Chapter 601

After pondering for a long time, Wei Zheng asked in a suspicious voice, "how about our army to attack Qingyuan first? Qingyuan city defense is solid. As long as our army takes over Qingyuan City and relies on its city defense before the wind forces arrive, it will not be a problem to resist the wind force for two or three months with the grain and materials stored in the city. "

With a faint smile, Chang sun Yuanhong asked, "and then?"

"And then? And then, of course, when the king sends troops to help. "

"No way!" Long sun Yuanhong waved his hand and said, "there are no soldiers in the capital now. Otherwise, the king will not send me back in a hurry. Our army is now an isolated army. Without reinforcement, we can only fight alone. Even if we can occupy Qingyuan before the wind forces arrive, we will have to be surrounded by the wind corps and trapped in the city. At that time, not only we will suffer, but also hundreds of thousands of people in the city will be involved. In addition, Qingyuan is a county city. In the past, maybe a lot of grain and materials have been hoarded, but after being occupied by the wind forces, you can still Make sure that the wind forces still keep all the food and materials in the city? What if it's an empty city? Can our army persist for two or three months without food and grass? "

When asked by Chang sun Yuanhong, Wei Zheng did not have any words. He nodded secretly. Chang sun Yuanhong's worries were not unreasonable. Seizing Qingyuan was a dangerous move. If one is careless, it will hurt the whole army and the people in the whole city. This is the best strategy! Thinking of this, he asked, "is there really no way for our army to go?"

Long sun Yuanhong said: "the same sentence, retreat to Hexi, die to the West invasion of the wind force, after pacifying the Duji people in the north, then concentrate their forces to fight against Hedong and recover the lost territory!"

Wei Zheng said in surprise: "what Fengguo wants is Hedong? Will they continue to go west? "

Chang sun Yuanhong shook his head and laughed and said, "the human heart is not enough for the snake to swallow the elephant! What's more, Tang Yin is not a person who can easily be satisfied. "

Wei Zheng took a cool breath, his eyes turned and nodded thoughtfully.

At the behest of Chang sun Yuanhong, the Ning army did not stay outside Qingyuan City any more. The whole army packed up the barracks, only took the soft and complicated supplies, and retreated to the West overnight. This retreat led by Chang sun Yuanhong and Wei Zheng, more than 100000 troops in the western part of Ningguo, led by Chang sun Yuanhong and Wei Zheng, retreated all the way through Zhanghe River. The whole army stationed between Yongzhou and Shunchang on the West Bank of Zhanghe River, set up a camp, and moved from Yongzhou City to Heshun city More than 300 warships and more than 20000 Navy troops were transferred from Changcheng, and they were ready to defend the West Bank.

The first battle between the Western army of Ningguo and the Feng army in Hedong finally ended with the active retreat of the Western army. It seems that the Western army was defeated, but the two sides lost almost the same number of troops. The casualties of the Western army of Ningguo were 50000, and the casualties of the Feng army were about 50000. The 400000 elite Fengjun troops who entered Hedong at the beginning of the war have been cut down by more than half, and the remaining 200000 troops are over 200000.

When the War reached such a level, Fengguo could certainly accept it. It was worthwhile to exchange 200000 casualties for the whole Hedong area, no matter from any angle. The domestic dignified atmosphere was replaced by sudden joy. Fengguo had so many generations of monarchs who wanted to recover Hedong, but none of them succeeded. Fengren thought that he would never see Hedong return to the local land in his life. Unexpectedly, such a powerful Ningguo was defeated by Tang Yin, the new monarch of his own country. If the large Hedong area was recovered by Tang Yin, the opposition to Tang Dynasty was no longer heard in Fengguo The voice of Tang Yin, people's attitude towards Tang Yin has gradually changed from the original wait-and-see to blind worship. Almost all Fengren firmly believe that Tang Yin is the monarch who can lead the wind country to become more and more powerful, and the king who can make himself live a good life.

Facts have proved that Tang Yin made Fengguo stronger and more prosperous. However, he also brought endless wars to Fengguo, making Fengguo the center of chaos and war.

In the eyes of Ningren, Ningguo is the most powerful vassal state in the northern part of the Empire and even the whole empire. The army of Ning army is invincible and invincible division. As a result, the first battle of Hedong broke the confidence of Ningren and nearly a million central government The army was defeated in Hedong. Sun Yuanhong, the first general of Ningguo, also suffered defeat in Hedong. He had to retreat to the west of Zhanghe River. The successive defeats made Ning people confused. People are like this. The stronger the self-confidence is and the higher the position is, the more vulnerable people will become. The more vulnerable they will be, the more vulnerable they will be. This is the situation in Ningguo.

No minister dares to fight any more on the court Hall of Liangzhou. What people worry most is what to do if the wind forces continue to advance westward and attack Liangzhou directly? Now the capital city has no soldiers and no generals. What will be used to resist the wind force? The ministers agreed and made peace with the wind country.

