Chapter 297: Defeated in the Snow Field

The Northern Expedition of Honkai 7 years is destined to go down in history, in the war that lasted for several months, the Republic of Zhihui and the Northern rebels together left a total of more than 100,000 corpses of soldiers, and the sad Xuchang City was killed by the artillery fire of begonias 700,000 lives, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

In this war, the performance of the cold kite is beyond everyone's understanding.

When everyone thought that it was difficult for Leng Kite to advance north, she smashed the rebels' defense line with a great depth of combat.

When everyone thought that Leng Kite would be blocked by the stubborn strategy, she broke the deadlock with Xuchang's slaughter.

Everyone thought that Leng Kite would stop at the Yellow River, the landing of the Bohai Sea, and the surprise attack of Shimen brought about a shocking reversal.

When people turned their eyes to the elite tiger division of the Jingu rebels, thinking that this would be the hope of the rebels to turn the tables, the roar of the blood fury dragon shocked the whole world.

Unconsciously, those who are not optimistic about the glory of the republic quietly discovered that Leng Kite had mastered the overall situation, beat the former mentor Jiangzong all over the ground, mercilessly smashed the myth that Jiangzong was invincible, and shocked Huaxia.

Then Leng Kite went north again, breaking through the enemy's border, and even though the other side received federal assistance, the flood of Lake Baikal still drowned the hopes of the rebels.

Finally, people's attitudes changed, and the enemies who despised the cold kite were terrified, and the swaying wall grass began to consider whether to be with the eagle generals.

However, just when everyone thought that Leng Kite had created a miracle and was about to enter the altar, she fell without warning at the last step of the Northern Expedition, and fell only a stone's throw away from victory, and this time, she never got up again.

The defeat of the snow field, this is destined to be indelible for the cold kite, and it may even be the biggest "stain", and future generations can't help but sigh every time they talk about it.

However, just like Leng Kite's controversial life, the so-called "defeat in the snowfield" is also full of controversy, and it has always been a matter of endless debate among later historians.

The point of contention is, why did this so-called "defeat and snow field" "fail"?

Later, there was a very frightening "conspiracy theory" among historians, because the direct impact of this defeat was the reduction of half of the Central Garrison Army, these people came from major families, various forces, and all regions, and held a large number of high-level power in the glory of the Republic, and even many of them were the heirs of large families.

As soon as these people died, the central power was highly vacant, the influence of the Central Guard, the families of all parties, and even the Generalissimo of the Republic himself was greatly weakened, and the doves and neutrals also suffered heavy losses, giving the hawks a chance to rise!

In fact, after the weakening of the central power, a large number of hawkish generals took advantage of the weakness to fill the power vacancy brought by the central garrison without bloodshed, and controlled the power that was once blocked.

Therefore, it is difficult not to make people think, the so-called "defeat and snow field", could it be a move planted by Leng Kite at the beginning of the Northern Expedition? Could the so-called "Rebel Bandits" just be an excuse? Her real purpose is not to defeat the rebels at all, but to find an opportunity to bury the 6,000 Central Guards she brought, bury the henchmen and heirs of these central magnates, and find a chance to "seize power" for the hawks under her command!

This is the very famous "conspiracy theory"!

Of course, there are also historians who refute it, the reason is very simple, if it is to bury the 6,000 people of the Central Guard, why do you want to take the 2,000 Dragonborn Guard?

You know, the Dragonborn Guards are the backbone of the Eagle Banner Army, and they are also the most loyal force, and their total destruction is not a catastrophe for the cold kite? What reason does the cold kite have to do such a thankless task?

Even if it is to cover up the conspiracy and want to make the illusion of "killing a thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred" to cover up people's eyes, Leng Kite can send another force as a "burial object", instead of letting the Dragonborn Guard and the Central Garrison accompany the burial, which is too costly!

Therefore, in this way, there is a second point of view, and it is also the most reasonable point of view, that is, the so-called "defeat of the snowfield" is really defeated.

This school of scholars believes that no one is perfect, victory and defeat are impermanent, how can there be a victorious general in the world? When Rong Ma's lifelong generals still fled, why couldn't the eagle general look north in a hurry?

From this point of view, historians believe that Leng Kite was arrogant, carried away by the previous series of victories, blindly arrogant, and insisted on sending troops deep into Siberia, where "the terrain is unknown, the situation is unknown, and the enemy is unknown", and finally suffered a blow to the head.

There are many people who recognize this "true defeat theory", because it is more in line with human nature, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and there is no basis for victory or defeat in the world? Leng Kite's character is destined for her to have a defeat sooner or later, and this defeat happened to be defeated in the Northern Expedition, and she was defeated in the last step of victory.

And it is said that each other is born from the heart, and the same is true of the article, the general of the republic, Leng Luan, is a heroine, so her suicide note is full of hearts for the world and is not afraid of death.

So how can a person who can write "Rebel and Bandits" be a villain who is bent on seeking power and does not hesitate to kill his subordinates?

Although this view is logically more reliable and more in line with Leng Kite's character, it is actually suspicious.

That's why there is no "Eagle Banner General" in the pursuing team?

Let's not talk about why Leng Kite herself didn't participate in the pursuit, among the strong men of the Eagle Banner Army under her command, the white wolf did not participate in the pursuit, Luo Hanlin did not participate in the pursuit, Miyin Pear Sako did not provide long-range support, Lucky was not sent to survey with the army, and all four henchmen stayed in the rear with her.

This move is too suspicious! As we all know, the white wolf and the white wolf are bound to charge into battle every time there is a war, if Leng Kite is really bent on winning, why not send Luo Hanlin and the white wolf to lead an army and participate in the "pincer offensive"?

In this way, even if they are ambushed, with these two fierce generals pressing the formation, they will never end up with the total annihilation.

Unless Leng Kite had already predicted that the pincer attack would inevitably fail, and it was too risky to send his henchmen to the front line, so he kept them, but if he had already foreseen the failure, why did he insist on attacking? Isn't that a contradiction?

Therefore, this suspicion is difficult to explain for scholars who oppose "conspiracy theories" and advocate "true defeat theories".

Therefore, the defeat of the snow field has also become an unsolved case, a mystery case for the ages, which has caused endless controversy in later generations.

For those who study the cold kite, if they support the "conspiracy theory", they will generally regard this eagle general as a "hero", a ruthless, scheming, and self-defeating hero, with wolf ambitions inside and iron-fisted scheming outside.

If you support the "true defeat theory", you will often regard Leng Kite as a "hero", a hero who has chivalrous righteousness, cares about the world, seals the wolf in the northern country, vows to drive the enemy with Jin Ge, and writes "Rebel Bandits" with blood.

However, no matter what, whether it is a conspiracy theory, a true defeat theory, a hero, or a hero, Leng Kite has never explained this in his life, or even at the last moment of his life, not a word, or even a word.

Therefore, no one knows what the truth is, which also leaves many opportunities for later intellectuals to reverie and even criticize and smear, especially after Leng Kite's death, this situation is the most serious.

However, there is a saying: "The scholar talks lightly about the people in the tomb, and the scholar in the tomb laughs and gets angry!" ”

Time passes, merits and demerits, and everything has its own posterity.
