The phantoms of General Zhao Haiping and General Deng Yuanjing stood on the high slope, looking from a distance in the direction of the Jin soldiers' attack.
Not long ago, the Jin soldiers had just withdrawn from Zhuxian Town in despair, but now, Wan Yansheng had gathered his troops again and made a comeback.
The 80,000-strong army was divided into three groups, as if they wanted to wipe out the more than 30,000 people in Zhao Haiping's hands.
Not only that, there is also a partial army in the south, which has also entered a very dangerous range.
That was the Qi army led by Tian Shizhong, numbering 30,000.
If calculated this way, Zhao Haiping can be said to be attacked from both sides. He has to use the Zhaoyi Army of more than 30,000 people to defeat the 80,000 Jin soldiers and the 30,000 Qi army.
The situation can be said to be extremely pessimistic.
Zhao Haiping looked into the distance and asked: "General Deng, how do you think this battle will be fought?"
General Deng Yuanjing thought for a moment: "If this battle continues for a long time, the situation will be very critical."
Zhao Haiping nodded, his view was the same as General Deng Yuanjing's.
He had also heard about this person in Master Tian.
In real history, after General Han Fuyue died unjustly, his troops were split up, and a large part of his direct lineage was assigned to this Tian division.
However, this Tian division had very little ability and relied solely on exploiting the camp to occupy a high position. In twenty years, it completely destroyed this powerful army and turned it into a waste that was no different from the ordinary Xiang army of the Qi Dynasty. army.
As far as Qin Huizhi is concerned, it is true that he can only trust this kind of stuff.
Therefore, Zhao Haiping judged that with 30,000 people in the Tian division, he would not dare to take the initiative to fight, and it would even be impossible to cooperate with the Jin soldiers to attack from both front and back.
He would only be like a toad, blocking Zhaoyi's army's retreat and building deep ditches and fortifications to prevent Zhaoyi's army from turning in and escaping.
Of course, although this person had no ability, Zhao Haiping did not dare to underestimate him.
He couldn't take the initiative to fight the Qi army in Tian division.
After all, he had not really rebelled at this time. The soldiers in the Zhaoyi Army were going to face each other with swords. Most of them were not mentally prepared for this.
Moreover, Tian Shizhong didn't want to fight in the first place, but Zhao Haiping took the initiative to fight. Wouldn't that force him to take action?
When the time came, Tian Shizhong really held on and held on. The Jin man repeatedly attacked the Zhaoyi Army's rear, and the battle collapsed in an instant, and there was no more fun.
Therefore, Zhao Haiping also knew that this battle could only be fought to the death with the Jin people.
If he defeats the golden man, Tian Shizhong will definitely run away; if he cannot defeat the golden man, then everything will be over.
Fighting against a golden man will probably be divided into two stages.
In the first stage, Wan Yansheng, with his 80,000 troops, would definitely launch a massive attack. He must have felt that the Zhaoyi Army was internally divided and wanted to test it out.
After withstanding the first stage of the fierce attack, Wan Yansheng discovered that the combat effectiveness of the Zhaoyi Army was still as strong as before, and he would inevitably change his tactics.
At that time, it may become a protracted war.
Wan Yansheng might want to use the shortcoming of the Zhaoyi Army's lack of food and grass to forcefully drag the Zhaoyi Army to death.
By that time, whether the Zhaoyi Army takes the initiative or defends, I am afraid there will be no good results.
But no matter what, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to think about it anymore.
The charm of war is that it changes rapidly, and no one is sure of victory. The fate of countless people is tied to a small accident in the war.
…
South of Zhuxian Town.
Qi army camp.
In the Chinese army's tent, Master Tian looked at the military report in his hand impatiently, and then called a general outside.
"Meng Lin! Let me ask you, how is the war between the Jin people and the Zhaoyi Army?"
The deputy general known as Meng Lin saluted and replied: "Reporting to the general, the Jin people attacked fiercely for the first time and were defeated by General Han Fuyue. The situation was similar to the victory of Yancheng.
