The news of the war on the Eastern Front finally reached Wuping Prefecture very clearly.

After all, the Qin army couldn't continue to support it when its logistics were cut off. After the news of the barbarians besieging Wuping Fucheng reached the front line, the barbarian cavalry who had been incorporated into the legion immediately launched a mutiny.

Fortunately, Wen Pu had made arrangements in advance, not only to disperse the barbarians and cut them into several small regiments, but also to send a large number of barbarians into Yanshan to resist the Liaodong army.

The barbarians are good at cavalry and are not suitable for mountain warfare. Although they raised objections, the military orders were like mountains, but the barbarians did not dare to disobey them. Thousands of barbarians were sent to various important places in Yanshan, but Wen Pu was silent In the meantime, the Qin army deployed in Yanshan was withdrawn, and the barbarian soldiers went up.

It's just that Wen Pu knew very well that if all the barbarians were sent to the front line suddenly, no matter how stupid the barbarians were, they would feel that something was wrong, so they could only send them to the front line one by one.

This kind of method is like adding oil, but it is very effective, but although the barbarians have not experienced turmoil, they are quite dissatisfied.

It was originally used as a cavalry, and finally fought to the death with the Liaodong cavalry, but suddenly abandoned its strengths and adopted its weaknesses, and many barbarian cavalry had to complain a few words.

Fortunately, Wen Pu was sophisticated, and 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, they are really brave on the battlefield. Every stronghold in Yanshan, the Liaodong army is attacking with all their strength, but the barbarians are desperately blocking it, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Wen Pu's original plan was to use the technique of refueling to fill the Yanshan stronghold with all the barbarian soldiers quietly, and then quickly turned around and sent troops to rush to help Wuping Fucheng.

It was only half of the plan, but the barbarians had already received news from the rear. The barbarians who had not been transferred to the front line immediately launched a mutiny. The barbarians transferred to the front soon got the news, and immediately withdrew from the stronghold and rushed towards the Qin army.

While suppressing the rebellion, Wenpu sent people to guard the main roads in the mountain to prevent the barbarians from descending the mountain, while the Liaodong army took advantage of the situation to break through the stronghold. Suddenly, the barbarians were attacked from both sides, and the Yanshan battlefield was also in chaos.

The barbarians rebelled, and Wen Pu knew that the general situation was over. After paying a huge price to quell the rebellion of thousands of barbarians, he received a letter from Xuanyuanshao, knowing that Wuping Mansion had been taken advantage of by the Northwest Army, and immediately withdrew to Hujin, in desperation, could only leave thousands of soldiers and horses to block the mountain road, while the main force of the Qin army quickly withdrew southward.

What's more terrible is that the main force of the Qin Army was originally the Hexi Army under Feng Yuanpo's command. Many generals were also subdued by Dingwu due to the situation. These people are veterans who have experienced many battles Well, Wen Pu might be able to fool the barbarians, but how could he fool these warriors.

The Qin army retreated, and soon someone got the news of the fall of Wuping Prefecture. Naturally, all the generals knew that the Qin State was gone, and there was no way to recover.

Wenpu's retreat to Hujin was nothing more than a dying struggle. How could the generals in Hexi follow him.

Moreover, someone deliberately spread the news of the fall of Wuping Mansion. After the generals of the Qin Army learned about it, they immediately caused riots. The main composition of the Qin Army was the Hexi Army, and most of the Hexi Army were native children of Hexi. Before halfway to Hujin, a large number of soldiers left the team, and some generals were about to launch a mutiny and kill Wenpu.

The generals in Hexi know well 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 current strength has far surpassed that of the remnants.

These people thought that taking Wenpu's head would be a great gift of refuge. Whether it was the Liaodong Army or the Northwest Army, if they got Wenpu's head, in their opinion, it would be a great achievement.

Wen Pu was very shrewd, knowing that the generals in Hexi had already had a different intention. Fortunately, besides the Hexi Army and the Yiman Army, there were also two thousand guards dispatched by Dingwu. It will be sent to the front line, well preserved, and under the protection of the guards, it also breaks out and escapes the catastrophe, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under its command dispersed in a hurry.

