Brother Richard looked at the old man holding his thigh.
This person can be regarded as a veteran among his own troops and one of the people he trusts most.
Now, it is understandable for him to act like this.
But if even this kind of person is not willing to go to Mengyuan with him, what about the others?
Thinking of this, Brother Richard couldn't help but glance around the courtyard, and he had a clue in his mind.
These soldiers want to take back Xingqing Mansion.
"Commander."
Just when Brother Richard relaxed, the general looked up again with tears in his eyes. While sobbing, he said: "I dare to say it again, at this time, you must not be stupid. We have just discussed it. The king has been in office for nearly fifty years and people's hearts are attached to him. If you do this Thinking about the position of king all the time will only distract people."
"But having said that, if something happens to the king and the prince, even if you don't sit in this seat, we will definitely not be convinced!"
"Now, isn't it said that both the king and the prince have escaped from Xingqing Mansion? The king who abandoned Xingqing Mansion is still the king?"
"The king wants to abandon Xingqing Mansion and seek support from Meng Yuan."
"But if Meng Yuan was really willing to support, why would he wait until now?"
"We are willing to follow the commander to the death and take back Xingqing Mansion. When the time comes... then we find the prince, and the commander will be my father-in-law!"
Hearing this, Brother Richard relaxed a little. In fact, he didn't know what to do in this situation.
To be honest, he had only thought about that position.
But how can I put it, sometimes, just thinking about it, it may be a little out of control.
Just like this time.
Although the generals standing here didn't say anything, they must have seen something.
That's why there is such a scene tonight.
But, after all, he is not a powerful official! He is just a clan general who knows how to fight and is a bit greedy for money and lust!
Today's army still needs him to command and lead it.
At this thought, Brother Richard did not hesitate anymore and directly wiped his tears and sighed: "Where did you think you were? When did my loyalty to the king change? It is precisely because I am worried and frightened that my brother's whereabouts are unknown, and I am worried that you will have trouble after knowing the news. Erxin, that’s why I was so scared that I didn’t dare to come out.”
"Fortunately, the king has withdrawn from Xingqing Mansion with his army, and you are all so loyal, so let's not wait any longer, and set off quickly, go to Xingqing Mansion according to the original arrangement, and then find the king again Together with the prince, we will take over the Xingqing Mansion! Drive out all the gangsters!"
Everyone was in an uproar, making noises together, and they were indeed in a state of returning to their master.
After Brother Richard determined the thoughts of his general, he was actually forced to make a choice.
But judging from the current situation, at least a choice has been made.
Now that it was determined to find the king, it was natural to send people out to look for him immediately. Most of the scouts left the camp overnight and headed towards Hengduan Mountain.
Then how to take over Fuxingqing Mansion?
There are many issues here that need to be considered by Brother Richard.
After completely dispelling certain undesirable thoughts, and knowing the thoughts of his subordinates, as well as regrets about the choices he made this time, all complicated thoughts were suppressed, and he began to think about how to use his existing troops. If Li Qianshun failed to be found, how to hold off Prince Daqian and create a momentum.
With this momentum, maybe Li Qianshun, who heard the news, would come back with his troops.
Fourth watch.
The cold wind howled.
The firewood crackled loudly in the room.
Brother Richard endured the coldness and said in a deep voice: "The Daqian Forbidden Army is going deep alone this time, and there are three armies coming from the north."
"The original West Route Army was Han Shizhong. This man was also from the Xiliang Army. He was also a disciple of Yue Shan. He was a man who knew military affairs."
"This man led the Western Route Army to capture Pingchuan, then continued northward, and finally passed through Zhongzhou and reached Hengduan Mountain without caring about it."
"This was the day before yesterday. Someone came to report that there was a confrontation between the Daqian Imperial Army and the Meng Yuan cavalry in Hengduan Mountain."
"Prince Daqian must have gotten the news and sent Han Shizhong to stop Meng Yuan's reinforcements."
"So, there are reinforcements from Meng Yuan, but not many."
"Now it's still being stopped by Daqian's Western Route Army."
"That's a point."
"Look again, Prince Daqian personally led the army. He led the army all the way north, directly arrived at Zhongzhou, captured Zhongzhou at a very fast speed, and then continued north to attack Xingqing Mansion."
"And Dagan's Eastern Route Army, the army we encountered before, is the daughter of Dagan's military god Yueshan. You all know this."
"Yue Hongling used Jin Chao's plan to escape from the shell and used a small amount of troops to lure us to fight to the death here. She directly led her troops to Zhongzhou and cooperated with Prince Daqian to capture Zhongzhou, and then fought in the fields of Xingqing Prefecture. "
"If we want to take over Fuxing Qing Mansion this time, we have two ways to go."
"The first one is to go north to Hengduan Mountain, first swallow up Daqian's Western Route Army, and then mix it with Meng Yuan's cavalry to create a momentum first."
"With this momentum, it is impossible to say that the king will join us if he hears the news."
"At that time, we can unite our forces and directly besiege Xingqing Mansion."
"We all have more cavalry than infantry, which is not conducive to attacking the city. Then we can use the advantage of cavalry to besiege Prince Daqian in Xingqing Mansion and cut off their food and grass. We will definitely succeed!"
"The second one is to ignore the Daqianxi Route Army in Hengduan Mountain and go to Xingqing Mansion immediately with great force and speed."
"Set up an ambush here, then let the vanguard make a surprise attack, and then pretend to be defeated, attracting a large army to enter the canyon here."
"Destroying the prestige of Daqian, making them dare not act rashly, and then immediately turn to regain Zhongzhou."
"With the large army going deep alone, it will be very difficult to transport grain and grass."
"They must have brought provisions with them."
"I thought Daegan's grain and fodder would probably be in Chungju."
"As long as it can burn their food and grass, keep harassing them, and make them unable to appease the people."
"At that time, the people in the entire Xingqing Mansion will know that we have not given up on Xingqing Mansion."
"They will definitely resist!"
have to say.
This is Brother Richard.
At this time, after confirming his choice, he immediately thought of how to go.
It seems like there are two paths, but in fact there is nothing to hesitate about.
Everyone directly chose the first option.
Because they have Li Qianshun's army and the Mongolian cavalry, they will be stronger.
Relatively speaking, it is also more stable.
Brother Richard nodded.
He made these two decisions himself, and actually preferred the first one.
It's still dark.
The cold wind howled.
Brother Richard led the army to continue northward, intending to go to Hengduan Mountain, first support the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, defeat the Daganxi Route Army, and then find the king and regain the Fuxingqing Mansion.
