"Bastard thing! Why don't you die! ”

Gongsun Ao brandished his horsewhip and roared, three hours ago, three hundred miles southeast of where he was standing at the moment, if it weren't for the carrier pigeon desperately crossing the fierce bird of prey wandering area, I am afraid he would not be able to receive the battle report on time, maybe he would crash into the encirclement network carefully prepared by the Huns, and then be dismantled and killed in eight pieces I don't know how to die. ◎

Before the war officially started, the 10,000 cavalry of Gongsun Hebu took the lead in suffering a crushing defeat.

At this moment, the Fifth Route Army was in a dilemma, and it was foreseeable that the Huns were prepared, and if they continued to the north according to the original plan, they would be defeated.

The bad thing is that the evaluation of public opinion is crazy to belittle the Huns, and it is also crazy to belittle the strategic significance of the Battle of Yanmen and the Battle of Yinshan, and its inner meaning lies in the emperor Liu Che who sat in the Jianzhang Palace, he felt that the general Cao Shi was very unlevel, so no matter how great the merit of the general was not good, on the other hand, the Son of Heaven felt that the general was comparable to Han Xin, so even if the general did not have such dazzling merits, he would be touted out of the clouds.

The emperor's self-esteem is very strong, can accept the defeat of the battle, can not accept the escape without a fight, before leaving Chang'an, the Son of Heaven has repeatedly ordered five reiterates to emphasize military discipline, strictly implement the strategic objectives set by the imperial court, and carry forward the spirit of the Han army not afraid of hardship and death.

The young soldiers of the Northern Army were greatly encouraged, and they were eager to immediately grab a few Huns and tear them apart, and the enthusiastic young soldiers walked in a neat pace. The majestic and high-spirited crossing of the Yellow River to crusade against the unprincipled northern Yidi, when he heard these words, he didn't feel wrong. In retrospect, it turned out to be a bottomless pit.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and Gongsun Ao's face turned pale with fright. This is a typical city gate fire and the pond fish, I have long heard that the relationship between the general and the captain is very poor, several times the general of the cavalry did not go to the court meeting of the captain Tian Wei made a lot of nonsense, sarcastic that a certain general who is good at fighting is a parallel commodity who is not worthy of the name, and fighting a good battle can not be regarded as a skill.

The implication seems to imply that the general of the Che Cavalry is lucky, the destruction of Sanyue is the inner contribution of the Dongou King, the destruction of Yelang is by a surprise sneak attack, and the battle of Yanmen is also a rampage with strong soldiers and horses. The battle of Yinshan is also a typical counterexample of blindly rushing and fighting, any general who has read the war book and war strategy will shake his head, it is not called a war at all, it is purely nonsense, it is really good luck to achieve that result, and anyone can make such a big result, and a general who knows the army may double the result.

Of course, Taiwei Tian Wei's words have always been unreliable, and the three princes and nine kings have always discounted his words, especially the dismissal of the Son of Heaven on the grounds that the prince Wang Pifang is ill. Among the newly appointed Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, only the Great Agricultural Order and Shaofu were born as meritorious princes, and their influence and status were not as good as a few years ago.

Is the general of the chariot cavalry good?

The North and South armies will tell you the correct answer. The people of the border counties will tell you the real situation, and the residents of Chang'an a few months ago will also give you a standard response in unison, but time has passed, and you are walking in the streets and alleys of Chang'an. Ask any common merchant about the evaluation of the Che Cavalry General, and more people will look around cautiously. Or give an ambiguous answer.

Obviously, the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven played a great role in facilitating this. Tian Wei led the relatives and the favored ministers who were loved by the Son of Heaven, and systematically slandered the Huns and the Che Cavalry General, which did bring great harm to the Che Cavalry General and the meritorious princes behind him.

In the past winter, the general of the Che Cavalry turned a deaf ear to the slanders that came from time to time in the imperial court, and stayed in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion outside Chang'an City to live a small life, until the imperial court sent an envoy to urge him to leave as soon as possible, and he went to Longxi County to preside over the offensive against the Right Xian King.

When Cao Shi stayed away from Chang'an City again, at that moment, the civil and military officials in Chang'an City really thought that the Marquis of Pingyang was completely finished, and if he left the emperor's favor, even if you had eight arms, it was useless.

The gods fight and the imps suffer.

Gongsun Ao's mouth was bitter, everyone said that the Xiongnu were weak and could be bullied, and many scholars in Chang'an City lived by compiling jokes published in tabloids, the content was roughly that the stupid and ugly Huns were beaten by the heroic Han army and lost their armor and fled, the synopsis of the story was the same and lacked novelty, but the residents of Chang'an loved to read such a heartless story, because every Han person was shrouded in the shadow of a strong neighbor in the north for decades.

Finally got up to turn over and sing, every Han people will be happy from the bottom of their hearts, and even the jokes with ridicule and sarcasm of the Huns are also more, from the most traditional folk tales to more modern newspaper jokes, all forms of smearing the Huns have simply evolved to the point of madness, I don't know who got the detailed information about the Huns, almost the military minister Shan Yu and the Huns are portrayed as natural bad people with sores on the top of the head and pus under the feet.

