The words almost made Wang Zhongzheng jump up, and even Zhao Zhan, who had the demeanor of a doctor so that the current Han Jiang had to think that he was inferior, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Luo Wucheng actually won?!" Wang Zhongzheng exclaimed sharply.

And Zhao Zhan also asked at the same time: "The western thieves besieging Luowu City have retreated?" ”

"The thieves came to attack a total of 80,000 horses." He defended for a moment, and hurriedly added, "But as long as you can't go into battle, no matter how many people you have, it's just a burden." ”

He was very anxious, worried that a stumbling sentence would leave a bad impression on the two envoys from Beijing, "The privy council of the Western Xia capital was shot to death by the eight-bull crossbow, and the morale of the Western thieves has declined greatly, just like the Khitans under the city of Lanzhou." As long as they can hold on for a while longer, the western thieves will inevitably retreat, the 80,000 soldiers will eat their horses, and the old capital of the party members will be eaten up, how can they still support it? ”

Chong Ge painted the prospect very well, and Wang Zhongzheng was a little moved when he heard it, but Zhao Zhan's face was still cold.

"What if you cut off a privy, let's talk about it when you cut Liang Yi and bury it! As for the great decline in the morale of ......the Western Thieves," Zhao Zhan sneered disdainfully, "I don't know if you have seen that Guanzhong is also in turmoil?" Can you guarantee that there won't be a second Wu Kui among them? ”

"In the end, the life of the whole family can be guaranteed!"

Zhao Zhan snorted coldly, "If there is really a mutiny, will your whole family's lives be able to defeat it?" ”

Chong Ge was furious, gritted his teeth and his hands were shaking, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhan's order, he would be above Zhao Zhan in terms of status! Even if the civil and military affairs are different, it will not be the turn of a Kaifeng judge to be so rude!

Zhao Zhan didn't pay any attention to the anger of Chong Ge, stood up, and took the holy decree from him and Wang Zhongzheng from the hands of Ban Zhi, who was sent to protect him. Turning around, he said loudly with his back to the south: "Plantation of orders!" ”

Chong Ge's face changed instantly, hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed his head and knelt down, but his hands were tightly clasped to the ground, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, his nails cracked and cracked, and blood flowed from his fingertips, but he didn't notice it.

An edict ordering the withdrawal of the army, accompanied by ridicule and ridicule, read it out in a tone of frustration, Zhao Zhan took a volume of the holy decree and handed it to the head of the planter, "Plant, take the order!" ”

He didn't move, he raised his head, turned his face sideways, and looked at Han Jiang, his eyes full of expectation. But Han Jiang looked away.

Because of the relationship between the Guangrui Army, the entire Western Army is now afraid that it has become a reserve for mutiny in the eyes of the imperial court. He used the lives of his whole family to ensure that in the next few years, there would not be a single mutiny in Shaanxi. But Han Jiang couldn't do it, especially after Wu Kui played the slogan of killing Wang Wenliang, he had no self-confidence.

External troubles and internal troubles, which is the greater threat, the views of the Son of Heaven and the courtiers, Han Jiang is very clear, he can't be hard topped, although he is still the prime minister, he still has the power to act cheaply, but if he withstands this holy decree, someone will immediately take his place - the Son of Heaven can tolerate failure, but he will not tolerate unruliness, Han Jiang has no choice!

"Retire the army......" Han Jiang sighed helplessly.

Han Jiang retreated, and Zhao Zhan immediately shouted proudly again, "Seed! Pick it up! ”

After years of planning and hardships, success is imminent, but after all, it still falls short. He was so sad that his eyes lost their sparkle. His blood-soaked hands were raised above his head, and he received the holy decree that was as light as a feather, but so heavy that it crushed his years of hard work: "Your ...... Obey! ”

The scarlet blood stained the five-colored silk paper on the back of the holy decree, Zhao Zhan laughed coldly, and was very happy about the pain of the seed, "Okay, let's think about how to recall the more than 10,000 people in Luo Wu City!" ”

……………………

"It's finally here."

Although this order was something that every official and general in Luo Wu City did not want to see, no one was surprised when they really received the order to abandon Luo Wu. There is only helpless silence and the decadence of hard work.

Han Gang was the only one who lacked such a state of mind, he had always thought that Luo Wucheng could not hold it, and although he had taught the Western Thief enough lessons—one of which was his own credit—the result had not changed after all. In the silent main tent, he lowered his voice and said to Chong Pu beside him, "I found that no, the siege of the western thieves has become much looser in the past few days. ”

"Most of them are scared! All of them are privy! The soft-voiced Ha Luha laughed twice, but when he saw that there was no smile on Han Gang's face, he couldn't stop laughing. Zhengse said: "Yukun, do you mean to say that the Western Thieves have received the news of the Gyeongju Mutiny and are waiting for us to leave?" ”

"Is there any other possibility?" Han Gang asked rhetorically. This reasoning is a line-down, obvious fact, "They are waiting for us to leave, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to come up and chase us down for a hundred miles." ”

"Yukun is right. That's what the thief thinks. Zhang Yu nodded, agreeing with Han Gang's opinion.

