Yeluha looked at Wanyan Chiezha's expression of regret for the rest of his life, and felt very happy in his heart.
It is no longer important why Liu Mingzhi revealed his plan in front of Princess Yue. It was because he had arranged this shocking game of using the Three Kingdoms as a game and all living beings as pawns and couldn't help but show off to his beloved daughter. Or because nothing else matters anymore.
The important thing is that he and his brothers can escape and retreat safely under the encirclement and interception of the dragon's troops.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Are we going to be stationed in Qingzhou, or are we going straight to Jianzhou?"
Wanyan Chizha took off his water bag and took a swig to moisten his throat: "Brother Yale, take a look at the map. Which way do you think we should retreat?"
Yeruha was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the simple map in his hand, looking at the offensive lines outlined in red pen and thinking carefully.
After a long time, Yeruha grinned: "I understand, if we withdraw from any state capital in Yingzhou, we will encounter Dalong's troops. The only chance to escape is in Fuzhou, which is far away."
"We should take a long-distance detour from Qingzhou to Renzhou, Guozhou, and Ruizhou in Fuzhou, exit the Dalong Gate of Fuzhou, attack Shanhaiguan, and withdraw our troops back home."
Wanyan Chizha chuckled and nodded: "It seems that Brother Yale also understands. It can be said that all Liu Mingzhi's layout is centered around the state capital in Yingzhou, and the military strength in Fuzhou is negligible. "
"The best route for us to withdraw from Dalong's northern border is Fuzhou, which is close to Yingzhou."
"If God opens his eyes, it would be better if Liu Mingzhi's soldiers and horses encounter the Turkic soldiers and horses who are still in Yingzhou like headless flies."
"Whether it is now or in the future, the encounter between Turkic soldiers and horses and Dalong soldiers and horses will be a good thing for us, Daikin."
"For now, they will help us contain the siege of Dalong's troops. In the future, once the Turks and Dalong launch a decisive battle, both sides will suffer heavy casualties regardless of victory or defeat."
"Although the Great Dragon's soldiers and horses are far superior to the Turks, the Turks know that they cannot escape. If they fight in a desperate battle, they will definitely inflict heavy losses on the surrounding Dragon's soldiers and horses."
"Huyan Yunyao is defeated, and the main Turkic army will be annihilated. At that time, the Turks will not only be leaderless, but will once again fall into tribal separatism and fall apart."
"At that time, as long as we safely withdraw our troops and return home, Dajin, which has retained 80% of its strength, can completely annex the Turks, obtain countless high-quality war horses, and share the world equally with Dalong."
"It is said that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune in the future. The ancients do not deceive me."
"Perhaps our Daikin may be a blessing in disguise this time!"
After listening to Wanyan Chiezha's words, Yeluha's mood, which had been melancholy for more than a month, finally relaxed a lot.
If this is the case, Daikin is a blessing in disguise.
He even became the biggest winner in the Three Kingdoms War.
"Brother Yale, run eastward with all your strength. Your chance of survival is right in front of you. You must not delay it!"
"Okay, I immediately ordered the soldiers on the right to abandon unnecessary supplies and march eastward to Renzhou."
The two old foxes, Wanyan Chizha, who had led the army all the way to the eastward expedition, did not know that the Turkic soldiers and horses they suspected would encounter the Dalong enemy were hanging far behind them, following their footsteps to break out.
They were overjoyed, and the Huyanjunyao brothers and sisters, who had survived the accident, were also discussing their next move in a relaxed mood.
However, neither side's soldiers knew clearly that Liu Mingzhi's several strikes in the past few days had already overturned the previous layout and restarted the method of using troops according to the situation.
The first year of Yongping, the eighth day of July.
The Jin soldiers and horses heading east to Renzhou had just left Renzhou and when they entered Guozhou in Fuzhou, they encountered the vanguard of Dalong's trapped army and started a battle.
