Tielan Pass Fortress.&1t;/p>

The clouds were covered with clouds and thick smoke rolled into the sky. The majestic pass had become riddled with holes and blood. Piles of corpses spread from the wall to the distant fields. The air was filled with a pungent burning smell.&1t;/p>

The soldiers of the Far East Army, covered in armor and blood, looked at the Hanhai soldiers who retreated like a tide. They held their weapons and made a shocking cheer. This was their fifteenth large-scale attack to repel the Hanhai soldiers.&1t;/p>

The city of Guancheng was filled with corpses, including Far East Army and Hanhai soldiers. Many of them were incomplete and bloody. However, the Far East Army soldiers who repelled the Hanhai soldiers were too tired. They were exhausted and had no energy to clean the battlefield. They leaned on the corpses and gasped, waiting for the next battle.&1t;/p>

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!" Taking advantage of the retreat of Han Hai Army, the fire-headed soldiers carried a frame of black-faced steamed buns to the wall. The hungry Far East soldiers rushed over and were immediately snatched away.&1t;/p>

The Far East Army Command escaped from Hanbing City in Dandong Province to Tielan Pass before stopping its retreat. Because the cavalry of the Hanhai Army bit his butt tightly, the Far East Army's food, grass, weapons and supplies fell into the hands of the Hanhai Army. The Far East Army is no longer the Far East Army who can fight well. They were chased here by the Hanhai Army like a dog that was stray. Not only were the food shortage, but the morale in the army was also sluggish.&1t;/p>

"Damn it, this battle is so cowardly-" Sitting in the muddy pool of blood, biting the hard black-faced steamed bun, the soldiers of the Far East Army were full of resentment.&1t;/p>

Someone reminded carefully: "You say less, be careful that the commander will be beaten by a military stick when he hears it."&1t;/p>

A retreat order from the Far East Army Command threw more than a dozen provinces in the Far East to the Hanhai people. The Far East Army collapsed without fighting in a single battle. Seeing the Hanhai people [31 Novel Network         Update Fast] showing off their power under Tielan Pass, the soldiers of the Far East Army were filled with breath and no place to leak.&1t;/p>

Now when we walk on the street, the soldiers of the Far East are all the targets of people's curse and call them escape troops. This is more uncomfortable for the Far East soldiers who are determined to defend their country than killing them.&1t;/p>

But this is the fact. Without any resistance, they handed over the Far East to the Hanhai people and abandoned tens of millions of people. The prestige of the Far East Army Command has reached a freezing point.&1t;/p>

Although the Far East Army is now struggling to resist the fierce attack of the Hanhai people in Tielanguan, and there are heavy casualties every day, the residents of Tielanguan do not buy it because they are escaped soldiers, and people will throw stones when they walk on the streets...&1t;/p>

The soldiers of the Far East were full of complaints and stood on the front line, but the generals of the Far East Command were worried about their future.&1t;/p>

Give up the thirteen provinces in the Far East without authorization and throw tens of millions of residents to the Hanhai people. Although Liu Wenwu explained it as a strategic retreat in his report to Wang Jing, it was just a self-deception. In general, he was still afraid of death and wanted to preserve his strength.&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu is also very regretful now. The Far East Army has now become a rat crossing the street and everyone is calling it a fight. Not only the Hanhai people look down on them and call them cowards, but even the people of their own mocked them as escaped troops.&1t;/p>

But at this point, Liu Wenwu had no other choice. He just hoped to defend Tielan Pass and firmly control the army in his hands so that he could maintain his glory and wealth.&1t;/p>

"Ship Liu, Hanhai people's attack is becoming more and more fierce. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be able to defend." Chief of staff Wang Dong frowned, very worried.&1t;/p>

"We have to defend even if we can't defend. Now we have no way out. The Far East is lost. If Tielan Pass cannot defend, we will really have no way out."&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu ordered: "You go to Kara Province in person and tell the Governor of Kara Province that if Tielan Pass cannot be defended, their Kara Province will be the brunt of it, and his Governor will not be able to do it. Tell him that all men over fifteen years old and under sixty years old will be recruited for me and join our Far East Army!"&1t;/p>

