Chapter 324: King Wei is benevolent
The soldiers in charge of maintaining order were startled and hurriedly raised their weapons to block them.
"What do you want?"
Feng Ji's face sank, and he shouted.
He was responsible for maintaining order in the city, and the sudden appearance of so many people storming the city gate made him a little disgraced.
"We want to see King Wei!"
"Yes, we have something to say to King Wei!"
The people suddenly shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Hua Xiong became interested.
"Let them come."
"My lord, the people are mixed, in case some people have bad intentions......"
Feng Ji hesitated.
"I'm not afraid of thousands of Wuhuan people, how can I be afraid of the people under my rule?"
Hua Xiong smiled and said loudly to the soldier,
"Let them come!"
The soldiers listened to Hua Xiong's words and flashed out of the gap.
The people came like a tidal wave, and when they came to Hua Xiong, they knelt down one after another.
"Plop", "Plop", "Plop" a series of sounds.
For a while, the city gate was full of black heads, kneeling with crowds.
Seeing this scene, Guo Jia, Feng Ji and others were taken aback.
Even Hua Xiong was a little confused.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing?"
Hua Xiong said strangely.
"King Wei is benevolent and righteous, save us from fire and water. We are grateful to the King of Wei for his great kindness, so we come to kneel down and thank the King of Wei! ”
It was a woman who was holding a young child in one hand.
It was the dog and the Liu family who were rescued by Jiang Wei before.
"If there is no King Wei, I am afraid that the concubine and the child will die at the hands of the Wuhuan people."
Liu's eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Hua Xiong.
"Yes, if it weren't for King Wei beating away the Wuhuan people, we would all be finished!"
"King Wei is benevolent!"
"King Wei Chitose!"
The people chanted slogans excitedly and kept kowtowing to Huaxiong.
Hua Xiong hurriedly beckoned, signaling the soldiers to help the people up.
He smiled and said,
"You and others are all my Han people, and it is the court's duty to protect you and others. You're welcome.
Don't worry, as long as I am for a day, I will not let the Wuhuan people harass you! ”
"King Wei is wise and martial!"
In the cheers of the people, Hua Xiong and the others slowly left.
Council Chamber.
Hua Xiong and the military advisers and generals sat down respectively.
"Lord, the Wuhuan people have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are menacing, how should we deal with it?"
Feng Ji asked.
"In my opinion, it's wiser for us to withdraw."
Li Ru suggested.
"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted."
Jia Xu bowed his head.
It has been several months since Huaxiong mobilized a large army to launch an attack on Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, Gao Gan and others.
It can be said that the troops under his command are all tired divisions.
It is precisely because of this that Hua Xiong previously let Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others go back.
The first is to recuperate, and the second is to prepare for the Xuanwu Military Region.
The Wu army suffered heavy casualties this time, and Hua Xiong only had less than 30,000 people left in his hands.
With only 30,000 people fighting against the Wuhuan people, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Regarding their suggestion to withdraw from the army, Hua Xiong was noncommittal, and looked at Feng Ji on the side.
"Yuantu, what do you mean?"
Feng Ji's brows furrowed and he sighed,
"My lord, although I don't want to give up Youzhou, the current situation is not optimistic.
Our army is not superior in numbers, and it is difficult to replenish.
Jixian County is dilapidated and undefensible.
The best way is to retreat to Yecheng to defend against the attack of the Wuhuan people. ”
Feng Jicai was promoted to Youzhou Assassin History, and he was really unwilling to give up Youzhou.
But helplessly, Wuhuan was powerful, and he could only endure the pain to make such a suggestion.
Hua Xiong smiled, still didn't speak, and his eyes fell on Guo Jia on the side.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
"My opinion is the same as that of the lord, you can't put it!"
Guo Jia is categorical.
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes couldn't help but look at Hua Xiong.
"Yes, I also think that Youzhou can't be put in it."
Hua Xiong said softly.
"Lord, why is that?"
Feng Ji is incomprehensible.
"The land of Youzhou has just been occupied by our army, and if we give it up, everything that we have managed to operate will be all in vain.
And now it is a scorching summer, and if you want to relaunch the attack on Wuhuan, you can only wait until the beginning of spring next year.
When the Wuhuan people operate Youzhou into an iron bucket array, we will have to pay a lot of price. ”
Hua Xiong slowly said his analysis.
Everyone was stunned, thought for a while, and nodded involuntarily.
The winter climate in the north was cold, and it was difficult for the imperial army to fight.
The Wuhuan people have lived outside the Saiwai for a long time and are extremely cold-tolerant.
If you don't take advantage of the current opportunity to attack, I'm afraid you will have to wait until next year.
"None of this is the most important thing, the most important thing is the people!"
Hua Xiong said in a deep voice,
"If you give up Youzhou and return to Jizhou, the people of Youzhou will be humiliated by the Wuhuan people!
How can I, Huaxiong, stand by and watch?! ”
His words were so categorical that the crowd was speechless to object.
"But Wuhuan is powerful, this is also an indisputable fact."
Feng Ji frowned,
"How can this be resisted?"
"I have already ordered Zhang Liao to lead 30,000 people to Jixian County.
Soldiers are more valuable than many. ”
Hua Xiong smiled,
"What about the 100,000 people of his Wuhuan people? Haven't you been killed by me coming and going freely? ”
The crowd burst into chuckles.
The originally dull atmosphere has become much more relaxed.
"The most important thing is that the officers and men of our army work together, and the people support it, this is the root of our victory!"
Hua Xiong said seriously.
Thinking of the soldiers who were loyal to Hua Xiong outside just now, and the people of Youzhou who were grateful to Dade, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
"Then how should we deal with Wu Huan, lord, you just command!"
Jiang Wei's eyes were blazing,
"I won't be careless this time!"
"That's right, we'll let the Wuhuan people pay for it with blood!"
Deng Ai also gritted his teeth and said.
Hua Xiong got up and led them to the battle hall at the back.
There is a huge table with a sand table in the Youzhou area, which shows the mountains and rivers of each region in detail.
Hua Xiong pointed to the sand table and said eloquently,
"The topography of Youzhou is not complicated, except for a main road, it is full of lofty mountains.
Now that the Wuhuan people occupy the main road, if our army wants to go north, it will inevitably clash with them head-on.
However, the Wuhuan people are several times stronger than ours, and it is unwise to fight hard.
So I'm going to spare the army of Badun and attack from the rear! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and their eyes were full of puzzlement.
"Lord, didn't you just say that Youzhou is full of lofty mountains, and the only main road is occupied by the Wuhuan people.
How do we get behind them? ”
Gan Ning said strangely.
