Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1121 Reaching a Consensus
Taking a deep look at Tuoba Gelu, Huang Dongqiu knew that if he wanted to realize his idea, he had to agree with Tuoba Gelu, the head of the White Wolf Army, otherwise it would be difficult to mobilize the White Wolf Army's [-] troops.

"In my opinion, we must not break out in the direction of Heihong Mountain, that is to say, we cannot join forces with His Majesty!" Huang Dongqiu said word by word, he knew that once these words came out, let alone Tuoba Gelu, I'm afraid Zhan Xiongwu and Zhe Yuxuan will also have objections.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Gelu jumped up again, this time Zhan Xiong Wu didn't stop him, and Zhe Yuxuan looked at Huang Dongqiu suspiciously.Because they suddenly remembered Huang Dongqiu's background, and he was also a surrendered general from Song Dynasty.

Before Tuoba Gelu could speak, Huang Dongqiu held up his palms and said to Tuoba Gelu: "General Tuoba, don't be in a hurry to get angry, just listen to what I have to say, after listening, if you don't agree with it, then say it .”

Tuoba Gelu remembered what Zhan Xiong Wu said before, and sat down again, but he no longer concealed the murderous intent on his face.

Huang Dongqiu saw it in his eyes and was furious in his heart, but he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and was about to speak.Zhe Yuxuan suddenly said: "General Huang, please forgive me for being rude. The general's words have to make us suspicious. We have an army of nearly 200. Although we are surrounded, we are not proud of ourselves. The people who surrounded us The army, I really didn't look into it. I'm afraid it won't take much effort for us to break through to Heihong Mountain. Besides, it's only about [-] miles from here to Heihong Mountain, which is two or three days away. General Huang said we can't Go, does General Huang want to put His Majesty to death?"

Huang Dongqiu's face changed, he sighed, and said, "You are also veterans in the battlefield, so you might as well think about the reasoning behind it. First of all, let's calculate how many enemy sieges we will face on the ground on the two roads in Hebei?"

"There are nearly 20 troops from Shifat and Xiao Wanda of the Liao Army alone. The Song Army has nearly 30 troops after deducting the losses these days. That means we have to face an enemy close to [-]." Zhe Yuxuan thought about it. Once, said.

"What General Zhe said is right!" Huang Dongqiu nodded, "Yang Tingding's [-] cavalrymen of the Xuanwu Legion are still alive or dead. The worst estimate is that General Yang will be wiped out or maimed under the sudden attack of the opponent. We have a total of There are [-] troops, there are [-] from His Majesty, a total of more than [-] people, but the enemy may be four times as large as ours. What do you think will happen if we break through to Your Majesty at this time?"

Zhan Xiongwu and Zhe Yuxuan stood up, thoughtful, while Tuoba Gelu also frowned.

"Even if we break out of the siege, we will lure the enemies surrounding us to His Majesty. At that time, even if we join forces with His Majesty, counting the losses along the way, it would be good to have 6 people left, but the opponent has There are nearly 30 people, surrounded on all sides, and we are running out of food and grass. With the terrain of Heihong Mountain, how can we fight this battle, let alone fight, even if we are surrounded, we will be trapped there to death! "

"Besides, if my predictions are correct, the enemy army is probably planning to let us go, let our two armies join forces, and then gather and annihilate them!"

Zhan Xiongwu took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "General Huang, please continue!"

"Here, we must contain at least 20 troops of the Liao army. If we fight out and jump out of this encirclement, the number of enemies we will contain will increase. Moreover, we have nearly [-] cavalry with strong mobility and jump out of this encirclement. , how vast the world is outside, at that time the initiative is in our hands, our cavalry can beat any of their army horses at any time, in order to guard against us, they must mobilize more forces, the more enemy troops we contain, the more enemy troops we surround your majesty Naturally, there will be fewer!" Huang Dongqiu saw that the three had listened, he couldn't help but feel relieved, took a deep breath, and continued to speak solemnly.

"General Huang is right!" Zhan Xiongwu walked over.The murderous intent on Tuoba Gelu's face has also dissipated, and he regained his composure with a pensive look on his face.

……

……

It was late at night, and the four of them gathered for an afternoon battle meeting held by the brigade commander and above. All the battle plans had been arranged, and Huang Dongqiu stayed outside the big tent alone, letting the biting cold wind blow his face. Calm yourself.

The Liao army and the Song army have cut off all the channels between himself and His Majesty. Now that the information on both sides has been completely cut off, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Huang Dongqiu sent several capable messengers, refitting their faces, Go to contact His Majesty. In order to prevent his battle plan from leaking, the people he sent out this time are all daredevils. Even if they are caught, I believe these people will not tell the truth, but Huang Dongqiu has no confidence in these measures at all. .Because at this time, the road leading to Heihong Mountain must be full of enemy sentry cavalry.

Huang Dongqiu had reservations about what he said at the military meeting during the day, and he didn't fully express his own judgment.

