Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Four: Recruitment
Barutu attacked Yizhou and suffered a great defeat. Hesar, Tianmenling and his troops were completely wiped out. Barutu broke out by chance and left 4,000 elite troops on the battlefield. The troops of Gongda who entered Xinghe fought with Huo Zhenting. He heard the bad news and was in chaos. He urgently withdrew his troops. He was attacked by Huo Zhenting and Hu Zehua, and was only able to escape. This war, from Emperor Wuda, Princess Zhenguo, to Barutuwuliqi, Tienig and others, thought that they would definitely win. It ended in a disastrous defeat of the Mongolian Yuan. When the news came, the Mongolian Yuan court was shocked and speechless.
There was a silence like death in the main hall. To this day, two princes of the Mongolian Yuan had been defeated by Yun Zhao. If the defeat of Tutuo did not make Wuda and others care about it, the defeat of the experienced veteran Balutu of the Mongolian Yuan made everyone feel like they were lost. This was not just the problem of the death of more than 10,000 elite Mongol elites in the battlefield. He involved too much. After this defeat, Wuda suddenly discovered that he could not draw more troops to launch another attack on Yizhou. The main forces of the Mongolian Yuan had already advanced to Taizhou, including his main force of the big tent. Compared with Yizhou, the retreat of the Taizhou Wei State of the Great Yue opened the central gate of the northern part of the Great Yue, and it was obviously more important to obtain the northern states.
Yaerdan was mixed with feelings, and sat there with his head down, feeling mixed with emotion, and there were some words to express his mood at this time. In the defeat of Balutu, he left the bodies of tens of thousands of Meng Yuan's comrades in Yizhou, making her sad. She hoped that Yun Zhao would fail, but Yun Zhao would be unable to compete with Meng Yuan. Maybe Yun Zhao would have a chance with her. But in a vague sense, Yun Zhao, who was worried that the failure, died on the battlefield. Now Yun Zhao was defeated, and the court was unable to launch another attack. Yizhou would have a precious time to strengthen himself. In the future, it would be even more difficult to defeat him, but Yun Zhao would be alive. But she would have a long breath of relief. Yes, she breathed a sigh of relief. Yaerdan looked up at his brother Wuda on the throne.
"Once one day of indulgence will eventually lead to great trouble!" Wuda's low voice sounded in the hall. Looking at the civil servants and ministers below the hall, he said a little lonely: "My servants, what suggestions do you have?"
Azith stood up. "Your Majesty, although Barutu was defeated, he still has tens of thousands of cavalry. He can still launch an attack again. Your Majesty can order Barutu to regroup and fight Yun Zhao again."
Han Zhong stood up, "Your Majesty, if the battle in Yizhou again, Prince Barutu has no chance of victory. At this time, our army is low, but the morale of the Anqing border army is high. Please forgive me for your wishes, Yun Zhao's army gathered. There are as many as 100,000. Under such circumstances, if we cannot increase the number of Prince Barutu, it is better for the hero to cut off our arm and stop the attack on Yizhou immediately. Otherwise, it will only add to Yun Zhao's reputation."
Azis retorted: "I don't agree with King Yi's words. If you don't fight in Yizhou, if you put a sharp steel knife next to us, how can you let others sleep soundly? Moreover, the sleeping man is still a tiger? Even if Yun Zhao has 100,000 people, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry can only recover, and there is no possibility of victory."
"What if we lose again? At that time, our main force had already taken over the states south of Taizhou, and Tanzhou was empty. If Prince Barutu was defeated again, Yizhou soldiers and horses would go out of the sword pass and threaten Yanjing, which would be a joke." Han Zhong sneered. "Unless we can create tens of thousands of people, we can only stop attacking Yizhou."
Azisi wanted to argue again, Wuda waved his hand and calmed him down. Looking at Han Zhong, Wuda asked: "What King Yi said is reasonable, but what Azisi said is also a problem. Although we lack military strength, we cannot let Yun Zhao develop in Yizhou so peacefully. What good strategies does King Yi have?"
Han Zhong walked to the center of the hall and bowed to Wuda: "Your Majesty, our Dayuan is mainly cavalry and uses cavalry to fight positions with Yun Zhao's infantry. It is very unwise. Yun Zhao has been very familiar with our army's combat style since he was still a horse bandit. His subordinates and generals have many confrontations with our army. Their soldiers' training is extremely targeted, which is how to deal with cavalry attacks. Therefore, to fight Yun Zhao, they must mobilize them, give full play to the mobility of our cavalry in the movement, and annihilate the enemy in the movement."
"You mean?" Wuda's eyes narrowed.
"Luzhou!" Han Zhong nodded. "Before Prince Barutu sent troops to occupy Wuxian and set up Wujingzhai. It is obvious that he had made the worst plan, that is, the Taizhou Guards left. If Yizhou does not want to become an isolated land, they must control Luzhou. Therefore, what Prince Barutu did next should be attacking Luzhou, and Yunzhao must respond. As long as the army moves, we will have a chance!"
