Wei Zheng pondered for a long time and asked in a suspicious voice, "how about our army beating Qingyuan first? The city defense of Qingyuan is strong. As long as our army occupies Qingyuan City first and relies on its city defense before the wind army arrives, plus the accumulated grain, grass and materials in the city, it will not be a problem to resist the wind army for two or three months."

With a faint smile, Chang sun Yuanhong asked, "then?"

"Then? Then, of course, when the king sends troops to help."

"Impossible!" Chang sun Yuanhong waved his hand, say: "Now there are no soldiers available in the capital. Otherwise, the king will not send me back. Our army is now alone. Without reinforcements, we can only fight alone. Even if we can occupy Qingyuan before the wind army arrives, we will have to be surrounded by the wind corps and trapped in the city. At that time, we will not only suffer, but also affect hundreds of thousands of people in the city. In addition, Qingyuan is a county city, which used to be a county city Maybe you have accumulated a lot of grain, grass and materials, but after being occupied by the wind army, can you ensure that the wind army still leaves those grain, grass and materials in the city? What if there's an empty city inside? Without food and grass, can our army last for two or three months? "

When asked by long sun Yuanhong, Wei Zheng didn't have a word. He nodded secretly. Long sun Yuanhong's concern is not unreasonable. Seizing Qingyuan is a dangerous chess. One careless mistake will bring disaster to the whole army and the people all over the city. This is the worst policy! Thinking of this, he asked, "is there really no way for our army to go?"

Long sun Yuanhong said, "it's still the same sentence. Retreat to Hexi and die against the invasion of the wind army to the West. After calming the duki people in the north, concentrate their troops to fight against Hedong and recover the lost land!"

Wei Zheng was surprised and said, "what the wind Kingdom wants is Hedong. Will they continue to advance westward?"

Chang sun Yuanhong shook his head and smiled and said, "people's hearts are not enough. Snakes swallow elephants! Besides, Tang Yin is not a person who can be easily satisfied."

Wei Zheng took a breath, turned his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.

At the behest of Chang sun Yuanhong, the Ning army didn't stay outside Qingyuan City. The whole army packed up the camp and took away all the soft and complicated luggage. It retreated West overnight. This retreat led by Chang sun Yuanhong and Wei Zheng, more than ten thousand troops in the western part of the Ning country have retreated across the Zhanghe River. The whole army stationed between Yongzhou and Shunchang on the West Bank of the Zhanghe River and set up a camp, More than 300 warships and more than 20000 naval forces were transferred from Yongzhou City and Shunchang City, and were in full readiness to defend the West Bank.

The first battle between the Western army of Ningguo and the Fengjun in Hedong ended with the active withdrawal of the Western army. It seems that the Western army has been defeated, but the damaged troops of both sides are almost the same. There are 50000 casualties in the Western army of Ningguo, and about 50000 casualties in the Fengjun. The 400000 elite Fengjun who entered Hedong at the beginning have reduced their manpower by more than half, leaving more than 200000.

To this extent, the Fengguo is certainly acceptable. It is worthwhile to exchange 200000 casualties for the whole Hedong region, no matter from which point of view. The solemn atmosphere in China has also been replaced by sudden joy. So many generations of monarchs of Fengguo wanted to recover Hedong, but none of them succeeded. Fengren thought that they would never want to see Hedong return to the customs again in their life. Unexpectedly, such a powerful Ningguo was defeated by Tang Yin, the new monarch of their own country. If the big Hedong area was recovered by Tang Yin, at this time, The voice against Tang Yin can no longer be heard in the country of Feng, and people's attitude towards Tang Yin has gradually changed from the original wait-and-see to blind worship. Almost all feng people firmly believe that Tang Yin is a monarch who can lead the country of Feng to become more and more powerful and a great king who can live a good life.

Facts have proved that Tang Yin made the wind country become stronger and stronger rapidly, and the people's lives became richer and richer. However, at the same time, he also brought endless war to the wind country, making the wind country the center of the vortex of chaos and war.

On the contrary, the whole country was in panic. It had not suffered defeat on the local battlefield for more than 100 years. In the eyes of Ning people, Ning was the most powerful vassal state in the north of the Empire and even the whole empire. The army of Ning army was an invincible and invincible division. As a result, the first World War in Hedong completely shattered Ning people's confidence, Nearly a million central troops suffered a disastrous defeat in Hedong. Sun Yuanhong, the first general of Ningguo, also suffered a defeat in Hedong and had to retreat to the west of Zhanghe River. The ensuing defeat report made Ningren lose their sense of propriety. This is true of all people. The stronger their self-confidence and the higher their position, the more vulnerable they will become and the less able they can withstand the blow. Now this is the situation in Ningguo.

On the court of Liangzhou, now no minister dare to fight again. People are most worried about what to do if the wind army continues to march westward and directly attack Liangzhou? Now the capital has no soldiers and no generals. What will you take to resist the wind army then? The ministers agreed and made peace with the wind country.

