Chapter 1702 From prosperity to decline
"General."
When Xiao Shenghe's order came to light, someone immediately said: "There are also many people from the Guza tribe on the prince's side, and we have failed this time. Do we need to go there in person to make sure it is safe?"
Xiao Shenghe refused without thinking.
"We must not leave Crescent Pass."
Seeing the different expressions of the generals under his command, Xiao Shenghe said: "Do you think that this general is afraid of the prince's punishment, so he is hiding here and dare not go?"
No one spoke.
But sometimes, silence itself is an attitude.
"Although we let the Qin army escape this time, we found out the rebellion of the Guza tribe, which was enough to overcome the problem."
Xiao Shenghe said helplessly: "So this general is not worried about the prince's reproach, but... just in case."
Just in case, why didn't Xiao Sheng say anything?
A smarter person would naturally think that all of their expressions had changed.
What Xiao Shenghe didn't say in his heart was that the rebellion of the Guza tribe was actually a landmark event that turned the Liao army from prosperity to decline. At present, the Liao army's difficulties and shortcomings have been exposed.
Blizzards continued, and the environment was not suitable for combat by an army like the Liao Army, which mainly relied on cavalry.
Insufficient logistics and the destruction of the materials and grain that they relied on for survival have made the Liao army's logistics a stubborn problem that cannot be solved. This is why Yelu Shenxuan said that there is no way out. The only way out for the Liao army now is to completely conquer the entire Liao army.
Gansu and Shaanxi, and then rely on the supplies from Gansu and Shaanxi to survive. Otherwise, if it is delayed, the Liao army itself will starve to death in the heavy snow in just a few days.
The hearts of the people are scattered. It has been more than half a year since the 600,000 Liao army stationed troops outside Yueya Pass. For more than half of the year, the Liao army has been fighting with high intensity for most of the time. The Liao army is also a human being, not made of iron.
will be exhausted, not to mention that the duration of this battle has already exceeded any previous battles. The characteristics of the Liao army's cavalry determine that they cannot fight a protracted battle. They must fight quickly and maneuver at high speed, so the Liao army has always been here to win.
Rufeng, but now, he has been trapped here for more than half a year, people's minds will change.
The Liao army was not in the right place at the right time and the right people. Xiao Shenghe had already had a premonition that it was very likely that Gansu and Shaanxi would be defeated this time.
If this is true, this will be a major stain on Yelu Shenxuan's political career, and it will also be the beginning of a collapse of his rule in the Liao Kingdom.
So he could only defend the Crescent Gate. If the worst happened, at least if he could defend the Crescent Gate, Yelu Shenxuan would still have great achievements.
Xiao Shenghe's thoughtful thinking was ahead of most people. No one thought as profoundly as he did.
And it is precisely because he thinks too much that Xiao Shenghe is more pessimistic than others.
At the moment, the Qin army seems to be in a panic, being chased like a lost dog by the Liao army. However, the shortcomings of the Liao army are exposed, and as they become increasingly serious, the Qin army will bottom out sooner or later. After all, Gansu and Shaanxi are still the Gansu and Shaanxi of Great Qin, and the Qin army has the entire
With the support of the Great Qin Empire, we can immediately feel relieved.
In this way, he was really not optimistic about the follow-up of the war.
"Listen to this general."
Xiao Shenghe gritted his teeth and said: "General, I will bear all responsibilities myself."
Xiao Shenghe had reached this point, and no one else had any objections, so he took the order and went down to continue his work.
