Chapter 268: I'm done delivering, you guys can also send a few
In the first battle along the coast of Shuishui, the Donghu people suffered heavy losses.
Not only did Pu Qiancheng fold, but the vanguard soldiers and horses of 30,000 were also lost, and more than 20,000 were lost.
Even though Pu Qianrong is in his heart, he doesn't know how to excuse himself in front of Pu Qianyonggu, but he can't just delay.
Previously, in the deliberations of Wang Luo and Pu Qian Yonggu, Emperor Han would continue to stir up trouble in Runan County.
Maybe as usual, he will make amazing moves, and he will be bold and go straight to Xuchang.
In this way, they could take the opportunity to bypass the Han Emperor.
With a large army to the west, in the area of Wancheng and Xinye in Jingbei, he engaged the main force of the Han army, and launched a general attack at the same time.
Then, with the advantage of troops, the main force of the Han army was directly wiped out in one go, and no matter how bad it was, the Han army could be beaten back to Jingnan, so as to hold Jingbei steadily.
When the time comes, it will be much easier to turn around and clean up Runan County and Emperor Han.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Han was worthy of being the most unexpected and dangerous general in history, and he was unexpected, leading the army to arrive on the bank of the Shuishui River.
They rushed to Jingbei against time, and the same was true of Emperor Han.
The two sides thought together.
This will not only have an impact on the grand strategy of Pu Qian, but will also be extremely detrimental to the subsequent advances.
Originally, it was a tactic to avoid Emperor Han and fight a siege of Wei to save Zhao, but it was difficult to decide whether to advance or retreat.
You can only let the Khan know before making a decision.
Even Pu Qianrong felt that if he was a step slower, it would not be the loss of Pu Qiancheng and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the army of 150,000 or 60,000 would be wiped out in an instant.
So, no matter how much Pu Qianrong trembled in his heart, he had to be discouraged and go back with his soldiers and horses to join the main army.
There were three or five hundred routs on the road, and they were even rushed out of the deep mountains and old forests.
Hundreds of knights tripped over stumbling ropes, and those who lost their horses and became horseless pawns were lucky, and there were not a few who threw their lives together.
When Pu Qianrong was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he finally saw where the army was.
Pu Qian Yonggu is a benevolent character.
When I heard that Pu Qianrong was coming to join with the rout, Chu Yi really felt that the loss was too great, and he was a little annoyed.
But thinking of the successive defeats of the Donghu people against the Han army over the years, he just sighed.
A big defeat was not a surprise at all.
Pu Qian Yonggu thought of one thing.
I heard that Li Jingji was repeatedly defeated in the battle of Changsha, and even when he built a dam, he was driven away by a light horseman.
But even so, the Han Emperor did not punish him, but immediately went out of the camp to wait for the response after crossing the river to join the Han army.
Perhaps, it is such an emperor of the Han Dynasty who is worthy of the allegiance of so many immortal talents, so as to win the hearts of the people and win a hundred battles, right?
Therefore, Pu Qian Yonggu did not intend to punish Pu Qianrong more, but wanted to comfort him.
So come and greet you personally.
But when he saw this group of routs, he was directly stunned.
At this time, Pu Qianrong, as well as the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, how can a tragic word be described.
Thousands of horsemen, when they go, they can still be rich with one person and two horses.
And now it's mostly a two-person ride.
It's quite romantic.
Their hair was scattered, their armor was torn, their faces were full of exhaustion and blood, and there was only fear in their eyes.
Some people get off the horse and can no longer walk, so they can only limp and support themselves.
Even Pu Qian Yonggu himself couldn't believe that this was his own soldier who was still in high spirits a few days ago.
And this group of routs behaved even more unbearable.
The blade that would rather die than let go in the past was thrown directly to the ground.
He even crawled on the ground and could no longer stand up.
The blade of the saber, glowing in the sun, reflected the numb faces.
It even affected other Donghu soldiers in the army, and for a while, the atmosphere in the army was a little sad.
Pu Qian Yonggu could smell the faint smell of blood on the soldiers.
So much so that in my heart, I felt a little helpless and painful.
He could vaguely guess what was happening.
There are 30,000 people left to count the money, and they are defeated like this, and Pu Qiancheng has not seen it.
Apparently met the Han Emperor.
"Come in with me and talk slowly."
Pu Qian Yonggu just patted Pu Qianrong's back and didn't say much.
is also facing Emperor Han, Nie Qiang can retreat with his whole body, and even run back with cavalry, but he looks a little embarrassed.
Pu Qiancheng is a person who is directly gone, and Pu Qianrong is even more like losing his soul.
In such a comparison, Nie Qiang is really worthy of the name of the first general in the front of Pu.
This battle still depends on Nie Qiang.
Pu Qianrong silently followed Pu Qianyong and walked into the account.
The tent was a little dark, but at this time, Pu Qianrong felt that he could finally let go of his heavy heart, and his emotions were released, so he couldn't help but sobbed a few times.
