The pursuit and killing battle continued until the evening, when the defeated army retreated to the bottom of the mountain and met the 4,000 cavalry that Wang Xu's army had hoarded at the bottom of the mountain, they stopped, and as soon as the 4,000 cavalry arrived, all the defeated troops were either killed or captured, and not a single fish slipped through the net.

Ye Min was tired enough, but she was finally comfortable killing, she looked at Zhang Meng: "Okay, now I'm too hidden, go back and ask for guilt." ”

"Hehe, you fight so bravely, can Your Majesty bear to punish you?"

Ye Minyan smiled, she was indeed very brave just now, and she always rushed to the front; In fact, Zhang Meng didn't kill the enemy much, he was on the side to protect her, and it was precisely because of this that Ye Minyan was not harmed, otherwise, with Ye Minyan's two hits, how could he not be injured.

"Let's go, let's go, let the soldiers clean up the battlefield."

The two came to the top of the mountain, and sure enough, Wang Xu didn't say anything, just said that he would deal with it after returning to the palace, but everyone knows that Zhang Meng has a special identity, and Ye Minyan is his wife, will he be punished?

The answer is no, I'm afraid that big things will turn into small things, so forget it.

That night, the battlefield was cleaned up, and at the same time, the news of Yang Mingyue's retreat also came, Wang Xu's first reaction was to abandon Qianzhu Mountain and go down to join the army, because now the bait of Qianzhu Mountain has lost its due role, no one will come again, and the garrison here is equal to zero.

So, retreat is inevitable!

..........

Northern capital.

Cai Wenzhuo's Mansion.

In the past few days, Cai Wenzhuo's injuries have basically healed, and the rest is rest, as long as you rest well, you can recover as before.

Although Cai Wenzhuo was seriously injured, he has been paying attention to the battle in Bao'an County, it can be said that the war there is involved in the life and death of the Ming Kingdom, whether it is the Eastern Capital to win or the Holy Dynasty to win, the world will change greatly. Things are not the same as before.

"Prime Minister, the little emperor stayed in his bedroom during this time, and he didn't leave half a step."

As soon as Zhu Aoqing's words fell, Cai Wenzhuo waved his hand: "I don't want to hear this." Tell me about the war in Bao'an County. ”

"No."

Zhu Aoqing said: "A few days ago, Lan Yue, the general of Dongjun, personally led 10,000 elites to attack Qianzhu Mountain, but he was completely annihilated by Wang Xu's design, and no one survived. After that, Yang Mingyue led the army to retreat a hundred miles and stationed in the second city east of Qianzhu Mountain, a city called Qingyan City, and it seemed that he would not attack Wang Xu again in a short time. ”

At this point, Cai Wenzhuo sighed: "It seems that the Holy Dynasty is going to win this battle." ”

"Why did the prime minister say that?"

Zhu Aoqing asked.

Cai Wenzhuo said: "Can't you see it? Whether it is the time, the location, or the people, there are many disadvantages in the east. In this case, how could he have won. ”

"The eastern capital crosses the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away from the war, every knife, gun, and grain has to be transported from the eastern county, and the difficulties and obstacles between this are unimaginable; As for Wang Xu, behind him is the imperial capital, which has an endless supply of grain and will continue to provide it to the army. From this point of view, the Holy Dynasty has the upper hand. ”

"Second, and most importantly! On the surface, it seems that the Eastern Capital is very strong. There are 100,000 high-tech troops, but in fact, in the territory of Bao'an County, the role of these 100,000 soldiers is not strong, but Wang Xujun, who has 100,000 elephant soldiers, can play its due role. ”

"So, in any case. The prime minister dared to conclude that in this battle, Wang Xu's army would win! ”

After listening to Cai Wenzhuo's grand remarks, Zhu Aoqing nodded in agreement, think about it carefully, it is true, Wang Xu is not easy to mess with, in the past ten years, he has almost never been defeated, it can be said that the battle must be won, the attack must be won, and the power can be seen.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true." Zhu Aoqing asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

What to do?

Cai Wenzhuo smiled softly: "We don't have to take any action, if Wang Xu wins, it will be very good for us." ”

"The benefits? The last general doesn't understand, and I hope the prime minister will solve his doubts. ”

Cai Wenzhuo said: "If you think about it carefully, if the Eastern Capital wins, then maybe their next step is to destroy our Ming Kingdom, but if Wang Xu wins, but otherwise, he has promised us not to provoke a war within five years, Wang Xu, as the king of a country, will naturally keep his promise; Besides, even if he wants to use troops, I don't think he will attack us, he should attack Dongjun! That's the imperial court, it's a natural enemy! Wang Xu will not let them go, and during this period, we can develop well and accumulate strength for future wars. ”

"The prime minister is wise, but in this way, isn't Wang Xu even stronger, how can we stop it in the future?"

Zhu Aoqing said worriedly.

"Don't worry, with Wang Xu's current power, we are no longer his enemy, are we afraid that he will be stronger? What we need to do now is to mine the grasslands, stock up on food, and become stronger step by step. ”

Cai Wenzhuo said: "Don't forget, in addition to Dongjun, there is also Nandu, if Wang Xu destroys Dongjun, and then destroys Hu State, and finally becomes our enemy, then there is a look, give me ten years, and I have the confidence to fight with the Holy Dynasty!" ”

"Okay, the last general swears to follow the prime minister to the death, but he will be sent by the prime minister."

Zhu Aoqing gave up.

"Well, you go down first, continue to investigate the battle in Bao'an County, and if something happens, you must come to report it."

"Prime Minister, since we have decided to abandon Bao'an County, why should we be distracted by the war there, the last general thinks that we are still self-reliant, which is the best policy."

Cai Wenzhuo didn't know, but he had his plans.

Cai Wenzhuo sat down and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "You don't understand this, I pay attention to the war in Bao'an County, but I don't want to take back Bao'an County, but to look for an opportunity, looking for an opportunity to help Wang Xu of the Holy Dynasty." ”

Help Wang Xu?

Seeing Zhu Aoqing still frowning, Cai Wenzhuo said: "Bao'an County must fall into Wang Xu's hands, even if he can't get it, even if he is defeated, we have to help him get it, in this way, the Holy Dynasty owes us a great favor, and then he will be embarrassed to do it to us, and we can survive in the cracks and become stronger." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Aoqing laughed: "Okay, the prime minister is really resourceful, with the prime minister, I believe that our Ming Kingdom will definitely be the final winner." ”

"Alright, there you go."

"No."

...........

Wang Xu withdrew from Qianzhu Mountain, and all the soldiers and horses joined up with hundreds of thousands of people in the west.

In the west of Qianzhu Mountain, there is a city, called Lingxiao, Lingxiao City is a big city, a radius of hundreds of miles, can be stationed hundreds of thousands of troops, the people are also hundreds of thousands of people, this is not an ordinary county seat, to be precise, here used to be the county king city of Bao'an County, only later because of the anti-thief rebellion, the prince of Bao'an County had no choice but to contain the east of another royal city.