Yan Chu couldn't sleep soundly these two days. He really couldn't understand that the wind force was fighting in different places, and the national strength was empty. Moreover, there were only 400000 people. How could he defeat his million army? Company commander sun Yuanhong was not the enemy of the Feng army. Did the wind army get help from heaven or the problem was his own side?

In the early days, the palace of Ningguo was the main hall.

As soon as Yan Chu sat down on the king's chair, Zhang Zhihong, the right prime minister, stepped out of the train and bowed his hand and said, "king, I have something to play for."

Yan Chu took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "speak!"

"King, the 200000 army of general changsun and general Wei has been defeated in Hedong and is now retreating to Hexi."Before Zhang Zhihong finished speaking, Yan chumeng clapped the table, and the loud noise made by him reverberated in the hall. Zhang Zhihong and the ministers on both sides of the body a shudder, coincidentally kneel down. Yan Chu stood up, looked around the ministers kneeling below, and cried out: "I heard about this news last night. Don't you have anything else to play?"

"King" Zhang Zhihong spat in his throat and said in a trembling voice: "the wind army has been prepared for this battle. I'm afraid that what the Fengjun wants is not Hedong, but the whole country of Ning. Now our army is restrained by the Dukes in the north, and the capital is no longer available. Once the wind force continues to approach the west, I'm afraid it will go straight to the capital city!"

Yan Chuqi's body was trembling, but he could not deny that Zhang Zhihong's statement was also true. Now he has no soldiers in his hands. He clenched his fist and his nails were put into the palm of his hand to force himself to calm down. He calmed down and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, in your opinion, how can China defend the enemy?"

"Peace! Keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and attack others later! " Zhang Zhihong quickly raised his head and said, "king, the wind country is poor. Sending troops to our country is just for the sake of face, gold and silver, and food. Since they want these things, we will give them. The king can cede Hedong first and give more gold and silver to stabilize the wind people. After solving the problems in the north, he can use his energy to deal with the Fengguo. At that time, our army will be prosperous Yan Chu's face turned white at first, then turned red. He bit his teeth and said, "Zhang Aiqing, are you asking Gu Xiangfeng to admit defeat and cede land to compensate?"

Zhang Zhihong, of course, understood that it was extremely difficult for Yan Chu to admit defeat because of his arrogant personality. In addition, it was even more difficult to accept the ceding of Hedong and compensation for the war losses of Fengguo. He sighed and said, "king, this is also an expedient measure that can not be taken! Now the wind is strong and I am weak. If we do not make certain concessions, the consequences will be disastrous. But the king doesn't have to worry. When China's military strength recovers and cedes the Hedong area to Fengguo in the future, Daning can recover the gold and silver given to Fengguo, and I can also double the gold and silver given to Fengguo. Please think twice! "

In Yan Chu's mind, it would have been a ridiculous thing to pay compensation for the cession of land. Who dares to say so, he would have put the man to death on the spot. But now, he really can't find any other way to resist the wind force. Yan Chu seemed to have been hit by a dull hammer. He stood up and swayed twice. He sat down slowly. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "do all of you think you should do this?"

Hearing his question, all the people who did not get up on the ground knelt down and kowtowed one after another. They all said in unison: "it is the best policy to stabilize Fengren by expedient measures, to protect our Daning foundation, to keep a low profile, and to make plans in the future. This is the best policy. Please enlighten the king!"

"Ha ha," Yan Chu laughed. Looking at the man Dynasty Minister of civil and military affairs, he couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh. When the country was in danger, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were greedy for life and death, and no one dared to step forward. This is the ministers he relied on!

People don't understand why Yan Chu laughs, but they can also hear the irony in the laughter. They looked at each other with their heads down, and said with one voice: "to make peace with Fengguo is to ensure our country's land, the foundation of our country for thousands of years, but also to protect the people of Daning from the war. Wang Yingming, please make a decision!"

Yan Chu hums and laughs. He understands what the ministers in the court are thinking. These ministers are the traditional aristocrats of Ningguo. Their fiefdoms are not in Hedong. Even if Hedong is ceded to Fengguo, there is no loss for them. However, the loss of Hedong is immeasurable for the whole Ningguo.

But what can we do if we don't make peace? Once the wind forces break through Zhanghe River, what should zhiliangzhou do? Are they forced to move their capital? Thinking of this, Yan Chu closed his eyes and sighed for a long time. Then he stood up and shook his robe sleeve. He walked out and said, "since all of you love Qing want to make peace, you can make peace according to your wishes. As for the specific content, you can discuss and decide. After you make a plan, you can show it to me."

With this sentence, the hearts of the ministers who talked about their voices finally fell down. People all kowtowed and cried out, "my king is holy and bright!"

Yan Chu, who had gone outside the hall, listened to the cry behind him. He shook his head helplessly and laughed bitterly.