"The two sides first fought with cavalry, and the Jin's cavalry was at a disadvantage. Wanyan Sheng became angry and ordered a strong attack, but General Han's Zhaoyi army camped step by step. After three hours of fierce fighting, the Jin people were defeated.
"But General Han Fuyue did not have enough troops and was unable to pursue him deeply. Both sides gathered their strength and seemed to want to fight another day."
Tian Shizhong said with a dark face: "Why do you still respect him so much? He is already a rebel!
"When Han Fuyue is defeated and dies, the imperial court will tell the world the evidence of his rebellion!
"Okay, I know this, please step back."
Meng Lin frowned slightly: "General, are we really not going to send troops?
"The Jin people suffered a series of disastrous defeats before, and their morale has been extremely low. This time Wan Yansheng forcibly gathered 80,000 troops to attack General Han. The Jin people are already divided among themselves, and the defeat at this time is the best proof.
"If our army can advance together with General Han Fuyue at this time and defeat the Jin soldiers, this battle can determine the world!
"If Wanyan Sheng is defeated again this time, south of Yanyun, the Jin people will no longer have any soldiers to fight against. The opportunity for me to quell the humiliation of the past and go straight to Huanglong is right in front of me!"
Tian Shizhong was so angry that his nose almost became crooked, and he kicked Meng Lin, who was in full armor.
"Nonsense!
"What does a little lieutenant like you know!
"Han Fuyue has rebelled. We are sending troops this time just to destroy the traitors! Do you still want to fight side by side with the traitors?
"What you said today, if I report it to the court truthfully and let Prime Minister Qin know about it, you will have several heads that can be chopped off!
"Why don't you retreat quickly!"
Meng Lin glanced at Tian Shizhong with resentment and exited the tent without saying a word.
Tian Shizhong was so angry that he blew his beard: "This is unreasonable!"
During this time, he felt that he was unlucky enough.
As a general, let alone leading troops in battle, he couldn't even do daily training well.
Otherwise, in real history, the invincible and powerful army in the hands of General Han Fuyue would not have collapsed in his hands in twenty years, and would have become no different from ordinary Xiang armies in combat effectiveness.
But it happened that people like him were the most favored by Qin Huizhi.
Therefore, Tian Shizhong himself did not want to do this hard work. He just wanted to eat free wages and pick fruits. However, he was unable to delay the orders of the emperor and Qin Huizhi, so he reluctantly led the troops.
It is absolutely impossible for him to send troops, neither to attack General Han Fuyue nor to attack the Jin people.
In fact, Qin Huizhi told him the same thing. As long as he defended General Han Fuyue's southern retreat route and watched General Han Fuyue die in battle, it would be considered a great achievement.
Tian Shizhong still has a certain degree of self-awareness about himself.
He knew that although he had 30,000 elites, it would still be difficult to defend with his own abilities. If General Han Fuyue really retreats south, the troops attacking him may really collapse on the spot.
This is not unfounded worry, but a high probability event.
You know, when the Qi Dynasty and the Jin people agreed to attack Yanyun from both sides, the Jin people were unstoppable from north to south, while Tong Daofu of the Qi Dynasty led the elite of the Western Army to defeat the crippled soldiers and the defeated generals were hung up and beaten.
Waste is waste and will not change under any circumstances.
Therefore, Tian Shizhong still had to find a lieutenant he could rely on, at least who could withstand it when General Han Fuyue really attacked.
But the problem has returned to the original unsolvable cycle: trustworthy generals cannot be defeated, but generals who can be defeated are all fans of General Han Fuyue.
As the deputy general, Meng Lin had told Tian Shizhong five times and three times that he wanted to fight against the Jin soldiers.
This is quite normal. After all, who is a truly ambitious martial artist who doesn’t have a blood feud with the Jin people? Who doesn’t want to regain the old land and kill the golden people to make achievements?
