I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 58
After deciding to retreat, the Qingtang nobles also moved from watching the battle on the building car to the Great Buddha House, and then discussed the order of retreating.

Mi Hong of Liuzhi Township, who was in charge of central dispatch, formulated a detailed retreat plan, including the retreat order of each department, the location of the march, and the tasks to be undertaken during the retreat.

In fact, such an arrangement is difficult to make. After all, the strength gap between the various ministries and the relationship between each other must be considered. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider whether the various ministries will be convinced after the arrangement is made.

After all, the troops in charge of the rear are responsible for guarding against pursuers.

"The army behind the palace is commanded by General Ximoming. The Rendo Department will send out a thousand-man team, the Yeli Ministry will send out a thousand-man team, the central Wanhu team will send out a thousand-man team, and the Prince Ah Wu's army will send out a thousand-man team, plus There are 1000 troops under General Ximoming, 5000 in total.”

"For the rest of the tribes, Lord Ah Wu goes first, followed by the Renduo tribe, the Wanhu tribe in the middle, the Yeli tribe behind, and our tribe last."

"If the Jin army attacks, the Rendo tribe will be on the left and the Yeli tribe will be on the right during the march, and the left and right wings will take advantage of the trend, forming a five-army force."

The arrangement of Mihong in Liuzhi Township basically covered everything. The troops behind the palace sent out a team of one thousand each, and the fierce general Xi Moming was in charge. The other five troops marched in sequence.

"Majesty, old Prime Minister, generals, do you think there are any omissions in the arrangement?"

Lun Zanpo shook his head, indicating that he had no opinion, and the other ministries also felt that such an arrangement was the most appropriate at the moment.

Tuoba Chide said: "Mihong's arrangement is very appropriate, and all the ministries are preparing to march according to this arrangement."

Here, Tuoba Chide made a decision as a maharajah, and a resolution was formed. Just as everyone was about to disperse, the guards came to report that it was Shule City who sent a captured soldier back, saying that he brought the city guard Fu A gift from Tsugawa to the Maharaja.

This warrior is the centurion of Wanhu in the central area directly under the maharajah. He attacked the city of Shule yesterday because of his bravery, but was captured alive by the Jin army because of his lack of strength.

"Meet the majesty."

This centurion is considered a brave general in Wanhu in the central region, otherwise he would not have ascended the city first. Both Qingyi Jieguizhang and Maharaja Tuoba Chide knew him.

"Tashi Zeren, my good soldier, I am very glad that you are back. Yesterday I saw you rushing to the top of the city with my own eyes. What gift did Fu Jinchuan ask you to bring? But he is willing to let you back, it is a godsend to me one's gift."

Tashi Zeren was moved to tears by what Tuoba Chide said, "I will fight tomorrow, and I am willing to rush to Shule City again for the majesty."

Tashi Zeren, who didn't know what happened, made the Qingtang dignitaries in the entire Great Buddha House blush. A centurion still has the courage to fight again, and these big men are still planning to retreat just now.

Tuoba Chide also felt a little hot, "Ahem, come to think of it, Fu Jinchuan, a Jin general, why would he think of giving me a gift? What did he give?"

Zhaxi Zeren knelt on the ground and lifted a package that he brought back just now, and said, "Majesty, is this package that Ya Luoshan of Jin State asked me to bring?"

Ya Luoshan, Qingtang language means "God of War." Tuoba Chide heard a warrior under his command call a Jin general as Ya Luoshan, and felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show any abnormality.

Because he knew that not only Tashi Zeren in front of him, but also many Qingtang warriors called the general of Jin in the city that way, and Qingtang people worshiped the strong.

The heroic figure of leading hundreds of iron cavalry to make a vertical and horizontal assault that day is deeply etched in the memory of Qingtang people.So "God of War Ya Luoshan" became Fu Jinchuan's title in Qingtang Shizhong.

"Hand it over."

Tuoba Chide looked a little worried, and his subordinate Nu Yalang stepped forward to pick up the package, and handed it to him.

Then another Nu Yalang went behind to untie the package.

At this time, the eldest prince Tuobahao said: "Wait a minute, this package was sent by Fu Jinchuan, how do you know there is no poison or hidden weapon inside?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Tuoba Hao, but he was a little at a loss.

From Tuobahao's point of view, he just mentioned a possibility, and the fundamental purpose was to consider his father's safety.

Tuoba Chide said with a smile: "Ya Luoshan from Jin, how could he be a poisoned young man? Open him."

As soon as these words came out, Tuoba Hao's face became a little hot, and the other people didn't look at him, but became curious about the gift.

When Nu Yalang opened the package, he kept his body in front of the package, fearing that some kind of flying needle or poisonous snake would suddenly fly out of it and pounce on the majesty, but when he opened it, he was also relieved.

There is only a brocade robe and a letter inside.

When everyone saw the brocade robe, they immediately felt familiar, but also felt strange.

Tuoba Chide, who was also a little strange, said: "Gui Zhang, you are proficient in the Central Plains characters, read it for everyone."

Then Nu Yalang picked up the letter and put it in front of Qingyi Jieguizhang.

Qing Yijie Guizhang opened the envelope, took out the letter, first read the contents of the letter by himself, and then sighed.

"Majesty, otherwise don't read it."

Guizhang's reaction made Tuoba Chide very surprised, and the others were even more surprised. Could it be that Fu Jinchuan said too many vulgar words in the letter?Or do you want to humiliate Qing Tang?
Tuoba Chide said: "Read it, ghost chapter, no matter what it is, read it out, you can't defeat the Qingtang warriors on the Xihai Plateau with words."

