My father got angry, and Yu Xi suddenly lost his temper.
The Hou secret who was following him frowned and said: "General, it is clear that Major General Yu just wanted to ask the reason for withdrawing the troops. After all, we might have been able to kill the Turks by the river at that time."
Yu Yi looked over coldly but said nothing, while Xu Deyan strode forward and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the tent: "A powerful crossbow cannot penetrate Lu silk, let alone a human being! Come and see what it looks like outside.
"
Yu Xi and Hou Mi were a little surprised. They came angrily along the way and saw a lot, but they didn't take it to heart in the end. At this time, they were surprised to find that many of the soldiers who were charging forward with vigor and vigor just now, now
They were already slumped on the ground, and the few who could stand were walking forward step by step.
The soldiers who came up later were carrying things, and the rescued Han women and children were also helping to make fires and cook.
When the last breath was exhaled, all that was left for everyone was exhaustion.
The Han army that rushed from south to north was not bad. At least their original task was to take over the previous soldiers on the city to prepare to fight the Turks, so they were full of energy. As for the Han army that rushed from north to south, the previous
The snow march had already consumed a lot of their physical strength, otherwise it would not have taken them so long to get around the not-so-long river valley.
After all, being in the Gobi wilderness is completely different from being in a river valley.
And after the attack was launched tonight, they ran all the way from south to north with almost no stops. It can be said that they chased the Turks all the way. Now they have obviously consumed their last bit of energy. They were still able to fight because of that before.
He was supported by a sense of resentment, and now after withdrawing his troops, he was so tired that he couldn't even stand up.
The physical strength of this army has been completely squeezed out.
If you keep rushing forward, someone might actually get killed.
Yu Xi lowered the curtain silently. He knew that his idea was correct, but the reality was here, and Yu Yi and Xu Deyan's considerations were also correct.
If you want to blame... then blame the Turks for running too fast.
"If you can't catch up, then you can't catch up. This is not a good thing." Cao Zhong said slowly at this time, which relaxed the atmosphere in the camp a little, "The Turks going west is in line with our wishes.
"
"This?" Yu Xi was startled.
Secretary Hou, who has a clearer understanding of the Han's arrangements in the northwest, has already understood: "Yes, we have also gathered a large number of troops in Wuwei, and we can rely on the Great Wall and beacons to build a camp step by step, so there is nothing to worry about. Continue from Wuwei to
The West is no longer under our control, so it might be a good thing to cause some trouble for the Tuyuhun people."
Although Tuyuhun now maintains an alliance with the Han Dynasty to jointly fight against the Turks, everyone knows that this is actually just a last resort under the pressure of the Turks. After all, both the Tuyuhun people and the Han Dynasty are definitely responsible for the Hexi Corridor and the broader Western Regions.
Everyone covets them, but no one has the ability to control all of Hexi now. They can only maintain the current situation where the Han Dynasty is in Wuwei on the east side and Tuyuhun is in Shazhou on the west side. In fact, when the Turks are defeated, both sides will have to fight.
Great war.
Historically, there were wars with Tuyuhun in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent all his troops to conquer Tuyuhun.
Now that it is difficult for the Han Dynasty to focus on the northwest, it would not be a bad thing to be able to use these Turks to cause some trouble for Tuyuhun.
"But since the Turks can cross the river to the west here, they can naturally come back in the south. We must take this into consideration," Xu Deyan said immediately. The Turks will definitely not forget grudges, "Since the Turks' livestock and so on
If they are all left here, then even if they go south directly from Huile City, they will not be able to threaten Lingwu with their cavalry, so it is time for us to retreat south as soon as possible."
Everyone agrees on this point. The purpose of holding on to Lingwu and Huile was to block the footsteps of the Turks, or rather to block the footsteps of such a large number of Turks who suddenly poured into the northwest, even if
They just want to eat, and they will definitely bring disaster to the entire northwest.
Now that the Turks have no labor and livestock, they are just a group of wanderers. Even if they can flee into the northwest, they are not afraid of them. After all, farming and herding in the northwest are different from those in the Central Plains. Most of them are military settlements.
The villages are connected to each other and rely on each other. Even if a single Turkic cavalry rushes in, it will be difficult to cause any damage in a short period of time.
Moreover, the Turks were defeated in this battle. Even if they return to the east bank of the river, there is little chance of continuing southward. Think about it from another perspective, if they are the Turks who are really losing their families at this time.
Ashbu probably wouldn't take the risk of turning around, so it would be better to catch the autumn wind before Tuyuhun could react.
Therefore, judging from the current war situation, it is inevitable that the army will return south. All we need to do is strengthen the reconnaissance along the river.
What's more, the army will stay in the north for a long time. The consumption of people eating horse chews has almost consumed all the food transported from Shuzhong. There is also an urgent problem that needs to be solved, that is, Yang Jian is at Xiaoguan and Pinggao in the northwest.
Troops were stationed in the county. If the Han Dynasty occupied Lingwu County, then Lingwu County and the northwest counties controlled by the Han Dynasty would be intervening.
No matter what the court thought, and whether Yang Jian planned to actively cause trouble, it was obviously not a good choice for the army to stay in Lingwu. The capture of this battle must be transported to the south as soon as possible.
After all, Lingwu is still too far north, and an isolated city hangs outside the Great Wall, which is not conducive to advance or retreat. The focus of Dahan's current business is still the triangle formed by Tianshui, Anding and Wuwei.
Of course, now that this issue has been taken into consideration, it is natural to talk about another more important issue, which is the ownership of Yu Yi and even the entire Lantian Yu clan and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Yang Jian is obviously ready to cut off the strength of a strong man.
It was obvious that Liang Rui was sent here not to give Yu Yi any chance to sway.
Liang Rui is not only Yu Yi's old boss, he is also known for his decisiveness in killing. If Yu Yi wants to find a position to sit on the fence between the two parties, Liang Rui will definitely draw a clear line with him decisively and then close the door firmly.
The gate of Xiaoguan.
And if Yu Yi wants to return to the embrace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at this time and continue to be a loyal minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, then what awaits him will definitely be to be demobilized and return to his hometown. Even the entire Lantian Yu family will inevitably be devastated because of this. After all, the relationship between the two parties has now reached a very important stage.
Due to the sensitive situation, Yang Jian will definitely not let Yu Yi take on important responsibilities again, let alone Yu Xi and others who are closer to the Han army. After all, they have truly fought side by side with the Han army. (To be continued)
