Chapter 689

The news that the defenders of Hukou defense line were defeated again reached the Jiangfang governor's house, which shocked everyone!

Although it is known that Yan Jun's plan was won, we did not expect to be defeated so miserably. Almost all the more than 400000 people and horses were killed in battle. The people and horses that can be sent to guard the country's gate during the national war are the elite of the Song Dynasty! He failed so miserably and so quickly!

"Xu laiping died in the war..." Wu Qun lie, who was holding the war report, heaved up to the sky with a long sigh, and then slumped down on the chair after the case was settled. "It's my fault, it's my fault!"

He knew that the evacuation order sent to Liao and Xu was still late, otherwise he could not have failed so miserably.

The enemy's manpower is limited. Even if it breaks through with all its strength, it can't kill so many people.

This is the determination to stick to the Hukou defense line and live or die together with the Hukou defense line.

He can imagine the tragic scene of Hukou soldiers fighting to the end. Behind it is his own country and home. Hukou soldiers vowed to stop the enemy to the death!

"It's my fault!" Wu Qun lie kept whispering, with tears in his eyes.

This is obviously well planned by the enemy. After robbing the grain, they start immediately. When they wait for the news, they will send the news back. In the middle of the gap, the Hukou defense line is still carrying out the order to defend the Hukou defense line at any cost.

This is the time difference when the enemy is fighting. His tricks are set one by one. He is under the control of the enemy every step and forcibly lets the following people and horses drill into the enemy's trap.

As soon as Luo Zhao heard the situation, he knew it was difficult to hold here, and he was obviously slow to respond. If he reacted faster and made a decisive decision to evacuate people, how could 400000 elite people be destroyed?

He can't blame the top or the bottom. Since he is the governor of Jiangfang and has the right to command in the face of war, as a commander-in-chief, he should withstand the pressure.

For example, Meng Shanming can resist the pressure of the Yan Court and insist on attacking the Song Dynasty. For example, Luo Zhao can resist the pressure of the Song court and insist on taking Yanjing.

As a soldier, we must resolutely implement military orders, but as a commander-in-chief, we must have our own opinions. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the commander can't immediately understand the situation of the war. The commander can't be a submissive echo. He has the right to make on-the-spot decisions on the battlefield, but he must bear the consequences for his own decisions, that is, he will not accept the orders of the monarch outside.

Therefore, Wu qunlie repented and blamed himself for being too conservative and not fully fulfilling the responsibility of the coach.

……

On the way, there was silence in the main hall of the post station. Luo Zhao stood in front of the map and stared at the map silently.

A group of people stared at Luo Zhao quietly behind. The news of the disastrous defeat of the Hukou defense came again. The 400000 elite of the state of song disappeared, and everyone was very heavy.

First, the Hukou defense line was raided and broken by the Yan army. Then the Yan army pretended to be defeated and gave the Hukou defense line to the song army. Finally, the Yan army attacked the Hukou defense line and dealt a heavy blow to the song army.

Yan Jun only focused on a hukou defense line, which made Song Jun lose 600000 elite troops, which is more than the Yan Jun troops destroyed by Song Jun's invasion into Yan state. How can people's heart not be heavy?

Luo Zhao, who received the news of the tragic defeat, didn't say a word. He didn't blame anyone or anyone. He just stood quietly in front of the map.

After a long time, Luo Zhao took a deep breath and said calmly, "there are almost 1.4 million people and horses in Wu qunlie's hand. Mengshanming has at least 2.5 million people and horses in his hand, so it's not suitable to touch them again. Give orders to Wu qunlie to give up the hard touch, and the Jiangfang people and horses will turn into harassment and entanglement, consuming Yan army!"

Before the Hukou defense line was broken, he made concessions and ordered Wu qunlie to give up the defense line and annihilate the people and horses crossing the river in advance with absolute advantage. If not, entangle again. When the news of the loss of 400000 elite came, he realized that it was difficult for Wu qunlie to be Meng Shanming's opponent. In addition, he lost so many people and horses. He resolutely made another concession, directly asked Wu qunlie to give up the attack and directly adopted the strategy of killing Yan army.

He could not grasp the situation of the war immediately. Considering the confrontation strength of Wu qunlie and Meng Shanming, he could only choose the most stable strategy.

After Wen youluemo, he reminded: "the metropolitan governor, this strategy of non resistance will be regarded as weak and will be greatly criticized by the court."

Luo Zhao looked very calm when facing the map, "It can be seen from this battle that Meng Shanming is worthy of a generation of famous generals. He played all kinds of tricks in just one Hukou defense line. It can be imagined that Wu qunlie and Meng Shanming are not opponents in the face-to-face confrontation. Unfortunately, I can't return to Jiangfang immediately by birds. If I leave, the imperial court will die when it hears that Hukou was defeated miserably. When I leave, no one here can carry the dynasty The pressure of the imperial court. So I'd rather be safe, as long as I can win in the end, as long as the final victory belongs to the great Song Dynasty, it's also right to pay some price! "

……

Yanjing, although the good news of Yan army breaking through the defense line of the state of song has spread in the capital, there is no happy atmosphere.

The song army is getting closer and closer to Yanjing. The news can't be concealed.

What if the Yan army breaks through the song army's defense line? The state of Yan is about to fall. The emperor of Shang Dynasty ignored the interests of Da Yan for his own interests.

