ”

"Please think twice." All the civil servants knelt down in unison.

Those generals are standing on the sidelines and watching, most of the people who can be here now are people who are loyal to the Yuan clan, many of these generals are members of the Yuan clan, naturally it is impossible to choose to surrender or survive, since Yuan Long said that he wants to fight to the death, then he must have the backbone and blood type of a soldier, and fight to the death with the Cheng Dynasty army.

"Your Majesty, our army is now full of morale, the art of war, and the momentum of a drum is like a tiger; Our army is now at this moment, if we choose to retreat again, sooner or later let the Cheng Dynasty army defeat us, it is better to take advantage of the time when we can still fight, and fight to the death with Shangguan Yin Feng, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. A general knelt down on one knee and said.
