(26) Hall deliberations
"Report to the prince, General Han Xun led the army back to the camp. ”
Everyone looked out of the tent, but saw a tall figure in sight.
The blood-stained gauze on his left ankle, the torn armor, and the staggering steps showed that the person was not lightly injured.
"Lord Wang, the last general Han Xun returned to the army to receive the crime!"
Han Xun knelt on one knee and stared at Xuanyuan Heng, his cold eyes containing deep guilt.
Several generals stood up in front of the wooden table, all with happy faces.
They had been worried about Han Xun, suspecting that he might never come back, and now they were overjoyed.
Xuanyuan Heng hurriedly walked forward, leaned over to help, and asked with concern, "How is the injury?"
"Lord Wang, Han Xun is only a little injured, don't worry, it's just that the raid on the Chiyan grain depot failed to succeed, and most of the 1,000 silver armor team I brought out lost most of it, and the end will ...... The last general really has no shame to see the prince and the generals!
Han Xun was ashamed of the defeat, and bowed his head and did not dare to get up.
"Say what?"
Tao Gao came out and pulled up the cold mud.
"It's a good thing to be able to come back, the King of Chiyan has been prepared, it's not you, come, sit down first, talk slowly, talk slowly. ”
"Yes, if you want to punish sin, you should also punish me. ”
Xuanyuan Heng also comforted. "Sit down and tell you about yesterday's battle. ”
Han Xun heard Xuanyuan Heng and others say this, and also understood a general idea, and after saluting everyone, he explained the relevant situation in detail.
"Chiyan grain and grass hoarding land, is led by the crown prince Chiyan Yuyi to garrison, they seem to know our actions, our army just entered the periphery of the grain depot, was besieged by several times the bird army, but our bird silver armor army has always been strong in combat, to break through to the ground to set fire to the camp, it is not impossible, but just when the whole team desperately entered the ground, an old man suddenly appeared in the Chiyan army. Hey!"
Han Xun lowered his eyebrows, sighed deeply, and continued: "It's a pity that before I could see his appearance, I was hit by his powerful Yuan Libo, and many soldiers vomited blood and died on the spot, some ...... Some of the brothers were even shaken to pieces......"
Han Xun's voice trembled more and more, and there was pathos in his eyes.
"I deeply feel that the strong attack has been futile, so I can only lead the army to evacuate, and Chi Yan Yuyi took the opportunity to intercept and kill, but unfortunately I have less than 300 left of 1,000 soldiers. We took advantage of the darkness and hid in the jungle before the whole army was wiped out. ”
"It seems that the scab has indeed been prepared. ”
After listening to Han Xun's words, Xuanyuan Heng sighed deeply, and seemed to have something in his words.
"According to what General Han said, that old man should reach the realm of pure gold qi, has Old General Zhu heard of this person?"
Zhu Dan shook his head and was silent.
"It seems that the strength of Chi Yan is far more terrifying than we imagined!"
Xuanyuan Heng paused for a moment, changed his relaxed tone and continued: "The four generals have all arrived, let's get down to business, Wei Yuan, tell me your opinion on evacuating Wanqiu." ”
"This ...... This, Lord Wang, you will withdraw if you say so, and if you say you will keep it, I will listen to you!"
Wei Yuan and Xuanyuan Heng have the most tacit understanding, he knows that Xuanyuan Heng's proposal to withdraw the army must have all the considerations, so he deliberately pretended to be stupid.
"As far as you kid is clever, you can't offend any of them, but you will bring the picker back to me. ”
Xuanyuan's witty tone caused everyone to laugh for a while, breaking the dull atmosphere just now.
He turned his eyes and said solemnly: "My proposal to abandon Wanqiu and retreat to Pushui is based on three considerations.
First, Wanqiu is important, but once the coalition army will be under the city, 600,000 troops, several times the enemy, it may be difficult to resist the city defense of Wanqiu alone, and the evacuation is also a last resort.
Second, Pushui City is located in the hinterland of my Xuanyuan, the city defense is far better than Wanqiu, its fifty miles away from the adjacent Quancheng, can be divided into troops to garrison, each other is the horn, the strategy should be contained, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, and the terrain of Pushui is complex everywhere, the coalition forces come from afar, it is difficult to find out the terrain in a short time, we can take advantage of the geographical advantage, to wait for work, and turn the passive into the active.
Of course, there is also a crucial point, and it is also the point that I am most worried about, Han Xun was ordered to raid the Chiyan grain depot, and there were only three people......"
Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Heng subconsciously paused for a moment, and his eyes flashed a little flickering and solemn.
"Han Xun was ordered to raid the Chiyan grain depot, only a few people know, everyone here, including Mrs. Eying, did not know in advance, as Han Xun said just now, it can be seen that the coalition army has long known the movements of our army, of course, the Chiyan military division Jiang Li is witty, and it is not surprising that he can anticipate the first, but the 50,000 horses of Lanling can sneak into the vicinity of Wanqiu quietly from the heavily guarded Biyuan Pass, and also know the specific number of troops defending the city, which can be concluded ......"
