Chapter 620

The ultimate goal of Eastern Chagatai Khan is to annex the countries of the Western Regions, not to invade Ming Dynasty.The enemy army chose to take the initiative to attack at the beginning, just because they were afraid that Ming's army would invade East Chagatai Khan.Now that the army is retreating, I am afraid there are also factors of helplessness.

Li Quren was excited, and was the first to express his opinion: "Since the enemy has retreated, we just took advantage of the victory to pursue and caught him off guard!"

Zhang Fu shook his head: "Although the enemy is retreating, they are very likely to be prepared to deal with it. If they lay an ambush along the way, it will make us suffer instead!"

Chen Feng remained silent, and now the two voices are very loud, almost half of them want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and half of them want to retreat.

Whether it is the Wulin army or the Ming army, everyone is not monolithic.

A person like Long Xiangtian, who bears a deep hatred, can't wait to slaughter the reincarnation gate and Dongchahetai Khan.Among the Ming army, there are also some radicals and people who want to make military achievements. They all want to kill the enemy and increase their ranks.

This group of people accounted for half, and the other half conservatively believed that retreat was the best choice.

Everyone was arguing. Zhang Fu, the commander, could suppress the army, but he could not influence the martial arts army.

Taking advantage of everyone's discussion, Zhang Fu pulled Chen Feng aside.

"My son-in-law, it's definitely not a good thing for the army to go deep into the enemy's country. This time we were originally trying to stop the enemy's attack, and now we have to travel a long distance to pursue it. Neither the logistics nor the state of the soldiers can meet the requirements. And the pursuit The enemy has too many variables, it is safer for us to retreat."

Chen Feng nodded in agreement: "Master Zhang's words are very reasonable, but those who advocate pursuit may not all be wrong. I have been thinking, is there any compromise."

"A compromise?" Zhang Fu was quite curious after hearing the new opinion.

Chen Feng didn't say it clearly, but pulled Zhang Fu back in front of the crowd, and then said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, some of you want to pursue, and some of you want to retreat. How about that, some of us pursue, and others want to retreat." Some people stand by and wait for orders, everyone said it’s okay?”

Everyone fell silent, and a general who advocated retreat asked: "You let us stand by on the spot. If the pursuers are in danger, should we save them or not?"

"Isn't it very simple, if you can save it, save it, if you can't save it, then give up, you will have time to retreat!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

War is nothing more than two outcomes, one wins and the other loses.Let some people go after the enemy first. These people decide to go after them themselves, and they can't blame others when they encounter danger.If the enemy is not in ambush and the situation is favorable to oneself, then the army on standby can join in the pursuit.

It may seem like a cold-blooded proposal, but it is acceptable to those on both sides of the argument.

Li Quren was the first to agree: "Shaoxia Chen is right, those who want to pursue will go after them, and those who stay behind will stand by. I wonder if Shaoxia Chen wants to join the pursuit team, or stay here and wait for orders?"

Chen Feng said without hesitation: "I will pursue with everyone."

Of course he wanted to completely wipe out the Samsara Sect. Now that there were not many remnants of the Samsara Sect, it was the best time to eradicate it.This time, even if he couldn't defeat the enemy in the pursuit, Chen Feng thought that he could retreat completely, but he couldn't take care of other people at that time.

Everyone agreed, and the next step was to quickly organize the pursuit and standby teams.

The disciples of Tianlong School, Huashan School, Emei School, Kunlun School, Kongtong School, Cangyun School, Tangmen School, and Xuanyin Pavilion are all weak and need to rest.Even if they want to pursue, they can only stay and stand by.They are not slow to recover. When the pursuit troops need it, they will probably recover and can respond at any time.

The rest of the major factions will definitely join the pursuit team, and the Ming army has also divided up an army of 25. Zhang Fu is not at ease, and is ready to lead the army to command the pursuit.

Originally, the matter was settled like this, but when the army was about to set off, an imperial edict to expedite the eight hundred miles descended from the sky.

The person who came to pass the decree was not an ordinary person, but Huang Yan, the Duke of Dongchang.He came in person, which shows the importance of this imperial decree.

Zhang Fu hurriedly knelt down to listen to the decree, all the soldiers knelt down, only those from the martial arts army did not kowtow.

Huang Yan didn't care either, he read out the imperial decree carefully, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple, that is, Eastern Chagatai Khan has signed a century-old peace agreement with the Ming Dynasty, asking Zhang Fu to disband the troops in various garrison posts, leaving only the border troops, and then return to the court with the remaining Forbidden Army squadrons.

"When did it happen? We are still fighting on the front line, why did the imperial court sign a peace contract?" Chen Feng couldn't believe it.

Huang Yan rolled up the imperial decree and handed it to Zhang Fu, then cast a cold glance at Chen Feng: "This is the result of discussions between the emperor and the ministers, how can you let me dictate!"

The decree has been issued, and no one can change it.Even if you want to change it, you have to go back to the capital and talk to the emperor!
Zhang Fu stood up tremblingly, he was also a little unwilling: "Mr. Huang, I don't know what conditions Dongchahetai Khan offered, why did the emperor agree?"

Huang Yan was quite respectful to Zhang Fu, and immediately replied: "The British government doesn't know. Now we are fighting on the third front in the Ming Dynasty, and the national treasury is huge. The war in the north and southwest has basically come to an end, and all the enemies have been defeated, but only the war in the west It's still far away, and the countries in the Western Regions are no different than other small countries, peaceful coexistence is definitely the best choice."

"But what if the East Chagatai Khan annexed other countries in the Western Regions, tore up the agreement and gathered millions of troops to attack my Ming Dynasty, what should we do?" Zhang Fu said, his fists clenched tightly. Tight.

Huang Yan said with a smile: "The British public has worried too much. The prerequisite for the imperial court to agree to the peace agreement is that the Eastern Chagatai Khan cannot invade other countries. At that time, the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khan will strengthen ties and send envoys to stay there for a long time. If so. The Eastern Chagatai Khan invades other countries, and the Ming Dynasty can lead the army to march west!"

"Since we have to lead the army to the west at that time, why not eliminate hidden dangers now?" Zhang Fu still had difficulty understanding the court's decision.

Huang Yan's complexion began to turn pale, and he said indifferently: "My lord, I have already said it just now. The court has been fighting on multiple fronts, and now it is overwhelmed. The team is so exhausted at the front line, even if they can win the battle, but the result is against the court. What are the benefits? The army suffered heavy casualties, the court was unable to make ends meet, and the people complained a lot, which may cause a civil uprising!"

This is a bit heavy to say, but these are indeed the court's considerations.

Huang Yan looked decadent, even if he returned to Beijing now, he might not be able to move the court...
