It is not to blame that the staff of the Taiwei Mansion of the Han Dynasty were incompetent and could not analyze Yu Wenzhao's true intention, because in fact, even Yu Wenzhao himself did not know where to go.
Instead of attacking Henan City, the Han army turned to besiege Luoyang, and even actually "besieged" it, which immediately put Yuwen Zhao in a very embarrassing situation.
If there is no rescue, although Luoyang has a high city, deep pools, and numerous soldiers and horses, facing the powerful equipment of the Han army and the large number of troops, it can be defended without seeing it, not to mention that the entire land of Henan has only
If Yu Wenzhao showed no sign of any kind, he would naturally be said to be "not distinguishing between public and private affairs" and "not saving people at the sight of death", especially since many of Yu Wenzhao's subordinates were Yuchi Jiong's old troops.
When besieged, they are still very inclined to rescue.
But when it comes to rescue, the question becomes, how to rescue?
The reason why Yu Wenzhao's defeated generals can survive until now is because Li Xingchen was in a hurry to attack Luoyang City and didn't take them seriously at all. That's right, people don't take you seriously anymore. If you rush forward again, this is not to kill yourself with an egg against a stone.
What?
For Yu Wenzhao, the most he could do to rescue Luoyang was to die together with Yu Chi Jiong. To be honest, Yu Wenzhao didn't want to die with Yu Chi Jiong. He even thought in his heart that Yu Chi Jiong's loyalty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty was out of the question, so no matter what
Whether he goes to Luoyang or not, Yuchijiong will rebel at some point. Of course, he may have rebelled now, but Yu Wenzhao has not received the news yet.
For a long time, the Han Dynasty's method for dealing with Yuchi Jiong was to flood him with rumors. Since Yuchi Jiong didn't know what he was doing and didn't want to switch to the Han Dynasty, there was no need for Li Xingchen to leave Baipao idle. Hearing words twice may not have any effect, but hearing them more often
It was effective. It was obvious that Yu Wenzhao was the listener of the rumors spread by the Han Dynasty for a long time, so he really didn't have much confidence in Yu Chi Jiong, especially after seeing Yu Chi Jiong's performance outside Hangu Pass.
It can be said that the Battle of Hangu Pass caused Yuwenzhao to lose his last bit of confidence in Yuchijiong.
Therefore, Yu Wenzhao's limited support and trust at the beginning turned into questioning Yuchi Jiong, and even specifically controlled Yuchi Jiong's army.
But now Yuwenzhao has to face a very embarrassing problem.
The Han army went directly to attack Luoyang. Luoyang City sent people to ask for help, saying that Yuchi Jiong and Wang Qian were determined to defend and asked for support. In contrast, Henan City was also surrounded by the Han army, and there was even a detachment of followers.
The partial division of the Han army coming from the direction of Xichuan simply passed through Henan City and did not come to Henan City to cause trouble. Who was Yu Wenzhao or Yu Chijiong who had an affair with the Han Dynasty? If not for Yu Wenzhao's royal status.
Here, I'm afraid everyone has to be suspicious.
But no matter whether his subordinates doubted it or not, Yu Wenzhao could not wait to die here.
Therefore, he could only choose to lead his army to risk going north and cross the Valley River first. The Han army was gathering in the direction of Mang Mountain and it was too late to stop Yu Wenzhao. Yu Wenzhao then had to choose whether to lead his army to continue going north to Mengjin.
Cross the river and escape, or attack Mang Mountain eastward to reduce the pressure on the Luoyang defenders.
In his own opinion, it is of course the former. Yuchi can't be trusted. The Han army is not bad at just pretending to defend Luoyang and then surrounding them for reinforcements. The Southern Barbarians are the most cunning, so it is better to save the Zhou Dynasty as much as possible.
There is vitality.
But according to the thinking of most generals, it is of course the latter. Originally, most of the officers and soldiers in the army were from the Central Plains, and they were Yuchi Jiong's old troops. If they abandoned Luoyang and did not save him and went north to cross the river, wouldn't this mean that they had to abandon Yuchi Jiong and return to China?
Leaving one's hometown, of course, cannot be justified due to emotion or reason. If Yu Wenzhao hadn't worked hard to restrain the troops these days, I don't know how many people would have simply ran away.
Yu Wenzhao is also very confused now. If he doesn't express his views on the army, I am afraid that even if he pulls this army all the way back to the north, the army's fighting spirit will be almost gone. An army without fighting spirit has no need to exist at all.
, Facing the Han army's powerful armaments and ever-high-spirited murderous intent, such an army was vulnerable.
But Yu Wenzhao was really unwilling to go to Luoyang.
"Your Highness, after passing Gushui and further north is Mengjin. Mengjin is a large ferry. As long as the Nanman people don't deliberately collect ships to block the ferry, it will be easy for us to cross the river." Fei Yejinli came to Yuwenzhao and whispered.
.
Yu Wenzhao was silent for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't we going to Luoyang?"
"Hasn't His Highness seen through the conspiracy between Yuchi Jiong and the Nanman? It's obvious that Yuchijiong has planned to defect to the Nanman. Otherwise, how could it be possible for the Nanman to form a blockade on Luoyang City so easily? Luoyang City is surrounded, and the Nanman's
No one knows what happened during the siege. They only need to show off every day to make our scouts wandering around the periphery think that the battle is still going on, especially since Yuchi Jiong and Wang Qian gave up in just one day.
Outside the country, it is even more difficult to find out whether the fighting inside the country is actually going on."
Fei Yejinli shook his head and said, obviously quite confident in his guess: "So if we go to Luoyang now, we are playing into the hands of Li Xingchen and Yuchi and jumping into their trap. We really can't escape.
Already."
Perhaps because he felt that his guess was so correct, Fei Yejinli couldn't help but raise his voice for a moment, which immediately attracted the attention of many generals nearby.
"Your Highness, this trip to the north is for the purpose of saving Luoyang and rescuing old General Yuchi!"
"Your Highness, don't listen to this person's slander. He is a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He fled in a hurry in the battle of Tongguan, and he was defeated first in the battle of Hangu Pass!"
"Your Highness, if the old general hadn't sacrificed his life outside Hangu Pass, how could we have survived? Even if there was no bone burial ground at this time, I'm afraid we would already be prisoners of the Southern Barbarians."
"Old General Yuchi's loyalty to Zhou Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon. Your Highness will not save you until you see it!"
Fei Yejinli was pointed at his nose and scolded by so many people, and he suddenly said in a cold voice: "The enemy is strong and we are weak. Facing the southern barbarian firearms, in order to preserve our strength, retreat is inevitable. If it weren't for a certain person who retreated with Tongguan soldiers and horses,
Come back and tell Yuchi Jong some personal experience, I am afraid that the battle at Hangu Pass will be even more tragic than what you have experienced!"
"Hey, you coward, how dare you argue that you still have merit in the Battle of Hangu Pass?!" A grumpy general couldn't help shouting, and he picked up the knife and tried to fight Fei Yejinli. The surrounding people
When several generals saw Fei Yejin, they quickly clapped their horses and shrank behind Yu Wenzhao, and then they hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop him.
It would not be good to bump into King Zhao.
Yuwenzhao couldn't help but frowned. Fei Yejinli must protect him. After all, he was the only person in the army who truly obeyed his words.