Because he successfully sent the injuries away the day before yesterday and had such brilliant feats, Han Gang's voice increased greatly, and he gradually gained the position of chief strategist. Now the big and small affairs in Luo Wu City, whether it is Gao Yongneng or Zhang Yu, they must first ask for his opinion.

"It's time to take back the defenders in Yongle Chuan City!" Han Gang proposed.

"The withdrawal of Luo Wucheng is already an obvious matter, and the party people must be unable to withdraw the defense of Yongle Sichuan Village first, and they can completely withdraw the defenders in the village openly. Of course, troops must be sent out of the city to respond, otherwise Liang Yibury will not mind eating some appetizing soup before the main meal. ”

"But if you want to give up Luo Wu's plan in this way, you can't hide it. The soldiers in the city are now in high morale because of the great victory the day before yesterday, and if they hear that the imperial court is going to give up Luo Wu, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable. Zhang Yu looked at Gao Yongneng, nodded in unison, and said to Han Gang: "Yukun, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

'Do you want to be a psychiatrist?' Han Gang laughed at himself in his heart, his part-time jobs were getting more and more. In addition to doctors and nurses, there are also more jobs as psychologists. However, he was still quite confident in his reputation in the Luo Wu army, and it was not difficult for him to appease the army.

"The so-called suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts, and the more you hide it, the worse the situation may be. The thoughts of the following officials should take this opportunity to explain everything clearly and clearly. As far as the lower officials know, most of the soldiers are reasonable people, as long as they can be open and honest, I believe they can understand. ”

“…… Isn't it a little too much, there is no need to explain so much. Gao Yongneng hesitated.

"Sooner or later, it will be announced, it is better to say it from our mouths." Han Gang was very persistent.

Seeing people as human beings has always been his view. He will not follow the example of the officials at this time and put the word 'fool' on his lips. Han Gang has always believed that there are many smart people in this world. Don't tell the lies that will be exposed sooner or later, and the truth that will not be concealed in the blink of an eye should be revealed on your own initiative. Now in Luowu City, the soldiers below still trust the upper-level generals and colonels. Taking the initiative to speak out against the odds reinforces that trust. But if you hide it, it will destroy this layer of trust. "With the injuries that have been sent away, everyone should know about it. We will not abandon one, nor will we abandon one! ”

Hangang's suggestion was adopted. When a decision is made, action is swift. The next day, Yongle Chuanzhai, which received the order, began to retreat to Luowu, and in order to meet them, most of the defenders in the city were also dispatched to protect the passage between Yongle Chuanzhai and Luowu City.

"Xianggong, the Song people are going to retire!" A party general excitedly rushed into the big tent buried by Liang Yi and reported the good news.

But Liang Yi didn't move, still sitting quietly, slowly tasting the wine. He had already received the news that the Song people had only withdrawn from Yongle Sichuan Village. As the nearly 2,000 defenders of the fortress left, smoke rose from the wall, and then the fire spread to the highest part of the walled city. The walls collapsed and the houses collapsed, and the walled city that had just been repaired ended a short life in flames.

Hearing that the Song people set fire to the village, Liang Yibury finally walked out of the big tent.

"Do you want to fight?" The general asked again.

Liang Yibury looked at it from a distance. Two miles away, in order to meet the friendly troops who withdrew from Yongle Sichuan Village, the formation set up by the defenders of Luowucheng was clearly a decisive battle. The Western Xia Prime Minister looked back at the many generals behind him, and shook his head without hesitation, "No, let them pass." ”

The current situation makes it difficult for Liang Yi to move the patriarchs of those wealthy clans. They all want to wait to pick up the cheap, how can they change to fight with the Song people when they easily get the victory? And Liang Yibu now doesn't want to consume the military power that obeys his orders, he has already lost a lot, and if he is injured again, he will not be able to protect himself.

Liang Yibury and the patriarchs of the party refused to take advantage of the idea, so that nearly 2,000 soldiers who had guarded Yongle Sichuan Village for many days finally retreated to Luowu City without any danger.

After settling the two thousand people who suddenly came out, Chong Pu found Han Gang who was buried in the sand table in the main tent. "It's time to withdraw, right?"

Han Gang withdrew his attention from the Wuding River Valley and said, "No, delay it for a few days." ”

"For what?!"

"Of course, it is to delay time and sharpen the patience of the party members. …… What a surprise! ”

"The purpose of withdrawing the defenders of Yongle Chuan City is to give the Western Thieves a hope, and make them imagine that we will evacuate immediately, and wait with peace of mind. But when did I say I'm leaving immediately? With the situation in the city, it will be enough to wait another five or six days! Han Gang smiled proudly, "Don't say it takes five or six days, even ten days and half a month are no problem." When it was besieged by the Western Thieves, it was impossible to withdraw without saying anything. Even if Yanzhou keeps sending people to urge, there is a good reason. Just stay up! Only after the Tangut people retreat first can we evacuate safely! ”

"But the Gyeongju rebels ......"

"Does the rebellion of the Guangrui Army have anything to do with us?! The chaos can't come to Yan Yanlai! Han Gang's voice was cold, "It's enough for us to think about our own affairs!" ”
