Chapter 1717 Joy

"King Togude, don't be so sullen. We should be happy that the matter is resolved." After Tiehe said something that could make Togude angry to death, he discussed some details with him. Half an hour later, , Tuogu just left.

Not long after Tuogude left, the sound of cattle horns sounded outside the king's tent.

Moo moo!

The low and melodious voice spread throughout half of the camp. After hearing this, the soldiers rushed outside the king's tent.

After the people were almost gathered, Aqimo personally announced: "The Khan of Heaven ordered us to break camp and return to Dayong in three days to celebrate the Witch God Festival. With the blessing of the Witch God, the soldiers and people of Dayong will be blessed and prosperous!"

The mess had been left to Tuogude, and Tiehe wanted to set off as soon as possible to prevent the soldiers from rebelling.

After hearing this, the generals of the army couldn't believe their ears. They were stunned for a moment. After Aqimo read the order of the Khan again, the generals of the army reacted and burst into deafening cheers: " Huhuhu, Tiankhan ordered, we can go back to Dayong to celebrate the Witch God Festival!"

"The Khan of Heaven decrees that we can return to Dayong to celebrate the Witch God Festival!"

"The Khan of Heaven decrees that we can return to Dayong to celebrate the Witch God Festival!"

The soldiers were jubilant and kept running and shouting. In less than three quarters of an hour, the news spread throughout the camp that Tian Khan was taking everyone back to Dayong to celebrate the Witch God Festival.

Even the soldiers at the insecticide camp knew about it.

After hearing this, the warriors who were infected with rot worms cried with joy: "I can go back, I can finally go back!"

As long as they return to Dayong and receive the blessing of the witch god, their illnesses will be cured.

But they thought too much. It was impossible for Tihe to bring them back to Da Rong, and Tuo Gude would not let them continue to live and let rotworm disease spread in the camp. What awaited them would be a faster death.

After the news came out that they could return to Dayong, the whole Daokou Valley was boiling. The warriors didn't even want to stand guard anymore. They sang, danced, drank and ate meat in the camp.

The most violent ones were the tribal warriors of King Arman. They got drunk and ranted to the female slave camp to torment the girls they had snatched from Dachu. The riot was so severe that dozens of them miscarried due to pregnancy. Died from hemorrhage.

The soldiers turned a blind eye to this and continued to have fun. Some even complained: "The slave girl Jianchu is good-looking, but she is too weak and cannot stand it without sleeping. No wonder the old man can't stand it." The ancestors set a rule that children born to cheap Chu women are not allowed to enter the army, lest they are too weak and ruin the breed of our Rong warriors."

…

There was too much noise in the Rong camp in Daokougou, and it was quickly reported to General Xu by Lang Qianhu.

General Xu is a smart man. From last year to now, he has fought against Rong Bing several times, so he is familiar with Rong Bing’s temperament. Hearing this, his eyes lit up and he said: “I’m afraid Tie He won’t be able to hold on any longer and will withdraw his troops back to Rong Realm. "

"Seriously?!" Lang Qianhu was also excited when he heard this, and his eyes were red: "If these beasts can escape, God will bless us."

In this battle, it looks like they are driving the Rong people away. In fact, from last year to now, the Chu soldiers will have suffered heavy losses. Although they claim to have an army of hundreds of thousands, they now have less than 400,000 troops under their command. Almost two people have died in the battle. One hundred thousand people.

If the Rong people don't leave, even if the poisonous insects stop them, Da Chu will still be in danger.

Xu You was also very excited. He walked back and forth in the Chinese army's main account. After a moment to calm down, he said: "Continue to explore and see if Rong Zeitian Khan really wants to withdraw his troops?!"

The Rong bandits attach great importance to the Witch God Festival. Their festival is coming soon. The reason why the camp is so joyful must be because they are withdrawing their troops and returning to the Rong territory to celebrate the festival.

"Yes!" Lang Qianhu left and went to investigate the situation in person.

Three days later, news finally came to Lang Qianhu that Rong Zeitian Khan had worshiped the witch god and led his troops back to Dayong.

When General Xu and other generals heard the news, they all burst into cheers.

Vice General Ma patted the table and said, "These beasts are finally gone!"