Guizhang sighed again, and then said: "I know that Maharaja is going to return to Qingtang, and he is leaving without saying goodbye, but our state of Jin is a state of etiquette, and we have a gift to give to Majesty when we part. The brocade robe was worn by me the day before yesterday. It was covered with the blood of the loyal and brave men of the Qing and Tang Dynasties. Although I am a native of Jin, I still admire the loyalty and bravery of these soldiers. I don’t want to wash away the blood of loyalty and bravery. On the occasion of parting, I will present it to the majesty as a souvenir. A handwritten letter from Shangbang General Fu Jinchuan."

After Tuoba Chide heard this, he stood up, pushed away Nu Yalang who was standing in front of him, went to pick up the brocade robe and opened it, it was indeed covered with blood stains, it was Fu Jinchuan The brocade robe worn during the battle.

And as he said above, the red color on the brocade robe is the blood of loyalty and bravery shed by the warriors of the Qingtang Dynasty.

"Ahhh"

Tuoba Chide couldn't bear it anymore, holding the blood-stained brocade robe in his hands, his eyes were red, and he uttered a deep mournful cry.

"Ah, brother."

In addition to the Maharaja, Xi Moming, whose brother died in battle, also exclaimed in grief.

And many nobles also felt sympathetic when they thought of the fallen flowers and flowing water killed by Fu Jinchuan that day.

Only the old Prime Minister sighed, "Fu Xun has a grandson like this. We are all going to die in the city of Shule."

After speaking, Lun Zanpo stood up and walked out of the Great Buddha House.

Mi Hong from Liuzhi Township said, "Your Majesty."

Tuoba Chide waved his hands with red eyes: "Needless to say, I know he's trying to motivate me to stay and attack the city. The army will march out normally tomorrow, and it's a pity to withdraw the troops according to the original deployment."

"I will avenge my shame in the future."

When the generals heard this, they were also relieved. Retreating is the most sensible choice now. Staying to continue fighting means facing the enemy's pincer attack.

And in such a situation, Tuoba Chide's forbearance is also admirable for being able to maintain reason.

But everyone was a little puzzled by the old country's words of praise and disapproval, and some even caught up with him and told him that the majesty did not waver.
Still decided to withdraw.

But the old Prime Minister just shook his head and sighed, "There is no chance."

Lun Zanpo returned to the tent, sat down and drank a bowl of buttered tea, and then told his two grandsons.

"You two, take your bags and dry food now, don't bring too many people, twenty is enough, leave immediately, don't stop, if there are our Qingtang scouts, tell them I told you to go ahead and scout Road. Remember, don’t stop until you have crossed the Tanju Ridge.”

Lun Karzhen didn't understand, "Grandfather, didn't we withdraw our troops tomorrow? Even if our tens of thousands of troops can't take down Shule, it should be no problem to retreat, right? Why?"

Lun Zan Po said: "Don't ask why, I can't leave, and the majesty will not let me go, but he will not stop you two from leaving, Kazhen, you will be the patriarch of our Lun clan in the future. Small tribe, if you want to survive in Qingtang, you can't rely on brute force, you can only rely on wisdom, so you have to listen to Rixu more, understand?"

At this time, Lun Rixu said without saying a word: "Grandfather, can you tell us what happened?"

Lun Zanpo didn't want to talk about it at first, but after thinking about it, he still told his two grandsons what happened in the Great Buddha House today.

"This grandson of Fu Xun is really powerful. Seeing the [-] army under the city, he dared to lead a few hundred people to attack and attack the crowd. His troops were besieged, and he escaped at first, but resolutely turned around to rescue him. This is kindness and righteousness; seeing our army is about to leave, he resorted to such aggressive tactics, which is witty."

"Tomorrow he won't let us go. He will go out to fight in the city. As long as he leads the army out of the city, the majesty will definitely feel that the opportunity has come again. As long as we hesitate, we will have no chance to go back. Xue Cong is already very close to here. If you don’t show up, you’re just waiting for the right time. Besides, Shule City is not far from Guazhou. With this young man’s identity, how can there be no reinforcements? I haven’t shown up yet, or it’s because we’re waiting for an opportunity. Two rivers blocked our scouts. It's useless to pass."

"So you have to leave now, there is still time to leave now, tomorrow, it will be too late"

Lun Gazhen wanted to say something, but Lun Rixu looked at his grandfather with some reluctance, because he was smart and understood that his grandfather's judgment would never be wrong, leaving life and death in doubt.

In the end, under the stern urging of Lun Zanpo, the two could only take their bags and set out on the road.

Hearing that Nu Yalang was reporting the news that Tuo Guoxiang's two grandsons were heading south with twenty riders, Tuoba Chide didn't say anything.

As long as Lun Zan smashed the "Qing Tang Army God" who made him a little jealous, the others would not be a big problem.

On the morning of the fifth day, Xi Moming, who was in charge of the rear of the palace, led five thousand-man troops out of the camp to guard.The rest of the ministries pulled out their camps as planned and prepared to withdraw their troops.

The tribe of Tuoba Awu in the front part has already set off one after another, and the Renduo tribe in the second part has also completed their formation. At Wanhu in the middle part, the maharaja Tuoba Chide boarded the building car
Only Xi Moming's troops, with five thousand men in a strict formation, lined up with spears and spears, were facing the direction of the city gate to prevent Fu Jinchuan from leading the cavalry to attack again.

Xi Moming even looked forward to it, he was caught off guard last time, if Fu Jinchuan dared to fight this time, he would just avenge his brother!Also use the battle that Qingtang is good at, and tell him that Qingtang also has warriors!
And Fu Jinchuan did not disappoint them.

The drums and horns at the head of the city began to sound, and the flags were waved.

The gate of the city was opened, and the Jin army went out to fight.
