Chapter 63: Defeat
When everyone heard this, they all pondered. The lords of the country, such as Ji Wu and Ji Wei, all thought so.
The overthrow of the cold country is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and as the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first. An army cannot march and fight without the support of gold and silver. The Han country occupies the Central Plains, the land is vast, and the wealth is extremely rich, so it naturally takes advantage of it. But if you can take the opportunity to rob the treasures of the cold country, you will definitely be able to greatly increase your chances of victory!
Bo Mi nodded slightly, and suddenly saw that Ji Gengjin was absent-minded, and asked, "Gengjin, do you have a good plan?"
Ji Gengjin smiled: "I think what King Dantong said is very good, but there is one thing that he said wrong. ”
Ji Wuyi was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Oh? The second marquis is talking about what is wrong with this king, listen to it!"
Ji Gengjin said: "The eldest brother is going here with 30,000 elites, and the morale is like a rainbow, and there is only one of the four generals near the Emperor Hill of the Han Kingdom, and it should not be difficult to take the Emperor Hill." However, after this capture, it must be defended. In case we have searched for gold and silver treasures, we will leave immediately. Who knew that we had taken the initiative to withdraw from the army? At that time, the Han Kingdom would have claimed to the outside world that they had repelled us. In this way, it is rumored in the Great Wilderness that we have only defeated the scattered armies of the Cold Country, and as soon as we encounter the main force of the other side, we will immediately flee. If this continues, not only will the prestige of Great Xia fall, but the rest of the tribes will be even more afraid of the power of the Han Country, and those who belong will be attached, and those who are afraid will be afraid, and I am afraid that no one will support us in the future. ”
Ji Wuyun said coldly: "Haven't you thought about it yet? With the 30,000 troops of the Great Marquis, how can we hold the Emperor Hill? Once the four generals of the Wind Forest Volcano of the Cold Country arrive together, and Yu Hanxun and the others return to the Emperor Hill, I am afraid that we will become turtles in the urn." ”
Ji Gengjin put away his smile, and suddenly said, "Therefore, we must lead the remaining army to stop the army of the Han Kingdom." They can't get back in time. In addition, an envoy had to be sent to Beidi to ask Beidi to send troops for support. When the reinforcements arrive, we will introduce the army of the Han Kingdom into Diqiu, so as to wait for work and catch them off guard. ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked, and they only felt that this plan was promising.
Ji Wuyun was silent for a long time, and said: "The second marquis is too whimsical. According to the report from the spies, this time there are nearly 100,000 troops around Shanglin Yuan, and we only have 20,000 people, how can we stop them?"
Tianqi Wang Qiwu suddenly said: "Moreover, has the second marquis forgotten the last time he went to Beidi with the eldest marquis, but was rejected by the young priest of the Holy Maiden of Beidi? Let them send reinforcements, I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”
Ji Gengjin said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Beidi Holy Maiden Young Si Ming has already left, her whereabouts are strange, she is not an ordinary person." Beidi is now in charge of the king of Beidi, and his son Beidi is a friend of life and death. ”
The lords of the country discussed a lot, and then Xia Geng, Zhu Hui and other generals also expressed their opinions, and the whole camp was noisy.
Bo Mi listened to it for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Everyone don't be impatient...... After everyone stopped, he turned to Feng Yi and said, "Young master, what do you think should be?"
The lords of all countries were disdainful in their hearts, secretly thinking that although Feng Yi was the young lord of Great Xia, he was very young and had almost no experience in marching and fighting, so how could he make a decision at such a critical juncture? Moreover, as his young master, once a decision was made, everyone would not listen to him. Only Xia Geng, Zhu Hui and other generals who had fought side by side with Feng Yi knew that although His Royal Highness the Young Lord was young, he was very assertive, and he had been dealing with the Han Kingdom for many days and knew a lot about the enemy.
Feng Yi faced everyone's gaze, and thought of the 20,000 army outside the camp, thinking that the fate of so many people was in his own hands, and his heart was slightly flustered. But he had a little luck, quickly calmed down, and said loudly: "Although I am a young master, I am far from everyone here in terms of military strategy. ”
When the lords of the kingdom heard this, their faces softened a little, and their hearts were extremely useful.
Feng Yi changed his words and suddenly said, "However, I agree with the opinion of the second marquis. ”
"What?" As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuyi and the others shouted, "Young Master, this matter is not trivial, Young Master must decide carefully." ”
Ji Wu and the others were also about to speak, but they suddenly heard Bo Mi say lightly: "The young master said this, there must be a reason, you don't have to speak in a hurry." ”
Feng Yi smiled: "Let's listen to my analysis, it's not too late for you to make a decision." Although the power of the Cold Country is strong now, no tribe in the Great Wilderness can compete with it. But it is not as invincible as it seems, this time the nature of Han Xun is revealed, killing people like hemp, and imprisoning the nobles of many tribes, the Han country has been greatly disappointed. In my opinion, this is when the Han Nation is at its most vulnerable, as long as we can defeat them head-on and show the other tribes that the Cold Nation is not invincible. That way, more Hordes and Ranger will join us. It is not yet known who will win and who will lose!"