Tian Shizhong also tried hard to suppress him.
I wanted to kick him out and find someone else, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.
Someone else might not be as obedient as Meng Lin!
Just bear with it a little longer.
Tian Shizhong's thinking was relatively simple. He didn't need to take the initiative anyway, he just stayed on standby. If you have to endure it for a few more days, when General Han Fuyue is killed in battle and he returns to the court with his troops, it will be a great achievement.
…
"Report!
"General, the latest military report."
The messenger sent the latest military report to the central military tent. Tian Shizhong reached out to take it and sent him out with a wave of his hand.
During this period of time, he had been on hold, but it was still necessary to spy on the military situation.
Every one or two hours, a new military report is delivered to his hands.
More than a month has passed since the Jin soldiers began to attack General Han Fuyue.
After Wan Yansheng's first attack was thwarted and he returned in defeat, Jin Bing changed his strategy.
A war of attrition began to be fought steadily and step by step.
Apparently, Wan Yansheng also figured it out and completely gave up on his plan to confront General Han Fuyue head-on.
It’s really untouchable!
Since we can't touch him, we should take advantage of General Han Fuyue's disadvantages of small troops and insufficient logistics and pursue him fiercely.
During this period, General Han Fuyue also organized several counterattacks and raids on the camp, and achieved good results. However, Wanyan Sheng, a military commander well-known for his long health bar, actually withstood this situation. Not beaten to pieces.
General Han Fuyue's military supplies were finally running out of supplies.
Many nearby people wanted to bring food over, but naturally the Jin people couldn't get there, and they were easily harassed by rangers. These people then wanted to transport grain from the side of the Qi army, but they were stopped by all the Tian divisions.
When Tian Shizhong saw these people, he said very amiably: I understand your thoughts on behalf of General Han Fuyue. If you have military rations, you can give them to me, and I will pass them on to General Han Fuyue. The soldiers ahead are in danger and the fighting is very dangerous. It is better for you, fellow citizens, not to come forward.
The people were very moved and gave Tian Shizhong a bath with Tumo Xingzi on the spot.
"Guan Gu! Don't think we don't know. You are here to harm General Han, right?"
"I'm going to give you the rations? I won't even feed the dogs to you!"
"Dog thief, not only did you not support General Han, you also intercepted the food and grass we sent to General Han. Your conscience has been eaten by the dog!"
After scolding Tian Shizhong, there was nothing he could do.
The people today are too smart to be fooled!
He had no choice but to hide in the Chinese army's tent and never come out. At the same time, he strictly ordered the soldiers of the Qi army not to let the people transporting food pass.
Outside the military camp, people could be heard scolding each other every day. Tian Shizhong had no choice but to let it go.
You can't let the Qi army massacre your own people, right?
Even if he has a thief's heart, he doesn't have the thief's courage.
In this way, General Han Fuyue fought with the Jin people for nearly a month, and Tian Shizhong was also scolded in the military camp for a month.
But fortunately, this hard life is finally coming to an end.
Judging from the latest military reports, General Han Fuyue's army is already short of food, and his morale has also been hit to a certain extent after repeated hard battles. The Jin people, after recharging their strength, were ready to launch a general attack.
After all, the Jin people didn't want to delay for too long. The rebels in the rear were rebelling in full swing. Wan Yansheng also wanted to kill General Han Fuyue as soon as possible and then go back to put down the rebellion.
"I should be able to go back and meet Prime Minister Qin soon..."
Tian Shizhong is still huddled in the big tent, intending to be a coward.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the big tent.
Tian Shizhong couldn't help but frown and asked loudly: "What's going on? Who dares to make noise in the camp? Aren't you afraid of my general's military law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of soldiers rushing in from outside the tent with murderous intent.
Meng Lin took the lead, holding a blood-stained steel knife in his hand.
Tian Shizhong couldn't help but turned pale with shock: "You! You are trying to rebel! Come here, drag them all down and engage in military law! They will be executed without mercy!"
