Chapter 335: The imperial commander’s personal expedition

Changning. Jinluan Palace.

Emperor Yu Ming asked with a livid face: "Why didn't General Guo pursue us?"

Li Fu replied tremblingly: "The old general is old, but... I'm afraid he lacks the vigor he had before."

"Bastard!" Yu Minghuang shouted.

All the civil and military officials below were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

"Immediately send an order for Guo Shuhan to pursue the victory!"...

The next day. Tongguan. The general's residence.

"Old General Guo Shuhan accepts the order!"

A shout shocked Guo Shuhan, who was studying tactics on the map.

There are monks flying with swords to deliver imperial edicts, and the speed is naturally extremely fast.

Guo Shuhan knelt down respectfully and listened to the monk opening the imperial edict and reciting it.

After hearing this, Guo Shuhan raised his head to receive the order and thank him.

Holding the silk-woven imperial edict, he felt it was extremely important and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, you want me to die! It's not a pity that I am dead, but this is such a beautiful country...!"

Eunuch Zhang secretly smiled and said: "General Guo is the pillar of the country, how could your majesty be confused about this kind of thing? He must have made this decision after many discussions. I think the army of stone thieves has not gone far yet, let's It’s not too late to pursue now.”

"I don't want my soldiers to die in vain! Their retreat is fake if you look closely!"

"Then you are willing to resist the order?" Eunuch Zhang's voice suddenly became louder.

Guo Shuhan said sternly: "I will be outside, and I will not accept your orders!"

"That's because the news is not delivered in time, so sometimes the Holy Spirit's judgment will be different from the actual situation. But now that the Holy Will is being transmitted smoothly, you still use this excuse to excuse yourself. Do you have a disobedient heart?!"

Eunuch Zhang tore off his smile and said fiercely.

Guo Shuhan felt his heart twitch. The Guo family has been favored by Emperor Yu for generations, and he would never do such a thing.

At this point, all he could do was to use strategies to reduce casualties as much as possible.

In the 16th year of Emperor Qianbao's reign in Dayu, Guo Shuhan led an army of 150,000 to pursue Shi Xu'an and was defeated. He was ambushed by the enemy general Cui Qianyu in the Western Plains of Ningbao, and the Yu army was defeated.

After repairing, the Yu army continued to pursue. Unexpectedly, due to the repeated urging of the eunuch, the army fell into a trap again. The soldiers were blocked by the river, seized the boats and fled. Countless people fell into the water, and the rivers were choked with corpses.

Guo Shuhan broke through the siege, leaving only 8,000 of his 150,000-strong army.

Finally, Tongguan City was defeated and Guo Shuhan was captured.

The world is shocked!

Once Tongguan is broken, Changning will no longer be in danger.

The capture of Guo Shuhan also completely relieved the pressure on Ning Fuhai. Sure enough, Guo Zi suspected that General Li Guangbi had slowed down his attack on Ning Fuhai and was preparing to withdraw his troops and return to defense.

However, they are easier come than go.

The morale of the Yu army was low at this time, and they were held back by the Yan army who came out of the city to fight.

According to the strategy discussed by Ning and Shi, Shi Xue'an had already led an army of 70,000 to surround them from the rear.

With Ning Fuhai in front and Shi Xu'an behind, Guo and Li will face a dead end.

After Emperor Yuming learned the news, he immediately rushed to Qinzheng Tower.

All the officials were puzzled. The emperor said angrily as he walked:

"What is the use of me raising you? In the end, my country can only be guarded by me! I will issue an edict to inform the world - I will lead the expedition myself!"

All the officials immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"...

When Guo Shuhan was ambushed for the first time, Lu Yuan, who was in Shu, was leading a counterattack with Yan Wu on Xu Jingming's rebels.

After recapturing many cities in succession, they were temporarily blocked in front of Yuewu City.