Pu Qian Yonggu sat in the tent like this, and there was silence between the two for a while.
Because he knew that Pu Qianrong was crying.
Pu Qian Yonggu still chose tolerance, he is not only the Khan King of Pu Qian, but also the brother of Pu Qianrong.
The soft sobbing finally stopped.
Pu Qian Yonggu called Nie Qiang and other henchmen in the camp and said:
"Tell me what's going on."
Pu Qianrong made a brief report, in fact, the war is really simple.
It was nothing more than 30,000 pioneers who saw the Han army, Pu Qiancheng didn't want to be cowardly before fighting, so he went up recklessly, and then lost his life, and 30,000 soldiers and horses lost two battles in a row, with heavy casualties.
Usually, if someone suffers such a big defeat, when reporting to the boss, they must be half-truthful, otherwise it will seem too wasteful.
But now Pu Qianrong has no chance of adulteration at all.
His defeat, even if the casualties were directly cut in half, was worth pulling out and cutting to stabilize the morale of the army.
Nie Qiang stood aside, quite emotional.
He also roughly understood what the situation was between Pu Qiancheng and Pu Qianrong.
But there wasn't much schadenfreude in my heart.
Now it's not that he lost to Emperor Han, and others also lost to Emperor Han, everyone is defeated, which means that they are not defeated, and it is time for me to comfort.
Pu Qian Yonggu slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
"The Donghu people are the descendants of wolves"
He expected a fiasco.
After all, with the appearance of Pu Qianrong and the rout, anyone can guess this result.
But Pu Qiancheng's brazen and Han Emperor's momentum really made him feel a chill in his back.
Since the Han Emperor ascended the throne, the Han army has been in high spirits, and it has actually fought from a city to the point where the Northern Expedition returned to Chang'an.
In the past, it was the Han people who avoided the Donghu people, but now it is the Donghu people who avoid the Han people.
Including this army dispatch, Wang Luo's strategic policy was to avoid the Han Emperor to fight.
Pu Qiancheng did give him a wake-up call.
"King Khan, the Han Emperor has already crossed the water, I am afraid that it will join the main force of the Han army in the near future, and it will not be difficult to take Wancheng and Xinye when the time comes."
"Another defeat of our army will inevitably affect the morale of the army, but I am afraid that it will slow down the march a little, and it will be difficult to meet Yao Chang on the front line in time."
Pu Qianrong has adjusted at this time, and this defeat cannot be erased, but at least Pu Qiancheng and the soldiers can't die in vain.
Pu Qian listened to it forever, tightened his brows, and was quite worried:
"Since the dispatch of the troops, our army has been traveling day and night, and there are teachers in the rear to dispatch grain and grass baggage, which should be the fastest speed of the march."
"But now, it's still a step slower."
"And the Han Emperor did not continue to stir up the wind and rain in Runan County as the teacher expected, but returned to Jingbei unexpectedly."
"What a good thing this is!"
Pu Qian Yonggu was a little helpless.
He is humble and obedient, and he is a good lord.
But in the front part of Pu, Quanyi and Wang Luo, who are longer than Zhiluo, one is dead, and the other is in the rear, and now there are few people around him who can be discussed.
Moreover, they knew very little about the overall situation of the Han army at this time.
According to the news brought back by Pu Qianrong, that is, the Han Emperor crossed the water with about 3,000 soldiers and horses.
But what about the rest of the soldiers?
Since the Han Emperor entered Runan, there should be more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
The remaining seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses are in Runan, or are they also on the way back to Jingzhou?
Now the army is working day and night, and the messaging is not very smooth.
This makes Pu Qian Yonggu not only have a blank understanding of the surrounding situation, but he doesn't even know how many soldiers and horses the Han army has.
Now, of course, it is possible to send spies to reconnoiter everywhere, but this kind of reconnaissance method is very simple, so it can only be hearsay, and can only roughly know the movements of the Han army, and it will delay the speed of the march.
Pu Qian Yonggu thought about it, looked at Nie Qiang, sighed and said:
"General Nie, the only person Ben Khan can rely on now is you!"
Nie Qiang didn't know what to say for a while.
To say that the Khan trusted him, it is indeed trust.
really let him fight with Emperor Han, he always felt as if he was urging him to die.
"Don't disturb the King of Khan, the top priority is to find out the news first, the Han Emperor is already brave, ordinary people can't be defeated, and you can't act rashly without any news."
"Now that the Han Emperor and the main force of the Han army converge, it is inevitable, and in this case, it is not impossible for our army to march a little slower."
"But after the news is discovered, we can make a decision, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be dispatched, and every military order must be extremely cautious."
Nie Qiang's proposal is good, this is indeed the safest way.
Even Pu Qianrong nodded in agreement:
"King Khan, what General Nie said is reasonable, and I will arrange the exploration horse first, and I will personally go to find out the news."
