Chapter 1997: Dilemma

After all, the news of the war on the Eastern Front still reached Wuping Mansion City very clearly.

After the news of the siege of Wuping Mansion City by the barbarians reached the front line, the barbarian cavalry who were incorporated into the corps immediately launched a mutiny.

Fortunately, Wenpu had made arrangements in advance, not only to disperse the barbarian soldiers and cut them into several small corps, but also to send a large number of barbarian soldiers into Yanshan to resist the Liaodong army.

The barbarians are good at cavalry, and they are not suitable for mountain warfare, although they also raise objections, but the military order is like a mountain, the barbarians do not dare to disobey, thousands of barbarian soldiers were sent to various important places in Yanshan, but Wenpu was silent, the Qin army deployed in Yanshan withdrew, and the barbarians went up to the top.

It's just that Wen Pu knows very well in his heart that if all the barbarians are suddenly sent to the front line, no matter how stupid the barbarians are, they will feel that things are strange, so they can only be sent to the front line one by one.

This method of adding oil is also very effective, but although there is no turmoil, the barbarians are also quite dissatisfied.

Originally, it was used as a cavalry, and finally fought to the death with the Liaodong cavalry, but it abruptly abandoned the strengths and weaknesses, and many barbarian cavalry had to complain a few words.

Fortunately, Wenpu's methods are sophisticated, and he only said that the barbarian soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and they were the main force of the Qin army.

Although the barbarians are not good at mountain warfare, but on the battlefield, they are also really brave, every stronghold in Yanshan, the Liaodong army is attacking with all their might, and the barbarians are also desperately blocking, and both sides are suffering heavy losses.

Wen Pu's original plan was to use the technique of adding oil to quietly fill all the barbarian soldiers to the Yanshan stronghold, and then quickly turn around and send soldiers and horses to quickly gallop to the aid of Wuping City.

Only half of the plan was implemented, but the barbarians had already received the news from the rear, and the barbarians who had not yet been transferred to the front line immediately launched a mutiny, although Wenpu had been prepared, but when he pacified the rebellion, he still suffered heavy losses, and the barbarians who were transferred to the front soon got the news, and immediately withdrew from the stronghold and pounced on the Qin army.

On the one hand, Wenpu quelled the rebellion, and on the other hand, he sent people to guard the main road in the mountains to prevent the barbarians from going down the mountain, while the Liaodong Army took advantage of the situation to break through the stronghold.

After paying a great price to quell the rebellion of thousands of barbarians, he received a letter sent by Xuanyuan Shao, learning that Wuping Mansion had been taken advantage of by the Northwest Army and immediately withdrew to Hujin.

What's even worse is that the main component of the Qin army was originally the Hexi Army under Feng Yuanpo's command, and many generals were also forced to be subdued by Dingwu due to the situation, these people are veterans of a hundred battles, Wenpu may be able to deceive the barbarians, but how can he deceive these generals.

The Qin army retreated, and soon someone got the news of the fall of Wuping Fucheng, and all the generals naturally knew that the Qin State was already in the general situation, and there was no power to return to the sky.

Wenpu's retreat to Hujin was nothing more than a dying struggle, and how could the generals of Hexi follow.

And someone deliberately spread the news of the fall of Wuping Mansion, after the Qin army soldiers learned about it, it immediately caused a riot, the main composition of the Qin army was the Hexi army, and most of the Hexi army were local children of Hexi, and they were willing to follow Wenpu to retreat to Hujin, before they were halfway, a large number of soldiers left the team, and more generals were ready to launch a mutiny and kill Wenpu.

The generals of Hexi know that there is the Liaodong Army in the east and the Northwest Army in the west, whether it is the Northwest Army or the Liaodong Army, their strength is now far beyond the remnants of their relatives.

Whether it is the Liaodong Army or the Northwest Army, if they get Wenpu's head, in their opinion, it will naturally be a great achievement.

Wen Pu is very shrewd, knowing that the generals of Hexi have already had different intentions, fortunately, in addition to the Hexi Army and the Yi Barbarian Army, there are still 2,000 guards dispatched by Dingwu, these two thousand guards Wenpu will naturally not be sent to the front line, well preserved, under the escort of the guards, but also broke through and escaped a catastrophe, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command were scattered in a hurry.

Wenpu could only take a few soldiers and horses to Hujin, while most of the Hexi army scattered in a hurry, but the remaining soldiers and horses were quarreling with each other, falling apart, and parting ways.

