Batusu hurriedly came to see Li Chongshan. Li Chongshan had never seen Batusu in such a panic. He knew that something important was going to happen, and he immediately became nervous.

"Hachi is the sinner of Dameng and should be divided into five pieces. Your Majesty, news has come from Jingdong. Hachi's younger brother Hahe led almost all the main forces of Jingdong Road to be wiped out in Muyang, Haizhou. Lin Jianyue's cavalry was also there.

, Son Zhengyi is the biggest traitor, he is the main general who defeated the Hahahan Army, and the total loss of Jingdong Road is inevitable."

Li Chongshan was not as panicked as Batusu at this time, but he was heartbroken at the loss of the main cavalry force. It seemed that he would have to take a defensive stance against Lin Jianyue in a few years. The top priority now was to preserve the elite main force in his hands.

Unable to defeat Lin Jianyue quickly, Li Chongshan already knew that he could only retreat to Hebei, but he was unwilling to do so and hoped to find an opportunity to hit Lin Jianyue hard before leaving.

"Marshal Ba, it is difficult to attack the fortified city. If we withdraw our troops and advance eastward quickly, is there any chance to kill Masayoshi Son first?"

At this time, Batusu couldn't help but admire Li Chongshan. He was indeed a hero. He did not change his expression in the face of the news of a major defeat. Before Lin Jianyue's main force had gathered, he immediately wanted to march eastward to attack Sun Zhengyi. This twist made Batusu

I almost didn't keep up.

It was possible in the past, with the advantage of military resources, but it is definitely not possible now. The eyes of the whole Central Plains are fixed on this army. The journey is so long, and accidents cannot be ruled out along the way. The army of hundreds of thousands cannot hide and hide people. In fact, it is forced.

Logistics probably can't keep up.

With how powerful Lin Jianyue is, how can he watch his army be destroyed? He does not have the courage to go out of the city for a decisive battle now, but he definitely has the courage to follow the army to outflank him. If he cannot defeat Sun Zhengyi quickly, I am afraid not many people will be able to return to Hebei.

, that would be a complete failure.

"Your Majesty, once Hedong is lost, Hebei and Dadu will be threatened, and Guanzhong will also be isolated. The south of the Yellow River is of little significance to us now, and it is not worth the loss to barely preserve it. Clear information has been transmitted, and Pu Jinzhong's Huaidong Army has also joined

Got it

The battle between Sun Zhengyi and Hahe shows that the two armies have merged. Even if they do not reject the city and defend it, they will cause us heavy losses. Lin Jianyue will not ignore it. We are thousands of miles apart. In fact, we cannot defeat Sun Zhengyi quickly.

"

Even with this, Li Chongshan finally lost his composure and kicked the tables in front of him, causing wine and meat to fly everywhere.

Batusu had no choice but to comfort Li Chongshan, so he had to say: "But we can pretend to go east and lure Lin Jianyue's army out. As long as he comes out and is mentally unprepared, even if he cannot be annihilated, we can still severely damage him."

Hearing that there was a way out, Li Chongshan looked better.

But Batusu is absolutely unwilling to let Lin Jianyue come out. Now his morale is low. If there is a decisive battle, Batusu is actually not sure. He only hopes to leave the Central Plains and return to Hebei as soon as possible. With Menghu's strong war potential and the Yellow River front being so long

, it is not impossible that there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

After being in a high position for so many years, how could Batusu not know what Li Chongshan was thinking? His Majesty is eager to save his face and maintain the prestige of his co-Khan, otherwise according to the rules of the past grasslands, the strongest is the king.

It's much better now, and with the most elite army in hand, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry so much. What you should worry about is how to bring this army back intact, and Hachi also has to find a way to hold it down.

But he didn't dare to say it clearly. Being with a king is like being with a tiger. He can fight without saying it. If he is so knowledgeable in politics, can he also become a Khan in the future?

Once the decision was made, Li Chongshan immediately arranged to take action. The entire army withdrew the siege and headed east. The first beacon smoke finally rose in Yancheng.

Tie Qinglin in Xuzhou and Liu Jiahao in Chenzhou immediately began to organize their armies. Unfortunately, a personal letter from Lin Jianyue came immediately, demanding that their respective city defenses be strengthened immediately and that they must not leave the city, especially Liu Jiahao's Chenzhou.

If Li Fei's cavalry came back in time, Lin Jianyue might be able to attack with his entire army for a decisive battle, but there were no ifs in the world.

As long as Lin Jianyue is not in danger, Tie Liu and Tie Liu will naturally obey military orders.

Li Chongshan's army passed by the border of Chenzhou and saw the heavy security, so they did not stop and continued eastward. Unfortunately, until they were about to enter Haozhou in Huaidong, Liu Jiahao did not move and Lin Jianyue did not move. Even the iron green forest of Xuzhou was so separated.

Li Chongshan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, but Batusu was secretly happy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Lin Jianyue's courage is no longer what it used to be. I believe that Sun Zhengyi is pretending to surrender. He could have defeated Hachi long ago and occupied all the Central Plains south of the Yellow River. But until now, our army has

He is still threatening him in the Central Plains, and there is war all over the place. Hachi's Kaifeng Army is basically unscathed. In fact, this is his strategic failure. As long as he starts to fail, failure will be common in the future, which is actually a good thing for Dameng."

Li Chongshan didn't understand that this was Batusu's comforting words. Before he came to the Central Plains, once Sun Zhengyi revealed his identity, was Hachi a fool? Couldn't he run away? Maybe the army on Jingdong Road could be saved.

Besides, if he was still in Hebei and was not contained in the Central Plains, would Liu Jingye have the courage to rebel?

Naturally, Li Chongshan would not say it out loud. Batusu said those words best. This is also a good fig leaf, which can maintain his authority to the greatest extent.

Li Chongshan was still feeling sad. When did he, Li Chongshan, need to be like this? He was the supreme ruler of the Wanli Territory, the best heir to the Golden Family, and he was not the corrupt Ning Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, with the current situation, if we bring the entire army back to Hebei, it will be a victory. I am confident that in five years at most... no, three years, we will return to our heyday. At that time, I will accompany your Majesty to conquer Lin Jianyue again.

, it is impossible for people like Liu Jingye and Sun Zhengyi to exist anymore. Why can Lin Jianyue be so calm again and surely occupy the Central Plains again?"

Three years, five years? How strong was Lin Jianyue at that time? Li Chongshan was unsure. What he was most worried about was that Lin Jianyue would go south to unify the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, should he retreat beyond the Great Wall or go all out to fight Lin Jianyue in the final decisive battle?

Li Chongshan pondered for a while and said slowly: "Even if we return to Hebei, we must harass the Central Plains every year. It is best to hold back Lin Jianyue. The passes in the Taihang Mountains must also be recaptured. Marshal Ba is fully responsible for this matter.

.”

Batusu was overjoyed. From then on, he was truly the number one in the army.

"Your Majesty, Hachi appears to be respectful, but actually he has other thoughts in mind. Do you think he can take advantage of Hachi's defeat..."

Li Chongshan had already made up his mind, shook his head and said: "I know what he wants to do. Now that Guanzhong has been isolated, the Hetao behind it is crucial. Hachi can still fight. He does not want to return to the Hetao to establish a khanate.

Is that possible? Yes, but there is a condition, which is to destroy Lin Jian'an of the Han Dynasty. Forget about Hedong, I will get it myself, otherwise it will be too difficult for him and his face will not look good!"

Batusu showed admiration on his face, and then said: "Hachi can return to Hetao, but the army cannot take away one person... Well, his brother Hahe can be taken away."
