Chapter 505

At the beginning of July, just over a month after Luo Feng killed Taluhu.

In Qinghe County, Yanzhou, nearly 50 soldiers and horses gathered in the field.However, in the coalition camp at this time, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

Now that the stalemate has lasted for a month, Donghu's army has been patient and refused to take the lead in attacking.At first, everyone was still secretly rejoicing, but now, they can't help but secretly complain.This time the troops were dispatched to the north, and the food and grass had only been prepared for less than two months.Now that a month has passed, less than half of the army's food and grass are left. If the stalemate continues, the army will not only be unable to rescue Yanzhou, but will take itself in.

Seeing that the army was in crisis, Cao Jun's chief general, Yan Hong, clamored for withdrawal.But when they tried to break out from the south, the Donghu cavalry rushed forward and drove them back to the camp.After trying several times and losing thousands of people, Yan Hong had no choice but to retreat into the camp to worry.

On the other hand, Zhang Zhongliang and Lu Zhan were earnestly building camps, motivating the morale of the army, and put all their energy on guard against Donghu.At this time, the rescue messenger had broken through the siege of the Donghu people, and rushed out of the encirclement to move rescuers.But how many reinforcements can be brought in, everyone has no idea.

The crowd originally fought against the strong wall to clear the field, so that the Donghu people could only choose to shrink their troops and return to Yanbei when they could not get supplies.But after the Donghu people obtained a large amount of gunpowder from Wanrenguan, it was easy to attack the city and pull out the stronghold.The [-] Donghu cavalry led by Wu Nusutu went all the way south, continuously attacking counties and counties, and set off bloody storms one after another in Yanzhou.Countless Yanzhou people were massacred or became slaves.Countless supplies, money and food fell into the hands of the Donghu people and were sent to the Donghu camp continuously.

The food road in the rear was completely cut off, and the reinforcement coalition forces were struggling to guard the camp, with no hope in sight.

At this time, in Donghu Daying, Fan Qi was the No. 12 time to report to Huerle, impeaching Unusutu for violating the holy will and killing innocent people indiscriminately.

Huerle impatiently put Zoubiao still on the case, and looked at Fan Qi with a gloomy face: "Fan Aiqing, didn't I already tell you? Unusutu captured so many cities for me, captured A lot of money and food. If I just scolded him blindly, wouldn't it make the entire army feel chilled?"

"Your Majesty, the people of Yanzhou will all be your people." Fan Qi couldn't help but kowtow, "In order to stabilize Yanzhou, Your Majesty should be lenient, so as to win the hearts of Yanzhou people."

"Isn't this one of my people yet?" Huerle sneered, "When I occupy Yanzhou, I will implement a benevolent government and let the people of Yanzhou enjoy the greatness of my emperor's grace."

"His Majesty...."

"Okay, Fan Aiqing, are you my minister of Tianmeng or Yanzhou?" Huerle glared at him and snorted coldly, "Don't forget your identity."

Fan Qi fell powerlessly to the ground. At this moment, in his heart, he had already begun to regret the decision to encourage His Majesty to go south.

Only at this time did he realize that His Majesty was only a native of Donghu after all. When the power was weak, he urgently needed the power of the Central Plains to fight against the Golden Werewolves. That's why he tried his best to accept the Central Plains slaves living in the grassland for his own use.Now that the grassland rebellion has been quelled, and almost the entire grassland has been unified, its power is no less than that of the golden werewolves back then.In order to win over the hearts of the tribes in the grassland, the chiefs of the tribes in the grassland were placed in important positions above the court.Fan Qi originally thought that all this was just a strategy to appease the hearts of the tribes.But from today's point of view, it is actually just to squeeze the Central Plains people out of the court and dilute their influence in the empire.

Fan Qi couldn't help but sigh slightly, Donghu people are Donghu people after all, and his eyes are still on robbery.As everyone knows, relying on plunder is to build an empire on sand, and once there is no source of plunder, the foundation will quickly disintegrate.Only self-sufficiency can allow the empire to receive a steady stream of blood transfusions and maintain the operation of the empire.

On the second day, messengers galloping from the north entered the camp in a hurry to present the information sent by Sirius City to Khurla.

When Kuerle read the news, he was stunned.When all the ministers looked at him with doubts on their faces, they slowly said: "The capital came to report that the Hengshan Army annihilated [-] cavalry from Taluhu in early June, and the entire army from Taluhu down was wiped out. At the same time, Xijing City Wanting to be attacked, all the people in the city were captured, and the city of Xijing was burned to the ground.”

"What?" Everyone was shocked. Now that the city of Xijing is broken, the western gate of Tianmeng is open.Now that the entire army is heading south, there are only tens of thousands of troops stationed in the country.If the Hengshan Army took advantage of the situation to attack Sirius City again, not only would the Mongolian Empire lose face that day, but the families and wealth of all of you present would all gather in the city.Everyone couldn't sit still when they thought that their family and property might fall into the hands of the Hengshan Army.

"Your Majesty, Sirius City is the capital of our Tianmeng Kingdom, so there must be no loss. Please retreat your troops quickly and rush to support as soon as possible."

"That's right, Taluhu's defeated army lost ground, which opened our door to Tianmeng. If Hengshan's army enters the territory, the empty grassland will definitely not be able to stop their advance."

"Your Majesty, the country should be the most important thing. We have gained a lot from this battle in Yanzhou, so we can go home." . . .

Everyone scrambled to persuade them, wishing they could fly to the grassland immediately with their wings.

Huerle's face was ashen. Although he was very unwilling to retreat at this time, he could not carelessly respond to the opinions of the generals.However, if the troops withdraw at this time, then the plan for the Southern Expedition can only be abandoned halfway, so I am not reconciled.

"Fan Aiqing, what do you think?" Hu Erle was in a hurry to go to the doctor for his illness, and he glanced at Fan Qi, looking at him expectantly, hoping that he could come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

Fan Qi smiled wryly to himself, what can be done now that the matter has come to this?He is also extremely unwilling, and now that he is close to winning Yanzhou, as long as the reinforcements are short of food and grass, they can make them mess up.Except for the reinforcements, Yanzhou will have no more soldiers to fight. Once Yancheng is taken, Yanzhou will become a land of heaven.

"Your Majesty, I believe that at this time, we should really withdraw our troops and return to the north." Fan Qi said in a deep voice.

Huerle's face darkened slightly, showing a hint of disappointment towards Fan Qi.No, Fan Qi paused, and continued, "However, our army must not just retreat. Once our army returns to the north, Yanzhou will have deep resentment towards Tianmeng. In this way, we, Tianmeng, will face enemies from all sides. Therefore, for this withdrawal, we must first disable this reinforcement so that it cannot pose a threat."

"Huh, what you said is simple. After more than a month of construction, the opponent's camp is already as solid as a rock. How can our army capture the enemy's camp in a short time?" A Donghu general snorted coldly.

"That is, if we wait until we capture this big camp, our army will have to sacrifice so many warriors and waste so much time." Another general echoed, "I'm afraid we have already received the news that Sirius City was captured before we returned to Sirius City." News of the invasion."

"Shut up!" Huerle frowned slightly, looked at the two generals coldly, and shouted sharply, "Fan Aiqing, since you dare to say that, you must have a plan in mind, right?"

Fan Qi's face was slightly pale, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, now tens of thousands of people from Yanzhou have gathered in my big camp, or, maybe they can be sent to attack the camp..."

"Haha, Fan Aiqing is really the minister of my Tianmeng, my heart is to my Tianmeng, so good!" Huerle laughed when he heard the words, with surprise in his eyes.