The attitude of the people in the capital has changed due to the dissemination and provocation of the people with intentions. They are almost cursing the emperor of the Shang Dynasty and mengshanming. They almost call them national thieves. They want to frustrate the bones and ashes of the two thieves!

"Good news!"

A weak voice came from outside the imperial study. A eunuch knew the current atmosphere. He dared not say the word "good news" loudly, and carefully held the good news in.

Tong Mo, Shang Yongzhong and Gao Jiancheng's eyes fell on Shang Jianxiong who checked the success report after the case was settled.

Several disciples of the three major sects who were in charge of monitoring in the imperial study looked on coldly. Since Shang Jianxiong arbitrarily mobilized people and horses from the north, the three major sects have treated them like this.

Shang Jianxiong was expressionless about the content of the success report and passed it to Tong Mo for inspection.

Looking at the rear, the three knew that the army attacking song had wiped out nearly 400000 elite troops of the other party.

Normally, this is a great victory to be congratulated, but none of you in the imperial study is happy.

Shang Yongzhong snorted coldly, "it's just a pile of human lives. When crossing the river, he forced the imperial court to take the lead. His heart can be killed!"

Just then, Meng Xuan, the leader of Lingjian mountain, appeared outside the door. Please come in.

After standing in the imperial study, Meng xuanleng glanced at the people, and his eyes finally fell on Shang Jianxiong. "Your Majesty, why hasn't the will of the two meritorious officials to seal the Marquis been given yet?"

Shang Jianxiong said in a deep voice, "fight to death? Push the imperial court forward to die. It's only a river. In an instant, 200000 imperial court people and horses are lost, but the princes and horses hide behind to preserve their strength! The dead are the imperial court people and horses, the lives of the Imperial officers and soldiers are used, and the people who perform meritorious deeds and receive rewards are the princes. Is there such a truth in the world?"

Meng Xuan's face was expressionless. "Your Majesty is impulsive. The people of the imperial court and the people of the princes are all Dayan's soldiers in the final analysis. The soldiers in front should be inspired and make an order!"

The other party was holding his breath and couldn't explain. He didn't bother to talk nonsense. He forced Gong Lince directly. Gong Lince was on the front line, but he made a promise in public and wanted to reply within three days. He Meng Xuan was in the rear. If he couldn't do this, wouldn't he be dismantling Gong Lince's platform? Now is the time to work together.

Forced and helpless, Shang Jianxiong finally gave up the will of the marquis.

……

The wind and thunder hall is an important place for military aircraft of the state of Qi. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter.

General Huyan Wuhen stood in front of a map, staring at the map and wandering in front of the map.

What he is staring at is the map of Dongyu River between Yan and song. Recently, he has been here almost all the time, waiting for the war news there at any time.

Knowing that he was paying close attention to the war, a general hurried into the house after getting a new situation and presented a report: "general Shang, the song army of Hukou defense line was defeated miserably. The military grain given to Hukou garrison was ambushed by Yan army, the garrison was attacked by Yan army inside and outside, and 400000 people and horses were destroyed!"

Huyan Wuhen took the war report and looked at it in detail. He sighed and shook his head and said, "it's a dead battle. It's a pity that he despised the enemy." Fu looked up and asked, "can you find out how the sneak attackers and horses of Yan army crossed the river before crossing the river?"

The general replied, "I don't know yet, but I'll know sooner or later."

Huyan Wuhen waved his hand and motioned him to step down. Then he stood in front of the map and pondered.

He was thinking about this recently. The song army's defense line was broken a little, and the whole line was loose. The Hukou garrison suffered such a disastrous defeat. He was not surprised. On the contrary, he was very interested in the group of people and horses that lurked in the past before crossing the river. The song army was so careful in defense. How did Yan army lurk so many people and horses in the past?

All the people in the world say: Yanshan is singing, and Qi has no hatred!

But he didn't understand how Meng Shanming did it. According to the information, Song Jun is still confused and defeated so far.

They are both famous all over the world. They don't understand Meng Shanming's tactics. He can't sleep well and has been thinking about it over and over.

As a generation of famous generals, I can't understand the tactics of other generals, and I can't even understand it afterwards. Even Qi huanghao yuntu asked about it, he couldn't tell one, two or three. How can he be at ease?

Thinking of Hao yuntu's strange eyes and the way he wanted to stop talking, he could guess what the other party wanted to say, but he didn't mean to say it in consideration of his face, which made him very unhappy.

……

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Luo Daan and a monk came out of the tent.

A group of people were waiting at the door. Zhang Hu couldn't help asking, "Da An, how about Meng Shuai?"

Luo Daan nodded: "Meng Shuai woke up. Please come in."

When entering the account, Gong Lince asked the disciple who had just come out, "how is he?"

The disciple replied, "it's all right. I just took the elixir of Tonifying Qi and blood."

Gong Lince nodded slightly and entered the account.

Xu Jingyue stopped beside Luo Daan and asked, "are you Luo an's eldest son?" he also heard Zhang Hu say not long ago.

"Yes!" Luo Daan bowed. "I've seen General Xu."

Xu Jingyue looked back and offered a sword. Xu Jingyue received it and handed it to Luo Daan. "Your father and I are old friends. This sword is good. You can stay around for self-defense."
