Warring States Call

Chapter 1997: Chapter Two Thousand and Seven: Fleeing
Changsun looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, his brows were involuntarily frowned, and with the help of the weak light, Changsun Wuji wrapped his coat around his shoulders, scratched the corner of his eyebrows, his expression became solemn involuntarily, and he sighed and said: "What a nuisance!"

"Changsang!" Changsun Wuji sipped softly, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with white beard and hair came in front of Changsun Wuji. Although he had silver hair all over his head, but his indifferent eyes, and the vicissitudes of life His face shows that he is a man with a story!
A middle-aged man named Changsang came to the hall, bowed respectfully to Changsun Wuji and said, "My lord!"

"The situation is not right! Chuange Shu Han, Chai Wu, Yan Song, and Zhang Gongjin entered the government to discuss military affairs, hurry up!" Changsun Wuji waved helplessly, signaling Changsang to handle it.

"promise"

Taking advantage of Changsang to call someone, Changsun Wuji came out of the mansion, looking at the bright moonlight high in the sky, his whole body was quite depressed, he stroked his beard helplessly, Changsun Wuji sighed for a long time, his complexion turned pale. Weary: "Troublesome! The situation is dangerous!"

At the time of three incense sticks, Ge Shuhan and the others quickly came to Changsun Wuji's mansion. It was already ugly, and most of them had already entered a state of deep sleep. They were awakened by Changsang. They both admired Changsun Wuji's dedication and It's complaining about grandson Wuji, it's so late, why are you messing around, wouldn't it be good to let them have a good sleep?

Changsun Wuji looked at the four people who rushed over, and ordered his servants to light the lamps and buy some tea, and then let them go out to guard the house. He looked at the four people and said, "Look at this bamboo slip! The situation is very unfavorable!"

The four of them were suspicious for a while. They passed it around to each other. When they looked at each other, they couldn't help but turned pale with shock. What's the situation? Standing up, he said, "I'll gather troops and go south to destroy this man."

"General Ge Shuhan, don't be impulsive for now!" Changsun Wuji repeatedly comforted him, stroked his beard, took a deep breath, and said for a long time: "The battle on the front line is imminent, and the new round of battle reports have not yet been sent back. The south is in a hurry, and we can't wait." , the follow-up supply of food and grass has become a big problem, if the two fronts go to war, the pressure on food and grass will be even greater! And we don’t have any extra soldiers and horses in our hands, what do you generals think!”

"This...!" Everyone looked at each other, Yan Song squinted his eyes, as if in a false sleep, he wanted to find out the purpose of Changsun Wuji, so he didn't rush to speak, but Zhang Gongjin on the side spoke appropriately: "In my opinion Suggestion, if we send reinforcements to Jeolla and Gyeongsang, we will be even more passive, not to mention food consumption, soldiers and horses will not be sufficient, as time goes on, we will be very passive!"

"Gongjin has a good plan!" The four of them looked at each other, looking at Zhang Gongjin.

"A good strategy is a mediocre strategy!" Zhang Gongjin looked at the red eyes of the four people, shook her head involuntarily, and said solemnly: "Tell the people from the two places to go north, and all withdraw to Zhongqing. The elite are defending in Zhongqing, holding back the enemy, as long as the lord's flag wins, and sending reinforcements back, it is only a matter of time to drive them away, the most important thing is that the food, grass and troops can be maximized!"

The four people looked at each other, looked at Zhang Gongjin, everyone was stunned, looking around, Changsun Wuji kept rubbing his hands, as if considering Zhang Gongjin's strategy, after a while, Changsun Wuji raised his head, looked at everyone and said: " You guys have other plans!"

Everyone didn't speak, and lowered their heads one after another. Although Zhang Gongjin's strategy was a bit expensive, it was practical. They had no reason to refuse. Ge Shuhan frowned and said, "At this moment, gather the soldiers from the three places, and add the troops along the way." There are more than 3 people who can be transferred, a total of [-] troops, and some will fight in this battle."

"Well! I will leave the matter in the south to General Ge Shuhan for the time being. I would like to trouble Gongjin to go to the west of Liaoning and tell the lord the situation in the country. After all, the situation is urgent. In order to prevent accidents, I should explain the situation to the king quickly. So as not to cause unnecessary problems again!" Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Gongjin who was sitting below, and said solemnly.

"promise!"

