Batusu hurriedly came to see Li Chongshan, Li Chongshan had never seen Batusu so anxious, and knew that something important must happen, and he was nervous at the moment.

"Hachi is a sinner of Dameng, and he should be divided into five horses. Your Majesty, there has been news from Jingdong, Hachi's younger brother Ha He took almost all the main forces of Jingdong Road to be wiped out in Muyang, Haizhou, Lin Jianyue's cavalry army is also there, Sun Zhengyi is the biggest traitor, he is the main general who defeated the Ha Han army, and the loss of Jingdong Road is inevitable. ”

Li Chongshan was not as flustered as Batusu at this time, it was the loss of the main force of the cavalry, it seemed that he could only take a defensive position in the face of Lin Jianyue in a few years, and now the top priority was to keep the essence of the main force in his hands.

failed to defeat Lin Jianyue quickly, Li Chongshan already knew that he could only retreat to Hebei, but he was unwilling and hoped to find an opportunity to hit Lin Jianyue hard before leaving.

"Marshal Ba, it is difficult to fortify the city, is there a chance for us to directly withdraw our troops and rush eastward to kill Sun Zhengyi first?"

Batusu couldn't help but admire Li Chongshan a little at this time, he was really the hero, his face did not change in the face of the news of the major defeat, and when Lin Jianyue's main forces did not converge, he immediately wanted to go east to attack Sun Zhengyi, and Batusu almost didn't keep up with this turn.

In the past, it was possible to have an advantage in terms of troops and resources, but now it is absolutely not possible, the eyes of the whole Central Plains are staring at this army, the road is so far away, the occurrence of accidents cannot be ruled out halfway, and hundreds of thousands of troops cannot conceal people, in fact, it is hard, and the logistics estimate cannot keep up.

With Lin Jianyue's strength, how can he watch his army annihilated, he doesn't have the courage to go out of the city for a decisive battle now, but he definitely has the courage to follow the army to outflank, once he can't defeat Sun Zhengyi quickly, I'm afraid there are not many people who can return to Hebei, and that is a complete failure.

"Your Majesty, once Hedong is lost, Hebei and Dadu will be threatened, and Guanzhong will also be isolated. There has been clear information that Pu Jinzhong's Huaidong Army also participated in the battle between Son Zhengyi and Hahe, indicating that the two armies have merged, even if they do not refuse to defend the city, it will cause us heavy losses, Lin Jianyue will not ignore it, thousands of miles apart, in fact, we can't quickly defeat Sun Zhengyi. ”

Even there is no way to do this, Li Chongshan finally lost his temper, kicked the table in front of him, and the wine and meat flew wildly.

Batusu had no choice, in order to comfort Li Chongshan, he had to say: "But we can pretend to go east and lure Lin Jianyue's army out, as long as he comes out, if he is unprepared, even if he can't be annihilated, he can be severely injured." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a way, Li Chongshan's face looked better.

But Batusu never wanted Lin Jianyue to come out, now his morale is low, if he really wants to fight a decisive battle, Batusu is actually not sure in his heart, he only hopes to leave the Central Plains and return to Hebei as soon as possible, with Menghu's strong war potential, the Yellow River front is so long, it is not that there is no chance to make a comeback in the future.

After being in a high position for so many years, how could Batusu not know what Li Chongshan was thinking? Your Majesty is anxious to save his face and maintain his prestige, otherwise according to the previous rules on the grassland, the strongest is the king, and now it is much better, plus with the most elite army, Your Majesty does not need to worry so much, what you should worry about is how to bring this army back completely, and Hachi, you have to find a way to hold it down.

But he didn't dare to say it clearly, a companion is like a tiger, can he fight or not, if he is so knowledgeable in politics, can he also be a great khan in the future?

Once the decision was made, Li Chongshan immediately arranged to start the operation, and the army all withdrew to the east, and the first beacon smoke of Yuncheng finally rose.

Tie Qinglin of Xuzhou and Liu Jiahao of Chenzhou immediately began to reorganize the army, but unfortunately Lin Jianyue's handwritten letter came immediately, demanding that their respective city defenses be immediately strengthened and that they must not go out of the city, especially Liu Jiahao's Chenzhou.

If Li Fei's cavalry comes back in time, Lin Jianyue may not be able to attack the whole army for a decisive battle, but there is no if in the world.

As long as Lin Jianyue is not in danger, Tie Liu and the others will naturally obey the military order.

Li Chongshan's army passed by the border of Chenzhou, saw that it was heavily guarded, and did not stop, and continued to move eastward, but unfortunately until it was about to enter the Huaidong of Maozhou, Liu Jiahao did not move, Lin Jianyue did not move, and even the Tieqing Forest of Xuzhou was so far away and did not move, Li Chongshan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, but Batusu was secretly happy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Lin Jianyue's courage is not as good as before. Xiaochen believes that Sun Zhengyi is a fake surrender, he could have defeated Hachi a long time ago and occupied the Central Plains south of the Yellow River, but until now, our army is still threatening him in the Central Plains, and Hachi's Kaifeng army is basically undamaged, in fact, this is his strategic defeat. As long as he starts to fail, failure will be a common thing in the future, which is actually a good thing for our Dameng. ”

Li Chongshan didn't understand that this was Batusu's words of comfort, before he came to the Central Plains, once Sun Zhengyi revealed his identity, was Hachi a fool? Won't he run? Maybe the army of Jingdong Road can be saved. Besides, if he was still in Hebei and was not contained in the Central Plains, would Liu Jingye have the courage to rebel?

Li Chongshan naturally won't say it, Batusu said those words best, this is also a good fig leaf, can maintain his authority to the greatest extent.

Li Chongshan is still sad in his heart, when does he Li Chongshan need to be like this? He is the supreme ruler of the Thousands of Miles Territory, the best heir of the Golden Family, and not the corrupt and depraved Ning Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, with the current situation, it will be a victory for us to bring the army back to Hebei in its entirety. Xiao Chen is confident that for a maximum of five years... No, in three years, we will return to the heyday, when the ministers accompanied His Majesty to conquer Lin Jianyue again, there could be no people like Liu Jingye and Sun Zhengyi, why could Lin Jianyue be so calm again, and he would definitely be able to occupy the Central Plains again. ”

Three years, five years? How strong was Lin Jianyue at that time? Li Chongshan didn't know the bottom in his heart, what he was most worried about was Lin Jianyue going south to unify Jiangnan, whether to retreat beyond the Great Wall or go all out to fight Lin Jianyue in the final battle?

Li Chongshan pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Even if we retreat to Hebei, the harassment of the Central Plains every year cannot be less, and it is best to drag Lin Jianyue back." There is also the pass of Taihang Mountain that must also be recaptured, and Marshal Ba is fully responsible for this matter. ”

Batusu was overjoyed, and from then on he was truly the first man in the army.

"Your Majesty, Hachi is respectful on the surface, but in fact, he has other thoughts in his heart, do you think you are taking the opportunity of Hahe's defeat........."

Li Chongshan had already made up his mind, shook his head and said: "I know what he wants to do, now that Guanzhong has been isolated, the Hetao behind it is very important, Hachi can still fight, doesn't he want to go back to the Hetao to establish a khanate?" Yes, but there is one condition, that is, after the Han Mansion Lin Jian'an is exterminated. Forget about Hedong, I'll take it myself, otherwise it will be too embarrassing for him, and his face won't look good! ”

Batusu showed admiration on his face, and then said: "It's okay for Hachi to return to Hetao, but the army can't be taken away by one person... Well, his brother Hahe could have taken him. ”

Li Chongshan smiled and patted Batusu on the shoulder and nodded.
