Chapter 515: Non-stop
Just when the old Huainan King led the city guards and soldiers all the way towards the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu, everyone in Jinling City also discovered that the grassland people outside the city suddenly began to withdraw their troops.
"What the hell is going on?"
In a manor not far from the north gate of Jinling City, all the high-level people in Jinling City are basically gathered here.
Mu Xiayan, as the Sizheng of Zongzheng Temple, is also the person with the highest status in Jinling City, and he asked everyone present majestically.
"Lord Huiyu Temple, we don't know why these grassland barbarians suddenly withdrew their troops."
Zheng Yu was also confused about the sudden withdrawal of the grassland army.
Although he had already sent the soldiers of the Yaowu Army to find out the news, the soldiers who came back to report could not tell what the steppe people were going to do.
"Could it be that Lord Sizheng is a grassland man who found out that we have all returned to the city, and they know that the Jinling city wall is high and thick, and they can't attack it at all, so now they are ready to retreat and escape?"
Seeing that everyone was frowning, Lao Bai immediately stood up and put forward his guess.
"Old Bai Wang, I'm afraid you're not old and confused, right? These steppe barbarians had 20,000 cavalry, and they had already entered the city before, how could they be scared away just because we returned to the city? Do you think they are all your Bai King's personal guards? ”
Mu Qiuye stood up at this time, looking at Lao Bai King with disdain.
Although this old Bai King is his elder according to his seniority, Mu Qiuye has always been proud.
In addition, he is a member of the Mu clan's Yin clan, and they have long been estranged from Lao Baiwang, so he is even more unscrupulous when he speaks.
Old Bai Wang was so ridiculed by Mu Qiuye, and his old face immediately turned red.
But in this regard, Lao Bai Wang could only swallow his anger and did not dare to say anything more.
After all, Mu Qiuye's identity is not something he can fight against.
"Could it be that the steppe army is worried that they will not have an advantage in the battle in the city, and now they are suddenly retreating, just to deliberately lure us out of the city and then give us a return rifle?"
At this time, King Lao Qi suddenly stood up and said.
For the steppe people, the old Qi king was more familiar with them than many people present.
This is because King Laoqi had fought against the steppe army in the northern border for four or five years before that.
And he was different from the other vassal kings who led their troops to the northern border fortress, and the old king of Qi at that time was still the prince of the king of Qi.
At that time, in order to avoid the struggle of the princes of the previous King Qi, he took the initiative to go to the northern border to join the army.
Moreover, the army he joined was not the army of the vassal kings of their Qi country.
Even when he joined the army, he used a pseudonym.
Even so, he made a name for himself on the battlefield.
This also became an important capital for him to ascend to the throne of King Qi.
"It's not that this is not impossible, it's just that if the grassland army really wanted to divert the tiger away from the mountain, they should have left some bait, but now they are all 20,000 troops withdrawing, and the speed of the march is so fast, it is clearly not like they are deliberately luring us!"
The old Jin King put forward a different view at this time.
"If you rule out the possibility of them escaping and diverting from the mountains, then they have a new goal that is enough for them to abandon their current operation."
Mu Xiayan rubbed his eyebrows at this time and said worriedly.
"Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum?"
As soon as Mu Xiayan's words came out, these four words immediately came to everyone's minds.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads.
Just when everyone was in a panic, Shi Wensheng suddenly walked in from the outside at this time.
"Everyone, immediately send troops to Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum!"
When everyone saw that Shi Wensheng walked in, there was no nonsense, and they directly asked everyone to send troops to the Ancestral Tomb of Emperor Yu, and they instantly understood that what they were most worried about just now had happened.
"What the hell is going on with Lord Shi? Why did we send troops to the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu? ”
Mu Xiayan suddenly stood up from his chair.
"The grassland army has already obtained the thunderstorm, and at this time, the retreat of their entire army is basically certain to go to the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu."
In fact, until now, Shi Wensheng and the others didn't know that the grassland people had actually blown up the broken dragon stone at the entrance of the dungeon.
Otherwise, at this time, he might not have time to inform these people, and he would have to go to the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu first.
"These damn steppe barbarians, they really succeeded in digging up the thunder!"
Mu Xiayan slapped the handle of the Hu chair, and immediately broke the handle of the Hu chair.
"Now is not the time to be upset, we must stop them from destroying the underground palace of Emperor Taizu's tomb, once they succeed in destroying the underground palace, we will die a hundred deaths."
When the old Jin King heard this, he immediately got up, and he said with a serious face.