Cheng Kai, who discovered the enemy's traces, immediately sent a message to the remaining five troops searching in Renzhou to come to Renzhou and encircle the border of Guozhou.
Wan Yan and Chi Zha made a prompt decision, detached 80,000 cavalry to thwart the enemy's intention to contain the Jin infantry, and under the cover of the remaining cavalry, broke out toward Ruizhou in the east.
The joyful Huyan Yunyao brothers and sisters led their soldiers and horses just after following the retreat route of Jin's soldiers and horses out of Renzhou. Unfortunately, they encountered the other five dragon soldiers and horses who were encircling Jin's soldiers and horses on the border between the two prefectures on the official road. .
For a time, an unintentional confrontation started again in Renzhou.
Their encounter instead bought time for the Jin State to block the 80,000 Jin State cavalry from the trapped army.
The Turkic soldiers and horses retreated as soon as they were touched. Following the traces left by the Jin army, they dispersed and began to break through Ruizhou.
Liu Mingzhi, who waited for Jianzhou to no avail, continued to order his troops to cross Renzhou directly, and Guozhou detoured towards Ruizhou.
During the founding of the state, countless letters were delivered to Liu Mingzhi like snowflakes. From the contents of these letters, Liu Mingzhi vaguely realized something.
Liu Mingzhi suddenly felt complicated after realizing the reason why the troops of the two countries were able to withdraw from their encirclement many times and leave safely.
But before the truth came out, Liu Mingzhi still held on to a glimmer of hope. The reason why the troops of the two countries evacuated the encirclement was not due to the game in the imperial garden.
It's just that Liu Mingzhi himself is not even 10% sure, because apart from that game, there is no reason that can explain the retreat route of the two countries' troops with divine help.
If it was really because of himself, Liu Mingzhi no longer knew how he would face the outcome of this national war.
Being smart?
Are you going to die because of your own misfortune?
The soldiers and horses led by Liu Mingzhi rushed to Ruizhou at high speed. At this time, the Jin Kingdom and Turkic soldiers and horses had just rushed out of Ruizhou from the encirclement of the six guards of the trapped army and began to rush to Fuzhou, one of the six gates of Dalong.
People who die generously are by no means unique to Dalong.
The dragon pursues more and more people in the rear. The Jin Kingdom's hundred-step cavalry and two Yunshan guards were stationed in Hanzhou. The remnants of Lingzhou volunteered to stay and block the dragon's pursuers, buying time for the brothers in the main army to withdraw. .
The Turkic Shi Sizhe tribe, headed by General Shi Sizhe, took the initiative to go to war and commanded 50,000 Turkic cavalry to block the dragon's troops, which were more than twice their own strength, at the cost of annihilating the entire army.
"Great Khan, I am willing to die for the foundation of the royal court. Please be kind to the people of my Shi Sizhe tribe in the future!"
The 50,000 Turkic cavalry and the 70,000 soldiers of the Jin Kingdom's two guards took the initiative to ask for help. Knowing that it was a dead end, they did not hesitate to charge in a suicidal style and turned around to kill the dragon soldiers who had been pursuing them for more than a month and refused to let go. past.
With more than 100,000 gold, the tug-of-war army was surrounded and killed by soldiers and horses from all walks of life who came to surround them one after another. The entire army was wiped out in half a day, and no one survived.
Hundreds of thousands of dragon soldiers and horses gathered in the wilderness south of Fuzhou City, silently looking at the battlefield that was like a hell on earth.
Corpses stretched as far as the eye could see, blood soaked in the yellow sand, and broken flags dancing in the wind, telling of their former glory.
The ownerless horses sneezed and scratched their hooves. Many horses found their master's body, knelt down silently and refused to leave.
More than 100,000 soldiers and horses delayed Dalong's soldiers and horses for half a day at the cost of all sacrifices, buying enough time for the brothers of the main army to withdraw from Dalong's northern border.
