Chapter 473
Updated four chapters today, make up for yesterday's)
Guan Yu rode his horse back into the military formation. At this moment, all the soldiers of the Huns were staring at Guan Yu, who was covered in blood with an extremely admiration.
"Transfer the order and retreat immediately!" Guan Yu ordered the Right Xian King.
Thousands of cavalry immediately took action, turned around at 180 degrees, and then rushed to the west along the official road. Guan Yu took a knife and immediately looked at the coalition light cavalry that was surging towards this side. He smiled on his face, turned his horse's head, shouted, and the Zhenchen Divine Horse ran away, chasing the cavalry of the Huns running not far ahead.
Looking at the back that was quickly moving away, Li Muqing looked complicated. "Send the order and stop chasing!" Li Muqing ordered. Then the clear voice of Jin Zhong rang out in frustration.
In this raid, Guan Yu failed to achieve the goal set before the war. Guan Yu originally planned to break into the central army with lightning speed, destroy the core brain of the enemy, and at the same time destroy the fighting will of the enemy. However, the eldest princess of Goguryeo, Li Muqing, actually discovered Guan Yu and the others' journey in advance, causing Guan Yu to launch an attack in advance. Although Fu Yu's 30,000 front troops were wiped out by nearly 20,000, because Guan Yu was unable to achieve strategic intentions, the raid was still considered defeated. However, from another perspective, Guan Yu should have won. If you want to defeat the front army, you won the battle alone. Guan Yu rode alone into the enemy coalition formation, and went around like entering a no-man. Then he killed more than a dozen generals from the other side, which greatly damaged the morale of the enemy. So, to a certain extent, Guan Yu won this battle.
Guan Yu led more than 4,000 cavalry to the Qinglong River, then turned around and returned along the way.
At this moment, Tie Po Han led 20,000 light cavalry to form an array on the west bank of the Qinglong River, waiting to welcome the arrival of Li Muqing and his 200,000 reinforcements. Three floating bridges had been built on the Qinglong River.
Finally, the cloud-like flag appeared in everyone's sight, and there was a dull sound like thunder in his ears.
"General, Your Highness the Princess and the others have arrived!" A lieutenant rushed to Tie Pohan to report.
Tie Pohan nodded, with a complex look on his face, with yearning and melancholy.
Almost at the same time, a scout reported to Li Muqing: "Your Highness, Princess, there is the general's troops in front of you!" Li Muqing nodded lightly. At this time, a general beside her snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "The Tiepo Han Tun Army is east of the Luan River. He has no sense of such a big movement from the Zhengbei Army!" Other generals also showed dissatisfaction and cursed indignantly. Li Muqing frowned and shouted: "Shut up! Everything on the battlefield may happen. General Tie did not notice the movement of the Zhengbei Army. It does not mean that he was dereliction of duty! I don't want to hear similar remarks!" Although the generals were still dissatisfied, they all agreed with their fists.
Li Muqing led nearly 200,000 troops to the east bank of Qinglong River, and then began to cross the river through the floating bridges built by the iron-po Han in advance.
When Li Muqing's commanding flag moved to the west bank, Tie Pohan personally led a dozen generals to meet him.
"I will pay homage to Your Highness the Princess!" Tie Pohan turned over and got off the horse and knelt down, his attitude seemed very respectful.
Li Muqing got off the horse and came to Tie Pohan, held up Tie Pohan with both hands, and said gently: "The general doesn't have to be too polite!"
Tie Pohan stood up, looked up at Li Muqing who was close to him, and an excitement flashed in his eyes. Tie Pohan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!"
Li Muqing smiled sweetly, "General Tie is expanding territory for me, Goguryeo and making great achievements! He is truly a great contribution!" Tie Pohan hurriedly humbled himself.
Li Muqing said again: "In the future, General Tie will not have to salute me!"
Tie Pohan was shocked and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Princess, how can this work!"
Before Tie Pohan finished speaking, a general behind Li Muqing opposed: "Your Highness, will this be a mess of etiquette?"
Li Muqing frowned and scolded: "The reason why I, Goguryeo, can achieve today...
This situation is because we can appoint talents without any restrictions and have clear rewards and punishments! General Tie made great achievements in my Goguryeo, and such courtesy deserved!" The general immediately had nothing to say.
Tie Pohan was moved and couldn't help but kneel down to Li Muqing, and swore solemnly: "I will definitely be considered as Goguryeo to pieces!"
