Chapter 1731 Decisive Battle at Shangdang Eighteen
"The first news is that Wei Jun may have abandoned Yuzhou, or even Xudu!" Tan Zong said in a low voice.

"Is it real?"

Mu Jing's pupils flashed a touch of coldness.

He has always been unable to figure out some things. Hearing the news about Tan Zong, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he figured out many things instead.

"It should be true!"

Tan Zongdao: "If there is no verification of the news from the Fu family, they dare not pass it back!"

Tan Zong arranged a lot of secrets in Xudu.

But it is not as good as the foundation of the Fu family. Although Fu Wan died, Fu Shou also escaped with death. It seems that he has nothing to do with the entire Han court, but in fact the Fu family has countless disciples, and they are above the Han court. , still has a lot of influence.

"I have already ordered Yue Shu to investigate the news thoroughly. If the news is correct, what we are facing is not just the [-] elite Wei army, but maybe the Wei army with hundreds of thousands of troops!"

Tan Zong gritted his teeth and said: "Fortunately, we still have some leeway when we get the news, so my suggestion, Your Majesty, don't take any risks, we can still retreat from Hedong to Guanzhong!"

"withdraw?"

Mu Jing sneered: "Tan Zong, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Chen, of course I know!"

Tan Zong raised his head, his eyes met Shang Mujing's, and he didn't push back at all.

"Then do you know how much casualties we will have to pay once our army withdraws!" Mu Jing gritted his teeth and said, "It has reached this point. Once our army shows any sign of withdrawing, we will be hunted down and beaten fiercely. In the end, Erlang who was able to escape back to Guanzhong, one out of ten, do you know that?"

"Chen, I know!"

Tan Zong cupped his hands, and said in a calm voice: "But for your majesty's safety, it is worthwhile for all of us to die here. As long as your majesty is still there, Daming still has hope, but if your majesty encounters any problems, My Ming Dynasty has no hope!"

When Mu Jing heard the words, he pointed at Tan Zong, but he was speechless.

Did Tan Zong make a mistake?
He was right.

The background of the Ming Dynasty is too shallow, and there is another fatal shortcoming, that is, there is no heir to Mu Jing, and there is no heir to rule the Ming Dynasty in a legitimate way.

Once Mu Jing died in battle here, the Ming court would at most linger in the southwest, not to mention fighting out of the southwest, even if they were on the verge of surviving and becoming a vassal, there was little hope.

"Your Majesty, if the Wei army just divides up and marches northward, with 20 to [-] troops, there is still hope for a fight, but if the Wei army goes up in an all-out force and hundreds of thousands of elite main forces rush over, do we still have hope?"

Tan Zong asked Mujing coldly.

In today's world, there are not many people who can question Mujing. As the brother who walked down Mushroom Mountain with Mujing, Tan Zong still has some friendship in it.

Even if he made a mistake, Mu Jing wouldn't do anything to him, so he dared to speak out, and since he was Mu Jing, he could have admonished him to death.

Mu Jing clenched his fists tightly, Tan Zong's question, he was actually asking himself, this battle may have exceeded his imagination.

Even if he solved Yan Jun, Wei Jun would join him later. Is there any hope for this battle to continue?
Wei Junruo is only a part of the force.

Even if there are as many as 15 or 20, there is still a glimmer of hope, but if the Wei army goes all out, it will be the main force of hundreds of thousands.

The imperial court of Xudu coordinated Yuzhou, Yanzhou, southern Jizhou, and Xuzhou.

Plus the confiscation of the Battle of Guandu.

Even if Cao Cao was seriously injured in the Wancheng battle before, he should have recovered a lot of combat power. He can gather 30 main forces.

If the fighting power of young and strong civilians is included in the calculation, if he is more ruthless and more aggressive, he may be able to spend 50 to [-] yuan.

Such a pounce, even if the Ming army has monstrous abilities, can it stop it?

He doesn't have much confidence.

"The situation is more dangerous than I imagined, but..." Mu Jing took a deep breath, and his voice was calm and cold: "I won't leave!"

"Your Majesty, the courage of a common man is not advisable!"

Tan Zong gritted his teeth and said.

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "It's not because I'm brave enough to stay, but because I still have hope. Although it's difficult to fight, it's not because I'm desperate!"

He looked at the sky, the sky was vast, and under the faint night sky, the stars and the moon seemed to have lost their luster, but he didn't care, he said with a smile: "If Cao Mengde dares to come, let's fight decisively. This battle will determine the outcome of life and death. It is also a good thing." , if I win, look at the world, no one can stand in the way of Ming Dynasty, if I lose, I will try my best to face the world!"

