Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Cold Winter of the Prairie Is Coming

Guo Xing was completely intoxicated with his own artistic conception, [Zhenyue Sword] was a sword slash at Zheerbuto, it was definitely Guo Xing's pinnacle sword, there was no one, with Guo Xing's determination to seek the Tao, he went straight to Zheerbuto.

If you can't stop it, you have to block it, the next moment Guo Xing appeared behind Zheerbuto, and Zheerbuto behind him, the treasure knife in his hand snapped in half, a red line appeared on his neck, and the snow slowly flowed out. His eyes slowly blurred, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Guo Xing also felt that his legs were weak, and the soldiers next to him hurriedly came over to support him, and exhausted all his spirit in one move, without Guo Xing dragging Zheerbuto, the loss of the troops would definitely be great, and the lethality of a martial artist was not something that dozens of soldiers could resist, Guo Xing was helped on the horse, the troops were pulled out, and disappeared into the night.

Not to mention Guo Xing's situation, a major event happened in the Great Jin, the prince was assassinated when he returned home at night, although the assassin of the grassland was killed, but the prince was seriously injured is an indisputable fact, the assassin's weapon is still poisonous, the secret guard to protect the prince is all killed, the two ministers who stayed in Beijing immediately closed the nine gates, and imposed a curfew.

This can be regarded as a hornet's nest, the future emperor of a country was assassinated, from here you can make a conclusion, the Great Jin and the prairie are definitely in a state of undying, after the news reached the Han Pass, the emperor was furious.

Several major wars broke out in the Han Pass one after another, and the emperor issued an edict to inform the world that there would never be peace between the Great Jin Dynasty and the barbarians of the prairie, in addition to the four continents of Ezhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, and Ganzhou, which had already transferred troops, and transferred a total of 300,000 troops and horses from Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Shuzhou, Jinzhou, Jiangzhou, Guizhou, and Minzhou to the Han Pass, and the grassland was endless.

The population of the Central Plains has always been an advantage that foreign races do not have, and the grassland is also very afraid of this, knowing that this time it is hurting the sore spot of the Great Jin, but there is no way, the grassland is no soldiers to send, and the opposite Great Jin has 400,000 people in addition to the original 400,000 people, plus the 300,000 people who will come in the future, the total number of soldiers and horses will get 700,000 people, how to fight, even 700,000 pigs let you kill you will have to tire you to death.

Emperor Guo Wei was short-tempered during this time, and fought two tough battles with the grassland, which also made the arrogance of the grassland departments go down a lot, and he was very happy when he first received the information that the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty was assassinated, but now he is not happy, but regrets, especially after receiving the information, the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty has just issued a holy decree to increase the army by 300,000 again, and the light consumption has to consume the grassland people.

Emperor Guo Wei is now the injury of the prince of Xinyoujing, and asked to send someone to report the prince's injury every day, and even the advice of Guo Jun and his ministers did not work, and he successively sent two decisive battle letters to the grassland, but there was no response.

The sneak attacks of the Great Jin began to be frequent, although the losses caused were not large, but they could not hold back much, people died every day because of the sneak attacks, and the grassland side was also discussing what to do, and they all knew that when the second batch of reinforcements from the Great Jin arrived, a larger battle would be launched.

There are now two opinions within the army of the prairie, one is to have a decisive battle with the Great Jin, and the other is to temporarily withdraw the army, but it is very unwilling to go back like this, and then there is a matter of the destruction of the tribe on the grassland, and Guo Xing has destroyed a medium-sized tribe after fleeing from Yinshan.

The news of the extermination came in a panic, the leaders of these tribes were afraid that the next one to be destroyed was their own tribe, the tribe was their own foundation, and without the tribe, they would be left with the fate of being swallowed up, so this part of the people was strongly demanding to withdraw the army, and the contradictions between the two sides were getting deeper and deeper, and Aki Lang was also about to make a decision.

After thinking about it again, Akiro decided that he had to fight with Da Jin, otherwise his face would be really ugly. The Great Jin side was given a war letter, and three days later, the decisive battle, after receiving the war letter, Emperor Guo Wei approved it on the spot and began to prepare for the decisive battle.

In June of the 30th year of Longshuo, this decisive battle for both sides wanted to achieve an overwhelming victory, but at the same time deeply knew that it was difficult, the decisive battle of the day, from the morning until dark was the end, the two sides invested a total of 500,000 troops, divided into several venues to fight, both defeats are the best description, both sides have suffered heavy losses, the losses of both sides are not less than 100,000 horses, the wounded are countless, but the Great Jin is not afraid, the follow-up reinforcements are still on the way.

The situation in the camp of the barbarians is very bleak, I didn't expect the determination of the Great Jin Dynasty to be so great, regardless of success or failure, the main thing is to kill and injure, the face of Aqilang in the big tent is gloomy and terrible, and he said, "Let's talk about it, what to do now, the loss of more than 100,000 horses, the wounded are not counted, what should I do next."