His Majesty only has 6 people on his side. Although they are all cavalry, under such weather, the opponent only needs to dispatch [-] to [-] people to entangle His Majesty with ease. What's more, most of the people who deal with His Majesty are led by Dang Jin. The elite of the Northwest Frontier Army and Guo Wuwei's Hedong Army.

Fight, can't win, escape, can't escape, this is the dilemma His Majesty is facing now, maybe His Majesty can create a miracle again.But... no matter what, this time should not approach Heihong Mountain.

Huang Dongqiu grabbed a large handful of snow from the ground irritably, and rubbed his face with the snow. The snow slowly melted on his face, and the ice water flowed down his neck into his clothes, making him shiver.

I took a huge political risk in this move, especially since I was originally a surrendered general of the Song Army who came over halfway.In the case of Dang Jin and others rebelling after surrendering, and when His Majesty was in crisis, the decision he made was not to rescue His Majesty immediately, but the opposite. I am afraid that in the eyes of many people, I am indeed unpredictable.

I can also disregard the safety of the army, break through quickly, and rush to His Majesty's side. With the combat power of the Xuanwu Army and the White Wolf Army, Huang Dongqiu estimates that after losing about one-third or even half of his troops at most, he will be able to rush to Under the Black Hong Mountain, but what should we do next?He brought not only the remaining 30 to [-] troops, but also [-] chasing troops. His Majesty still couldn't escape, and it was even more dangerous.At that time, the only thing I can get is to let the world see my loyalty to His Majesty!

"However... His Majesty needs me to show this loyalty? Or does he need to see my loyalty, or is he willing to see a rational choice as the commander of an army? People's hearts are unpredictable, not to mention that the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea. I don't know what His Majesty thinks.

Between the dilemma, Huang Dongqiu finally made a choice. As a qualified commander, he decided to follow the rational choice.As for whether His Majesty will settle accounts in the future, or whether His Majesty is unlucky, whether the Xiangfu Kingdom court will investigate the crime of not rescuing His Majesty, that is something for later, and I have a clear conscience.

Vigorously wiping off the water droplets on his face, Huang Dongqiu turned around and wanted to return to the handsome tent.

"General Huang!" There was a sudden call, Huang Dongqiu turned around and saw Tuoba Gelu walking over rubbing his hands.

A smile appeared on Huang Dongqiu's face. Seeing Tuoba Gelu's appearance, he knew what Tuoba Gelu meant.

"General Huang, before the military discussion, the attitude of the last general was Meng Lang, and the general apologized to General Huang. After returning, the more the general thought about it, the more he felt that what General Huang said was reasonable. We are really far away from planning military strategies and engaging in conspiracies. Far inferior to you Han people!" Tuoba Gelu said seriously.

Huang Dongqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, was he praising himself or belittling himself!
"General Huang, Tuoba Gelu can't pay you!" Tuoba Gelu saluted Huang Dongqiu seriously.

Huang Dongqiu hurriedly returned the salute, grabbed Tuoba Gelu, and said with a smile: "Brother Tuoba, I know you lost your composure because you were only thinking about His Majesty's safety. How could I take it to heart?"

Tuoba Gelu sighed, looked in the direction of Heihong Mountain, and said with a gloomy expression: "General Huang, although what you said is reasonable, there are only 1000 troops on Heihong Mountain, His Majesty, it is really dangerous!"

Huang Dongqiu also looked very solemn, and said: "I also know, so General Tuoba, we have to work together, the harder we fight outside, the more enemies we destroy and contain, the easier it will be for Your Majesty."

Tuoba Gelu regained his spirits, his expression was full of murderous intent, and he said, "That's right, I'm going to start a killing spree today."

Huang Dongqiu nodded, and said in the same cold voice, "That's right, we're going to kill."

……

……

Just after dawn, the quiet Xiangfu Kingdom camp suddenly boiled, and the camp gate opened wide. Tuoba Gelu led two infantry brigades and a thousand cavalry battalion of the White Wolf Legion as the vanguard, rushed out of the camp gate, and rushed towards the direction of Heihong Mountain advance.About half an hour after Tuoba Gelu's 1000 men set off, Zhan Xiongwu led two cavalry brigades of the Xuanwu Legion, [-] cavalry, rushed out of the camp gate, and went straight after Tuoba Gelu.

Tuoba Gelu was riding on the horse, but he was thinking about the military orders issued by Huang Dongqiu and his analysis of the enemy generals.

"General Tuoba, in the direction you are going, there are [-] infantry soldiers stationed in the Northwest Frontier Army of the Song Dynasty. The chief general is Tang Peng, the deputy commander of the Northwest Frontier Army. Commander, he has cooperated with many times in battles. I know him well. This person tends to be conservative. Our army, but the morale of the army will inevitably be greatly affected. In addition, in the past few years, the Northwest Frontier Army has been defeated by our Xiangfu State Army many times. Heart of fear."
