"General Bao! You're all right," Ya Yang said to Shen Baoxu with a smile on his horse.
Shen Baoxu pretended to be furious, ignored Yang Yang's greeting with a dark face, and asked directly: "General Yu, what do you mean? You actually stopped me from returning to the country! You must know that the leader of our country is seriously ill! There is turmoil in the country. There is chaos and unrest, and I need to return home as soon as possible!"
"Oh! Is there such a thing? Why haven't I, the general, heard of it?" Ya Yang asked back:
"This is a sudden illness! I just found out. What's wrong? Does General Gu think that I can tell lies?" Shen Baoxu told lies with his eyes open, without blinking, and he pulled a lie from his stomach. , and at the same time, a bad guy came to complain first.
??Yu Yang couldn't help but feel more and more fearful. He knew that Shen Baoxu was determined to leave, but he didn't expect that this old guy would actually find such an honest and upright topic, and he was almost speechless.
Ya Yang almost scraped his stomach until there was not a drop of intestinal oil left, and then he found a rebuttal. "Old general! You suddenly retreated at this time! Doesn't it seem kind? It was your Chu country that brought my Han country in! Now you suddenly retreat! What kind of logic is this? As for the king of your country who is ill, this The news, I think it¡¯s better to wait for the exact news, then it¡¯s not too late to move troops!¡±
Shen Baogu¡¯s counterattack came very quickly and sharply. "What's the matter? When did Yu Cunjun become a member of our Chu country? Are you so familiar with the situation of our Chu country? It doesn't matter if it's a little later. You all know it? Whether I got this news is accurate or not, General Yu knows! I really admire you. Admire it! Admire it!"
Ya Yang was a bit young after all, and he couldn't help but blush at Shen Baoxu's sarcasm.
Shen Baoxu didn't wait for Ya Yang to think of a rebuttal, he had already said with a dark face: "General Yu! Today our king is seriously ill and the country is empty! It is a troubled time now! I am doing this out of necessity. , I will definitely plead guilty to the Marquis of Han in person someday! But if General Yu is still unreasonable now, then I and the fifty thousand men under my command can only say one word to General Yu! I am offended!"
Hearing this, Yao Yang's face immediately changed. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug into his flesh, but Yao Yang didn't notice it yet. Although Ya Yang finally knew that the result was still the same, he still felt unwilling to do so! When did the Han State, which dominates the world, become so cowardly as it is now! But Mu Yang still had to bite the root of his teeth and squeeze out a hole in the knot. "rut!"
Those at the bottom of the Han army didn¡¯t know the details yet. After hearing Yu Yang¡¯s order, a Han military captain couldn¡¯t help but look at Yu Yang and asked: ¡°General! What did you just say!¡±
"Withdraw! Let General Shen return home!" Ya Yang reluctantly smiled at Shen Baoxu, but in the eyes of everyone, this smile was uglier than crying.
"General! Where is the place where our Han army is so powerful, there are people who are so aggrieved!" The captain retorted loudly, no longer caring about the superiority and inferiority of his subordinates.
"Obey the military order!" Ya Yang roared.
????????????????????????????????????????? He knew the hidden meaning of Shen Baogu. If you don't let me, I will lead my troops to attack. Even Shen Baoxu didn't need to lead troops to attack, he just asked 50,000 troops to line up and press forward: At that time, Yao Yang couldn't even think about moving troops:
And at that time, the loss of face was even greater. The dignified Han army was actually forced to retreat by the Chu army that they had beaten to a pulp two years ago. At that time, I was afraid that he would have to commit suicide under the accusations of his countrymen to atone for his sins.
?? Although the Han army, from captains to soldiers, were determined to resist orders, they were still the Han army under the rule of Yang Zilu, and their discipline was not comparable to that of amateur soldiers from ordinary vassal states. The Han army silently retreated to the side of the road. Although the speed was a bit slow, Shen Baogu didn't care. He felt so comfortable!
Shen Baoxu looked at Yang Yang and said jokingly: "General Yu, thank you for your hard work! When we meet someday, I will treat General Yu to a drink!"
"Huh!" When Ya Yang heard this, he was so angry that he almost wanted to explode, and he didn't care about maintaining the relationship that the two sides were not in harmony with. Mu Yang snorted coldly, turned around and rode away. He was afraid that if he took a step too slowly, he would eventually be unable to control himself. The Han soldiers glanced at the Chu army bitterly before retreating behind Yang Yang.
The generals sent by the princes of various countries immediately became excited! The arrogant Han army was forced to retreat by the weak Chu army!
In fact, strictly speaking, the princes' idea is a bit wrong. Although the current Chu army is not powerful in combat, it cannot be said to be weak. After all, the weak defeated the strong by the Han State, and everyone in the Chu State felt uncomfortable. Wouldn't they know their shame and become brave? So strictly speaking, in addition to experience, the current Chu army is also a quite energetic army.
