063, the death of the poor (II)
Yu Xuan has the responsibility of supervising the country and defending the country, so he made a decision to retreat westward with the poor sons and the important weapons of the country before the Shaowu army has formed an encirclement of the national capital, so as not to let the heirs of the country fall into the hands of Shaowu. Although Shaowu has captured a large number of castles, those castles are all in the eastern border of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, and the Xiangmuro Kingdom still controls many castles in the western border.
Yu Xuan wanted to take the princes to flee to the rear north of the West Boundary Mountain, and chose a city as a temporary companion capital, gathering garrison forces for key defenses and preventing the Shaowu army from continuing to attack. Now that the situation in the eastern border of the Prime Minister's Country is collapsing, it is impossible to organize a counterattack in the short term.
Abandon the national capital and retreat westward, take advantage of the geographical advantage to gather the troops of the western cities, and stubbornly defend the passes, and it is possible to wait for a turnaround. Of course, Yu Xuan did not directly abandon the national capital, he also left all the military formations that could be gathered to defend the city, and he could hold it for as long as he could. Before he left the national capital, he sent an envoy to ask Zheng Muguo for help, and asked Chiwangqiu for help.
If the poor army can return to the division in time and attack the Shaowu army from the area of Longma City, then Yuxuan will also mobilize the reserve army of the country from the west to attack, which may also turn the situation around.
If Xiang Poor did not have time to return to the division, or when he returned to the division, Longma City had been captured by the Shaowu army, and Yu Xuan also made the final construction, Xiang Poor could lead the army to retreat from Wangqiu City to the southwest, pass through the southern foot of Meng Yingqiu and enter Zheng Muruguo, and then turn north from Zheng Muruguo, cross the West Boundary Mountain and join Yuxuan, and sit in the capital to command the counterattack.
Yu Xuan sat in the capital of the country and couldn't stop the army of young affairs, and he had no choice. But this person still understands the shape very clearly, and the choice he makes is also the most appropriate in desperation. After being defeated in the decisive battle outside the national capital, this soldier knew that the lord was afraid that he would not be able to come back, but he still tried his best to give two Jianyi.
The first article is to let Xiang Poor return to Longma City, and fight Shaowu with Yu Xuan in the western border of Xiangmuro Country. But he also knew that this plan was almost impossible to achieve, and the poor army would not have time to rush back, and after the capture of the national capital. The next step will inevitably be to capture Ryoma City, and then the entire army of the poor will be shut down and beaten by dogs.
Ryoma Castle is the most important hyogo of the Aimuro Kingdom, and its defense lines are built on the border with the Bamuro Kingdom, facing the direction of the Somuro Kunitsu. Before Xiang Poor sent out his troops, I probably didn't expect that something would happen to Ryoma City or the country, and it was General Gongshan Xu who stayed in the camp in Ryoma City.
When Yuxuan fought a decisive battle with Shaowu, several elite military formations under the command of Gongshan Xu were transferred nearby, and now Gongshan Xuan may not be able to stop the Shaowu army that is killing from behind in Longma City.
Therefore, Yu Xuan gave the lord another last resort, and when he retreated, Meng Yingqiu walked south and passed through the territory of the allied Zheng Muguo. Take a detour back to the western border of the phase room. However, I am afraid that this construction will not work, because if the poor army wants to reach the border, it will have to capture two more cities, and the army gathered on the border has not moved.
Although Xiang Poor captured a large area of the city some time ago, he was unable to obtain sufficient military supplies on the spot, and now that the back road has been cut off, can he continue to attack the city and conquer the territory?
In exceptional circumstances. There are always special talents, and this is not talking about Yuxuan, but the messenger of the news. In the era when there was no written word, it was not as difficult to convey complex information as later generations thought. There is always a corresponding talent, and there is such a person who has an excellent memory and can relate what happened exactly what happened.
Of course, this envoy arrived at Yeliang City first, and Yue Xuan, the general of Zhenguo, was also panicked when he heard the news. Hurriedly ordered him to continue to rush to the front line, report the latest battle report, and ask for instructions on how to make a decision? The envoy first told him about the burning of military rations he encountered on the way, and then relayed the military situation reported by Yu Xuan.
Xiang Poor held the hilt of his sword, and his knuckles were white. His chest was rising and falling violently, his whole body was trembling, and he kept persuading himself in his heart - to calm down, to calm down, not to have seizures, to understand the whole situation. But before he could finish hearing this, he fainted with blood from his mouth, and broke his sword with the hilt in his hand and the blade still in its sheath.
The generals hurriedly called the army to work together to treat the poor, and several monks took turns to cast spells, but their expressions were a little desperate, and they felt that it would be difficult for the lord to save him.
Although the people around him have been persuading him to suppress his feelings and avoid impulsiveness, how can he endure it today?
The general guarding him asked in a trembling voice, "Lord, you have finally woken up, the army is still waiting for your order, what should we do?"
