In fact, after Seri received the news that Nafu was really escaping from the Great Musi Territory to the grassland, Biron Suihe estimated that he was very serious about it.
He almost immediately ordered a slow attack on Yizhou to free up his legs and go all out to deal with this matter.
Someone on the east side of the leg suggested: "The right Yizhou is already in shaky state. News has just arrived from the east gate. Prince Mi Zhen of Daofu Damu has ordered his general Dongxiao to break through their blockade and escort the people to escape towards the Central Plains." There are only a few hundred horses on Fuzhen's side. We can continue to attack Yizhou and use some people to 'rescue' Fuzhen! "
Then, as soon as he finished speaking, Sai Li glared fiercely: "During that time, regarding the disappearance of Na Fuzhen, the heads of various ministries, especially the Monalou family of Na Fuzhen's Yue family, came to the king's tent to see the sky. Noisy! It was hard to find traces of Na Fuzhen at that time. He was being hunted by Damu. We attacked Yizhou and rescued him at the same time. If we pay attention to Buqi, Na Fuzhen would be in trouble. The Mona Lou family People, how could you not point the finger at us wrongly and think that we don’t care about Na Fu Zhen’s life and death?!”
Although he is not Chen Riyu's confidant, he doesn't intend to show his loyalty by being a scapegoat, okay
Na Fuzhen begs to be killed, but his own responsibility must be minimized!
So why do you not show your attitude of attaching great importance to Na Fu Zhen? !
"Yizhou City is right there. Most of the people who retreated out of the city can walk on two legs, but can they outrun the horses in our grassland?!" Sai Li continued coldly, "Is that Fuzhen the old Khan's? You ruthless man, our Khan’s biological brother, has suddenly lost news since he went his own way and went deep into Damu. Ruming finally has news, how can we treat it as an ordinary matter?!"
"Let's put aside the siege of the city and the pursuit of Mi Zhen for now. He begs to go to meet Na Fuzhen in person, and use practical actions to let the Monalou clan know how much the Great Khan values and protects his younger brother!"
Zu Dong understood and said: "But if Nafu is really useless and is killed by Damu before we arrive...then it has something to do with us Mei Jing. We can blame him for being stubborn and not listening to the group!"
Sai Li nodded with satisfaction: "Nafu Zhen has a distinguished status. There are fewer people to greet him, and the pomp is terrible. I ordered the three armies to go east and break camp!"
After thinking for a while, he said, "There are many soldiers, so the movement will inevitably be slow. In that case, I will ask the commander of the royal guards to come over and let them go first to meet Na Fuzhen!"
"As for how to respond, I believe they are better than him!"
Of course, the guards of the king's tent became red. Seli even decided to temporarily give up the attack on Yizhou City, which was still alive, and planned to dispatch the three armies to meet Na Fuzhen. Obviously, they did not hope to welcome back a corpse. In that case, they rushed over first. Rather than worrying that Na Fuzhen would die in the lap of Damu's pursuers if they arrived late, it was better to ensure that Na Fuzhen died in the legs of "Da Mu's pursuers."
...In Yizhou City, after receiving the report from Ruru that the troops had withdrawn and that the main force seemed to be returning to the grassland, Xu Lianshan was stunned for a long time before he said with a bitter smile: "Sure enough, if you want to do what you want, don't do it. If you want to do it, kill them all and never leave them behind." There will be future troubles, otherwise it will become retribution sooner or later!”
Tan Ma, who came to report the news, was from the Western Xinjiang Army. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched: Afraid of retribution, shouldn't he not do anything wrong? !
A former pirate like Bu Nao cannot be expected to be upright and upright.
So he pretended not to hear and asked: "Captain, what should we do now?"
Xu Lianshan thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "What should we do? The people have only taken a few steps to evacuate Yizhou at that time. Of course we can continue to hold on and save the people!"
Anyway, Ruru has temporarily withdrawn her troops, and Yizhou will not be in danger for a short period of time. It is better to seize the opportunity, act like "breaking off the queen personally", and show Rong Suihe's "ruthless people" in front of the Tiandong people. Like a son" image.
