The strongest Marquis in history

"The people of Qi State are still as fierce as ever. These people in Qi State are as fierce as tigers, and they can't bear it anymore."

"Retreat, if you don't retreat, you will die in a foreign land."

The Xianbei soldiers on the battlefield began to shout, and the shouts came out one after another. There were countless Xianbei soldiers fleeing, and batches of people surrendered.It's just that even if the Xianbei surrendered, the soldiers under Nie Feng's command did not surrender, and they all swung their knives to kill them.

So much so that at this moment, all the Xianbei people began to collapse, fleeing in panic, and no one wanted to fight anymore.

This scene was quickly sent back to the rear. When Tuoba Shan saw this scene, his heart sank completely.

He was a little confused.

lost!

The overall situation has been set, and it is impossible to change anything.

You must know that he had great hopes for this battle, and even for this battle, the entire army of Xianbei was mainly concentrated on him, but now he has lost.

How would he explain to Tuoba Chen?

How would he explain to Tuoba Wuji?

"Clang!"

Tuoba Shan suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath again, gritted his teeth and said: "The defeat in this battle is all my responsibility. What face do I have now, I will go to see the king again. What face do I have now, face To all Xianbei warriors. Today, the only option is to die here."

As he was talking, he was about to strike, but when he was about to strike, a person bumped into Tuoba Shan, and then quickly grabbed Tuoba Shan's saber, saying: "General Tuoba, this battle is over!" The defeat is not your responsibility. The reason for the defeat in this battle lies with me, but also with all of us. It is also because Qi's army is too strong to resist. The defeat of this battle is not the fault of the generals. sin!"

When the rest of the people heard it, they all spoke to persuade.

"General Tuoba, this battle is not your responsibility, it's because the Qi State is too strong. We obviously want to win and can kill them, but these Qi people are too resilient."

"If the general slays himself now, he will be loyal to the king. But has the general thought that once you slay yourself, all the soldiers will be defeated again."

"General, please think twice!"

"General, the most urgent task now is not to commit suicide. What we need to consider now is to withdraw our troops immediately, try to preserve our army as much as possible, and return to Danhan Mountain King Court as soon as possible. Please make a decision."

The leaders of the Xianbei tribes one after another spoke to persuade them.

They don't want Tuoba Shan to commit suicide.

Regardless of whether Tuoba Shan's suicidal gesture is true or not, they have no choice but to try their best to persuade Tuoba Shan.After all, there is Tuoba Mountain, so after going back, at least one person will take the blame.

"Ugh……"

Tuoba Shan couldn't help sighing.

He felt extremely sorry.

"That's all, what you said makes sense. Our priority now is to preserve our strength and send orders to withdraw our troops."

Tuoba Shan took advantage of the situation and ordered to retreat.

As soon as the people of the various tribes heard this, they quickly conveyed the order, and for a while, the order to withdraw the troops sounded continuously.As the orders were conveyed layer by layer, the soldiers of the Xianbei tribes no longer resisted, turned around and fled as if flying.

On this occasion, we can only withdraw our troops.

A large number of Xianbei soldiers fled, especially on this grassland. As the Xianbei began to evacuate, they quickly dispersed and escaped from the battlefield.After all, such a place is not like a fight in Qi State, the official roads are limited, and even when the soldiers retreat, they will be crowded with each other because of the retreat.

When retreating on the grassland, people all fled in all directions. In a short period of time, a large number of Xianbei soldiers retreated.

Even if Nie Feng ordered the pursuit, it was not easy to pursue on the vast grassland. After chasing for a while, everyone retreated separately, and then all returned to the Asuka Department to start counting the results.

It took a full hour and a half to count the results of this battle.

Lin Yuze came to Nie Feng's side, he was a little excited, and said: "General, the results of this battle have been counted. Including the Xianbei people who Gu Tonghu killed before, the Xianbei soldiers we killed in this battle The number of people, as many as [-], can be said to be countless."

Nie Feng asked, "What about our casualties?"

Lin Yuze looked a little solemn, and said: "In this fierce battle, more than 4 soldiers on our side died in the battle, and the loss is also huge. We still have more than [-] people. Fortunately, this battle In the end, even if Xianbei escaped countless people, Xianbei's morale has been broken, and then, it is completely possible to drive straight in."

Nie Feng thought for a while, and said: "Old Lin, what I'm thinking about is also to drive straight into the Danhan Mountain of the Xianbei King's Court. Next, we will continue to implement the strategy of supporting war with war, and continue to slaughter the tribes of Xianbei along the way and rob food. .In addition, His Majesty is on his way to Youzhou, we sent a letter to His Majesty to inform His Majesty of our intentions, and ask His Majesty to hold the line from the rear. Even if food, ammunition and weapons start to run short in the later stage, we can quickly replenish them."

Lin Yuze said, "I agree!"

Nie Feng said: "Since you agree, Lao Lin, it's decided. Let's rest here and make adjustments first. Next, we will kill the Xianbei royal court and destroy Danhan Mountain."

Lin Yuze said, "I'll make arrangements now."

