The army led by Qin Yangming finally retreated after being stationed in the north of Xingzhou City for three days. At the same time, the tense situation in Nanyang Water Village also eased. The Yongjiang Navy led by Li Yongfu voluntarily evacuated. The news that Hu Xiaotian was named the King of Zhenhai came within a short time.
Within a few days, the news had spread all over the world. Some said that Hu Xiaotian and Princess Yongyang had settled their feud. Some said that Hu Xiaotian's grievances were finally redressed. Some said that the Yong court was forced to adopt the appeasement policy to stabilize Hu Xiaotian under pressure. Some even said that
There is no enemy country between Hu Xiaotian and Princess Yongyang at all. All the previous incidents were simply illusions deliberately created by them. There are different opinions. In short, everyone has reached a consensus on one thing, that is, Hu Xiaotian and Dakang have reunited.
The plan was not as good as the change. It was because of this pressure that the Dayong side had to retreat. If they insisted on attacking Xingzhou, then what they would face would be the joint efforts of Hu Xiaotian and Dakang. In fact, Emperor Xue Daohong of Dayong was attacking Xingzhou.
Xingzhou's attitude was not firm on this point. If Li Chenzhou had not strongly advocated the capture of Xingzhou, he would not have taken the initiative to start this war.
Severe winter is approaching, and this will be the coldest winter in Dayong this year. Although the war in the north has temporarily entered a winter break, the Black Hu people have not stopped increasing their troops. They have continued to expand their strength with Yonglan Pass as the center.
, this indicates that there will definitely be another war when the ice and snow melt next spring.
To launch two wars at the same time, it is obviously an unwise choice to make enemies of the two powerful neighboring countries in the north and south. At this time, an assassination occurred in Dayong that shocked the whole country. Yuan Jiang, deputy commander of the imperial guards, together with ten
Two guards on duty attempted to assassinate Emperor Xue Daohong of Dayong. Although the assassination failed, Xue Daohong was frightened, and a large-scale investigation was launched. Because this incident was so involved, nearly a hundred people were arrested.
He was jailed for investigation. This assassination also made Xue Daohong return his main attention to the country, making him realize that his regime was not yet stable.
Although Xingzhou Guo Guangbi lost his base, it was a last resort for him. If he insisted on staying and waiting for him, he would be annihilated. Relying on the military rations provided by Dayong, he headed west, with the main force
Go to Jicheng and use it as a base to expand westward. At least you can get a chance to breathe and get out of the dilemma of being outflanked by Dakang, Dayong and Hu Xiaotian.
After this war, Su Yuchi made everyone around him aware of his strong fighting power. Now that Hu Xiaotian has accepted the title of King of Zhenhai, a stone in his heart has finally fallen.
Although Hu Xiaotian did not get Yunyang as he wished, Xingzhou can be regarded as a big gain. The significance of getting Xingzhou is not only an extra city, but also means that he has controlled the entire lower reaches of the Yongjiang River and is sitting on Xingzhou.
Going east can contain the Nanyang Water Village, and going south can oppress Yunyang. It should be said that Hu Xiaocai is the biggest gainer from this war.
The biggest loss was on the Xichuan side. Li Yan came with a force of 100,000 troops and was completely defeated by Su Yuchi despite having an absolute advantage in military strength. Although Li Yan put the main responsibility on Yan Hucheng, he still felt that in his heart
Knowing that as a coach it would be difficult to let go of the relationship, he led the remaining troops to retreat to Yangpu, southwest of Yunyang, while sending people to Xizhou to report the details and wait for Li Tianheng's final decision.
On the upper floor of Yuejiang in Xizhou, General Li Tianheng of Xichuan stood there quietly, with his adopted son Yang Haoran guarding behind him. The news of Yunyang's defeat had already reached here, but this war that Li Tianheng had high hopes for proved that he
The army was vulnerable to Su Yuchi. Li Tianheng thought of Zhang Ziqian. If Zhang Ziqian was still alive, he should have a way to resolve the current crisis and help him get out of the predicament.
These soldiers in Xichuan have not fought for too long. Zhang Ziqian once said that raising an army takes a thousand days to use it for a while, but raising an army is not about pampering, but training in constant battles. The Battle of Yunyang proved that his words were absolutely correct.
He was too conservative in handling many things. If he had listened to Zhang Ziqian and captured Yunyang when Dakang was at his weakest, or captured Hongmuchuan as soon as possible, he would not have ended up in the current situation where the north-south access road was blocked by others.
Li Tianheng sighed and said, "Haoran, is the news you got true?"
Yang Haoran nodded and said: "It's completely true, Hu Xiaotian has accepted Dakang's canonization and became the King of Zhenhai."
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Li Tianheng's lips. As luck would have it, he remembered that when he was on his fiftieth birthday, Hu Xiaotian came on behalf of Dakang and canonized himself as a king with a different surname. He decisively refused. Now the title of king with a different surname has fallen.
Was it already destined to be on Hu Xiaotian’s head? In just a few years, Hu Xiaotian’s rise was so rapid, as bright as a new star. He took a few steps forward and came to the railing. The cold wind of winter came.
