The ultimate goal of the Eastern Chagatai Khan was to annex the Western Regions, not to invade the Ming Dynasty. At first, the enemy army chose to take the initiative, but he was afraid that the Ming army would attack the Eastern Chagatai Khan. Now that the army is retreating, I am afraid that there is also an element of helplessness.

Li Quren was excited, and was the first to say: "Since the enemy has retreated, we just took advantage of the victory to pursue and catch him off guard!"

Zhang Fu shook his head: "Although the enemy is retreating, it is very likely that he is ready to deal with it. If they set up an ambush along the way, it will make us suffer ourselves!"

Chen Feng remained silent, now both voices were loud, almost half of them wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, half of them wanted to retreat.

Whether it is the martial arts army or the Ming army, everyone is not monolithic.

A person like Long Xiangtian, who bears a deep hatred, can't wait to slaughter the Reincarnation Gate and the Eastern Chagatai Khan. In the Ming army, there are also some radical and people who want to make military achievements, they all want to kill the enemy and add officials to the knighthood.

Half of this group were in the group, and the other half were conservative in their belief that retreat was the best option.

Everyone argued, Zhang Fu, the commander, can suppress the people of the army, but he can't say that he will use the martial arts army.

Taking advantage of everyone's discussion, Zhang Fu pulled Chen Feng aside.

"Chen's horse, the army has penetrated deep into the enemy country, which is definitely not a good thing. This time, we were originally trying to block the enemy's attack, and now we have to travel a long way to pursue it, and neither the logistics nor the state of the soldiers can meet the requirements. And there are too many variables in the pursuit of the enemy, so it is safer for us to retreat. ”

Chen Feng nodded in agreement: "What Lord Zhang said is very reasonable, but those who advocate pursuit may not be wrong. I've been wondering if there's a compromise. ”

"A compromise solution?" Zhang Fu heard a new opinion, so he was quite curious.

Chen Feng didn't say it explicitly, but pulled Zhang Fu back in front of everyone, and then said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, some of you advocate pursuit, and some of you want to retreat." Otherwise, some of us will chase after us, and the other part will stand by on standby, and everyone will say that is good?"

Everyone fell silent, and one of the generals who advocated retreat asked, "You told us to stay put, in case the pursuers are in danger, then do we save them or not?"

"Isn't it very simple, if you can save it, you can save it, if you can't save it, then give up, and you will have time to retreat!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

War is nothing more than two outcomes, either win and then lose. Let some people go after the enemy first, these people decide to pursue on their own, and they can't complain about others when they encounter danger. If the enemy is not ambushed and the situation is in your favor, then the standby army can join the pursuit.

It seems to be a cold-blooded proposal, but it is acceptable for people who are arguing on both sides.

Li Quren was the first to agree: "Chen Shaoxia is right, those who want to pursue will go after them, and those who stay will stay in place." I wonder if Chen Shaoxia wants to join the pursuing team, or stay here and wait?"

Chen Feng said without hesitation: "I should pursue it with everyone." ”

Of course, he wants to completely eliminate the reincarnation gate, and now that there are not many remnants of the reincarnation gate, it is the best time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. This time in pursuit, even if he couldn't defeat the enemy, Chen Feng thought that he could retreat with his whole body, but he couldn't take care of others when the time came.

Everyone agreed, and the next step was to quickly organize a team to pursue and standby.

The disciples of the Tianlong Sect, the Huashan Sect, the Emei Sect, the Kunlun Sect, the Kongtong Sect, the Cangyun Sect, the Tang Sect, and the Xuanyin Pavilion are all weak and need to rest. Even if they wanted to pursue, they could only stay and stand by. They are not slow to recover, and when the pursuing troops need it, it is estimated that they will also recover and can respond at any time.

The remaining major factions will definitely participate in the pursuit of the team, and the Ming army has also divided into 250,000 troops, Zhang Fu can not rest assured, and is ready to personally lead the army to command the pursuit.

Originally, the matter was settled, but when the army was ready to set off, an eight-hundred-mile urgent holy decree fell from the sky.

It was not ordinary people who came to deliver the message, but Huang Yan, the official of Dongchang Factory. The fact that he came in person shows the importance of this decree.

Zhang Fu hurriedly knelt down to listen to the order, and the people in the army all knelt together, only the people in the martial arts army did not kneel.

Huang Yan didn't care, he read the holy decree carefully, and there was a hint of banter in his tone.

The content of the decree is very simple, that is, the Eastern Chagatai Khan has signed a hundred-year peace agreement with the Ming court, allowing Zhang Fu to dismiss the troops of the various guards, leaving only the border army, and then returning to the dynasty with the remaining forbidden army divisions.

"When did it happen? we are still fighting on the front line, why did the imperial court sign a peace contract?" Chen Feng couldn't believe it.

Huang Yan rolled up the holy decree, and then handed it into Zhang Fu's hands, and then glanced at Chen Feng coldly: "This is the result of the emperor's discussion with the ministers, how can you be allowed to point fingers!"

The decree has been given, and no one can change it. Even if you want to change it, you have to go back to the capital and talk to the emperor!

Zhang Fu stood up tremblingly, he was also a little unwilling: "Huang Changgong, I don't know what conditions the Eastern Chagatai Khan has offered, why would the emperor agree?"

Huang Yan was still more respectful to Zhang Fu, and immediately replied: "The British don't know, and now I am fighting on three fronts in the Ming Dynasty, and the treasury is huge. The war in the north and southwest has basically come to an end, and the enemy has all been defeated, but only the war in the west is still far away, and the countries in the Western Regions are no more than other small countries, and peaceful coexistence is definitely the best choice. ”

"But what if the Eastern Chagatai Khan annexes other countries in the Western Regions, and then tears up the agreement and gathers millions of soldiers and horses to attack my Daming?" Zhang Fu said, his fists clenched tightly.

Huang Yan smiled and said: "The British are too worried, and the premise of the imperial court's promise to the peace agreement is that the Eastern Chagatai Khan cannot invade other countries. At that time, the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khan will strengthen their ties and send envoys to garrison them for a long time. If the Eastern Chagatai Khan invades other countries, the Ming Dynasty can lead the army to the west!"

"Since you will also lead the army to the west at that time, why not clear the hidden dangers now?" Zhang Fu still had difficulty understanding the decision of the imperial court.

Huang Yan's face began to deteriorate, and he said lightly: "British Duke, I already said it just now." The imperial court fought on multiple fronts, and now it is overwhelmed. The army is so tired on the front line, even if it can win the battle, what good will the result do to the imperial court? The army has suffered heavy casualties, the imperial court cannot make ends meet, and the people are full of complaints, which may cause a popular uprising!"

This is a bit heavy, but these are indeed considerations for the imperial court.

Huang Yan looked decadent, even if he returned to Beijing now, I am afraid that he would not be able to move the imperial court......