"If Emperor Han has taken the soldiers and horses and completely left Runan, then the soldiers and horses in Runan County can also be dispatched."
Nie Qiang nodded again and again.
That's what he thought, Emperor Han came to Jingbei, and it wasn't all bad news.
At least in this way, the soldiers and horses in Runan County will not be contained.
That was the entire Yuzhou soldiers and horses mobilized by Quan Yi in order to ambush on all sides before his death.
If it can be transferred to the Jingbei front, it will not only make up for the losses of the 20,000 people, but also make up for the 200,000 troops.
There are many people, and it is more reassuring.
No matter how bad it is, even if it is a big defeat, with so many people covering, it is convenient to run away.
Pu Qian Yonggu listened, first nodded, then shook his head, and smiled bitterly on his face:
"But this is not a plan against the enemy after all!"
Suddenly, he wrinkled his brows:
"Ah Cheng is right, the Donghu people are the descendants of wolves, they can eat defeat, but they can't be cowardly, although Ah Cheng died in battle, Ben Khan hopes that his death can wake up the clansmen."
"Even if it is defeat or death, you should not retreat!"
"This is the world laid down by our ancestors, how can you fake your hands to others?"
Nie Qiang is not from Donghu and did not express an opinion.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
Could the Han people have thought the same way when they resisted the southward invasion of the Donghu people?
Suddenly, Pu Qianrong slapped his head violently, and hurriedly took out the crumpled bag from his shirt.
"King Khan, the prince gave Ah Cheng three brocades before he set out on his expedition."
"This first trick is to let Ah Cheng rush to the narrow place of the water."
"The second one is to open it when the ferry fails"
Pu Qian Yonggu was stunned:
"Old, the teacher actually calculated this step?"
He didn't expect that this rush could fail, but he didn't expect Wang Luo to really take it into account.
Nie Qiang's eyes also lit up, and he hurriedly urged:
"Open it up!!"
When Wang Luo wanted to cut him down before, Pu Qiancheng did not hesitate to take his soldiers to offend King Khan and relieve him from the siege.
Although this is a scene made by Wang Luo and Pu Qiancheng, he still records in his heart that in any case, in the eyes of outsiders, Pu Qiancheng is almost about to launch a mutiny for him.
If he can't avenge Pu Qiancheng, how will the people of the world view him?
Nie Qiang glanced at a long scab in the palm of his hand, after Pu Qianguang died, he made an oath that he would be ashamed before the snow, and Pu Qiancheng would die, and the weight of the oath would be heavier.
Pu Qianrong hurriedly opened the bag and read it while reading.
Pu Qian Yonggu listened and said:
"Is that so, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to ask for help is to ask for help from the Beggar Department and the Shi Zhou Hao Department"
Nie Qiang nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Shi Zhou's department is suffering from a locust plague at this time, and Shunan is also lost, so I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of myself, and I may not be able to take care of the war in Jingbei."
"However, since the repulsion of the bald department, the beggar department has completely stabilized the situation, and now that it has recovered its strength, it is time to send troops."
It's a good way, now that the three departments are united, it can't all be that Pu Qianbu has been dead and injured, you Shi Zhouhao Department and Qiyan Department, you have to come over and send a few!
Pu Qian Yonggu nodded again and again, his political sense of smell is still quite sensitive, this is not only asking for help, but also further deepening the cooperation between the three tribes of Pu Qian, Shi Zhouhao, and Qiyan.
Wang Luo hurt the Murong Ministry, but for the internal affairs of the Donghu Babu, it was not just a simple infighting.
Hit a part, a part.
This Shi Zhou Hao Department and the Qiyan Department, since they have been united, they are definitely the objects to be fought for.
Anyway, as long as the three departments abandon their previous suspicions and work together completely, even if the battle in Jingbei is deadlocked, it will be a good phenomenon for the entire Donghu Babu.
Murong Ministry, who was already beaten by Wang Luo, is likely to cooperate sincerely.
In addition to the Puliuru department, which was used as a dog for the Han people, there were only three left, and it was possible to express its position.
At that time, the strength of the seven divisions of Hedong Hu should be enough to fight with the Han Emperor.
Thinking about it this way, the top priority is not only to investigate the intelligence, but also to get the beggar department to send troops as soon as possible.
"I personally wrote a letter to Qiyan Jinhan, and told him about the battle of Ah Cheng."
"The eight tribes of Donghu have their own policies, but they are all the descendants of wolves after all."
Pu Qian Yonggu took off the pen and paper and wrote hard.
Don't say it, Pu Qiancheng is very handsome in this death, although the plan failed, but after all, he played the blood of the Donghu people.
Maybe he can really rely on this death to awaken many Donghu people.
Hiss.
Wang Luo shouldn't have deliberately made Pu Qian heroic, right?
Pu Qian Yonggu hurriedly shook his head and threw out this immoral idea.
Now, the only thing he can do is wait.
Wait for the situation in Runan County, and wait for the beggar department to send troops.
