Chapter 327: The Power Four

Six days after the Tianhan Mountain breaks through the battle, Huo Bing's troops arrived at the foot of Tianhan Mountain. At this time, the bodies at the foot of the mountain were left untie, and the soldiers of the Turkic Heshun Dynasty army were scattered, making people know at a glance that a bloody battle had occurred here.

The figure of the head coach Liu Yu was not found, but some of Liu Yu's close-fitting guards were found from these corpses.

Huo Bing was crazy and led his three thousand cavalry to chase him in the direction of the war. Apart from the scattered soldiers of the Turks and the corpses all over the ground, Huo Bing finally found a soldier in Liu Yu's army who had broken his legs and hid in the grass and escaped. According to the soldiers, the commander led a small number of troops to escape from the breakout, and his life and death were uncertain.

Li Mi and Sui Yi's troops arrived at Tianhan Mountain even later. They seemed like headless flies on the grassland. After most of the month, they had to withdraw their troops. They heard about the war at the foot of Tianhan Mountain and hurriedly led their troops over. They didn't even see the shadow of Huo Bing's troops.

At the same time, the central army led by Min Shaoqing had been stationed in Jinyao City for several days and was still issuing orders to two armies that were expeditioning, allowing them to retreat and gather quickly. They won this battle and were rewarded for their merits.

"The head coach is lost, what else can I ask for?" Huo Bing received the order and did not return to the army as soon as possible. He still wanted to continue looking for Liu Yu's trace on the grassland.

But if you continue, the entire army will lose its direction. His troops are not more troops than Liu Yu's central army.

Although he won the battle happily, Huo Bing was the most depressed time. Because of his greed for merit, he was not sure about the central army being attacked by Turkic soldiers. Now Liu Yu is missing, as if he has lost his direction. Huo Bing is not a smart general. In the past, Liu Yu pointed to wherever he was pointed, wherever he fought. He was used to this way of relying on other people's guidance to accomplish his merits.

For Huo Bing, the guiding lights are gone, so what is the point of winning this battle?

Hua Ji'an has always been with Huo Bing's headquarters as deputy general. At this time, he keenly felt that the disappearance of coach Liu Yu seemed to have been planned. Or maybe Liu Yu was plotted by someone. Because Min Shaoqing did not seem to care about the safety of coach, he had agreed to join the hinterland of the grassland before, and the border army had not arrived for a long time. Now it seems that the border army has never traveled north from Jin Yaocheng at all, and they have been doing the things to clean up the mess.

"General Huo. Don't be discouraged!" Hua Ji'an said, "The most important thing now is to contact General Li and General Sui first, and the two armies will work together. Whether we continue to look for the vanguard general or go home, we will not be divided."

Huo Bing looked up at Hua Ji'an with a depressed look and asked, "What... means?"

Hua Ji'an said: "General Huo. Have you ever thought that if something happened to the vanguard general now, who would take over the military power?"

Huo Bing stood up from the chair, scratched his head, and solved the problem like a child, scratched his ears and foreheads. Finally, he looked at Hua Ji'an and said, "He seemed to let Brother Hua take over before."

Before he started a war with the Turks, Liu Yu did make a similar explanation. If he had something to do, let Hua Ji'an take over military power and issue orders. But Hua Ji'an knew that with his position in the army, taking over military power was like a fool. No one would be willing to listen to a surrendered general.

"No matter what happens for now. If you think about it now, Min Shaoqing and others must want us to return to Jin Yaocheng and take the opportunity to remove our military power. Then he can sit back to the position of the head coach with justification. In this way, the foundation of the grassland overlord laid by the vanguard general for us will definitely be ruined!"

Huo Bing hesitated and said, "I can understand what you said that Min Shaoqing wants to seize power. What does the latter mean?"

Hua Ji'an continued to explain: "If Min Shaoqing took over military power, he would not first think about how to break through the Turkic royal court and expand the results of the war. Instead, he would choose to withdraw his troops. He would not care about the life and death of the vanguard general, and even more so on the remaining Turkic soldiers on the grassland. Min Shaoqing wanted to seize control of the three counties. In a few years, the Turkic people would definitely make a comeback. At that time, the court would not have the backbone like the vanguard general, so the outcome would be unpredictable!"

Huo Bing nodded and said firmly: "You can't withdraw!"

"But we have to withdraw now! If we don't withdraw, Min Shaoqing will say that we don't obey the orders and will put pressure on us, and the court will issue an order to punish us. What we are doing now is to make Min Shaoqing not suspicious, quickly return to the army, and control the military power of the entire army!"

Huo Bing looked embarrassed and he would definitely not frown when he asked him to attack the city and siege the land. But now he was asking him to go back and use conspiracy to seize military power. He didn't even find Liu Yu, let alone think about those things.

Fortunately, Hua Ji'an is not only a general, but also much more sober than Huo Bing and even Li Mi and Sui Yi in terms of political acumen. Although Li Mi and Sui Yi struggled in the court, they still had little experience. This time they went to the battle with Liu Yu, they just wanted to gain experience in leading troops and gain military merits. Hua Ji'an is also experienced in fighting for power and profit in the army.

Hua Ji'an and Huo Bing held a sergeant meeting and ordered: "Return to Beihan Mountain and join the army temporarily!"