Li Tianheng couldn't help but shudder at the cold and wet breath on the river. He felt cold from the bottom of his heart. He wrapped his black cloak tightly, and his burly body seemed to be wrapped in a thick cloud.
"What do you think?" Li Tianheng's eyes were as dim as the sky.
Yang Haoran said: "Dakang cleared Hu Xiaotian's name and gave him the title of king with a different surname. It was just a means of appeasement. It does not mean that the gap between them has been completely eliminated. Hu Xiaotian is very ambitious. With his current strength,
There is no need to act based on Dakang’s face. The reason why I agreed was because I was able to judge the situation at hand.”
"What's the situation in front of you?" When Li Tianheng asked this question, he suddenly felt sad in his heart. He couldn't help but think of Zhang Ziqian again. This was the question he asked Zhang Ziqian most often in the past. Now Zhang Ziqian has passed away, and he can't help but think of Zhang Ziqian again.
I am also missing one of my most important mentors and friends.
Yang Haoran said: "My child dares to say a few words. I hope my father will correct me if I am wrong." He was adopted by Li Tianheng as his adopted son because he exposed Zhao Yanjiang and Lin Zefeng's rebellion. He also valued him very much. In just a few years, he also
He became one of the young generals that Li Tianheng relied on most. After Zhang Ziqian was killed, Yang Haoran became the most important counselor around Li Tianheng. Because he had a clear mind and a strong sense of the overall situation, Li Tianheng valued him even more than his own son.
Li Tianheng nodded and signaled Yang Haoran to just speak out his opinion boldly.
Yang Haoran said: "In the Battle of Yunyang, Su Yuchi fully demonstrated his powerful combat effectiveness, especially the Sky-shattering Crossbow and the Turtle Armor Chariot. These two things probably also frightened Hu Xiaotian. His earliest target should be Yunyang, which is exactly
Realizing how powerful Su Yuchi was, he just changed his goal and changed it to seizing Xingzhou. Guo Guangbi's defeat was a last resort. If he insisted on staying in Xingzhou, even if no one attacked him, he and his men would still face starvation.
Death is the outcome, so he can only move westward in search of hope."
Li Tianheng snorted coldly. He was extremely disdainful of Guo Guangbi. This time Guo Guangbi agreed to join forces with his side to attack Yunyang, but in the end, he did not send a single soldier. Li Tianheng blamed Guo Guangbi for his side's disastrous defeat.
Yang Haoran said: "As for Dayong, they originally wanted to support Guo Guangbi behind the scenes in order to get a share of the Yunyang battle. Guo Guangbi is also a two-faced person. On the surface, he reached an alliance with us and agreed to jointly attack Yunyang, but secretly
They also reached an agreement with Dayong. I think even if they capture Yunyang, they may not hand over Yunyang to us as promised. Dayong should provide Guo Guangbi with a lot of food and grass. If it were not for them, Guo Guangbi would not
There is no ability to complete this transfer."
Li Tianheng raised his hand and slapped the railing hard to vent his frustration.
Yang Haoran said: "Da Yong sent so much grain and grass in vain. Not only did they not get Yunyang, they also failed to capture Xingzhou. Judging from their previous troop mobilization, they should have wanted to advance by water and attack Xingzhou by force, but Dakang chose not to.
At this time, Hu Xiaotian was rewarded, and Hu Xiaotian accepted the reward due to the situation."
Li Tianheng nodded. Yang Haoran's analysis of the situation was thorough and reasonable. He frowned and said, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Yang Haoran said: "It is no longer possible to attack Yunyang by force. We suffered serious casualties this time. The only plan now is to withdraw our troops, recuperate, and then plan for a bigger plan."
Li Tianheng pursed his lips. He had rejected Zhang Ziqian's suggestion to go out to Sichuan on the pretext of recuperating and recuperating, which led to the current predicament. After Zhang Ziqian's death, the situation took a turn for the worse. Only then did he realize that his indecision was the reason.
The real cause of the predicament. If we continue to be conservative, Xichuan will only decline day by day. The south and northwest, which are the two most important economic and trade roads in Xichuan, are now in the hands of others. Dakang has already blocked his eastern part.
The only border left now is the west.
Yang Haoran said: "Father, although the exits to the east, north, and south of Xichuan are blocked, there is still the west. The current plan should vigorously develop the relationship with Sharjah, and Xichuan and Sharjah are originally in-laws, and they should be related to each other.
Support each other.”
Li Tianheng shook his head indifferently and said: "The Sharjah people can't be trusted. They have been coveting the land in the Central Plains. Do you think they will give help in times of trouble like this?" A wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "They will only add insult to injury!
"
Yang Haoran said: "The situation in Xichuan is not as pessimistic as the father commander imagined. Although Yunyang was defeated and morale was somewhat affected, it did not damage the foundation of Xichuan. Even if the Sharjah people are not trustworthy, the Hongmuchuan side is not untrustworthy.
Regarding the opportunity for breakthrough, although Hu Xiaotian ostensibly controls Hongmuchuan, not all the Hongyi tribe may be convinced, and the South Vietnam Kingdom will not be willing to see Hongmuchuan fall into his hands. As long as we search patiently, we will definitely find an opportunity for breakthrough.
