The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 537: Unexpected Gains [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

"It's so tiring!" Not only the Shesheng Battalion had to act, but the front line also had to act, for fear that they would accidentally hit the city gate and break into the city.

"Bingzhou is nothing special!" On the city wall, King Xiutu laughed and said as he watched the army withdraw safely.

How did they defeat the royal court and invade Donghu in Bingzhou?
Is our Xiutu Royal Court already so powerful?
"Is it still necessary to retreat?" King Xiutu looked at the Bingzhou army outside the city and suddenly gained courage.

With such a large Bingzhou army, there seems to be no need for them to retreat!

So, a combat meeting was held in Wuwei City.

As one of the three major forces in the Xiutu Royal Court, Dugu Ming and Dugu Longcheng are naturally qualified to participate.

"You all saw the battle today, tell us about it!" King Xiutu really didn't want to retreat.

However, he does not have the final say in the entire royal court. The Yan family and the Dugu family occupy half of it. If he wants to stay and fight a decisive battle with Bingzhou, he still needs the cooperation of the other two major forces.

"Is he crazy?" Dugu Longcheng looked at King Xiutu blankly and asked his father in a low voice.

I didn’t even touch the enemy and I was almost wiped out. If it weren’t for the throw... Hurry!

"Why do you care about him? Take your people to Jinchang to rest!" Dugu Ming didn't want to care at all.

Jin, what does Yan's death have to do with him?

He is a man who wants to be the father-in-law of the King of Bingzhou.

"Longcheng, tell me, how powerful is Bingzhou's combat capability!" King Xiutu felt that it would be more convincing if someone who had actually fought with Bingzhou spoke.

Dugu Longcheng was stunned, then looked at his father.

"If the Chanyu asks you to speak, just tell the truth!" Dugu Ming said calmly.

"My dear nephew Longcheng, just say it!" King Xiutu walked forward with a smile, patted Dugu Longcheng on the shoulder and said.

"I..." Dugu Longcheng struggled for a while, still looking at his father hesitantly.

Do you really want to tell the truth?
"The Yulin Guards are very strong!" Dugu Longcheng finally told the truth.

He just didn't say how he was captured.

“Hahahaha…” But as Dugu Longcheng finished his words, the generals of the Yan clan who were originally hesitant also laughed.

Was this kid scared silly by Bingzhou?
What about the rain of arrows that attack beyond visual range, and what about the cavalry and infantry that arrive in an instant?
Are you telling a myth?
"Dugu Longcheng is just looking for excuses for his previous escape without fighting!" King Xiutu also laughed.

He didn't think Bingzhou had such combat power. If that were the case, could Dugu Longcheng still be able to return?

As for what Dugu Ming and Dugu Longcheng said, he didn't believe a single word!
Dugu Ming was simply looking for an excuse for his son to escape without fighting.

"If Bingzhou is really so powerful, we would have been captured when we attacked the city just now!" A tribal officer who was at odds with the Dugu clan mocked.

Dugu Longcheng did not explain any further and returned to his seat.

I have told you honestly that I have done my best. If you don't believe me, you deserve to die.

I am a man who is preparing to become Bingzhou’s brother-in-law!

"Shut up!" Dugu Ming spoke, and glanced coldly at the people who were making sarcastic remarks.

For a moment, the entire parliament hall fell silent.

They can mock Dugu Longcheng, but he is the head of the Dugu family and one of the three decision-makers in the Xiutu royal court.

"If the Chanyu wants to fight, my Dugu clan will naturally support us. However, my Dugu clan has been attacked by the main force of the Yulin Guards. Now our people are tired and our horses are incomplete. We need to retreat to the rear to rest first."

Dugu Ming turned to look at King Xiutu and spoke deeply.

King Xiu Tu's eyes narrowed. He didn't remember much of what Dugu Ming said, and he didn't believe Dugu Ming's statement. If the Dugu clan was really willing to support him, there was no need to withdraw to the rear to rest.

But he remembered one thing, Dugu Longcheng encountered an attack from the main force of Bingzhou!

Think about it, Dugu Longcheng had only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and when they encountered the encirclement and suppression of the main force of Bingzhou, they were able to withdraw safely. Although they lost more than a thousand people, doesn't this just prove that Bingzhou's combat power is just exaggerated?

As for why the royal court fell, it was simply because Touman was arrogant and was crippled by Li Mu of Zhao.

Bingzhou took advantage of them and took advantage of them.

As for the Donghu, he received intelligence that the Donghu were first attacked by the Yan State, and then Bingzhou sent troops.

The so-called Bingzhou Blood Cavalry actually didn't even touch the main force of Donghu, nor did they encounter the main force of Donghu.

These two battles were entirely the credit of Zhao and Yan, and Bingzhou was just a thief who stole the fruits of victory.

“To restore the glory of the grassland, it’s up to my Xiutu Royal Court!” King Xiutu said in his heart.

However, King Xiutu did not reject Dugu Ming's decision. After all, they still needed the Dugu family.

Although the Dugu family will not help them, they will not hinder them or cause trouble either.

Moreover, Dugu Longcheng was obviously frightened by Bingzhou.

If such a large army of the Dugu clan remained in Wuwei City, it would only become the key to the other side's breakthrough and increase the variables.

But Dugu Longcheng has an army of 30,000 after all, and the road behind them is so narrow. If the Dugu family is really allowed to withdraw to the rear to rest, they might block the way for the reinforcements from King Hunxie and Yanshi, causing trouble out of nowhere.

Thinking about this, King Xiutu looked at the map again. He had to find a place for Dugu Longcheng and the Dugu army to stay so that they would not cause trouble on the battlefield.

"Jinchang!" King Xiutu narrowed his eyes.

In this battle, he wants to defeat the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry, the myth of the grassland's invincibility, and let the world know that Bingzhou is a thief!
He, King Xutu, is the brave warrior of the grassland and the Great Khan of the Xiongnu!

As for Jinchang, it is the territory of Dayuezhi?
It was the Dugu clan who disobeyed orders and went to fight. What does it have to do with me, King Xiutu?
Moreover, to defeat the glory of Bingzhou, we cannot allow Dayuezhi to interfere!

After the war, he will explain to the Dayuezhi and weaken the power of the Dugu clan at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!

After making up his mind, King Xiutu looked towards Dugu Longcheng with a smile.

"My dear nephew Longcheng, you have worked hard all the way. Why don't you retreat to the direction of Jinchang to prevent the Great Yue Clan from coming to disrupt the situation!"

“???” Dugu Ming and Dugu Longcheng were also stunned.

They were still thinking of a reason to withdraw to Jinchang, which Bingjun asked them to occupy.

As a result, the smart King Xiutu actually took the initiative to let them retreat to Jinchang!

"Really? God wants to kill you, you can't blame anyone else!" Dugu Ming pretended to be angry and left the table.

Dugu Longcheng followed behind, and all the generals and vassals of the Dugu family also left.

King Xiutu looked at the Dugu clan coldly as they left and said, "Let the Dugu clan remain arrogant for a few more days. When I, the Chanyu, conquer Bingzhou, it will be your turn."

Yanshi watched Dugu Ming leave and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Once King Xiutu defeats Bingzhou, the Dugu clan will be the ones to suffer.

But after the Dugu family was weakened, who will be the next one?

Thinking of this, all the generals of the Yan clan looked at each other. They would take action in this battle, but they would never fight to the death.
