At nightfall, Chu Xizhao took off his boots and sat down, holding a letter from Hebei Province, and said to Feng Yihan with a serious face: "Yi Han, something big happened again in Hebei Province!"
"oh?"
Feng Yisai was surprised and asked: "General, but the Wang family's child is making trouble again?"
Feng Yihan could only think of these few people who could cause trouble in Hebei Province.
Chu Xizhao sighed and said: "Helan Chang'an surrendered to Han Xin, Han Xin's soldiers captured Zuozhen without bloodshed, and then captured Tai'an with lightning speed. The situation in Hebei Province is out of control!"
"The emperor never returned, so that old boy made a miscalculation!"
Huangfu Wugui thought that Han Xin could not capture Zuozhen within a short period of time, which would give him enough time to retake Yecheng. However, Huangfu Wugui did not expect that Han Xin would attack Zuozhen without bloodshed, and Huangfu Wugui would be blind!
One wrong step! One wrong step!
"What!" Feng Yihan looked worried. If Wang Yu were to win the Hebei Province, he might not have a good life in the future.
Chu Xizhao smiled bitterly and said, "Yi Han! But now we don't have the extra troops to send troops to Hebei Province! What do you want me to do?"
"General, what did the court say?" Feng Yihan said with a helpless smile.
"The imperial court has strict orders, and there is no room for error on Hebei Road!" Chu Xizhao became increasingly helpless!
A battle between hundreds of thousands of people can affect the whole body!
Now, the battlefield on his side has shown a stalemate, and it is impossible to mobilize excess power to withdraw. The war has leaked into the world from many directions, and even many places can only be passively defended.
But there is still a shortage of troops. Every place lacks troops. Wherever there is strength, we can send it to Hebei Province.
"General, a single move can affect the whole body. If you mobilize your troops, if something goes wrong here, the consequences will be disastrous..." Feng Yihan said in shock.
"Besides, the imperial court..." Feng Yihan hesitated a little, not knowing whether to continue.
"Yi Han! Between you and me! What else can't be said clearly?"
Chu Xizhao was having a headache at this time, and after all, he still didn't see the complexity in Feng Yihan's eyes.
"The imperial court... I'm afraid the imperial court knows that the general will not easily mobilize his troops..." Feng Yihan said hesitantly.
"What did Yi Han say?" Chu Xizhao seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't seem to have thought of anything.
Chu Xizhao is an extremely smart person, but all his intelligence is used in military affairs. In terms of commanding troops in combat, who in the world dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he can defeat Chu Xizhao 100%?
Like most famous generals, these people have all their attribute points filled up when it comes to commanding troops in combat, but in other aspects, their responses are quite slow.
"The imperial court probably knows that the general will not easily mobilize troops. However, once Hebei Road is lost, someone must take responsibility for the possible threats to the imperial capital in the future!" Feng Yihan said at a loss.
, after saying this, even he himself felt a little ridiculous.
Making such malicious speculations about the imperial court was really not what he should do as a general. However, Feng Yihan had to think this way at this moment.
He did not believe that all the ministers did not know that Chu Xizhao could not mobilize any extra troops here. Otherwise, if too many troops and horses were mobilized and an accident occurred in the battle situation here, then the blow to the imperial court would be
is the largest.
As there are dangers of two rivers between Henan Road, it naturally has a huge advantage in defense.
Furthermore, even if the Wang family's son captured Hebei Road, it would be impossible to further attack Henan Road without a certain amount of time to recuperate.
The failure of Hebei Province is indeed a huge threat to Henan Province. After all, there is no way for others to sleep soundly on the bed.
However, this threat is not a huge threat at least for now!
Which one is more serious? Feng Yihan doesn't believe that no one in the hall can think clearly!
He thought clearly, but Chu Xizhao still got such an order here. Feng Yihan boldly guessed that the court probably knew that Chu Xizhao would not make such an unwise move.
In the future, if some problems really arise due to the incident in Hebei Province, then some people in the court can blame Chu Xizhao for the problem.
"These damn bastards!" Feng Yihan cursed unwillingly in his heart, but he was very helpless about this matter.
Military generals are fighting on the front lines, but civilian officials are holding back. This is not a strange thing at any time, it is just a more or less common thing!
Since they represent different interests, of course there will be fights. After all, no one is a saint, especially when it comes to their own interests.
When a military general has performed meritorious service, he is said to be arrogant and domineering and disrespectful to his soldiers, such as Huo Qubing. Or he has robbed property, such as Chen Tang who must be killed even though he is far away, or Qin Hui who killed Yue Fei.
"Yi Han! Shut up, An Ke is slandering the imperial court like this!" Chu Xizhao said with a serious look on his face.
Seeing this, Feng Yihan could only sigh helplessly. He was born in a poor family, and all his honor and disgrace were tied to the Great Cang Court!
"General, how should we deal with this Hebei Province?" Feng Yihan sighed helplessly.
There were some problems that he could not mention for the time being, but there were some problems that they had to face. Hebei Province always had to discuss a solution.
"Three cities were lost one after another, and most of the troops in Hebei Province were lost. Without reinforcements, Hebei Province will be difficult to defend!"
"It's hard to defend! Then don't defend!"
"Abandon most of Hebei Province and only defend Ningping and Ningyang counties!" Chu Xizhao said solemnly.
Hebei Province has lost most of its military strength, and Yecheng, which is the administrative center of Hebei Province, may not be able to get it back!
If Huangfu Wugui insists on continuing the war with the opponent, sooner or later the last bit of his strength will not be saved.
It's not that Chu Xizhao underestimated Huangfu Wugui's ability, but if he had this ability, he wouldn't have been beaten by Han Xin from a weak position to what he is now.
A great situation was suddenly turned into a bad game by Huangfu Wugui.
Now, we can only abandon most of Hebei Province and use Ningping and Ningyang counties as the last barriers to protect Henan Province and as the last strategic buffer of Henan Province.
With the remaining strength in Huangfu Wugui's hands, there may be some problems in protecting the entire Hebei Province. With limited military strength, the more places to be guarded, the more empty the military strength will be.
But if the territory that Huangfu Wugui wants to protect is reduced to two counties, then the difficulty will be reduced a lot!
