They even discussed privately, aren't they just a bunch of idiots? What kind of climate has it become? Yuanhe has completely defeated the armies of the Qi State, the Southern Dynasties, and the Rouran people. He has almost no defeats in his life, so why worry about these slaves?
?It’s impossible to capsize in the gutter.
This battle is bound to be won.
However, the outcome of things is often contrary to their expectations.
Sure enough, more than half a month later, news came from the front that the Northern Army was defeated.
The government and the public were shocked, and Emperor Hongwen was also furious.
Although he had basically agreed with Empress Dowager Feng's judgment before, deep down in his heart, he still hoped that the Xianbei nobles would be able to live up to their expectations and avoid being too embarrassed and damaging the majesty of the royal family.
Unexpectedly, none of this was a miracle at all.
Empress Dowager Feng has already regarded them very hard.
Like an accurate prophet.
When Yuan He escaped back, it was already late autumn. His horse was injured, his men were injured, and there were only a few people behind him. He almost became a bare commander. One of them was Wang Su. Before he went on the expedition, he specifically asked Emperor Hongwen to be his deputy.
, the purpose was to humiliate Wang Su, let this annoying Han minister lead his horse and carry the flag for him, and witness with his own eyes how he won - according to his original words, he wanted the Han ministers to learn how to be a real war scene.
However, unexpectedly, the war scene this time was completely beyond his imagination.
Wang Su and others did not see his heroic side, but instead saw his embarrassed side.
During this expedition, they encountered angry slaves. Because they were deceived last time, many people were hunted down by local officials and exploited. Their wives and children were sold into slavery. They already hated the imperial army.
Are you willing to be fooled by them again?
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. These slaves, who had nothing but their lives, broke out with amazing fighting power. They rushed and fought fiercely. The troops were divided into three groups and completely surrounded the imperial army. Under repeated attacks from three sides
, the 100,000-strong army led by Yuan He was completely wiped out, leaving only a few deputies such as him and Wang Su, who survived the disaster and escaped by chance.
