Chapter 308: Evil Retribution (II)
"Great Khan!"
This decision was like a thunderbolt that pierced the tent, instantly leaving everyone in the audience dizzy and stunned.
The thousands of households present all opened their mouths in disbelief.
I can't believe that this wise and powerful Great Khan would make such a decision.
What is the difference between escaping from the battlefield and showing weakness to the Han people? The invincible army that crisscrosses the steppe has reached the point where it must retreat?
The person who reacted first hurriedly shouted: "Great Khan! What's wrong with you, the Yizhou of the Han people has been attacked by me, if we evacuate at this time, the Han army will definitely take advantage of the situation to recover these lands, and even the Youzhou of the Han people may not be able to keep it, won't we all give up all our efforts?"
"Yes, Great Khan, half of Yizhou is in our hands, and we are about to fight, why do we have to evacuate at this time, even if we don't fight, it's not too late to stop fighting after we have defeated Yizhou. ”
"Great Khan, isn't this a sign of weakness to the Han people?"
The people around him were all talking about it.
Unlike the strict monarchy of the Central Plains, the people of the Khanate still did not have this deep-rooted habit, and their surnames were rough and did not take much care of some things.
Although they are afraid of the majesty of the Great Khan, when they speak, they will also say what they want, but they will not be valued.
At this time, a hundred households held a knife and shouted: "In front of the Great Khan, Hugh is so noisy!"
There was no sound, and the excited people slowly quieted down, and all the generals looked at the main seat, waiting for the words of the Great Khan.
"Now is not the time to attack Yizhou, Wu'er Huerbo died in battle, which led to the collapse of Bingzhou, and now the two states of Yizhou are connected, and the 100,000 Dacheng army is connected together, fighting against the Khanate together, this is not enough, but the grassland may still provide supplies to my army?" Looking around, Da Khan said coldly.
Yes, the grassland can no longer provide supplies, the grassland is in civil strife at this time, and Youzhou was unscrupulous at that time, half of the Han people died, thirty percent of them fled, and two percent were scattered, but they could not provide supplies.
The generals, who were still thinking of persuading the Great Khan to give up this decision, all looked at each other and said no more.
Everyone thought to themselves, Balu returned to the grassland, but he really didn't care about the overall situation, if he didn't lead people to withdraw to the grassland to seize power, why would everyone be so embarrassed?
"This matter is decided, you go and gather your own people quickly, and leave here before dark!" Taking a deep breath, Da Khan said lightly: "Yizhou can't take it, according to the checkpoint, Youzhou can still be taken, Youzhou is not far from the grassland, you can take care of it." ”
"Leaving 30,000 people in Youzhou, all the Han annexed troops withdrew into Youzhou, and I led the army back to the grassland, I want to see if Balu can compete with me for the Han position?" Although the voice of the Great Khan was not loud, this kind of pressing majesty shocked the hearts of the people present, and they didn't dare to say more.
"Yes!" the generals knew that things could not be reversed, so they had to go out to prepare for the evacuation with their own thoughts.
Looking at the people gathered in the tent, gradually dispersed, and the sweat that was still holding on suddenly fell, and the whole person showed an old state.
In front of the generals, the Great Khan had the wisdom and toughness of a Great Khan.
However, in the aftermath, the pain of losing a son and the betrayal of the eldest son still strikes from time to time, and the whole person seems to be cooking on the fire.
"Great Khan, your body is ......" There are a few people who have served him, all of whom have been with him for many years, and at this time they stepped forward to help, wanting to speak and stopping, trying to persuade but not daring.
With their status and status, they dare not intervene in this matter at will.
The Great Khan saw what they wanted to say, but at this time he didn't want to listen to anything, the matter had come to this point, and no matter how much comforting words he heard, what effect could it have?
Waving his hand, he gasped and said, "You don't need to worry, I'm just a little weak." Let you boil the medicinal soup, where is it? Serve me to drink it. ”
As he spoke, he struggled and wanted to stand up, but his body trembled slightly, and his legs were a little weak, but he couldn't move around at will.
"Great Khan, you just woke up, and you have a lot of discussions, so let's rest for a while. Someone helped him to sit on the soft collapse again, and hurriedly sent someone to fetch it.
The Great Khan sighed, knowing that he was not reckless, and leaned back to sit.
Knowing that the Great Khan would never fall down at that time, he was very fast, and he quickly came with the medicinal soup he had prescribed, and carefully served him to drink it.
The medicinal soup is very effective, as soon as it enters the stomach, it doesn't take much time for it to work, and the five internal organs slowly spread a warmth, and the tiredness and coldness in the body are gradually dispelled.
After closing his eyes for a while, the sweat breathed a sigh of relief, and his face showed a hint of ruddy color again.
"The medicine offered by the shaman has some effect. Feeling the changes in his body, the Great Khan said.
The medicine I took was prescribed by the shaman of the Central Plains, and I had seen it a few times before, and I knew that these Han shamans still had some skills, but they had not paid attention to it before.
It works at such a time, and I really have to pay attention to it in the future, but it's a pity that I heard that Deyang Zhenren has also had some illnesses recently, and his health is not very good.
At this time, he can't fall down, and in order to keep the foundation from being bad, he has to persist for a few years before he succeeds.
Thinking of this, the Great Khan ordered: "Reward Deyang real people with a thousand taels of gold." ”
There was no shortage of gold, plundered several states of gold and silver, filled warehouses, and the Great Khan did not attach much importance to this.
