Great Han Empire

Chapter 302
Tuoba Feng did not launch an attack.

Lüri deduced that the entire army was wiped out, the life and death of the king and company were uncertain, and the morale of the Xianbei army was low. At this time, attacking the morale of the Han army was meaningless except to increase casualties.

Tuoba Feng saw that the Han army in Boluo Valley was reorganizing and preparing to fight again, so he ordered the army to retreat slowly.

"The leopards have returned to aid Boluogu, which means that the battle on Qingshi'an is over, and the 6 troops of the King and Jiuyuan Banner King Mu Gaiting have been defeated." Tuoba Feng pointed at the black cavalry of the Han army in Boluogu, and pointed at Lu He deduced the day and said, "Your Majesty just passed through Boluo Valley this morning. In less than twelve hours, [-] horses and horses will be gone." He shook his head in frustration and sighed, "Leopards use Boluo Valley and Qingshi Bank Taking advantage of the superiority of the infantry and cavalry, we made full use of the superiority of the infantry and cavalry, and fought back and forth between the two places at a distance of sixty miles.

"We clearly knew that we might be attacked by leopards after passing Liupan Mountain, but we were still unable to guard against it. As soon as we showed up, we were hit in the middle by him." Tuobahui coughed a few times, and said bitterly, "Your Majesty is too impulsive. Now, I only think about my own achievements. If he was waiting for us to go south together in Boluo Valley, what would be the result of today's defeat?"

"It's all your lord's fault." Lu Ri said angrily, "He kept talking about beating Chang'an and building Gai Xun in front of the king, and tried his best to encourage the king to go south. My 2 horses also went in with me."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tuoba Han scolded, "My 1 horses are not human? If you weren't self-righteous and commanded me indiscriminately, would Bu Chuihong, a warrior of my Tuoba clan, die here?"

"Tuobahan, why did my commander mess up his command?" Mang Zhengji pointed at Tuobahan and scolded, "It's because you are incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death. The commander told you to guard the way out, how did you guard it? You run away where it goes?"

"Stop arguing." Tuoba Feng slapped Tuoba Han with a whip, and cursed loudly, "The battle has ended like this, why are you arguing? If the king dies, you can be buried with him in Boluo Valley."

"Immediately send people to go around Boluo Valley and search all the way. No matter what, we must find out whether the king is alive or dead."

After the Han army saw the last batch of Xianbei cavalry disappear into the darkness, they couldn't help cheering in unison.

"Big man... big man..."

"Hoo Hoo... Hoo Hoo... Hoo Hoo..."

=====================

The night passed quietly.

Li Hong sat on a small horse rejecting horse in the horse rejecting array, silent.

He looked at the busy soldiers coming in and out, smelling the strong smell of blood and charcoal in the air, and hearing the cheers and shouts of the soldiers one after another, he felt extremely heavy.Although this battle was temporarily won, he was already unable to launch an attack on Mount Fanting.If the Xianbei people stick to Fanting Mountain, and Dong Zhuo is unable to take Lingzhou and cut off the retreat of the Xianbei people, then the battle in Western Xinjiang will continue.How long can the treasury of the Han Dynasty last?
He Lian had probably fled back. Will he continue to lead the army south when he is furious?If Helian gave up attacking Chang'an, the Xianbei people would gather an army of 12 to invade the south and gain nothing. Will the leaders of the Xianbei tribes agree to Helian's withdrawal?The two wars wiped out 8 cavalry of the Xianbei people, plus the enemy troops wiped out in the blocking of Sanguan and Fanting Mountain, the Xianbei people lost at least nearly 4 people, and their remaining more than [-] people can no longer form a huge lethal force , Will they quickly withdraw their troops because of this?

The 1 infantry army that reached the north of Liupan Mountain went through a series of fierce battles, leaving only more than 2 people; How many people in the [-] infantry army can continue to fight?Probably only about [-] people at most.

The 1 cavalry and the 5000 Northern Army's Changshuiying iron cavalry were the main force in this victory over the Xianbei. Although the two raids were raids, due to the lack of training of the Huangzhong Qiang and Xianling Qiang, there were more than [-] people in the battle. Li Hong was very saddened to be killed in the fierce battle.In addition to the cavalry killed in the battles of Sanguan and Fanting Mountain, the entire cavalry army also lost more than [-] people.

