438 War Begins (4)
Hurzatai made this decision and there was no way. It can be said that Luo Rongxuan was forced to this place.
Everyone looked very good when they heard this. Many of them had died now. For their sake, they wanted to go back quickly and didn't want to stay here anymore.
Hurzatai analyzed it for a long time to tell them, but these people didn't listen much, but Hurzatai was the head coach. No matter what he did, they could only let it go.
At the same time, Gu Zhehan, who was far away in the original territory of the barbarian Gorji, looked at the border and secretly prayed for everything to go smoothly at the border.
Ran Shouxin stood under a steep slope, looking at Gu Zhehan's back as if thinking.
As Emperor Wen of Wei, he knew a lot about Gu Zhehan's ability, courage and knowledge. Not to mention being the best among the younger generation, he was considered a leader among the older generation. He admired Gu Zhehan very much.
But no matter how much he admired him, he didn't expect him to be so powerful. After all, he was old here, and no matter how many mistakes he made, he was far less knowledgeable than the old foxes in the court. But he didn't expect Gu Zhehan would give him such a big surprise. No wonder the emperor valued him so much, and even had the idea of entrusting the power of the Great Wei army to him.
Thinking of yesterday's battle, Ran Shouxin couldn't help but be excited.
Just a few days ago, Gu Zhehan said that the Gorkins Association launched an attack on the Gorkins territory and border Yicheng on the New Year of the Great Wei Dynasty. He didn't believe it at first and thought it was impossible to be so accurate. Unexpectedly, news of Gorkins' army's abnormal movements came from the front line the day before yesterday.
For this battle, Gu Zhehan did not sleep all night and made complete preparations. The result was self-evident. They won, and they won cleanly and beautifully.
"Sir Ran, do you think Yicheng will be fine?"
Gu Zhehan's questioning made Ran Shouxin suddenly wake up. He looked at Gu Zhehan's back and nodded, "Of course, the prince has made great progress in recent years, and the Duke of Wei is on the border, so Yicheng will definitely not lose."
Gu Zhehan breathed a sigh of relief, "I think so too. If he can't do it, Yan'er's efforts will be wasted."
Gu Zhehan's question seemed to be just to get Ran Shouxin's approval. Now that he heard the answer he wanted to hear, he felt much more relaxed in an instant.
When the two returned to the camp, they saw Goermang walking towards them, and saw Goermang laughing sincerely.
"Thank you two generals, are you going out to watch the sunset? Why are you back so soon?"
Gu Zhehan replied with a smile: "Yes, the sunset is extremely beautiful, but it's near dusk. No matter how good the scenery is, it's not suitable for viewing now, so I came back. The eldest young master performed well yesterday. In the past, the military power in the original territory of Gorji will definitely be controlled by you."
Goermang shook his head, "It's not OK. It's too far from General Gu. I have a lot to learn."
"No hurry, the eldest young master is still young, and time is enough."
"I hope so, I just want my mother and sister to live a stable life soon."
Gu Zhehan smiled even more sincerely, "The eldest young master is a filial son. God will definitely satisfy the eldest young master's little wish."
The two of them said something back and forth, and then left behind.
When Gu Zhehan could no longer see Goermang's face, Goermang's mouth slightly raised, showing a sarcastic look. The veins of his clenched fists under his sleeves were exposed, which was very ferocious and terrifying.
Gu Zhehan, who turned his back to Goermang, was the same, but he was not as angry as Goermang, and his sarcasm was much stronger than Goermang.
Ran Shouxin frowned and looked back at Goermang's back, "He has changed."
Before he moved his father down, he jumped around in front of them like a lively boy every day. Now power and desire have made him arrogant, and his scheming has become deeper.
Gu Zhehan shook his head, "He has not changed, he has always been like this, but he has suppressed his nature tightly. No one knows what he is like, but the king is the king. If he suppresses his nature, he will be exposed one day sooner or later. What you see now is the real him."
The royal family of the barbarians has always been the Gore family. For thousands of years, nomadic people in the barbarian territory have been ruled by the Gore family. Even if the people below are dissatisfied and want to resist themselves as the king of clans, there is no case of success. Because the Gore family has a strong foundation and a deep foundation, and because other families will not allow them, such rebels, to sit in that position, so these people can only recommend a cowardly Gore family as the king of clans. They control it from behind, but they have never dared to sit in that position in person.