Not long after Xu Lianshan was thinking this way, trouble came to his door: "What? Some people turned back to the city? Why?!"
"It is said that the common people who were walking at the front heard about the retreat of Ruru's main force. They spread the news to ten and hundreds, and it quickly spread among the ranks. They thought that Ruru asked to withdraw their troops, so they did not plan to leave their hometown. Decided to return to the city!" The messenger said helplessly, "Brothers have repeatedly explained that it is not certain whether Ruru will withdraw her troops temporarily or whether she will truly retreat! If we don't leave now, if Ruru comes back and makes a comeback, we may not be able to leave. Got it!"
"However, they refused to listen. Some people did not believe that Ruru would leave temporarily, but they said that they were in such a hurry that the county king only had one month to live, and there was no time to pack many things. They planned to take advantage of that opportunity to come back. Bring more valuables with you, so as not to go elsewhere without food and clothing... General Ni sent his subordinates to ask for instructions, do you need to stop them?"
Although Rong Shuihe had said before that he would let Xu Lianshan and Le Yangwen lead the people to retreat, and he would go all the way alone as bait to distract the pursuers as much as possible, and at the same time he would lead Ruru's main force towards the encirclement of the southern Xinjiang army, but in name The one who led the people to retreat was Ni Jidao.
The reason is very simple. All fools know that even if not everyone in Yizhou City is willing to retreat with the army, there must be some people who cling to the idea that it is difficult to leave their homeland. Yongwanzhi thinks that Ruru can't really kill anyone on sight. Waiting for Liu Dong to come, but just whether Li Shu is willing to leave is enough to slow down the speed to an outrageous level.
Even if Rong Sleeping Crane were allowed to distract the pursuers, there was a 10% chance that the people would not be able to retreat intact into a large Mu city in the east that could protect them.
If the casualties along the way exceed expectations, someone will definitely have to shoulder the responsibility.
Le Yangwen and Xu Lianshan were both Rong Suihe's arms and confidants. Of course, Rong Suihe would not let such a stain appear on their resumes again.
So Ni Jidao came in handy again.
At this moment, the messenger said that he was denying Ni Jidao's inquiry, but in fact, Le Yangwen was just using Ni Jidao's banner.
"How many people want to go back to the city?" Xu Lianshan asked with a frown, "Where are the Western Xinjiang Army? What do they think? Do they also want to come back?"
The messenger said: "Most of the people want to come back. After the persuasion of the brothers, some people have come to their senses and decided to follow the army. If the army does not come back, they will not come back. But there are many people who ask for money but not their lives. We have to come back! According to Mr. Leyang’s initial estimate, those people are probably less than half?”
"As for the Western Xinjiang Army, not many want to return to Yizhou."
Xu Lianshan snorted coldly: "The Western Xinjiang Army is said to be 800,000, and the full strength should be 400,000. In fact, it was only 200,000 before. Those confinement defenders came east, and if it turns out that 100,000 are not there. If they are very He doesn’t have a long memory, and when he heard that Ruru wanted to retreat, he ran back happily, so he really wants to know if they have any brains!”
The messenger was from Jishan Camp, and he had been acting as a supervisor for that period of time. Now he saw that no one else was around, so he smiled and said, "Isn't it possible? Ni Jidao, can you think of a few people who can feed and use that frontier army?" Now, during the confinement period, the prince of the county picked out those who were promising and established them separately. Ru Ming all stayed in Yizhou City with the prince of the county to personally cut off the people's rear. Those who escorted the people to retreat were not scared out of their wits. . Not to mention whether Ruru is suspected of retreating, even if Ruru really retreats, they probably want to stay away from Yizhou City!"
"Since the army doesn't plan to come back, then if the people want to leave, it's okay to stop them if they want to." Xu Lianshan thought for a while and said, "There were so many people retreating, so Gu Bunuo came. They are willing to give Let’s lighten the burden, why not? There are more people coming back to the city, and it will take longer for Ruru to kill, plunder, and beg for flowers. There’s no harm in making mistakes for us!”