"From this, it can be concluded that there are spies in our army. Daddy, is what Xing'er said right?"
An immature voice outside the tent took Xuanyuan Heng's words.
Everyone looked out of the door curtain in amazement, but saw Xuanyuan Star striding into the hall.
Yu Yue also soon followed.
"Xing'er, why did you run the military tent, my father and uncles are discussing the military, and I don't take Yue'er to play elsewhere. ”
Gongsun Eying pretended to be angry and got up to take away the two children.
"Madame, don't drive him away. ”
Wei Yuan smiled and persuaded. "Xing'er is very clever, every time I discuss the military situation with the prince, he will come to join in the fun, don't say it, every time, he can still talk about the point, but it's amazing! Come on, Xing'er, sit next to your Uncle Yuan." ”
As he was talking, Wei Yuanqiang pulled the two children and sat down beside him.
Regulus grimaced at his mother.
"Hmph! Xing'er is right, there is indeed a traitor who leaked the news, in my opinion, this spy is probably not an ordinary small character. ”
Tao Gao slammed his fist on the table, a little indignant.
"What the prince said is reasonable, we have to withdraw to Pushui, and we have to hurry up, than Yuanguan is only a few thousand miles away from Wanqiu, and the Lanling army will arrive in ten days, and more than half a month. Lord, withdraw, let's withdraw quickly!"
Tao Gao changed his previous attitude, and his determination to withdraw seemed to be more resolute than everyone present.
"General Tao, how do you love to read when I don't see you on weekdays!"
Zhu Dan, who was sitting next to him, said a sentence coldly, and everyone didn't know what it meant.
"Hey, I said Lao Zhu, we're discussing the withdrawal of troops now, why are you talking about reading books?"
Tao Gao grabbed the short hair on his head violently, and he was also confused.
"Who patted his chest just now and said that he wanted to defend Wanqiu, no, he had to withdraw quickly in the blink of an eye.
Some people don't like to read books on weekdays, but this is much faster than turning a book!"
Zhu Dan still stroked his beard and said something against Tao Gao unhurriedly, which caused everyone to laugh for a while.
And Tao Gao also knew that he was reckless just now, his face flushed, and he smirked.
The discussion was decided, Xuanyuan Heng drew up the route and time of the withdrawal, and ordered the generals to return to the camp for deployment.
"Daddy, just now you said that Uncle Hanxun raided the grain depot, and even my mother didn't tell me, only the three of them knew, which three people were they?"
Xuanyuan Xing had heard Xuanyuan Heng say outside the tent before, and he was smart enough to quickly grasp the key.
He knew that his father had scruples, but he didn't say anything at the time.
At this time, all the generals had left, and he came to Xuanyuan Heng, rolled his big eyes, and asked in a low voice, wanting to find out.
"Where are there three people?Yue'er, have you heard any three people coming?"
Xuanyuan Heng didn't want Xuanyuan Xing to know too much, after all, he was still too young, so he deliberately transferred the question to Xuan Yue, he knew that Xuan Yue was coming later, and most likely he didn't hear his previous conversation.
Yan Yue shook her head, looking dazed.
"Daddy, don't be blind. Xing'er dares to conclude that among the three people, one of them is you, and one of the other two must be a spy, or both! I'm afraid that Daddy already knows, but I'm afraid of startling the snake, so I don't mention it, hum, right Daddy!"
Xuanyuan Heng and Gongsun Eying looked at their children, so well-behaved and smart, they were really full of relief.
But he was worried that at a young age, he would be involved in a power struggle of intrigue, and his heart was full of emotion.
For a while, the two didn't know how to respond.
"Xing'er, these are the things of your father and uncles, you are still young, and you may not understand what you say. ”
Gongsun Eying took the lead in speaking and relieved Xuanyuan Heng.
"Yes, Xing'er, many things are not as simple as they seem, and you will understand when you are older. By the way, I almost forgot, Daddy has something that Xing'er needs to do!"
Xuanyuan Heng had to divert the subject.
"I always say I'm small, I'm ten years old. ”
Xuanyuan Xing pouted, his face full of helplessness.
"Say, my god of war, what can I do for you!"
"You kid!"
Xuanyuan shook his head and smiled: "You follow Yue'er, go to the guest room to visit Uncle Zisong and Aunt Susu, and invite them to dine in the pavilion in the back mountain tonight." Your mother is going to cook herself!"
"Of course, if we Xing'er are greedy for fun and have no time, then forget it. ”
Gongsun Eying deliberately made it bad.
"It's free, it's free, it's free! ”
After speaking, Xuanyuan Xing pulled the moon and ran to the back mountain.
What happened just now has long been thrown out of the clouds.
