Chapter 405: Timing! Qingjun side!
After a tragic (one-sided) battle, you can see the mountains of Wolf Juxu with frost and huge ice blocks everywhere.
"Sealing the wolf Juxu and strangling the stone is really a great martial art that people yearn for......"
At the top of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, Estes stroked his hair and couldn't help but let out his own sigh.
But when Estes sighed, the pieces of Hun corpses frozen by frost on the entire Wolf Juxu Mountain gave a rather terrifying background. And beside Estes, inside a huge block of ice, Shan Yufuro in the Hun royal court was frozen in ice, his eyes wide open and the appearance of wielding a golden scimitar was fixed.
"General, most of the Huns have been annihilated, and the remnants of the fleeing are less than 20,000 people, and now Bai Ma Yicong is chasing and killing them, and it is estimated that they will not be able to escape!"
"That's right! Those Huns ran very fast, but unfortunately they turned into rabbits, and they couldn't run far in front of Baima Yicong!"
"This battle is a great one! It's a pity that the Huns are really not good!" ……
When Estes sighed, Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun and others flew to his side one after another, and then began to report on the relevant situation of this battle.
To put it simply, the Huns, who had already declined to a low point, were completely finished this time, and the 200,000 troops that had been put together with all their strength were in front of Wolf Juxu Mountain, trying to kill the Han army commander with decapitation tactics After turning the tables, they were directly defeated by Esdes head-on with three top powerhouses, and then the whole army collapsed directly under heavy casualties.
It's a pity that even if the Huns made certain preparations for defeat in advance and chose to scatter and flee after the disastrous defeat of the leader, it was difficult to even escape in the face of high-speed cavalry such as Baima Yicong!
"Very good, General Gongsun, you and Liu Tingshi should send a message to those who are waiting!"
Listening to the words of his subordinates, Estes said a little lazily after turning the biological armor back into a military uniform.
"Understood, I'll arrange it!"
"General, you're ready!" ……
Regarding Estes's words, Gongsun Chan and another general named under Liu Yu also smiled and replied very seriously.
Well, as the family camp that is forced to a dead end and the royal family who want to turn the tables, although it is not enough to collude with the Huns, which looks beautiful but is actually very stupid (in fact, because the family and the royal family are not very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Huns), it is not that they have not chosen to find candidates who can be won over in the Northern Army, and Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu are the most suitable natural candidates for both camps.
Moreover, the family and the royal family did not think that Gongsun Zhan and Liu Yu could lead the Northern Expeditionary Army to fight back, but only asked the two who held important positions in the Northern Expeditionary Army to delay the return of Li Yuan's henchmen and elite troops in the Northern Expeditionary Army......
………………
An hour later, it was located in the Taishou Mansion in Nanyang County.
"Uncle, are you really going to launch?"
Listening to the image in his hand that was revealed by the magic weapon that specialized in communication, Yuan Shu, who had just gotten up from the bed and was a little disheveled, showed a trace of excitement and nervousness, and couldn't help but whisper to Yuan Kui in the image again.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Shu, as the internal heir of the Yuan family, was quite obedient to the words of Yuan Kui, the current head of the Yuan family, in the past, but now this kind of questioning emotion is almost impossible to happen to Yuan Shu to treat the elders of his family, but it is happening now!
"Highway, the urgent report in the Northern Army, has just defeated most of the main forces of the Huns, and now is the time to win, if you don't take advantage of the current launch, at most ten days later, the Northern Army can clean up the endgame......"
Listening to Yuan Shu's question, it was rare for Yuan Kui not to blame, and there was a trace of disbelief and helplessness in his words.
In just one month, the Huns knelt down?!
This result was not only the first time Yuan Shu heard it, but even Yuan Kui felt like a dream after receiving the message sent by Gongsun Chan himself.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a large army out of the fortress three times to conquer the Xiongnu, but it took nearly 40 years to defeat the Xiongnu. Even if two of them have been recuperating for more than ten years, the time for the three major armies to fight has not been less than a year!
According to the estimation of Yuan Kui and other families, even if the Xiongnu are in decline now, how can they entangle the Northern Expeditionary Army under Li Yuan for a year and a half, right? With this period of buffer, enough local families to train a sufficient number of private soldiers, and then take advantage of the fact that the Northern Army was exhausted from fighting on the grassland for many years, and even if it won the victory, it was temporarily unable to reorganize the troops, and directly attacked Li Yuan when he was the weakest, and then won the final victory in one fell swoop......
