Chapter 402: Withdrawal

Chapter 402 Withdrawal When Gao Wei learned that the second day after the fall of Pingyang, he gathered his troops and horses, appointed Gao Anaqiu as the vanguard general, led 50,000 Bingzhou troops first, and led 100,000 main troops to approach later.

Gao Ana is flattering and opportunistic, but when it comes to military ability, it is really pitiful. In particular, he had been defeated by the hands of joy, and the painful and embarrassing process had already left a deep shadow in his heart.

The so-called soldier is fast, as a pioneer, in addition to paving roads and bridges, it also has the role of probing the enemy and clearing obstacles, but Gao Ana Qiu was as full of footsteps as possible along the way, for fear of opening too much distance from the Chinese army behind him, so as to be killed by the Zhou army. In this way, the Qi army missed the opportunity to pursue Yu Wenxian against the encirclement, and even missed the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

When Gao Anqiu and Gao Wei arrived in Jiqiyuan successively, Yu Wenxian, the king of Zhou Guoqi, had already converged with Yuwen Chun, the Duke of Yongchang, leaving only an empty camp.

The enemy fled, and Gao Wei was immediately furious, and immediately scolded: "Rice buckets, all rice buckets!" Watching the thieves slip away and miss the opportunity, damn it! Come on, drag me all out and cut it off! ”

"Your Majesty, please be merciful!" As soon as Gao Wei's words fell, Gao Anaqiu, who was dressed in military uniform, immediately fell to the ground and stopped.

"What, you want to intercede for them?" Xing Xing frowned and looked at Gao Anaqiu, and then glanced at the seven or eight officials who fell to the ground, trembling and sweating profusely, and said unhappily.

Gao Ana gave a deep salute and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, please take a break from the wrath of the thunder, and wait until Weichen finishes speaking before making a decision!" ”

"Tell me about it, if you can't satisfy me, you don't want to get away with it!" Gao Wei flicked the sleeves of his robe, sat back on the dragon chair in Shuai Zhangzhong with a cold snort, and looked at Gao Ana with gloomy eyes.

Gao Ana took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts slightly, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, although you have let Yu Wenxian escape, the crime is unforgivable, but the Zhou people have always been treacherous and cunning, and it is understandable that you adults did not notice the Tao for a while. Please also ask Your Majesty to spare their lives for the sake of their dedication to defending the land and for the sake of their loyalty and wisdom all these years. What's more, now that the Zhou army is coming, it is the time to employ people, and it is not appropriate for His Majesty to kill the generals before the battle, which will hit our morale and boost the enemy's prestige. Moreover, the escape of the Zhou army this time is not all bad! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Gao Wei's face did not ease much, but when he heard the last sentence, he was obviously interested, his body couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and the anger in his heart faded a little.

Gao Anaqiu's heart was relieved, and a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why King Qi of Zhou Guoqi fled overnight this time was because Your Majesty's unparalleled prestige made him afraid and shocked, so he returned in embarrassment and did not dare to fight head-on. ”

"The Zhou army is marching forward all the way, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it has never been defeated, but now it is just hearing the name of His Majesty and fleeing from the wind, so that the morale of the Zhou army will definitely be greatly defeated, as long as we take advantage of the victory to pursue, we will definitely be able to recover Jinzhou in one fell swoop, and defeat the Zhou army!" In the latter sentence, Gao Ana said that he was full of confidence and high spirits.

When Gao Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile of excitement and satisfaction suddenly bloomed on his face. The state of Zhou and the state of Qi are feuds, the two countries have fought for decades, and they have won and lost each other, but in recent years, since Yuwenyong ascended the throne, the state of Qi has always been at a disadvantage. Now, when Yu Wenyong saw Gao Wei leading troops to support, he immediately fled, doesn't it indirectly show that he is afraid of Gao Wei? For Gao Wei, who is so happy and has low self-esteem, is there anything more worthy of joy than this?

"What Gao Aiqing said is reasonable, flat!" Gao Wei smiled softly and finished speaking to Gao Anahu, and then cast his disgusted and cold gaze on the other officials, and said coldly: "Since Gao Aiqing Wei and others intercede, I will spare your lives for the time being, allow you to make meritorious contributions, and after the war, I will investigate your responsibility for dereliction of duty!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing!" The crowd immediately bowed to the ground and kept kowtowing in gratitude.

"Get out!" Gao Wei snorted coldly, waved his hand impatiently, and everyone immediately rushed out of the tent as if they had been amnestied. In the empty tent, there were only eight people left in the tent, wearing armor and holding sharp blades, and more than a dozen powerful guards, Gao Anaqi, Gao Wei, and the enchanting Feng Shufei Feng Xiaolian.

Gao Wei is lustful, cruel and violent, I don't know how many women have been fortunate before and after, even the queen has set up three, but the most fortunate is Feng Xiaolian, especially after Gao Wei cultivated "The Secret of Longevity", he is even more obsessed with Feng Xiaolian, no matter where he goes, he will take him with him and let him serve him.

"Gao Aiqing, now that the situation is very good, I am ready to send troops to counterattack, what do you think should be?" Gao Wei took the fragrant tea handed by Feng Xiaolian, took a sip gently, rubbed his hands, and asked eagerly.

