Section 84 Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao
Saying farewell speechlessly and walking out of the palace, He Zhiqiu couldn't help asking his old friend: "Lao Lu, are you really sure to let Lin Guoxiong and the others withdraw from Lujiang and Bashan?"
"Sharing? Where can I get the right way? If you want Lin Guoxiong to spit out Lujiang, it would be better to cut a piece of meat from him." Lu Wenfu replied with a wry smile.
"You agreed as soon as Your Majesty opened your mouth?" He Zhiqiu could guess something vaguely, but he couldn't help asking.
"Old He, what is the purpose of Your Majesty's desire to attract me? You won't be able to see it, right? Since you have to deal with this matter well and cannot use the army, you naturally have to let me do it. Isn't this obvious thing? Anyway, it's better to agree openly." Turning his eyes to the distance, Lu Wenfu said lightly.
He Zhiqiu was speechless. His Majesty asked two people to talk about this matter. He could not use the army, and the main reason was that he did not have enough power to recover. Of course, he had to use other means to get back control of the two places. So who else except the other party in this job?
"But then again, I guess I will still have to use the army in the end." Lu Wenfu was silent for a while, then retracted his eyes.
"Mobilize the army? Is it necessary to use it? Now only the 1st Division of the Fourth Legion retreated to the Wuhu area next to it, so where can we use it? The army in the Wuhu area is stationed in the southern border area to confront the Maqikhan army and cannot be pulled out at all. You also know that unless "`````" Speaking of this, He Zhiqiu stopped talking and seemed to have some understanding.
Turning his eyes around, just in time to meet Lu Wenfu's eyes, both of them were shocked at the same time, as if they were thinking of the same place.
Liang Chongxin stared at the map hanging on the wall with his eyebrows deep locked, and the two big arrows from east to west on the map indicated the direction of the army of Bega and Loulan. It seemed that these two countries had made up their minds to stir up this muddy water. If they didn't give them a little bit of strength, they would not give up the idea in their hearts.
The man who was lifting the door brought a cold wind to make people clear their minds. Although the room was as warm as spring, it always made people feel drowsy.
"Secretary Commander, there is good news." The young man who rushed in quickly turned a little red and obviously excited.
Knowing that his deputy had always been calm and had such an expression, there must be some very important news. Liang Chongxin was also happy and asked hurriedly: "Speak slowly."
"Just received news from Xue Ge, Lord Li has agreed to your plan and asked the Guards Division stationed in Qingyang to head towards Vito overnight. The Vito Security Division has also made pre-war preparations. The two divisions are preparing to meet in the north of Vito and then advance north. Now the Guards Division has already set out to head towards Vito in the name of training. The road from Qingyang to Vito is in good condition. It is estimated that the two divisions will be able to meet in three days. The Loulan people will be panicked and don't know what to do." The young man looked full of spring breeze, obviously very happy.
"Oh? Is the reply from sir?" Liang Chongxin's eyes lit up, and he stood up and asked.
The young man reacted and quickly handed the secret letter in his hand to his boss. Liang Chongxin took it and took a brief look, and he felt relieved. It seemed that he had absolutely certainty in this war, and the rest was only to see how to fight more beautifully.
The Beiga soldiers had 40,000 troops on the eastern border of Wusun, while the right general Huyandao only had 30,000 National Defense Forces, so they could barely deal with it. Fortunately, the Beiga army seemed to have no intention of having a head-on conflict with the other side, and slowly moved the troops south, probably hoping to meet with the army of Loulan, which came from the west earlier. Now is a good opportunity. Liang Chongxin, who had a sneer, had already made up his mind.
On February 6, 696, the mainland calendar, Liang Chongxin led the First Division of the Northwest Legion and the First Independent Infantry Division of the Northern Luzon to advance east day and night, crossed the Wusun border and entered the territory of Beiga, colliding head-on with the 40,000 Beiga troops that were moving south steadily south. The two sides fought fiercely in the southwestern Baiga. Because the soldiers of the Beiga army were familiar with the local climate and had sufficient supplies and were convenient for geographical advantages, and the Northwest Army lacked supplies, the soldiers' inadequacy of the climate gradually revealed. Liang Chongxin led the main army to engage in a arduous tug-of-war with the other side, and the war was in a stalemate and gradually transformed into the Beiga side.
At the same time, under the strict order of King Sesina of Wusun, on February 10, the 30,000 Wusun National Defense Forces, led by the right general Huyandao, finally crossed the border between the two countries and quickly moved south, besieging the Baika army, which had already had advantages. On February 12, the Northwest Army and the Wusun National Defense Force launched a battle, and the war was extremely arduous and fierce. The Baika army, which had originally had advantages, wanted to evacuate after discovering the situation was taking a sharp turn, but was bitten by the Northwest Army and could not escape. They were forced to turn into defense, camped on the spot and held on their own, instead relying on the reinforcements of the Loulan Army, which was not far away.
