Chapter 490: Retreat (2)
Xie Xun watched the man slowly raise his head, revealing a face as delicate as a hibiscus flower, and immediately scolded, "What the hell are you doing here?" Sent to death? ”
This person should have traveled in the south of the Yangtze River and spent a leisurely life. If you are bored, invite one or two friends to go outing; I was depressed, holding the wine, and drinking to the moon until dawn.
"Yes, I'm here to die with you." Yu Miao raised her chin and looked resolute.
She wasn't here to accompany her to die. She just missed him too much, and wanted to come to the battlefield to see him and see him build immortal feats with her own eyes. She had actually entered Nine Springs City a long time ago and had been hiding in the inn. Every day, she would sit by the window and wait for him to ride through the street.
On the day of the defeat, she saw him covered in blood and his face full of sorrow, and she almost couldn't resist running to see him, but her impulse was finally suppressed by reason.
He is already married, and she doesn't want to be a concubine, so not seeing them is the best ending.
The Snowpiercers are about to attack the city!
Tonight may be the last chance for them to meet and talk, seeing him coming on horseback, Yu Miao couldn't help it anymore, and rushed out of the inn and stopped in front of him.
"Life can't marry you, and it doesn't seem bad to die with you." Yu Miao smiled, without the slightest fear of death on her face.
"Nonsense!" Xie Xun wanted to dismount and reprimanded fiercely, but the eunuch who came to summon him on the emperor's order urged loudly, "Marshal Xie, it's been the third watch, and the emperor is still waiting." ”
Xie Xun didn't want people to know Yu Miao's identity, so he told Yu Miao in a deep voice, "Don't move, just wait in this inn." I'll come to you in a moment. ”
Yu Miao nodded, with a smile in her eyebrows, "Don't worry." Tonight, I'm not going anywhere, I'm waiting for you here. Wait for as many nights as possible. ”
Xie Xun's head was stirred by Yu Miao, who suddenly appeared, and when he saw the Dog Emperor, he didn't have a good face.
"Can you be sure of tomorrow's siege?" The emperor asked.
"Nope."
The emperor gasped and almost scolded, "If the city is broken, what will the people do?" ”
"The emperor wants to ask, what should you do yourself?" Xie Xun sneered mockingly.
The Emperor blushed. He really didn't plan to live and die with this city.
He didn't want to die yet, let alone be a prisoner. If the Snowpiercers catch him, they may not kill him, but they will humiliate him, and life is better than death.
"I've thought it through, Nine Springs City needs reinforcements to hold it. The 250,000 troops of Zhangye and Huguan must be utilized. There are only 80,000 people in Huguan, and there are not many troops, if I can bring 50,000 horses to knock on the pass, and then canonize the fourth prince as the prince to lure him, I may be able to persuade the fourth to surrender. With 80,000 people in the hands of the fourth child, I will have 130,000 people, and then I will go to Zhangye...... Or conversely, supporting Jiuquan can also turn the crisis around at the moment. ”
The emperor's voice became smaller and smaller, and his momentum became weaker and weaker, because Xie Xun's expression became more and more vicious, and even exuded a murderous aura.
Tomorrow the enemy army will attack the city in a big way, but the emperor wants to escape from the city with most of the men and horses overnight!
What kind of son of heaven guards the country, it's all fucking bullshit!
The emperor shrunk his neck in fright by Xie Xun's momentum, "If 50,000 people are in difficulty, 30,000 can do it." ”
Now the army obeys Xie Xun's orders, and without Xie Xun's consent, even if he is the emperor, he can't mobilize a single soldier.
That tragic defeat made him completely lose his military morale!
This is another important reason why the emperor does not want to stay. He thinks it's not worth dying with these people who don't know how to be loyal to the king!
He wants to leave, revive the army, clean up the old rivers and mountains, and let the people of the world and the youth forget this shameful history for the people of the Snow Country.
Xie Xun used a lot of strength to suppress the crazy thoughts in his head, and finally smiled coldly, "If the emperor wants to leave, let's go." I can also give 30,000 soldiers to the emperor, but the emperor must promise three things. 1. Seal me as the Marquis of the Northwest and the history of Ganzhou, and take charge of the military and political affairs of Ganzhou. ”
"No problem! Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements, these are all things that Aiqing deserves. The Emperor agreed and flew quickly.
"20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, of whom 20,000 are wounded."
The emperor hesitated, in this way, wouldn't there be only 10,000 soldiers to fight?
