Chapter 364: Do you have the courage to chase?

Early the next morning, the Mohui left He Da Hebu's camp with dozens of personal soldiers, and he didn't say a word to Chen Wanrong all night, which made Chen Wanrong's heart full of fear. She was humiliated by Li Xian last night, and when she left in the morning, she suddenly figured out one thing, a very terrible thing.

A: Lang Changhong is already dead, if ...... If Mo doesn't want her anymore, will she really become like a wandering, with no more owners to rely on? Once this thought came out, it spread irrepressibly, and she felt that her body and heart became as cold as falling into an ice cave. She slammed up from the bed and rushed out of the tent, but she didn't see the back of Mo Hui leaving.

She felt that she had lost so much, that she would be left alone if she didn't catch anything.

In an instant, the fear and panic she had when she escaped from Jiangnan more than twenty years ago surged out, and the burning Nanchen Palace and the Great Sui soldiers wielding horizontal knives and killing people seemed to appear in front of her eyes again.

"You are Qingqing's mother."

She was in a trance, but in a panic she remembered the words before the motorcycle left last night, which made her eyes light up, as if she saw a life-saving straw.

"Yes!"

She couldn't help but whisper in surprise: "I am Qingqing's mother, and Ai Jin will not want me." ”

Chen Wanrong felt that she had been drained of all her strength, and she leaned weakly against the door of the big tent to watch the direction of her husband's departure. I don't know what's wrong, but she suddenly wants to cook a meal for Mo Hui herself.

Mosda left the camp with dozens of guards, but he didn't take Mostar with him, even though he trusted him the most right now, and it was because of this that he kept Mostar in the clan. There can no longer be any more chaos in the tribe, and He Da He is facing the biggest crisis in history. So he must deal with it carefully, if he is lucky, maybe He Da He can rise from the ruins and become the overlord who rules the entire Khitan tribe. If you are unlucky, it may not be long before the tribe will be burned by the anger of the other Khitan tribes.

He was going to Qingniu Lake, and last night he had already sent his own soldiers to contact the leaders of other Khitan tribes left behind, and agreed to meet at Qingniu Lake. He didn't know if word had spread that the Turks had conquered his tribe, and now he could only hope for the promise of the Black Knife Khan.

Li Xian told him that on the day of the attack on He Dahebu, all the grassland herdsmen within a radius of fifty miles had been slaughtered, so there was no need to worry about the news leaking out, but how could the Mo Society not worry? The grassland is too big to block any news. Nervousness, that's all there is to the mood of the Mohui at this time.

Galloping all the way to Qingniu Lake, Mohui lived in the two-story small wooden building he built for his daughter Ou Si Qingqing by the lake.

All he had to do was wait, waiting for the leaders of the other tribes to arrive, or no one at all.

……

……

By the time the Mokai left the tribal camp, the weather on the grassland had become cold, and in November, the grasslands of the Murowei people, the deepest part of the grassland, had begun to snow, and the north wind swept the blades of grass violently, and the beautiful grassland became full of murder because of the arrival of the cold.

At the same time, the war outside Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui, had come to an end.

At first, Li Mi, the Duke of Pushan, who led 200,000 people from the Green Forest, fought smoothly and defeated the imperial reinforcements from several counties one after another. The men and horses of Wagangzhai in Dongjun also blocked his most taboo opponent, Qi County, and the army of soldiers guarding Zhang Xutuo, so that he could concentrate on attacking the eastern capital of the Great Sui, but the walls of the eastern capital Luoyang were indeed too strong and tall, and he personally commanded the army to besiege for several months, but still failed to break through this Xiongcheng.

So Li Mi, who always seemed to be personable, also became restless, and he kept urging his subordinates to step up the siege of the city, but after the fierce attack in the past few months, every green forest man and horse has suffered heavy losses. After the excitement and pride of the initial siege of the eastern capital of the Great Sui gradually cooled, the leading green forest heroes began to feel distressed by the large attrition of the team. They were all bewitched by Li Mi to find a bright future, and each of them received Li Mi's promise.

In today's army, there are generals, generals, governors, and even Li Mi has made several county dukes. But when the men and horses under his command have become fewer and fewer, these generals and generals have to become slammering. He has also become more and more humble and polite, and he has politely conceded to others on the question of whose turn is to attack.

The defenders in the eastern capital of the Great Sui held out until October, and it seemed that winter was coming, but they felt that spring was coming, and even the cold weather became lovely.

There is no other reason, and the men and horses who went north to Yanmen Pass to rescue them have returned one after another, especially those soldiers with strong combat effectiveness and well-equipped government soldiers have taken the lead in rushing back non-stop, and then launched an attack on the green forest people and horses on the periphery of the eastern capital under the command of the generals of the guards. The tired Green Forest Rebel Army, which had been dragged down, could not stop the fierce offensive of the government soldiers, and the leaders who came with the purpose of worshipping the marquis could not see their hope of soaring and withdrew.

In just half a month, Li Mi's men have been sharply reduced by half.

After that, bad news came one after another.

Dou Jiande of Hebei Province, who was about to lead the army to support him, was entangled by Xue Shixiong, the general of the Great Sui Left Imperial Guard, who led the army south, and could not withdraw from it. The army of the sailors led by the general of the Great Sui Navy, Lai Hu'er, is also less than two days away from the eastern capital, and if the sailors arrive, the heroes of the green forest north of the Yellow River will undoubtedly be blocked from returning.