Nie Feng said: "You arrange it. I will go to inspect and comfort the injured soldiers. After this battle, we have demonstrated the prestige of our country Qi and the demeanor of our Youzhou war zone. The soldiers are worthy of commendation."

Lin Yuze and Nie Feng were busy respectively, and the soldiers who returned to the rear to report the news had already rode back as fast as they could.

Chapter 848

Youzhou, Guangyang County.

The army led by Wang Qi has quickly arrived in Youzhou, crossed Zhuo County, and entered the territory of Ji County in Guangyang County.

Up to now, Wang Qi has already intervened in the Youzhou battlefield.

When Wang Qi entered Youzhou, he had already received news that Nie Feng and Lin Yuze led troops to fight against the Xianbei army.Wang Qi agreed with Nie Feng's arrangement.

Why should the army of Qi be afraid of Xianbei?

How could the army of the Qi State be intimidated by these barbarians.

Especially the soldiers in the Youzhou war zone under Nie Feng's command, they fought with Wang Qi in many places, and they were soldiers with sufficient experience.So if Nie Feng was afraid of the Xianbei army, Wang Qi would be dissatisfied.

What Wang Qi has to do now is to follow Nie Feng's army closely, support Nie Feng on the one hand, and help Nie Feng on the other hand, completely destroy Xianbei, and then deal with Goguryeo in the east along the way.

This is Wang Qi's current plan.

When Wang Qi's army arrived at the county seat of Ji County, it was already mid-June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.But for the soldiers, they are used to it. As long as there is no problem with the supplies in the army, the soldiers can continue on their way.

The army temporarily stopped to replenish food, supplies, etc. in Ji County, while Wang Qi, Zhou Zishan, Zhuge Feng, and Xiao Qingzhi leaned against a big tree to rest temporarily.

The army replenished food and grass, etc., but never entered the city.

After all, it is not too long to rest and recuperate. As long as the food and supplies are replenished, the army will set off immediately.

So stationed outside the city.

Wang Qi looked at Zhou Zishan and the others, and said: "The next battle, against Xianbei, I think this battle can be done once and for all. Before Xianbei surrendered, it was because we were unable to wipe out Xianbei completely at one go. After all, the strength at that time Limited, now I think Xianbei can be destroyed. The grasslands in the north are completely included in the territory of Qi State."

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, at this point, it is actually not very difficult to wipe out Xianbei. The biggest problem now is how to manage this area."

Wang Qidao: "Zi Shan, tell me what you think about it?"

Zhou Zishan said: "When it comes to Xianbei, I have already thought about it. I have some ideas along the way. So now, it may be immature to explain it to Your Majesty. Please don't blame Your Majesty."

Wang Qi flicked his sleeve and said: "Now it's just a discussion, what's wrong with talking about it. Tell me, what do you think?"

Zhou Zishan said: "Here in Xianbei, in fact, in the past dynasties, Xianbei was almost destroyed. Of course, the number of times Xianbei became a vassal is also countless. Pushing forward, before Xianbei, there were other barbarians."

"Because of the special situation on the grassland, Xianbei has been created here. Although there are settlements, most of them live by water and grass, and there are still more herds."

"Now that Xianbei is destroyed, if it is not dealt with properly, other barbarian tribes will rise in the future. Perhaps it will be replaced by the Murong tribe of Xianbei, or the Yuwen tribe of Xianbei, or even evolve into other tribes and become another kind of ethnic group."

"Anyway, they're still in the same situation."

"So if we don't completely solve this problem, we will destroy Xianbei only temporarily. If we want to destroy Xianbei in a long-term and stable way, we must change the life structure of Xianbei, so that people here can change their lives and no longer be nomads. "

"As long as they stop being nomadic and start to settle down, it's easy to manage."

"Why are the nomads in the past dynasties difficult to manage. Even in this area in the north of Youzhou, there is actually a settlement but it is not easy to manage. It is because they have been wandering around, making it difficult to manage and domesticate."

Zhou Zishan talks eloquently now.

In his pair of eyes, there is a light of wisdom, and he has the wisdom to see through the world.

Wang Qi looked at Zhou Zishan who was swaying freely, and he felt a feeling in his heart, as if Zhou Zishan had also traveled here.It's just that, just think about it.

Everything about Zhou Zishan is what Zhou Zishan sees and thinks. It is because of his hard work that these discoveries are made.

This is the talent that the Qi State should rely on.

Zhou Zishan swayed freely, and continued: "Your Majesty, I believe that Xianbei needs to be completely changed. What is the only way? It is to completely let the Xianbei people settle down."

"It used to be Xianbei, because life was not easy, and it was not easy to grow food. But now, we can plant potatoes, corn, wheat, etc. on a large scale, so that everyone is forced to settle down."

"Compared to the vast grassland where the Xiongnu lived, the situation on the Xiongnu grassland is more complicated. Here in Liaodong, it is a bit bitter and cold, but it is easier to live in. Of course, even the Xiongnu can settle in the same way."

"Nomads, after all, are a minority. We must change the situation of the majority of nomads."