"You go and inform all the talented soldiers who can mobilize them at once, and let them go immediately, and you must stop the steppe people."
Mu Xiayan immediately commanded loudly.
At this time, his tone was full of eagerness.
You must know that if they can't stop these grassland people, then even if the imperial court and Emperor Shengheng don't deal with them, Zongzheng Temple, they will completely decline.
Because the crime of sitting back and watching the tombs of their ancestors being stolen by foreigners is enough to nail them to the pillar of shame in history.
Even if it is a hundred years and thousands of years in the future, even if the country changes, they will still be recorded in the history books and spurned by future generations.
When the people heard this, they immediately went to gather their soldiers and prepare to set off.
"Autumn leaves, you immediately go and inform all the Qingjia Army, now immediately rush to the Ancestral Tomb of Emperor Yu as fast as possible, and at the same time prepare them for a desperate battle!"
Mu Xiayan then turned his head to Mu Qiuye and admonished.
"Temple is relieved, I'm going to inform everyone!"
After speaking, Mu Qiuye turned his head and went out.
It wasn't until Mu Qiuye walked out of the door that Mu Xiayan opened his mouth to ask Shi Wensheng.
"JunHe was with you before, but now what about others?"
Mu Xiayan thought that in this situation, if they really fought to the death with the grassland army, they might be able to win, but the result would definitely be a loss of troops.
And at this time, if they can kill the leader of the steppe army with a decapitation operation, maybe they will be able to relieve this crisis at the least cost.
That's why he remembered Mu Junhe.
"Before, after the prince of Junhe found out that the grassland people had successfully excavated part of the thunder, he took the lead in going out of the city alone."
"Did this kid run away?"
Mu Xiayan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked with an incredulous expression.
"It shouldn't be that he escaped, he probably went to chase those thunderstorms."
Although strictly speaking, Mu Junhe and Shi Wensheng are not in the same group, it can even be said that they are still enemies to some extent.
But this did not prevent Shi Wensheng from appreciating Mu Junhe.
If it weren't for the irreconcilable contradiction between Mu Junhe and Emperor Shengheng, perhaps Shi Wensheng would replace the crown prince to win over Mu Junhe.
Even if it costs them a lot, they are willing.
"Come to think of it, Junhe, this kid has always been a persistent person, since he has discovered that the grassland people have excavated the thunderstorm, then he will definitely take back the thunder."
Mu Xiayan then nodded and said.
However, although he had determined that Mu Junhe wanted to recapture those thunderbolts, he was not optimistic that Mu Junhe would succeed.
Not to mention that he is just a solo rider, just the speed of the other party, he is completely fundamental.
"This time the matter has come to this point, we won't say who is right and who is wrong for the time being, after this matter is over, I will make it clear to Emperor Shengheng, but I hope that when we act next, we can abandon the previous suspicions and unite completely, otherwise don't blame me for directly killing some people with bad intentions at that time!"
Although Mu Xiayan knew that it was probably inappropriate to say such things at this time, it was likely to make the other party rebellious.
But he had to say it.
Otherwise, if someone drags his feet in the next battle with the steppe people, and when he intervenes to punish him, it is likely to cause a mutiny.
At that time, there may not be a need for the steppe people to take action, and they themselves will be completely in a mess.
"Although you have political disagreements with the court and His Majesty, and both sides regard each other as a thorn in the flesh, but in the final analysis, everyone is a big man! At such times, we will inevitably abandon all discord and expel the foreigners first. ”
Shi Wensheng saw that Mu Xiayan had already spoken to this extent, so he no longer hid it.
He directly said everything in his heart.
"Good! Lord Shi, I hope you will remember what you said, and I hope you can say this to your subordinates. ”
After Mu Xiayan finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the door and went straight to his war horse.
"Master Temple, don't worry, Shi will do what he says."
Then he walked out of the door and walked in the direction of his bodyguard.
Unlike the situation where everyone in Jinling City was heavy and worried, the grassland army at this time could be described as high-spirited.
"Lord Shaman, how can we leave the Dayu Dynasty smoothly after we have looted Jinling City?"
However, compared to the joy of others, Murong Tongwei was more worried about what to do after they successfully annihilated the defenders of Jinling City and then looted Jinling City.
After all, once the news spread that they destroyed the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu and then looted Jinling City, everyone in the Great Yu Dynasty would regard them as their greatest enemies.
When the time comes, not to mention that the envoys of the vassal kings of the Dayu Dynasty will attack them, even the Emperor Shengheng, who has reached an agreement with them, will definitely be furious and send troops to completely exterminate them.
