The northern border of Yuyang County.
On the vast official road, the Xianbei army began to stop and rest. The soldiers of this Xianbei army are now in a miserable state, and mourning is everywhere, and the soldiers have endless sorrow on their faces.
There were even some people in the crowd who looked sad.
This person¡¯s name is Tuoba Hong, and he is the coach of this battle. Tuoba Hong was the eldest son of King Tuoba Ying of Xianbei. He was appointed as the prince and the heir of Xianbei. Tuobahong was in his early thirties, in the prime of life, and had a high influence in the Xianbei royal court.
This time, it was Tuoba Hong¡¯s plan to go south to attack Yuyang County.
When Tuobahong does things, he always likes to make decisions before taking action. This time he went south to attack Yuyang County. Not only did Xianbei send troops, he also arranged for people to lobby Zhu Huai earlier. That's why Tuoba Hong held back Wang Zongxi in Yuyang County, and Zhu Huai captured the remaining counties in Yuyang County.
Originally Tuoba Hong¡¯s plan was good, so he obtained Tuoba Ying¡¯s consent. In the view of Tuoba Ying and Tuoba Hong, as long as all the counties behind Yuyang County are lost, Wang Zongxi's Yuyang County will definitely be in chaos.
It is a pity that even if the counties in Yuyang County fell and Wang Zongxi was attacked from both sides, Yuyang County was still able to defend it without leakage. Both the soldiers and the people in the city fought to the death and blocked the attack forcefully.
If that¡¯s all it is, then that¡¯s it.
At least, the Xianbei army is not in trouble.
Tuoba Hong did not expect that he asked Tuoba Yu to threaten Wang Qi, hoping to get food and weapons from Wang Qi. However, not only did the threat fail, but he was killed by Wang Qi. In addition, even Tuoba Longcheng was defeated and killed.
They were killed and fled all the way, not daring to stay. Only now that they were sure that they were no longer pursuing their pursuers did they stop to rest.
Today, the army is still counting its losses.
Time passed little by little. Tuoba Hong waited for a long time before the responsible general came to Tuoba Hong and reported: "Prince, when we first attacked Yuyang County, there were 30,000 Xianbei troops."
"The follow-up attack on Yuyang County resulted in some losses, leaving more than 26,000 elite soldiers. In today's attack on Yuyang County, the army that retreated along with it has only more than 15,000 people left, which is enough for one In case more than a thousand people disappear.¡±
"Although during the retreat, many people must have escaped and dispersed, and would later return to the army. However, it can be roughly inferred that the number of people we died in battle may be six to seven thousand."
"We have suffered too much in this battle."
The general's expression was full of worry, because the losses in this battle were extremely huge.
After Tuoba Hong heard the news, his expression became even more gloomy. He waved his hand for the general to rest, then looked at a scribe beside him and asked, "Teacher, what should we do now?"
The scribe¡¯s name was Yang Yanzong.
He was nearly fifty years old, with a skinny figure and was already skinny and skinny. He was less than fifty years old, and his hair was already white, and his face was covered with wrinkles and folds, making him look extremely old.
Because he is skinny, with sunken eye sockets and protruding cheekbones, he gives people an extremely scary feeling.
Yang Yanzong was not from Xianbei, but from Jizhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When he was young, Yang Yanzong served as a county magistrate. Because of corruption and bending the law, he was punished for violating the law. As soon as Yang Yanzong got the news, he gave up everything and fled to Xianbei alone, and then lived in Xianbei.
He had a very hard time in Xianbei in the early years. Later, he got the opportunity to stay with Tuobahong and teach Tuobahong about the Central Plains, and his life gradually improved.
In the end, he became Tuoba Hong¡¯s confidant.
Yang Yanzong thought for a while and said: "Tuoba Longcheng was killed, Tuoba Yu was killed, and the army was damaged. In this battle, we lost almost all our strength. The most important thing is Tuoba Longcheng, who He was the only great master of Xianbei and the key to Xianbei¡¯s rise, but now he is dead.¡±
After a pause, Yang Yanzong continued: "Originally, the prince's position was as stable as Mount Tai, and the princes did not dare to compete with you. This time Tuoba Longcheng and Tuoba Yu were killed. As soon as you return to the royal court, you may be attacked. The overwhelming criticism will make even the king angry. Therefore, your position will be in jeopardy all of a sudden."
Tuoba Hong clenched his fists and said, "Teacher, I know the situation. What I want to talk about now is what to do. We need a solution strategy."
Yang Yanzong said: "We can only use the bitter flesh trick."
Tuoba Hong said: "What kind of cruel trick?"