Meng Lin sneered: "You bitch, are you worthy of being our general?
"We, the soldiers, are fighting with blood, just like General Han Fuyue, to kill the golden dog and restore the old land, and to make achievements! We are not like you, who are flattering villains and relying on the Qin dog to gain power!
"General Han's loyalty and bravery can be learned from heaven and earth. Although there are only 30,000 soldiers left, and although there is no logistics and food, he is still fighting bloody battles with the Jin people, and almost dies for his country!"
"And the Jin people would rather gather a large army than kill them quickly, which shows how big a threat General Han poses to the Jin people!
"At this time, you bitch not only refused to let us attack the Jin people, but you also cut off General Han's retreat and sat back and did nothing. What is the difference between this behavior and the Litong Jin people!
"Even the people delivering food were intercepted by you!
"Listen to the shouts of the people outside the military camp. They are not only the shouts of the people of Zhuxian Town, but also the shouts of the people of the entire Northland! Are the people of the Northland not the people of my Qi Dynasty?
"No matter if you give the order today or not, we are going to kill the Jin soldiers!"
Tian Shizhong changed his face in fear: "Meng Lin! You are crazy!
"Your family and relatives are all still in the Qi Dynasty! If you rebel at this time, your whole family will be killed and your wife and daughter will be put into the Jiaofangsi!
"Put the knife down now. I will be magnanimous and pretend that nothing happened!"
Meng Lin sneered: "Tian Shizhong, I don't know what kind of person you are?
"Since I dare to pick up the knife today, I have already prepared for the worst! Are you magnanimous? What a joke. If I let you leave alive today, I will have no way to survive!
"As for family members and relatives...
“General Han’s family members are also in the south!
"If the Qi Dynasty dares to touch our family members, then we will kill the golden dog and take revenge! We swear to advance and retreat together with General Han Fuyue!"
After speaking, Meng Lin quickly stepped forward and stabbed Tian Shizhong in the stomach.
"die!"
…
Zhao Haiping raised his spear and knocked a Jin cavalry off his horse.
However, looking at the waves of golden soldiers in front of him, he still felt helpless.
Is that... the end of it?
Zhao Haiping felt that he had done everything he could do. Perhaps in a few more months, when he could integrate the lost land in the north so that he could obtain a steady stream of troops and military rations, everything could go smoothly. On track.
But he also had to admit that Wan Yansheng was a visionary general.
Even though there were frequent fires in the rear and the morale of the Jin soldiers had been seriously shaken, he was still able to gather 80,000 troops to kill himself.
After all...it's still a little bit worse.
"Forget it, at worst, when you start over next time, it's not too late to take revenge!"
Zhao Haiping was ready to fight until the last moment.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind the Jin people and they fell into chaos!
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but perked up: "What's going on?"
He looked hard and could only vaguely see what seemed to be an army of the Qi Dynasty, beating the Jin people's rear army!
…
Wan Yansheng is riding a war horse and directing the battle.
Seeing that the soldiers on General Han Fuyue's side were reaching their limit due to hunger and fatigue, they were only one step away from killing General Han Fuyue!
However, at this moment, there was sudden chaos in the rear!
A cavalryman came quickly: "Report! Oh no, that Qi army, that Qi army unexpectedly attacked our rear army!
"The signing army has collapsed in chaos and can't stand it any longer!"
Wan Yansheng's expression suddenly changed: "What?!
"How can this be?!"
Wanyan Sheng was puzzled.
Before sending troops, he had already discussed it with Wan Yanxian.
It is certainly true that the Emperor of Qi Dynasty and the Prime Minister Qin Huizhi want peace talks;
General Han Fuyue's refusal to accept the order has touched the bottom line between the emperor and Qin Huizhi. The conflict between the two sides has deepened, and it is true that the Qi Dynasty also wanted to get rid of it quickly;
Qin Huizhi did not plan to use Qi's troops to encircle and suppress General Han Fuyue, but he would definitely use methods such as cutting off baggage and blocking the retreat to help the Jin army. This is even more correct.
