Chapter 1297 Emperor Yuan VS Duke Qin (Part 1)
Chapter 1295: Emperor Yuan VS Duke Qin (Part 1)
Facts have proved that what Murong Ke has been chasing is obviously not all the Han troops who went out of the Frontier. Where did the remaining people go?
Of course, the answer is to go to Zhenbei Pass, otherwise where did the Han army attack Zhenbei Pass come from?
At that time, Yuan Meng was also preparing to attack Zhenbei Pass on both sides, and Murong Ke was the commander of the Southern Army at that time. However, Yang Ye, as the guard general, knew the weakness of Zhenbei Pass. In order to protect this weakness from being discovered by Yuan Meng, Yang Ye even voluntarily gave up Zhenbei Pass to confuse Yuan Meng, so the Han army counterattacked Zhenbei Pass later.
As the plan to attack Zhenbei Pass in two directions, Murong Ke knew very well what Zhenbei Pass meant to Yuanmeng. Once it was lost, more than 400,000 troops would face the danger of being wiped out.
When he thought of this, not to mention that Huo Qubing''s army had more than half of the casualties, even if one out of ten was missing, Murong Ke was not in the mood to continue to waste time with Huo Qubing in Mobei. He wanted to fly back and regain Zhenbei Pass immediately.
"A person coming, send an order immediately, give up all subsequent tasks, transfer the entire army and head towards Zhenbei Pass at full speed."
After issuing this order, Murong Ke seemed to have been drained and sat on the chair.
Through this period of battle, although Murong Ke chased the Han army all the way, he still realized how powerful Huo Qubing was.
Although the trouble caused to Murong Ke by the fierce generals such as Ran Min and Long Qi, even General Yu once again relied on his personal bravery to kill Murong Ke and had to humiliate him again, the threat of Huo Qubing in Murong Ke was ten times that of theirs.
What the Han people lack most is the talented cavalry commander, and Yuan Meng was most afraid of the birth of such people among the Han people.
In Murong Ke''s heart, Huo Qubing was a genius cavalry commander. He had never commanded a few cavalry battles in total, but his understanding of cavalry battles was no less than that of him, a famous grassland general.
Anyway, if there were identities exchanges, Murong Ke was not sure to use 20,000 cavalry to resist the siege of more than 100,000 cavalry for so long, and also broke the encirclement of more than 100,000 people several times.
Murong Ke really didn''t put any water at all, but Huo Qubing still lived well, so he was so afraid of Huo Qubing.
Murong Ke knew clearly that if he could not kill Huo Qubing this time, Huo Qubing would definitely lead more cavalry out of the frontier in the future. This person would be a disaster for all grassland people.
Although Murong Ke wished Huo Qubing to die, he could tell the priority. After all, compared with the more than 400,000 troops still in Hetao and the Yuan Emperor Temujin, Huo Qubing is simply not worth mentioning.
Eliminating the latter is just to eliminate a great future trouble for Yuan Meng. If the first two are lost, the entire Yuan Meng will face the risk of destroying the country.
So Murong Ke basically did not hesitate at all and decisively chose to regain Zhenzhen Beiguan.
Murong Ke hurriedly rushed back from Zhenbei Pass to Longcheng, and now hurriedly rushed back from Mobei.
Murong Ke can only place his hopes on Tolei, hoping that he can be more powerful and keep Huo Qubing completely.
Murong Ke''s departure also created a only way for Huo Qubingjun, who had been dead for the life-and-death period.
Compared with Murong Ke, Tolei''s ability to command troops is still much worse. Murong Ke''s army was unable to establish Huo Qubing, so how could Tolei do it?
Tuolei dispatched most of the troops in Longcheng and joined forces with major tribes in the northern part of the Mo to encircle and suppress Huo Qubing. However, not only did he fail to leave less than 10,000 disabled troops, but he paid a considerable price on his own.
Of course, Huo Qubing was also extremely difficult to fight, and even Huo Qubing himself almost died in battle. In this way, going out to the frontier became the most difficult part of the Hetao War.

When the news of the fall of Zhenbei Pass reached Ningxia County, Temujin decided to block the news without any hesitation. After all, if this news spread, it would be a huge blow to the entire army.
Temujin was shocked and panicked about the fall of Zhenbei Pass, but he was not too angry or unwilling to accept it.
The Han army''s plans this time are all round and one after another. Even Temujin himself did not find any clues, but was still being led by Qin Hao, so naturally we can''t blame others.
The major generals of Yuanmeng in Yinshan County, especially Murong Chui, were extremely nervous about the loss of Zhenbei Pass, for fear that Temujin would pursue their responsibility. But not only did Temujin not have any intention of holding them accountable, but also sent a letter from Feiying to comfort Murong Chui who had lost his beloved son, which also made all the major generals of Yuanmeng in Yinshan breathe a sigh of relief.
After appeased the generals in Yinshan, Temujin began to appease the generals in Ningxia again.
Although Temujin tried his best to block the news, how could such a major thing be blocked?
After learning that Zhenbei Pass had fallen and the retreat was cut off, all the Yuanmeng generals in Ningxia all shouted to go to Liangzhou to withdraw to the grassland to prevent the entire army from being wiped out. Temujin naturally could not agree to this.
"What''s the argument?"
After Temujin yelled, the hall, which was like a vegetable market before, became quiet in an instant, and no one dared to speak anymore.
Temujin''s eyes widened and said in a deep voice: "Do you all think you should withdraw your troops?"
A senior general stood up tremblingly and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the battle with the Han army has lasted for a long time, but our army''s retreat has been cut off. In the future, we will never get the food and grass supply from the grassland. If we do not withdraw, if the food and grass seized from Hetao are exhausted, we will really not be able to withdraw."
This general expressed everyone''s voice, and most of the Yuan and Meng generals nodded in agreement. After all, although there was a lot of food and grass seized from Hetao, it could not withstand the number of people in the Yuan and Meng army. Sooner or later, they would eat them all.
"Hmph, short-sighted."
Temujin snorted coldly with disdain, then asked back: "The journey to Liangzhou and return to Longcheng is more than a thousand miles. Even if we are willing to leave Hetao, will Qin Hao be willing to let us back to the grassland?"
Temujin''s question also left everyone speechless. Yes, how could Qin Hao watch them withdraw from Hetao?
Based on Temujin''s understanding of Qin Hao, since such a big pit has been laid, there must be a backup plan waiting for him. In Temujin''s view, retreat is the way to death without death.
With Yuan Meng''s total troops in Hetao, if he concentrated his troops to retreat, the Han army would have no choice but to do anything to him, but he could send troops to harass and delay the withdrawal speed during the Yuan Meng''s retreat, and to eliminate Yuan Meng''s troops little by little, and in the end, less than half of the people who could actually return to Longcheng.
Yuan Meng had already paid a huge price to get Hetao this time, but he had to pay a greater price, but in the end he could get nothing. How could Temujin accept this?
?The first update, the battle in Hetao has reached the final stage, and the final battle is a bit difficult to control. I got stuck yesterday, so I didn’t update, so I hope everyone will forgive me.