When Chu Huan got the news of the Eastern Front, the Liaodong Army had already broken through Yanshan and entered dozens of miles into Hexi, but it did not continue to advance, but occupied a city for temporary rest.

When the Liaodong Army attacked Yanshan, it suffered heavy losses and was exhausted, and Mo Wuyi knew very well that the logistics supply of Liaodong had to pass through Yanshan, the road was difficult to travel, and the transportation was very difficult. Let the exhausted Liaodong soldiers take a break for a while.

For most of the Liaodong soldiers, although they finally passed through Yanshan, no one was happy.

The battle of Yanshan, nearly 20,000 dead and wounded, can be said to be the most heavy loss since the founding of the Liaodong Army, the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army, most of them are the local children of Liaodong, many soldiers are relatives and friends, the old township, the stalemate for several months of fighting, relatives and friends are buried on the battlefield, who can be happy?

Twenty or thirty thousand exhausted Liaodong army occupied the east of Hexi, which is the easternmost county town in Hexi, when the Liaodong army arrived, it was almost an empty city, without any soldiers and horses stationed, and easily occupied this county.

The Liaodong army attacked Yanshan, through Yanshan, the first slightly large-scale is the inverted horse city, the people in the city naturally knew early that the catastrophe was coming, the Qin army in order to supplement the supply, when the people in the city had not left, they had already requisitioned the money, food and materials in the city, the enemy was current, naturally they could not take care of the people's lives, and the people in the city also fled to the west or south.

In fact, it is not only the city of the fallen horse, Wenpu ordered all the cities in the east to raise grain and grass materials to supply the front line, although the materials are scarce, but flies are also meat, Wenpu's military order was issued, the officials of the cities had to take advantage of this to make a big move, wantonly exploited the people, but the people of the cities fled one after another, and the large and small cities in the east had already been empty and withered.

Mo Wuyi also thought about fighting to raise supplies on the spot after entering Hexi, and when he arrived in Fallen Horse City, he knew that this could only be wishful thinking, empty, and only some old and young people who couldn't move around were left.

Fortunately, when the people left, they did not burn the city, otherwise in this cold day, the Liaodong army would not even have a place to shelter from the cold.

The morale of the Liaodong Army was not greatly boosted because of the breakthrough of Yanshan, and Mo Wuyi was also not the slightest excited because of the occupation of the Fallen Horse City, but was annoyed.

He knew very well in his heart that although under the military order of Red Refining Electricity, the officers and men of the Liaodong Army did not dare to disobey and fought desperately for several months, but the morale of the army was getting weaker and weaker.

He knew better that there was actually an undercurrent surging within the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army has always been divided into two major factions, the local faction in Liaodong and the foreign faction have always fought openly and secretly, and Chi Liandian, as the governor of Liaodong, has also adopted a balanced approach to the control of the army, and has not suppressed the struggle between the two factions.

Chi Liandian led an army of 30,000 to the east, conquered Liaodong, and finally expelled the Goryeo, and Chi Liandian has also sat in Liaodong since then.

But if you want to control Liaodong, you naturally have to appease the local people in Liaodong, and if you want to defend it for a long time, you must integrate into the gentry system of Liaodong.

Although the descendants who followed him to Liaodong were the core, with the expansion of soldiers and horses, the local children of Liaodong gradually entered the Liaodong army, and there was a tendency for latecomers to prevail.

In the past 20 years, the three cavalry of Liaodong, except for the Chibei Tu Cavalry, are almost all descendants who followed the Red Refining Electricity back then, but the Yellow Armor Tiger Rider and the Black Armored Wolf Rider have an absolute advantage in the local faction.

Although Chi Liandian has more trust in his descendant army, if he wants to stabilize in Liaodong, he still needs strong support from Liaodong himself, and the voice of Liaodong generals in the army is also increasing.

In the previous Liaodong chaos, Mo Wuyi was also in a helpless situation, and a large number of Liaodong generals were eliminated, although the purpose was to control the entire Liaodong Army, but this result was also to greatly weaken the strength of the Liaodong Army, and it had caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the Liaodong Army.

After all, they are not fools, almost all of the generals who are cleared are Liaodong generals, and those local soldiers in Liaodong see it in their eyes, how can they not be angry in their hearts? It's just that under the power of red refining electricity, he dares to be angry and dare not speak.

