Chapter three hundred and ninety first homecoming
For Yuan Ang, and even every general, soldier, and even every practitioner in this army, this retreat was a scene that they would never want to see, but for Taipan, this retreat of the army was an extremely wonderful opportunity.
Because long before the Yellow River was frozen, he had already planned to withdraw from the bank of the Yellow River.
For him, it was not difficult to leave from the bank of the Yellow River. What he was worried about was how he could take the little demons to leave from the bank of the Yellow River together. Now, because the Yellow River is frozen and the collapse of the battle situation in the Yellow River, whether it is him or the little demons, it is natural for him to leave.
The most important thing is that at the moment of the retreat of the army, few people noticed that some practitioners had left the army quietly - because except for those little demons, other practitioners also left Yuan Ang's army silently.
As for the situation of the Han Empire, the Yellow River chassis can be said to be the last chassis before Chang'an City. Now this chassis has turned into a thoroughfare. In front of the army of the Seven Kings, Chang'an City has no danger to defend - dangerous passes such as Tongguan and Hulao. In the absence of insufficient defenders, there is no danger to defend in front of the 500,000 troops.
Therefore, in the eyes of most practitioners, the icy crucifixion of the Yellow River and the loss of the natural barrier almost mean that the dispute between the imperial family and the seven kings in this empire will end.
In this way, those practitioners will naturally consider where they should go after this battle...
It goes without saying whether to continue to stand on the side of the imperial family and walk the road to the end, or to abandon the darkness and turn to the light in time.
"If possible, I would also like Zhou Bo to sacrifice my life to die here."
"But this way, all these 50,000 troops were buried in the Yellow River. Later, the defenders of Zhongjun Fucheng County fought on their own, and it was even more difficult to use them."
"In this way, when the Seven Kings Rebel Army arrives in Chang'an, there may be no more troops to fight in Your Majesty!"
"As the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty, I am in charge of military affairs, how can I do this?"
"Authentic, at the moment when the Yellow River is broken, Your Majesty will definitely be able to get the news, and then draw troops from the counties and counties to guard Chang'an..."
"But in this way, I will undoubtedly give up all counties and counties to rebel!"
"The emperor must not lose his territory. Such an order must not come from Chang'an City, nor from the mouth of Your Majesty!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't speak, only I, the Taiwei of the current dynasty, has such authority to gather the troops from all over the world in Chang'an and decide the outcome of rebellion!"
Yuan Ang said slowly, although the voice was light, every word revealed unparalleled determination and ruthlessness. At this time, Tai Pan suddenly knew Yuan Ang’s plan.
At first, Taipan thought that Yuan Ang's withdrawal this time was to use the vast terrain north of the Yellow River and the passes everywhere to delay the attack speed of the 500,000 troops of the Seven Kings little by little. After all, the 500,000 troops, people and horses, are not a small number. If it drags for a long time, it might be able to drag until the 500,000 troops are unsustainable.
But Taipan never expected that Yuan Ang would make such a desperate decision - he actually wanted to gather all the troops along the Yellow River to Chang'an City and retreat to Chang'an City together, and then hand over these counties to the Seven Kings.
Taipan looked at Yuan Ang. For a moment, he couldn't see at all. In this Liu family's internal struggle, which side Yuan Ang was standing on...
His decision seemed to have no problem, and he was extremely responsible. When he was alone in taking all the infamy, he still retained enough power for Emperor Liu Qi. Undoubtedly, at this juncture, Yuan Ang, the Taiwei of the dynasty, had already achieved the ultimate that his ministers could do. But on the other hand, after the defenders in various counties and counties were all transferred to Chang'an, the army of seven kings drove in, and the troops headed straight to Chang'an. With a great victory in morale, the defenders gathered from all over the city of Chang'an had some chance of winning, but it was unknown.
Furthermore, it is really unknown how much combat effectiveness these soldiers from different counties and counties do not have enough time to integrate?
What's more, after all counties and counties fell, how could those defenders still have the fighting spirit?
From this perspective, Yuan Ang's move seemed to have set up a crucial chess piece in the inner struggle of Liu...
"Can human minds make up this point?"
"Even if it is a situation that will surely die, can you find such a turning point in it?" On the horse's back, listening to Yuan Ang's voice, Tai Pan's heart was incomparable shock - this was the second shock he had received recently.
The first time was because of the great power of the frozen Yellow River, and the second time was because of the mortal's scheming.
In Taipan's opinion, once Yuan Ang returned to Chang'an City, not to mention his own wealth and life, even his descendants may not be able to be protected. However, although his current actions and decisions have not improved much for his own situation, they have infinite benefits for his descendants. After returning to Chang'an, Yuan Ang was naturally alive and alive. However, no matter which side wins in this Liu family's internal struggle, after looking back, they must be grateful to Yuan Ang in this game of chess. In this way, his descendants will naturally be subject to various invisible care...
Taipan's previous scheming plan was simply crude compared to Yuan Ang's actions at this time. It was the difference between a child's casual graffiti and a masterpiece of the master's careful paintings.
Yuan Ang naturally didn't know what Taipan thoughts were. Of course, at this time, Yuan Ang didn't care about what Taipan thoughts were - all his words seemed to be communicating with Taipan, but in fact, they were just convinced himself.
If you give up all the counties along the Yellow River to Chang'an City in one breath, you will not be able to make such a decision easily. There is no doubt that if you make such a decision, not only will Yuan Ang's life be lost, but you will also be written in the glorious history, be scolded by countless people, and accept such humiliation calmly. For a literati, you can imagine how much determination you have to make.
