Chapter 1838 The Three Great Advisors Have Different Opinions
Everyone in the tent changed their expressions and fell to their knees. Helan Lu and Tuoba Yi fell to the ground. Everyone knew Tuoba Gui's ferocity and cruelty, and they knew that under his thunderous wrath,
There is no one in this world who dare not or cannot kill.
Tuoba Gui's eyes were blood red, he glared at Helan Lu, and said sternly: "My good uncle, don't think that those things that your Helan tribe did, I don't know. In the past, because the great cause was not accomplished, I needed to appease people's hearts. I can do it to you."
Turn a blind eye, but this time, if your little thoughts ruin our great cause of conquering the world, then I will never allow you! Now, go back and pick up your defeated soldiers and attack
Xindu, if you can’t capture Xindu within three days, hum!”
Helan Lu gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, Xindu is guarded by Murong Feng, a famous general from Yan State, and there are heavy troops stationed in the city. Previously, King Tuoba Zun of Changshan could not attack for a long time. With the current strength of our tribe, I'm afraid..."
Tuoba Gui said in a deep voice: "My orders are like arrows that are loosed from the string. Once they are issued, they cannot be changed. I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you don't have the ability, I will have my own reasons. Go ahead. This time
No one will take credit from you!"
Helan Lu secretly sighed, stood up and bowed and retreated. Tuoba Gui's eyes fell on Tuoba Yi and said solemnly: "Don't think that because you are from my clan, you can escape punishment. This failure...
You and He Lanlu are both to blame. Now, take your troops and horses back to Yecheng. I don't expect you to capture Yecheng. However, Murongde will never be allowed to leave the city to rescue Zhongshan or Xindu. If
A Xianbei man from Yecheng appears in these two places, so I think your position as the leader of the tribe should be replaced."
Tuoba Yi stood up and spread his hands: "The losses of our troops and horses this time were too heavy. The Helan tribe could only lose more than 10,000 people, while the nearly 30,000 elite soldiers under our subordinates were all lost.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to fulfill your Majesty's order, so I'd like to ask your Majesty to send more troops to help."
Tuoba Gui said coldly: "The first warrior I have here will be used to attack the various states and counties in Hebei, especially Xindu and Zhongshan. It will be difficult to siege if we divide our troops. You can think of other ways, such as
Like the Helan tribe, you can recruit the Han people in this land of Hebei to enrich your army. You can also let your tribe stay in Monan and send more slaves over. You will solve the troubles you caused yourself. If you don't
If you can't solve it, then go back to my tribe and become an ordinary soldier. I will find someone who can do this to take charge of your tribe."
How could Tuoba Yi dare to bargain any more? He quickly saluted and said, "I will definitely complete your Majesty's mission, and I will never let a Yan soldier ruin your Majesty's great cause!"
As Tuoba Yi also opened the tent and came out, the tent fell into a deathly silence. Tuoba Gui curled his lips and looked at Zhang Gun and Cui Hong, who were standing aside with their hands hanging, saying nothing, and then looked at
Looking at An Tong, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please step aside. Mr. An, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cui will stay."
When there were only a few people left in the tent, Tuoba Gui sighed: "This defeat comes at the right time. Since joining Hebei, we have won too many victories. Both soldiers and generals are very arrogant."
, thinking that destroying Yan is just a matter of effort, and only such a defeat can make them sober up. Mr. Zhang, you are right, Yan State still has strong strength, and destroying Yan cannot be achieved in a day."
Zhang Gun said calmly: "Your Majesty has always wanted to destroy Yan in one battle, but I and Cui Shilang have the same opinion, that is, Hebei is not a desirable place for a battle. This time we will send troops to Hebei to sweep all the states and counties of Yan State.
The production was completely destroyed by us, and their people, unless they fled outside these big cities, most of them surrendered to me, the Wei Dynasty. In my humble opinion, it is better to take it as soon as it is good, and bring the captured grain, grass and baggage, and plundered them
Slaves, it would be best to return to Bingzhou or Monan."
A trace of displeasure flashed across Tuoba Gui's face: "This time we have mobilized the strongest force in the history of the grassland, an army of more than 400,000, and the entire clan went south, just to rob these hundreds of thousands of people?"
Cui Hong shook his head: "No, more importantly, it destroyed the war potential of the Yan State. Although the Yan State conquered the world with Xianbei cavalry, they have been in the Central Plains for a long time and are no longer much different from the Han people. Food and manpower are the key
The basis for their founding of the country is that it is the autumn harvest season. Our troops have left the Yan State with no harvest this year. In order to feed the millions of Han people who have fled into the city, they have to consume a lot of their grain reserves. Therefore, the purpose of our troops is now over.
Reaching and withdrawing now is the best option."
Zhang Gun followed up and said: "Yes, and our army has more than 400,000 infantry and cavalry, which consumes a lot of money. When we are in the grasslands or merging states, we can still rely on the cattle and sheep of the tribes behind us to maintain military supplies. But now we are deep into Hebei
, the tribes are all on the grassland and can no longer support us. The Yan army was well prepared this time and collected all the grain stocks from various prefectures and counties into the three major capitals early. Although our army captured many places, it did not
No matter what kind of food and grass we get, consumption is increasing day by day. I'm afraid if we continue to fight, our food supply will first have problems."
Tuoba Gui looked at An Tong: "Mr. An, do you think so too?"
An Tong curled his lips and said: "Logistically speaking, what the two gentlemen said makes sense, but this time we sent troops and roped in almost all the tribes in the Monan Grassland. We promised them that we would keep them forever.
They have moved into the flowery world of the Central Plains and are not suffering from the wind and sand of the grasslands. Now our army has sent troops to Hebei and has gained almost nothing. On the contrary, it has suffered a huge defeat. If we retreat at this time, I am afraid that various ministries will have different intentions. Your Majesty has been here in these years
The prestige gained through the grassland campaign is at risk of being destroyed."
Cui Hong frowned: "But if we fight now, the chances of winning are not high. The Yan army is defending the strong city and has sufficient troops and food. They are just waiting for us to attack the city. The defeat of Yecheng was certainly due to spies, but
Our army's temporary inability to attack a large city is the fundamental reason for the failure of this battle. If we change the siege to a siege, then our army will be outnumbered and have logistical difficulties, so we may not be able to hold on at first."
An Tong said coldly: "Mr. Cui and Mr. Zhang are both from big families in Hebei. Now that the two armies are at odds, what they are fighting for is will and determination. You Han people from the big families in Hebei cannot just sit back and do nothing."
Cui Hong's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Gun quickly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Mr. An doesn't know much about the situation in Hebei. Our Han family in Hebei gave up to Murong after the last Black Fire Battle in Yecheng.
The Wei family has been suppressed in many ways and deprived of most of their privileges. It is precisely because of this that we have traveled thousands of miles to defect to you. Now it is not that we do not want to help Wei, but that we do not have the ability. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty."
