What does the enemy want you to do? What can't you do? Because that's what the enemy wants.

Although Xie Yan felt that something was wrong early on, he still had a fluke mentality, and by the time he reacted, it was too late.

Shi Yue successfully mobilized all the troops in the jurisdiction, and attacked with all his might when Xie Yan's army crossed the Yellow River, beheading nearly 7,000 in a battle, and the elite Beifu Army has been defeated in more than 20 battles since its formation, but today, this record was finally destroyed in Xie Yan's hands.

Although the panicked Xie Yan tried to rectify the remnants, but for this reason, he had already made great strides and retreated for hundreds of miles, and Shi Yue, who had been deployed for nearly a month, how could he give him a chance, and the ambushes that had already been arranged came out one after another, even though the will of the Beifu army was strong enough and the soldiers were desperate enough, but no one could stand the wave that had just been repelled and the waves that came up again, and so on, and finally in the end, the Beifu army, which was known for its tenacity and tenacity, finally collapsed.

Xie Xuan still broke out of the encirclement due to the desperate protection of the Xie family's dead soldiers, but the battle situation on the entire Eastern Front was completely erosive.

The battle was won, and the Qin army on the entire eastern front was like a rainbow, and Shi Yue personally led the army to kill the Yellow River, just in time to meet Xie Xuan's army that rushed north to help.

Although Xie Xuan reacted in time and made the correct deployment, the momentum of the two sides has changed, coupled with the Qin army's many cavalry, and the geographical advantage, the two sides fought a bloody battle for three days, although Xie Xuan led his troops to resist desperately, but after all, he could not stop the Qin army that had been killed, and was forced to retreat.

At this time, even more terrible news came, a strange army of Shi Yue suddenly appeared at Fangtou, and Xie Xuan, who was taken aback, was afraid that the rear road would be cut off and the whole army would be annihilated, so he had to retreat with all his strength, and the offensive on the eastern front collapsed.

In fact, at a military meeting before the retreat, Xie Xuan and Xie Yan also had a huge quarrel, and then there was a horrific brawl, and the cause of the incident was that Xie Yan, who was rescued by someone and was embarrassed, resolutely opposed the withdrawal of the army, but advocated the reorganization of the army on the spot and a decisive battle with Shi Yue.

His reason is that there are still more than 50,000 elites in Beifu now, as long as they are rectified, they are fully capable of fighting with Shi Yue, and as long as this battle is won, they have every chance to regain the strategic initiative.

What's more, now they don't know the situation of the other two fronts, according to the information they got before, the other two lines are now victorious, if the eastern front withdraws at this time because of a temporary setback, wouldn't it be a betrayal of the other two roads, so where to put the Northern Expedition plan, is it possible that the major event of recovering rivers and mountains, which only has a chance once in decades, will be cut off like this? Do you have to back down at the slightest setback?

Xie Yan's generous statement made all the generals look at each other, and they were a little confused, is this still the Xie Yan who has a very good reputation in the army?

Although Xie Yan said that he was vibrating, but in fact, how could Xie Xuan not understand the little Jiujiu in his heart.

If the army is withdrawn and returned according to Xie Xuan's intentions, it can be regarded as a failure, and the military law stipulates that if it fails, it is necessary to be held responsible, and there is no doubt that the biggest responsibility for this failure lies with Xie Yan.

There are military orders in advance, there are persuasions in the matter, everything is evidenced by words, as long as he returns to Jiankang, Xie Yan will not be able to escape, and Xie Xuan has always been impartial, and the relationship with Xie Yan is not very good, plus it is a matter of national affairs, he will definitely not excuse Xie Yan, and although Xie An favors Xie Yan, but the evidence is ironclad, plus Xie An's status and prestige are there, I am afraid that not only will he not spare Xie Yan, but he may also be punished?

Because, now Xie Xuan looked at Xie Yan's vigorous words, looked at Xie Yan's righteousness, and felt sick for a while, if it wasn't for your greed for merit, how could you be today, and now you still dare to speak out, the Beifu Army is so blushing, do you have to be because you are all defeated this time?

Xie Xuan, who couldn't bear it anymore, didn't say much, clenched his fists and ran towards Xie Yan's chattering mouth, unguarded, Xie Yan, who had suffered a loss, never thought that Xie Xuan would dare to hit him, so he naturally fought back immediately, and the other generals who participated in the military meeting in the tent looked at each other, they never thought that the two bigwig-level characters were actually like people on the street, regardless of their image.

By the time the people who reacted pulled the two apart, both sides had already had blue noses and swollen faces, but because it was Xie Xuan's hand that made the first move, and Xie Xuan's heart was full of resentment, he shot ruthlessly and heavily, and overall Xie Yan suffered a big loss.

Xie Xuan, who won the fight, also immediately announced that he would withdraw his troops and return to the south, and he was beaten up, Xie Yan, who was almost broken, has always been very concerned about his appearance, because Xie Yan is famous in Jiangnan in addition to his family background depends on his appearance, he is very angry about almost breaking his appearance, in addition to secretly hating Xie Xuan in his heart, he is also busy going to the military doctor to treat the wound, in case there is a scar, it is not cost-effective, as for any military affairs, just get out of the fuck first!