Xia Geng, Zhu Hui and others nodded again and again, they are the generals of the unified army, and they understand the power of people's hearts and minds best.
Ji Gengjin clapped his hands and smiled: "What the young master said is extremely true. And don't forget, the strongest in the Han Country, in addition to their beast cavalry, is the barbarian army of Jiuli. However, the southern Xinjiang is thousands of miles away from the emperor's hill, and the distant water cannot quench the thirst of the near. We only need to deal with the beast cavalry, although these armies are prestigious, they have never fought against our Kunwu Sword Formation, this time we will definitely let them taste our strength!"
The generals were greatly excited when they heard this, and shouted one after another: "Let the traitors of the Han Kingdom know the power of our Kunwu swordsmen!"
Seeing the anger of the people, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Feng Yi and Ji Gengjin looked at each other and nodded, and were about to arrange the next countermeasures, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the camp tent. General Xia Geng was furious and shouted: "Damn, Ben Jiang finally found such a valley, it looks dark from the outside, but from the inside, he can see the outside scene. These bunnies are so noisy, if an enemy spy appears nearby, wouldn't it be all exposed. ”
As soon as he stepped out of the camp, he suddenly saw dozens of swordsmen rushing at the entrance of the valley, covered in blood, and carried a man in the middle with a wooden plank. Before Xia Geng could react, those people had already approached, he just glanced at it, and was immediately shocked, almost falling to the ground.
Feng Yi and the others sat in the tent, suspicious in their hearts. After a while, I saw General Xia Geng rushing in in a panic, his face pale, and he no longer looked proud and confident before.
Bo Mi frowned and said, "Xia Geng, what's going on outside?
Xia Geng was so stumbling that he couldn't speak. On the side, Zhu Hui has been fighting side by side with him for decades, but he has never seen him like this, and he was puzzled, so he said: "Who is outside, come in and talk!"
At this moment, Xia Gengcai said: "Young master, lords, the eldest marquis...... He ......"
Ji Gengjin was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "What's wrong with him, big brother?"
At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent were ordered to come in, and put the plank on the ground, on which lay a man, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he had lost his breath. There was still a trace of horror and grief on his face, who was it if he wasn't the eldest marquis?
Ji Gengjin sat down from his seat, walked over, touched Ji Shisheng's heart, and suddenly the whole person seemed to have lost his strength, slumped on the ground, and whimpered: "Big brother, big brother......"
They sat in the valley, originally expecting to wait for the good news of the Great Marquis, but they did not expect to wait for such an ending! However, the 30,000 Kunwu swordsmen led by the Great Marquis were the elite of the elite, and even if they looked at the Great Wilderness, they were also invincible troops, how could they be defeated so quickly? It was only ten days before and after, which was simply incredible.
Feng Yi's heart shook, and he secretly thought: "Could it be that Yu Hanxun still has an immortal master in the Emperor Valley, and the cultivation of the Great Marquis has reached the realm of Taixian, and there are very few who can beat him into such a great wilderness!" He held back his grief and stepped forward to investigate the wounds of the Great Marquis.
When everyone saw the young master approaching, they all subconsciously avoided it, but only the second marquis's face was like ashes, and he didn't move.
Feng Yi probed the whole body of the eldest marquis, and was surprised to find that there were no fatal injuries, but looking at his face, it was a sign of his soul being scattered, obviously he had been dead for a long time. This killing method is by no means an ordinary person, it seems that he is a strange person in the cold country! Feng Yi was indignant in his heart, and the countermeasures discussed by everyone before were even more flashy, even the eldest marquis led the elite of the Ju clan failed, and the only way to go at this moment was to quickly retreat and return to the Western Regions.
But before that, it is necessary to ask what exactly happened in Diqiu?
Feng Yi slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Where is the soldier who brought back the body of the Great Marquis?"
Someone on the side replied: "Back to the young master, those soldiers are all seriously injured and mentally weak, as if they ...... It seems that he was frightened, and now he has been taken to the back camp to heal. ”
Bo Mi said: "Be sure to appease them." He turned his head and replied to Xia Geng and Zhu: "This matter is not allowed to be publicized, if other generals ask, they will say that the eldest marquis suddenly fell ill and sent back to recuperate, and there is no big problem." ”
When the second general heard this, he hurriedly took the order and left. Feng Yi saw Bo Mi's calm appearance, and his heart was also calm. The morale of this march was like a rainbow, and if the news spread, it would definitely shake the army greatly.
Suddenly, he sneered: "Young Master, Second Marquis, don't you want to stop the army of the Cold Country, and intend to come to wait for work?" The rest of the lords were shocked when they heard this, and everyone was sad and indignant at this moment, and King Dantong's words were really inappropriate. But they thought the same thing in their hearts. The military strength of Great Xia is far from that of the Han Kingdom, and the previous plan to besiege Emperor Qiu has already taken a big advantage, even if it succeeds, it is only a small victory, if you want to defeat the enemy head-on, it is still far away.
Feng Yi was slightly angry in his heart, but the facts were in front of him, but he couldn't refute them. In grief, he couldn't help but hold the cold hand of the eldest marquis.
Suddenly, a small vibration reached his palm, and although the sound was small, it was no less than a thunderclap in his ears at this moment!
