While Chu Huan was considering marching to the eastern front, Mo Wuyi was already thinking about retreating to Liaodong.

The secret letter sent by Liaodong made Mo Wuyi shocked, compared to the death of Red Liandian and King Han, the deaths of Wu Xuan and Zhu Wen were nothing, he never expected that at this most critical time, there would be such a major change in Liaodong.

He no longer had the heart to think about why Chi Lian Dian and King Han would die one after another, but now the most important thing was the life and death of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.

In the city of Fallen Horse, 30,000 infantry have been gathered, and more than 20,000 cavalry have crossed Yanshan to gather in Fallen Horse City, and the total number of infantry cavalry has reached more than 60,000, and there are at least nearly 20,000 cavalry on the way, and they are crossing Yanshan to assemble in Fallen Horse City.

The grain and grass in the army, although it is simple to eat, but it can only last for twenty days at most, which is already the limit, and I was counting on more grain and grass to help in Liaodong, but there have been earth-shattering changes in Liaodong, and whether the grain and grass can still be delivered smoothly is still unknown.

However, even if the grain and grass were really delivered smoothly and there was sufficient food and grass supplements, Mo Wuyi now had no intention of continuing to march into the army.

The root cause of the Liaodong Army's dispatch of troops is nothing more than that the King of Han used the Red Refining Electricity as a hostage, forcing the Thirty-six Cavalry to lead the army to send troops, go straight to Hexi, and capture Dingwu, and Mo Wuyi's idea is also to hope to catch Dingwu and exchange it for the Red Refining Electric from the hands of the King of Han.

Speaking from the heart, the world is in turmoil, the Qin State collapsed, and people with a little strength are at such a historical moment, no one wants to take advantage of the situation, even if they can't achieve the emperor's business, they also want to dominate one side.

Although Mo Wuyi is a brave warrior, he still has self-knowledge, others are not clear, but he is like a mirror in his heart, this time he commanded nearly 100,000 Liaodong troops, it can be said that he drove ducks to the shelves, very reluctantly, since the start of the war, in fact, he only relied on the strength of the Liaodong Army's soldiers, horses, and strong people, and forcibly broke through Yanshan, and there were not many tactics.

Leading 8,000 people, Mo Wuyi thought that he was still more than enough, but leading an army of 100,000 was extremely difficult.

Nearly 100,000 Liaodong soldiers are 100,000 thoughts, and there are many factions, to integrate the various factions to form a fist, and to set up clever tactics to fight openly and secretly with the heroes of the world, Mo Wuyi asked himself if he really didn't have such ability.

At present, the Liaodong Army can still be a whole, and the reason for this is nothing more than the power of the red refining electricity.

He knew very well in his heart that the Liaodong Army's struggle for hegemony in the world was indispensable to the Red Refining Electricity, as long as the Red Refining Electricity was alive, it would be able to integrate the Liaodong Army and let the Liaodong Army work together to sweep the world.

At the beginning, Chi Lian Dian saw the division of factions within the Liaodong Army, but it was ambiguous, it was nothing more than hoping to use it to serve as a check and balance, and the ultimate purpose of Red Lian Dian was nothing more than to let the Liaodong Army have no one who could compare with him, except for him Red Lian Dian, no one could control the 100,000 tigers and wolves in Liaodong.

If the Red Refining Electricity is there, the Liaodong Army will certainly be ironclad, making any opponent fearful, but without the Red Refining Electricity, all kinds of contradictions and problems existing in the Liaodong Army will pour out like a flood.

The original strategic purpose of the Liaodong Army, with the death of Chi Liandian, has already collapsed in the whole situation, and Mo Wuyi can't think of any reason to continue to march into the army.

Red refining electricity is dead, even if you send troops to Hujin and really catch Ding Wu, you can't get back the living red refining electricity, but to continue to march and fight with the Northwest Army for Hexi, this is not child's play, there is no proper plan and full preparation, to compete with the Northwest Army, which is one of the best today.

Even if Mo Wuyi really had the intention to use the strength of the Liaodong Army to fight the Northwest Army, once the news of Chi Lian's death came, the Liaodong Army would definitely collapse completely, and the Liaodong Army in the war would definitely be doomed.

Chi Liandian was bent on making himself the only person who could control the army of Liaodong and make himself the Dinghai Divine Needle of Liaodong, but he obviously didn't think about it, once he encountered an accident, no one in the entire Liaodong could replace him, and it was impossible for a person who could deter the various factions and integrate them into one.

Success is also red refining electricity, and defeat is also red refining electricity.

Mo Wuyi knew that the news of Chi Lian Dian's death could not be concealed for a long time, and it would soon spread, and once it reached the army, anything could happen.

He believed that Chu Huan must have sent secret agents to wander around the city of Fallen Horses, and he might not even have lurked in the city, and if there was an accident in the Liaodong Army, with Chu Huan's style of acting, he would definitely not miss the opportunity.

The top priority at the moment is to withdraw the troops before there is an accident in the army, otherwise once the opportunity is seized by the Northwest Army, it is difficult for Mo Wuyi to imagine what the consequences will be.

Although Mo Wuyi was anxious, he still kept calm at this time and did not mess up.

Half of the thirty-six horsemen were in the city, and after receiving the secret letter from Liaodong, Mo Wuyi immediately summoned the thirty-six horsemen in the city to discuss the next countermeasures.