According to Zhang Gongjin's strategy, Ge Shuhan withdrew hundreds of thousands of people from Beiche, Jeolla and Gyeongsang's soldiers and horses to Zhongqing, and Han Shizhong's [-] troops from the south easily attacked the two places. Converging in Zhongqing in the middle of the month, the two armies showed a confrontational situation.

Qi Jiguang's 20 troops also arrived at the beginning of January, and then went north non-stop, together with Han Shizhong's [-] troops, a total of [-] troops, threatening Ge Shuhan.

Liaoxi City

Due to a mistake in the war, Nurhachi returned the position of the leader of the alliance. Right now, Li Shimin is still the leader of the alliance. There are only 24 troops in the western city of Liaoxi. Half of the 16 soldiers recovered last time died of serious injuries. At this time, the Hunjiang Alliance Among them, Li Shimin's soldiers and horses occupied more than half of them, with a total of 12 horses. Only 5 of Nurhachi's 1 cavalry escaped during the war. Among the remnants, the one with the least casualties this time was Maodun. The casualties under his command were almost negligible, with [-] horses and horses intact.

Shi Le's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have completely explained where they are. They all died in Jicheng, which means that their tribe has only two ways to go, either submit to other tribes and be gradually assimilated, or die in the grassland war. Without the protection of the grassland men, these women and children are lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without the slightest ability to resist.

Li Shimin looked at the battle report in Zhang Gongjin's hand, and his brows stood up involuntarily. Han Yi actually crossed the sea to board the case and landed on the South Island. What this means is self-evident. In the middle of the road, when Li Shimin is exhausted, he will inevitably be defeated.

Li Shimin's hands were trembling at this moment. He had a premonition that the situation of the battle had undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment. They didn't notice it. Li Shimin's brain was working rapidly, and only Li Shimin and Zhang Gongjin were left in the whole big account. Li Shimin looked solemn. , and said for a while: "Zhang Gongjin!"

"The minister is here!" Zhang Gongjin cupped his hands and said solemnly.

"Take a letter from me, go to Chang'an, and tell Han Yi that the king is willing to negotiate peace!" Li Shimin said this unwillingly. There was no other way. The situation was too dangerous. I am attacked from the front and back, the lightest is the tree falling and the monkeys scattered, and they will bite a few bites if it is serious.

After a while, Li Shimin summoned Li Guangbi and other confidantes, and after explaining the situation before him, he quietly transported the plundered supplies to the south. Li Shimin planned to stabilize Han Yi first, refuse to guard the Great Wall of Liaodong, and calm down the south first. , As for the Hunjiang League, they are all wolves in sheep's clothing, and Li Shimin doesn't bother to care about them, let them fend for themselves.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!" On the city wall, countless catapults pulled the triggers one after another and smashed towards the city wall.

Li Shimin organized the troops and looked at the people gradually arriving. Li Shimin held the sword in his arms, and under the protection of Li Yuanba, he looked around the crowd and beat Nurhachi, Maodun, and Wanyan Agu. He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone! The city has become an empty city! The Hunjiang alliance is meaningless! How about disbanding each other!"

"Li Shimin! What do you mean! So many people died in this battle, and if you say disband, disband! What do you think we are!" Wanyan Aguda was the first to disagree. Their losses in this battle were too serious. Most of the generals in the army died, and most of the soldiers and horses were lost. Now Li Shimin wants to leave, how can he bear it.

"We no longer have the strength to compete with them. To express our apologies, let's do this! The resources plundered by Shi Le's troops will be shared equally by the three of you! How about it!" Li Shimin looked at the three of them and said indifferently.

"You...!" Nurhachi was also furious at this moment, staring at Li Shimin with tiger eyes. Right now Li Shimin has a full 16 soldiers and horses. The combined strength of the three of them is not Li Shimin's opponent, so he can only let Li Shimin go.

In the empty hall, only the three of them were left. The three pairs of eyes looked at me and I looked at you. After a while, he said: "The alliance has been disbanded now! Should we go home separately! Or...!"

"Do you think that with Han Yi's nature of a hungry wolf, they will let us go? According to the rules on the grassland, if a wolf turns his head back, he will either repay his kindness or take revenge. Once we go back, Han Yi has such a cavalry in his hands. You have seen it too!"

