I’m The King Chapter 780: : Sunrise East (5)

The loss of Ningyuan and Jingyuan was a bolt from the blue for Thorpe. After Yan Qi's defeat, Donghu had already shown signs of decline. Yan Qi, Murong Kun, Azizi, Tuobahong, etc. The death of a series of generals has seriously injured Donghu's vitality. Fifty thousand cavalry were buried in Hetao, which made Donghu's military strength stretched. sharp, but when their cavalry lost their usual power in front of the East Conquering Army, they were almost helpless

It was precisely because of the lack of troops that Thorpe thought of forming an alliance with the Yan State to jointly deal with the increasingly powerful East Conquering Army. The enemy Gao Yuan was defeated, but the hope is full, but the reality is very skinny. Gao Yuan's extraordinary soldiers stood out, and within a very short period of time, they beat Yan Guo to the ground without any power to fight back, and humiliated the former subordinates. When the sad news of cutting the land and seeking peace came, Donghu's country was almost silent, which meant that in the next few days, they would have to face the siege of the Eastern Army alone, and the Yan Kingdom that lost Langya and Yuyang was almost Has completely lost the threat to the East Army

Thorpe cursed Yan Guo's incompetence loudly in his palace, but before his curse fell to the ground, Ning Yuan and Jing Yuan fell into the hands of Zhengdong Army at almost the same time

The loss of Ning Yuan and Jingyuan makes Yulin lose its barrier. If Yulin loses again, Helin will be like a big girl who took off her clothes, standing naked in front of the mighty Zhengdong Army.

Yulin must abide by this is the consensus of Donghu from top to bottom

Thorpe issued a national mobilization order, Donghu people, young and old, north and south, all gathered in Yulin

After Yulin was burned to the ground by Gao Yuan, it never recovered. After a few years of rest, I tried my best to build the city wall again, but when the Yan army attacked. It was dismantled into rubble again, just two or three years later. With Donghu's financial resources, it was really difficult to build another city wall in Yulin. It will not face the invasion of foreign enemies, so the reconstruction of Yulin has been dragged down again and again

But the situation has changed. Apparently it exceeded everyone's estimation. In just a few years, the Zhengdong Army swelled up like a snowball. When Yulin's city wall had just laid a foundation, it was once again facing the invasion of a powerful enemy.

Countless Donghu people rushed to Yulin from all directions, no matter men, women, young or old, and slaves, they rushed to Yulin together, carrying their burdens on their shoulders. Start repairing the city wall

The young men were mobilized and rode on the horses, and Thorpe finally pressed the palace guards at the bottom of the box. He even transferred 10,000 to Yulin in one breath. In Thorpe's view, the battle in Yulin was almost a battle of life and death for Donghu.

Misfortunes never come alone, but good fortune never comes along. Just when Thorpe mobilized the whole country to rush to repair the city wall in Yulin, Liaoning Wei sent another bad news. Agu Wynn rebelled. He led more than ten thousand soldiers of the original Agu tribe. . He sacrificed the Liaoning Guards, and by the way sent the rest of the Eastern Hu soldiers there into the tiger's mouth of the Eastern Zheng Army

He Lanxiong's Eastern Field Army took control of Liaoning Wei. This posed a huge problem for Thorpe, because He Lanxiong might attack Yulin together with the Northern Field Army of the Zhengdong Army. But it is also possible to go straight to Helin

Insufficient troops have to be divided into defenses, which makes Thorpe very anxious

"Your Majesty, Agu's rebellion is extraordinary, and this momentum must continue." Tulu has a different view on Agu Wynn's rebellion, "and Lin Zhibian, many tribes are Those who were forcibly suppressed, the strength of the king back then made some small and medium-sized tribes fearful and had to surrender, but now Agu Wynn has made a very bad start, and those who have resentment towards the king may follow A Gu Huai'en's footsteps surrendered to Gao Yuan, because Gao Yuan accepted A Gu Huai'en, he said that he had no intention of killing the Donghu people. This is an extremely vicious move, so no matter how difficult it is, the king , must be put out"

"I know, but where did the soldiers come from?" Thorpe was upset

"Your Majesty, use Helin's palace guards. There are still 10,000 palace guards there, and 5,000 palace guards will be recruited, plus some tribal troops. There will be palace guards in the formation. These tribal troops will definitely not If you dare to disagree, even slaves can go into battle with arms. A few years ago, the group of slaves we trained still had a certain fighting power on the battlefield. To attack, attack, and then attack Gaoyuan's main force is in Hetao. In this direction, he will never take it lightly, because there is his foundation there, and in the direction of Liaoning Wei, he has only He Lanxiong's group army, and the strength is not enough. There are more than 30,000 people, including Agu Wynn, only in the early 40,000s, and it is hard to say how powerful Agu Wynn's soldiers and horses are when they face the palace guards."