After more than ten years of fighting, he will also be tired. He wants to end this troubled world. Since he has the opportunity, he will fight even if he will take risks in the end.

And he may not lose.

After all, he has a weapon that is more than 1000 years ahead of the times. Cao Cao thought he could use people to kill him, but he might not be able to kill a transparent one.

"His Majesty!"

"Don't talk too much!"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said, "Tan Zong, unless I am defeated, I will not leave. I have been a coward once, but this time, I will not. Not only do I believe in myself, I also believe in the generals of Ming Dynasty them!"

He has basically thought everything through in his heart.

Since Cao Cao is going to do his best.

Then he has to work hard.

It depends on whose fate is tougher.

Tan Zong took a deep breath, he knew Mujing so well, he could persuade him as much as he could, but since Mujing had already made his decision, he would not change it.

Then he had to make second-hand preparations.

Once defeated, he will tie Mujing back at all costs, even if it is tied, and will never give Mujing any chance to be hurt.

He began to secretly plan the route and arrange the station in his heart.

"The second message, what is it?"

Mu Jing asked softly.

"The second news is also very dangerous!" Tan Zongdao: "Besides, we don't know whether it's true or not. I don't know what the intention of the news they released!"

"Tell me first!"

"The spies from the north heard that the Xianbei cavalry has gone south, and they have already crossed the Yanmen Pass. They are in the territory of Taiyuan County. They may enter the battlefield at any time, and the purpose is unknown!"

Tan Zongdao: "Our spies in Youzhou have sent back news that Yan Wang Liu Bei doesn't seem to have much relationship with Xianbei, and he fought with Xianbei a few times, and built a defense line in Shanggu Dai County to guard against Xianbei. He mobilized the troops of Shanggu and Daijun to go south, and it seems that Xianbei did not enter Youzhou because of the civil strife!"

"In terms of intelligence, there is no news to prove that there is a connection between them, but the Xianbei cavalry suddenly went south, there must be a plan, and it is absolutely extraordinary that they can easily knock through the Yanmen Pass!"

"The news just reached me, so I rushed back without stopping, because I was afraid that there was some kind of deal between Liu Bei and Xianbei!"

"Once they join forces, it means that the Xianbei cavalry was invited by them. The combat effectiveness of the Xianbei cavalry must not be underestimated. Once the Xianbei cavalry enters the battle, then we will face problems!"

Tan Zongdao: "I have already sent more spies to Youzhou and Bingzhou, but I guess it will take time to inquire about the specific news!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, his pupils flickered faintly, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently said, "So Liu Bei's followers are really them?"

He had doubts.

But there is no evidence.

Suspicion can only be suspicion, but now that the news is going south, he immediately figured it out. As for the situation in Youzhou, it may really have something to do with the internal affairs of the Xianbei tribe.

"Tan Zong, how much information about the Xianbei tribe does Jing Wusi have?"

Mu Jing paced back and forth, thought for a while, looked at Tan Zong, and asked.

"The information collected so far is not very much, and most of them are from the situation of some tribes after Tan Shihuai's death in battle!"

Tan Zongdao.

Tan Shihuai was the hero of the Xianbei unified tribe, but he died in Guanghe four years ago.

When he was alive, he unified the Xianbei tribes and developed the Xianbei tribe into the largest force outside the Han Dynasty, even the Huns could not compare.

The former Xiongnu tribe did indeed occupy Bashu on the grassland, but since the split between the north and the south, the Huns' development momentum has plummeted.

The northern Xiongnu had disappeared, and they were basically in the Western Regions. Although the southern Huns still had a little strength, they were only second to those who could plunder some people, and they did not have much strength to enter the court.

But Xianbei is different.

When Tan Shihuai was alive, he fought with the Han army many times with sharp swords and sharp guns. In the land of Monan, he was the overlord of a generation, and he could even bully grassland nomads like the Xiongnu Wuhuan. Here comes the word.

If it weren't for Tan Shihuai's rapid death, Xianbei's development would be better.

"Then tell me what you know!"

Mujing put his hands on his back, looked at the night sky outside the window, and said in a deep voice.

He really doesn't know much about Xianbei. There are too many things on weekdays, and he doesn't pay attention to things on the grassland. After all, they don't have contact with each other.

But now it cannot be avoided.

He still needs to understand clearly.

"Yes!"

Tan Zong nodded, he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "Since the unification of the Xianbei tribe, all the tribes have been unified and divided into three regions, namely the central Xianbei, which is in charge of the Danhanshan royal court. , and the eastern Xianbei to the east of Youzhou, and the western Xianbei to the west of Bingzhou!"

