Chapter 1997 Dilemma

The news of the war on the Eastern Front was finally clearly spread to Wuping Prefecture City.

After the Qin army was cut off its logistics, it could not continue to support it. After the news of the Yi barbarians besieging Wuping Prefecture City reached the front line, the Yi barbarian cavalry who were incorporated into the army immediately launched a mutiny.

Fortunately, Wenpu made arrangements in advance, not only dispersed the Yi barbarians and cut them into several small groups, but also sent a large number of Yi barbarians into Yanshan to resist the Liaodong army.

The Yi barbarians were good at cavalry and were not suitable for mountain warfare. Although they raised objections, the military orders were as high as mountains, but the Yi barbarians did not dare to disobey. Thousands of Yi barbarian soldiers were sent to various important places in Yanshan, while Wenpu quietly withdrew the Qin army deployed in Yanshan and led them to the Yi barbarian soldiers.

But Wenpu knew very well that if all the Yi barbarians were suddenly sent to the front line, no matter how stupid the Yi barbarians were, they would think that things were strange, so they could only send to the front line one by one.

This method, which is like adding fuel, has a great effect. However, although the Yi barbarians did not experience any turmoil, they were quite dissatisfied.

Originally used as a cavalry, he eventually fought to the death with the Liaodong cavalry, but suddenly abandoned his strengths and made his weaknesses. Many barbarian cavalry had to complain a few words.

Fortunately, Wenpu was skillful in his methods and only said that the Yi barbarian soldiers were brave and good at fighting. They were the main force of the Qin army. They praised them greatly and made a promise of reward, but the Yi barbarians also abandoned their horses and entered the mountain.

Although the Yi Barbarians were not good at mountain warfare, they were really brave on the battlefield. The Liaodong Army attacked every stronghold in Yanshan with all their might, while the Yi Barbarians fought to the death to stop them, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Wenpu's original plan was to use the art of adding fuel to fill all the Yi barbarian soldiers to the Yanshan stronghold without hesitation, then quickly turn around and send troops to quickly rush to Wuping Prefecture City.

Only half of the plan was implemented, the barbarians had already received news from the rear. The barbarians who had not been transferred to the front line immediately launched a mutiny. Although Wenpu was prepared for a long time, he still suffered heavy losses when he quelled the rebellion. The barbarians who were transferred to the front soon received news and immediately withdrew from the stronghold and rushed towards the Qin army.

While quelling the rebellion, Wenpu sent people to defend the important roads in the mountains to prevent the barbarians from going down the mountain. The Liaodong Army took advantage of the situation to break through the stronghold. For a moment, the barbarians were attacked on both sides, and the battlefield in Yanshan was also in chaos.

The barbarians rebelled. Wenpu knew that the situation was hopeless. After paying a huge price to quell the rebellion of thousands of barbarians, he received a letter sent by Xuanyuan Shao. He learned that the Wuping Prefecture had been taken advantage of the situation by the Northwest Army and immediately retreated to Hujin. In desperation, he could only leave thousands of troops to block the mountain road, and the main force of the Qin army quickly retreated south.

What's even more terrible is that the main component of the Qin army was originally the Hexi army under Feng Yuanpo's command. Many generals were forced to be subdued by Dingwu due to the situation. These people were veterans who had experienced many battles. Wen Pu might be able to deceive the Yi barbarians, but how could he deceive these generals?

When the Qin army withdrew its troops, someone soon received news of the fall of Wuping Prefecture City. The generals naturally knew that the Qin State was already desperate and had no power to turn the world back.

Wenpu retreated to Hujin, just to struggle dyingly, and how could the generals in Hexi follow?

Moreover, some people deliberately spread the news of the fall of Wuping Prefecture. After the Qin army learned about it, they immediately caused riots. The main component of the Qin army was the Hexi army, and most of the Hexi army were local children of Hexi. How could they follow Wen Pu to retreat to Hujin? Before they were halfway, a large number of soldiers left the team, and even generals were preparing to launch a mutiny and kill Wen Pu.

The generals of Hexi knew very well that there was the Liaodong Army in the east and the Northwest Army in the west. Whether it was the Northwest Army or the Liaodong Army, their strength was far beyond the remnants.

These people wanted to take Wenpu's head, which would be a great gift for surrender. Whether it was the Liaodong Army or the Northwest Army, if they got Wenpu's head, it would naturally be a great achievement in their opinion.