Wuda nodded slightly.
"This is a military preparation, but when we look for an opportunity to annihilate Yun Zhao's troops during the attack, we still have to make other preparations and recruit us!" Han Zhong said.
"I'm afraid it's extremely difficult to recruit you!" Wuda shook his head slightly, "Yun Zhao, too, is in a desperate situation, and refuses to bow to my Dayuan. At this time, he has occupied a certain stage on this land. How can he surrender?"
Han Zhong smiled, "It is because of this that it is possible to recruit you! Yun Zhao had nothing in the past and surrendered to him was worthless. Now it is different. He has occupied a high position and continues to fight against us. It is very likely that he will lose all his money from the high position. At that time, he was barefoot and couldn't help but wear shoes, but now, he not only has shoes, but also excellent shoes. Can he think the same as before?"
After hearing Han Zhong's words, Wuda couldn't help laughing, "This is interesting and reasonable. Just as it is easy to get extravagant from frugality, it is difficult to get extravagant from frugality. You are saying this, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise. In the past, the Anqing coalition forces were small, and Yun Zhao could still make a decision. Now that the ship is bigger and there are more people, there will be more ideas, and Yun Zhao needs to take care of them."
"Han Qing is going to be this lobbyist?" Wuda looked at Han Zhong.
Han Zhong smiled: "I am unshirkable, but I am afraid I will not have any effect and will even backfire. Your Majesty, there is actually an excellent candidate to take on this position!"
Yaldan raised his head, "I have tried it, Yun Zhao will not use it for us." Looking at Han Zhong's somewhat surprised gaze, Yaldan explained: "Before Barutu attacked Yizhou, I had seen Yun Zhao and tried to recruit him, but he refused in one go."
Han Zhong nodded, "So that's it, but princess, one moment and another. You used to represent you personally, but now you represent the Yuan Dynasty court. The weight is naturally different. Moreover, as long as we are willing to pay enough price, Yun Zhao may not be moved. This person is not a foolish and loyal person like Yue Ming. As long as there are enough benefits, this person will definitely be impressed."
Yaldan lowered his head and his face turned slightly red. He promised himself that he had not had any great interests, but this matter could not be said in the court.
Seeing Yaerdan's strange expression, Wuda's heart came to mind. Yaerdan had an unusual favor for Yun Zhao, and it could even be said to fall in love with him at first sight. How could Wuda not know? He couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Han Zhong's proposal might be a good idea. If Yaerdan was promised to Yun Zhao, would the other party be moved? In this way, his sister's wish fulfilled and he could win a tiger general like Yun Zhao, wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone?
Once, Yardan was kidnapped by Yun Zhao and he made a statement that he could kill her under the last resort. Wuda always felt that there was a faint barrier between him and Yardan. If she could fulfill her marriage, perhaps this barrier would dissipate. Moreover, if Yun Zhao, she would get 100,000 soldiers who could fight in Yizhou, which was a 100,000 strong brigade that had defeated Barutu. For Dayuan, who is now in great strength, it was a timely rain.
"If Yun Zhao can surrender to Dayuan, I will not be reluctant to give him the title of Prince!" Wuda glanced at the silent Yardan and said meaningfully: "Even if he makes some unexpected requests, I will not be able to consider it!"
Yaldan looked up and looked at his brother's meaningful eyes, and his face turned red.
"I, go and try it!" she whispered.
"That's great!" Han Zhong clapped his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty, the princess of Zhenguo is going to discuss peace and recruitment, but Luzhou is going to start fighting closely to promote peace and promote peace. If Prince Barutu can win a few battles, it will be beneficial to recruitment."
"That's it!" Wuda said: "Han Qing, what about the infantry you have been training?"
Han Zhong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, these infantrymen were farmers before, and it will take some time to put them into use. Your Majesty will give me another half a year. I can train your Majesty a infantryman of 50,000 people, at least not lose to the various towns and troops in Dayue!"
"That's thank you for your hard work in Han Qing!" Wuda said with satisfaction. Half a year later, the Great Yuan cavalry had taken over the northern part of Da Vietnam. At this time, the infantry could be sent to various places to guard, and the cavalry could gather together again.
The whole Yanjing was busy dispatching troops to raise food and grass, and preparing to take over the northern territory of Dayue. It can be said that there was joy. Even if Barutu was defeated in Yizhou, it did not have much impact on this joyful atmosphere. In another capital, Shangjing, Dayue, was in a huge shock.
Guan Pengju was assassinated and died! This news has just been sent back to Shangjing. The importance of Guan Pengju to the Great Yue army is that everyone can understand that the God of the Great Yue army fell and fell into the hands of his own people. In addition to being angry, all the Great Yue people were more panic. Is this sky going to collapse?
The atmosphere in Tai Chi Hall was more solemn than outside. The people were cursing the rebels, hoping that the court would immediately launch a large army to annihilate the rebels. But everyone standing in the court knew that Dayue was really at the time of life and death.