From last year to this year, this group of beasts killed their soldiers almost to extinction.

Seeing how happy everyone was, Lang Qianhu paused and reported truthfully: "Not all the soldiers have withdrawn. There are still a large number of soldiers left in Daokou ditch. It is estimated that they do not want to give up the three cities they occupied."

boom!

General Chen punched the sand table and cursed: "I know these beasts won't really leave. They want to come back after the festival."

General Chen always remembered the bitter battle last year under the command of Duke Xing. Tens of thousands of his troops were killed and only a thousand or so were left. Therefore, he deeply hated the Rong people. At this moment, he suggested to Xu You: "General Xu, Rong thieves There must not be many soldiers and horses left behind, we have hundreds of thousands of people, kill them with poisonous insects, and take back the three cities in one go!"

Ke Xu You disagreed and asked him: "General Chen, you are also a veteran. Do you think we can hold the city after we kill tens of thousands of soldiers and take it back? With the situation of our army, can we continue?" A big war?”

this?

General Chen was asked.

The soldiers were so fierce that even if they fought desperately and recaptured the city, they could still send troops to attack the city and take it away.

But their soldiers... those from the south are not used to it yet and are not very good at fighting and need training. The people in the northwest are being killed so hard that they are almost extinct. There are even ten-year-old boys among the soldiers.

He couldn't bear to see such a young child being dragged into fighting.

Xu You said: "Put it off for a few years. In a few years, we will wait until there is an antidote that can kill the poisonous insect disease, and when our Chu State has recovered its strength and has enough supplies and soldiers to be able to sustain a big war, then we can fight again." . This will not only reduce casualties, but also protect the city."

Xu You's words are very reasonable. Any war cannot be fought by the soldiers screaming and rushing in. It requires the support of the entire court and the people. But today's Dachu really cannot sustain a war and must recuperate.

"The general is right, it's the junior general who is stupid." General Chen said.

But he didn't know that Xu You was actually doing it for himself by not leading troops to attack at this moment.

Emperor Jingyuan liked to kill donkeys the most. He could even kill the loyal Duke Wei. If he drove the bandits out of Chu, he would be the next one to be killed.

As long as the Rong thief remained in the territory of Dachu, Emperor Jingyuan had to continue to give him power, supplies, and keep him alive.

"Brother Xu, I heard that the bandits have withdrawn?!" General Dai heard the news and called Wu Mang to come with him. He rushed directly to the main account to ask Xu You.

Seeing Xu You nodding, he cried with joy: "Wow, wow, great, great, we finally won!"

Oh my god, he can finally return to the Ministry of War alive to be a minister and live a normal life.

Wu Mang looked at Xu You, feeling a little sad in his heart. Not only was this Xu You capable of fighting, but even God helped him, and the bandits actually withdrew on their own.

but……

"Xu You, the army has fled. This is a good time to conquer the city. After the army has arrived for a few days, we will send troops to attack Daokougou and take back Longshan Mansion and three other cities."

"Ah? We still want to fight? We can't fight anymore. If we fight again, the bodies will be buried." General Dai was scared to death. Too many people died in this battle. He didn't want to see the soldiers die in droves again. It was too scary. .

Seeing that General Dai was afraid, Xu You felt happy and repeated what he said to General Chen with a solemn face.

Wu Mang frowned.

General Dai said: "Brother Xu is right, we can't fight anymore, we should rest and recuperate!"

Wu Mang was obviously not very happy, but Xu You said: "You don't have to worry, I will deliver the memorial to the emperor, and it will be up to the emperor to decide whether to fight or not."

"Hey, that's right, let's listen to the emperor." General Dai became a yes man in order to stop fighting.

Wu Mang had no choice but to agree temporarily.

The news that the soldiers had withdrawn quickly spread throughout the camp. The Dachu soldiers were filled with joy, crying and laughing, and sang slang folk songs from their hometown to celebrate.

The good news spread like the wind to all the prefectures in the northwest.

After hearing this, the people in all prefectures were all crazy with joy, especially Long'an Prefecture and Xing'an Prefecture, which had been severely harmed by the soldiers. After the people heard the news that the soldiers had withdrawn, they poured into the streets to celebrate.
