Vol 3 Chapter 1646: Do not retreat

Northern Wei, Pingcheng.
Tuobagui's independent city head, looking at the east in the distance, was in deep contemplation, while Cui Hong and Antong stood on his left and right respectively. I don't know when to start. The two great ministers of Han and Hu have become him. No matter what decision he makes, he will discuss with the two.
Cui Hong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, but worried about what Murong Cui personally led the army to come?"
Tuobamin murmured: "Unexpectedly, Hou Yanshen and He defeated and lost 80,000 troops, but they can come back so quickly. I really underestimated Murong Cui's ability."
An Tong Shen said: "This time Murong Cui's soldiers came to revenge, and even the Longcheng troops in their hometown of Liaoxi were used. If we can defeat them this time, then Yan Yan can really be wiped out in one fell swoop. "
Tuobagui turned his head to look at Cui Hong: "Mr. Cui, do you think Master An makes sense, do we have the possibility of defeating Murong Chui in a decisive battle here?"
Cui Hong said indifferently: "There is no possibility of victory. Your majesty, all we have to do now is to withdraw our troops quickly, return to the grasslands, and take the treasures we robbed from Binzhou with the plundered population. Leave nothing behind. "
An Tong shook his head: "It was your proposal that Mr. Cui entered the army and joined the state. He said that he could occupy Qin Kangyan and enter the bridgehead of the Central Plains. Why don't you retreat without fighting now?"
Cui Hong sighed: "At this moment, at that moment, I thought that after the fiasco of the Hehebei, the sons of Murong Chui would shirk their responsibilities to each other. Murong Chui would take time to appease the inside. It seems that things are not so simple. We killed more than 50,000 Yan troops and decapitated more than 20,000. Hou Yan lost more than 80,000 people. Almost every family was killed. Now they are fighting with the enemy. All the contradictions and disputes are put aside. Murong Cui, who has been seriously ill and has gone out of his own life despite being over seventy years old, is a mourning soldier and it is difficult to attack him. "
"In contrast, our army, starting from hitting Liu Weichen, won a series of consecutive victories and plundered heavily. This time, we broke through all parts of the state and hardly encountered any decent resistance. We got so many big cities, Xiyan ’s wealth for many years, the former Qin operated here for ten years. All the food for the rest of the year fell into my hands, and there are more than 200,000 households who have become slaves plundered by the various ministries. Now everyone in our army has taken advantage of it. I want to enjoy it after returning home. The fruits of these victories have become arrogant soldiers against the mourning soldiers. With the well-equipped Yan Army, the guard forces of Longcheng and Yecheng are fierce. If our army is forced to fight with it, it will be defeated. undoubtedly!"
A rough voice sounded in the back: "Cui Hong, you shake the army's heart, and want us to give up the hard-earned territory, why do you want it?"
Tuobagui hooked the corner of his mouth, looked at a heavy armor, and walked along the muscles supporting the armor for a while. The tall and burly giant Tuobaqian, like a bear, smiled slightly: "Aqian, you are here, Breaking through Jinyang, you are the first one, I haven't washed you yet. "
Tuoba Qiang waved his hand: "I don't want to tell Brother Huang about this now, and the state was beaten down by our own hands. From Datong to Jinyang, every inch of the place was a battle for the soldiers. How can you say it is abandoned? Our prairie boys have n’t really penetrated into the Central Plains like this for hundreds of years, and have conquered the prefecture. Now we have a big state, and we ca n’t give up. Although Murong Chui came here, the Yan army was defeated and everyone was frightened. His expedition this time is just to show that he can still fight and settle down the hearts of the people. As long as we can hold here, and within a month, his rear will be chaotic. Hebei, Liaoxi, all ethnic groups and ministries will definitely According to the rebellion of the state, by then, we will send out troops again, and we can wipe out the entire Houyan in one fell swoop! "
Tuobagui glanced at Antong: "Master An, do you think so too?"
An Tong raised the corner of his mouth: "In fact, Murong Chui's rule is not stable, but only by force to suppress. Before that, Qin Fu Pi and Ding Ling Zhai Bin have been sawing for many years, and there is no advantage. Once there is a small disadvantage, many states The county will rebel again. This time, the defeat of Yanhe, Yan Army lost almost all its mobile units. Now, in order to stabilize the people, they have to take out the troops that look at their hometown. The state is not the core area of ​​Houyan, but Muronghui still comes It ’s more to stabilize people ’s hearts. If we retreat without a fight, we ’ll hit him, so that he can clean up people ’s hearts without any effort. Therefore, we must fight this battle, here and in the state, Never retreat! "
Cui Hong sighed: "Murong Cui has a peerless talent. Murong Yong is a famous general. He has been in Bingzhou for many years. Under his attack, he died in a few months. We have no foundation in Bingzhou. There is no possibility of victory. Besides, our army has become an arrogant soldier, and he wants to return home, and he does n’t want to fight. Murong Cui is over seventy years old. At that time, it is a good opportunity for us to formally exterminate the swallows. Why is it that your majesty is in such a hurry? "
Tuobagui sighed: "If Murong is dying and Houyan is in chaos, then I am afraid that it is not only our family to fight this Houyan idea, don't forget, Mr. Cui, my good Agan is still in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and succeeds It may be a very quick thing to elide his crimes of collaborating with the enemy and mastering the army. If he takes control of the army, he will never miss the internal chaos, he will never miss it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But they made wedding dresses for Liu Yu and Dong Jin, and fulfilled their dream of returning to the country, didn't they lose money? "
Cui Hong gritted his teeth: "The Eastern Jin forces have not reached Hebei in the past century, and even the Central Plains and Henan have not been consolidated, and they will soon have a civil war, and they will be unable to go northward in a short time. Your Majesty, please check."
An Tong said with a sneer: "Hebei clan may not be the only one of you Cui's family. Didn't his surnamed Lu attract a lot of people in the last battle of Yecheng? Although Murong Chui wiped out the Lu family's trilogy in one battle, However, the influence of these large Han families in Hebei is not small. If they fall back to the Eastern Jin, who is also a Han, it will be troublesome. Your Majesty, and the state ca n’t give up. If you are worried about returning to the military, you can lead most of them first. Of the tribes returned, stay with a general in Binzhou, and lead the troops to guard! "
He said, looking at Tuobaqian and smiling slightly. Tuoba devoted his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to guard the Pingcheng, and never let Murong Chui pass over this city and enter my grassland again!"
Tuobagui nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, A Qian, then I will leave it to you in this state. I will bring the spoils and captives, and most of the tribes will return to Mobei to spend the winter and recuperate. After the coming summer, Ma Qun fat After being strong, I will sweep the Central Plains with an unprecedented army of grasslands! "