"He Lanxiong and Meng Chong are both Gao Yuan's confidant generals. If we want to attack in the direction of Liaoning Wei, who should lead the army? Should we transfer Alundai or Usu Suotan?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend Yu Wenke"

"Yuwenke?" Thorpe couldn't help but change his face and said angrily: "The defeat of Hetao began with Yuwenke. At the beginning, the Eastern Conqueror Army did not have a firm foothold in Hetao. If Yuwenke could defeat the Eastern Conqueror Army at that time, how come today?" The dilemma?"

"Your Majesty, Yu Wenke almost succeeded. His failure was not a crime of war. It can only be said that his luck was too bad. Under the circumstances at that time, who knew that Gao Yuan's reinforcements would arrive suddenly ?The strategy of Yu Wenke at that time was reviewed again and again by the king, including Yan Qi and other generals, and there was indeed no problem at all. Otherwise, why did the king think that Yu Wenke and his son were sentenced to death and just cast them aside? And in At that time, under the situation of being surrounded by the East Conquering Army on several sides, it was not easy for Yu Wenke and his son to fight a **** road to escape! Please ask the king to use Yu Wenke again. This talent is not comparable to that of Alun Dai Yes, not to mention Usu Suotan, who has rarely fought a big battle, so the comparison is more important. At this time, the king uses Yu Wenke again.

"Do you want to call the palace guards from the Holy Land?" Thorpe asked suddenly

"Your Majesty, between the white mountains and the black waters, bandits have come and gone over the past year. , Thousands of people have been gathered together. If the palace guards there are transferred away, how can the holy land be preserved? There are countless generations of ancestors of the royal family resting in peace. Besides, where is the palace guards left? It is a last resort When I retreat to my hometown, I won’t be at a loss.” Tuludao

Thorpe stared at Tulu. He never imagined that this senior official had already thought that one day, he would return to the place where the Donghu people originated.

"This king will never lose this war." He waved his fist viciously, "Just as you said, Tiao Yuwenke was appointed as the general of the East Road, commanded the five thousand palace guards, and recruited tribal troops and slaves at the same time Armed with 20,000 people, under his overall command, attack in the direction of Liaoning Wei. If He Lanxiong can't be defeated, if he can't take Agu Wynn's head back, and if he can't take back Liaoning Wei, then he won't have to come back."

"The king is wise!"

"Also, transfer Yu Wenke's son Yu Wenming to the king's side as his personal guard. At the same time, Yu Wenke's family must strengthen control, Tulu, do you understand what I mean? Agu Wynn's rebellion must not Repeat it again."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yu Wenke and Zhengdong Army have a deep hatred, and his brother Yuwen Chui died in the hands of Zhengdong Army. In that battle, among the Yuwen clan, countless people died in battle. Agu will vote Yu Wenke will definitely not conquer the Eastern Army." Tulu bowed. "Yu Wenming is a general, why not put him on the front line to fight, my lord, the Yuwen tribe doesn't have many soldiers anymore, they can only rely on the king , there is no other way to go, so there is no need to conscript Yu Wenming, as long as the family members of Yuwen's family stay in Helin."

Thorpe thought for a moment, then nodded, "Then do as Shoufu said!"

Just as Tulu said, Yu Wenke hated the East Conquering Army deeply. In the first Battle of Hetao, Yu Wenyi’s backbone force was almost completely lost. Only he and his son Yu Wenming were the only generals who dared to fight. He escaped back, but because of this big defeat, Thorpe threw him away in a rage. In fact, it seems that his failure is lighter than Yan Qi's failure. At least, he still has He fled back with some troops, but Yan Qi was completely wiped out.

Yan Qi's failure made Yu Wenke heartbroken, but it also gave him hope for a comeback. There are not many generals who can fight in Donghu. During the two years that he was cast aside and idle, Yu Wenke did One thing, after several years of studying the fighting methods of the Zhengdong Army, he has gained quite a lot. He has also done some detailed understanding of the generals under the Zhengdong Army. , analyzing everything in detail, he patiently waited for Thorpe to call him again.

His patience finally paid off. When Thorpe's royal order was delivered to him, Yu Wenke hardly had any delay. Putting on his horse and leaving the mansion, the officials who were going to deliver the order were shocked, as if Yu Wenke had been waiting for this moment every day.

When Yu Wenke started to rectify the troops in Helin and prepared to attack the Liaoning Guard, He Lanxiong, Meng Chong, and Agu Huai'en were also standing on the city wall of the Liaoning Guard, watching the soldiers reinforce the Liaoning Guard. The defense of the city wall, this will be the logistics base for them to attack the Donghu base camp, so naturally they cannot relax in the slightest. And at this time, they still have to wait for the order from Zhengdong Mansion. The next step is whether to attack Yulin or go straight to Helin. At this moment, none of the three of them thought that Yu Wenke's army had set out from Helin and rushed towards them. (To be continued)