Xiang Poor's consciousness was not very clear, as if he hadn't heard others speak, the corners of his mouth were crooked, struggling and muttering: "Zheng Stock, Zheng Stock, you won't end well!"
Someone else asked, "What are you talking about, my lord?"
Xiang Poor's words became clearer and clearer, but he still seemed to be saying to himself: "I have a wish to unify Bayuan, and what Shao Wu will do in the future can be regarded as inheriting my legacy." ”
All the generals were a little dumbfounded, what kind of nonsense is this, the young man inherits the will of the poor? One person asked: "Lord, now that your body needs to be recuperated, and you are not suitable for fierce battle, do we need to withdraw our troops?"
Xiang Qian seemed to be more sober, and when he heard this, he reluctantly twisted his neck and said, "The affairs of the army are decided by Yue Xuan." "At this time, there must be a person who can replace Xiang Poor to preside over the overall situation, and Xiang Poor can only let Yue Xuan, the general of Zhenguo who guards Yeliang City, command the army, and the implication is that Yue Xuan has the final say on whether to withdraw the army or not.
Another person cautiously asked, "My lord, among all the princes, who do you think is the most outstanding and the most trusted by you?" This sentence was asked very implicitly and sensitively, but he had to ask. Although he has more than a dozen sons, he has not decided who will succeed him in the future, and now he must ask clearly.
Xiang Poor's gaze became more and more blurred, and the luster in his eyes was also dissipating, and he didn't know where he was looking, and muttered to himself: "The one who destroys Zheng Gu, the worship of the Lord Ba country!"
What kind of explanation is this? It seems that Xiang Poor's sanity is indeed abnormal, and his subordinates asked who should be appointed to succeed him, but he gave such an answer. "Xiangmuro Country" is just a name for distinguishing between clans, and like the other four countries in Ba Yuan, they all call themselves Ba Guo, and the person who worships the main country means to serve as the monarch! How can it be related to the destruction of Zheng Shares?
The man asked, "Does the sovereign mean that any of the princes can destroy Zheng Gu in the future and succeed to the throne?" But the kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, in case the sovereign you can't continue to look at things, and you can't wait until ......?"
Xiang died poorly and died so suddenly, which was unexpected by many people. But not everyone didn't expect that Meng Yingqiu's sect master had said that poverty is the appearance of violent death. This master had seen Xiang Qian himself, and he may have secretly investigated his vitality and spirit, knowing that there were some hidden diseases in his body and under what circumstances they would suddenly attack.
And the words that Xiang Poor said before he died made people extremely puzzled and puzzled. But whether you understand it or not, these words are the will of the monarch, who wants to inherit the poor political legacy, they must try their best to implement it, but it can't be implemented!
Xiang Poor said that Shao Wu would inherit his legacy, but did he let Shao Wu succeed to the throne of the Prime Minister's Country? This is absolutely impossible! And Xiang Qian did not explicitly say so. "Those who destroy Zheng stock are the worship of the lord of the country. It should be the only clear sentence of the last sentence that Xiang Poor said, but it is no less incomprehensible.
Whoever destroys Zheng Gu will become the new monarch of the Xiangmuro State to succeed to the throne? The meaning is very clear, but this is not a joke! Even if it is the princes of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, someone may lead the army to destroy Zheng Gu in the future, but before that, will a new monarch not be established? Moreover, Zheng Muguo is currently an ally with the Xiangmuro State, so how can Xiang Poor say such a thing?
In the worse case, if Shaowu or some other person destroyed Zheng Stock, would he have to be honored as the king? Or should he be found to serve as the priest of the priesthood, which had always been held only by the monarch himself?
Later, some high-ranking people speculated that the words that Xiang Poor said before his death may not be a life but a prophecy. At that time, Xiang Qian seemed to be delirious, but at the moment of death, Yuan Shen had a moment of sobriety, and he had already made a judgment on Ba Yuan's future form. He believes that after his death, the princes of the Xiangmuro Kingdom are not Shaowu's opponents at all, and the Xiangmuro Kingdom will not be able to hold it, and sooner or later it will be annexed by Shaowu.
And after Shao Wu destroyed the Xiangmuro Kingdom, Zheng Gu would not have a good end! Xiang Poor not only judged in this way, but also hoped for it.
Xiang Poor may not hate Shaowu, but when he was dying, he hated Zheng Quan deeply. Of course, he has no reason to hate Shaowu, Shaowu has never provoked the Prime Minister Country, it was he who saw the opportunity to lead the army to take the initiative to enter the Bamuro Country, even if he was defeated and defeated, he couldn't complain about anyone. But Zheng Gu is different, why does Xiang Poor hate him, all kinds of people can make different guesses.
......
Before Xiang was poor and died, on another front in the distance, why did Yu Xuan not close the four gates and defend the national capital like Beroe, but fought a decisive battle with Shaowu on the plain? Because his situation was different, and his judgment of the battle situation was also different, he could only make such a choice. (To be continued......)
