Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

"Ugh!"

Chu Xuanji sighed and said, "Are the soldiers and horses under Yan Yun really that powerful?"

Guo Xuzhi said sadly: "The soldiers and horses under Yan Yun's command are all elite, and the equipment they wear are all made of iron! Our archers are not enough to cause casualties to this army! How miserable... ...It’s so miserable! Our army has 35, and only a pitiful 5 are left! Zhao’s army is even worse, with an army of 70, and only 30 are left!”

"hiss……"

Everyone present was moved.

Even though they already knew that Zhao Jun suffered heavy casualties, they still couldn't help but feel a little sad when they heard it from Guo Xunzhi's mouth.

The two countries dispatched 105 million troops into the wilderness.

As a result, only 35 troops came out.

All others were killed!

Such a tragic record had never happened before.

and.

The Yan army only had about [-] soldiers and horses.

"Your Majesty...the veteran has thought deeply and feels that...his own abilities are limited. He wants to resign from his position as General of Hussars and return to his fields. I beg your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown!"

Guo Xunzhi knelt on the ground and said in tears.

Chu Xuanji looked ugly.

"His Majesty……"

Dong Aolai also stood up and said sadly: "Your Majesty... My health has been deteriorating recently, and I am afraid that I will not be able to serve as a general! I beg your Majesty to give permission!"

"boom……"

Chu Xuanji's head was confused.

Just forget it if you lose the battle.

Now you want to take off your armor and return to the fields, stay away from the government?

What to do with the lost troops and horses?

There is no second person in the DPRK who can serve as a general.

If both of them resigned, wouldn't it mean that the high-end generals of the Chu Empire would be severely absent?

Chu Xuanji frowned and did not rush to answer.

She is looking for a successor.

A country cannot live without a king.

The army cannot be without generals for a day.

This is absolutely no joke.

After Chu Xuanji thought for a while, she turned her attention to a young general in the field.

This general is very talented in military affairs.

Although he is young, he manages the army well, manages the army calmly, and has a very smart mind.

If it weren't for his lack of merit, Chu Xuanji would have long wanted to entrust him with important tasks.

and.

There were generals such as Dong Aolai and Guo Xuzhi in the court, so it was not easy for him to appoint young generals.

"In that case...the two old generals will rest for a few days! During these days, General Li Kunpeng will serve as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces! We will make detailed arrangements after the two old generals recover!" Chu Xuanji waved her hand. Arrangements were made.

Li Kunpeng is her cousin (son of her uncle). He is well versed in the art of commanding and running an army at a young age. He has studied military science for many years and is very talented in the military.

When his father was alive, he often kept Li Kunpeng by his side and cultivated him carefully.

Now is the chance.

Naturally, she wanted to appoint her cousin to lead the three armies.

When Li Kunpeng heard that his cousin appointed him as the Grand Marshal of the Army, his eyes suddenly showed ecstasy.

Ecstasy was ecstasy, but he did not drift away.

He hurriedly stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Kunpeng thanks your majesty! I will certainly live up to your majesty's expectations!"

Chu Xuanji nodded slightly.

Dong Aolai and Guo Xunzhi felt somewhat sad in their hearts when they heard Chu Xuanji's words.

Somewhat lost.

After being qualified as high-level generals of the Chu State for such a long time, Chu Xuanji resigned without any attempt to retain them, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

The two of them also knew that Chu Xuanji was disappointed in them!

After all, after two battles, Chu suffered millions of casualties.

With so many casualties, it can be considered that all the ten years of hard work accumulated by Chu State were wasted.

Chu Xuanji did not punish the two of them, which was considered to be the most benevolent thing!

After coming out of the palace, Dong Aolai and Guo Xuzhi came to the general's mansion.

The two had a long chat and spoke very intimately.

That night.

After Guo Xunzhi returned to the house, he hanged himself!

When Dong Aolai learned that Guo Xunzhi had committed suicide, he was also depressed and died of depression the next evening.

The deaths of the two people made the people of Chu lament.

Chu Xuanji didn't expect it at first, but she felt it was reasonable.

How can a general who has lost a battle have the dignity to live in this world?

........................

The news of Dong Aolai and Guo Xun's funeral soon spread to surrounding countries like wind.

The Zhao Empire.

Han Wuyang was defeated and returned to Zhaohuangcheng in disgrace, where he met Emperor Zhao Zhao Chouyin.

"Your Majesty... I am incompetent and I have failed Your Majesty... I have let Your Majesty down!" With tears streaming down his face, Han Wuyang met Zhao Chouyin alone in the palace.

Zhao Chouyin sighed and asked: "Could it be that...the soldiers and horses of the Yan Empire are really that powerful?"

Han Wuyang said sadly: "The soldiers and horses of the Great Yan Empire are not strong! The strongest ones are the soldiers and horses of Yan Yun! This is a troop far better than the Great Yan Tiger Roar Cavalry! They are all well-equipped, and all the members are burly men. All members are equipped with crossbows capable of firing continuously, and each of them can fight one against ten, or even one against a hundred! This army is highly mobile, defensive and offensive! Our Zhao State army and Chu State army are basically Everyone died in the charge of this cavalry! Your Majesty... I am incompetent!"

Zhao Chouyin asked again: "Do you think... Zhao's cavalry, the Killing Battalion, can be the opponent of this cavalry?"

Han Wuyang shook his head and said: "The killing battalion is indeed powerful, but it is on the same level as the Tiger Roar Cavalry! Although it is also highly mobile, its equipment is not at the same level as Yan Yun's troops! Once the two sides meet, the killing battalion will definitely Defeat! And...according to the old minister, Yan Yun’s troops and horses are all made of iron, even the arrows they shoot are made of iron! It’s too luxurious! It’s too luxurious!”

"Then you mean...our Zhao Empire has no chance of surviving when it encounters Yanyun's soldiers and horses?" Zhao Chouyin asked.

Han Wuyang was silent for a while and then said: "It's possible to survive...I'm afraid...it's so pitiful..."

"General Han thinks...how will the Zhao Empire face the upcoming crisis now?" Zhao Chouyin naturally asked about the lost wilderness pass of the Zhao Empire.

Han Wuyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Two ways!"

"Come on!"

"First: Send heavy troops to defend Blue Grass City and Green Leaf City. At the same time, strengthen the defenses of these two cities to guard against the sudden attack of the Yan Kingdom army!"

Lancao City is adjacent to Yanzhao Pass. The Yan State army must pass through Lancao City to fight out of Yanzhao Pass.

Luye City is adjacent to Manhuang Pass. The Yan State army broke out of Manhuang Pass and encountered Luye City for the first time.

and so.

These two cities were the first cities used by the Zhao Empire to defend against the invasion of Yan.

If these two cities were captured by Dayan, the Zhao Empire would be wide open.

After Han Wuyang said the first point, Zhao Chouyin fell into deep thought.

If I can’t beat him, can’t I still hide from him?

If it doesn't work, I will send troops to defend these two cities.

Zhao Chouyin nodded slightly and asked, "What about the second point?"
