", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Chapter 10 Wind and rain The fourteenth section Tuoba Curtain and Xu Kui demanded to immediately retreat to the Yinshan area, and quickly returned to Wuyuan when the Han army did not conquer the Yinshan Pass and cut off the retreat of the army.

Tuoba Wei said, no matter what, we must control Yinshan in our hands to ensure that the army can advance and retreat freely, otherwise we will be exhausted and dead.

After receiving the news that the Marquis of Xubu Gudu wanted him to return urgently, he immediately ordered his 30,000 iron horsemen to assemble out of the city, preparing to cross the barren water overnight and withdraw to Wuyuan County.

Bai Ma Tong said angrily, your hasty withdrawal of the army will definitely shake the hearts of the army, if the soldiers know that Jiuyuan City has fallen, and all the tribes have been captured by the Han army, do you know what the consequences are?

They would flee back to Wuyuan County in a hurry to surrender to the Han Chinese, for whom their own clan and relatives were far more important than Shan Yuting.

Xu Bu Qiyang said, the Han people wantonly slaughtered our people in the Jiuyuan area, whether it is in the court, the tribe, or the relatives of the soldiers, they have long since died, what can we do but take revenge?

No one will surrender.

"You know what?" White Horse Copper scolded angrily,

"Yu Fuluo, Liu Bao, and Qubei, they all led their armies to follow the Han army to fight, how could they watch the Han people slaughter their own people? In order to capture Jiuyuan, of course, the Han army had to kill on a large scale, but once Jiuyuan City was taken by the Han people, they had no reason to continue to massacre unarmed old and young women and children. If they insist on killing, they will definitely anger Fu Luo, Liu Bao and the leaders of the various tribes, what good will this do to the Han people? The goal of the Han Chinese is to recover the border counties, not to slaughter us, you know? If a tribal leader is willing to lead his troops to surrender, the Han Chinese and Yuvro will not only raise their hands to welcome them, but also forgive their sins. So that there will be more people who surrender and run away, and how many people will we have left in the end? How can this battle be fought? I'm afraid we won't even be able to get past Yin Mountain. ”

"Let's not say it, who knows that Jiuyuan City has fallen and Wuyuan County has been lost." Su Bu Qiyang said very angrily,

"If we don't retreat as soon as possible, we will soon be surrounded by the Han Chinese, and everyone will die without a place to bury."

"If we don't say it, won't they know?" The white horse copper sneered,

"Once the morale of the army is lost, we will die, and no one will survive." He looked at the crowd murderously and said word by word: "Don't withdraw for the time being." We now have the opportunity to beat the leopard and we can't miss it. Tuoba and Xu Kui looked at each other, with a mocking look in their eyes.

Subu Qiyang asked in surprise, "Defeat the leopard?" Can we still beat the leopard in this case? ”

"Yes. If we can defeat the leopard in the clouds, the Han people's strategy of encirclement will fail. Bai Ma Tong pointed to the map and said,

"You see, after the Han people cross the river, they can quickly go north to attack the Yinshan Pass. It is only more than 100 miles from Jiuyuan to Yinshan, and the Han army must have begun to attack Gaoque and Weique, and even if we rush back day and night, we will not be able to rush to Gaoque to meet Dadanyu in front of the Han people. When we rushed to the Daqingshan area exhausted, we would inevitably be blocked by the Han Chinese. Xu Rong and the leopards that came later flanked us and surrounded us at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain. ”

"In order to quickly seize Jiuyuan and Yinshan Pass, and complete the encirclement of us, the number of troops crossing the river to the north must be very large, I estimate that the four armies of Xu Rong, Liyi, Yang Feng and Zhao Yun who were originally assembled in the Liao River will go north, plus Yu Fuluo, Liu Bao and the iron cavalry of Qubei, the number of troops crossing the north is about more than 100,000."

"It's been four days since Jiuyuan City was lost, and if we retreat quickly, it will take three days to reach Daqing Mountain at the earliest. The Han Chinese could cross the river at least 70,000 in seven days. These 70,000 Han people who are waiting for work at ease can completely stop our 100,000 tired troops under the Daqing Mountain. Bai Ma Tong looked at everyone, frowned and asked,

"Which of you has the ability to defeat these Han troops, break through the encirclement, and successfully reach the Yinshan Pass?"

"You mean we currently have a military advantage on the battlefield in the clouds?" Tuoba asked suspiciously,

"Can you be sure that the four armies of Xu Rong, Lu Yi, Yang Feng and Zhao Yun will cross the river and go north?"

"We've been fighting the leopards for a month, can you see the army of these four?" Bai Ma Tong looked at Xu Kui and asked,

"You've been playing against Xu Rong on the right side, but every time you send troops to attack you, it's jade, have you seen Yang Feng and Zhao Yun? Have you fought with them other than seeing their banners? They didn't cross the river at Jiling City at all, it was all a trick of the Han people, and their purpose was to lure the forces of Wuyuan County into the clouds so that they could raid Jiuyuan City. Xu Kui shook his head with a wry smile and said, "We always thought that Xu Rong was preparing to go, who knows ......"