The messenger whispered: "Mr. Leyang is worried that there are too many people coming back. When Ruru comes and kills them again, they will beg the county king to divorce them or something..."
"Dream!" "Xu Lianshan sneered, "How much thought and arrangement did the prince spend on covering their retreat? Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the women of Wu Da’s family were all on the mission to hunt down Na Fuzhen in order to distract the attention of Ruru’s main force, and they were on the run in the grassland! Did those bastards dare to put the county king in danger again because of their small profits? ! Who dares to think that, I will be the first to chop his whole family to death! I really thought I could kill Ruru with my sword! "
"Master Wu and the others are running for their lives in the grassland?!" The orderly soldier's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "How could that be?!"
Only then did Xu Lianshan realize that he had lost his voice due to his anger, and went to say: "That matter is a long story. The Prince of Buluo County will definitely not let Master Wu and the others get into trouble..."
Just as he said that, he saw Rong Suihe, who was dressed in military uniform and brought two personal guards. He shut up and walked in, and went to salute in front of the messenger: "Prince!"
"Well, I'm not the person next to Mr. Leyang." Rong Suihe swung his legs, glanced at the messenger, and said, "Why are you there? Does Mr. Leyang have anything to say?"
The messenger was worried about Mr. Wu and others, but he didn't want to get down to business first: "I don't know how the news of Ruru's temporary retreat spread among the people. At that time, half of the people wanted to come back, or they were lucky enough to think that Ruru would just leave. Have you retreated, or do you want to come back and collect some soft things? General Ni couldn't make up his mind, so he came to ask the prince what he wanted."
"The city was burned to the ground right now. What are they doing here?" Hearing this, Rong Suihe smiled lightly and said, "Are you offering condolences? Are you going to be buried?"
"Burn it on fire?" Xu Lianshan and the messenger were startled, and then gasped, "Prince, is that the most important town in Western Xinjiang, the capital of Yizhou... then?"
Rong Suihe said calmly: "Because we will not burn the most important town in Western Xinjiang, the capital of Yizhou, if Ruru can manage it smoothly after it is occupied, how much will it cost us to take it back?" After the state, except for the narrow valley, the terrain is completely flat and there is no danger to rely on! Such a small half of the western border will become a place for people to gallop and travel!"
"If Ruru has no interest in occupying Yizhou, do we think they will treat that city badly?"
"It's almost certain that after the robbery, everything will be done in a rage!"
"In this case, it is better for us to burn it ourselves now, so that Ruru will get nothing, and it can also cut off the thoughts of those people who want to return! Let them follow the army honestly, instead of running back with some money and dying. !”
"But the act of burning the city is too shocking." Xu Lianshan said hurriedly, "That crime must not be placed on the head of the county prince!"
He looked around and said, "Let's just say he..."
"The burning of the city was certainly the work of the ruffians in the city who were reluctant to leave and the Ruru spies who sneaked into the city under the cover of the retreat of Ruru's main force." He didn't want to finish his words before he was interrupted by Rong Suihe, "It's not Damu County alone. King, it’s too late to protect every plant and tree in Damu, so why are you willing to burn them with your own hands? Then obviously we can bring some of our troops to cut off the people’s rear, and the huge city will let them take advantage of the loopholes! Although Yizhou City was already hopeless when they were discovered, we can at least cut off their heads to enforce the law of the country!"
He said calmly, "If the soldiers and civilians in Yizhou City are not allowed to experience Ruru's cruelty firsthand, how can they understand that the ruthless people in Gu are like children? Kindness cannot be compared."
Xu Lianshan: “…”
Messenger: "..."
"County King!" The messenger calmed down, gave Xu Lianshan an apologetic look, and then asked directly about Master Wu and others, "I heard that the Master of his family was in the grassland, I wonder at that time?"