"What? What did you say? His Majesty the King asked us to return to the army immediately?" As the commander of the army, Anletai couldn't believe his ears. Friends were surrounded and in danger. They could escape danger and even wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but this envoy actually asked him to return to the army immediately.
"Yes, it's the handwritten order of His Majesty the King. Please take a look at it." The visitor didn't know the seriousness of the problem. His Majesty the King looked so painful when he made this decision. However, the severe situation facing his country made His Majesty the King have to make such a decision against his will. As for the Kingdom of Bega, he can only say sorry.
After reading the letter handed over by the envoy, Anletai could only sigh to the sky. This was indeed the handwritten letter from His Majesty the King, and it was stamped with a seal, so it was not fake. He turned his eyes to the envoy unwillingly and asked, "What exactly made His urgent call to call us back to the army? I believe the envoy should be very clear, right?"
The visitor paused, hesitated for a moment before saying, "The northwest army suddenly invaded from Northern Luzon, and had crossed the border line, less than 300 miles away from the capital. General An also knew the situation in the capital, and there were only less than 10,000 troops, and the number of enemy troops exceeded 50,000, and was approaching the capital quickly. The military situation was like fire, so it was really impossible to delay it. Your Majesty was forced to ask General An to be the most important thing and immediately issue a return order." The envoy's face was covered with sweat, and he was obviously worried that An Letai would not accept the orders of the orders of an outside king.
After thinking about the case painfully for a while, in the end, Anletai had to accept this cruel reality and weigh the safety of his country and the survival of his allies. He could only make a choice. He looked at the West with guilt, and then a few words burst out from his teeth: "Come here! Pass my order, the front army will become the rear army, the rear army will become the front army, and return immediately!"
When he learned that the Loulan army suddenly returned to Loulan on the same road, abandoned his tens of thousands of troops in the enemy's encirclement, Altai's mind was blank, and he felt his ears buzzing, as if everything around him had become so strange. His originally rosy face suddenly became extremely pale, and even the close servants next to him seemed to hear the call. A pair of empty eyes stared at the front.
When the Prime Minister heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh in secret when he saw this. He didn't quite agree to form a close alliance with Haybal. After all, he was among two powerful forces. If he was not careful, he would bring unrestrained disasters to his country. However, his lord was full of interest. In addition, the repeated flattery of the Loulan people finally led to the disaster that he was today.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
It seemed that he had just woken up from a nightmare. Altai saw the prime minister standing in front of him, as if a drowning man saw a life-saving straw in despair. He quickly grabbed the other party's hand and said, "Ramo, what should we do now? This damn Loulan man was so shattered from the bottom of the pot, and he ignored allies and dangers. I, Altai, lived for decades, but didn't see through the guy with a human face and beastly heart! I was so blind!" At this point, Altai couldn't help but burst into tears.
He sighed in his heart that when the Prime Minister saw that his lord was so excited, he didn't have to say much, so he could only comfort him: "Your Majesty, it's not the time to talk about these things. In my humble opinion, it's better to find a way to resolve the current crisis first."
"Yes, yes," Altai was too excited and was too excited. He could not see any sense of stability at this time. "Then what should we do now?"
After pondering for a while, Prime Minister Ramo felt very embarrassed. Now that his country's main army has been besieged by the enemy on the southwest border, his existing forces have no way to solve this problem at all, and it will be a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out. Even if there is interference from external forces, it will be impossible to relieve the near thirst. If the opponent takes the opportunity to advance eastward, the capital will have no power to resist this powerful force, which is an imminent problem.
"In the eyes of Weichen, there are only two roads now, either surrendering to the Northwest Army or asking for help from Luobei people to intervene." He said two sentences with difficulty. Both roads were exchanged for a huge price. Prime Minister Ramo understood this very well, but now that things have come to this, what's the use of regret?
The hall was silent, and Altai slowly calmed down, obviously weighing the pros and cons of these two paths. He remembered what Haybal once said to him. Luo Beiren simply wanted to ask for more property, while Li Wufeng was a wolf that could not be fed. All the property, population and land were what he wanted to obtain. Although Haybal was not credible, this comment was still quite pertinent.
"Oh, it seems that this is the only one." Altai seemed to have grown a lot older at that moment, and he lowered his head weakly and murmured: "Ramo, then you can send someone to Wulan Town immediately and ask General Besan to intervene immediately. All conditions are easy to say. In addition, ```````"
He paused for a moment before he said hesitantly: "Do you think it is necessary for us to have some contact with Li Wufeng?" It seems that he was a little confused. After all, the essence of the Baikal standing army was surrounded. If it was lost, it would be difficult to recover in two or three years.
