Song Tianxiong finally relaxed. His tired and cracked body could no longer hold up. He fell to the ground and could no longer get up. He just lay on the ground panting. From the beginning of planning and commanding the entire division to form a formation to meet the enemy, he The string in his mind collapsed like a bow being bent with a full string, without any rest. Then the Luobi people launched a series of ferocious attacks that made him physically and mentally exhausted. At the critical moment, he personally went into battle with a strong bow and exhausted his whole body. He fired twenty arrows in a row with his internal power, killing more than ten middle- and high-level officers in Luo Bei. The shock of the last arrow made him vomit blood on the spot. At this moment, he was completely empty. The excessive physical and mental fatigue made him At this time, all he wanted to do was find a place to lie down and have a peaceful sleep. He no longer had the energy to say hello even when Mulige, who was assisting with the defense, arrived.
It was only at the last moment that Mulige personally took action to break through the Luobi people's tenacious blockade and complete the rendezvous with the Guards Division, which was already on the verge of collapse. For this, he himself paid the price of two arrow wounds. Fortunately, He reacted quickly and dodged in time. Both arrows only hurt his muscles and not his bones.
Kurdo looked at the scene in front of him with unsatisfied thoughts. He was quite regretful that he could not completely wipe out the enemy. The tenacity and fierceness of the infantry troops advancing from behind also made him see the extraordinary combat power of the Northwest Army's infantry. If he were If the partial division dispatched can hold back the enemy reinforcements for another half hour, he can really turn this Guards division that has cost him a heavy price into a Guards grave. It is a pity that he has failed to achieve his full success.
Seeing the enemy's reinforcements arriving one after another free from the entanglement of his blocking troops, Cuerdo knew that he had lost the chance to completely annihilate the enemy troops. He was not a stubborn person and naturally knew how to adapt to circumstances. He immediately ordered all ministries to gather the troops and retreat slowly. , Today's battle has caused the Tanghe people to suffer enough. Although the price paid by their side is not small, the Tanghe people have also suffered a great loss of vitality, especially the Guards Division, a unit directly under Li Wufeng. It can be said that it is completely Losing combat effectiveness, if it hadn't been for that final blow, this unit would have been cancelled.
There was no expression on Wadeya's fat face, and his slightly squinted eyes looked like he was sleeping. The atmosphere in the meeting hall seemed very dull, and he seemed to be unwilling to speak to break the current deadlock. He even had a habit of talking too much. The aggressive General Zhengnan Ule also turned his head to one side in a rare move, without any intention of speaking. But Tu Da knew what was behind this silence, and they were unwilling to mention this sensitive topic. They all knew that this was a recognized taboo, but Besang violated it without any scruples. Tu Da didn't know what The reason prompted Besang to do such irrational behavior. Could it be that he didn't know the powerful relationship between them? Tu Da had a bad feeling.
"Great Chief, this matter is not trivial. Do you think it would be more appropriate to convene a meeting of all nobles to discuss how to deal with it?" The person who broke the silence was Doni, who was in charge of internal affairs. Tu Da was overjoyed. If a meeting of all nobles could be convened, Pinjie Besang has been constantly offering connections among the nobles over the past few years, and he may still have a chance to overcome this difficulty.
"Lord Duny, this seems inappropriate. Besang's behavior has clearly violated the rules set by our ancestors. No matter what the circumstances, the general mobilization order of each ministry can only be issued by the chief or the meeting of all nobles. His behavior is undoubtedly a kind of rebellion. If he starts this way, I am afraid that no one in the clan will be able to restrain the tribes. This behavior must be severely punished without going through the noble assembly." The one who spoke out against it was the person in charge of the entire clan. Lord Botel, who deals with etiquette affairs, is a die-hard who firmly upholds the current norms and strongly opposes any changes. He is extremely hostile to any extraordinary behavior.
"Yes, the war is about to begin, and the Chidi people have already deployed troops at the border. If we allow this kind of disregard for the law, I am afraid that without the Chidi people coming to fight, we will have internal troubles! In my opinion, there is no such thing as If there is any further discussion needed, just order someone to escort Besang back to Barona as a warning to others." With an extremely inflammatory tone and a sharp voice, Tu Da knew without even looking that this was the person in charge of financial and trade affairs within the clan. Lord Baofa, a nobleman and an important confidant of the great chief, often reflected the opinions of the great chief. Tu Da was secretly surprised and thought, is the great chief really planning to take action on Besang
"Great Chief, my subordinates have an opinion that I don't know whether to take it seriously or not?" Tu Da didn't care much at this moment. Even if he goes against the wishes of the Great Chief, there is nothing he can do. Once Besang makes a mistake, I'm afraid that the whole clan will be destroyed again. No one can restrain the threat from the east. Tu Da guessed that there must be some special changes in the east, which made Besang willing to risk the world's disapproval to make such a move. He must help Besang, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. .