The leaders of the various groups in the tent stopped talking, and lowered their heads one by one, knowing that the Great Khan was angry now, and there was no reason to look for bad luck, seeing that everyone was silent, Aqilang's face became even more gloomy, and the right sage king Hutt spoke, "Great Khan, now it seems that our hope of victory is very small, and we should consider the issue of withdrawing troops, and if we continue to consume it, it will only be a waste of food."

After the words of the right virtuous king Hutt were finished, there was a lot of gossip in the big tent, which basically meant agreeing to withdraw from the army, but he couldn't withdraw the army in vain, he should let the Great Jin give some compensation, Aqilang's heart was talking, why are there some fools around him, and he still wants to compensate, if you can withdraw safely, it would be good, the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty was assassinated, and he would compensate you, idiot.

Aqilang said directly, "King Youxian stays, Patriarch Tuhamin, Patriarch Herkoqi, Patriarch Muhdi, Patriarch Musa, Patriarch Kututong, Patriarch Surile stay, and the others go back" The Great Khan spoke, and the remaining little patriarchs saluted the Great Khan and retreated.

There are no outsiders, Aqilang said, "This time because of the assassination of the crown prince of the Great Jin, the determination of the Great Jin to fight with us to the end is very great, and it is not good for us to drag on the war, don't forget, we don't have enough food reserves in the winter and will starve to death, so I agree with the opinion of King Youxian, you can consider retreating, but how to retreat, let's talk about it."

Tuhamin is a staunch supporter of Aqilang and a large clan in his own right, he said. Great Khan, to tell the truth, since the assassination of the crown prince of the Great Jin, our road to peace talks with the Great Jin has been sealed, we and the Great Jin can be said to be an endless situation, this situation will not change in the modern Jin Dynasty and the next generation of emperors, our advantage lies in the cavalry, the Great Jin lies in the advantage of armor, it can be said that before the arrival of the reinforcements of the Great Jin, we want to retreat or relatively free, but once the reinforcements of the Great Jin arrive, it is estimated that they will be entangled with us step by step, it will be difficult, the winter has little impact on the Great Jin, but the impact on us is too great, don't forget that there is still a cavalry team of the Great Jin on the grassland, There are many tribes that have been wiped out by this cavalry, and the impact is relatively large, I think we should slowly withdraw our troops now, even if the Jin army chases us, we are not afraid."

What Tuhamin said was the truth, and everyone agreed with it, and the Musa patriarch took over the words, "Great Khan, in order to let those fools know the facts, they can propose to negotiate peace with the Great Jin, I am sure that the Great Jin will never make peace, and the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty does not know whether he is alive or dead now, and the emperor of the Great Jin will definitely not agree, and will only continue the war."

"Yes, what the Musa patriarch said was right" Everyone unanimously agreed, and after a while of deliberation, everyone made a decision, and the deliberations were over, and everyone withdrew.

Patriarch Herkozy did not leave, but stayed, Patriarch Herkozy is Akilang's father-in-law, an old fox, Archie Lang saw that he didn't leave, he knew that his father-in-law had something to say to him, so he said, "Patriarch Herkozi, is there anything else".

The patriarch of Herkozy saluted to Aqilang and said, "Great Khan, now you have to think not only about the present, but also about the future, I am very worried about the future of the steppe," Herkozy was worried.

Aki Lang knew that this father-in-law's vision was very poisonous, and he looked at the problem in a more in-depth and long-term way, so there must be a reason for saying this, and said directly, "Father-in-law, have you found anything?"

Patriarch Herkozy paused, organized his language, and said, "Great Khan, if the crown prince of the Great Jin dies, who do you think can succeed the Great Jin as the crown prince?"

The intelligence of the Great Jin Dynasty has also been mastered a lot, are traitors, there are in any era, Aqilang thought about it and said, "Among the princes of the Great Jin, it is estimated that it is the metropolitan governor Guo Jun stationed in Yunzhou, the third prince Zhi is no longer on the throne, although the four five, six, seven, eighty and ninety princes have the heart of the emperor, but they are ambitious and talented, it is estimated that the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty will not consider it, and the rest of the princes are a waste, the seventeenth prince Prince Wu......" said here Aqilang was surprised, as if he thought of something, and his face was ...... with horror.

Patriarch Herkozi nodded and said, Not surprisingly, if the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty died, the successor will be the second prince and the seventeenth prince, the second prince Guo Jun has been stationed in Yunzhou for many years to fight with us, and the martial arts of the seventeenth prince have been seen by everyone a few days ago, but what everyone has not noticed is the strategy of the ten princes, Zheerbuto's martial arts everyone knows that it is a martial artist cultivation, but he still died in the hands of Prince Wu, not to mention that Prince Wu Guo Xing led troops to fight in our grassland, while avoiding our encirclement and interception, while also killing our people, there is no certain strategy can not be done, not to mention that our intelligence shows that although Prince Wu Guo Xing is young, he is very recognized by the military in Dajin, If he returns to the Great Jin Dynasty in time, he will immediately be recognized by the Great Jin military, with the attitude of this Prince Wu towards our prairie, once he succeeds to the throne, then the cold winter of our prairie will come.........."