Half of the [-] army was left in a blink of an eye, and after the victory, there were only half of them left. It was really hard for Li Hong to accept.

After listening to Zheng Xin's report, he sat blankly on the rejection horse, feeling dejected. He didn't even want to bury his subordinates, and he didn't want to take a last look at his beloved brother.He just sat there blankly until the sun rose slowly.

===

Xian Yufu dragged his exhausted body slowly to Li Hong's side.

"Zimin, are you okay?" Xian Yufu patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "I have already sent someone to send the victory report to Luoyang."

Li Hong nodded and said sadly: "Yu Xing, there are not many Jizhou soldiers who followed us to Xiliang."

Xian Yufu felt pain in his heart, bowed his head and was speechless.

"I once promised them that as soon as the battle in Xiliang is over, I will take them back, but now..." He looked up at the sky, crying, "I made a mistake, I didn't do it, I took them to fight One battle after another, sending them all to the sky, I failed..."

"They all died for the Great Han Kingdom, and they died well. They are all heroes of our Great Han Kingdom. They are the spirits in the sky, and they will not blame you, people..."

"In the past, I thought that after returning to the Han Kingdom, I could retrieve my memory, find my parents, my relatives, and my home." Li Hong buried his head in his big hands, his shoulders twitching violently , choked up and cried, "But I didn't find anything. I've been fighting and killing people. I don't want to kill people anymore. I really don't want to kill people anymore. I'm too tired and I want to go home too."

Xian Yufu's eyes turned red, tears almost fell down.He knelt down, hugged Li Hong tightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "When the battle of the Han Kingdom is over, you can go home, and you will definitely be able to go home."

===

When Dahei saw Li Hong approaching, he stood up excitedly and shouted, "My lord is here, my lord is here..."

"Dahei..." Li Hong suddenly saw him and shouted in surprise
"My lord, do you still remember me..." Dahei was at a loss and said nervously, "My lord..."

"Are you not injured?" Li Hong grabbed his dirty hands, looked up and down, and smiled gratifiedly, "I'm so happy to see you are still alive."

"Me too, my lord." Dahei smiled cheerfully, "But I almost died."

"Oh?" Li Hong asked, "What's going on?"

"I was tied to a war horse, and I ran all the way, and my internal organs and six lungs almost spewed out." Dahei explained, "I finally got here, and before I untied the rope and jumped off the horse, the Xianbei people had already started to flee. As soon as I was in a hurry, I chased after the horse, and the horse galloped away, but I fell behind the horse's buttocks, and was almost trampled to death by the horses behind."

The people around burst into laughter.

"It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead." Li Hong patted him and asked, "How many Xianbei people did you kill?"

"I killed one at Qingshi'an, but I didn't catch one here." Dahei said embarrassedly, "I have no choice but to carry the dead body in the middle of the night."

Qu Yi, Gao Lan, Tong Zi, and Yang Chun Gao Geng stood in front of Qu Lu's tomb, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"He's my brother, my real brother." Qu Yi wiped away the tears from his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "When I went to the Western Captain's Mansion as a military commander, he followed me. We lived together in Jincheng County. In Longqi City, I have fought battles in various parts of Western Xinjiang for several years, we lived and died together, and we are like brothers and sisters. I shouldn't let him leave me, I should always keep him by my side."

Gao Lan said sadly: "It's all because of the incompetence of the subordinates, which caused Lord Qu to lose his life. If Lord Yan Liangyan is still in command of this battalion, maybe he..."

"Zhengqing, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to blame you." Qu Yi shook his head, "He is like us. After wearing this leather armor, his biggest wish is to die on the battlefield. Today he can die in the battle On the battlefield of the Xianbei people, that is his greatest glory."

"I just feel sorry for him. I owe him my life, and I feel guilty for not paying him back while he was alive." Qu Yichang sighed, "He saved me on the battlefield."

===

Li Hong heard that Lei Zhong used to be a soldier of Huanglong, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and was very surprised.

"Then you are a veteran. You have been in the army longer than me. No wonder you have so much experience in fighting."

Lei Zhong smiled wryly and said, "It's all for myself to survive, not to mention any experience, my lord is too much praise. If it wasn't for lord Li this time, I would have died."