"In short, settlement is the most important thing."

"As long as the settlement begins, the threat of the Huns and Xianbei will no longer exist. Of course, this problem cannot be completed overnight. Even in my opinion, this problem is more complicated than imperial examinations and military reforms." difficult."

"Because there are too many problems related to the people's livelihood and folk customs involved. However, I believe that even if it is difficult, you should face it. This is a major event to bring peace to all generations."

After listening to it, Wang Qi praised: "The words of the military adviser are like the morning bell and the evening drum. They are very well said."

Zhuge Feng was also completely convinced.

Speaking of Zhuge Feng, he is also a wise man. He was a counselor next to Wang Qi in the early years, and then he became Minister of the Ministry of War of Qi State, in charge of the Ministry of War of Qi State, and now he is the head of the General Staff Department, in charge of the entire army, with great power.

It is true that Zhou Zishan carried out various things such as the imperial examination and military reform, Zhuge Feng just admired it.However, Zhuge Feng completely obeyed Zhou Zishan's suggestion to the Xianbei and the Huns.

This is something that others dare not think of.

Here at Zhuge Feng, at least he doesn't have such thoughts, and he doesn't even think about it at all.

Even the imperial examinations are the same.

Zhuge Feng said solemnly: "About Minister Zhou's suggestion, I think it is feasible. Cultivate one's self, regulate one's family, rule the country and bring peace to the world. Although the world is said to be unified today, the border problem has always existed."

"So now, taking advantage of our momentum, we will solve the border troubles in one go."

"As long as this matter is resolved, His Majesty's achievements will far exceed those of the kings of all dynasties. Therefore, I think it should be implemented. This time, let's settle the matter."

Zhuge Feng also hopes to accomplish this.

After all, he was also in it, and felt even more honored.

Xiao Qingzhi echoed: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about these changes. But I also know that if this matter is really completed, it will have immeasurable benefits."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Zishan's suggestion is excellent, and I agree with it. After the Xianbei people are taken down next, we will implement it like this. However, when it comes to the area where Xianbei is located, it is not suitable as a county. After all, the area It’s so vast, it’s possible to build another state.”

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty is wise, you can establish another state. Even after Xianbei is destroyed this time, Goguryeo in the northeast will also be included in our Qi State, and prefectures and counties will also be established to strengthen local control."

"Otherwise, simply accepting the other party's claim as a vassal is to allow the other party to exist all the time."

"In the early days of the dynasty, when the national power was prosperous, these small countries that claimed to be vassals naturally did not dare to take any action. But when the national power began to weaken, everything was different, and many people would jump out to rebel."

"So now, we still have to take this opportunity to flatten Goguryeo in one go, completely solve the problem of Goguryeo, and not leave any problems for His Majesty's descendants."

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Wang Qidao: "According to Zishan, the selection of candidates can be shelved for the time being, and there is still enough time to think about it."

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came to Wang Qi's side and reported, "Your Majesty, a sentry sent by General Nie is here to see you."

Wang Qi said: "Bring it here."

The soldiers went to deliver the order, and not long after, they saw the scout sent by Nie Feng approaching.After the sentry station was settled, he took out the letter and said: "Your Majesty, General Nie defeated the Xianbei army on the front line. I have sent back the battle report. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Wang Qi took the letter and quickly browsed it.After reading the contents of the letter, he smiled and said: "Nie Feng sent back news that more than [-] Xianbei troops were wiped out with [-] people, and more than [-] people were beheaded. The rest of the Xianbei people have fled. .”

"Now Nie Feng is leading an army, going straight to the Danhan Mountain of the Xianbei King's Court, and wants to take Xianbei directly."

"He sent a letter, on the one hand, to say the next arrangement, and on the other hand, he did not arrange logistical supplies. He used war to support war, and the weapons were also used in a war of attrition. If they were exhausted, they would not be replenished. Let us be the back of the army. Give him the rear, to prevent him from getting lost in battle."

"However, according to Nie Feng's letter, he currently has enough ammunition. He is confident that he can take down Danhan Mountain."

Wang Qidao: "Now we have taken the initiative. Xianbei will be destroyed soon."

Zhou Zishan said: "General Nie won a complete victory on the front line, and the next battle will be simple. The Xianbei army is no longer to be feared. In my opinion, we can make arrangements for both the Huns and Goguryeo."

"How to arrange?"

Wang Qi asked with a smile.

Zhou Zishan said: "Whether it is Goguryeo, or the Xiongnu, or even Xianbei, it is actually nothing to worry about until now. So now, we will let public opinion go first."

"For Goguryeo and the Xiongnu, on the one hand, it is propagandizing that His Majesty has destroyed the Haixi Empire army and captured all the Haixi Empire personnel. On the other hand, it is propagating that the Xianbei army has been defeated by Nie Feng."

"As soon as the two news came out, if the Xiongnu and Goguryeo still had ideas, they would collapse immediately. For Xianbei, the matter is simple. We only need to publicize the Hercynian Empire."

"In short, the war in the north should be completely settled down in a short period of time."

Zhou Zishan was very happy.
