Chapter 2877
this moment.
The Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty was about to explode with anger. She stared at Tang Yu and said, "Tang Yu, don't bully others too much!"
"I am the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty, and I have the responsibility to the Han people. If you set the location of the street fighting in the Han city, have you ever thought about what the Han people will do?"
"With the barbaric and cruel character of the Xiongnu, the people will definitely die. If we are allowed to watch the people die at the hands of the Xiongnu, then what is the need for our so-called coalition forces!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhan and others nodded in agreement.
After all, for a country, it doesn't matter whether the country is rich or not, what really matters is the people.
Water can carry and capsize a boat. If there were no people, there would be no need for the Han Dynasty to exist.
Seeing the resolute attitude of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty, Tang Yu shrugged and said: "Well, let's do this. I'll give you two choices, either fight in the street and capture the Huns in one go. Although as you said, the Huns will massacre them as soon as they enter the city. The people destroyed their houses, but as long as we promise to build new houses for them after we repel the Huns, they will agree."
"Or, cancel the street fighting and continue to withdraw for dozens of miles. When the Huns' cavalry attacks again, the coalition forces will suffer a large number of casualties, and even their positions will be lost one after another. What you choose is up to you."
After Tang Yu analyzed the pros and cons, everyone present looked at each other.
Remember URL
"this…"
Ye Zhan suddenly lost his temper and didn't know what to do.
From his personal point of view, he had faced repeated defeats against the Huns in the past, and he very much hoped that the coalition forces would win a complete victory so that they could flee after the coalition forces.
However, this matter is not something he can decide. It is related to the life and death of all the people of the Han Dynasty. If any accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
"I think it's better to vote by a show of hands. Those who agree with street fighting will raise their hands."
After the words fell, Ye Zhan and everyone raised their hands to express their agreement to the street fighting. Only the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty did not raise her hand.
The Empress Dowager's expression was extremely ugly, and she knew that street fighting was the only way to defeat the Huns at the moment.
In full view of everyone, the Han Empress Dowager reluctantly raised her hand and said, "I agree, but I have a request. If you, Tang Yu, don't agree, I would rather withdraw the entire army for dozens of miles!"
Tang Yu glanced at the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty and said, "Tell me."
The Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty said: "I hope you can give the people time to evacuate before you make a plan. If the street fighting fails, I ask the coalition forces to evacuate with the people to protect their safety."
What!
There was an uproar in the whole place.
Zhao Zulong was the first to stand up and said: "Impossible! Leading the people to evacuate together will greatly slow down our marching speed. We can now march dozens of miles, but if we lead the people together, it will be very good to go ten miles in one day. "
Meng Tian also nodded and said: "You are right, most of the people are old, young, sick and disabled, and they are not proficient in riding skills. If you want to evacuate with them, it is almost unrealistic, and the army also There are not that many war horses for the common people to use."
The Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty ignored everyone, but fixed her eyes on Tang Yu.
She knew that as long as Tang Yu promised her, there would be a way.
"I have only this request. If you don't agree, I would rather withdraw the troops than risk the safety of the people."
Hearing this, Tang Yu glanced at the Han Empress Dowager meaningfully.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty's request was a sign of loving the people as a son.