Wen Pu could only take a few soldiers to Hujin, while most of the Hexi Army dispersed, while the remaining soldiers fought with each other, fell apart, and went their separate ways.

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

When the Liaodong Army attacked Yanshan, they suffered heavy losses and were exhausted. Moreover, Mo Wuyi knew very well that the logistics supply of Liaodong had to pass through Yanshan Mountain. The hinterland is extremely dangerous. In addition, it is mainly the Liaodong infantry that attacked Yanshan. Most of the cavalry had to pass through Yanshan and enter Hexi. , Let the exhausted Liaodong soldiers temporarily rest.

For most Liaodong soldiers, although they finally crossed Yanshan Mountain, no one was happy.

In the Battle of Yanshan, nearly 2 people were killed or injured, which can be said to be the heaviest loss since the founding of the Liaodong Army. Most of the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army are native children of Liaodong. Many soldiers are relatives and friends. Who can be happy when relatives and friends are buried in the battlefield?

Twenty to thirty thousand exhausted Liaodong Army occupied Daomacheng on the east side of Hexi.

The Liaodong Army attacked Yanshan Mountain and passed through Yanshan Mountain. The first city with a small scale was Daoma City. Naturally, the people in the city knew that the disaster was imminent. In order to replenish supplies, the Qin Army had already mobilized the people in the city before they left. The money, food and materials were all requisitioned, and the enemy was in front of him, so naturally he didn't care about the lives of the people, but the people in the city also fled west or south one after another.

In fact, not only Daoma City, Wenpu ordered all cities in the east to raise food and supplies to supply the front line. Although the supplies are scarce, flies are also meat. Wenpu's military order was issued, and officials in various cities had to take advantage of this to go to war and wantonly exploit the people. The people in all the cities fled there one after another, and the cities in the east, large and small, were already empty and withered.

Mo Wuyi also thought that after entering Hexi, he would use war to support the war and raise supplies on the spot. When he arrived in Daomacheng, he knew that this was only wishful thinking, and it was empty, leaving only the old and young who couldn't move around.

Fortunately, when people left, they didn't set the city on fire. Otherwise, in this freezing weather, the Liaodong Army would not even have a place to shelter from the cold.

The Liaodong Army didn't boost their morale because they broke through Yanshan Mountain, and Mo Wuyi didn't feel the slightest excitement about occupying Daoma City, but was very worried.

He knew very well in his heart that although the soldiers of the Liaodong Army did not dare to disobey and fought desperately for several months under Chi Liandian's military order, the morale of the army was getting weaker and weaker.

He was even more aware that there was actually an undercurrent surging within the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong army has always been divided into two factions. The Liaodong native faction and the foreign faction have always been fighting openly and secretly. As the governor of Liaodong, Chi Liandian also adopted a balanced strategy for the control of the army, and did not suppress the struggle between the two factions.

Chiliandian led an army of [-] people to march eastward to conquer Liaodong, and eventually drove the Koreans away. Chiliandian has since then been stationed in Liaodong. At the beginning, it was naturally relying on these tens of thousands of direct descendants.

But if you want to control Liaodong, you must appease the local people in Liaodong. If you want to guard it for a long time, you must integrate into the Liaodong gentry system. Only relying on the lineage, you want Liaodong to be united, reject Korea in the east, and block barbarians in the north. Arabian Nights.

Although the core is the direct descendants who followed him to Liaodong, with the expansion of troops, the local children of Liaodong gradually entered the Liaodong army, and there is a tendency for the latecomers to take the lead.

After 20 years, the three cavalry in Liaodong, except Chibei Tuqi, are almost all direct descendants who followed Chiliandian back then, while the yellow-armored tiger cavalry and black-armored wolf cavalry are the local factions who have an absolute advantage.

Although Chi Liandian has more trust in its own legion, but if it wants to stabilize in Liaodong, it still needs the strong support of Liaodong's local people, contacts and various resources, and the voice of Liaodong generals in the army is also increasing day by day.

In the previous Liaodong incident, Mo Wuyi also had no choice but to kill the killer. A large number of Liaodong generals among the generals were eliminated. The purpose of course was to control the entire Liaodong Army, but this result also made the Liaodong Army The strength has been greatly weakened, and it has already caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the Liaodong Army.

