Chapter 820: Juque Unsheathed
***
Qin Mu was pacing back and forth in the second hall, how could this be possible, how could Lanzhou suddenly lose ground?
On the one hand, he asked Niu Wanshan to find a military doctor, and on the other hand, he sent someone to re-recruit Sima An and others to the second hall, and he tried his best to discuss a contingency plan.
The military doctor Bai Shiliang was carried to the second hall by Niu Wanshan, and just as he was about to give a salute, Qin Mu pointed to the unconscious messenger and shouted: "Save the person first, save him!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Sima An and the others also hurried over: "Your Majesty, but what happened?" ”
Qin Mu nodded and said: "At present, I only know that Lanzhou has been lost, the specific situation is Bai Shiliang, quickly save people." ”
"What, Lanzhou is lost!"
Sima An and others couldn't help but exclaim, Lanzhou was lost, is this still possible?
Bai Shiliang used the golden needle puncture method to save the messenger from waking up, and Qin Mu personally stepped forward and asked, "Tell me quickly, how did Lanzhou fall and what is the situation now?" ”
The messenger was wounded, and he ran all the way, although he was rescued and woke up, but he was still very weak: "Your Majesty, General Sun Sun Deyuan Sun led people out of the city to attack at night, but the enemy had already prepared, General Sun was ambushed by a thousand men and horses, and the whole army was annihilated The enemy took the opportunity to raise fire to attack the city overnight, General Ma Wannian Ma led the army to defend, unfortunately was injured by a stray arrow, unconscious, and the army in the city of Lanzhou was in great turmoil, Bai Lu Tuhu saw the opportunity, so he personally led the army to attack, and Lanzhou Lanzhou was lost."
Qin Mu listened, his brows tightened.
Sun Deyuan is the deputy general of Lanzhou, first in the ambush, and then the main general Ma Wannian was also injured by the arrow, unconscious, the main and deputy generals lost their command ability one after another, it is not surprising that the defenders of Lanzhou are under the onslaught of the enemy, and the chaos is not surprising.
It's really a disaster!
"Say it quickly. What happened to Ma Wannian now, and what about the defenders in the city? But the whole army was wiped out? ”
"Qi Yu Majesty, after the enemy broke the city, Qian Zonglin Yihu escorted the unconscious General Ma to break through and retreat to the sheepskin ditch in the south, most of the defenders in the city were scattered, and when General Lin retreated to the sheepskin ditch, less than 1,500 people came to report the news, General Ma was still in a coma, and his life and death were uncertain."
There were tens of thousands of defenders in the city of Lanzhou. Now less than 1,500 people have retreated to Yangpizigou, which can be said to be an unprecedented defeat since the founding of the Great Qin.
Qin Mu took a deep breath, this defeat, can you blame Ma Wannian?
There are unforeseen circumstances, Ma Wannian's life and death are uncertain, and now is not the time to hold him accountable.
Moreover, Qin Liangyu, the imperial sister, most of her descendants died for the Ming Dynasty, and she is now old, so there is only such a grandson left. If Ma Wannian died, I don't know if she would be able to withstand such a blow.
Sima An said urgently: "Your Majesty, Lanzhou is lost, and the enemy is afraid that it will advance eastward." Now it is important to strengthen the defense of Tianding, so that the enemy army does not approach the city of Gongchang. ”
Li Yuan even said: "Your Majesty, Chen Jian moved to Qinzhou, and transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Gongchang Mansion. ”
Gu Junen said: "Lanzhou is defeated. I'm afraid it will cause panic among the troops who are besieging Narimatsu, so we must take precautions as soon as possible."
Yu Shangyou said: "Your Majesty, the top priority"
"Shut up!"
Qin Mu snorted. said to Bai Shiliang: "Take people down and do your best to treat them." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Mu glanced at all the ministers, secretly took a few deep breaths and said, "I think that the top priority is not to mess with oneself. ”
"The ministers are guilty!"
Qin Mu said that it can't be chaotic, but it doesn't mean that the armies of all walks of life will not be chaotic, in history, because of the defeat of the army all the way, the complete collapse of all the soldiers and horses abounds.
Song Shenzong attacked Xia on five roads, defeated all the way, and the other four roads were panicked and retreated. Mongolia broke the city of Xiangyang, and the Southern Song Dynasty was completely defeated. The Ming army divided into roads and cut down Houjin, and was annihilated all the way, and the rest were all defeated
The list goes on.
The strategic location of Lanzhou is very important, Lanzhou is not lost, it is like a Dinghai God needle in Longyou, so that the enemy scruples, so that the Qin army is at ease.
Now that Lanzhou is lost, Bailu Tuhu's army can attack with all its strength regardless of whether it goes east, west, or northwest to Liangzhou, and there is no need to worry about the future.
In Lintao Mansion in the south, that day Song received the news of the victory in Lanzhou, and his morale must have risen greatly. On the contrary, the Qin army may be panicked and have no intention of fighting. In the case that the difference in strength between the two sides is not too large, it is not surprising that the offensive and defensive transposition.