"Going back is a dead end! If you don't go back, it's a dead end! A man on the grassland doesn't have that much courage in the face of death!" Wanyan Agu frowned involuntarily, with his hands on the brazier, his expression became more serious .

"I heard that the Xiongnu set off on the grassland. There are a total of 40 troops. Our three armies add up to a total of [-]. After all, we can get it together. Why don't you join him? This is the only one we have. There is a way to survive!" Mao Dun stroked his beard and looked at the two with a serious face. Nurhachi stood up first, with a dark face, glaring at the two, and said coldly: "Even if I die in battle, I will not die. I will seek refuge with Temujin, go on your own! A lone wolf on the grassland will not make friends with a spineless sheep! Humph!"

Nurhachi put down the harsh words and walked out of the military tent, only Modun and Wanyan Aguda were left. At this moment, Maodun was staring at Wanyan Aguda, as if asking him, what do you think.

Wanyan Aguda let out a long breath, and said after a long while: "That's all!"

"Okay!" With Wanyan Aguda joining, he can protect himself wherever Nurhachi is.

No. 19 in mid-January, the Hunjiang alliance formed by Li Shimin ended, and more than 20 troops retreated together. Han Qinhu took over the lost land of Liaoxi City three days later, and then divided into two groups. Huo Qubing was the main general, Zhao Yun, and Han Ming. As the deputy general, he sent troops to the grassland to pursue Nurhachi and the others, while Wei Qing led the remaining 40 soldiers and horses to pursue Li Shimin, while Han Qinhu stayed behind in western Liaoning to stabilize the situation.

On the grassland, the snow was blowing heavily, the sky was white, and there were almost no traces of the enemy army. Huo Qubing wore a black armor inside and a white cloak on the outside. He got off his horse and looked at the horse dung gradually covered by the wind and snow, and The surrounding horseshoe imprints involuntarily frowned.

Randomly snapping off a tree branch, Huo Qubing smashed the horse manure, saw that it could still be rubbed in, squinted his eyes and grinned, took a breath of water vapor, frowned and said: "The enemy has not gone far! It is ahead! Be ready at any time fighting!"

"Drive... drive... drive...!" Zhao Yun is riding a war horse, wearing silver armor, and adding a white horse righteousness under his crotch. It has to be said that Zhao Yun's white horse righteousness is simply for this snowy land Prepared, the movement of the white horse, and this silver armor, it is almost difficult to find their hiding place.

"What's wrong!" Huo Qubing squinted his eyes, looked at Zhao Yun, and said solemnly.

"The enemy army has been spotted! In the Hulun Hills!"

"How many soldiers and horses!"

"More than 1 people!"

"Isn't it the main force of the enemy army?" Huo Qubing frowned involuntarily when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Yun with his tiger eyes and said, "Swallow them! Grab a few tongues! Find out where their nests are!"

"it is good!"

"Drive!" Han Ming suddenly urged the horses, and thousands of soldiers under his command came out after Han Ming, sprinkled the snow on Huo Qubing's face, and patted the snow on his body indifferently, Ma Chao behind him came After Huo Qubing died, he folded his arms around his chest and said solemnly, "Would you like to support the Fourth Highness?"

"No need! People like this in the grassland are no match for His Royal Highness at all. The King is also deliberately training him. As long as His Royal Highness does not die, everything else will be fine!" Huo Qubing rolled over and looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers who were facing the wind and snow, angrily. He shouted: "The whole army charges! Stand up for the Fourth Highness!"

"Charge! Kill" Zhao Yun took the lead in leading the charge with a silver spear in his hand, waving the weapon in his hand like a god of killing.

"Daishan's enemy is chasing him!" Leng Geli rode a black war horse, waving the saber in his hands with both hands, frowning, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and came to Daishan's side.

Daishan was taken aback, looked back at the enemy army behind him, squinted his eyes, checked the number of the enemy army, raised the whip in his hand, turned around and walked: "Don't waste time! Send them to the designed trap Lead it over, and kill a few two-legged sheep before leaving, it's worth it."

Afterwards, the two armies started a tug-of-war, with Daishan running in front and Zhao Yun chasing behind, looking at the fleeing enemy, Zhao Yun's face was cloudy, and he immediately grabbed the Zhuge Liannu in his hand and shouted angrily: "Zhuge Liannu Crossbow ready!"

"Ha!" Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes and shouted angrily, "Shoot!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