Xiaolan said with a smile: "If you die, I will lose a brother." Xiaolan's name is Li Su, and the word Zini.He originally had a name but no characters, but Sima Zuoyan gave him the characters.

"That's right, if you die, we will lose a military Sima." Yan Rou patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said, "If it weren't for the refusal of the horse formation, we wouldn't have lasted until midnight, and we wouldn't have been able to wipe out Lu The army that was deduced in Japan. You have contributed a lot to this battle with such a great result."

"My lord is just joking. The ability to defeat the Xianbei depends entirely on your cunning. The villain really has no credit for it." Lei Zhong bowed and said, "The villain only wants you to enter Fanting Mountain as soon as possible."

Li Hong smiled appreciatively, and said: "The army has fought fiercely and suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter Fanting Mountain these days."

Lei Zhong's face darkened, and he was speechless for a while.

"When we evacuated Fanting Mountain, the remains of tens of thousands of brothers were thrown in the woods by the side of the road. Their heads must have been cut off by the Xianbei as trophies." Lei Zhong said sadly, "They are our Brothers are heroes who died on the battlefield, we should have buried them instead of letting them die in the wilderness."

Li Hong's heart trembled, and suddenly he thought of Tian Zhong, Tian Jing of Lulongsai, and the dead bones of tens of thousands of Han soldiers in the setting sun.When will we be able to bring the heroes of the Sunset Plain back to their homeland?He glanced at the blue sky sadly, and heaved a long sigh.

"You violated the order and beheaded the Xianbei prisoner, was it to vent your anger?"

Lei Chong snorted angrily, but remained silent.

"Although Lord Yan and Lord Li have the intention to protect you, they are very angry when they assassinate you. He thinks that you relied on military merits and recognized that you disobeyed military orders, so he wants to punish you." Li Hong thought for a while and said, "You will stay under Lord Li for the time being. After this matter subsides, I will plead with Lord Wei again, hoping to make up for the crime.”

=====================

More than a dozen soldiers escaped from the Qingshi'an battlefield one after another. They explained in detail the course of the Qingshi'an battle, but they didn't know the whereabouts of the king and Lian.

Tuoba Feng was extremely anxious.

"The scouts reported back that they only heard that Jiuyuan Banner Wang Mu Gaiting, Haoshuai Polu, and Woshaquan had died in battle." Tuobahui said, "We have neither news of the death of the king nor his capture. What should I do? Continue to withdraw or wait here?"

"We can't wait here." The grey-faced Lu Ri Deyan said weakly, "This is Liupan Mountain, and there is no danger to defend. If the leopards lead the army to kill us, we will lose our troops. We can't afford to lose."

"What should the king do?" Mang Zhengji asked, "We can't retreat to Fanting Mountain like this. What if he is still on the way to escape?"

"If he had escaped from Qingshi'an, he would have found us a long time ago." Lu Ri deduced and said, shaking his head, "It's only sixty miles away from Qingshi'an, so it's impossible to arrive now. I think he has already escaped from Qingshi'an , right in front of us, on the way back to Mount Fanting."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"If the leopard killed the king or captured the king alive, the news would have been flying all over the sky. Would he still hide such a big event? This news is more effective than another [-] reinforcements. It can not only boost the morale of the soldiers, but also can be a heavy blow." Attack us." He glanced at the crowd and said with a wry smile, "The soldiers who fled back said that after Poruo fled to Qingshi Mountain with thousands of troops, he did not run wildly, but kept turning his head to stop him. Could he be an idiot? ? Still entangled with the Han army in that situation? He is the king's confidant, and he must have done this to cover the retreat of the king."

"The commander-in-chief is right." Tuoba Han nodded repeatedly, and asked, "Then why didn't the king rush to Boluo Valley directly? Why does the commander-in-chief say that he has already gone to Fanting Mountain?"

Lv Ri Deyan looked at Tuoba Feng coldly and did not speak.

Tuoba Feng and Tuoba Hui looked at each other, and their expressions seemed to agree with the guess made by Lv Ri.

"Let's retreat." Tuoba Feng said, "Retreat to Fanting Mountain."

