Daiyu of the Red Chamber is fierce

Why did the war that was still under Daqin's control suddenly take a sudden turn for the worse even though there was no big victory?There is a reason for this, of course.

The defeat first started in Liaodong Town, but as the original highest military officer in Liaodong, if all the faults were to be attributed to him, the Guangning General Soldier would be wronged.

Because the Great Qin Dynasty had been peaceful and peaceful for a long time, and the national treasury was once again enriched due to the salt administration case, so at the beginning, although some people still tried to embezzle some food, grass and military salaries, it was still sufficient in the end, and the morale of the soldiers was quite high, but the Tatars The Tatars are much stronger than the Qin people, good at fighting, and the cavalry is particularly brave, and the Tatars are equally high-spirited. For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate. After fighting for two years, both sides suffered injuries, but they failed to reach their own goals. previous purpose.

Xue Zhongren, the commander-in-chief of Guangning, has guarded Liaodong for many years and has rich experience in dealing with the Tatars, but there are no mistakes. However, the emperor transferred troops from various places, re-appointed the supervisor and the capital, and even changed the generals at all levels. In the Liaodong Army, Xue Zhongren's family was no longer the dominant one, and it was fine. Although the enemy was fighting for power and profit, the overall situation was the most important thing, and nothing went wrong.

Xue Zongbing is a steady and steady fighter, but the new deputy general Lu Guoan is not. He is the emperor's confidant. Therefore, when the latest Tatar attack failed and fled, they led people to chase them up. Xue Zhongren guarded the rear, and when he found out that he was too late to stop him, he watched Lu Guoan rushing away with his soldiers. go out.

Xue Zhongren was so angry that he slapped the table, and the soldiers on the side comforted him: "My lord, the Tatars have been dispersed, General Lu must be fine this time."

Xue Zhongren said angrily: "Don't chase after poor bandits. What's more, the movements of the Tatars are a bit unusual these days. The number of routes is not the same as before. The people led by Lu Guoan are all elite soldiers. If something happens, the Tatars If we come to attack the city again, the defense of the city may be dangerous!"

The soldier immediately shut up. Although Xue Zhongren yelled at the soldier, he hoped that he had overthought.

But I'm really afraid of what will happen.

Xue Zhongren sent someone to look for Lu Guoan, but the spies brought the news he least wanted to hear: "Report! Lu, General Lu was ambushed by Tatars, and the entire army was wiped out!"

Xue Zhongren was almost unable to stand still, but Lu Guoan's affairs were no longer important at this time, "Hurry up, arrange guards, prepare the ordnance to defend the city, and call the people below to wake up, the Tatars may attack the city."

Xue Zhongren guessed correctly again. It didn't take long for the Tatars to gather a large army and approach the city. Unlike the previous siege, the Tatars also brought many new siege equipment this time, and even some of them were attacked by the Qin Dynasty. The tightly controlled Hongyi Cannon......

Guangning Guards rose up to resist, but the city lost its elite soldiers first, and the Tatars were equipped with shotguns and guns, and they were upgraded to a level. Compared with the previous attention, the Tatars suddenly became cunning and tricked So many things, Liaodong Town was caught off guard.

"General Xue was defeated, and the people were evacuated. He only said that he was a sinner, and he was determined to live and die with Liaodong Town. After the Tatars invaded, he died for the country."

Listening to the report, the emperor and the Supreme Emperor were silent for a moment.

The Supreme Emperor glanced at the emperor with an inexplicable expression: "The emperor really knows people well."

"Forget it, although Xue Zhongren failed to hold on, he was loyal after all, and he was posthumously named General Jianwei of the first rank. Emperor, do you have any objections?"

The emperor lowered his eyes and said nothing, which was the default.

The Supreme Emperor asked again, "How about that Lu Guoan?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there is no news at present, life and death are unknown."

"Hmph." The Supreme Emperor sneered, and asked another question: "How is Malanyu?"

The emperor sighed: "I have urgently dispatched 3 horses to support."

The Supreme Emperor nodded: "Xuanfu, Datong, and the other seven towns in Taiyuan? Don't be taken advantage of."

The emperor sat upright, and said lightly: "Father, don't worry, I have made arrangements."

The Taishanghuang glanced at the emperor indifferently, but did not speak.

The emperor turned to the ministers: "The border is in an emergency, and Daqin is in the midst of employing people. Which love is willing to go to the border to protect my Daqin country?"

Tu Huaishen listened for a long time below, but at this moment he suddenly took the lead and said: "I wish to go!"

The emperor suddenly raised his head, and stared at Tu Huaishen closely. Tu Huaishen didn't move at all, and looked very determined. The Supreme Emperor frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Fingers wrenched, noncommittal.

The court hall was very quiet, and a needle could be heard. After a long while, the emperor smiled and said, "Prince An's intentions are commendable, but war is not a child's play. It concerns the safety of the Great Qin. Prince An is not familiar with military affairs, and he is newly married. , Prince An should stay in the capital."

Before Tu Huaishen could argue further, the Supreme Emperor interjected: "It is true what the Emperor said, but Prince An is patriotic and cannot be disappointed. Since he is not familiar with military affairs, from today onwards, he does not have to go to the Sixth Ministry, but to the capital. Three battalions."