When the two returned to the tent, Ran Shouxin couldn't help asking: "Will he betray us? Will he do the things that kill the donkey?"
Gu Zhehan glanced at Ran Shouxin, "He will, be prepared. When we are defeated, Gorkin will leave here, the royal city..., let him go by himself."
Gu Zhehan threw the handkerchief into the basin, and the splashed water wet the ground. The red carpet became dark in an instant, just like Gu Zhehan and Ran Shouxin were not calm at this moment.
In the morning of the next day, Gu Zhehan commanded the barbarian army in the territory of Gorjiyuan to launch an attack on Gorji's army. The battle was very difficult. Not only did Gorji's army suffer heavy losses, but even Gorjiyuan's army also killed many barbarian soldiers. This made Gormang dissatisfied, but he said nothing, did nothing, and focused on being his puppet.
On the other side, Hurzatai felt restrained after losing ten powerful generals. No matter what he said, there were always oppositions from the people below.
How could Hurzatai be so angry? He immediately dealt with a group of people arbitrarily, and then attacked Yicheng again despite the opposition of everyone, preparing to capture several young generals of the Great Wei to return to exchange for his people.
Luo Rongxuan was prepared, but the result was conceivable. Hurzatai was defeated again. In the following period, Hurzatai became much more honest, but he was trying to find a way to rescue the five powerful generals.
Hurzatai's will torture was strongly opposed by everyone. Gradually, the dissatisfaction in Hurzatai's army gradually grew higher, and there were rumors that Hurzatai insisted on saving the five generals regardless of the lives and death of the soldiers below.
Rumors became more and more popular, and Hurzatai had no choice but to deal with another group of people. Due to Hurzatai's power, the restless people in the barbarian army finally calmed down and stopped making trouble.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is March, and the weather is getting warmer. Spring plowing has begun in the territory of the Great Wei, but the barbarian territory is filled with sorrow.
The long war has left the barbarians with stuttering life and livestock can still have stuttering, but the barbarians have no dry food and can only migrate to areas with high mountains and go up the mountain to dig grass roots to eat.
But now it was just beginning, where did the grassroots come from for them to dig? These people started hunting again. No matter how many prey there was, there were many people. Not long after, there was no way to catch a pheasant on the mountain.
The barbarians were suffering more and more, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people. Gorkin was suitable for pressure and put pressure on Hurzatai, so that he must seize the three passes of Yicheng as soon as possible and go to the territory of the Great Wei to plunder food.
Hurzatai was under great pressure and knew that things were not violated, so he could only increase the attack, hoping to capture Yicheng in the shortest time.
Luo Rongxuan guarded Yicheng and waited for Hurzatai to come to the door. After several sieges, Luo Rongxuan also felt Hurzatai's determination to seize Yicheng.
Luo Rongxuan did not dare to neglect and stepped up the transfer of food and weapons from the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, and mobilized another 20,000 elite troops from Xinzhou and Yunzhou to jointly defend Yicheng.
Hurzatai had been unable to capture Yicheng for a long time, and Gorkin was annoyed by the people, and he couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with Hurzatai. After a court meeting, Gorkin followed his confidant's advice and replaced him again to take over Hurzatai's army at the border. At this time, there were only more than 100,000 barbarian troops left, which had to be seriously injured.
Hurzatai received a secret letter from the royal city, and after reading it, he almost vomited blood without anger.
I thought that he was dedicated to supporting Gorkin to the throne, and even the original Prince of Gorgi who should have been in power gave up. How much did he do to help him stabilize the throne? In the end, even the people under his command died almost, but he didn't expect to get this result.
Since you don't let me live a good life, then don't think about it. Anyway, the barbarians are not his own. After being a general for so many years and guarding the barbarian territory, what did he get? In addition to his pain, he got the reputation of a general. Not to mention the golden house and silver house, even the people in the family have not lived a good life for a few days. So far, they are still as fed and clothed as ordinary people. What is he trying to do?
Hurzatai was anxious and unwilling to accept it no matter how he thought about it. In the end, he launched a full-scale attack on Yicheng the next day.
Hurzatai figured it out. Instead of letting others enjoy the military power and grasping the military power in his hands, it would be better to give it to Luo Rongxuan and sell it to him so that he can leave the border and return to the Hur tribe to enjoy the blessings.