"Although Tan Shihuai is a hero of the generation, his son Helian is indeed an unworthy leader!"

"Helian inherited the leader of Xianbei, but he couldn't suppress the leader of the tribe below. The eastern Xianbei and western Xianbei separated from Danhan Mountain one after another!"

"I can't even hold back playing Hanshan. She is lustful, and there are generals who like to favor themselves. This makes the former general of Tanshihuai unconvinced!"

"Later, the two fought for power, and He Lianzai was shot to death when he attacked Youzhou. His son Qianman was young, and the leader took control of the power!"

"Later, Qianman grew up. With the help of his grandfather's Tanshihuai, he took back Danhan Mountain and inherited the main force of Xianbei in the middle. The leader went west and seized control of Xianbei in the west!"

"Eastern Xianbei has also undergone two power alternations!"

"Now the leader in charge of the Eastern Xianbei is Ke Bineng, a fairly young leader, but he is very powerful. He has five tribes under his command, each of which is brave and good at fighting. The overwhelming Wuhuan tribe can't breathe. There are many places in Youzhou!"

"The leader in charge of the Western Xianbei is Budugen. Budugen is the younger brother of the leader. After the death of the leader, he inherited the Xianbei of the Northwest, lingered in the Hetao Plain and the northern part of Bingzhou, and fought against the Huns all the year round. This person is also the same Is a hero!"

"The current situation in Xianbei is that although Qianman is in charge of the central Xianbei, the central Xianbei has been almost divided up. There are very few tribes under his command, and most of them are around Danhan Mountain. Khan Mountain!"

"The eastern Xianbei and the western Xianbei have been encroaching on the tribes in the central region, and they have grown stronger. There are also two Xianbei leaders who are known as the heroes of the grassland. They are brave and good at fighting, and they are difficult to deal with!"

"And I suspect that the ones who cooperated with Liu Bei to go south this time should be the elite of the eastern Xianbei of Ke Bineng, because although the western Xianbei has been hovering at the Yanmen Pass for many years, they have never been able to break through the pass and go south. Only when we come here can we cross the Yanmen Pass and enter Taiyuan County without our knowledge!"

Tan Zong spoke very carefully, and Mu Jing listened very carefully.

He already had some impressions of the Xianbei tribe.

Ke Bineng, Bu Dugen, these two people still want to leave a lot of names in history, so they must not be underestimated.

And Xianbei...

The nomadic peoples on the grasslands will disappear, unlike the Han culture, which will be passed down, leaving an indelible imprint.

But the nomads on the grasslands will be exterminated. Once they are exterminated, they will lose the foundation of tribal inheritance and will be lost in history.

Over the past dynasties, some nomadic peoples would rise up on the grasslands and even become overlords, invading the Central Plains to the south. Among them, the Yuan and Qing dynasties were the most successful.

In addition to the Mongols and Jurchen tribes, the most ruthless aggression to the south in Han culture is the Xianbei tribe.

The rise of the Xianbei tribe trampled on the corpses of the Han people. Because of them, they let the clothes go south, and because they made the Han people in the north into sheep with two feet.

This is a disgrace to the inheritance of Han culture.

…………

"Ke Bineng!"

Mujing pondered for a while, and asked, "How much do you know about his strength!"

"In Xianbei in the east, there are at least 15 people who control strings, and there are not a few tribal horses. If someone can afford food, they can form tens of thousands of cavalry and go south, no problem!"

Tan Zong said: "But I don't think Kebi would dare to do this, because the eastern and western Xianbei have been attacking each other for some years, and they both want to unify the Xianbei tribe, so Kebi dare not go south with all their nests! "

"Besides, if tens of thousands of cavalry enter the pass, no matter how full the country of Yan is, they will not be able to hide it from our northern spies. There are two reasons why the news came back so late. The first is their strength. Not many, second, and they were broken into parts, covering our sight in a short period of time!"

"I guess, within [-] cavalry!"

Tan Zong gave a range of numbers.

Even so, it was very scary.

The cavalry is the winning trump card on the battlefield of cold weapons. If [-] cavalry were on the plain battlefield, they would even dare to confront an army of [-].

"Continue to inquire, I want more accurate information, and besides..."

Mu Jing's eyes flashed a flash of determination and coldness, and he said: "Send a secret order to Luo Yang, if they can't keep it, let them withdraw to Tongguan!"

The situation is much worse than he imagined.

Luo Yang, Cao Cao will not forget this point.

Once the Wei army marched into Luoyang and wanted to cut off the Ming army's retreat, then Luoyang might not be able to defend it. He didn't want Xu Shu to die in Luoyang.