The Xiongnu prince is an imbecile with a stunted IQ, the king of Zuo Xian and the king of right Xian are either deaf or blind, the king of Zuogu Li is a psychologically distorted madman, and the king of right valley Li is a congenital deformity of the semi-crippled, none of the Xiongnu nobles is a normal appearance, at least he has to be a half-fool who stutters and drools, this kind of story is the most popular in Chang'an City, and now I think about the description with ulterior motives but brings great interference to the generals of the Han army.

Everyone said that the Huns were Tuo Xiang, one person said that two people were talking about the whole world, at this time, a small number of rational people who were originally calm and insisted on will also be shaken, and the story of the thousand people who died without illness and the destruction of the bones tells people not to try to be right with a wider range of people, even if you are right, the public is wrong.

In such a frenzied atmosphere, the cavalry general Cao Shi chose to remain silent, not only taking over the title of the most water general in history and being kicked out of Chang'an City, but also watching the emperor make a decision to set the scene of the five-way expedition to the Huns and the capture of the military minister Shan Yu in Longcheng, which is really just a very creative drama, and acting can never become real.

Two hours ago, 300 miles away, Gongsun He, who was known as the Huns' know-it-all, suffered a defeat and fled back to Yuyang County without saying a word, and Tian Wei, the Taiwei of Shuofang County, has not heard the news of the march so far, counting the Gongsun Ao Department who set out from Yunzhong County, as well as Wei Qing and Wang Xin's two armies in the desert grassland north of Yanmen County and Shanggu County to continue to implement the original plan.

Three of the five main generals of the Five Route Army are relatives, namely Taiwei Tian Wei, Lieutenant Wang Xin, Taizhong Doctor Wei Qing, and a light car general Gongsun He is a confidant of Enze, calculated to be a general who has Gongsun Ao is killed with real skills, although he stays in Guanzhong all the year round to guard Chang'an's Ping Domain, but he is at least a general who has received decades of professional training, compared to the other four relatives who don't know much about the soldiers, Gongsun Ao is still much more reliable.

Before leaving, I didn't think that it would be like this, just got started with the Taiwei Tian Wei became an invisible person, the Hun Tonggong Sun He's face and pants were lost, and the remaining three ways to fight are not not to fight, and the embarrassment is that even the heart of death is gone, and the front line commander has to be considered again and again when he is Bai Qi and Han Xin's resurrection, no matter how good your skills are, you will still be killed when you meet a pig teammate.

But will he be able to retreat? No.

He carries the ardent expectations of the Son of Heaven on his shoulders, and bears the heartfelt support of millions of Han people in the border counties, retreating means violating the orders of the Son of Heaven and betraying the expectations of the Han people, the political black spots will accompany him for the rest of his life, and his career and future will come to an end, how dare Gongsun Ao take such a big political risk, even if all these 10,000 people die, they have to rush forward.

The cavalry of the northern army surrounded them, struggling whether they should continue to advance, and Gongsun Ao blew the wind for a while and was surrounded by groups as soon as he walked back.

"General, what shall we do?"

"Keep going." Gongsun Ao gritted his teeth and said.

"I feel that it is better to retreat and wait for a good opportunity, after all, the new defeat of General Qingche has greatly affected the morale of our army......"

"No, move on, don't forget that we are entrusted by the Son of Heaven by the Baqiao, who can bear the responsibility of retreating without a fight?"

The young soldiers of the Northern Army fell into silence, they recalled the blood-boiling Zhuangxing banquet a month ago, the Son of Heaven personally came to the Baqiao to toast farewell to 50,000 soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, the oath at the Zhuangxing banquet became a heavy burden, and the Huns did not look back, maybe they were really going to die in the north.

Gongsun Ao couldn't bear to turn his head, the young and immature faces, the beautiful life of young people in their twenties has just passed less than half, and there is still a beautiful life waiting for them to pursue in the future, but now they must face the dilemma of war or death, whether to fight or not to fight or to die, what should they do?

The heavy burden in his heart was pressed on his heart, like a boiling oil pot enduring torment all the time, Gongsun Ao hesitated: "If I don't fight a dozen and retreat, how can my personal honor and disgrace be compared with more than 10,000 fresh lives?" ”

His entanglement did not last too long, and there were signs of activities near the Hun scouts in several directions at the same time, indicating that the nearby Hun cavalry was rapidly approaching here, leaving little time for the Han army to continue the entanglement.

The young soldiers of the Northern Army eagerly looked forward to it, and finally pierced through Gongsun Ao's firm and cold will, and the old general sighed: "Pass my order, retreat a hundred miles and camp, and go straight to Longcheng Don't worry about it, we must live, only by living can we have hope of going straight to Longcheng." ”

Gongsun Ao turned his horse's head and stared in the direction of Dragon City, as if he had seen the grassland Xiongcheng in the north of the desert through thousands of mountains and rivers, and the biggest ideal of every Han general for decades was to step on Dragon City, which was the proudest achievement as a general.
