Chapter 503 Recovering Lost Territory
Chapter 503 Recovering Lost Territory
Wanyan Qingtian was finally moved by Song Yi. He returned to the Tiezhen Imperial Court and tried to persuade the emperor to send troops again to take back the city of Baruxishi.
Perhaps we can take advantage of the situation to recover all lost territory.
Wanyan Wufeng and Wanyan Wuji looked at Wanyan Qingtian, whose mouth was full of foam, with a puzzled look on their faces.
How come this usually steady guy seems so excited?
"How do you know that Lin Feng won't come back?"
Wanyan Wuji finally got a chance to ask the questions in his mind.
Emperor Wanyan Wufeng also followed up with questions.
"Given Lin Feng's strength, can you guarantee that he won't come back for revenge?"
Wanyan Qingtian had been brainwashed by Song Yi and replied confidently.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, think about it, Lin Feng is quite powerful. Why would such a powerful guy suddenly withdraw his troops?"
The two of them stared at him, waiting for what to say next without blinking.
Wanyan Qingtian waved his hand and said, "Because he encountered a difficult situation, something that made him feel very embarrassed."
The two men showed disdain on their faces and thought to themselves, do you need to tell me this? If nothing happens, this is the chance for a great victory. Will Lin Feng withdraw his troops?
"The problem Lin Feng encountered is difficult for him to resolve in a short period of time, so he gave up this great opportunity and returned to Zhenxi."
"you sure?"
"I've already sent people to investigate all the way south of Dadur City, but I haven't seen any large-scale troops."
Wanyan Qingtian didn't wait for the two to ask any more questions and continued.
"Also, the spies in Zhenxi have reported that Lin Feng led his troops to the capital. The details are still under investigation."
Wanyan Wuji frowned and said, "Perhaps it's a civil strife in the clan, involving Zhenxi."
Wanyan Qingtian clapped his hands and said, "Yes, the internal strife in the clan has been going on for more than a year or two. How can Lin Feng resolve the internal strife in such a short time?"
Wanyan Wufeng turned around and asked Wanyan Wuji.
"What do you think?"
Wanyan Wuji suggested: "Royal brother, let's see how the Left Prime Minister judges this matter."
Wanyan Wufeng thought for a while and said, "Let Wusa come to see me."
Wusara was a very experienced man. When he heard Wanyan Qingtian's suggestion, he frowned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Wanyan Wufeng was inclined to use military force to recapture the two cities.
Since Lin Feng withdrew his troops, there were less than 5,000 men in the city. By taking this opportunity, they could not only recover the lost territory but also save a large amount of compensation.
With one positive and one negative, he made a fortune.
Wusara's eyes moved back and forth, and he had been observing the emperor for a while.
He accurately grasped Wanyan Wufeng's thoughts.
Wusara has been the prime minister for many years because of his real ability. He can understand the emperor's intentions clearly, and he can also provide theoretical basis for the emperor's decisions and work backwards.
"Your Majesty, I believe we must send troops to reclaim the two cities."
He concluded, then continued, "First, Baru Xisi and Dadur are our Tiezhen territory. How can we allow others to interfere? Secondly, Lin Feng is embroiled in the civil war in the Dazong court and won't be back for a while. By the time he returns, we'll have recovered. If we fight again, it's hard to say who will win or lose."
"Thirdly, we, the Tiezhen royal family, must re-establish our royal prestige among the various tribes..."
Wusara spoke loudly, and everyone nodded frequently.
Wanyan Wufeng felt refreshed from head to toe, just like drinking a glass of ice water in the hot summer.
"What the old prime minister said makes a lot of sense. I think so too, hahaha..."
After everyone laughed with the emperor for a while, Wanyan Wufeng glanced at everyone.
"Well, which of you will go and reclaim our Tiezhen territory this time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.
Wanyan Wufeng was helpless and turned his gaze to Wusare again.
The old prime minister knew that he couldn't hide, so he coughed.
"Ahem, in my opinion, we should get up where we fell. Let Wanyan Anxu lead the troops again. With this victory, we can restore his confidence."
Everyone was thinking about it secretly.
Ever since Wanyan Anxu returned from his defeat, he has been devastated and has been drinking all day to drown his sorrows, completely losing his former charm.
But Wanyan Wufeng liked his nephew very much, and he felt pain in his heart when he saw it.
Wusara's proposal made him very happy.
"That makes sense. The old Prime Minister is worthy of being the pillar of my Tiezhen. I am very fortunate to have your help."
After saying that, he glanced at Wanyan Qingtian who looked a little disappointed.
"In this case, I will appoint Wanyan Anxu as the general manager, and Wanyan Qingtian as the deputy general manager. They will lead 10,000 troops to recapture the Tiezhen territory. On the day of your triumphant return, I will hold a grand banquet to celebrate your victory."
The emperor spoke and the matter was settled.
Three days later, Wanyan Anxu and Wanyan Qingtian led 10,000 cavalrymen out of the imperial city.
Emperor Wanyan Wufeng led all the civil and military officials in the court to escort him to the city gate.
His deep feelings made all the ministers feel sad.
Looking at the vast grassland, Wanyan Anxu's mood eased a little.
The handsome man who used to be handsome and handsome now looked pale with an abnormal blush on his face.
Because he still had a wineskin in his hand and took a sip from it from time to time.
Wanyan Qingtian rode his horse behind him, looking at his swaying figure, feeling worried.
The emperor insisted on letting this man lead the troops to war without considering his condition?
In order to restore Wanyan Anxu's personal mood, the entire army was used to play with him.
Is there any justice?
No matter how Wanyan Qingtian criticized him in his heart, the other party had a higher status than him and was closer to the emperor, so no matter what he said, it was useless.
Ten thousand cavalrymen marched very quickly.
Within three days, they were close to the city of Baruxishi.
Tao Jinwang has fully recovered, but he is worried that he will regret letting Wanyan Qingtian enter the city and exposing Lin Feng's withdrawal.
Who knows, the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.
A soldier came to report that the Tartar army of 10,000 had reached a position more than 200 miles outside the city.
Tao Jinwang was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
We shouldn't have let those Tartars into the city in the first place.
In fact, he didn't think it through. Even if he didn't let the Tartars enter the city, they would have known about Lin Feng's withdrawal.
Deliberately covering up the truth only makes the Tartars feel guilty.
The Tatars have an army of 10,000, and it is obvious that they are not here to negotiate.
Tao Jinwang had no choice but to give the order to abandon the city of Baruxishi and prepare to defend the city of Dadur to the death.
There were only two thousand soldiers in the city. If their retreat was cut off by the Tartars, even the city of Dadur would be lost.
Lin Feng made it clear when he left.
Baru Xisi can retreat, but the city of Dadur must be defended.
With only two thousand defenders, a city must be abandoned.
Tao Jinwang reluctantly gave the order to pack up and begin withdrawing from the south of the city.
Actually, there is nothing to clean up.
When Tao Jinwang passed by the command post designated by Lin Feng, he dismounted and entered the courtyard.
He has blocked the area with ropes and forbids anyone from approaching.
Outside the rope, he bowed towards the room where Lin Feng was in charge.
There was also a large sign of the General’s Command hanging at the door of the house.
"General Lin, I, Tao Jinwang, have failed to live up to your trust. Now I have no choice but to give up Baru Xishi. Please forgive me."
After the worship, I wanted to go up and take the big sign down and take it away.