"Now that the Han people have succeeded in their surprise attack, we have basically been surrounded, and retreating is a dead end, and the only way to break through the Han people's encirclement and turn defeat into victory is to defeat the leopard." White Horse Bronze smashed his fist on the map and said loudly,

"The leopards have come all the way, and not only have they suffered heavy losses, but the soldiers have become extremely tired. Judging from the battle of Baiqushui, he currently only has several armies under his command: Yushi, Yan Rou, Yan Liang, Lou Lu, Zhang He and Pang De, and the strength will not exceed 80,000 troops, and half of them are foot soldiers, so we are completely sure to defeat him. Xu Kui stared at Bai Ma Tong with a pair of frightened eyes, thinking that he was a madman at all.

"You...... You say you can beat the leopard? Tuoba Wei bowed his head in frustration and said, "I'd rather fight against Xu Rong Liyi than against the leopard." You must know that the leopard has never been defeated in the past few years, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to defeat him. He only needs 10,000 people to be invincible in the world, not to mention that he has 80,000 now. Let's withdraw. We have 100,000 iron cavalry, can't we break through the resistance of tens of thousands of Han Chinese troops? Xu Bu Qiyang whispered and persuaded: "Withdraw, let's withdraw." Now it seems that we have a hard time holding out into the rainy season. After withdrawing from Yin Mountain, we still have a chance to breathe, and there is still the possibility of a comeback. Bai Ma Tong pointed at the three of them and said angrily: "The leopard is now scarred and exhausted, as long as they reach the city in the clouds, we can take advantage of the fortification of the city in the clouds and the narrow terrain between the two rivers to fight a decisive battle with him." At this time, the Han people have no reinforcements, and we will be able to win a great victory. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have a chance to turn over. Xu Kui sneered: "Even if we win this battle as you wish, how many of us can be left?" What are we going to do to beat Xu Rong? ”

"After winning this battle, Xu Rong will lose the support of the flank, and he will fall into our encirclement and flanking attack if he goes deep alone, and the news of the leopard's defeat will also shake the morale of the Han army, can the Han people continue to hold on to Jiuyuan? After the rainy season came, the water of the Yellow River swelled, and the transportation of grain and grass for the Han army became a big problem. Once the grain and grass are gone, what will Xu Rong do? "The white horse brass eyebrows are upside down, and he is furious,

"As long as we defeat the leopard, Xu Rong will definitely withdraw his troops, you can't see such a simple thing?"

"Our people are all done, what will we do in the future? If the leopards attack the outside of the fortress again, what will we do? Xu Bu Qiyang said excitedly,

"Do you want us to exterminate the race?"

"The leopard was defeated, how could the emperor of the Han people spare him? He's dead. Bai Ma Tong waved his hand and said,

"This time, the emperor of the Han people poured all his national strength and mobilized 200,000 troops to attack the outside of the Saiwai, if this battle is defeated, where will the Han people continue to send troops to fight? Without ten or twenty years, the Han people did not want to recover. Ten years from now, twenty years from now, what will happen to us? At that time, we had already fought the Great Wall and occupied the northern frontier, where would we stay here? ”

"What if we defeat it?" Tuoba said,

"Why do you say we can defeat the leopard? Do we have several times the strength of the leopard? Do we have a winning strategy? Now Jiuyuan City has been lost, the cities of Wuyuan County are occupied by the Han army, and all the livestock of the clan have been captured. What do we eat and drink? Where's our backup? Do we graze until the rainy season? ”

"But if we retreat, which of you can guarantee that the army will be able to break through the Han army's resistance and reach the Yinshan Pass smoothly?" The white horse bronze glared at Tuoba and said,

"If we are surrounded by the Han army in Daqingshan, it will be the annihilation of the whole army. Which is more likely to succeed than staying in the clouds and fighting the Han army? ”

"Which one is more powerful than the leopard or Xu Rong?" Xu Kui said without showing weakness,

"If the leopard still has backup, if the Han army crossing the north is not as many as you think, then it is of course the most appropriate to retreat north of Yinshan." Bai Ma Tong was so angry that his eyes were about to split, he smashed his fist on the desk, and shouted loudly: "At this time, if we retreat to the plan of the Han people to encircle us, we will definitely die." ”

"If we don't retreat at this time, all the Yinshan passes will be lost, and then we will definitely die." Tuoba said resolutely,

"Pull back quickly."

"If we want to fight, we also have to fight at the foot of Yin Mountain, not here. Fighting in Yinshan, we not only advance and retreat freely, but also get the support of Tuoba Feng. Xu Kui said,

"That's what we used to do, but now it's just a little bit ahead. Only with soldiers can we be invincible, and this is the best policy. "White Horse Copper and Tuoba Wai, Xu Kui, and Xu Bu Qiyang argued for a long time, but in order to preserve their strength and save their respective lives, no one was willing to risk a decisive battle with the leopard.

