Chapter 511 Jinxia West Route Army retreats

"I guess the Great Khan is worried about internal factors, not Chen Jun." Wanyan Xiaji said.

"Beidi?" Yue Puzi asked.

Wanyan Xiaji did not speak, and he acquiesced, saying: "There is news that after the Eastern Front was completely defeated, the Great Khan issued an order, ordering Yelu Hongqi to lead 10,000 forbidden troops, Beidi to send 10,000 troops, and additional troops from Haiyan Pass .

The Beidi tribe was the closest to Haiyan Pass. It could be reached in five days if the speed was fast. However, it was not until Chen Jun captured Haiyan Pass that the Beidi tribe arrived at Yankou, which was equivalent to just leaving the country. "

"Ah?" Yue Puzi was surprised and said, "Beidi acted like this. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Khan?"

"What reason to blame? Delaying the military plane? There are many ways for Beidi to evade this reason, but it is untenable. Moreover, the Great Khan asked Beidi to send 10,000 troops, and Beidi did indeed send out." Wanyan Xiaji said.

If Beidi is blamed for this reason, other tribes will also be dissatisfied. If they unite, Jinxia will be in chaos.

After all, Beidi dares to do this, which shows that he has the confidence and the means to deal with it.

"Then we're going to retreat like this?" Yue Puzi said.

"We have no choice but to retreat. The current situation is not good for us. Yuzhou is mountainous and it is cold winter now. The environment is not good for our army. Not only that, the Chen army in Yuzhou did not confront us head-on at all, although we occupied them The city, against Chen Jun, did not cause too much damage, and the number of troops was not reduced much.

On the other hand, our army suffered more casualties than Chen's army in order to capture Shuofei and Li counties. "

As he said that, Wanyan Xiaji looked at the mountains in the distance and said: "And I guess that the Chen Army led by Chen Mo not only did not continue to attack Jinxia, ​​but instead withdrew from Haiyan Pass long ago and is now returning to Yuzhou. On the way, once Chen Mo leads his army to Yuzhou, we will be the ones passive. "

After saying that, Wanyan Xiaji let out a long sigh: "But I'm not willing to retreat like this."

In fact, if we really want to talk about it, the Western Route Army led by Wanyan Xiaji achieved a lot.

Not to mention the annexed Dongyou Kingdom.

In Longyou of the Song Dynasty alone, gold and silver worth tens of millions, uncountable amounts of grain, and a large number of people were looted.

Without Jinxia's supplies, the West Route Army could be self-sufficient and still have enough surplus.

If the Eastern Route Army had not been almost completely wiped out, leading to a complete rout, even if they retreated, Jin Xia would have gained a lot from sending troops this time.

Qingshan Town.

Yue Ruyan was wearing light armor and carrying a broad sword on her back while patrolling the city wall. Although the arrow wound on her left shoulder had not healed yet and required dressing changes every day, and there was a dull pain from time to time, it did not affect the overall situation.

In the past few days, Yue Ruyan felt that something was wrong. After the Jinxia army captured Li County, there was no movement and no further troops.

At this moment, Li Yunzhang came over with a happy face and said: "General Yue, the spies from the front are here to report that the Jinxia barbarians have withdrawn from Li County."

"Retreating?"

Yue Ruyan looked surprised and said: "They have a huge advantage, why did they retreat?"

"Maybe the other side also knows that Haiyan Pass was captured by An Guogong." Li Yunzhang guessed.

"Then we should continue to attack."

Yue Ruyan frowned slightly. Faced with this situation in terms of military tactics, the best solution was not to return reinforcements, but to continue attacking the enemy's home base, thereby reducing the pressure on his own base camp.

Li Yunzhang shook his head. In terms of military strategy, he was far inferior to Yue Ruyan. The reason why he was promoted to this position was simply because he had been with Chen Mo for a long time as a member of the Qingzhou Army, and there were also many useful people around Chen Mo at that time. Not much, that's all.

"But no matter what the reason is, it is a good thing for us that the Jinxia Barbarians can retreat." Although the casualties of Chen Jun in Yuzhou were not very large, the consumption of money and food was extremely huge.

In addition, in local battles and various damages to city walls and gates, it is you who will suffer in the end.

Yue Ruyan said nothing.

The withdrawal of the Jin Xia Army was indeed a good thing for the Chen Army in Yuzhou as a whole, but it was not for her and the Yue Army. Yue Ruyan still hoped to avenge Long You's blood when Chen Mo came back.

Jinxia's West Route Army completely withdrew from Yuzhou.

But these Jinxia barbarians are really hateful.

When exiting Li County and Shuofei County, Wanyan Xiaji ordered the army to burn all the houses, shops, and government offices in the city.

Although the property and people in the city had long been evacuated by Chen's army, the Jin Xia army's fire completely turned the two counties into an empty city.

Rebuilding in the future will cost a lot of money.

……

Chen Mo arrived in Yuzhou at the end of December, the day before the New Year.

The only people who rushed to Yuzhou with him were the personal barracks and the heroic cavalry guards. The Suzaku Guards and Jiangdong Army were still behind because they were all infantry.

After learning that the Jin Xia Army had withdrawn from Yuzhou, Chen Mo frowned.

When he learned that the Jinxia Army had set fire to the two cities of Li County and Shuofei County before retreating, Chen Mo's face instantly darkened.

He did not go to Qingyang Town to meet Zuo Lianglun and the others immediately. Instead, he took his personal barracks to have a look at Shuofei County, which was burned out by the Jinxia Army.

The fire in the city has not been completely extinguished, and smoke is still rising in some places. Everything is scorched black and dilapidated, and there is not a single intact house in sight.

"These beasts really can't stop eating shit."

"We should have done the same thing when we captured Haiyan Pass, blood for blood, tooth for tooth."

"Aren't they afraid of being punished by God?"

"..."

When all the soldiers in the personal barracks saw the scene in front of them, they all gritted their teeth with hatred and clenched their fists involuntarily.

"Wanyan Xia Ji." At this moment, Chen Mo calmed down, but his eyes became extremely cold.

The last person to make him so angry was Timur.

At this moment, Zuo Lianglun, Li Yunzhang, Yue Ruyan and others who learned that Chen Mo had gone to Shuofei County also rushed over from Qingshan Town.

"Dong An Guo." Zuo Lianglun saluted Chen Mo from a distance before anyone arrived.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then thought of the letter Wu Mi had written to him before, about the letter at home that conferred him the title of "An Guogong".

After approaching, Zuo Lianglun raised his hand to Chen Mo again.

As soon as Chen Mo waved his hand, he caught Xia Zhining's hostile eyes from the corner of his eye.

Following her gaze, Chen Mo noticed the figure dismounting from a horse not far behind Zuo Lianglun.

The red number between his eyebrows is "1939".

He was even stronger than Liang Xuan back then.

She is tall and tall, wearing black light armor. She has a delicate face and a heroic aura. She is obviously a woman, but at this moment, there is no trace of femininity on her body. Instead, it is the gun she is carrying behind her. The broad sword that was comparable to his height was astonishing.