Wenpu was very smart and knew that the generals of Hexi had already developed a strange intention. Fortunately, in addition to the Hexi Army and the Yi Barbarian Army, there were still two thousand guards sent by Dingwu. These two thousand guards Wenpu naturally would not be sent to the front line and was well preserved. Under the escort of the Guards, he also broke out and escaped a disaster, but the tens of thousands of troops under his command dispersed in a hurry.

Wenpu could only bring a few soldiers to Hujin, while most of the Hexi army dispersed, while the remaining soldiers and horses were in conflict, falling apart, and parting ways.

When Chu Huan received the news on the eastern front, the Liaodong Army had already broken through Yanshan and entered Hexi for dozens of miles, but did not continue to advance, but occupied a city and took a temporary rest.

When the Liaodong Army attacked Yanshan, it suffered heavy losses and was exhausted. Mo Wuyi knew very well that the logistics supply in Liaodong had to pass through Yanshan, and the road was difficult and transportation was very difficult. When the food, grass and weapons were not fully supplemented, it rashly attacked the hinterland of Hexi, which was extremely dangerous. In addition, the main attack on Yanshan was the Liaodong infantry, and most of the cavalry had to enter Hexi through Yanshan. It was not so easy to cross Yanshan. It was just a chance to take this opportunity to wait for the support to catch up, and let the exhausted Liaodong soldiers take a temporary rest.

For most Liaodong soldiers, although they finally crossed Yanshan, no one could be happy.

In the Battle of Yanshan, nearly 20,000 people were killed or injured, which can be said to be the most heavy loss since the founding of the Liaodong Army. Most of the soldiers of the Liaodong Army were local children of Liaodong, and many soldiers were relatives and friends, old friends in the village, and had been fighting for several months. Relatives, friends and old friends were buried in the battlefield. Who would be happy?

The exhausted Liaodong Army occupied the Daomao City on the east side of Hexi, which was a county town on the easternmost part of Hexi. When the Liaodong Army arrived, it was almost an empty city with no troops stationed in it, and it easily occupied the county town.

When the Liaodong army attacked Yanshan and passed through Yanshan, the first slightly larger one was Daoma City. The people in the city naturally knew that the disaster was coming early. In order to supplement the supply, the Qin army had already collected all the money, grain and materials in the city before the people in the city left. The enemy was in front of them, so they naturally did not care about the lives of the people, but the people in the city fled west or south.

In fact, it was not just the city of Ma, Wenpu ordered all cities in the east to raise food and supplies for the front line. Although the materials were scarce, flies were also meat. Wenpu's military orders were issued, and officials from each city were bound to use this to make a big move and exploit the people. However, the people of each city fled to the city. The cities of all sizes had already left the city empty and withered.

Mo Wuyi thought about using war to support the war after entering Hexi, raising supplies on the spot. When he arrived at Daoma City, he knew that this could only be wishful thinking and empty, leaving only the young and old who could not move around.

Fortunately, when people left, they did not burn the city. Otherwise, during this cold and cold day, the Liaodong Army would not even have a place to stay in the cold.

The Liaodong Army did not have a strong morale because of the capture of Yanshan Mountain, and Mo Wuyi did not have the slightest excitement because of occupying Daoma City. Instead, he was very upset.

He knew very well that although the soldiers of the Liaodong Army did not dare to disobey under the military order of Chi Liandian and fought for several months, the morale in the army was getting weaker and weaker.

He knew even more that there was actually undercurrents within the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army has always been divided into two major factions. The local factions and foreign factions in Liaodong have always fought openly and secretly. As the governor of Liaodong, Chi Liandian also adopted a balanced approach to control the army and did not suppress the struggle between the two factions.

Chi Liandian led an army of 30,000 to advance eastward to conquer Liaodong, and eventually drove the Goryeo people away. Chi Liandian has been in charge of Liaodong since then. At the beginning, it was naturally relying on these tens of thousands of direct troops.

However, if you want to control Liaodong, you naturally have to appease the local people of Liaodong. If you want to guard for a long time, you must integrate into the Liaodong gentry system. Relying solely on the direct people, you want to make Liaodong unite, resist Goryeo in the east and block the barbarians in the north, which is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Although the direct troops who followed him to Liaodong were the core, as the troops expanded, the local children of Liaodong gradually entered the Liaodong army, and there was a strong momentum for those who came to the top.

In the past twenty years, except for the Chi Bei Tu Cavalry, the three cavalry in Liaodong, were almost all the direct descendants of Chi Lian Di, while the Yellow Armored Tiger Cavalry and the Black Armored Wolf Cavalry were the local factions with absolute advantages.

Although Chi Liandian trusts his own legion more, if he wants to stabilize his connections and various resources in Liaodong, he still needs strong support from Liaodong. The Liaodong generals' voice in the army is becoming increasingly important.

