Chapter 1326: Qin Wen is critically ill and Qin Hao returns
Zhuge Liang fought thousands of miles and arrived at the foot of Zhenbei Pass, he still had 30,000 cavalry under his command;
Bai Qi went north to Yinshan County and also brought 30,000 cavalrymen;
In other words, before the decisive battle began, the Han army had 60,000 cavalry in Yinshan County.
After the decisive battle, the Han army attacked Zhenbei Pass on both sides. Although they finally successfully seized the pass, they also lost 15,000 cavalry.
Afterwards, Li Jing led 5,000 cavalry, 10,000 main force and 20,000 militias to leave Yinshan City, and replaced 20,000 cavalry at Zhenbei Pass with 10,000 main force and 20,000 militias, and blocked Murong Chui''s 200,000 infantry and cavalry army with 25,000 cavalry.
Although Li Jing successfully blocked Murong Chui outside the pass, his cavalry were also damaged, and nearly 5,000 cavalry were injured and killed.
In other words, the Han army''s 60,000 elite cavalry were only 40,000 left.
Now, under the leadership of Li Jing, all of these 40,000 elite cavalry went south and pursued Murong Chui who broke through the south.
As all the cavalry moved south, the Han army''s total strength in Yinshan was only 20,000 main force and tens of thousands of militia, and they were also guarding Yinshan City and Zhenbeiguan.
For the Han army, such a weak distribution of troops is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, even Zhenbei Pass and Yinshan City may be broken, which is a worthless thing for the Han army who is sure to win.
However, it is precisely because this arrangement is too dangerous that it is possible to hide it from Murong Chui and complete a new layout.
Zhenbei Pass.
Zhuge Liang stood on the pass and saw that all the cavalry inside the pass had flowed out, while his eyes narrowed slightly, looking like he was smiling.
"Military advisor, can you really deceive Murong Chui like this?"
Yuwen Chengdu appeared behind Zhuge Liang and said in a deep voice: "Our army has now achieved a decisive victory. Not only did it defeat the main force of Yuan Meng in one battle, but it also killed Yuan Emperor Temujin in one fell swoop. Next, you can win by just a steady fight. Why take such a big risk?"
Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and smiled lightly, "The reason for taking such a big risk is of course for a greater victory."
Of course, the dangerous plan to transfer all cavalry was not proposed by Zhuge Liang. With his character of seeking stability in everything, he would not do so unless he had to.
The planner of this plan was Bai Qi, and his reason for convincing Zhuge Liang was also very simple.
"As long as there is a military advisor and the governor, Zhenbei Pass and Yinshan City will be as stable as Mount Tai."
Zhuge Liang was originally suspicious, but when he saw Bai Qi say this in the letter, he let go of all his doubts.
Yes, Bai Qi is right. Although Zhenbei Pass and Yinshan City do not have many troops, as long as he and Bai Qi are there, the Yuan Meng''s slave army will never be able to break through the city in a short time.
What''s more, the Han army in Yinshan County did not fight alone. Shortly after the Battle of Ningxia, Meng Tian led the 60,000 Jin troops at the border to Yinshan County to help with the war.
As long as Meng Tian fails to lead reinforcements to arrive, the Han army''s troops in Yinshan County will become 80,000 main forces and 60,000 militias, and it is still easy to fight against the 150,000 slave army.
Zhuge Liang looked at Yuwen Chengdu and asked with a smile: "General Chengdu, guess what are our Grand Governor thinking now?"
Among the many generals of the Qin army, Yuwen Chengdu dialogue Bai Qi was definitely the most awe-inspiring thing. He joined forces with Yang Lin and Sizhou to fight Bai Qi, but was beaten throughout the process and had almost no power to fight back.
"The Grand Governor is as deep as the sea, and his thoughts are beyond the reach of the last general." Yuwen Chengdu answered directly without thinking.
"Guess, can you be right if you say you can''t?"
Zhuge Liang continued to bewitch the situation, and when Yuwen Chengdu heard this, he began to think hard, but after a while, he still shook his head. "I can''t guess it at the end."
"All right."
Zhuge Liang shook the fan helplessly, then a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled, "Liang guesses that our Grand Governor must be thinking about how to force the army of 150,000 slaves to surrender."
“Hiss…”
Yuwen Chengdu immediately took a breath and exclaimed: "Forcing the army of 150,000 slaves to surrender? Is this possible?"
"How is it impossible? The troops that left behind Murong Chui''s escape have long been in a turtle. What''s more, this is not the first time our Grand Governor has done this."
Yuwen Chengdu thought about it and couldn''t help but smile.
It’s true that my grand governor seems to like to do something like pushing the enemy into a desperate situation and then I directly force the enemy to surrender.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion forced Chen Youliang to surrender at Ogu Pass and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army;
In the war in Sizhou, Yang Lin was besieged in Hongnong County, and eventually forced tens of thousands of Liang troops to surrender.
…
In short, once Bai Qi is targeted, it will be difficult to keep it alone, and Yuwen Chengdu seems to have seen the outcome of this 150,000 army!
—————
On the other hand, after Qin Hao conquered Ningxia County, he immediately blocked all the roads from Yinshan County to prevent Murong Chui from leading his cavalry from escaping. Of course, it is not easy to completely blockade with the terrain of Hetao.
When Qin Hao was about to lead the army north in person and completely wiped out Murong Chui, he received a bad news, that is, his father Qin Wen was critically ill and urgently recruited Qin Hao to return to Jinyang.
Qin Wen''s critically ill Feige''s letter was written by Qin Hao''s mother Jia Yu, so the authenticity is naturally unquestionable. Although Jia Yu''s description in the letter is obscure, the sadness and urgency between the words are extremely obvious, and the meaning is that everyone can see it.
Son, your father may not be able to do it. If you don’t come back, you may not be able to see the last side of your father.
After learning the news, Qin Hao was immediately struck by lightning. Without even thinking about it, he decided to leave the battlefield and return to Jinyang.
Before leaving, Qin Hao sent a letter to Luoyang again. He didn''t know whether Mu Guiying had set off, so he directly asked Mu Guiying to take her whole family back to Jinyang.
Because of the war, Qin Wen and Mu Feng have never seen their grandchildren yet, so no matter what, Qin Hao has to let his children meet their grandfather for the last time.
Qin Hao did not let Liu Mu go to Jinyang. After all, his father Qin Wen didn''t like it, and even hated Liu Mu. It was okay, but if Qin Wen got angry after seeing Liu Mu, he would be angry, then Qin Hao wouldn''t even have a place to cry.
Qin Hao couldn''t explain the reason directly to Liu Mu, so he only said that keeping Liu Mu in Luoyang could stabilize people''s hearts, so he did not allow Liu Mu to go back.
But as Qin Hao''s wife, if Liu Mu didn''t even attend the funeral of his father-in-law, it would make people all over the world gossip.
So, Liu Mu came back in the end, but Qin Hao didn’t know this for the time being.
After explaining his family affairs, Qin Hao explained the matters among the generals. The position of the chief general was naturally Wang Meng, and the position of deputy general was handed over to Xue Rengui.
After explaining everything, Qin Hao took Jiang Jiong and Jiulong Guard to embark on the way back to Jinyang.
