Chapter 114 Winter Truce
On the other hand, in the Jin people's camp, Jin Wushu was also very surprised when he saw Chai Yi's army. They did not expect that the opponent's troops had reached 400,000! Four times more than their own troops!
However, they knew the combat power of Zhou's army in their hearts that no matter what kind of troops it was, they were not afraid of Tiefutu. Therefore, he did not worry too much about the military force.
However, Jin Wushu was still very afraid of Chai Yi's tactical arrangements. He still remembered the last Kyoto defense battle, knowing that it was because of Chai Yi's tactics that caused huge losses to himself.
"Marson! How should we arrange it? We can't ignore the ability of King Chai Yi, the opposite Qi,!" said a general under Jin Wushu. This is a veteran on the battlefield. He was afraid that Jin Wushu would underestimate the enemy, so he gave him advice. It would be a bad idea if Jin Wushu overestimates his ability to ignore the key point of Chai Yi.
"I have fought with him! I know that King Chai Yi of Qi must not be underestimated, I will pay attention to it." Jin Wushu said in a deep voice, "Now, the key to us is to show our might in one battle, regain the momentum of our own soldiers, and attack the arrogance of the Zhou people!"
It’s quite heartbreaking to think about it. Not long ago, they were at the city and wanted to destroy the Great Zhou in one go, but now they are attacking their doorstep again. It’s really ironic!
Because the Jin people were defeated once, the Zhou army was stronger than the Jin people in terms of momentum and had a stronger fighting spirit!
Suddenly, Jin Wushu frowned and said sternly: "No! Let Tiefutu retreat quickly!"
"Why?" The general was puzzled. He was happy to see the armor that Tiefutu killed Zhou Jun. He was about to win. Why should he withdraw?
Jin Wushu said: "The Tiefutu is too heavy, and the soldiers will be exhausted! This general suspected that the King of Qi was fighting a war of attrition, trying to consume the Tiefutu, and then attack the Tiefutu in one fell swoop! By then, the Tiefututu would be invincible, and it would be difficult to resist!"
"What the Marshal said is! I will go and pass the order immediately!"
Chai Yi, who was in the central military position, soon noticed that Tiefutu turned a corner and began to retreat! Chai Yi realized that his plan had been discovered by Jin Wushu!
Gao Changgong, who was beaten by Tiefutu, was frightened. He thought he was going to be ruined here today and was ready to die calmly, but Tiefutu suddenly withdrew at this time. Although he saved his life, Gao Changgong also fell off the horse's back because he was too seriously injured. After that, he became unconscious. Whether it was life or death or an unknown number.
Looking at the withdrawn Tiefutu, Chai Yi was afraid. He was not afraid of Tiefututu, but Jin Wushu! "What a difficult opponent! Why is the opponent not the Tiefutututu?"
When I remembered the defeated general of Shuhu Tshu, Chai Yi couldn't help but feel a little scared. If the opponent of the Kyoto Defense War was Jin Wushu, what would the result be? Fortunately, Shuhu Tshu, a arrogant general who has a strong army, otherwise the history of Jin Wushu would have been rewritten.
Speaking of Shuhu Tsar, he was defeated by the Jin Dynasty emperor Wuyan Feige and sent home. It was a lucky thing to not take his life.
Tiefutu withdrew, Chai Yi sighed lightly, "Send orders to withdraw troops! Set up camp on the spot!"
In this battle, the Zhou army did not seek any benefits from Tiefutu. Not only did they lose 50,000 troops, the two main generals Ma Chao and Gao Changgong were injured. Moreover, Gao Changgong was sent to Kyoto for treatment because of his serious injuries. The fate of fate made the commander of Huan's army temporarily fall on Tang Yin.
"I'm a cheater! I'm obviously a military advisor!"
As soon as he saw Tang Yin and Chai Yi, he remembered Tang Bohu played by Stephen Chow, so Chai Yi deliberately mobilized him and asked him to lead the Zhonghuan army to sneak attack the Jin people camp at night. I have to say that Tang Yin and Stephen Chow are still somewhat similar.
In November of the first year of Zhaoshun, the Zhou army failed in the first battle and soon ushered in the first snowfall in winter. Fortunately, Chai Yi mentioned that he was ready for winter, which did not affect the marching and war.
Kyoto,
In November, Kyoto has already entered the ranks of severe winter cold. The cold current in early winter has hit the entire Kyoto City. The pedestrians on the streets of Kyoto City have gradually decreased, and the east and west cities are no longer as prosperous as in summer and autumn. The entire Kyoto has fallen into the severe winter cold, but what is even colder is not the winter weather, but the war ahead.
As the head coach of the Northern Expedition, Chai Yi was appointed as the head coach of the Northern Expedition by Chai Yan and led an army of 500,000 to the north. This is something that the entire Kyoto people know. However, at this time, there is still no news about the war ahead. How can this not make the people of the Great Zhou feel at ease? The Great Zhou fought several battles with the Jin people. Except for the first time, the Great Zhou was most likely to win, but this time there was no news.
Even King Chai Yi of Qi, the prince who is most valued by the current emperor and the Supreme Emperor, and the prince who rose rapidly in the Great Zhou Empire relying on military achievements, and the war has not yet been carried out, the people of Kyoto have begun to feel very worried no matter how much they believe Li Ke.
Yu Kehan and Gu Zuya were also worried about the people of Kyoto. Even Chai Yan, who was sitting in the palace, was in a hurry. After Chai Yi went to the north, he did not handle government affairs much. He left all the government affairs to his subordinates to take care of. He stayed in the harem all day long and had a playful relationship with the women and concubines in the same palace.
The diligent emperor of that year has gradually disappeared.
Chai Yan, who had just returned from the harem, summoned the newly appointed Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng!
"Prime Minister, has there been any movement in the King of Wei recently?" Chai Yan asked lightly.
Zhang Juzheng paused his head slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, after the King of Wei arrived at the fiefdom, he opened up wasteland and built land. Based on the royal residence given to him by the emperor, he secretly established the royal palace. After investigation by the Jinyiwei, King of Wei was secretly buying weapons and horses!"
"Oh?" Chai Yan frowned slightly, "What do he want to do? Do he want to rebel?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "I think so too, but King Wei is forming an army to support His Highness Qi!"
"Nothing!" Chai Yan was furious and slapped the table. "Who did he think he was? He dared not do it without my will. I will summon King Wei to the palace! Forget it! I'll do it myself!"
After thinking carefully, Chai Yan planned to write the imperial edict by himself. Rather than writing it, he drew a gourd on the imperial edict and handed it over to the eunuch to send it to the Weidiwang Mansion.
In December of the first year of Zhaoshun, the weather became colder and colder. Outside the border, although Chai Yi's army proposed to prevent cold, and the food and grass were enough to last until next year, they did not expect that the winter in the border would be so cold, so the cotton coat did not achieve the ideal effect. There was no way that the soldiers could only stay in the tents all day long because the road was blocked by heavy snow, so there was no need to worry that the Jin people would take the opportunity to attack. The two sides reached a truce in mid-December, and the battle could only continue after winter!