Yan Chu couldn't sleep well these two days. He really didn't understand that the Feng army was fighting in a different place, and the national strength was empty, and there were only 400000 people. How could he defeat his own millions of troops? Company commander sun Yuanhong was not the enemy of the Feng army. Was the Feng army helped by heaven or was the problem on his own side?

In the early Dynasty, the main hall of the Royal Palace of the state of Ning.

As soon as Yan Chu sat on the king's chair, Zhang Zhihong, the right minister, came out of the train and said with an arched hand, "king, I have something to play!"

Yan Chu took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "speak!"

"Your Majesty, the 200000 troops under the command of General Chang sun and general Wei have been defeated in Hedong and are now retreating to Hexi..."

"Pa!"

Before Zhang Zhihong finished speaking, Yan chumeng patted the table and the loud noise echoed in the hall. Zhang Zhihong and the ministers on both sides trembled and fell on their knees. Yan Chu stood up, looked around at the ministers kneeling below and shouted, "I heard the news last night. Don't you have anything else to play?"

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Zhihong spat in his throat and said in a trembling voice, "the wind army has been prepared for the war this time. I'm afraid it's not Hedong, but the whole country of Ning. Now our army is restrained by the duki people in the north, and there are no soldiers available in the capital. Once... Once the wind army continues to approach the west, I'm afraid it will... Go straight to the capital!"

Yan Chuqi's body trembled, but he couldn't deny that what Zhang Zhihong said was also true. Now he really had no soldiers in his hands. He clenched his fist and buttoned his nails into the flesh of his palm, forcing himself to calm down. He calmed down and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, in your opinion, how should our country resist the enemy?"

"Make peace! Hide your strength and bide your time, and attack later!" Zhang Zhihong quickly raised his head, The positive color said: "Your Majesty, the wind country is poor. Sending troops to our country is nothing more than for face, gold, silver and food. Since they want these, we'll give them. Your majesty can cede Hedong first and give them gold and silver to stabilize the wind people. After solving the troubles in the north, you can concentrate on dealing with the wind country. At that time, our army will be prosperous and broad. You won't worry about recovering Hedong and expelling it No wind thief... "

Yan Chu's face turned white at first, and then turned red. He clenched his teeth and said, "Zhang Aiqing, are you asking Gu Xiangfeng to admit defeat and cede land for compensation?"

Of course, Zhang Zhihong understood that it was extremely difficult for him to admit defeat with Yan Chu's arrogant surname. In addition, it was even more difficult to cede Hedong and compensate Fengguo for the war losses. He sighed, say: "Your Majesty, this... Is also an expedient measure. Now the wind is strong and I am weak. If you don't make certain concessions, the consequences will be unimaginable. But you don't have to worry. When our * * power recovers in the future, I can recover the Hedong area ceded to the wind country. I can compensate the gold and silver of the wind country, and I can double my recovery. Please think twice!"

In the past, it was a very ridiculous thing in Yan Chu's mind. Who dares to say so, he could execute the man on the spot, but now he really can't find any other way to resist the wind army. Yan Chu seemed to be hit by a dull hammer. He stood up and shook his body for two times. He sat down slowly. He glanced around and asked softly, "do you Aiqing think Gu should do this?"

Hearing his question, the people who had knelt on the ground and didn't get up bowed to the ground one after another and said in unison: "take expedient measures to stabilize the wind man, ensure that my Daning foundation is not lost, hide one's strength and bide one's time, and then make plans later. This is the best policy. Please draw lessons from the king!"

"Ha ha..." Yan Chu smiled and looked at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who were kneeling down. He couldn't restrain his impulse to laugh. When the country was in danger, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were greedy for life and afraid of death. Unexpectedly, no one dared to stand up. These are the great ministers he relied on!

People don't understand why Yan Chu laughs, but they also hear the irony in the laughter. The people lowered their heads, looked at each other, and said in one voice: "to negotiate peace with the wind country is to ensure the country of Daning, the foundation for thousands of years, and to protect the people of Daning from the suffering of war. Wang Yingming, please make a decision!"

Yan Chu snorted and smiled. He understood what the ministers in the court were thinking. These ministers were traditional nobles of Ningguo, and their fiefs were not in Hedong. Even if Hedong was ceded to Fengguo, there would be no loss for them, but the loss of Hedong would be incalculable for Ningguo as a whole.

But what can we do without making peace? Once the wind army breaks through the Zhanghe River, what should we do in Liangzhou? Are you still forced to move the capital? Thinking of this, Yan Chu closed his eyes and sighed a long sigh. Then he stood up, shook his robes and sleeves, walked out and said, "since you Aiqing want to make peace, make peace according to your meaning. As for the specific content, you discuss and decide. After it is prepared, take it to me."

This sentence, let the ministers mentioned the voice of the heart finally fell down, people kowtow together and shouted: "my king Shengming!"

Yan Chu, who had gone outside the hall, listened to the cry behind him. He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