After all, Hua Ji'an and Huo Bing had few soldiers, while Li Mi and Sui Yi led more than 20,000 troops. With these troops as support, Hua Ji'an believed that there was a foundation to compete with Min Shaoqing and other border generals.

Thousands of soldiers came and were very ambitious, but when they returned, they became decadent due to the disappearance of the commander. They went all the way to the southeast and northwest. Li Mi and Sui Yi's troops and Huo Binghua Ji'an troops soon gathered 300 miles northwest of Beihan Mountain. When Li Mi and Sui Yi knew that Liu Yu's whereabouts were unknown, they had to conceal the news on the one hand, and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Since Li Mi and Sui Yi came to the grassland, they felt a little confused. Even though they had specially learned some strategic military tactics in military books, they found that they were fundamentally used to learn martial arts when they arrived at the grassland. If Liu Yu had not been in command and asked them to command this war, they would have lost a lot.

Finally, even the arrogant and arrogant people had to turn to Hua Ji'an for help.

In the central army's tent, the four people had already formed a four-person group to seize power. In addition to Hua Ji'an, the other three groups can be said to be Liu Yu's life and death friendship. In order not to leak the secrets, the few people chose the second midnight when discussing in the tent. It was also the late night.

"With the status of the four of us in the army, only General Huo can stand it, but unfortunately the people from the border army will not listen to him." Hua Ji'an said at the beginning.

This sentence made Li Mi and Sui Yi feel that Hua Ji'an's grasp of the situation was very accurate. Although Liu Yu had instructed Hua Ji'an to take over military power, Hua Ji'an also knew that among the four of them, the only one who had the opportunity to take over military power was Huo Bing, who was very famous in the army.

"What should I do?" Li Mi took the opportunity to ask.

Hua Ji'an did not like Liu Yu to go around in circles and said bluntly: "We now want to contact General Liu's other subordinates, such as General Yunjin Qi Fang, who is far away in the pass. Because General Qi's journey is very far, we have to look for people familiar with the vanguard Jianjun as their inner supporters under Min Shaoqing's command!"

Sui Yi said disdainfully: "With that man surnamed Min, he is a group of cowards and fled before the war begins. Who would have a friendship with Brother Wen Yan?"

Li Mi said cautiously: "There is indeed one person in the border army!"

All four of them thought of one person at the same time, which was Liu Yu's old boss, He Mao, the former president of the Imperial Guard.

He Mao was a very prestigious person in the border army, but he always belonged to the deputy. During the early emperor, he followed Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, and became the deputy. Later, He Mao took over the military power of the border army for a period of time, but due to the arrival of Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng, his status was lowered again and again. However, because He Mao himself had no ambition and was an inconvenient person, in the army, others mostly respected him and did not make him his enemy.

But He Mao was the only person who could control the attitude of the border generals and had a friendship with Liu Yu.

Sui Yi's face was a little bit happy, but he immediately thought that no matter what He Mao's current status was, when the emperor was alive, Huo Bing was still a beggar in the countryside, Li Mi and Sui Yi were just inconspicuous figures in Chang'an City, and Hua Ji'an was even more planning under the King of Huai. The three of them had nothing to do with He Mao and had no friendship at all. It was quite difficult to contact this person.

"It may be better if I go this trip!" Huaji Andao.

"You go?" Sui Yi said, "What if Min Shaoqing takes you down?"

Hua Ji'an smiled and said, "With my insignificant position in the army, no one would have thought that the vanguard general would trust me. This time I led a small group of troops back to Jinyao City first. Min Shaoqing would only think that I was not in line with you and withdrew his troops without authorization. How could he think that I was going back to contact General He?"

The other three people thought about it. If Liu Yu had not explained it in advance and was now impressed by Hua Ji'an's insights, they would have looked down on the surrender of the Huai Army on weekdays. Now the four of them can be said to be advancing and retreating together. With Hua Ji'an, a very smart person, going deep into the enemy camp, he could indeed achieve good results.

"I'll set out first, you will withdraw your troops slowly and will not be within 500 miles of Jinyao City recently." Huaji'an Road, "If Min Shaoqing asks, there may be some remaining troops that need to be cleaned up, just wait for my news before returning to the army!"

After discussing the plan, Hua Ji'an set out overnight and led more than 500 soldiers who were originally border troops to return to Jinyao City first. On the other hand, in order to strengthen the control of the border troops after the situation was completed, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, the two most trusted military generals around Liu Yu. Without them, it would be difficult to control the overall situation with Huo Bing, who had no political mind and Sui Yi and Li Mi who were unfamiliar with the place.

Hua Ji'an led his army back to Jinyao City. When Min Shaoqing learned that it was Hua Ji'an, he went out to greet him in person, in order to win over Hua Ji'an, so that he felt that he was very kind to him. Hua Ji'an also showed fear and fear, and then held a special banquet to welcome Hua Ji'an. Almost all the border generals attended the banquet, but Hua Ji'an could not see He Mao's existence at the table, and some veterans were not listed. Hua Ji'an thought that Min Shaoqing must have been cautious, fearing that the veterans who are prestigious in the border army would ruin his affairs and isolate him.

On the one hand, Hua Ji'an was ruling the scepter on the table, but was also secretly planning how to achieve the best results by contacting these people. (To be continued. Please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
