The information on the withdrawal of the Onijun army was indeed a surprise to everyone in Jeju City.

Because it's completely unreasonable.

Although they failed to conquer the vital Jeju City, they also suffered a big loss under the city, and the losses were not small. But in fact, in fact, the Ghost Rong army that invaded Ludi was not a bone breaker.

There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses who entered Ludi this time, and in the end, less than 50,000 of them attacked Jeju, and more than 30,000 people were defeated in the end.

The other soldiers and horses also occupy many cities in the north of Ludi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that half of Ludi has been in their hands, and they can be regarded as having a great harvest.

Then, because they failed to take Jeju in the first battle, coupled with the loss of Zizhou, and the frequent attacks and disturbances during this time, the transportation of grain and grass was not smooth, they chose to retreat, and gave up all the cities they had taken?

Have you ever heard of a bad wolf spitting out the fat that it eats in its mouth?

Everyone was surprised, and some even decided that there was some conspiracy in this, perhaps it was a strategy for the Ghost Rong people to retreat and want to lead everyone to take the initiative to pursue.

But the facts later proved that the so-called conspiracy did not exist, and the Ghost Rong army really retreated, completely, completely.

Although at the same time as withdrawing troops, they slaughtered many people in the city, looted the wealth of states and counties, and even took tens of thousands of people with them - but the fact that they retreated did not change because of this.

The result of this continuous transmission made Xun Yin and other Jeju officials feel angry at the same time, but also confused, and some can't understand why the ghost Rong people did this.

At this time, the Liangzhou army had also withdrawn from Ludi under the leadership of Guo Han, but the people of the Pingtian Army represented by "Zhao Qianzhe" were still here, and it seemed that they were going to figure out the reason for the retreat of the Guirong army before returning to Luoyang.

And the people in the city and others actually didn't object to this, as if they really believed and accepted this Zhao Gongzi as their friend.

After gathering all the information that had already been obtained, Sun Ning quickly came to his own conclusion: "From the current point of view, there is probably only one explanation for the sudden withdrawal of the ghost Rong, that is, there is chaos within them." ”

"Something went on inside?" Xun Yin's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood the key, "You mean that there is a gap between the three parts of Saibei?" ”

"Yes, this is the only reasonable judgment, otherwise how could they decisively abandon the large area of Ludi that they have already obtained?"

Sun Ning said with a solemn expression: "Actually, if you think about it, Ghost Rong has never been monolithic, although I have always regarded them as a whole in the Central Plains. But in fact, the so-called ghost Rong is what they have always claimed to be, the three tribes of Saibei.

"Since they are three ethnic groups, they must have their own different interests, and it is naturally difficult to avoid contradictions and frictions.

"As far as I know, this ghost Rong people were originally composed of the two northern countries that had many grievances with Zhao Song and a newly rising tribe.

"Among them, the Yelu Department that attacked me in Jeju is a descendant of the Liao State, the Wanyan Department that occupies Zizhou is a descendant of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, and the other one is a Murwei.

"These three parties seem to be one, but in fact, as early as more than 200 years ago, there were already attacks against each other, how can these grudges be easily forgotten?

"Maybe when the three of them are in a difficult situation and need to stay together to survive, they can still help each other and trust each other and become a whole.

"But once the situation improves, and it is discovered that foreign enemies are no longer a threat, but that their companions have become opponents who steal their own interests, the contradictions between them will be stimulated."

The more he went on, the more confident Sun Ning's tone became, and he was sure that this should be the truth of the facts.

History has proven countless times that human nature has always been a common source of hardship and prosperity.

In the final analysis, the Guirong people are also human beings, and they are still three divided tribes within themselves, so it is even more difficult to achieve honesty and mutual trust and mutual benefit.

When the Dayue Imperial Court has been suppressing them and has to worry about survival all the time, the three Guirong tribes can naturally work together to resist foreign enemies.

But now, the Dayue Imperial Court has existed in name only, at least the chaotic scene of the Central Plains has long been a group of heroes competing for deer, for the ghosts, the biggest enemy is still missing, so what else do they have to worry about, naturally they have to think about their own tribes.

And this point, in fact, can be seen from their immobility in the past few years.

After taking the northern frontier, Ghost Rong has not moved south for almost many years.

Is it because they prefer peace, or have they met everything that is now?

Obviously, all these conjectures are wrong, and the only explanation is that internal strife has dragged them down, and serious internal friction has left them with no time to look south.

It is also because the forces of all parties in the Central Plains have also fallen into their own competition and development, so they did not think about attacking the north, otherwise the internal problems of the ghost Rong would have been exposed long ago.

After Xun Yin heard this, he fell into a long silence. Then he wondered: "In that case, why did Ghost Rong attack me recklessly this time?" Aren't they in the midst of internal strife? ”

For this question, Sun Ning didn't have a definite answer for a while.

In fact, in the past few years, whether it is Ludi or several forces in the south, they have very little knowledge of the ghosts, not to mention some details about the truth inside them, even their specific movements, they are also at a loss.

"It seems that after this time, we have to send capable people to the north, at least to understand the various relationships between the three parts of the Ghost Rong, thinking that we will make plans in the future." Sun Ning quickly made a plan in his heart.

But this is all in the future, for him now, what he has to do now is to leave Ludi and go to Luoyang.

When he came to Ludi, he couldn't help himself, but after all kinds of changes, Sun Ning changed from passive to active and participated in the negotiation with Guirong and the Liangzhou army.

And now, with the retreat of the Guirong army and the departure of the Liangzhou army, Ludi has temporarily stabilized.

He even took advantage of the opportunity to steal the sky and become Zhao Qianzhe.

That means that Sun Ning can go to Luoyang with this identity and make a good scene in the heart of the Pingtian Army.

So on this day in early September, Sun Ning bid farewell to Xun Yin and others, officially left Jeju, and went west to "return" to Luoyang. And the people who walked with him were naturally the people of the Ping Tianjun, they didn't know that their real son, Zhao Qianzhe, had long been controlled, and now he was still locked in the backyard of Xun Taishou's mansion, and he couldn't even step out of the door......

Some people died, but not completely......