On the contrary, the generals of Chu State were not very good. Ye Gong was good at domestic affairs, but his military skills were mediocre. Although Shen Baoxu is old and strong, he is still old. In addition, he has not been out of the mountain for many years, and he has not changed with the times.Somewhat disjointed. It is even said that his personality is not very compatible with the current Chu army. A sluggish veteran with an energetic team, his combat effectiveness is definitely less than one plus one than two.
Speaking of Cai, Shen Baoxu and Ye Gong now look more like politicians than military strategists.
The next day passed. Lu and Dong Chu sent people to deliver a volume of letters and then retreated back to their countries. The reason is even more ridiculous than Shen Baoxu's, just four words: soldiers are homesick.
But their army was not near the Han army, and the Han army could not stop them even if they wanted to. The special actions of the Dongchu Army made the Han Army particularly angry. Mang Gao even shouted that he would kill Mu Ji:
Fortunately, although Hou Xiong is cunning and indecisive, he still understands some things. Apart from anything else, the other party still dared to withdraw their troops even though they knew Mu Ji was in the Han camp, which at least meant that they didn't care about Mu Ji. Besides, Mu Ji is now the Lord¡¯s woman! If you kill Mang Gao, of course you won't be able to get better in the future, but if we people just watch with cold eyes, I'm afraid it won't be much better either. Although Hou Xiong came forward to stop him, Yang Gao remained unyielding. Finally, Hou Xiong compromised and it was impossible to kill Mu Ji! However, she could be placed under soft confinement, so Hou Xiong sent someone to put Mu Ji under soft confinement in a tent. Mu Ji was not allowed to leave the tent, and at the same time, no one was allowed to approach the tent. Hou Xiong's next order was obviously aimed at Mang Gao.
Not to mention, Hou Xiong really guessed Mang Gao¡¯s thoughts correctly. Mang Gao also tried to sneak into the tent with a sword and kill Mu Ji to vent his anger. It¡¯s a good thing that Hou Xiong was prepared, otherwise Hou Xiong would have had a headache in the future:
After dealing with Mang Gao, Hou Xiong Lijian wrote a letter and sent people to Dongchu quickly, notifying Han Jiading that Han Jiading must stabilize the internal affairs of Dongchu and not cause chaos in Dongchu.
But it is a pity that the letter Hou Xiong sent to Han Jiading was a little late.
In the afternoon of the next day, except for the generals sent by Han and Pu, all the generals from other princely states left. As for the reason why the general of the Zhu State did not leave, it was because now Zhu Yin Gong was only the nominal monarch of the Zhu State, and the real person in power was Ou Bijiang, the high official sent by the Han State. The Zhu State and the Han State were now both prosperous and devastated. How could he dare to leave? The national conditions of the Pu State are similar to those of the Zhu State. The Han State has declined. They dare not call it a kingdom, but they will definitely be suppressed.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the Chu Kingdom, usually when the Han Kingdom was strong, but now Yang Zilu doesn¡¯t know whether he will live or die. Do they dare to go back there? Aren't they afraid of Chu's revenge? It should be noted that they are
Hou Xiong sighed at this, and led his troops to retreat to the gate and city that Han only occupied in Zheng.
On the afternoon of the third day, Chen Yin also came back with his army, but it turned out that there were only 5,000 people left, including 3,000 Zhu soldiers. As for the soldiers of other vassal states, they all left alone under the leadership of their generals.
On the fourth day, Yang Zilu¡¯s condition still did not improve and was gradually getting worse. At the same time, news spread in the south that shocked the world. Han Jiading was defeated by the Chu army! The prince of the Eastern Chu State was deposed, and he was named Chu Fei Gong. Shi Qi and others supported Bai Gong Sheng's eldest son, Wu Xu, who was almost sixteen years old, as the king.
Although it looks like two messages, it is actually just one message. Han Jiading learned that the Chu State dared to withdraw its troops. At the same time, the Chu State who withdrew its troops mobilized heavy troops at the border. Han Jiading immediately became furious and was already determined to attack Chu State for revenge.
Shi Qi sent people to ask for help from Han Jiading, but his attitude was very low, hoping that Han Jiading could lead his troops to resist Chu. Although Han Jiading was somewhat suspicious of Shi Qi's motives at the time, he didn't know the news that Dong Chu had also moved troops. Secondly, Han Jiading adhered to the concept that if you have soldiers in your hands, you have power in your hands. He thinks that even if Shi Qi dares to cause trouble, he has tens of thousands of troops at his disposal, and he is not afraid of how long Shi Qi can survive.
It was precisely because of Fei Jia Ding's contempt that this great defeat was caused. When the Chu army sent out troops, Shi Qi didn't have many soldiers, but he made a surprise attack from behind. Han Jiading was completely unprepared and was attacked by both Chu and Chu, and was defeated. In the end, he had no choice but to escape to Zaiying alone and rely on the support of Pu State to consolidate the territory of the Han River Basin. As for other places, he could not care about it.
