Chapter 386 A Sudden Rebellion
Chapter 386 A Sudden Rebellion
After figuring out the whole thing, the ins and outs, Luo Jia felt only regret for a moment.
I knew this, why should I be at the beginning?
If I had dispersed the army earlier and surrounded all the border towns when facing Song Yuanxunzhang, how could this outcome have happened?
Thinking of this, Luo Jia's face was bitter, and he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
He was defeated after all.
But this time, my defeat was not unfair!
Song Yuan is indeed cunning.
Comparing the two, I am still one step behind.
It was this tiny gap that led to the final failure!
……
Just as Luo Jia was reflecting on his own shortcomings, his expression was gloomy.
Murong Lie and Situ Jing have led their troops and successfully broken through to the shallows.
The previous war was extremely brutal. Although it eventually achieved the expected results, the number of casualties far exceeded expectations!
At the beginning, the two men had more than 30,000 soldiers under their command.
However, after statistics, it was found that the number of people who crossed the river alive was no more than 25,000.
A collision lasting only half an hour caused such huge casualties.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most severe casualties Song Yuan has suffered since he took command of the troops!
However, compared with everyone's gains, these losses may not be unbearable.
After all, the number of casualties among the barbarians was far greater than that of the Qin Dynasty!
More importantly, the army was able to completely escape from the predicament and return to the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Fighting out of the encirclement and forging a way to survive is definitely a huge victory compared to the previous despair!
Situ Jing, with a serious look on her face, came to Huo Jianchuan first.
This invincible general had previously led a thousand men, fearless of death, which caused chaos in the camp.
In the fierce battle, Huo Jianchuan and his subordinates suffered heavy losses, and even he himself was covered in wounds.
Especially the two arrows that pierced through the armor from the back. If he had not defended himself in advance, these two arrows alone would have taken Huo Jianchuan's life.
Seeing Commander Huo's ferocious expression, Situ Jing asked with some concern, "How are you now? Can you still move?"
Hearing this, Huo Jianchuan straightened his back immediately: "Don't worry, Princess, it's just a minor injury. From what you said, could it be that the prince has other orders?"
Faced with Huo Jianchuan's doubts, Situ Jing nodded calmly, and then handed a secret letter to the other party.
"This letter was given to me by Song Yuan when we parted ways. Take two or three people with you now and escort this secret letter to Mohai City!"
"Hurry up and notify the garrison there. Be sure to prepare for the response immediately. As for this letter, give it to Zhou Shen, who is in charge of defending the city!"
Upon realizing the source of this order, Huo Jianchuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Thinking of Song Yuan’s previous plan, he quickly understood.
The arrangement of this matter may very well be related to whether Song Yuan's men can return smoothly in the future!
In order to prevent accidents from happening, Huo Jianchuan had no time to rest.
Without saying a word, he immediately led his personal guards, mounted his horse, and headed straight for Mohai City!
Situ Jing stood there and watched Huo Jianchuan leave.
Then he returned to the camp, with a gloomy face, and found Murong Lie first.
"General Murong, please bring a few people with me to Zhenbei City!"
"Princess, from what you said, are you planning to capture General Wei?" Murong Lie raised his eyebrows and instantly understood what Situ Jing meant.
Situ Jing nodded, a frost covering her face. "That's right. If it weren't for this guy's betrayal, how could we have endured such a loss?"
"I must capture him and execute him on the spot to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
This time, the Qin Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and everyone felt like they had walked through the gates of hell.
Such a loss alone is absolutely difficult to make up for.
The instigator of all this is General Wei. No matter what, he cannot be allowed to go unpunished!
"But Princess... just a few people wouldn't be enough, right? Can we capture General Wei?"
"The more we go, the bigger the target becomes, and it's easier to arouse the other party's vigilance!"
Situ Jing's face darkened as he nodded and analyzed, "When I came here, Song Yuan warned me that General Wei might still be hoping for the best after doing this!"
"If we go with more people, he'll inevitably panic and start wondering if he's been seen through."
"If there are only a few of us, it would be easier to gain his trust by claiming to be asking for help. Then, as long as we can meet him, we will be able to capture him with our abilities!"
"If I'm not mistaken, Wei Wushuang must be in the camp ahead. If we can detain him, we'll have his brother as leverage. Even General Wei will be forced to surrender!"
"But Princess, your injury..." Murong Lie nodded repeatedly after hearing the last sentence, and a bit of worry appeared in his eyes as he looked at Situ Jing's forearm.
During the previous breakout, Situ Jing fought against someone and his arm was slightly injured.
Facing Murong Lie's worried gaze, Situ Jing waved her hand lightly: "This minor injury is not a big deal. The most important thing is to capture the two Wei brothers first!"
Today, General Wei is in Zhenbei City, and in the eyes of everyone around him, he still looks loyal.
There are also many people who obey this guy's orders.
If he really intended to rebel, the entire border might be plunged into chaos.
Only by capturing it first can we avoid disaster.
However, as the backbone of the entire team, the two of them still had a lot of things to take care of before leaving.
The first thing to do is to send someone to notify Zhenbei Pass as soon as possible.
As long as Zhenbei Pass is not in chaos, the chaos on the border can be controlled easily, and General Wei will not have to borrow manpower from Zhenbei Pass, thus causing greater losses.
But just when the two of them came to the team with serious faces.
The few people who had seemed insignificant before suddenly stood up the moment they saw Situ Jing.
This person was none other than the imperial guard who had come to announce the imperial decree. At that time, the barbarians surrounded them and bound them inside the Sanbian City.
Logically speaking, these imperial guards received help from Song Yuan, otherwise it is hard to say whether they could survive.
Not to mention repaying a favor, at least Song Yuan's wife should be treated with courtesy.
But no one expected that the first person would raise the crossbow in his hand and aim at Situ Jing in full view of everyone.
He even shouted loudly at this moment!
"Princess, don't move!"
"Come back to the Imperial City with me, maybe I can give you a chance to live!"