Yunyang's snow-white beard and hair had already been dyed red by blood. He looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, and after gazing at the long smoke dragons that had withdrawn from the pass, he fiercely inserted the bloody sword into the blood-soaked yellow sand. .
"Alas! God has no eyes, and all the previous efforts have been wasted!"
Nangong Ye stood silently next to Yunyang, looking around at Zhang Kuang. Yun sighed silently at the old brothers who also had regretful expressions on their faces.
A sigh contains so many things.
Liu Mingzhi, covered in blood, put the Heavenly Sword into its sheath, staring blankly at the smoke and dust covering the sky in the north of Fuzhou City, speechless for a long time.
On the other side of the smoke were the soldiers and horses of the two countries who had escaped from their own encirclement and charged out with force.
According to the position of the smoke, the experienced generals had already pushed out the troops of the two countries and had already rushed out of the pass.
Song Qing held the scarred helmet around his waist and looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was in a daze, with a complicated expression.
"Commander, the matter is a foregone conclusion, just take it easy."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the tragic battlefield with dull eyes and was speechless for a long time.
If he hadn't revealed his long-planned plan in front of Yue'er, perhaps the world would have been settled.
If the 300,000 new soldiers join forces in time without delaying the opportunity to fight, perhaps they can be surrounded and annihilated in Yingzhou before the troops of the two countries can react.
If the soldiers and horses of the two countries are not determined to withdraw, they can have a decisive battle with their own soldiers and horses to determine the ownership of the world. With the power of artillery and muskets, they can also annihilate the enemy forces of the two countries in one fell swoop.
If I were not worried about having greater merit, and wanted to share the credit for this national war, and bring out the muskets and artillery earlier, this national war might have been won long ago.
But there is no word "if" in everything.
Some are just realistic endings.
The outcome is that although the national war was won this time, the victory was unsatisfactory and fell far short of the expected results of these generals.
"A soldier will see sorrow for half his life, but nothing will happen for twelve years."
"Since ancient times, no one has ever had any regrets in life. He only hopes that the enemy will return."
"My calculations have all been in vain. I didn't think about it. Instead, I was clever but was misled by my cleverness."
"Being hesitant and fearing the wolf before the tiger will eventually lead to the consequences."
"God's will! God's will!"
In his previous life, Liu Mingzhi always felt that actors in TV dramas spitting out a large mouthful of blood due to sadness or anger were a bit exaggerated.
Today, Liu Mingzhi finally realized what it felt like to be so angry that his heart would spurt out blood.
"Since ancient times, no one has had any hatred in life. He only hopes that the enemy will ride his horse...horse...poof...hate...hate... ..."
A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out from Liu Mingzhi's mouth, falling low on the yellow sand.
Liu Mingzhi knelt down to the ground with a dull look, and fell weakly on the sand.
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
"Husband!"
"Quick, call all the military doctors to come!"
The exclamations of Song Qing and others attracted the attention of Yunyang and others not far away. Seeing Young Master Liu's appearance, they hurried over!
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Send to the military doctor quickly!"
After a long time, dozens of famous doctors accompanying the army looked at each other silently, and sighed silently when they saw the unconscious Young Master Liu being held in the arms of Aunt Mo Rongrong.
One of them, the oldest military doctor with white hair and beard, walked up to a group of generals.
"Two marshals, generals."
"The prince was so anxious that he vomited out the blood that had accumulated for a long time."
"I know from the pulse of the prince that the prince has been depressed and ill for at least two or three days, and it may be even longer."
Song Qing was stunned: "Two or three days ago? Starting from Jianzhou? But nothing happened in Jianzhou that annoyed the commander."
"This old man doesn't know. Why is the prince so depressed and sick? Only he knows!"
When Yunyang and Nangong Ye heard this, they looked at each other with sad expressions.
It seems that Liu Mingzhi is very concerned about the enemy's escape from northern Xinjiang!