The three major battalions in the capital are the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion. They guard the capital inside and prepare for battle outside. They are considered the most elite troops in the Qin Dynasty.The emperor narrowed his eyes, but he didn't refute anymore. The matter was settled like this. The emperor and the Supreme Emperor each ordered a few people to go to the border to continue discussing the Tatars.

After coming down to court, Tu Huaishen followed the Supreme Emperor to Ningshou Palace, and followed him to meet some officials.Tu Huaishen could feel that since he fainted and nearly had a stroke, the Supreme Emperor's attitude towards him had obviously changed. Although the Supreme Emperor had been very kind to him before, some things were firmly in his hands.

In the past, Du Huaishen was sneaky, made friends with people in various ministries with the half-tacit consent of the Supreme Emperor, and quietly arranged for personnel training teams, but now the Supreme Emperor leads him, teaching him how to win over his subordinates, leading him to make friends with important officials, and even the Supreme Emperor's army The staff in the middle, in every word and deed, faintly showed their attitude to the courtiers.

But even so, the Supreme Emperor did not agree with Tu Huai Shen's plan to go to the border, and only said: "I know your intentions, but it's not suitable for you now, you should go to the three camps to practice first."

Back at Prince An's Mansion, Lin Daiyu surrounded him anxiously: "How, what's the situation at the border?"

Tu Huaishen sat down first, drank the tea in one breath, then took a breath, pulled Daiyu to sit aside, and sighed: "Your Majesty has already dispatched troops, see what the court thinks, although it seems urgent, But the imperial court seems to be a little sure. By the way, I volunteered to go to the border, but was blocked, but the Supreme Emperor agreed for me to go to the three camps."

In other words, this is his real intention. Du Huaishen is naturally very anxious about the Tatar matter, but he knows that he is indifferent, not to mention that the Supreme Emperor and the emperor will not agree. Although he has read some military books, he also practiced I have been a soldier of the Prince's Mansion, but going to the battlefield is not just talking on paper, so naturally Tu Huaishen did not dare to act recklessly.

Daiyu listened to Tu Huaishen's words, first heaved a sigh of relief, and then raised her concerns after hearing what he said, until Tu Huaishen finished speaking, Lin Daiyu leaned back in her chair and sighed: "The imperial court is sure to drive out the Tatars. That's good." Having said that, Daiyu was still very worried and said with regret, "It would be great if women can join the army."

Tu Huaishen smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will let you lead a team of women's soldiers in the future."

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Tu Huai Shen smiled and said, "Of course it is true."

Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand: "High fives!"

Tu Huaishen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he also stretched out his hand: "High five is an oath."

The two clashed with each other, making a crisp sound.

However, the war was not as smooth as Da Qin had imagined. After the initial panic, although the emperor seemed to have regained his confidence, and the Da Qin Dynasty seemed to be showing power again, the battle lasted for another year.

After losing several cities in a row, Daqin sent a large number of reinforcements, and the generals who defended the city also stepped up their guard. However, the Tatars had greatly changed in terms of siege equipment and formation of troops, and they were extremely cunning. Even looking at its tactics, it has a bit of the style of the Great Qin Dynasty, and most of the Tatars are physically strong. This time they launched a fierce attack. The battle between the two sides was particularly fierce, and each suffered heavy losses.Often when Daqin launched a counterattack and finally pushed back the front line, the Tatars would usher in another attack and advance the front line again.

The cost of the war was extremely high. It had already been fought for two years, and this year, no matter what the cost was, both the Tatars and the Great Qin couldn't support it.

Unsurprisingly, when the Tatars proposed peace talks, nearly half of the people in the court chose to support them.

Naturally, nearly half of the people resolutely opposed it and demanded that the fight continue.

Someone sneered and said: "General Zhou knows that the Ministry of Finance has no money to support this war. If the fight continues, where will the food and grass come from? Where will the weapons be supplied and the army's salary come from? Why don't we call a truce and negotiate for a while, and wait for Daqin to recover?" It’s not too late to fight again.”

Zhou Kui argued: "The Tatars are at the end of their bow at this time. If they persist for a while, they may win a big victory."

"Heh, I can't tell. Does General Zhou dare to guarantee victory?" Sun Changqing sarcastically said.

Seeing that Zhou Kui was at a loss for words for a while, Sun Changqing continued his efforts: "Your Majesty, my great Qin has always been civilized by etiquette. Poems and books have been handed down from generation to generation. Those who conquer the soldiers are the ones who are good. It is better to use the etiquette of the poems and books to educate everyone in the world." Tatar, use and stop Ge..."

"Ha, I've never heard of using peace to stop fighting. Stop fighting has always been used as a weapon. Master Sun doesn't understand the art of war, so don't use it indiscriminately. If you don't subdue the Tatars, how can you keep Daqin truly safe?"

"Enough!" The emperor finally couldn't help shouting as he watched the two parties below quarrel and the third party remained neutral, turning the court into a mess like a vegetable market.

The scene immediately became quiet, and the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs stood with their hands down. Although they stopped arguing, they still stared at each other. It was obvious that neither of them accepted the other.