Bai Ma Tong couldn't convince the three of them, so it was best to agree to withdraw from Yunzhong. Baima Tong immediately sent someone to inform the defenders stationed in Yuanyang and Beiyu to abandon the city and retreat westward, and at the same time ordered the army to withdraw through the barren water in three ways.

Li Hong was greatly excited when he received the news of the retreat of the Hu coalition army, and hurriedly commanded the army to occupy Yunzhong City, preparing to cross the river at any time to pursue.

Xu Rong's war report was sent to Li Hong. Jiuyuan City was captured by the Han army, and the good news that most of Wuyuan County had been recovered immediately spread throughout the Han army camp, and the soldiers cheered and their morale was unprecedentedly high.

Li Hong and the generals were happy but also a little worried. Since Baima Tong received the news of the fall of Jiuyuan City before the Han army, he evacuated Yunzhong City with his iron cavalry as quickly as possible, and quickly crossed the barren water and went north.

And Li Hong did not launch an attack on Cloud City in time because the situation was unknown, and as a result, Bai Ma Tong ran away.

The rapid withdrawal of Baima Tong left less time for Xu Rong to deploy his troops, and the difficulty of the Han army to block the retreat of the Hu people on the front line of Daqingshan increased a lot.

Li Hong decided to pursue it immediately. At this time, Xian Yufu sent an urgent letter in a hurry, and the Son of Heaven died.

Li Hong was stunned for a moment. Xian Yufu's news came from the Hedong Wei Valve. In the letter, he said that the Son of Heaven suddenly fell seriously ill and died, leaving no edict and no crown prince.

At present, the situation in Beijing is unclear, and it is not known who will inherit the unification. He advised Li Hong to immediately stop the attack and prepare for the withdrawal of his troops.

Li Hong was very frightened. If the imperial court orders the withdrawal of the army at this time, or Luoyang is cut off from food and salary due to the chaos caused by the battle for the imperial unification, the Northern Xinjiang War will not only have to be wasted, but the army is very likely to be defeated by the Hu coalition army.

Especially Xu Rong, who has crossed the river to the north, his situation is the most dangerous, now he has 100,000 Hu coalition troops in front of him, and the surging Yellow River behind him, and the slightest carelessness will be the annihilation of the whole army.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Li Hong gritted his teeth and whispered to himself,

"Your Majesty, if you solve the imperial situation earlier, why will you be in today's crisis?" Li Wei saw that Li Hong's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? Li Hong handed Xian Yufu's letter to Li Wei, and put pen to paper.

He wanted Xian Yufu to do everything possible to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army on the Western Road, and once there was chaos in Luoyang, he would immediately notify Xu Rong to withdraw his troops.

Then he wrote another letter to Xu Rong, telling him not to attack the Yinshan Pass again, but to put all his troops on the front line of Daqingshan.

Once Luoyang is in chaos and the supply of grain and grass is cut off, immediately withdraw the troops on all fronts without any hesitation. Li Weiling laughed and put Xian Yufu's letter on the desk,

"My lord, this is the best time to do it." Li Hong knew what he wanted to say, and waved his hand to stop: "I am entrusted by Your Majesty to recover the border counties of the Great Han Kingdom and defend the northern frontier, and I will never wave my army to the south." Don't say anything useless, say something useful to me. ”

"The Son of Heaven died, the young lord ascended the throne, and the traitor was in power, even if Luoyang is not chaotic today, it will still be chaotic in the future, and the country will still perish, why do adults insist on making the world miserable?" Li Wei said excitedly,

"My lord, Your Majesty has returned to heaven, and whether the battle in the northern frontier continues or not, your lord will inevitably die."

"Death is death, what am I afraid of?" Li Hong said indifferently,

"All I have to do is bring my brothers back." Li Wei was so angry that he shook his hand and left.

"Order all armies to cross the river north tomorrow." After Xu Rong crossed the river, he immediately led his troops into Jiuyuan, and Liyi, Zhao Yun and Liu Bao each led iron horses to the north quickly.

The Xiongnu tribes scattered south of Yinshan were all captured by the Han army. Liu Bao ordered his subordinates to immediately move to the Yangshu Lake area, as far away as possible from Jiuyuan and Daqingshan to escape the fighting.

Zhao Yun entered the Manyi Valley, Liu Bao attacked Gao Que, and the two of them each led their troops to launch a battle to capture the Yinshan Pass.

Lu Yi and Yang Feng led the army to be stationed in Daqingyuan at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, preparing to block the Hu coalition army that came back.

Xu Rong received an urgent letter from Xian Yufu. The Son of Heaven died. Xu Rong sat in the big tent and thought for a long, long time.

"When are we leaving, my lord?" Wen Chou walked into the big tent and asked,

"The battalions are ready." Xu Rong slowly stood up and handed the book to the guard standing behind him,

"It's burning."

"Order the battalions, go now." Jump to! ~！ [To quickly find this site, please search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network]