It is precisely because of this that during the Battle of Yanshan, Mo Wuyi did not dare to completely hand over the main attack task to the local soldiers and horses of Liaodong.

After all, the battle of Yanshan is extremely difficult, rushing to the front, and sending to death is undoubted, if only the local soldiers and horses of Liaodong are used, but the descendants of the soldiers and horses are left behind, it is equivalent to letting the local soldiers and horses be sent to death, but the strength of the descendants is preserved, the changes in the army have made the Liaodong soldiers very dissatisfied, if you still want to do this, even if there is the power of the red refining electricity, it is inevitable that there will be a mutiny.

Therefore, in order to appease the anger of the Liaodong soldiers, Mo Wuyi could only send the descendants to fight with the Liaodong soldiers, which also caused a large number of deaths and injuries among the descendants of the soldiers.

The Liaodong Army was able to fight desperately and break through Yanshan, in the final analysis, it was nothing more than that the soldiers were in awe of the red refining electricity and obeyed the order of the red refining electricity, but it was not because it was useless to respect him.

But after a few months, it was useless for him to command the battle, and the officers and men in the army had already gossiped in private, it was nothing more than such a tragic battle, with countless casualties, but the red refining electric as the governor of Liaodong was nowhere to be seen, and he did not even appear in a single face for several months, which is really unreasonable. It must be known that for a long time, Red Liandian has been extremely concerned about the army, not to mention that such a big battle, on weekdays, large-scale drills are held in the army, and Red Liandian will also be present in person.

As a governor, he will spend a few days in the military camp almost every month, sleeping and eating with the soldiers, and it is precisely because of this that he will be feared by the soldiers of Liaodong.

But now that the red refining electricity is only a military order, but there is no trace of people, for more than 20 years, there has never been such a strange situation, there is naturally no shortage of shrewd people in the army, it is inevitable that they will mutter in private, but it also makes the Liaodong army seem to be united up and down, but there is already an undercurrent surging inside.

Mo Wuyi knew that he had no way to solve such a problem.

He is not without self-knowledge, knowing that he is naturally a man of his own words in front of the Chibei Raider, but in the entire Liaodong Army, he really does not have so much prestige but deters all the soldiers, if he wants to let the gossip in the army disperse, and even improve morale, only the red refining electricity can appear in front of the soldiers, otherwise the doubts in the army will become more and more serious, and this is definitely an extremely serious problem.

He is loyal to the Red Refining Electricity, but the Red Refining Electricity is now in the hands of the Han King, and the deal reached with the Han King is that as long as he breaks through the Wuping Mansion City and captures Dingwu, he can exchange Dingwu's head for the Red Refining Electricity.

He only hoped that before the doubts within the Liaodong Army turned into turmoil, he would quickly conquer the city of Wuping Mansion and capture Dingwu.

However, the next scouts sent a series of information, but it made him anxious, Wuping Mansion was occupied by the Northwest Army, and Wenpu led the remnants to retreat to Hujin.

When the two pieces of news returned, Mo Wuyi immediately judged that Dingwu was likely to have retreated to Hujin, while the Northwest Army was already close at hand.

The Northwest Army was afraid of the Liaodong Army, but the Liaodong Army was also quite jealous of the Northwest Army.

Back then, these were the two most powerful garrison corps of the Great Qin Empire, both of which were brave and good at fighting, and they were also not afraid of death.

Mo Wuyi's ultimate strategic purpose is not to fight to capture Wuping Mansion City, its purpose is only to capture Wuping Mansion City and capture Dingwu, as far as Dingwu lives or dies, he doesn't care, as long as there is Dingwu head, he can use it to trade with the King of Han.

He knew very well that with the current situation of the Liaodong Army, it seemed to outsiders that it was sonorous and powerful, but he knew that the Liaodong Army, which was in internal chaos, was not ready to conquer the world at all, let alone be prepared to go head-to-head with the Northwest Army.

If the Red Refining Electric leads the army, Mo Wuyi naturally has no worries, but at the moment, he is in charge of the troops, and he is not a problem to lead the troops to charge into battle, but without the Red Refining Electricity, let him strategize the world, and he asks himself if he has such the ability at all.

Looking at the map spread out on the table, Mo Wuyi looked solemn and extremely distressed, whether to go west and take Wuping Mansion directly and fight with the Northwest Army, or to go south to attack Hujin and seize Dingwu, so that the commander of Liaodong was in a dilemma.