As for this Qi army, it was led by Qin Huizhi's favorite Tian Shizhong.
Among the Tian masters, Wan Yansheng had also heard about it, but he was just a loser.
Therefore, Wan Yansheng has already guessed that it is definitely unrealistic to expect to flank General Han Fuyue with the Qi army. However, this Qi army will only sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, cutting off General Han Fuyue's retreat, or He waited until the Jin soldiers were about to win before picking the fruits.
But what Wan Yansheng didn't expect was that a situation happened that he had never expected!
This Qi army suddenly broke out when Jin Bing and Zhaoyi's army were fighting to the limit, causing Jin Bing's rear army to completely collapse in an instant!
In the era of cold weapons, such a collapse is irreversible.
Because in the chaotic army, no military orders can be transmitted, and the organized party can only massacre the unorganized party one-sidedly.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Wan Yansheng's mind.
His first reaction was that he was already one step away from success. He completely ignored the changes in the rear army and desperately killed General Han Fuyue before retreating?
But soon, this idea was rejected by himself.
He can't afford to gamble!
The soldiers around General Han Fuyue were too powerful. During the Battle of Yancheng, he tried beheading, but they were all killed in the battle at Tiefu Tu.
If he couldn't make it down again this time, wouldn't he have to stay here too?
What's more, these elite soldiers in his hands are the middle force of the Jin Kingdom at this time. Losing a few more will make the political situation of the Jin Kingdom become unstable.
After all, the number of golden people is still too small. There are a large number of sign troops in the army, and there are also a large number of people from other ethnic groups in the land ruled by the Jin people.
The northern land that originally belonged to the Qi Dynasty is already full of rebels. If Wanyan Sheng sends elites here again...
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Sheng gritted his teeth: "Send the order! Withdraw the troops!"
He looked bitterly at General Han Fuyue who was fighting on a horse in the distance.
It seemed that he was only one step away from killing this military god. But in the end, this step became extremely far away due to a strange combination of circumstances...
Wan Yansheng slapped his horse, turned its head, and led the soldiers around him to break out of the encirclement.
…
"General Han!"
A lieutenant wearing armor and covered in blood got off his horse and knelt down to Zhao Haiping.
Zhao Haiping quickly helped him up: "Please get up quickly!"
After a series of melees, although Zhao Haiping was using the full-level account of General Han Fuyue, he was a little exhausted at this time.
According to historical records, General Han Fuyue's personal combat power is also at the historical ceiling level, and he is the top in the entire Qi Dynasty. Whether it is riding skills, archery skills or spear skills, they are all unparalleled at that time.
But after many hard battles, Zhao Haiping was almost able to squeeze this body to its limit.
I originally thought that I might suffer from this and let Zhuxian Town become the burial place of General Han Fuyue in this historical slice, but I didn't expect that there would be a twist at the last moment!
The Qi army that had been waiting and watching unexpectedly attacked the rear of Jin Bing, causing Jin Bing's nerves, which had been stretched to the limit, to completely collapse.
At this time, the morale of the Jin people was already very low, and a large number of signed troops had no intention of fighting. Therefore, with the slightest intervention from outside forces, the situation collapsed instantly.
Naturally, Zhao Haiping would not let go of this opportunity and led his men in a wild pursuit for dozens of miles, killing people all over the place.
It was not until the men and horses were exhausted that the soldiers could no longer pursue them, and then the order was given to return to camp.
Then, he joined forces with the Qi army and saw the general who led them.
Originally, Zhao Haiping was a little puzzled. This Qi army had been cutting off his retreat before, obviously intending to harm him. It's just that Jin Bing is facing a formidable enemy, and he can't spare any time to take care of it.
Why did this Qi army suddenly go to fight the Jinren? Isn't this unreasonable?