===

"Your Majesty is suspicious by nature. He doesn't trust us Xianbei people in the west, he doesn't trust you and Marshal Yanliyou, that's normal." Mang Zhengji followed behind Luri's deduction, and whispered, "The [-] troops from Danhan Mountain They are all wiped out, the king has no strength in his hands, so he naturally wants to guard against us, but Lord Tuoba Feng is his confidant? Why is the king not in Lord Tuoba's army?"

"Your Majesty is wrong. In fact, Langtou and I don't want to kill him, even Master Luoluoluo doesn't want to kill him. We also want to use Your Majesty to suppress Xianbei and Tuobafeng in the north." Lü Ri deduced for a moment, then said, "It's Tuoba Feng who really wants to kill him."

Mang Zhengji was shocked.

"In the past few years, the strength of the Tuoba tribe has become stronger and stronger. They have frequently invaded the Han Kingdom, not only occupying a large area of ​​lush grassland, but also plundering a lot of wealth. After Tuoba Feng has these lands and wealth, his power is increasing day by day Big, now his tribe has become the largest tribe in the Xianbei Kingdom."

"Look at the Xianbei in the north, is there any tribe that can compete with the Tuoba tribe?" Lv Ri deduced and sighed, "The northern Xianbei has become Tuoba Feng's private property, and in the eyes of Tuoba Feng, this Xianbei lord is a piece of shit. Not worth it, he has greater ambitions, he wants to dominate the grassland, he wants to..."

Li Ri's deduction suddenly shut up.

"Great king?" Mang Zhengji exclaimed in a low voice, "He wants to be the king of Xianbei?"

"Do you still want to go back to the tribe, kid?" Lv Ri deduced angrily, "This time I was fooled by Tuoba Feng and lost 2 people for nothing. Do you still want to lose our heads?"

Mang Zhengji was taken aback, leaned closer to Lüri and asked: "Can the king escape back to Danhan Mountain?"

"Huh..." Lv Ri deduced with a sneer, "With me and Langtou here, I don't believe that the king can't go back to Danhan mountain. As long as the king returns to Danhan mountain with troops in his hands, I think he will go to Tuobafeng in his dreams." Bar!"

"just in case……"

"There is also the commander." Lu Ri deduced and said confidently, stroking his beard, "As long as Murong Feng is still alive, Tuoba Feng will not have a bright future."

====
"How sure do you think Luri's deduced guess is?" Tuoba Feng looked at the iron knight soldiers speeding all the way, and suddenly turned around and asked.

"My lord, it doesn't matter anymore." Tuoba Hui looked around and said in a low voice, "Now that our goals have all been achieved, it doesn't matter at all whether the king is dead or alive. Even if the king is really dead now, the future will return Danhan Mountain, we can justify it. We stayed near the entrance of Boluo Valley for a day and a night, and sent more than 1000 people to search along the road. We have tried our best. We have seen the deduction of the Law Day, and he can prove it for us. We are just borrowing the Law Day If it is a deduction, just withdraw the troops along the way."

Tuoba Feng frowned, thinking for a long time, the worry on his face became more and more serious.

"What are you looking out for, my lord?"

Tuoba Feng looked at the rolling mountains, and said slowly: "I'm watching out for Murong Feng, I suspect he has already guessed what I'm going to do?"

Tuoba Hui's expression tightened, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"So what if he guessed it? It's impossible for him to know that the leopard defeated us so quickly. He may still be guessing how we can kill Helian and how we can deal with the [-] troops at Danhan Mountain?"

"But he can control Danhan Mountain before us." Tuoba Feng said worriedly, "I should let you go to Yanmen County, not Tuoba Tao."

"My lord, you should trust Tuoba Tao. He has fought in the battlefield for decades, can't he even control the boss?"

"Yes, I was just worried that the leader would run away from him." Tuoba Feng sighed, "Thinking about the leader's father, Huai Zong, you should know that the leader is by no means incompetent. Over the years, he has To save his life, he has always been careful, lest he be caught by He Lian and killed, so we despised him."

"In the past few days, I've always thought of his father, and the more I think about it, the less at ease I feel." Tuoba Feng said, "If Murong Feng takes control of Danhan Mountain and makes the leader the new king, there will be absolutely no opposition from the Xianbei Kingdom. Because, the Xianbei King was originally his."