Li Muqing helped Tie Pohan up again, and his eyes intersected. Li Muqing nodded heavily to Tie Pohan. Tie Pohan responded with a determined expression, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. The relationship between these two people did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.
Next, Tie Pohan met with important figures from the other five countries under the introduction of Li Muqing. Then everyone stepped on the war horses and went straight to Tie Pohan's camp with a 200,000 army. Along the way, Tie Pohan rode his horse and walked beside Li Muqing. Li Muqing asked Tie Pohan about the current battle situation and some of the situation of the Northern Expedition Army.
About an hour later, 200,000 reinforcements from Goguryeo arrived at the camp of Tiepo Han. Then, officers led the troops to their respective camps.
All the generals surrounded Li Muqing and entered the tent, taking their place, Tie Po Han stood at the left head, Li Muqing stood in the main position without hesitation.
Li Muqing stretched out his hand to the entourage beside him. The entourage immediately opened a rectangular brocade box held in his hand, and then knelt down on one knee and presented it to Li Muqing. It turned out that it contained the imperial edict of King Goguryeo.
Li Muqing held out the imperial edict with both hands and raised it high. The generals under the tent immediately showed respect, clasped their fists and lowered their heads slightly. The generals from the other countries were just standing there quietly.
Li Muqing glanced at the tent, opened the imperial edict, read it out: "..., Tie Pohan fought for me for several years, and finally won the seven counties of Liaodong in the Han people. He specially appointed Tie Pohan as the general of the Western Expedition and was named Liaodong Hou!" Tie Pohan showed gratitude on his face and looked even more respectful!
Li Muqing continued: "... From now on, the military power of the army in the expedition to the chief princess Li Muqing, and the general in the expedition to the deputy commander and assist the chief princess! I hope you all work together to convey the good news early! I respect this!"
The generals of Goguryeo shouted long live, and then the Iron Dehu Han took over the imperial edict on behalf of the generals. This process was completely imitated by the Han Dynasty.
After Tie Pohan received the imperial edict, he took out the head coach's golden seal and held it in both hands to present it to Li Muqing. Li Muqing held the head coach's golden seal in his hand, and the excitement in his eyes flashed.
Li Muqing sat down in the main seat, and the golden seal representing the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops was placed on the left. The generals were placed on the left and right under the tent, staring at Li Muqing, the new head coach.
After asking about the daily situation of the military camp, Li Muqing said to the generals of the five countries: "God of all the generals, please have a good rest first!"
The generals of the five countries expressed their gratitude, and then withdrew from the tent one after another. "General Kuai." Li Muqing suddenly called out to a general wearing animal leather armor. The man turned around and asked in a bad tone: "What's wrong with you?" Tie Pohan saw that this man was powerless to Li Muqing, and he was about to attack him on the spot. Li Muqing held Tie Pohan and smiled indifferently: "I'm sorry to notify Prince Fu Meng. Mu Qing will go back to visit him later!" Fu Meng was recuperating in a tent because his arm was cut off by Guan Yu, and he did not come to participate in the routine discussion. The general surnamed Kuai replied in a rough voice: "I understand!" Yu Luo, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Tie Pohan frowned and said angrily: "How could this person be so rude! Your Highness the Princess is too generous!"
Li Muqing smiled indifferently and briefly told Tie Pohan about what happened not long ago.
Tie Pohan was shocked, and then knelt down and apologized: "The last general is dereliction of duty, please ask His Highness the Princess to punish the last general for dereliction of duty!"
Li Muqing helped Tie Pohan up and comforted him: "This is not the general's fault! The general does not have to blame himself!" Tie Pohan couldn't help but feel moved and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your unrepentance!"
Li Muqing returned to the position of commander and looked thoughtful. After a moment, he said to Tie Pohan: "This Northern Expedition Army has avoided the general's eyewitness, which means they have found...
I have a path that we don’t know can pass through the Qinglong River smoothly! You immediately send a scout to search along the Qinglong River! Be sure to find this path!" Tie Pohan immediately ordered Jin Yang to do this.
The invincible general of the Han army, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but appear in Li Muqing's mind. Even when she thought of it at this time, her heart was still full of shock. So she asked Tie Pohan: "By the way, do you know that a general in the Han army with a red face using the Panlong sword!"
Tie Pohan was stunned and then replied: "Your Highness the Princess should be the chief general of the Han army who is currently confronting our army across the river, Guan Yu!" He felt aroused his heart and asked: "Is the one who led the cavalry assault actually Guan Yu?"