After all, they were not fools, and the generals who were cleared were almost all Liaodong generals. How could those Liaodong local soldiers not be angry when they saw it?It's just that under the power of Chi Liandian, he dared not speak out.

It is also because of this that during the Battle of Yanshan, Mo Wuyi did not dare to hand over the main offensive task to the local soldiers of Liaodong. If he did so, in the eyes of the local soldiers of Liaodong, Mo Wuyi would naturally be suspected of favoritism.

After all, the battle of Yanshan was extremely difficult, rushing to the front is undoubtedly a matter of death, if only the local soldiers and horses of Liaodong are used, but the direct line soldiers and horses are left behind, it is like if the local soldiers and horses are sent to death, but the strength of the direct line faction is preserved, The changes in the army have already made the Liaodong soldiers very dissatisfied. If they continue to do this, even with the power of Chi Liandian, mutiny will inevitably occur.

Therefore, in order to appease the anger of the Liaodong soldiers, Mo Wuyi could only send direct line soldiers to fight with the Liaodong soldiers, which caused a large number of casualties among the direct line 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 respected Chiliandian and obeyed Chiliandian's orders, but it was not because respecting him was not beneficial.

But after a few months, it is no use for him to command the battle. The lieutenant officers and soldiers have already gossiped in private. It was nothing more than such a tragic battle, with countless casualties. It's really unreasonable to not even show up for a few months.It should be known that Chiliandian has always been extremely concerned about the army. Not to mention such a big battle, the army holds large-scale drills on weekdays, and Chiliandian will also be present in person.

Chi Liandian was born in the army, and he loves the soldiers very much. As the governor, he spends a few days in the barracks almost every month, sleeping and eating with the soldiers. awe.

But now only military orders have been promulgated in Chiliandian, but no one has been seen. For more than 20 years, there has never been such a strange situation. Naturally, there are many smart people in the army. , 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. He knows that he can speak his mind in front of the Chibei Tuqi, but in the entire Liaodong Army, he does not have such a great prestige but deters all soldiers. If he wants to let gossip in the army go, Even to improve morale, only Chiliandian can appear in front of the soldiers, otherwise doubts in the army will become more and more serious, and this is definitely an extremely serious problem.

He is loyal to Chiliandian, but Chiliandian is now in the hands of the King of Han. The deal reached with the King of Han is that as long as Wuping Fucheng is captured and Dingwu is captured, Dingwu's head can be exchanged for Chiliandian.

He only hoped to quickly capture Wuping Fucheng and capture Dingwu before the doubts within the Liaodong Army turned into turmoil.

However, the intelligence sent by the scouts that followed made him fall into anxiety. Wuping Fucheng was occupied by the Northwest Army, and Wen Pu led the remnants to Hujin.

When the two pieces of news came back, Mo Wuyi immediately judged that Dingwu had probably retreated to Hujin, but the Northwest Army was already close at hand.

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

Back then, these were the two most powerful garrison armies in the Great Qin Empire. They were both brave and good at fighting, and they were also brave and fearless.

Mo Wuyi's ultimate strategic goal is not to take down Wuping Fucheng, but to take down Wupingfucheng and capture Dingwu. He doesn't care if Dingwu lives or dies, as long as he has Dingwu's head, he can take it Come to trade with Hanwang.

He is very clear that with the current situation of the Liaodong Army, outsiders may look like iron hoofs clanging and powerful, but he knows that the internally chaotic Liaodong Army is not ready to conquer the world at all, let alone head-to-head with the Northwest Army. .

If Chi Liandian led the army, Mo Wuyi would naturally have no worries, but now he is in charge of the army, and it is easy for him to lead the troops to charge into battle, but without Chi Liandian, let him strategize and conquer the world, he thinks that he has no such ability at all.

Facing the map laid out on the table, Mo Wuyi looked solemn and distressed. Should he go west to capture Wuping Mansion and fight the Northwest Army, or go south to Hujin and capture Dingwu, so that the Liaodong commander Dilemma.