Yang Yanzong said: "The prince withdrew his troops and pretended to be sick as soon as he returned to the royal court. In this way, even if the whole court wanted to target the prince, the prince was already seriously ill and fell down, so they could no longer target the prince at will."?¡±
?? Tuoba Hong shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate. There is no initiative at all in such a plan. We respond passively, or even let others slaughter us. By then, we will not be able to control our own life and death, which is meaningless."
Yang Yanzong said: "If you don't adopt such a method, the prince will not be able to escape accountability. If Tuoba Yu dies, he is dead. Even if he is smart, it will have no impact. The importance of a great master like Tuoba Longcheng is immeasurable. There is no substitute at all. Under such a situation, the king will definitely be furious, and everyone in the court will also be angry. Is it possible that the prince is ready to plead guilty? "
Tuoba Hong said: "Teacher, is there really no other way?"
Yang Yanzong thought about it for a while, then said again: "Actually, there is another way."
Tuoba Hong said: "What can we do?"
At this moment, Tuoba Hong was like a drowning man grasping at straws, looking at Yang Yanzong with hope.
The current situation is too unfavorable.
Tuoba Hong has been the prince for more than ten years. Although he has good prestige, the current Xianbei King Tuoba Ying is not in good health, and the princes in the country are also ready to take action and have their own ideas. In order to consolidate his power, Tuoba Hong planned this move with Yang Yanzong. Unexpectedly, I didn't reap the benefits and made myself into a mess.
Yang Yanzong's eyes were sharp and he said: "The king has four sons, including the prince. Except for the prince, the other three are all adults. If they all die, even if the prince is held accountable, it doesn't matter, because only You are the heir. So my plan is for the prince to go back and plead guilty, and at the same time arrange for the assassination of the other three."
Hiss!
Tuoba Hong took a breath of cold air.
I suddenly became nervous.
Assassinating the remaining three people is not a good idea, because once they are all dead, it will definitely cause a huge shock. Especially behind the three of them, each has its own power. As long as the three of them die, a series of conflicts will arise.
Tuoba Hong hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate, this is extremely inappropriate. This approach is tantamount to asking for death. Even if it leaks even a little bit, I can't handle it even if I am the prince."
After a pause, Tuoba Hong said: "Teacher, is there any other way?"
Yang Yanzong sighed and said: "Prince, if you don't choose this strategy, then you can only choose the next strategy."
There was a look of surprise in Tuoba Hong's eyes, and he quickly asked: "What's the next step?"
Yang Yanzong said: "Quietly lead the troops back, and then bloodbath the royal court, forcing the king to abdicate. As long as you hold the power, it doesn't matter if a Tuoba Dragon City dies. As long as you are the king, everything will be easy."
There was a light in Tuoba Hong's eyes. He was facing accountability, and he did not want to be targeted. So after Tuoba Hong heard Yang Yanzong's words, he immediately started thinking.
There is even some movement.
¡°Anyway, he also has his own strength, so he has the possibility of taking action. It's just that a sudden coup is extremely difficult, and it can't be decided in just one or two sentences.
Yang Yanzong and Tuobahong have been together for more than ten years, and they have long known Tuobahong's temperament. As soon as he saw Tuoba Hong's appearance, he knew that Tuoba Hong was already moving.
Yang Yanzong sighed: "Prince, if you really choose this path, there will be no turning back. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your body will be gone."
Tuoba Hong said: "That's it."
His eyes were flashing and he looked extremely tough. He had no extra choice.
This is all we can do.
Yang Yanzong said: "In that case, I will make some arrangements."
"Report!"
At this moment, soldiers suddenly ran from the rear. They were escaping soldiers who were still rushing back from the rear. The soldier ran back and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, the pursuers from Yuyang County are coming, retreat!"
Boom! !
Tuoba Hong was confused.
Are there any pursuers?
He had already fled to the border of Yuyang County before ordering him to stop and rest. Why were there still pursuers?
???????????????????? Boom! !
At this moment, the deafening sound of horse hooves came from far and near. Even under the trampling of horse hooves, the whole ground trembled slightly.
After Tuoba Hong woke up, he was extremely nervous and immediately shouted: "Withdraw troops, continue to retreat!"
He no longer thinks about how to mutiny.
Now we have to flee. We must first escape the Yuyang County army¡¯s pursuit, and then we can consider returning to the royal court to launch a mutiny. If you can't even complete this step, let alone other aspects.
Tuoba Hong quickly got on his horse, greeted Yang Yanzong, and quickly ordered a retreat. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It can't be completed, let alone other aspects.