The door was closed, the atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn, and after learning from Mo Wuyi's mouth that Liaodong was shocked, everyone's faces were almost shocked and cold.

It was very cold and windy, but the temperature inside the house seemed to be even cooler than outside.

"You all know the situation." Mo Wuyi is the head of the thirty-six horsemen, and he is still quite powerful in front of everyone, "Where to go, let's talk about it." ”

"If that's the case, we'll have to withdraw our troops first." There was silence in the room for a moment, and finally there was a humanitarian: "The army is outside, and the dragons in Liaodong are leaderless, maybe someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos, even the soldiers are also demoralized, once the news of the death of the electric marshal spreads, there will definitely be changes in the army!" ”

Mo Wuyi bowed slightly, and said, "You mean to say that you will withdraw the troops back to Liaodong first?" ”

"Not bad." Another said: "Even if the morale of the soldiers is high and they are brave and good at fighting, but if there is a fire in the backyard, how can the front line continue?" It is only a few days' journey to the west, where the Northwest Army is located, and if we want to engage the Northwest Army, it is absolutely impossible to distinguish the victory and defeat in a single battle, and it is very likely that we will fall into a protracted war. ”

Many people nodded their heads in agreement.

Although not all of the 36 cavalry have the talent to command the troops, the basic truth is still clear: once a war with the Northwest Army starts, it is easy to fight, but it is even more difficult to strike the troops and truce.

The best way is, of course, to withdraw to Liaodong first, first solve the internal contradictions in Liaodong, and then find an opportunity to plot to expand outward, even if it is impossible to expand outward, with Yanshan as a barrier, coupled with the strong Liaodong Iron Cavalry, it is not a choice to keep a corner of Liaodong.

Mo Wuyi's gaze fell on Kou Ying, and seeing that Kou Ying was thoughtful, he asked softly, "Kou Ying, what do you think?" ”

Kou Ying looked up at Mo Wuyi and said, "Attack, offense is the best defense!" ”

As soon as he spoke, the room suddenly became noisy.

Mo Wuyi frowned slightly, but still said, "You mean, instead of withdrawing troops, you have to attack forward?" He added, "The offensive you are talking about, of course, is pointing to the offensive of the Northwest Army." ”

Kou Ying stood up and looked around before saying, "Brothers, in your opinion, what kind of person is Chu Huan?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Kou Ying had already said: "Looking at the world, the strength of the Northwest Army, I'm afraid that only my Liaodong Army can compete with one of them, if the electric marshal is alive, Chu Huan is naturally not the opponent of the electric marshal, and my Liaodong Iron Cavalry will swallow Chu Huan sooner or later, but this time is different from the past, the electric marshal has passed away, and it is not easy for us to eat the Northwest Army again." ”

Someone nodded slightly, deeply agreed.

His words also showed that Mo Wuyi's ability was far from being comparable to that of Red Refining Electricity, and even that of Chu Huan.

Mo Wuyi's expression was calm and he didn't speak.

"Chu Huan, most of us have never seen him, but about him, I think your brothers have heard about him to some extent." Kou Ying said: "Back then, the northwest was in turmoil, and even the Qin State was no longer able to intervene in the situation in the northwest, but he only sent Chu Huan to go, do you still remember that after Dianshuai knew that Chu Huan went to the northwest, he also laughed and said that he just went to a ghost who died unjustly!" ”

"Dianshuai did say this back then, but even Dianshuai didn't expect that this person would come back to life in the northwest, not only did he not die in the northwest, but became a veritable king of the northwest." There is a person next to it.

Kou Ying sneered: "Being able to dominate the chaos in the northwest, not only control the three northwest roads in a short period of time, but also take advantage of the chaos to capture the Xishan Road and march into the Hexi Road, everyone, don't you think that Chu Huan is not only talented, but also ambitious, and his ambition is not small, since he knows that the force that can compete with his Northwest Army today is my Liaodong Army, if we don't mess with him, do you think that he will not come to move us?" ”

"Naturally not." Immediately, someone said: "Chu Huan is afraid that he has long been eyeing us in Liaodong. ”

"Not bad." Kou Ying said: "We are stationed in Macheng, Chu Huan will inevitably feel that we will capture Wuping Mansion next, and he must be extremely concerned about the movements of our army, everyone, let me ask, if you are Chu Huan, at this time, the Liaodong army suddenly retreated, I don't know what you think?" ”

"If I were Chu Huan, I would guess that there are many soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and it is at the time when the army is in full swing when it breaks through Yanshan and enters Hexi at any cost, and there is only one possibility to withdraw troops at this time." A person next to Kou Ying looked solemn and said thoughtfully: "That is a big change in Liaodong, and this kind of change even makes the Liaodong Army have to withdraw its troops." ”

Kou Ying immediately said: "That's right, with Chu Huan's ability, it's impossible not to guess this. That being the case, do you think Chu Huan will be indifferent? ”

"As long as we withdraw our troops, he will definitely send people to pursue them." Immediately, someone said: "Even if we are worried that we will set up an ambush and will not attack directly, the Northwest Army will definitely follow us like a hunting dog, and as long as they see the opportunity, they will definitely bite us." ”

Kou Ying Zhengse said: "So at the moment, not only can we not withdraw our troops, but we must send troops forward to attack Wuping Mansion, and only by advancing can we ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
