Chapter 288 Unexpected Reconciliation

The Jin army finally retreated.

For Qingtang people, whether it is the partial division of Guizhang who has been harassed all the way, or the main force here in Daying, it is a rare respite.

In just half a day of fierce fighting, nearly ten thousand Qingtang people were killed or injured.Among them, nearly [-] of the [-] Zalan soldiers were damaged, and nearly [-]% of the Enlan cavalry was also damaged.

The Jin army also suffered thousands of casualties.

But as far as the morale of both sides is concerned, the morale of the Jin army is still high, but the morale of the Qingtang people has been exhausted.

And the most important thing is that those who lost in today's battle are all Tuoba clan's tribe.

This caused Tuoba Chide to immediately get angry in the Great Buddha House, "Brother Ye Lirong, Ren Duo alone, why do you two refuse to send troops?"

"Majesty, even the Tuoba clan's tribe can't keep their tents anymore, and our morale is also very low. Going out to fight is no match for the Jin army."

"That's right, Majesty, our position was blocked in the camp, and we didn't send troops, it was precisely to contain the Jin army's rear army, otherwise Tuoba's front camp would have been completely breached."

The two had already found an excuse, but now Tuoba Chide could only frown after hearing this.

Before today, they could only bow their heads and plead guilty after hearing the doubts.

But now, he can feel that the attitude of the two of them is obviously different from the past, so submissive on the surface.

Tuoba Chide even thought about it, and wanted to let Nu Yalang drag these two obtrusive people out of the tent and kill them, and then hang their heads on the high poles at the camp gate to show the public.

But he can't.Everyone is watching.

There are tens of thousands of Yeli and Renduo's followers. Once Ye Lirong and Renduo are killed here alone, it will definitely trigger a civil war among the Qingtang people.

This is completely different from the time when he killed Nori Gongroku.

After all, at that time, regardless of whether it was true or not, he had some "evidence" to prove that Nori Kyoroku had the intention of "rebellion".

And Noriyoung also played some role in it.

But now, with the enemy at hand, if the Qingtang people had internal strife, they would definitely be wiped out by the Jin people.

"Majesty, the most urgent task right now is to worry about what to do tomorrow, the enemy is at hand."

In terms of Zanpo, it can be regarded as giving a few people a step down.

Tuoba Chide changed the subject and said: "Today's battle is not a crime of war. The enemy army attacked the camp last night and made people panic. That's why we gave the Jin army a chance to show off its power today. Moreover, the Jin army took the initiative to attack our camp. , so that the rear armies of the various ministries cannot go out to fight, and cannot take advantage of our army's strength. Tomorrow, our army will go out to fight with them in the field, and we will surely win."

Tuoba Chide's words stunned almost everyone including Tuoba Awu, the majesty still wants to fight?

Today the camp is almost unable to hold. If it wasn't for the darkness, the Jin army would retreat back to the camp.It's hard to say what it will be like today.

Twelve camps have been breached and nearly ten thousand soldiers have been lost, so why do you want to take the initiative to attack?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Tuoba Chide glanced down, his face frosty.

"Why do you guys have any opinions?"

Of course Tuoba Chide knew that the current morale of the army was no longer useful, but now he was absolutely unable to utter the words to withdraw the troops.

He thought that once he really retreated and returned without success, his reputation and authority would be greatly damaged.And his son Tuoba Ge's reputation rose greatly because of his earlier advice to withdraw from the army.

Now this is only the first day of the Jin army's dispatch of troops, so I couldn't hold on anymore, and retreated immediately, wouldn't it prove that what he said was right?

Moreover, after the Zhalan soldiers and Enlan cavalry attacked today, the offensive of the Jin army was also slowed down to a certain extent, so now he felt that if he gathered all the troops and fought a field battle with the Jin army, he might not be invincible.

As long as the Jin army is willing to fight, he has a chance.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tuoba Chide glanced at Lun Zanpo.

"Before we tried our best to get the Jin army to fight, but the Jin army has always stood firm. Now that they are finally willing to fight, they have a chance to win."

In desperation, Lun Zanpo could only bite the bullet and said that he knew that everyone wanted to retreat now.

But right now it is not possible to retreat if you want to.

It was only a few tens of miles away from the Jin army's camp, and they couldn't hide any news from the other party.If they fled in a hurry, all the ministries would be out of order. As long as the Jin army pursued them, it would not be difficult to defeat them one by one.

So he didn't agree to withdraw the troops immediately, but he was also worried about what the Majesty said about going to war.

However, if you fight with the Jin army in the field, you will definitely win, but it is just a narrow escape situation.
But right now the majesty asked him this way because he wanted him to speak out to appease everyone, so for the morale of the army, he could only reluctantly do what he could.

Brother Ye Lirong looked at Lun Zanpo suspiciously when he heard this, "Old Military God, is what you said true?"

After hearing this, Lun Zanpo sighed and said: "If we want to retreat now, unless the Jin army intends to let us go, we have no chance. And if we are defending the camp, although we are numerous, we have nothing to rely on. It is true that the only way to fight is to fight." Victory. Or."

Speaking of this, Lun Zanpo shook his head and said nothing.

Brother Ye Lirong did understand, or maybe later, there are two words, "summation".

Ren Duo said alone: ​​"Prime Minister, what should we do if we are defeated in a field battle? The morale of the Jin army is like a rainbow. We lost our soldiers because of the strong bow a few days ago, and today's battle is even more demoralizing."

But at this time, Lun Zanpo asked directly before he finished speaking: "Then retreat now, is it possible to retreat? In addition to Guizhang and Nanzhao Army, there are also tens of thousands of Yuzang troops. We currently have nearly 10 people." Just under Songzhou City, hundreds of miles away from the Xihai Plateau, even dozens of miles away from Gansong Ridge, these tens of miles away, the cavalry of the Jin army can be reached in an instant, and there are thousands of soldiers who dare to fight in the city, but they don't know who they are. How can you deal with it?"

What Lun Zanpo said in these few words seemed to be a lesson to the younger generation, directly leaving Ren Duo alone speechless.

And Ren Duo did fight under Lun Zan Po when he was young alone, so he couldn't refute this sentence no matter in terms of reason or identity.

The atmosphere in the Great Buddha House became a little weird, everyone wanted to say something, but they couldn't speak.

Even many people are dissatisfied with the Maharaja in their hearts, thinking that because he cares about his own face, he has fallen into danger for everyone.But after all, he is a maharaja, the lord of a country, and he has not yet lost his prestige.

Zhalan Tiejia, Enlan Cavalry, Nuyalang, Palace Iron Guards, the five elites of the Wanhusuo in the central region, as well as Liuzhi Township, Ximo, Baima and other tribes, these people are still only obeying the orders of the Maharaja.

Even the head of the Renduo clan of the Yeli family of the Hao family can only make a few words of excuses on this occasion, and he dare not directly tear himself apart with him.

Even if other tribes are dissatisfied, what else can they do?
But at this time, someone still stood up and said something that Tuoba Chide least wanted to hear at the moment, and this person was also the person he least wanted to see now.

"Your Majesty, my ministers ask for orders to go to the Jin Army camp to seek peace, and persuade the Jin Army commander Fu Jinchuan to strike, so that we can return to the West Sea Plateau calmly. We Qingtang people have shed enough blood in this battle. If things go on like this, all the young and strong of Dabaigao Country will die here, and our neighbors will not miss this opportunity."

It was none other than Tuoba Ge who spoke.

Tuoba Chide's least favorite son.

But he is currently the only prince who is qualified to inherit the throne of Maharaja.
