Behind the mountain slope, several spies of the Yan Army looked at the Qin army breaking out of the camp with "clairvoyance". For a moment, they were filled with doubts in their hearts. They leaned on the slope and said blankly: "What is the plan of the Qin army?" ? The three armies have pulled out their camps, are they planning to retreat?"
"That's not necessarily true. The Qin army has been stationed at the border for a year. The consumption of military supplies alone is very large. It is normal for the emperor of Qin to order the withdrawal of the army."
"Stop guessing, let's go back and report to the general and military advisor!"
A soldier suggested.
After fighting for a year, facing the deterrence and offensive of the Qin army, the Yan State, from the courtiers to the common people, were all on tenterhooks and frightened, fearing that one day, the Yan army would lose the front line, and the Qin army would march straight in, until Force the Yan State to seize the capital.
You must know that the Qin army is famous for its toughness in the eyes of outsiders. In the past few years, it has fought countless battles, but the Qin army has almost no defeats. From fighting the Liao Kingdom to unifying the Central Plains, Emperor Wu of Qin was here. It is almost unstoppable and unstoppable. Many people say that Xiao Qi is the chosen one, destined to dominate the world and be powerful all over the world.
In the Yan country and even in the world, no one is afraid or trembles when facing such a person and a big country.
Several spies from the State of Yan are divided into two waves. One wave is monitoring the movements of the Qin army at the border. If any accident occurs, they can report it at any time! Another wave of people returned to the Yan Army camp. In fact, the position 20 miles away from the 300,000 Yan army is the fortified city of the Yan state. Its main purpose is that if the frontal confrontation fails, the army can retreat into this strong city to resist the Qin army. go ahead.
Therefore, Gongsun Yan has always been confident because he has this strong city behind him.
The Yan army spies returned all the way to the Chinese army's tent.
In the big tent, the generals were still discussing matters.
Among them, Gongsun Miao was the general marshal of the Qin Dynasty, and Gongsun Yan was the military advisor. Many famous generals of the Yan State under his command accompanied him on the expedition.
Gongsun Yuan, Gongsun Xu, Wang Wen and other famous generals of Yan State. It can be said that in order to deal with the Qin army this time, half of the generals of Yan State have gathered here.
The spy walked into the tent, knelt on the ground, and reported to the generals, "To the generals and military advisors, we just discovered at the border that Qin's 400,000-strong army was breaking camp and retreating."
"If my subordinates think something is fishy, I will report it first."
"Did the Qin army retreat?" Gongsun Miao frowned slightly, and immediately stood up from his chair. He had many doubts in his heart. After fighting for a year, the Qin army did not get any benefits, but military supplies and waste. A lot.
In the end, he actually wanted to retreat? Is this an order from Dongfang Yu or a trick by the Qin army?
"Military advisor, look at this... Is the Qin army's retreat true or false?"
This really makes people a little undecided. Even Gongsun Yan was in disbelief after hearing the news, and kept stroking his beard with his hand.
Then he shook his head and was not sure, "The Qin army never plays by the rules when fighting. If Jiangyin really withdraws 400,000 troops from the border, he would not dare to make such a big decision alone. Maybe... Dongfang Yu , gave the retreat order personally!”
"Everyone, the Qin Army has been fighting for a year. Even if it is on the border, it is still an expedition. But we are fighting at our doorstep. The Qin Army consumes much more supplies than we do! Maybe there are big changes in the country; Or some of the ministers of the Qin Dynasty had objections."
"This time, the Qin army may really want to retreat! We can't speculate on this matter. If we just rely on guessing, our army is likely to fall into passivity. Send an order, our army will increase its investigation efforts, and all spies will be placed at the border , observe the movements of the Qin army, and report any abnormalities at any time."
It can be seen that as soon as the Qin army moved, the entire top management of Yan State was extremely nervous and turbulent. Speaking of which, the top generals of Yan State were really incompetent. Even Jiang Yin, this stupid boy who had led such a large army for the first time, was helpless.
If all the five divine generals of the Qin Dynasty were present, the people of Yan State would be scared to death.
Of course, the entire Yan army was on alert. The entire army is ready for war. Once there is any movement from the Qin army, they will respond accordingly.
When the Qin Army's 400,000 troops were really retreating to Youzhou, Gongsun Yan and others were really confused.
"Retreated, really retreated like this?" Gongsun Yan couldn't believe it.
It is a pity that their spies from the Yan Kingdom cannot enter Youzhou, otherwise! He really needed to see whether the Qin army was stationed in Youzhou or whether the army had returned to the court.
At this moment, the soldiers outside the camp hurriedly ran into the tent.
"Report!"
"Reporting to the general and military advisor, Jiang Hao, the envoy of the Qin Army, has arrived!"
Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Miao looked at each other.
In this year, Jiang Hao went from an unknown young general to a famous general that was often talked about by both Qin and Yan. The latter's courage and talent are both top-notch and enviable.
Of course, it is very normal for the enemy and ourselves to understand each other who the generals of each party are.
"What is Jiang Ping doing? Who is he representing?" Gongsun Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Military advisor, the Qin State will not really want to cease war with our Yan State!" Gongsun Miao said.
After saying this, everyone felt a little excited.
"Let Jiang Hao come in!"
Gongsun Yan said.
"promise!"
After a while, Jiang Hao and other entourage arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
Entering this military camp, there was no expression on Jiang Hao's face. The moment he stepped into the tent, Jiang Hao looked calm and had no disturbance in his heart.
hehe!
A smile appeared on Jiang Hao's mouth.
After a year of fighting, we are all old friends.
"General Gongsun Miao, General Gongsun Yan, long time no see!" Jiang Hao clasped his fists.
"Jiang Hao, what are you doing here?" Gongsun Yan frowned.
"Of course I have something to discuss with your country!" Jiang Hao continued, "Our army has withdrawn from Youzhou to rest and recuperate, and we will not be interested in the Yan Kingdom in the near future."
"My Majesty has appointed me as an envoy to the State of Yan to find Emperor Yan."
"Everyone, please take me to find Emperor Yan!"
Retreat, really retreat.
Of course, only Gongsun Yan understood that the Qin army just withdrew to Youzhou to rest, which meant that the Qin army might launch another attack on Yan at any time.
"On Emperor Wu's order? Are you here to seek peace?"
Gongsun Yan asked.
"of course not!"
"As for what it is, I can't say anything for now. My Majesty said that I need to hear Emperor Yan's answer in person before I can complete the task."
Jiang Hao sent an envoy. He believed that with his sharp tongue, he would be able to convince Emperor Yan to send an envoy to Da Qin. Of course, if he didn't come, he wouldn't lose his life.
When two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed. This is an eternal truth.
Gongsun Yan hesitated for a moment, but still agreed: "Okay, I will take you back to Youdu and go to the pilgrimage."