"The remaining 10,000 soldiers, I won't fool around, they are all the elite of the Shu army."
It is impossible for Xie Jiajun to follow the Dog Emperor, so he can only choose from the Shu army.
"Yes!"
"Third, the people of Jiuquan who are willing to evacuate must be brought with them."
If only the people go to Huguan, they will be shot by the defenders of the city, and with the dog emperor with him, he may be able to have some life.
If you have a chance to live, you have to try.
"Yes!" The Emperor just wanted to leave the dangerous Nine Springs City as soon as possible.
Since it had been decided to let the Dog Emperor leave, Xie Xun did not delay, and immediately asked people to go to Tian Qing and gather the soldiers.
After all, there is life in the retreat, and he needs to ask the soldiers of the Shu army. There are only 10,000 places, and if you don't do it well, it will cause chaos.
When Tian Qing heard that the emperor was going to evacuate Jiuquan City and take away 30,000 soldiers, he shook his head again and again, "No, how can this work!" 100,000 people may not be able to defend it, take away 30,000, how can the city be defended? Does the emperor have a brain? ”
Tian Qing couldn't wait to rush to the emperor, pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding the faint monarch! Idiot!
The emperor knew that Tian Qing was short-tempered, so he only summoned Xie Xun to discuss the evacuation.
Xie Xun also wanted to burst into foul language, but he opened his mouth but persuaded bitterly, "Taking away 30,000 people, although it will make Jiuquan City tense, if you can persuade Zhongyong Hou to surrender, it will be a good life." ”
Xie Xun agreed to let the Dog Emperor go, which was also well thought out. Compared with the crown prince, the four princes are neither justifiable nor have an advantage in military strength, and the emperor will go this time and lure him with the position of the crown prince, which may really be successful.
The 80,000 people under the command of the Marquis of Zhongyong are also brave divisions, and the key is that after the Huguan Pass is opened, it will continue to recruit troops from the Guannai to support Jiuquan.
Although Jiuwan went to the Western Regions, whether it could be made or not, he said that he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
Tian Qing felt a little reasonable, "Okay, Lao Tzu, I'll go and order someone." ”
As a result, less than 3,000 of the 50,000 Shu troops took the initiative to stand up because there were still old people and children at home.
Tian Qing looked proud, "Damn, the people I came from Shu are all heroes." Otherwise, pick some people from the Xie family's army? ”
Xie Xun really sent someone to ask, but the result was the same as Xie Xun expected, no one from the Xie family was willing to go with the emperor.
The Xie family army who survived that tragic decisive battle, each of them had a strong hatred for the royal family, and would rather die on the battlefield than follow the emperor who killed so many of their brothers to fight a grueling battle.
Besides, Xie Jiajun has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, even if he really follows the emperor to get things done, I'm afraid he won't be able to do well. This is also the reason why Xie Xun did not consider Xie Jiajun from the beginning.
Although Tian Qing has a straight temperament, he has also heard the staff talk about the contradictions between the Xie family, the Xie family army and the emperor, and sighed faintly, "This official is really fucking difficult." When these soldiers are brought back to Shu alive, Lao Tzu immediately resigned and quit! ”
"This time, the emperor asked the Hou Ye to lead the troops."
This is the only request of the Dog Emperor.
Tian Qing immediately fried his hair, "Lao Tzu is not going!" Lao Tzu's soldiers are all here, let Lao Tzu escape? Do you want Lao Tzu to be poked and scolded by the people of Shudi? Don't go, don't go! ”
Xie Xun could only continue to persuade, "Although there is the position of the prince as bait, after all, I don't know the situation in the Huguan." In case of a war, there are 30,000 soldiers, including 20,000 wounded soldiers, and there is no more powerful commander, but I am afraid that as soon as the troops are exchanged, they will be defeated. The 30,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people were harmed in vain. ”
He didn't want Tian Qing to leave, and the rest of the Shu army, with Tian Qing, was stable, and he was more worry-free when it started a war. But the Dog Emperor brought tens of thousands of people in Jiuquan City, and he had to think about it.
Tian Qing was hoarse, and his face only flushed, showing how aggrieved he was.
"Master Hou, the lives of those 30,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people will all be in your hands. Take care! Xie Xun shook solemnly.
"Ge Laozi, you stinky boy knows that it is difficult for Lao Tzu. When the battle is over, Lao Tzu will tell you old man to clean you up and bully the old man's bastard! ”
Tian Qing said fiercely, but his eyes were slightly wet......