Only when I met Meng Lin did I realize that it was Meng Lin and a group of lieutenants who launched a mutiny and killed the commander of the army, Tian Shizhong, and then led these Qi troops to attack the Jin soldiers, turning this battle that had a low chance of winning into a Great victory.
"It's just that... if you do this, I'm afraid you are conspiring against each other." Zhao Haiping said with emotion.
Meng Lin's face darkened for a moment, but then he cheered up: "Since you have decided to commit yourself to the country, how can you think about your family!
"General Han, we will follow you to the death, and we are willing to obey your orders under your tent!"
Zhao Haiping nodded: "Okay, in that case, we will be a family from now on.
"But...I have a request.
"If they don't want to stay, let them go back. There is no need to force them. All this must be completely voluntary."
Meng Lin was stunned for a moment: "But, General Han, this is the time for us to employ people..."
Zhao Haiping shook his head slightly: "There are not many soldiers but good ones."
Meng Lin could only nod: "Yes."
Zhao Haiping patted him on the shoulder again: "Don't worry, your family, as well as the families of other soldiers, will be safe and sound.
"I will find a way to keep them safe!"
…
Qi Gaozong's hands trembled slightly.
The news of Zhuxian Town's second great victory was in his hands.
It's just that in his opinion, this good news cannot be said to be boring, it can only be said to be frightening.
The Battle of Zhuxian Town was supposed to be the last battle of General Han Fuyue's fourth Northern Expedition.
But now, the second battle in Zhuxian Town has become the first battle of General Han Fuyue's formation of Zhaoyi Army's first Northern Expedition.
Originally, Wanyan Sheng had planned to retreat after his defeat in Zhuxian Town.
Zhuxian Town was only more than forty miles away from Daliang City, the old capital of the Qi Dynasty. Once Zhuxian Town was lost, the Jin people had already planned to retreat from Daliang City, and they did not even have time to take away their wealth and belongings.
However, Qi Gaozong ordered General Han Fuyue to return to the court with his troops.
In this slice of history, Wanyan Sheng, who originally planned to retreat, led his troops to fight back after receiving Qin Huizhi's secret letter.
As a result, he failed again.
The key to this battle was that the Qi army that originally blocked Zhaoyi's retreat in the south mutinied. Deputy General Meng Lin and others killed the leader of the army, Tian Shizhong, and stormed the Jin soldiers' rear army.
The Jin people were caught off guard and returned in defeat. They were chased by the Zhaoyi Army and the Qi Army, and suffered heavy losses.
Zhaoyi's army wiped out more than 30,000 enemies and suffered about 5,000 losses. They captured 240,000 dan of military supplies, 15,000 war horses, and no other baggage.
And such a great victory has surpassed the previous great victory in Yancheng!
Of course, part of the reason for this is that during the great victory at Yancheng, Wan Yansheng led basically the elite of the Jin soldiers, but this time because the elite of the Jin soldiers had suffered heavy losses, they brought a large number of signed troops. The combat effectiveness of these signing troops was very poor. They were killed and their bodies were scattered all over the field when they escaped, making their military exploits even more exaggerated.
But no matter what, such results were enough to make the people of Qi Dynasty extremely excited, while Qi Gaozong was extremely frightened.
In the past, a great victory from Han Fuyue was equivalent to a great victory for the Qi army, so although Qi Gaozong would be a little panicked, he was generally happy.
But now, Han Fuyue is actually completely out of his control, and he has achieved such a great victory...
Doesn't this mean that I have absolutely no means to control him?
Wan Yansheng's attack could not be described as desperate. Han Fuyue's situation cannot be described as passive.
But even in this situation, General Han Fuyue still won! Still a great victory!
Of course, this great victory had some unexpected factors, such as Meng Lin's mutiny.
But isn't it scarier?
Even a Qi army that did not attack, but only blocked the retreat, mutinied. If they want to mobilize troops to attack General Han Fuyue in the future, will there be any army that will not mutiny?
Qi Gaozong only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and a shadow that made him extremely frightened appeared in his mind.
