Chapter 477: Southern Expedition or Northern Expedition?
All this that happened in Jiankang City, Qin Feng and the others, who were far away on the front line of Weishui, naturally knew nothing. It wasn't until five days later that they learned about this earth-shattering change from Yin Hao's mouth!
Qin Feng hugged his son Qin Chan and looked at his sleeping face, but the tall and straight figure of the former general Meng Xin appeared in front of him. appeared his beloved wife Meng Ling, the delicate and lovely face! As if he heard the first time the two of them met, Meng Ling looked at him with curiosity on his face, and said to himself, "Ah, it's us Qin people!" ”
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't suppress it anymore, the two lines of tears on his face couldn't stop flowing, and the two lines of tears that couldn't stop flowing fell on the swaddling clothes in his arms, and the little Zen'er, who was originally asleep, was awakened by this sad and piercing and murderous tears, and was so frightened that he cried!
Former general Meng Xin, different from ordinary generals of the Qin army, he is not only one of the three elders of the Qin army, before Qin Feng appeared, Meng Xin has always been the commander of the Qin army and the leader of the Qin people! In the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin army, in the eyes of tens of thousands of Qin people, Mengxin is not only their chief, but also their father and brother!
At this time, seeing that Mengxin's father and daughter were both killed, the 100,000 soldiers of the Qin army on the front line of Weishui rushed to Qin Feng one after another, bursting into tears one by one, and roared hoarsely: "General, kill all the traitors, kill Huan Wen, and avenge your wife!" Hate the former general! ”
A group of noble sons and daughters of the Beifu Army, the elders of the clan, on the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Chongde, all died at the hands of the traitor Huan Wen, they all wore linen and filial piety, and also came to Qin Feng, and they knelt on the ground one after another, crying and crying, while gritting their teeth and roaring: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I will ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin to lead us to kill back to Jiankang City, kill all the rebel generals, kill Guanghuan Wen Manmen, and avenge the death of our relatives!" ”
Seeing that everyone was calling for revenge, Qin Feng hugged Xiao Chan'er, looked at the far south with teary eyes, gritted his teeth and roared: "Huan Wen, you killed my beloved wife, harmed my former general, and killed my Qin army soldiers, this revenge will not be avenged, and I Qin Feng will not be a man!" I will peel your skin and cramp, crush your bones and scatter ashes, and kill all your Huan family, and there will be no chickens and dogs! ”
After hearing Qin Feng's words, and seeing that tens of thousands of troops were united and vowed to return to Jiangnan to avenge this blood feud, Yin Hao was startled, thought about it and said loudly: "General, don't do it!" Once our army leads the army south, although the people of Jiangnan will eat pot pulp to welcome the king's division, but the soldiers and horses of all towns in the Jin Dynasty are stationed in various states and capitals, and it is difficult to wipe them all out for a while! Moreover, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, which is not conducive to our Qin army's iron cavalry rushing and killing, if the war drags on for too long, the Hu people have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, once they take the opportunity to go south, then our army will fall into a two-front battle, and the people of the Southern Dynasty will also suffer from the war! ”
Wang Yanbo, the commander of the Qin army, also continued: "General, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Hu people have been defeated one after another, and now is the time when the Hu people of the Di nationality are the weakest, as long as our army crosses the river, we can eliminate hundreds of thousands of Hu soldiers and horses in one go, and recover the states of the Central Plains, even Xianyang, the capital of our great Qin, is just around the corner!" ”
"General, if our army abandons the Hu people in the north at this time and goes south to fight, then the Hu people of the Di nationality will have a chance to breathe, once they collude with the Hu people of the Qian tribe, the Qiang people and other Hu people, and join forces to fight against our army, then even if we eliminate the Huan Wen party, even if we avenge the wife and the former general, we want to recover the Central Plains, and then we want to fight back to our hometown Xianyang, but I don't know how long we have to wait!"
Hearing the words of Yin Hao and Wang Yanbo, Qin Feng was shocked, he never thought that his single-minded devotion to avenging his beloved wife Mengling and his bent avenging for the former general Mengxin would affect the ultimate dream of hundreds of thousands of Qin people to return my Great Qin and my Xianyang!