Therefore, Murong Tongwei, who has always been accustomed to taking precautions, had to raise this question first at this time.
"Hey! King Tugu, can you not be so disappointed, what are you doing at this time with a worried look? ”
Wan Qi Yuele rode on the war horse, but said with a dissatisfied face.
"Xianbei Khan is right, this is the time when we are about to achieve immortal deeds, you should be happy!"
Mu Hua Li Falcon also said to Murong Tongwei with a smile on his face.
"Lord Shaman, it's not that I intend to sweep everyone's interest, it's just that we are in the hinterland of the Dayu Dynasty at this time, and we originally took a huge risk to go south to loot Jinling City, and now we have blown up the imperial tomb of the founding emperor of the Dayu Dynasty, once the news spreads, we are in the Dayu Dynasty, it will be the enemy of the whole world!"
Murong Tongwei directly expressed all his worries.
His words made the surrounding grassland generals nod their heads in agreement.
In the eyes of these generals, this time their bombing of the mausoleum of the Dayu Emperor was basically equivalent to the Dayu people stepping on the Wolf Juting Mountain.
This kind of behavior basically shows that you want to fight to the death with the other party.
Therefore, these generals also began to worry about their next retreat.
Although Muhua Li Falcon swore that blowing up the tomb of Emperor Dayu would give the grassland people a chance to enter the Central Plains.
But this is also the side of Mu Hua Li Falcon's words, and it is unknown how much credibility there is.
Most generals don't really believe in this kind of ethereal thing.
After all, they are not ordinary herders at the bottom.
"I said, what are you afraid of, since the shaman has made a plan, he must have already thought of a way out, and you are all worried about nothing!"
Wan Qiyue Le saw that there were also people in the Xianbei clan who nodded secretly, and he immediately scolded everyone angrily.
As soon as he said this, the generals of the Xianbei clan lowered their heads one after another.
"I once read a book by the Dayu Buddhist family, which said that the reason why people have troubles is because they understand too much and think too much, and now it seems that this is really reasonable."
Mu Hua Li Falcon said with a smile on his face.
Murong Tong saw that Mu Hua Li Falcon was still smiling, and he immediately understood that what Wan Qi Yue Le had just said was indeed true.
At this moment, his hanging heart finally let go.
"Shaman, since you have arranged everything, then we will follow your instructions."
Murong Tongwei immediately beat his chest with one hand, then lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, if we run like this, we will be exhausted even if we reach the Ancestral Tomb of Emperor Yu, how can we fight against the grassland army at that time?"
When the old Huainan King ran away for a long time with the Huainan Wang's personal guards, a Huainan Wang's personal guard caught up with the old Huainan Wang's war horse and said.
"Yes, all the soldiers are now wearing battle armor and carrying weapons, and if they run like this, they will definitely be powerless to fight against the grassland army when they wait for the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu."
Another Huainan prince's guard also said.
"What do you think we should do?"
The old King Huainan on the war horse frowned and asked.
"Please allow me to rest for a while before I set off!"
The first Huainan king's personal guard saw the old Huainan king speak, and he immediately said happily.
It stands to reason that as the personal guards of the King of Huainan, they usually have extremely strict training.
But as veterans of the Huainan King's personal guards, several of them already have some privileges.
In addition, their usual duty is to protect the old Huainan King in Jinling City, and there is nothing else to do.
As a result, over time, they begin to lack exercise.
Although this will not have much effect on their combat effectiveness, it will greatly reduce their stamina.
"Humph! Come on, cut these two guys for me! ”
The old King Huainan, who was originally very calm on his war horse, suddenly commanded sharply.
His command directly confused the surrounding Huainan King guards.
You must know that this guy who was ordered to be cut down by the old King Huainan is their superior.
"The king is angry! I'm wrong, please spare us! ”
When the two of them heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they knelt down with a plop, and then kowtowed like garlic and begged for mercy.
"Humph! You are trying to disturb the morale of the army, how do you say you should be spared? ”
The old Huainan King was unmoved, and he continued to question sharply.
"This ······"
The two were directly speechless by the old Huainan King's question.
"Your Highness, at this time, the big war is about to be employed, and the two generals are also unintentional, how about letting them make meritorious contributions?"
Seeing this, Lu He immediately stood up and persuaded him.
In fact, he knew very well that the old Huainan Wang was punishing his personal guards on the surface, but in fact, he was also warning him and a group of city guards in disguise.