What's even worse is Hexi, according to this situation, no one is sure that the tens of thousands of troops in the Hexi Corridor will completely collapse due to the fear of being cut off.
The loss of Lanzhou has made the well-planned situation in the northwest take a sharp turn for the worse, and this is really a capsizing ship in the gutter.
What to do?
As soon as Qin Mu was about to speak, Sima An seemed to have expected what he was going to do, solemnly bowed down, and repeatedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, now that you are in a big defeat, the army's heart is unstable, and it is not appropriate for Your Majesty to go to the army in person at this time, I hope that Your Majesty will think twice before acting." ”
Li Yuan, Gu Junen, Yu Shangyou, Yang Chao, Wei Yuan and others also came back to their senses, bowed down one after another, and persuaded in unison: "The ministers implore Your Majesty, don't risk yourself." ”
Qin Mu clenched his fists unconsciously, this time he said that it was the royal driver's personal expedition, but he really didn't plan to go to the front line in person, but now that the situation is so bad that it is this, is there any other choice?
"I know the intentions of the ministers. But is there a better way than to do it now? ”
Qin Mu's question, Sima An and the others didn't know how to answer for a while.
As far as the current shape is concerned, Lanzhou's Dinghai Divine Needle was suddenly removed by the enemy, and only by quickly replenishing one can the armies of all walks of life stabilize again.
And except for Qin Mu facing difficulties with the respect of the emperor, looking at other strategies, there is indeed no way to quickly stabilize the army of all walks of life.
"Your Majesty, now there are only 6,000 soldiers and horses around your Majesty, 20,000 troops in Bailutu, and it is a new victorious army, and it is a new victory, and it is in full swing, and Your Majesty is the respect of ten thousand times"
"If there is no better way, there is no need to say that this matter is related to the safety of the entire Longyou, Hexi, and Hetao, and to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people. Even if there are some dangers, as the king of a country, I can only face the difficulties. ”
"Majesty!"
Qin Mu swept the ministers with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The ministers listen to the order. ”
Sima An and the others knew that they couldn't stop the emperor, so they had to bow down and say, "The ministers bow down and listen to the holy decree." ”
"Ordered Sima An and Li Yuan, scholars of the Cabinet University, to sit in Gongchang and be responsible for the logistics and dispatch of grain, grass, winter clothes, weapons, medicine and other logistics for the army."
"Obey."
"Gu Junen, the left squire of the military department."
"Chen, I order you to go to Lintao to supervise the army immediately, and order the three armies to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and those who are ineffective in combat and afraid of the enemy will be killed!"
"Obey."
"In addition, the fate of Gao Yigong changed the strategy, from encircling the point to send reinforcements, to all-out encirclement and annihilation of Narisong's department, and within ten days, if you can't completely annihilate Narisong, all the guerrilla generals above will be beheaded!"
"Obey."
Gu Junen's heart couldn't help but tremble, in the ten-day period, it would take him at least one or two days to get to Lintao, which means that they only had about eight days to get to Lintao. At this time, he had no doubt about the emperor's determination, if he could not completely annihilate the Nari Song Division, I was afraid that all the generals would really be beheaded.
"Inform all parties, I will meet the army of Bailu Tuhu with 6,000 soldiers and horses, and before the victory is decided, I will never take a step back, and the officers and men of each army will think about how to deal with themselves."
"Whoa!"
"Your Majesty, do you want to transfer some more soldiers and horses from Sichuan?"
"No need, it's hard to save the fire from far away, now, let's go our own way."
After Qin Mu finished speaking, he immediately returned to the back office, the red lady had already heard the general situation of the matter, she opened her mouth to speak, and finally said nothing, she put on the armor first, and then brought the golden armor of the Son of Heaven and changed it for him.
"Ying'er"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to persuade your concubines, and your concubines don't have to persuade your majesty."
"I didn't mean to persuade you, I just wanted to sue you, follow me."
"His Majesty's concubines will definitely follow closely with His Majesty."
After putting on the armor, Qin Mu took the Juque sword, rode on the dark clouds and covered the snow, and rushed to the military camp in the east of the city with the red lady, Niu Wanshan, Li Shi and other personal guards.
In the barracks, the 6,000 elite cavalry led by Zhao Jian and Han Gang were already waiting for the order to attack at any time.
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
With the dragon flag of Qin Mu galloping into the barracks, no soldiers in the camp immediately shouted in unison, and the sound shook the city.
Qin Mu galloped to the front of the three armies with the rolling yellow dust, and shouted: "I, don't talk nonsense today, my sword, I haven't drunk blood for a long time, it's thirsty, it's thirsty!" I will take you to kill people today! Kill him and the mountains and rivers change color, the ghosts and gods are shocked, do you dare? ”
"Dare!"
The three armies roared angrily, and the murderous spirit was in the sky!