He looked at Qin Huizhi: "Prime Minister Qin...what can I do..."
Qin Huizhi was also a little confused.
He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
But at this time, all his plots and tricks were ineffective.
Send someone else to fight again?
Pull him down and stop delivering food to General Han Fuyue!
Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Guan family, we must use thunderous means!
"Meng Lin is already treason, and Han Fuyue is also treason! Since it is treason, then simply find all their family members and kill them all to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhang Deyuan on the side spoke.
"Prime Minister Qin, you haven't read the new 'Notice to the People' issued by General Han Fuyue, have you?"
Qin Huizhi's face darkened: "Why do you need to see the traitor's things!"
Zhang Deyuan sighed slightly: "The officials, Prime Minister Qin's plan is to put the officials to death!
"General Han Fuyue's latest 'Notice to the People' not only records the process of this victory in detail, but also specifically mentions that many soldiers in the Zhaoyi Army had their families in the south at this time.
"If the officials and the Prime Minister of Qin dare to touch any of them... then they will have an sworn feud with the Zhaoyi Army. At that time... there will only be one outcome: murder for life, blood for debt!
"These four words of irreconcilability... Prime Minister Qin, are you worthy of it!"
As soon as these words came out, the three people present seemed to feel a chill to their bones.
Blood debts must be paid with blood... we are irreconcilable...
At this time, they had no doubt that if they dared to touch the families of these soldiers, no matter if it was any one of them, General Han Fuyue would have enough reasons to immediately raise his troops and kill him!
By then, the situation may really be out of control...
Qi Gaozong clenched his hands suddenly: "Rebellion...rebellion! How dare you threaten me..."
Zhang Deyuan sighed again and advised: "Guan family! Think about it carefully!
"At this time, the Zhaoyi Army has not yet rebelled!
"Although General Han disobeyed orders, in the eyes of the people, General Han wanted to resist the Jin Dynasty and regain the Northland. This is a matter of course. The officials can't suppress him with this matter!
"At this time, General Han has just won a great victory in Zhuxian Town, and the people of the world are rejoicing. If the officials kill the family members of Zhaoyi Army soldiers at this juncture...
"Guan Jia, how do you think the people of the world should view this?
"What's more, this move is tantamount to giving General Han Fuyue a legitimate reason to rebel. If he really raises troops in the name of 'the imperial court killing the family members of the anti-Jin righteous people', how many people in the world will stand by then?" On my side? How many armies are there that can stop the Zhaoyi Army?
"The officials should think deeply!"
Qi Gaozong's clenched hands slowly loosened again.
He was silent for a long time, and then said feebly: "Zhang Qing, what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Deyuan said: "There is only one way. Recruit!"
Qi Gaozong couldn't help but be stunned: "Recruitment?"
Zhang Deyuan nodded: "That's right. For the officials, the best way is to recruit those rebels, rebels, and bandits who cannot be wiped out by the government army. And the same is true for General Han Fuyue at this time."
Qi Gaozong nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
There was a saying in the Qi Dynasty: If you want to be an official, you must kill people and set fires to be recruited.
This is indeed a common phenomenon.
Because being a submissive citizen means being oppressed by the government and never getting ahead. But if they kill and set fire, defeating the government and army, and make the government and army return without success after repeated attacks, then the court has no choice but to recruit troops.
What can we do if we don't recruit people who can't be suppressed?
At this time, General Han Fuyue also created such a dilemma for Qi Gaozong.
Fight, you can't beat, you can't even beat.
The more you want to fight, the more likely it is that something will happen.
What else can be done?
We can only use the method of recruiting him to temporarily win him over, and then slowly make plans.
As for whether this will set a bad example for other generals...
At this point, I don’t care about that much anymore.
Moreover, the other generals have basically returned and handed over their military power, so there is no need to worry about them following General Han Fuyue's example.
After a long time, Qi Gaozong said as quietly as a mosquito: "Then... let's do it like this..."