Qin Feng also understood in his heart that Yin Hao and Wang Yanbo were right, after Taiwei Huan Wen rebelled, he would definitely raise all the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, raise troops to the north and try to fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses with the Hu people, and attack the Qin army from the north and south! If the Qin army wants to be invincible, the best choice is to take advantage of the fact that Huan Wen has not yet raised troops, cross the river first, and annihilate the soldiers and horses of the Hu people of the Di tribe, only in this way can the Qin army be invincible!
But when Qin Feng remembered that he couldn't immediately avenge the former general Mengxin, and he couldn't immediately avenge his beloved wife Mengling, his heart hurt like a knife, it was like a knife cut, it was like a pain to the bone marrow, and he couldn't want to live!
At this time, the two choices in front of Qin Feng were either to continue to build boats to cross the river, cross the river with a large army, annihilate the soldiers and horses of the Hu people of the Di tribe, recover all parts of the Central Plains, and return to Xianyang's hometown! Either lead the army south, kill all those traitors, kill the entire Huan Wen clan, avenge the soul of his beloved wife, and avenge the former general Mengxin!
These two choices, one rational and the other bloody, Qin Feng was really a little difficult to decide for a while! He turned his head, looked at Xie An Xie Anshi, and asked pleadingly, "An Shi, what do you think?" ”
On the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Chongde, the Xie family of Chen Jun also suffered a lot of casualties, and even Xie An's father, Xie Pei of Taichang Temple, who was nearly sixty years old, also died tragically at the hands of the traitor Huan Wen! If it was according to Xie An's temperament, he couldn't wait to immediately lead the army back to Jiankang, show the head of the traitor Huan Wenxiao, and avenge his father for the death of the Xie family in Chen County!
But Xie An even understood what his father asked him to join the Qin army for! In order to drive out Hu Lu, in order to recover the land of the two capitals, in order to recreate the glorious China, in the face of the heavy responsibility of these nations, what is the blood feud for a while?
Thinking of this, Xie An stopped his grief for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the revenge of killing your father and wife is also private!" Destroy Zhuhu, recover the Central Plains, Gongye! I also hope that His Royal Highness will focus on the community and the common people in the world, postpone the revenge of the south, first concentrate the superior forces, cross the river, annihilate the Hu people of the Di tribe in one fell swoop, and recover the land of the Central Plains! ”
"As long as the north is certain, there is no strong reinforcement outside the rebel Huan Wen, and there are many internal disasters, like a lamb to be slaughtered, His Royal Highness will lead the Qin army to the south again, and when the time comes, millions of people in the Southern Dynasty will definitely eat pot pulp to welcome the king! At that time, not only will the traitor Huan Wen be wiped out day and night, but the whole world will also be in the pocket of His Royal Highness! ”
Before Xie An's words fell, the right general Li Quai, also wiped away the tears on his face and said: "General, what Xie Gongzi said is right, as long as the Hu people in the north are destroyed, as long as the states of the Central Plains are pacified, then the rebel Huan Wen is the fish on the chopping board, and the general can kill when he wants!" ”
"As long as we Qin people, our 100,000 Qin army soldiers, can drive away Hu Lu and return to Xianyang's hometown, the enmity between the father and daughter of the former general, even if it drags on for a while, they will not blame the general! Brother Mengxin, as well as Meng Ling's niece, they are under Jiuquan, and they will inevitably laugh and congratulate each other from afar for our Qin army to fight back to Xianyang! ”
The right general Li Quai, the Qin army captain Wang Yanbo, Yin Hao Yin Yuanyuan, Xie An Xie Anshi, these four people together persuaded Qin Feng to postpone his southward revenge, cross the river first, annihilate the soldiers and horses of the Hu people, and recover the land of the Central Plains! They are almost all the wise men under Qin Feng's command, and they almost represent all forces, seeing that they all said this, Qin Feng secretly said in his heart: "Ling'er, Brother Qin can't stand you!" ”
Then Qin Feng looked around at the generals of the Qin army, looked around at the generals of the Beifu army, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order all the armies, just wait for the ferry to be built, and then cross the river to the north on the same day!" ”
After the military order was issued, Qin Feng looked up to the sky and sighed: "As for how to convince the officers and men in the army, you can do it!" Ben will be a little tired, so let's go down and rest first! ”
Saying that, Qin Feng hugged Xiao Zen'er in his arms, and walked away with tears in his eyes! The generals of the Qin army and the generals of the Beifu army, watching Qin Feng gradually move away, the bleak and lonely back, all of them wept sadly, and they almost couldn't bear to look at it again!
