Chapter 270
They are all veteran generals, how could they not understand the deep meaning of Liang Hong's arrangement.
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Liang Hong also knew what they were thinking.
"Everyone, this battle is crucial to the South Courtyard. This king does not want to see any accidents. For the sake of the hundreds of millions of people in the South Courtyard, please fight bravely."
Fuck the people, when did Liang Hong have the people in his heart? In the final analysis, it was not for his own life and future. As long as Liang Hong is not dead, even if the South Courtyard is lost, it will not have much impact on him.
Maybe the court will send troops to help Liang Hong recapture the South Courtyard. At that time, he will still be the high and mighty King of the South Courtyard, but who cares about their contributions to the South Courtyard except their families.
Even the losses of the South Courtyard's defeat will be attributed to them. Liang Hong is not incapable of doing such a thing.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will fight to the end with the Zhenbei Army."
General Zhang, the oldest among the few, took the lead in expressing his position, and the others also hurriedly echoed.
If they don't agree, they may have to leave the camp.
"Everyone, go and prepare."
Liang Hong raised his hand to wave away the crowd. At this moment, Liang Hong was not worried that they would dare to resist. The main reason was that they thought their families were in Liang State and these people were worried.
Secondly, Liang Hong was defeated, but Liang State was still strong. With such a strong backer, these generals had no other choice but to obey orders.
But Liang Hong didn't know that Han Xin had already made a move.
Originally, Liang Hong might have known about this, but his order just now made all the generals choose to remain silent, and no one reported this matter.
This was also the credit of Shadow. Shadow was also selective about the generals who rebelled. Shadow did not move those who were loyal to Liang Hong.
After everyone left, Liang Hong issued another order and confirmed Liang Hong's plan.
"Everyone, we must take the elite troops of the South Court back. Go back and prepare. When the Zhenbei Army launches an offensive and the rear cavalry is tied up, we will retreat immediately."
Liang Hong did not say what others should do, but the people present knew it.
The rabbit dies and the fox mourns. The future is bleak. The few people who received Han Xin's letter in the field silently lowered their heads and covered the letter in their arms tightly.
General Zhang and others who left did not gather together, but looked at each other meaningfully and returned to the camp to mobilize troops.
They are not stupid. Liang Hong asked them to be cannon fodder, so how could they not be on guard.
As for how everyone will choose next, there is no need to discuss it. Everyone has their own destiny.
Han Xin does not know the specific situation in the Liang Army for the time being, and no one has contacted the Zhenbei Army for the time being.
Han Xin is not in a hurry. He deploys step by step and strives to decide this time with one battle.
Jimeng Mountain is the last stronghold controlled by the Liang army. It has 2 million elite soldiers. In front of them are Wu Qi's 700,000 barbarian cavalry. Huo Qubing has returned to the barbarian grassland.
Compared with the Liang people and the Xia people, the barbarians are barbaric and backward, but they are easier to conquer.
Not to mention the soldiers, who are controlled by the skills, even the generals have no concept of ethnic homeland in their hearts. As long as they can live well, they are willing to work for anyone.
This is also the reason why the barbarian cavalry has developed rapidly. As long as Long Tian has enough food supply and controls the lifeline of the barbarians, the barbarians can be successfully taken down.
When Wu Qi arrived at Jimeng Mountain, he also brought a lot of arrows. Fortunately, this was in the territory of Liang State, and the transportation was covered by caravans, so it was not too troublesome.
Wu Qi changed his strategy and took the initiative to send people to harass Jimeng Mountain, mainly with bows and arrows.
700,000 cavalrymen, each 100,000 in a team, three teams were dispatched every day, surrounding Jimeng Mountain without a clear target and direction of attack, and attacking indiscriminately, which brought great trouble to Jiao Zi.
At this moment, the situation on Jimeng Mountain was not good.
Jiao Zi was completely trapped in Jimeng Mountain. Don’t look at his back, it can even be said that the surrounding areas are all cities of Liangguo Nanyuan, but Jiao Zi dare not move.
The death of Ji Shuai caused a great blow to Jiao Zi.
What is Fucheng? It is the place where the large warehouse of Nanyuan is located. Whether it is the military force or various defensive fortifications and logistical support, it is far beyond the reach of Jimeng Mountain.
But what is the result? Ji Shuai died in battle and his head became the enemy’s trophy.
Nearly half of the entire Fucheng garrison was killed or wounded, and the rest of the people evacuated the Nanyuan and dared not continue to fight with the barbarians.
In the south, the situation of Liang Hong was also constantly transmitted to Jimeng Mountain.
In Jiao Zi’s view, Liang Hong’s defeat was in these few days.
Although the army controlled by Liang Hong is similar to that of the Northern Territory, there is really no comparison between the two. As long as Liang Hong is delayed, failure is a matter of time.
While worrying about other things, Jiao Zi is more worried about himself.Self.
The barbarians kept harassing everywhere, just to tell Jiaozi that you can't leave. No matter which direction you evacuate, you will be besieged by the barbarian cavalry.
Infantry vs. cavalry, once you leave Jimeng Mountain, Jiaozi can almost foresee his fate.
What to do? If you don't leave, there will be no food supply. What will these nearly 2 million people eat? Sooner or later, something will happen.
"Marshal, we can't stay any longer. Prince Liang Hong has been blocked by the Zhenbei Army. While the attention of the North is not on us, we still have a chance to leave."
This is the general Jiaozi brought from the court.
"No, Marshal, once our army evacuates, the barbarians in front of us will have no scruples at all, and the South Court will face an unprecedented disaster."
This is the general of the South Court.
One side wants to leave and doesn't care about the lives of the people in the South Court, and the other side doesn't want to. Without the army here, with the characteristics of the barbarians, the South Court will probably become a purgatory on earth.
If that scene really happens, everyone present will become a historical sinner.
In fact, this is also the reason why Jiao Zi has been unable to make up his mind.
A famous general cherishes his reputation. If his order causes irreparable losses to the South Courtyard, his reputation will be completely ruined, and he will spend his whole life in infamy.
If he doesn't leave, there seems to be no solution if he stays, which makes Jiao Zi in a dilemma.
"Report to the Marshal, Eunuch Xi has arrived with the imperial edict."
Eunuch Xi is one of the favorites of the Emperor of Liang. Jiao Zi didn't expect that the Emperor would actually send him here.
"Please come in."
"You go down first."
Jiao Zi knew that Eunuch Xi might have important things to do on this trip, so he dismissed everyone and went to see Eunuch Xi alone.
Although Jiao Zi is majestic in front of others, in the eyes of these close ministers of the emperor, he is just so-so, especially now that the expedition has failed, and his status has dropped a lot.
Eunuch Xi, with a gloomy face, makes people shudder, as if he is a demon from the abyss of hell, which is creepy. The narrow and sharp eyes were as cold and ruthless as a venomous snake, revealing a sinister and cunning aura.
This kind of person is the one that generals like Jiao Zi are most reluctant to contact.