It's just that this time the withdrawal of troops from Yizhou is really a helpless move.
The withdrawal from Yizhou, the area that the Khanate could have in the Central Plains, there was only one Youzhou, and the loss of the two Yizhou not only brought heavy losses to the Khanate, but also led to a significant reduction in various materials in the future.
However, no matter how big the loss is, it is better than causing chaos in the grassland. The grassland is a foundation that must not be lost, and in the case of one of the two, a large number of troops must be withdrawn.
The Great Khan's order was still carried out, and that night, there were continuous torches inside and outside the camp, and both the Han army and the Hu people were mobilized in an orderly manner.
In just one night, a cart of plundered wealth, cattle and sheep were all prepared, and the next time, the flag was raised and retreated, and it was not a tricky retreat.
"The Hu people have evacuated?"
The news of the Hu people's withdrawal soon spread, and Fan Liuhai was still a little surprised when he heard the information.
According to Fan Liuhai's judgment, although he and Wu Xingzong were connected together, which played a deterrent role against the Hu people's army, but the strength of the Hu people was actually sufficient, and the main force was not damaged.
No, the Hu people evacuated so quickly and comprehensively, it seems that they don't even want Yizhou, which is an unexpected surprise.
"General, the Hu army has indeed withdrawn, and it still takes those Han rebels with it. The person in front of Fan Liuhai replied respectfully: "Although the lost counties and counties have been plundered, there are indeed no Hu people. ”
Fan Liuhai asked about the situation, stood up, and smiled: "No matter what, Hu Ren has really retreated, this is good news......!"
This general, who has rich experience in dealing with the enemy, quickly smiled and said to himself: "The counties and counties left by Yizhou must be recovered, but the Hu people have always been cunning, and they should not be taken lightly during this time. ”
"Is the general saying that it is possible that the Hu people are pretending to evacuate and then carry out a surprise attack?" a general of Fan Liuhai asked with a frown when he heard this.
"Who can tell clearly whether it is true or false, false and false, and if it is not well defended and taken lightly, the false will become true. Fan Liuhai said.
"The Admiral understands!"
"If you understand, you can't do it, give me the order, and say that in half an hour, you will discuss the matter in the council chamber. Fan Liuhai commanded, such a thing needs to be understood by all the generals.
After his subordinates went down to make arrangements, Fan Liuhai sat in the study and said to himself: "...... And this matter must be passed on to His Majesty in Luoyang as soon as possible. ”
Luoyang Imperial Palace With this period of time, this imperial palace has gradually been enriched, and the solemn and guarded atmosphere has permeated the sky.
The official in charge of intelligence gathering entered the main gate, led by the guards, and headed towards the residence of Emperor Dacheng.
In the study, a group of eunuchs waited, all of them standing upright, and did not speak.
The guards outside were also standing upright.
"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Division Thousand Households Chen Henian asks to see you. A moment later, one of the guards spoke.
"Let him in. ”
"No. ”
"Minister, the thirteenth division of the thousand households Chen Henian, I have seen Your Majesty. Chen Henian, the Thirteenth Division, walked in and knelt down in front of Wang Hongyi and saluted.
"Get up!" Wang Hongyi held the tube to write, and said without raising his head: "I'll talk to you after I'm done." ”
Chen Henian had to stand with his hands down, a little emotional.
At this time, because it was the Dacheng Emperor, the pattern has not changed, but with the rules, manpower, and a series of changes, it is still slowly moving closer to the imperial palace, and such subtle changes naturally bring out a different feeling.
I don't know how many times Chen Henian has been here, and if you feel it carefully, you can feel the changes again and again.
From the east corridor here, bright and yellow heavy curtains, all the heavy doors are standing guards, at this time in the study, there are eight eunuchs, all standing with their hands down, not daring to move.
This kind of imperial rule, Chen Henian only heard the rustling of paper, and when he looked at it, he saw that Wang Hongyi had finished approving an excerpt, although he was the king of a country, he had never slackened off in these, and he insisted on it seriously.
Wang Hongyi often saw Chen Henian, and said casually: "Get up, tell me what the news is this time?"
"Your Majesty, this time it is a military report sent from Yizhou, please read it for Your Majesty. Chen Henian said, sent the information in his hand, and someone took it and handed it over to Wang Hongyi.
Unfolded a look, Wang Hongyi was first happy, and then thoughtful, pacing down, a gust of wind swept under the eaves, looking at the sky outside, there was language for a while.
The Hu people withdrew their troops from Yizhou and Yizhou recovered, such news is definitely good news for the Dacheng Dynasty, but in terms of the overall situation, Wang Hongyi did not have the idea of pursuing the victory.
In the history of the three kingdoms of China, the Yuan brothers were defeated and fled, Guo Jia said: "Our army is attacking urgently, the two will support each other, if the attack is delayed, they will fight for power and profit, and when they consume each other, they will be exhausted and then attack in one fell swoop." ”
A fight soon broke out between the Yuan brothers, Yuan Tan was killed, and Yuan Shang also lost his strength.
Now the main force of the Hu people is still there, if they enter Youzhou, they are only afraid of the unity of the grassland, and if they don't attack, they can sit and watch the grassland fight.
And during this period of time, not only can you cultivate vitality, but also the Hu people will not have the strength to take care of the Han people in a short period of time, and the biggest trouble of the Dacheng Dynasty is the Qin land.
Wang Hongyi's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he muttered for a long time: "If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, and pass on my will, and the officials above the fifth grade in Luoyang City will discuss in the hall after half an hour." ”
