Dajin royal family

Chapter 41 Two Ways

It would take ten days at least to drive the cavalry from Wuyuan County to attack Qi County. I am afraid that before he arrives, the King of Han has already been defeated, and by then it will be too late.

At this moment, the bell of "jingling bell" suddenly sounded in the hall.Jiang Ling looked at Yu Chijiong and said, "Go down and see how the preparations are going. I'll change my clothes and go over to host the meeting later."

"Okay." Yuchi retreated.

Jiang Ling was left alone in the hall, "Come out." He said lightly, trying to stabilize his emotions, hoping that the Eighteen Horsemen of the Black Water would bring good news.

A man with a black mask appeared from a corner, half kneeling on the ground, he bowed his head and cupped his hands and said: "Master, the prince is out of danger."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly let go of his clenched fists.

"Well done, Black One."

The man in the black mask continued: "The master is too well-respected. It is not our credit for rescuing the son this time."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ling wondered, "What do you mean?"

Hei Yidao: "When we arrived at Qi County, the prince had already escaped from Qi County, and he was followed by five hundred cavalrymen. Only after we killed those cavalry did we know that the prince took hostages and escaped from Qi County. In order to ensure that the prince can escape, We intercepted and killed all the chasing cavalry from behind. Therefore, it was not the prince we rescued, if the prince was not smart this time, the mission would be difficult, and the master should punish him."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Hostage? The King of Han?"

In his opinion, only the King of Han as a hostage can make those trilogy fight against the rat and let Jiang Chengxiao go.

Hei Yi shook his head and said: "No, we arrested a soldier of the other party and tortured him. The son of the Han King Jiang Yicheng was kidnapped by the prince. According to what the captured soldier said, the prince cut off Jiang Yicheng's fingers and forced them to let them go."

Cut off a finger?
Jiang Ling thought to himself, when did his sick son become so vicious and decisive, and then he thought that he hadn't paid attention to this son for a long time, maybe his temperament was just like this.

"Forget it, since he is fine, your mission is not considered a failure. This time you fought against the cavalry of the King of Han, tell us your opinion." Jiang Ling said.Since Jiang Chengxiao is fine, it is naturally not a mission failure.

Hei Yi said: "If you look at the cavalry who chased and killed the prince this time, the cavalry of the King of Han are vulnerable, but these cavalry are left behind in Qi County, and they may be messenger soldiers, so Hei Yi dare not speak nonsense."

Jiang Ling thought about it a little, the "vulnerable" in Hei Yi's mouth was not of much reference value, and his Heishui Eighteen Cavalry also had the upper hand against the elite Turkic Golden Wolf Cavalry.

In the suburban county of Dongjun, Yang Taisu camped.

At present, the army of the imperial court has completed the encirclement of the King of Han's anti-army. The defeat of the King of Han is a matter of time, but Yang Taisu is not in a hurry to defeat the King of Han immediately, because the tighter he pushes, the King of Han may counterattack with death will, and he may win at that time , but his own damage will also be greatly increased.

Therefore, he will slowly oppress the King of Han and dispel his fighting spirit.More importantly, he couldn't let the King of Han die in his own hands.It is true that the king of Han should be punished for his rebellion, but the one who is qualified to kill the king of Han is not himself, but the emperor.

"Father, if we join forces with General Yuwen and attack from two sides, the King of Han will definitely be defeated. Why not send troops?" Yang Gan stood aside, somewhat puzzled by his father's decision.

Yang Taisu glanced at his 30-year-old son, and sighed inexplicably in his heart. The idiot has some strength, but he is not smart enough.He pointed out: "The trapped beast is still fighting, the King of Han still has 10,000+ soldiers and horses in his hands, a decisive battle will cause too much loss to our army, do you understand?"

Yang Gan said: "I would like to lead the army to be the vanguard and take down Qi County for the commander in chief."

Yang Taisu interrupted with a wave of his hand, "No, I have my own opinion."

At this time, a group of generals walked into the big tent, and the leader was the house builder of the brave general who fought this time.

"Commander, our army has advanced thirty miles, and the rebel army has not moved for the time being, please show me, Commander."

"General Fang has worked hard. This commander has sent an order to General Yuwen to attack Qi County, making it difficult for the rebels to take care of them. The rebels will be defeated and surrender soon." Yang Taisu said.

"Commander, if the rebels lead the army back, will General Yuwen be in danger?" a general asked aloud.

Yang Taisu shook his head, "If the rebels lead the army back to help, our army can drive straight in and besiege Qi County within three days, and the rebels will be defeated at that time. What's more, General Yuwen's troops are all cavalry, in case things change, You can retreat to Xindu County, safe and secure."

No matter how Jiang Liang struggles, his defeat has become a fact.

Weijun, Hanwang camp.

Han Wangliang's mood fell to the bottom in the past two days, Luoyang was not won, and now he is surrounded by two soldiers from the imperial court, the situation is extremely bad.

There are two roads before him, the first is to retreat to Qi County, stick to the land of Qilu, and fight against the imperial army, but this is not realistic, relying on the land of Qilu will still be defeated by the imperial court sooner or later.

The second is to fight Yang Taisu recklessly, drive him back, and forcibly march westward to occupy Luoyang, complete his previous plan to send troops, split the connection between Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and divide the confrontation between the world.

But the problem is that this one is also difficult to deal with, because the two armies had a decisive battle before, and as a result, their own side was defeated and more than 2 people died.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Cui Qi opened the big tent and walked in, "My lord, there is news from the north that the Dai Wang has defeated the Turks."

"what?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer falling on his chest, choking his breath.Dai Wang defeated the Turks, once the imperial court ordered him to lead the army to the south, would he still have hope?The 40 soldiers and horses in the hands of Dai Wang are all wolf soldiers who have been fighting the Turks all year round. They are stronger than the Guanzhong Army in the hands of Yang Taisu. How can the soldiers and horses under his own hands resist him.

Cui Qi cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the defeat of our army this time is not the fault of a schemer. If Xiao Daoyan defeated Yu Wenshu in Changping County, we will take the initiative now."

"Sir, what's the use of saying this now?" The king of Han became angry, and it wasn't the fault of a scheming man, but it meant that his soldiers would be disadvantaged in battle.

Cui Qi continued: "My lord, calm down, there are still two ways."

"Say."

Cui Qi said: "Firstly, before Yu Wenshu completed the encirclement, our army immediately led the army to fight to the death with Yang Taisu's army, and the battle was sure to win. If we advance westward and occupy Luoyang, then Yu Wenshu's army will become a fish in a urn."

Han Wangliang felt that it was unrealistic. In the previous battle, his army was defeated head-on, and now his morale is not available, but Yang Taisu is fighting with the victory, which is not good for him.

"What about the second rule?"

Cui Qi said: "My lord abandoned the Central Plains, led the army south to occupy the health, and ruled the river with the imperial court, using the natural danger of the Yangtze River to fight against the imperial court, and led the army to the north after everything stabilized."

Han Wangliang was stunned, he thought that Cui Qi's second route was to retreat to the land of Qilu, how could it be the south.

"What do you mean?" Han Wang asked.

Cui Qi explained: "My lord, the world has only been unified for [-] years. Although there is a foolish king in the south, the people's hearts have not yet joined. As long as the flag is set up in the south, there will be a crowd of people to respond. At that time, the army's morale and people's strength will be available, and great things will be accomplished."

"My lord must not!" A voice came from outside the big tent.