...
"Come here, I will pass on my order. The army gathered the defenders of various counties and counties, and went straight to Chang'an!" On the horse's back, Yuan Ang's order was passed down quickly. The generals around him, listening to Yuan Ang's order, were stunned and stood aside. No one wanted to pass on the order.
"Taiwei, think twice!" At this time, these generals, even Yuan Ang was the commander of the army, had already left behind the scenes - after all, for these generals, this matter was really a fantasy.
The loss of the Yellow River's natural chasm can still push the sky above the times. After all, the Yellow River is frozen and there is no natural chasm. It is natural that their army is defeated by only 50,000 rebels, not to mention that they are not completely and leave without fighting - Zhou Bo, did he still bring 10,000 people to fight to the death on the bank of the Yellow River?
But this abandonment of the corpses of various counties and counties is a completely different concept from the corpses of the Yellow River. Each county is towering in the city, and there are countless food and food supplies in the city. Their 40,000 troops can rely on the troops in the county and the solid walls of the high walls to guard against the army of the Seven Kings.
After all, since ancient times, siege cities, especially high cities, has been extremely difficult. If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to stop a high city for several years. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Le Yi of Yan led the troops of the world to attack Qi. In the end, Jimo, one of the only two cities left in Qi, defended the lonely city and the army for a full five years.
At that time, the army that captured Jimo was not only 500,000, and the defenders in Jimo City were less than 40,000. But even so, Jimo City could hold on for a whole five years until the death of King Zhao of Yan. How could these generals not use the benefits of the high wall to hold on to the rebels of the seven countries?
This is one of them.
Secondly, as generals, military power is the foundation. If you give up all the counties and counties along the way, as Yuan Ang said, you will definitely die as the commander, but these generals will inevitably be neglected. Perhaps you will never have the chance to get sick in your life. How can these generals tolerate this?
"Ignorance martial artist, stupid!" Yuan Ang kept scolding angrily.
"What you think is nothing more than guarding the city."
"But when you are in control of the city, will the rebels not clean up the four directions?"
"At that time, everything will be peaceful, and a mere lonely city, the wives, children and young soldiers in the city are all outside the city. What can you do to protect the city?"
"There are even more so many people who attacked the city and then vented the depression in their hearts. Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been massacred in the city!"
"How dare you ignore the Han people for your own sake?"
"As for the rebel offensive you are worried about."
"Don't worry about this."
"It is difficult to resist the army without defenders everywhere, but how can the county and county towns not resist? The rebels pass by, win people's hearts, sort out documents, etc., always take time."
"It is even more inevitable that the defenders will be left in various counties to avoid accidents."
Amid the sound of horse hooves, Yuan Ang's voice seemed very rapid.
"In this way, we gathered all the way, while the rebels were scattered all the way."
"When you arrive at the city of Chang'an, you will have your chance."
"As for the crime of abandoning the city and losing land, don't worry."
"Our Han Dynasty has not yet used the deployment of the Taiwei to escape from the crime."
"Of course, you guys are not qualified to bear this charge except me, the Grand Marshal!"
"Military law is like a mountain, so you can follow the orders."
"After collecting the garrisons of various counties, you don't have to wait for me, just go straight to Chang'an City."
On the horse's back, Yuan Ang's body was lowered, clamped the horse's belly, took the silk handed over by one hand, and quickly wrote the military order on it with a pen in the other hand, then printed the tiger talisman, and scattered it to the generals...
And around Yuan Ang, after hearing Yuan Ang's words, the generals had to receive military orders and take their own soldiers to go in different directions.
...
"Are you not worried that after they led the army, they surrendered to the rebels of the Seven Kings?" After the generals dispersed, Tai Pan urged the horse and Yuan Ang to go side by side.
"Then use your warrant to trick all the passes away?"
"What's there to worry about?" Yuan Ang leaned down on the horse's back, looking ahead, his face remained unchanged. "Even if someone rebelled, it wouldn't be possible for everyone to rebell. He was just a little confused."
"Even if these people surrender to the rebel king, they have to collect their soldiers everywhere before going. Otherwise, if they go alone to serve, who will take them seriously?"
"In this way, they naturally cannot step into passes faster than us..."
"As for when we enter Chang'an, they will vote for the rebel king, so what can they do?"
"What's the big picture?"
"It's hard to say that before they turn to Chang'an, they will be more valuable than the thousands of soldiers they have gathered." Yuan Ang said, and then Yuan Ang also turned his face and looked at Tai Pan.
"Now all the generals are scattered, and the practitioners in the army are running around. On the banks of the Yellow River, the overwhelming cultivation teams have only one gentleman to follow the army."
"Why haven't you left yet?" Yuan Ang's eyes were also a bit strange.
"Why should I leave?" Taipan asked back, "All decisions in the army have nothing to do with us practitioners."
"No matter how strange it is, it will not be that we practitioners will blame."
"Since that's the case, why should I leave?" Taipan looked at Yuan Ang's eyes with a calm look. "What's more, I have many achievements on the bank of the Yellow River and have not yet converted into practice materials. If I leave, wouldn't it be useless to be in the army these days?"
"As for the army of the Seven Kings, I led people to burn his dock and killed the practitioner who guarded the dock. Even if the Seven Kings can tolerate me, the relatives and friends of the practitioners who died at my hands cannot tolerate me."
“Since that’s the case, why should I leave?
"What's more, although I don't like to bet, I also know the principle of buying and leaving without regrets."
"Is there a golden gift that can help you in time?"
