Chapter 1761: A house full of traitors
In the end, Fuxi left with Xie Siyun, and of course Shennong did the same.
The two of them chose to leave at this time, mainly because they wanted to help their third brother Xuanyuan. After all, the situation Xuanyuan was facing at this time, even they were powerless, and they could only help Xuanyuan by inheriting the position of leader.
Although Gongsun Xuanyuan was extremely reluctant to leave his two adopted brothers, he did not stop him. After all, the two adopted brothers had helped him enough, and he did not want them to stay with him. adventure.
Not long after Fuxi and Shennong left, Li Hongzhang got the news from the Qin army's intelligence network that the Manchu and Qing armies were gathering towards Liaodong and might enter Youzhou at any time.
The intelligence network established by Gongsun Zan was completely destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty due to Wu Sangui's betrayal. In addition, the Liao Kingdom had been usurped by Chen Baxian, so Gongsun Xuanyuan no longer had intelligence to support him, and the only one he could rely on was the Qin army. Intelligence network.
After learning about the Qing Dynasty's movements from Li Hongzhang, Gongsun Xuanyuan was not surprised at all. With his wisdom, he could easily analyze that as the Qin army completely occupied Jizhou and Qingbei, he originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were obviously unable to sit still at this time, so they were so eager to mobilize troops to Liaodong.
At the beginning, Gongsun Xuanyuan had 30,000 elite troops, and he could fight against Wanyan Aguda relying on the favorable geographical location. But now Gongsun Xuanyuan only has an army of more than 10,000 people left in his hands. It is difficult to even deal with Wanyan Aguda, let alone lead the army himself. Nurhachi.
“Mr. Liao, according to the information obtained by our spies, the Manchu and Qing troops that have entered Liaodong have exceeded 150,000. Adding in the strength of Wanyan Agu’s thugs, the total strength of the Manchu and Qing troops will exceed 200,000.”
Li Hongzhang's eyes were full of solemnity and he said in a deep voice: "At present, the Liao army only has more than 10,000 troops left, and it is still extremely exhausted. Fighting against the 200,000 Manchu and Qing troops is like using a mantis as a chariot.
There is also news from General Huo Qubing, hoping that Duke Liao can lead the army to avoid the danger for the time being. "
“But even if you want to avoid the sharp edge for a while, where can you go?”
Gongsun Xuanyuan frowned and asked. After all, he was not stupid. Naturally, he would not be brave enough to lead an army of 10,000 to confront an army of 200,000. That would not be heroic but foolish.
It's not that Gongsun Xuanyuan never thought of escaping into the Chen Kingdom, but behind him was Chen Baxian's army, staring at the Liao army camp day and night.
Obviously, Chen Baxian would never let Gongsun Xuanyuan enter the Chen Kingdom until the army in his hands was exhausted and completely lost all use value.
Hearing Gongsun Xuanyuan’s question, Li Hongzhang couldn’t help but frown.
Huo Qubing's biography of Fei Ge only said that the Liao army should temporarily avoid the sharp edge, but it did not say how to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
Li Hongzhang stared at the map. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly had an idea and said excitedly: "The western Liaoning area is mountainous. You can escape into the mountainous areas of western Liaoning to avoid the Qing army and Chen army's pincer attack."
“Hide in the mountains?”
Gongsun Xuanyuan looked disappointed and said: "The mountainous area in western Liaoning extends for hundreds of miles. It is indeed possible to hide people, but what about supplies?
It is difficult to obtain supplies in the mountains. Once the way out is blocked, only three thousand troops will be able to consume our entire army.
Escape into the mountains to avoid fighting is actually a way to die. "
“No, no, no.”
Li Hongzhang's face was full of confidence. He pointed to a mountain range on the map and said: "The mountains in western Liaoning are connected to each other, and this mountain is close to the grassland, and the food and grass of our Qin army can be transported from here to ensure hiding." The army entering the mountains has no food."
Hearing this, Gongsun Xuanyuan also looked at the map and pondered for a long time before saying: "It is indeed possible, but this can only guarantee a constant supply of food.
This time the Manchu and Qing troops came to attack with 200,000 troops. There was no shortage of troops at all. Even if our army hid in the mountains, the Manchu and Qing troops would definitely send troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress us until our troops were completely wiped out. With the current strength of our army, even if we rely on the favorable geographical location, we will not be able to sustain it for long. "
“Haha, Duke Liao is wrong in what he said. The Manchu Qing Dynasty dispatched a total of 200,000 troops. The plan must be huge. How can we delay too much time?”
A flash of light flashed in Li Hongzhang's eyes, and he said with great confidence: "If what I predict is correct, as long as we can escape the first wave of siege by the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will only block the exit and let us fend for ourselves. On the contrary, the army can become an amazing force.”
Gongsun Xuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he made a final decision: "It's a good plan, let's do it like this."
Following Gongsun Xuanyuan's order, 10,000 Liao troops fled into the rolling Liaoxi Mountains overnight with supplies and ordnance. By the time Chen Jun's spies discovered it, it was already too late.
In the palace of King Chen, Chen Baxian was sitting on the throne.
Below, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Meng, Li Yan, Zhang Bangchang and other civil and military ministers were lined up on the left and right, which can be said to be full of traitors.
To say that these people are traitors is not unfair to them at all.
You must know that Gongsun Xuanyuan has a 'Saint King', which can invisibly increase the loyalty of his subordinates. However, even if the 'Saint King' increased their loyalty, they still betrayed Gongsun Xuanyuan without hesitation. This shows that these people are basically Hopeless.
"Report...to report to the king that Gongsun Xuanyuan led the army to escape into the mountains, and the Liao army ran away."
"What?"
When Chen Ba first learned about it, he was surprised at first, but then he looked surprised, and said to himself doubtfully: "Even if Gongsun Xuanyuan wanted to avoid the edge temporarily, how could he make this move? Without our food and grass supplies, the Liao army would have fled. What to eat after entering the mountains? This is a dead move."
Gao Qiu stood up at this time and said: "My lord, Gongsun Xuanyuan is greedy for life and afraid of death. Now that he runs away, he is free. There is no buffer between Chen Guo and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but we have to face the Manchu Qing Dynasty directly." The soldiers are at the forefront."
Chen Baxian frowned slightly, sighed and said: "Although I don't want to fight with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, if the Manchu and Qing Dynasties really come to invade my territory, they will have to use troops to cover up the water and the soil.
His Gongsun Xuanyuan was able to confront Wanyan Aguda for several months with only 30,000 lone troops. I have the entire Chen Kingdom, how can I still not be able to defend the Chen Kingdom? "
Chen Baxian did not say anything about asking for help from the Northern Han Dynasty, because he knew that the Northern Han Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself and was unable to send troops to support his Chen State.
As soon as Chen Baxian said this, the expressions of Gao Qiu and other ministers present suddenly changed slightly.
Cai Jing, Zhang Bangchang and others looked at me and I looked at you. After a while, Li Yan stood up and said with a faint smile: "My lord, I think it is not a good idea to fight with the Manchus. In fact, there is a better way. You can fight with the Qing Dynasty." The Qing Dynasty turned war into jade and silk."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Chen Baxian suddenly became energetic and asked quickly: "Please tell me quickly."