However, the current situation is far beyond the bottom line that Yuan Kui and others think is the most terrifying.
Nima's!
It's only been less than two months, and the Huns have hit the streets?!
Even if everyone knows that the current Xiongnu are not as strong as the overlord who dominated the grassland, and the rise of nomadic tribes such as Xianbei and Wuheng is enough to prove that the Xiongnu have begun to gradually decline. But...... But it's not a problem to support it for a few months, right? Give us enough time to consume the elite combat power under Li Yuan's command.
How can you just hit the streets?!
If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan personally delivering the message, Yuan Kui really didn't believe in this fact, but seeing that Gongsun Zhan deliberately showed the situation of Wolf Juxu Mountain and Xiongnu Shan Yu Da Tent and Wang Ting, and also deliberately took a look at the battlefield that can be called full of corpses, Yuan Kui couldn't believe it or not.
"But...... Uncle, the total number of soldiers and horses in my hands now is more than 20,000, of which except for 6,000 are the troops of our family that can be trusted, and the rest are county soldiers and newly recruited soldiers!"
After hearing Yuan Kui's words, Yuan Shu's face changed and he said with some hesitation.
Although it is said that Yuan Shu's situation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not very good, as the chosen successor of the Yuan family, the relevant judgment ability and vision are at least above the level of the Chinese people.
Even with Yuan Shu's own vision and judgment, he can see that the time to do it is really not good. In less than two months, in addition to some armies and private soldiers under their control, the newly recruited soldiers can only be described as a rabble.
"I don't know that now is not the best time to do it!"
For Yuan Shu's words, Yuan Kui showed a wry smile on his face, and explained to his optimistic heir with some helplessness and sigh: "However, now that the Xiongnu have completely defeated the Northern Army, the news from Gongsun Boqi is that at most it is recommended that the main force of the Northern Army disperse to pursue the Xiongnu, but it will not take more than a month!"
In other words, if you wait any longer, it will be two months at most...... No, at most, in half a month, there will be news of the great victory of the Northern Army to defeat the Xiongnu in Luoyang! At that time, Li Zisheng was already in the general trend, and if our family didn't want to let it go, we had to do it now!!"
“…… I see! Uncle!"
Hearing Yuan Kui's increasingly harsh words, Yuan Shu did not refute it, and expressed his approval in a low voice.
After all, even if Yuan Shu is not as good as those wise people, he also understands that he who was born in the Yuan family is on the side of the family, and now Li Yuan wants to move the world's family, even if it is not the right time, he can only harden it.
After saying a few words to Yuan Kui, seeing that his uncle had turned off the communication, Yuan Shu, who had a respectful expression, took back the contact weapon into his arms, and after a long silence, he turned his head and ordered to the cronies and attendants outside the bedroom: "Come on, pass me Ji Ling and Li Feng...... Oh, and the Nanhua Immortal Elder is also invited to come over!"
"No!"
……
At the same time, the Taiwei Mansion in Luoyang.
"You've already won a big victory?! Incredible! It's incredible......"
In the study of the Taiwei Mansion, Ding Yuan, who had not been promoted to the position of Taiwei for too long, looked at the information sent by Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, with a complicated look on his face.
As the history of the former merger of the state, Ding Yuan is clear about the disasters and hazards of those nomads on the grassland, if it were not for the merger of Lu Bu, who was called "killing God" by the Huns, maybe the Huns and other nomadic tribes would not be much inferior to the border troubles in Youzhou and Liangzhou.
When Ding Yuan took office and merged with the state assassin history, the situation in the state was already tending to be stable, and Ding Yuan used both soft and hard means to transfer Lu Bu from the front line on the battlefield, and then he could be regarded as controlling the state army that could be called the Lu family army at that time, and then before Ding Yuan spent more time to establish his prestige, he took the state army Qin Wang with him during the Luoyang Rebellion, and now in just a few months, earth-shaking changes have taken place!
However, now that Lu Bu, who was tried to be suppressed by Ding Yuan, has died, and the Bingzhou army has also been annexed by Li Yuan and even re-sent to the grassland to fight against the Xiongnu and win, while Ding Yuan himself wants to attack Li Yuan, who broke the Xiongnu, behind his back?