And since Xie Yan was gone, Xie Xuan had the final say on everything, and he immediately ordered to immediately withdraw the camp and retreat, so the vigorous Eastern Route Army stopped advancing.

But retreat is by no means as simple as imagined, to some extent, it is more difficult than marching and fighting, because in the case of retreat, the morale of the army will definitely be affected, and the enemy army will never let you run back easily, and it is strange not to beat the water dogs.

Because of this, a retreat often becomes a rout, and a rout often turns into the annihilation of the entire army.

The main reason why Xie Xuan advocated the withdrawal of the army was that he wanted to preserve as much of the vitality of the Beifu Army as possible at a time when the overall situation was already unfavorable, because he had a hunch that Shi Yue was far more prepared than him, and if he forced it to fight again, it was likely that these tens of thousands of people would not be able to bring it back, and this loss was unbearable in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and in fact, Xie Xuan did not think that this battle could completely defeat the Qin State at the beginning, but there was no way, after the battle of Weishui, the whole country had fallen into a frenzy, and he would naturally have others to bring him if he did not lead the troops. And Xie Xuan is confident that if someone else leads the Northern Expedition, the consequences will be even more terrible.

At this time, I can see Xie Xuan's ability. Although it was a retreat, Xie Xuan was well-planned and organized, and he made preparations in advance for Shi Yue's possible means, Shi Yue personally led his troops to pursue several times, but Xie Xuan coped with it properly, so that Shi Yue could not take advantage.

Silently looking at the Beifu army that had gone all the way south, even Shi Yue couldn't help but sigh secretly: The sharpness of the Beifu army really deserves its reputation, even if it has suffered the upper hand, it still retains its main strength, and Xie Xuan is a general who has been rare for decades, if it weren't for his careful deployment, coupled with Xie Yan's greed for merit and falling into the trap, would he be able to jump into his own encirclement in the end, or is it undecided?

This battle decisively changed the entire strategic situation. Although Shi Yue still hasn't gotten accurate news, but before he left, Fu Hong personally found him and talked with him all night, and now, Shi Yue fulfilled his promise to His Royal Highness the Prince, and now it's up to the Prince, but he believes that the Prince will definitely be able to reverse the situation on the Western Front.

Now, the more dangerous is the middle of the Liu Gaozhi Division, originally the three armies are close together, because both wings can break through quickly, the pressure on the middle is actually relatively small, plus Liu Yu and Liu Gaozhi are in the middle of the river, the land of Heluo in the middle is also suitable for the Beifu army's combat mode, so it is progressing smoothly, and now it has crossed the Yellow River.

But the bad news has always arrived together, when Liu Gaozhi learned that the east and west fronts were in trouble at the same time, Murong Hong on the west road had been defeated and withdrawn from the pass, Murong Chong was fighting hard in Hedong, and the Huan Chong department that hit Lantian had been blocked, he was not too worried.

However, the Eastern Route Army was also defeated and retreated, and now Shouyang has sent troops to meet the retreat, and this news has given Liu Gaozhi a headache.

In fact, Liu Gaozhi is also the Beifu system, this time he can be given one-third of the Beifu army to let him be the commander alone, Liu Gaozhi is very grateful, whether emotionally or in fact, he is firmly on the side of the Xie family's faction, and in the past 30 years, Jingzhou and Jiankang have always been a bit of open and secret fighting, and not very harmonious, and now although they are temporarily united because of the relationship of the Northern Expedition, everyone feels that sooner or later they will still turn their faces.

Moreover, Liu Gaozhi really fought from the battlefield and got up step by step, and he was very dismissive of the Huan family, so if the Western Front failed, it failed, and Liu Gaozhi didn't think it was so great.

But even Xie Xuan of the East Road failed, and now he will immediately become a lone army in the middle of the road, but he has just crossed the Yellow River with high momentum, and now he wants to withdraw his troops, which is both difficult and unwilling, how can this be good.

Liu Gaozhi is still pacing in the tent? Liu Yu rushed in at this time, and the process of connecting the name was saved, and Liu Gaozhi was a little surprised. Although he doesn't like red tape and thinks that his brother can order casually, Liu Yu has always been very polite and never dares to have the slightest disrespect, what happened this time?

"Dashuai!" Liu Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Dashuai, something is wrong!" ”

Seeing that Liu Yu, who had always been calm, Liu Yu was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "Deyu, don't panic, if you have something to say, speak slowly, come, drink saliva first!" ”

"Dashuai, I can't take care of it!" Liu Yu wiped the sweat on his forehead: "The lowly party personally went north to investigate and arrested a few scouts, but two people committed suicide immediately, and the lowly government couldn't react in time and couldn't save them, but these two people have problems!" ”

"What a question!"

"They are Xianbei people, and they have tattoos on their chests and broken hair lines on their heads, they should be the descendants of the Murong family!" Liu Yu said firmly.

Liu Gaozhi was immediately stunned.

After more than 20 years in the army, it should be said that Liu Gaozhi is already a person who is used to seeing big scenes, so he will not be so out of shape, but? The news brought by Liu Yu was really serious, because if those people were scouts of the Murong family, they would have only one meaning: Murong was here.