That's right, Hurzatai figured it out overnight. He wanted to return to the Hur tribe, he wanted to retire, and he would no longer be a general. He wanted to work hard for his tribe members to live a good life, and the rest had nothing to do with him.
As for what Gorkin will do, it has nothing to do with him. Even if Gorkin does not agree to send someone to kill him, he will not regret it. If you have the ability, let him come. His Huer tribe is not easy to mess with.
Although Luo Rongxuan didn't understand why Hurzatai was crazy, he did not dare to underestimate Hurzatai and mobilized the army to defend Yicheng with all his strength.
The war lasted for three days and three nights. On the morning of the fourth day, the people who took over the military power of Hurzatai arrived. When they saw the empty military camp, they were stunned.
What's going on? Isn't it said that there is a 100,000 army? What about people? Why are there not a single person?
People have, but they are still on the front line.
When he heard the news, the person who came was relieved and rode his horse to Yicheng. When he arrived at Yicheng and saw the scene on the battlefield, he was furious and couldn't help but faint.
After the consumption of the 100,000 army has almost died in the past three days. Now only 10,000 people are still standing next to Hurzatai. The remaining people are all lying on the ground. The people who are immortal don’t see clearly. Anyway, there are many corpses hanging on the walls of Yicheng, all of which are from the barbarians.
Hurzatai looked at the more than 10,000 guards following him and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
These people have been with him for many years to fight on the battlefield. Each of them is his confidant and his most loyal subordinate. With them, Gorkin has to consider it even if he wants to deal with him.
Hurzatai let go of his hatred, and then he asked the Jin to withdraw his troops. Before leaving, he looked up at Luo Rongxuan on the city wall, smiled at him, and then turned around and left.
Luo Rongxuan looked at Hurzatai's back with a confused look on his face, always feeling something was wrong.
"The prince, it seems that something is wrong!"
The battle robe on Duke Wei Guoming was covered in blood, but it did not hinder his elegant temperament. He looked at Hurzatai who was leaving with a steel knife and couldn't help but frown secretly.
Luo Rongxuan frowned even deeper, "I'm wondering too! It is said that all 100,000 troops should be launched to attack very fiercely! But why are they so weak?
Is it showing weakness to us in order to follow up? Or does it have other purposes?"
Duke Wei thought for a while, "Criminal, Hurzatai's attack was not the entire army. He divided the 100,000 troops into twenty attacks, with only about five thousand people each time, which was simply to let them die!"
Luo Rongxuan narrowed his eyes and thought, "That's right, he's here to die, but why did he do this? Could it be that the barbarians changed?"
When Duke Wei heard this, he nodded, "It is very likely that Yicheng cannot be captured for a long time, and Hurzatai is very likely to make Gorkin feel dissatisfied and want to transfer him back to change someone to take over the military power here.
But Hurzatai did not want to delegate power, and he had to ignore Gorkin. Besides, he gave Gorkin to the throne. Hurzatai would definitely be disappointed with Gorkin's robbery of military power, so he did this and gave us a hundred thousand troops and let us let him go."
It has to be said that Duke Wei is worthy of being one of the pillars of the Great Wei. Through what happened in the barbarians and Hurzatai's application of military tactics, he quickly analyzed what happened in the barbarians and what Hurzatai was thinking about, and why did he do this.
Luo Rongxuan understood in an instant as if he was enlightened.
Luo Rongxuan's eyes lit up, "That's right, it must be the reason. I'll just say that something was wrong with his eyes before he left. It turned out that he meant this."
Luo Rongxuan walked happily on the city wall. After walking for four or five times, Luo Rongxuan's eyes emitted a brighter color, "Huerzhatai is now defeated, and 100,000 people are killed or injured. Does that mean we have won?"
Duke Wei nodded with a smile, "That's right, if we expected it would be a winner."
After the Duke of Wei finished speaking, Dong Tianbao and others who had been waiting beside him and listened to him and Luo Rongxuan were cheering together.
"Oh ~! We won, we won~"
Hearing their cheers, the soldiers of the Great Wei standing up and down the city wall also began to cheer with them. For a moment, cheers in Yicheng kept coming, and everyone showed a victory smile. They danced, cried and laughed, and everyone expressed the joy of victory from the bottom of their hearts.
Luo Rongxuan did not enter. He looked blankly outside Yicheng, looked at the corpse that Hurzatai had thrown down on the ground, and sighed in his heart.
Chapter completed!