"We are for the Han family...... I hope those families can play a sufficient role in the containment!"
After reading the information that broke the Huns for a while, Ding Yuan put down the information in his hand with a tired face, and comforted himself in his heart with a complicated face.
To be honest, Ding Yuan didn't really want to do this!
After all, strictly speaking, although Li Yuan's behavior in Ding Yuan's eyes was abnormal, it was a righteous name to fight against the Huns, and it was a kind of sinister villain to choose to do it to Li Yuan at this time.
However, Ding Yuan also understood that if Li Yuan really broke the Huns, and re-proposed the military merit Tianjue system and several other systems with the power of great victory, then the martial artists in the world would regard Li Yuan as a role model for the world's martial artists and be in awe, then it would really be a powerful army with one hand and a reputation in the other, and no one was sure whether he would become Wang Mang's second.
Besides, in Empress Dowager He's plan, what Ding Yuan asked Ding Yuan to do was not to send troops directly, but to push those people from the family to the front to fight with Li Yuan, Ding Yuan was just contacting the ministers and generals of the loyal Han family, trying to wait for the opportunity!
Because, among Luoyang City and Si Li, there are still more than 100,000 loyal troops under Li Yuan, even if the strength of other Luoyang and Han families is combined, it is impossible for Li Yuan to be Li Yuan's opponent. And what Empress Dowager He wants is not to hit a stone with an egg, but to wait for a suitable opportunity to do it......
………………
In September 189, on the third day of the decisive victory of the Northern Army at Wolf Juxu Mountain, a letter of the family's joint crusade against Li Yuan had spread all over the country.
"We spread the word to the world with great righteousness: Li Yuan, the general of the chariot cavalry, entered Luoyang, deceived the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and killed Dong Zhuo, the assassin of Liangzhou, Bo Lubu, the commander of the Bingzhou army, and others for no reason, and the garrison rampant in Luoyang and Sili, mutilating living beings, wolves and unkindness, and killing without counting!
Today, we are willing to clear the king's side, gather volunteers to kill the chariot and cavalry general Li Yuan, support the Han family, and save the Li people!"
This inscription, which has spread all over the country, is certainly not the edict forged by Cao Cao, the Taishou of Yingchuan County, but on the contrary, it is an excuse that is reluctantly pulled out by the joint efforts of the world's families.
No way! Li Yuan is not Dong Feifei's stupid X who brought foreign troops into Luoyang and became a scourge, except for the secret matter of "talking" with the Empress Dowager He at night in the palace where few people know (even Ding Yuan doesn't know), the actions of the Youzhou Army in Luoyang and Si Li can be described as strict military discipline, in addition to killing those families and local heroes, it can be said that it is a generous and strong army with quite good military discipline.
In this case, the lower limit of discipline is actually not shallow, the families have no time to make up and rumor, on the other hand, they really need an excuse to attack Li Yuan, so the charges of "flying and domineering", "indiscriminately killing ministers", "blinding the Queen Mother and His Majesty" and other crimes were directly baked, and then the banner of "Qingjun side" was pulled up - it's not that the families don't want to use the edict, the problem is that the Empress Dowager He and Ding Yuan refused to give this handle to kill people, and the families didn't use the edict after thinking about it. Instead, he directly used the excuse of Shangqing Jun's side!
For a while, the excuses preached by the families made most people in the world feel a little confused, I don't know how Li Yuan, the chariot general who previously carried out the imperial examination and presided over the northern expedition against the Huns, suddenly became a tyrannical and powerful minister who controlled the court? This change is a little too fast......
Compared with those neutrals in confusion and suspicion, the families also understand that the excuse of "Qingjun's side" does not stand up to scrutiny, but now the families do not have much to do, and if they do not act before the news of the defeat of the Xiongnu by the northern army, they have no hope of victory at all. And now that the Northern Expeditionary Army has just inflicted heavy losses on the Huns, and is pursuing the Huns on the grassland, when Li Yuan's troops are not around, they have a certain certainty of victory!
Under Li Yuan's step-by-step pressure and the terrifying prospect of being directly killed, most of the families finally reached a unified position. Moreover, the families led by the Yuan family, this time they acted under the prospect of fear and lack of preparation, and truly showed the strong foundation that would take at least a hundred years to be called a family...... (To be continued.) )