Dong Chu and Chu Yuan also tacitly began to send troops to seize the territory. However, Dong Chu and Chu State seemed to have clear rules for seizing the territory. It was not about who was faster or who had more troops. Obviously because the powerful Han State is nearby, they are still in a cooperative relationship for the time being.
There is no news worse than this news!
Mang Gao, who had always been the most reckless, finally realized how powerful he was and sat on the horse without saying a word.
Ya Yang gritted his teeth and walked around helplessly. Luo Shougang, the younger brother of Wei Kong's father, the commander-in-chief of the flag country, was sitting on a horse on one side, as if covered with ants. He could not sit, stand, or walk. The expression on his face was as if his wife was undergoing surgery.It¡¯s normal to give birth to a son in the house.
Hou Xiong sighed, broke the solemn atmosphere, and asked the quartermaster on the side: "How much food do we have now?"
"There are only five days left!" the quartermaster lowered his head and said helplessly.
"Why are there so few? Didn't Di send someone out to grab the food?" Hou Xiong said the same thing, and was immediately taken aback, and his face became extremely ugly. Five days! There was only five days of food left! Not to mention being in enemy territory now, even if all the princes were released and Hou Xiong and the others could come and go freely, Hou Xiong and the others would not have enough food to return to Han:
"The people of Zheng are all clearing the country. They say they are robbing food, but they are just hunting and gathering wild vegetables!" the quartermaster smiled bitterly.
"We can only break out of the encirclement!" Ya Yang took over the words before Hou Xiong could speak, and said resolutely. After saying that, he looked at Hou Xiong and said decisively: "Zuo Sima, you can't hesitate any more this time!" Hou Xiong smiled bitterly and asked: "The problem is that all the way back is exhausted, where can we break out? ?¡±
"Let's go to Song Dynasty!" Ya Yang hesitated and said.
"Song Kingdom?" Hou Xiong sneered and said, "I'm afraid they are thinking about how to carve flesh from our Han Kingdom now!"
Hou Xiong¡¯s words were not nonsense. Although the Song Dynasty only left on the third day, after they left, the army immediately stationed in Pengcheng, an important town in the southeast. That gesture was too obvious, and it was clear that he was peeking into the land of Donghai County and Shouchun County.
Yu Yang sighed and said: "It is better to go to the Song Kingdom than to go to the Eastern Chu State! The Song Kingdom is only less than a hundred miles away from the Zhu Kingdom, and we have a support at least! And the Song Kingdom has not yet broken up with the Han Kingdom. Losing face is better than going to Dongchu! Maybe the Song Dynasty will care about losing the Han Dynasty and will not attack along the way! Even if it attacks, I guess the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers will have to struggle a lot. At least we are safe in the first half of the journey. But Dong Chu is fighting all the way! Without the support of scabies, if we start a fight with the Dong Chu army, it will be a question whether one person can break through and return to Han!"
Although Yang Yang's words are not very pleasant, the victory is real. Now that the Han army has reached such a dangerous situation, it can only choose the lesser of two evils.
Luo Shou couldn't help but said: "Zuo Sima, there is no place for the general to speak here, but please Zuo Sima, please don't forget that now we are deeply trapped in the territory of Zheng State, everything must be decided as soon as possible! Otherwise, I am afraid that Zheng State will The army is coming!"
Hou Xiong said the same thing, sighed, and was about to speak.
A soldier rushed in regardless, shouting in a horrified voice: "Report! Zheng's 40,000-strong army came from the south! They are only eighty miles away from here!"
"Why did Zheng Jun react so quickly this time!" Hou Xiong couldn't help being surprised.
As soon as Hou Xiong finished speaking, another soldier broke in, and the hearts of everyone in the room suddenly sank. "Report! An army of 20,000 troops is coming from the direction of Nanzheng! It's about fifty miles away from here now!"
Everyone in the house couldn't help but turn pale. They looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts! Seriously, don¡¯t talk about ghosts at night, and don¡¯t talk about people during the day! This person said Zheng Guoren, Zheng Guoren came! Now it¡¯s really worse!
Everyone in the house looked at Hou Xiong. Although they didn't say anything, they just had the same idea. What should I do? Should we defend for a period of time and break out after consuming a certain amount of Zheng's army, or should we break out now:
But no matter what the method is, Hou Xiong is very careful. The former is prepared, and maybe he can seize a batch of grain from Zheng Jun; the latter is better because of speed, but in such a hasty breakout, he will definitely not be able to bring the grain. How much, this means that the next journey will be more difficult.
What should we do?
Hou Xiong couldn't help but lamented, how great it would be if the Lord were there! By the way, if the Lord is here, what will he do?