Therefore, there are more rebels who have fled.

Li Mi had no choice but to order the army to withdraw. Qu Tutong, who stayed behind in the eastern capital, took the opportunity to lead the army to kill, and chased and killed the rebels for a while, killing more than 20,000 enemies, and there were countless escapees. Li Mi only took a few hundred dead soldiers to fight his way out of the siege, and had no choice but to go to Dong County to take refuge in Wagangzhai.

Fortunately, after receiving the news, Zhai Rang made Shan Xiongxin lead 10,000 riders to pick up Li Mi and rushed back to Wagangzhai overnight. It's just that in this way, the strength of Wagangzhai after the separation of the people and horses seems to be thin, and Zhang Xutuo, the general guard of Qi County, seized the opportunity and led the army to attack, Zhai Rang was defeated in successive battles, and was forced to guard the gate of the village and did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle.

Zhang Xutuo learned that the emperor had been freed from the predicament, and the thousands of cavalry led by Qin Qiong also rushed back day and night, coupled with the successive victories, he saw the hope of pacifying Wagangzhai, so he decided not to return to Qi County for the time being, and when Qin Qiong came back, he attacked together and tried to exterminate Wagangzhai.

In less than half a year, the Great Sui was surging.

Li Mi's 200,000 fierce rebels collapsed in an instant after the official army returned in October, and the people of the imperial court frantically pursued and killed the Green Forest Rebels, only in this month, the rebels on both sides of the Yellow River who besieged the eastern capital were almost wiped out, and hundreds of thousands of people died in this early winter season, and the remains of dead bodies can be seen everywhere.

This winter, it is destined to die a lot of people.

……

……

Five miles outside Wagangzhai is the big camp of the county soldiers of Qi County, and the men and horses of Wagangzhai have been fighting for several months, although relying on the brave soldiers and Zhang Xutuo's command is correct and even the battle is victorious, the losses of the county soldiers are not very large, but after leaving their hometown for a few months, the soldiers are also homesick, and the war-weariness has begun to spread in the barracks.

Zhang Xutuo didn't know that his team was unstable, and he decided to stay and withdraw his troops after destroying Wagangzhai, which was actually a last resort. Qu Tongtu, who stayed behind in the eastern capital, kept sending people to urge him to rush to the eastern capital to rescue, but the people and horses of Qi County were stuck by Wagangzhai and couldn't get out at all. He attacked, and the people of Wagangzhai couldn't stop him and retreated, and he wanted to make a detour to the eastern capital, and the people of Wagangzhai tore and bit from behind.

When the siege of the Eastern Capital had been resolved, Qu Tongtu was even more angry with Zhang Xutuo, who had not come for a long time. He sent someone to tell Zhang Xutuo that he could only return to the army after he exterminated Wagangzhai. Otherwise, he will write a memo and present it to His Majesty the Emperor in Jiangdu, and govern the soldiers of Qi County for the crime of not being able to fight well and shirk the blame.

This forced Zhang Xutuo to have to fight to the death with Wagangzhai, if he retreated, not only would he be punished, but he was afraid that he would also affect many Qi County children. He didn't want his subordinates who were loyal to the Great Sui to be charged with treason, so that the dead soldiers wouldn't even get a pension!

Therefore, he would rather let the soldiers finish this battle, even if the losses are greater, but the soldiers can return home with glory.

Without the two right-hand men of Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong by his side, Zhang Xutuo, who is over fifty years old, really feels a little powerless. Although he has won consecutive battles in these days, he can't turn his advantage into victory, and he has no generals under him, so he can only watch a few brave generals in Wagangzhai fight in defeat, and withdraw with the soldiers of Wagangzhai.

Therefore, he especially hoped that Qin Qiong could come back sooner, so that the pressure on his shoulders could be eased.

Fortunately, Zhai let the ghost deluded his mind and messed up, and actually divided his troops to meet the defeated and fleeing Li Mi on the occasion of the battle between the two armies, and there were 10,000 less elite soldiers in Wagangzhai, and even less Shan Xiongxin, a tiger general who could rush back and forth in the army, with Zhang Xutuo's leading ability, how could he not seize this opportunity? It's just that after the offensive for several days in a row, the soldiers of Wagangzhai who retreated to the base camp knew the truth that the city was broken and died, so the defense of the city was particularly fierce.

It was late at night, and the lights in Zhang Xutuo's tent were still bright.

He and several generals stood in front of the sand table, still trying to figure out how to defeat the enemy.

"There is no shortage of food in Wagang Village!"

General Geng San frowned and said: "But we are short of food, so we can only seek a quick solution, it will not take a long time, and in ten days our grain and grass will be exhausted." ”

General Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "But the people of Wagangzhai can't hold out, and we lack siege equipment in our hands, so it's difficult to take Wagangzhai in a short time." ”

"When we came to relieve the siege of the Eastern Capital, who would have thought that we would be stopped by Wagangzhai for so many days. If you knew that you were going to attack the city, you should bring more siege things. ”

Geng San said with annoyance: "Who would have thought that we would break the siege and come here, but we would attack the city? ”

"It would be nice if I could lure Zhai Rang out of the city."

Zhang Yuan said confidently: "In the plain field battle, when did our Qi County people and horses lose?" ”

"Tempting the ......"

Zhang Xutuo frowned, and then said slowly: "If we withdraw our troops, after suffering a few big losses, will Zhai Rang still have the courage to chase after us?" ”