Gao Anaqiu's face stiffened, but he quickly smiled and said: "Back to the world, although the Zhou army retreated south, Pingyang City is still in their hands. However, there are only 10,000 defenders in Pingyang City, how can they resist the hundreds of thousands of heroes of our Daqi, as long as His Majesty gives an order, Pingyang City will definitely collapse in an instant! ”

"Gao Aiqing said it well!" Gao Wei nodded in agreement and said, "If you are not weak, how about Gao Aiqing supervising the army on behalf of me and waving troops to attack Pingyang City?" ”

Gao Anaqiu's heart tightened, and he said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen is unwilling to share worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, it's really that Weichen is shallow in learning and is not good at fighting, I'm afraid that it will delay the fighter plane and delay Your Majesty's major events!" "What Gao Anaqiu said was conclusive, sincere, and heartfelt.

A trace of emotion flashed on Gao Wei's face, and he sighed: "Gao Aiqing doesn't have to be arrogant, you have made a lot of achievements around me, and I understand it in my heart." It's just that there are few people around me who can be used, who will I send to take on these people? As he spoke, Cushman wrinkled his eyebrows and thought hard.

"Your Majesty, now that you are in Jinzhou, even if you are just a little-known young general, you will definitely be able to burst out with extremely brave combat power under your radiance!" Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Although Gao Anaqiu is in power, he will not make decisions for Gao Wei, and he will definitely be hated by Gao Wei.

Gao Wei thought for a long time, and then said with a chuckle: "Gao Yanzong, the assassin of Bingzhou, is young and promising, and he has been stationed in Dingzhou all the year round to exterminate the rebel Gao Sihao, so he will be sent to lead the Bingzhou defenders to fight this time, what does Gao Aiqing think?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Gao Ana Qiu was a little tempted to speak, and stopped: "It's just-"

"Gao Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Your Majesty, more than ten days ago, the seventh prince of the Turks, Ashina Kuhezhen, led 50,000 troops south to attack my Shuozhou, although the Duke of Beiping County was happy to use the power of the city to finally block the enemy outside the city for ten days, so that he knew the difficulty and retreated, but the situation in Shuozhou is not optimistic." After a pause, Gao Ana Qiu said worriedly: "Now that I am in Daqi mediating with the Zhou army, if the Turks attack again, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist it, and the state is empty, I am afraid that it will give the Turks a chance to take advantage of it, so it is a big bad thing!" ”

Gao Wei's brows suddenly furrowed tightly, he pondered for a long time, and said with some annoyance: "These barbarians will make trouble, and sooner or later I will step on them!" Gao A Aiqing, to summon, let Gao Yanzong serve as the forward general, lead the Imperial City Praetorian Guard 30,000 together with the headquarters of 10,000 horses to attack Pingyang, be sure to break the city within three days, and wipe out the Zhou army in Jinzhou! ”

"Yes!" Gao Anaqiu happily took the order, and before exiting the tent, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Feng Xiaolian, who just lowered his head and fiddled with the fine jade tea set on the table, but his right hand inadvertently drew a circle in the air.

……

On September 25, while Yu Wenxian and others retreated, the Northern Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong appointed Liang Shiyan, the general of Kaifu Yitong, as the assassin of Jinzhou, and led an army of 10,000 to defend the city of Pingyang, Jinzhou, which had just been conquered.

On September 29, Gao Yanzong, the king of Ande of Northern Qi, led an army of 40,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Pingyang City, while Gao Wei led a Chinese army of 100,000 to the rear, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Knowing that Gao Wei led the army to aid Jinzhou, the armies of the Northern Qi Dynasty were assembled in a large manner, and the momentum was grand, Yu Wenyong was not sure of victory for a while, and he did not want to lose too much of his troops, so he urgently summoned the men and horses of all departments to lead the army to retreat to the southwest, and prepared to return to the court to avoid the sharp edge of the Qi army, but this decision was opposed by many generals.

Kaifu Yi and the general Yu Wenxin immediately spoke to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, with your wisdom and martial arts, taking advantage of the enemy's indulgence, how can you not attack the enemy country?" If we miss this opportunity, and a wise monarch appears in the enemy, and then the enemy country is united and united, even if we have the ability to become Tang Zhouwu, it will be even more difficult for us to win! Now that the enemy's monarch is deaf, treacherous and rampant, the court is chaotic, the people's grievances are boiling, and the army has no fighting spirit, it is a good time for our army to send troops. ”

Daying Gongzheng (head coach) Wang Hong also admonished: "Your Majesty, since Gao Zhan, the Qi State has been unorthodox, and of course the law and discipline have lasted for two generations, and now is a good time to destroy them. With just one battle, we can choke their throats, capture the faint king Gao Wei alive, and pocket thousands of miles of land today! The last general is stupid, and I really can't understand why His Majesty ordered the class to return to the court! ”

Other generals such as Yu Wenxian and Yu Ji also spoke out to prevent Yu Wenyong from retreating and returning to the division. In addition to not wanting to give up the fighter plane in front of them, they also didn't want to let go of the low-hanging fruit.

Yu Wenyong stood up, waved his hand, all the voices quickly disappeared, and he glanced at the generals and officials gathered in the tent with a majestic glance, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "You don't need to say anything, I have made up my mind." Yu Wenxian! ”

"The minister is here!"

"I ordered you to be the general of the guard, responsible for blocking and delaying the chasing troops of the Qi State!"

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

"Good! The others quickly went to gather their troops and horses, and immediately set up camp and returned to the division! ”