Wang Dong was worried: "Will this stir up civil unrest?"&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu waved his hand: "I can't care so much now. Wang Jing has appointed Lin Nuoyan as the commander and led an army of 150,000 to Tielan Pass. If we want to survive, we must have enough strength. Do you understand?"&1t;/p>

Wang Dong nodded, "Let me do this."&1t;/p>

The Far East Army retreated too hastily, not only did it lose many people, but many troops did not receive the order to retreat in time. In the end, they were made into dumplings by the Hanhai people. Only 80,000 Far East Army escaped to Tielan Pass alive. The rest of the troops were either annihilated or defeated.&1t;/p>

Now Liu Wenwu understands very well that he needs enough strength now. As long as he holds heavy troops, Wang Jing will not dare to do anything to himself.&1t;/p>

When I win a few battles and spend some money to operate, I will be able to escape the blame for losing land. I have to say that Liu Wenwu's abacus is very good.&1t;/p>

When the Nanchuan Army Marshal Lin Nuoyan led the army out, he held a secret edict from Emperor Long Han, which was to let him act according to the opportunity. If possible, arrested the Far East Army Marshal Liu Wenwu, escorted back to Wang Jing for trial, and control the Far East Army.&1t;/p>

Lin Nuoyan led his army to gallop at night and finally arrived at Tielan Pass on February 20. Before he arrived at Tielan Pass, Lin Nuoyan sent a scout to investigate the facts of the Far East Army. When he learned that the Far East Army still had 180,000 troops, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​arresting Liu Wenwu, because if he was not careful, it would cause internal fighting. In the end, the cheaper one was the Hanhai people.&1t;/p>

Faced with Lin Nuoyan's arrival, the Far East Army Marshal Liu Wenwu was still very vigilant. He refused the Nanchuan Army to enter the Tielan Pass on the grounds that the Tielan Pass is limited, but instead asked the Nanchuan Army to set up camp outside the pass.&1t;/p>

Lin Nuoyan smiled at Liu Wenwu's vigilance and agreed happily. After all, it is not the time for liquidation, and unanimous external relations is the right thing to do.&1t;/p>

Lin Nuoyan ordered the Nanchuan army to set up two camps with 100,000 troops and 50,000 guards to Tielanguan to read out the emperor's decree. Since the secret edict could not be implemented, he could only temporarily calm Liu Wenwu's heart.&1t;/p>

"Liu Shuai, Lin Nuoyan has arrived before the pass, so he requests to enter the pass." Lin Nuoyan's arrival made Tilan Pass nervous.&1t;/p>

"How many soldiers did he bring?" Liu Wenwu asked.&1t;/p>

"Below fifty, they are all some guards."&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu stood up and walked in the house. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Switch, I'll go to welcome the reinforcements in person!"&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu's attitude was very low. After all, he was a defeated general. He personally led dozens of senior generals of the Far East Army to welcome Lin Nuoyan's arrival before closing the door.&1t;/p>

Seeing the city's strict vigilance, Lin Nuoyan did not say it out loud, but read the imperial edict with a smile.&1t;/p>

The imperial edict began with severe criticism of Liu Wenwu's unauthorized strategic retreat without Wang Jing's approval, but the final punishment was minimal. He was fined three years of salary and asked him to atone for his sins. This is a typical thunder and raindrops.&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu did not expect that Wang Jing's punishment was so light, which was beyond his expectations. He could not understand for a moment. According to his sins, beheading was light.&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu raised his head and looked at Lin Nuoyan: "Ship Lin, isn't this a lie to me?"&1t;/p>

Lin Nuoyan laughed: "Does Liu Shuai suspect that this imperial edict is fake?"&1t;/p>

Liu Wenwu stood there without saying anything, saying that he had agreed to this statement.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty originally wanted to chop your head. You lost the thirteen provinces of the Far East and lost more than 100,000 troops. Killing you a hundred times is not enough. But Your Majesty is kind and I think you are also an old minister of the two dynasties. You have made great contributions to the dynasty. If you don't have any contributions, you will work hard. This will give you a chance to atone for your sins. Don't you thank me?"&1t;/p>

After hearing this, Liu Wenwu felt relieved and hurriedly received the order to thank him. The other senior generals in the Far East all breathed a sigh of relief. Since Liu Wenwu was fine, they naturally would not be criticized. The uneasiness in their hearts could finally be put down.&1t;/p>
