Chapter 499 Tuoba Hui: A Common Man Misled Me
When all the officials in the Imperial Study Room saw Tuo Bahui getting angry, they all lowered their heads. Such a big thing had happened, and they were afraid that Tuo Bahui would implicate their anger. The whole Imperial Study Room could hear it at this moment.
After a long while, Tuo Bahui calmed down, looked at the chief officer of the Ministry of War, and said in a deep voice: "Qing Wei, what do you think?"
The chief officer of the Ministry of War took a step forward, raised his hands and said: "Great Khan, I just heard from this person that the main reason why the Eastern Route Army was defeated was that Chen Jun had a powerful weapon called "Strange Thunder". I don't know what this strange thunder is." What?"
Hearing this, Tuo Bahui also focused on the "strange thunder" mentioned in the details by the person who sent the battle report.
He looked at the man.
The man said in a panic: "This thing sounds as loud as thunder, but it can emit fire, so we call it strange thunder. When this thing attacks, it will bring out a line of fire in the sky. The sound is terrifying and can make war horses Frightened, he lost control and was unable to move forward. As a result, the morale of the army was in chaos, allowing Chen Jun to take the advantage. "
"Is it some kind of magical power?" An official couldn't help but ask.
Since ancient times, many people have practiced the thunder method and adopted the thunder method as innate spiritual energy. After entering the realm of supernatural powers, they can naturally use the thunder method and magical power.
However, although this kind of magical power is terrifying, like all magical power realm warriors, the innate spiritual energy consumed to release the magical power is very large and cannot be released for a long time, but it does not pose much of a threat.
The person who reported it shook his head: "No, both the prince and the general said that there is no trace of the fluctuation of the innate spiritual energy on this strange thunder, but there is a strong smell of sulfur."
"Sulfur? Isn't that medicine?" someone at home said, an official from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
"Then what does this strange thunder look like?" asked the chief officer of the Ministry of War.
"I have seen two types of strange thunder." The person who reported the report pondered for a while and said: "One kind of strange thunder is a round black ball, and the other is the same as an ordinary clay pot. The same thing is that after landing, It will explode, and it is so powerful that even rattan armor cannot protect it. If it is hit, it will be seriously injured, or it will be killed directly, and even the body will not be intact. "
After the words fell, most of the officials' expressions changed, thinking about what this strange thunder was.
But even though they are very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, they have never heard of a description of this thing from the books they have read, from the stories told by others, or even from some strange stories.
All the officials looked worried about this unknown thing.
The chief officer of the Ministry of War asked Wei Lei because he wanted to try to find a way to deal with it so that he could answer Tuo Bahui's question.
But for this kind of thing that he had never heard of or seen in his life, he had no clue or countermeasures. He had to change his mind and said: "Great Khan, since the Eastern Front has been completely defeated, the top priority is to strengthen the defense of other passes to prevent the Song Army. Invading our Jinxia border and harming our people.”
The words of the chief officer of the Ministry of War made all the officials react.
You know, this time the troops were divided to attack the Song Dynasty, but a total of 150,000 troops were dispatched. This was all the operational troops and horses in the country.
What do you mean by all your operational troops?
It’s not that Jin Xia’s army only had 150,000 people.
It is an army that can launch war at any time, in addition to garrisoning the capital, guarding the border, and some local troops used to stabilize the situation.
You know, Jinxia is composed of dozens of tribes, large and small.
Although these tribes were all conquered by the Tuoba tribe, they respected Tuoba as their leader and obeyed Tuoba's orders.
However, some tribes are unwilling to accept it. It's just that the Tuoba tribe is currently strong and has to surrender.
The Tuoba Department also understood that the imperial troops stationed in the capital must not be moved.
Also, although Gaoliao was destroyed, it had only been less than two years, and the territory still remembered the old owner, so the border troops stationed in this territory could not move.
As a result, the eastern front was defeated, and the border between Jinxia and Song Dynasty was in danger.
It's okay if the director of the Ministry of War didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Tuo Bahui's suppressed anger came back again.
Tamerlane, Yelv Tongku, a common man, incompetent.
I was mistaken! A common man mistook me.
The emotions of violence, anger, and shame were all in Tuo Bahui's heart.
Tuoba Hui was angry in his heart, but he still had to forcefully maintain his composure and said in a deep voice: "I will issue an order later, ordering Yelu Hongqi to lead 10,000 forbidden troops, Beidi to send 10,000 troops, and additional troops to Haiyan Pass."
Beidi was one of the many tribes in Jinxia. Whether it was attacking Gaoliao or the Song Dynasty, Beidi sent the least amount of troops.
It is one of those tribes that are unwilling to accept it.
The tribes most loyal to Tuoba tribe include Yelu tribe, Wanyan tribe, Timur's Tuotu tribe, etc.
Haiyan Pass is the border between Jin Xia and Song Dynasty.
The reason why Tuo Bahui asked Beidi to send troops was to test what Beidi would do after learning that the Eastern Front was defeated.
All the officials felt that Tuo Bahui's arrangement was more appropriate and nodded.
At this time, the head of the household department stepped forward and said: "Great Khan, since the entire eastern front has been defeated, it may be difficult to achieve success in attacking the Song Dynasty. Should we order General Xia Ji to lead his army to withdraw first?"
"No."
The chief officer of the Ministry of War objected, and then said: "General Xia Ji has arrived at Yuzhou of the Song Dynasty, which is the home base of Chen Army. If General Wanyan is allowed to withdraw his troops at this moment, it will undoubtedly give Chen Army no worries and drive Chen Army to invade. Hai Yan Pass.
Also, although the eastern front has been completely defeated, the western front led by General Xia Ji has won all the way. If General Xia Ji captures Yuzhou, the Khan can order the border troops of Haiyan Pass to move south immediately. With the pincer attack from both sides, it may not be impossible to reverse the current defeat. "
"How to deal with Chen Jun's strange thunder?" asked the chief officer of the Ministry of Revenue.
As the head of the Ministry of Revenue, he is in charge of the national finances and has different considerations from the Ministry of War. Fighting is the most expensive thing, which is undoubtedly the greatest pressure on him. In the current situation, he naturally hopes that the war can be suspended first.
"This"
The chief officer of the Ministry of War was speechless and had to look at Tuoba Hui, waiting for him to make a decision.
Tuoba Hui thought for a while and said, "Let's follow Wei Qing's opinion. "
After all, the attack on the Song Dynasty was led by him. If it ends in such a disgraceful way, what will the tribes think of him, and what will the people of the world think of him.
Perhaps he will become a laughing stock of the world.
...
On the other side, in the Khatun's bedroom.
Wanyan Ya is trying on clothes in front of a half-meter-high floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror.
The customs and culture of Jinxia are more "open" than those of the Song Dynasty, so she tries on clothes in her bedroom.
Wanyan Ya takes off her clothes directly in front of the bronze mirror.
The plump wheat-colored body releases a temptation that makes people dry their mouths.
The beautiful face always reveals a charm like a fairy, the slender neck, and the upright fruit under the collarbone exude a healthy and energetic breath, tempting people to pick and taste.
