Chapter 180: Man Gui's Worries
Man Gui looked at Yuan Chonghuan next to him, and the worry on his face could not be dissipated.
He suddenly regretted being involved in such a thing.
He was faintly uneasy in his heart, if it was really as they thought, then Jiannu had now defeated the Emperor of the Apocalypse, then naturally everything would be fine.
But what if not?
If the current Majesty resists the attack of Jiannu, then when His Majesty retreats to the Great Wall, then how will they deal with themselves?
Their camp was less than a thousand miles away from Xifengkou, and His Majesty sent them a holy decree asking for assistance a month and a half in advance.
They had walked for a month and a half, and now there were two hundred miles left.
If it was just an accident, they wouldn't believe it.
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Man Gui's worried expression next to him, and there was a misunderstanding on the spot.
He also thought that the other party was afraid that after Zhu Youxiao was caught, Jiannu would take the opportunity to enter Xifengkou.
He smiled and pointed at Man Gui and said: "Mandu Dudu, in fact, you don't need to think so much, no matter how powerful the Jiannu battle is, after annihilating the 30,000 Ming army and the 20,000 cavalry of the Chahar department, there will definitely be no strength left to attack Xifengkou." ”
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if they really have the heart to attack Xifengkou, but they have experienced a series of battles, and their strength will definitely be greatly damaged."
"Most of the troops we brought over this time are our own soldiers who have been raised for many years, and they can basically be regarded as the most elite troops in Liaodong."
"With these 10,000 of the most elite troops, we can easily drive Jiannu out, and that will definitely not be a problem."
"You're still a battlefield veteran, don't you know that?"
Man Gui looked at Yuan Chonghuan's expression and found that the other party didn't have too much worry on his face, but had a smile on his face.
He couldn't help but look at Yuan Chonghuan and asked, "Inspector Yuan, you said that if our Ming army defeats Jiannu, then we will go over now, wouldn't it happen to meet Your Majesty's army?" ”
"Your Majesty will definitely hold us people accountable, we have been delaying for so long, we can't say anything about it, what should we do?"
Unexpectedly, after Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he actually looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Mandudu, if it weren't for the ban on alcohol in the army, I really thought you were drunk and hadn't woken up, do you think it's possible?"
"Just with His Majesty's 30,000 troops who have never even fought, it is difficult to fight with Jiannu's army and to repel the other party."
"If this matter is really so easy to handle, then I can't agree to Hui Shiyang and them to do such a risky thing."
Man Gui over there still wanted to speak, but Yuan Chonghuan had already raised his hand and said, "Mandu Dudu, I see that you have been too tired recently, and you are thinking about it in your head." ”
"There is absolutely no possibility of these things you are thinking, if you think that His Majesty's army is likely to resist the attack of Cinnor, then you might as well think about it."
"Maybe it's the cavalry of the Chahar Division, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky to defeat Jiannu at once, so it's more practical."
"It's better than you think that the 30,000 Ming troops who have not experienced any war will directly defeat Jiannu and come a little more reliable."
When Man Gui heard Yuan Chonghuan say so much, he also felt that what the other party said made some sense, and his heart was barely a little more stable.
It's just that he was really panicked in his heart, he was very depressed, and he had no way to tell others, so he became more and more uncomfortable.
Yuan Chonghuan saw that Man Gui still had such an expression, the two had worked together for so many years, and it was purely to understand what Man Gui meant, so he said some things that Man Gui didn't know.
"All right, my Mandu, then I'll tell you a few more things."
"Say it."
Yuan Chonghuan waved away the entourage that followed behind, approached Man Gui, and said softly: "Actually, the people behind the Donglin Party not only bribed us and promised us something, but he also hooked up with the two guards at Xifengkou. ”
"Come to think of it, they also gave the two guards a lot of good things, and I heard that the two guards have agreed."
"As long as Your Majesty leaves Xifengkou at that time, no matter what the war is like outside the pass, they will close the gate of Xifengkou and no longer allow Your Majesty's troops to return to Xifengkou."
"Think about it, when the time comes, after His Majesty's army is defeated, even if he wants to return to the Great Wall and accept the protection of Xifengkou, it will be absolutely impossible, and what can be ushered in will definitely be the annihilation of the whole army."
When Man Gui heard this, his eyes widened as big as copper bells.
He looked at Yuan Chonghuan in disbelief.
I only saw Yuan Chenghuan nodding lightly, "What I said is well-founded, and there will definitely be no half-truth, so you can rest assured!" ”
Man Gui received an affirmative reply, but he couldn't accept such a cruel reality, and still muttered, "How dare they? How dare they? ”
That Yuan Chonghuan sneered, "They don't dare, what dare they do, if they really don't dare, then they won't bribe us and delay our assistance to Your Majesty." ”
"If they didn't dare, they wouldn't have sold so much grain and grass to those Jiannu through Xifengkou and our Liaodong over the years."
"No, it's not just grain and grass materials, think about how many contraband there are in there, as long as Jiannu can afford the price, what do they dare not sell?"
"As for the things they sell, if they are exposed, and only the nine clans are punished, it will be Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness."
"What they are doing now, that's even more remarkable, they actually want to control the throne in their hands, this emperor is not honest, they simply want to change the emperor."
"In the past, we couldn't have thought of these things, but now, this thing has become a reality."
"I'm afraid that the people behind the Donglin Party are so powerful that they don't know where they are stronger than we imagined."
"The two of us are majestic in Liaodong, but in fact, we are just chess pieces in the hands of those people."
"Look at those Donglin Party members, they keep saying that they are for the common people in the world, and that they are for the sake of the country, but in fact, what they do is also the thing of chickens and dogs, and they are not the pawns of the people behind them."
Man Gui was originally born in poverty, and he really relied on his military exploits to fight step by step.
These things of Yuan Chonghuan can be said to have completely subverted his three views.
"Is it true that Your Majesty has no hope of success?"
"Are we just at the mercy of these Donglin Party members and the people behind them?"