In the previous Liaodong chaos, Mo Wuyi also killed the enemy in helpless situations. A large number of Liaodong generals among the generals were eliminated. Although the purpose was to control the entire Liaodong army, this result also greatly weakened the power of the Liaodong army and had already caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the Liaodong army.

After all, they are not fools. Almost all the generals who have been eliminated are Liaodong generals. How can those local soldiers in Liaodong not be angry in their hearts? But under the power of Chi Liandian, they dare not speak out.

It is also because of this that during the Battle of Yanshan, Mo Wuyi did not dare to hand over the main attack mission to the local soldiers and horses in Liaodong. If this is done, in the eyes of the local soldiers and horses in Liaodong, Mo Wuyi naturally has the suspicion of being a lie in using troops.

After all, the Battle of Yanshan was extremely difficult, and rushing to the front is undoubtedly a death. If only Liaodong local soldiers and horses were used, but the direct troops were left behind, just waiting for the local soldiers to die, but the strength of the direct troops was preserved. The changes in the army had already made Liaodong soldiers very dissatisfied. If they still wanted to do this, even if the power of Red Refining Electric was above, mutiny would inevitably occur.

Therefore, in order to appease the anger of Liaodong soldiers, Mo Wuyi could only send direct soldiers to fight with Liaodong soldiers, which caused a large number of casualties and injuries to the direct soldiers.

The Liaodong Army was able to fight to the death and break through Yanshan. In the final analysis, it was nothing more than the soldiers who feared Chi Lixing and followed Chi Lixing's order, but it was not because they respected him.

But after a few months, he was useless to command the battle. The soldiers in the army had already had gossip in private, but it was nothing more than such a fierce battle, with countless casualties. Chi Liandian, the governor of Liaodong, has been nowhere to be seen for a long time, and has not even appeared in a single side after a few months. This is really inconsistent. It should be noted that Chi Liandian has always cared about the army very much. Not to mention such a large battle, on weekdays, Chi Liandian will also be present in person.

He was born in the Chilian Electric Power Corps and was very caring for soldiers. As the governor, he would spend a few days almost every month spending in the military camp and sleeping with the soldiers. This is why he was respected by the soldiers of Liaodong.

However, now only the military orders of Chili Electric were issued, but no one was seen. For more than 20 years, such strange situations have never happened. There are naturally many smart people in the army. They will inevitably mutter privately, but this makes the Liaodong army seem to be united, but there is already an undercurrent inside.

Mo Wuyi knew that he had no way to solve such a problem.

He was not without self-knowledge. He knew that he was naturally just a word in front of Chibei's cavalry, but in the entire Liaodong army, he really did not have that great prestige but shocked all the soldiers. If he wanted to let the gossip in the army disperse and even increase morale, only Chi Liandian could appear in front of the soldiers. Otherwise, the doubts in the army would become increasingly serious, and this was definitely an extremely serious problem.

He was loyal to Chi Liandian, but Chi Liandian is now in the hands of the King of Han. The deal he reached with the King of Han was that as long as he broke through Wuping's prefecture and seized Dingwu, he could exchange Dingwu's heads for Chi Liandian.

He only hoped to quickly conquer Wuping Prefecture City and capture Dingwu before the doubts within the Liaodong Army turned into turmoil.

However, the subsequent detectives sent to the horses sent continuously, which made him anxious. Wuping Prefecture City was occupied by the Northwest Army, while Wen Pu led the remnants to Hujin.

After the two news came back, Mo Wuyi immediately judged that Dingwu might have retreated to Hujin, but the Northwest Army was already in front of him.

The Northwest Army was afraid of the Liaodong Army, but the Liaodong Army was also quite afraid of the Northwest Army.

Back then, these were the two most powerful garrison troops in the Qin Empire. They were both brave and good at fighting, and they were also brave and fearless.

Mo Wuyi's ultimate strategic purpose was not to fight to capture Wuping City. His purpose was to capture Wuping City and capture Dingwu. As for Dingwu's life and death, he didn't care. As long as Dingwu's head was the one who could trade with the Han King.

He knew very well that, with the current situation of the Liaodong Army, outsiders seemed to be strong and powerful, but he knew that the Liaodong Army, which was chaotic internally, was not ready to conquer the world, nor was he ready to confront the Northwest Army head-on.

If Chi Liandian led the army, Mo Wuyi naturally had no worries, but now he was the one who led the troops and led his troops to charge into the battle was no problem. However, without Chi Liandian, he allowed him to plan and dominate the world, and he asked himself that he had no such ability at all.