"Tell me." There was nothing unusual on Wadeya's face. He was as ordinary as usual, as if he didn't understand how important the issue was being discussed at the moment.
"I heard that General Besang has sent a request for comprehensive mobilization to the chief, and the chief has approved it. General Besang only issued the mobilization order a few days in advance. His behavior must have violated the ancestral system. Regulations, but the chief and everyone also know that General Besang has devoted himself to the safety of his clan for decades, and has always been loyal to the chief. He has never had any other ideas. There must be a reason for what he did this time, subordinates I thought that the matter should be investigated thoroughly before making a conclusion, especially at this critical moment. My subordinates suspected that General Besang had informed Li Wufeng of his intention to invade eastward, so he was forced to take this helpless move. "Tu Da did not dare to say that Besang had expressed concern in his previous letter that the targets of the northwest expansion would be against his own tribe. This kind of correspondence between military chiefs was a huge taboo, and instead of Besang had always been on good terms with him, and Tuda also knew that the chief had doubts about the relationship between him and Besang, especially after many talkative people continued to spread rumors to the chief. But today he didn't care much anymore. Even if he was suspected and hated again, he had to stand up.
"How presumptuous! Tu Da, this power of mobilizing various ministries has always been the exclusive right of the chief or the entire clan's noble assembly. How can it be so easily used as you said? If it is according to what you said, wouldn't it be the exclusive power of the ministers? You can mobilize the entire army under any pretense. Don't you know the danger? I think you have ulterior motives!" Botel was furious. He was not very fond of this general who came from the east. , and in the city of Barona, he had heard rumors many times that Tu Da and Besang had married a son and daughter, and that they were the most powerful family among the Luobi people. At this time, he heard that Tu Da replaced Besang. His words of defense made him even more suspicious of some shady activities between the two of them, so he scolded Tu Da unceremoniously.
"Yes, Tu Da, as a general who conquers the west, you should clearly understand the priorities of this kind of matter. Whether Besang has a problem or not, we don't have to make a conclusion now, but at least one thing is certain. It is no longer appropriate for Bessan to serve as the general to conquer the east. I suggest that Bessan should be deprived of his right to lead the army and sent back to Barona for review before making a final decision. As for General Tu's concerns, we can do it at the same time. Send one person to the Eastern Expedition to serve as the general and temporarily take charge of the overall affairs of the Eastern Expedition. I think this can also avoid other accidents." The speaker was the commander of the escort army, Gerile. He rarely spoke at such meetings, but he said Generally speaking, few people objected to his words. As soon as he said these words, Tu Da knew that although Besang's fate may not be finalized, if the east was really in a state of emergency, this would undoubtedly be an attempt to drain money from the bottom of the cauldron. Tu Da couldn't think of any way. One can replace Besang and take on the important task of riding the Eastern Front, unless he puts aside the Western Front.
"Great Chief, if there is nothing abnormal on the Eastern Front, General Gerile's words will naturally work. However, if the situation on the Eastern Front is not as peaceful as we imagined, changing generals on the battlefield is a taboo for military strategists. Please think twice, Great Chief." Tu Da was extremely anxious in his heart, but he did not dare to expose it too much, so as not to make people more suspicious. However, the matter was of great importance and he could not hide his uneasiness with his appearance, but some people saw it and his mood changed greatly.
"Okay, Gerile's words are very reasonable. I don't think Besang has any different intentions. It's just that the ancestral rules cannot be broken. Besang behaves badly. How can he set an example for other generals? Remove Besang first. Order him to return to Barona immediately and wait for the facts to be ascertained before making any comment. The post of General of the Eastern Conquest will be temporarily held by the Deputy General of the Guards, Topo, who will take office immediately." Wadeya concluded tiredly, and he sat down Gerile, who was sitting down, quietly exchanged a knowing glance with Ule, the general who conquered the south, but no one saw him.
When Tu Da returned to his home, he couldn't help sighing and his face was full of sorrow. It seemed that the chief had already thought of removing Besang from his military power. It was ridiculous that he thought that Besang was really demoted because of his excessive use of power. The general must also be on guard against him. If If the Chidi people hadn't pressed down with their troops, I'd be afraid that they would end up in the same fate. Thinking of this, Tu Da felt even more upset. He didn't know what the situation was like in the eastern part of the country. Besang had been dismissed. Natopo was just a relative among the women in the chief's harem, but he had climbed to such a high position in just a few years. It was hard to imagine. What kind of serious consequences would happen if he faced Li Wufeng? At this time, Tu Da felt sad. He could only pray that what Besang predicted was just an exaggerated guess. But Tu Da didn't know that when he prayed, thousands of people Inside and outside, war was already raging.
After standing outside the window and thinking for a long time, Tu Da finally made up his mind and ordered his confidant Ha Xian to be quietly summoned to make arrangements. Ha Xian looked shocked, but when he saw the coach's determination, he had no choice but to nod and leave.
