Hu Erhan was the same. His luck was not very good.
When he killed a Qin cavalryman, he was seen by Luo Rong. Luo Rong was enraged, and he wanted to tear him apart alive on the spot. In the end, he was stopped by his personal guards. A few Dragon Cavalrymen took aim and fired three shots. Two hit his legs, and one hit his head, smashing his head into pieces.
Luo Rong was still angry that he could not avenge his soldiers with his own hands.
But it was clear that the defeat of the Jianzhou army was an objective fact. After about an hour, the Jianzhou army collapsed and began to flee in all directions. The lucky ones escaped, and the unlucky ones died on the spot. Many people chose to cross the Hun River to escape. Ma Chong immediately arranged for the soldiers to fire into the Hun River.
Some of the lucky ones escaped towards Yehe's territory.
Most of them fled in the direction of Hetuala, but they were chased by the Qin cavalry. Corpses littered the mountains and plains, and at least 10,000 or so people died here. Some were captured, while the rest escaped. The Qin army did not continue to chase after them.
Liao Zhong's military order was not to chase them too hard. They should retreat when appropriate, and not to weaken the Jianzhou army too much.
Luo Rong and Ma Chong completed their mission well, but they were very unhappy. The White Tiger Battalion lost 427 people, the Battle Wolf Battalion lost 396 people, and more than 2,000 people were injured. The first victory of the Liaodong Army made up of the White Tiger Battalion and the Battle Wolf Battalion did not bring Luo Rong and Ma Chong much joy.
After they retreated, they kept harassing Liao Zhong. Why didn't they go one step further and annihilate the Jianzhou army? Wouldn't that be more straightforward?
Liao Zhong was annoyed and directly showed Xiao Ruxun's imperial edict.
Xiao Ruxun did not advocate using simple military means to deal with the three Jurchen factions. Instead, he wanted to use a more straightforward and thorough method to annex them. Now, if these millions of Jurchen were pushed to the opposite side, it would be a big burden for the Daqin. The Daqin did not have the financial resources to launch an all-out war at the moment.
As long as they were beaten senseless, the rest could be obtained through political means. The army should not be too involved in this matter.
Ma Chong and Luo Rong looked at each other and decided not to make a fuss.
The Emperor was the most powerful.
This was originally Xiao Ruxun's plan. Compared with using the army to destroy the Jurchen, he preferred to destroy them in a more thorough way. Military means were too costly. At present, the main energy of the Daqin was focused on the internal construction and had no spare energy and financial resources to launch a war in Liaodong.
After that, it was time for Chu Ying to take the stage.
In the war between the Jianzhou Army and the Nine Tribes Allied Forces, the Jianzhou Army won and the Nine Tribes Allied Forces suffered heavy losses. After the news that the Liaodong Corps had directly interfered and annihilated more than 10,000 Jianzhou Army soldiers reached the capital, Xiao Ruxun knew it immediately.
Although he was very angry with Nurhachi for attacking the Qin Army, but Xiao Ruxun did not order the Liaodong Corps to annihilate the Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe.
It was easy to annihilate them, but it was not easy to end the hostility of nearly a million Female Zhenrens. One mistake could drag Liaodong into the quagmire of war. This was not Xiao Ruxun's original intention. Xiao Ruxun wanted to wipe them all out, not eat less but eat more.
It was the best way to let them die in the hands of their own people.
It was time to use Chu Ying as a chess piece.
Therefore, Xiao Ruxun sent people to the military camp to spread the news of the war in Liaodong. When Chu Ying learned about it, he was shocked and immediately went to the capital to see Xiao Ruxun. To his surprise, Xiao Ruxun refused to see him, which made Chu Ying feel that the situation was even worse. So, he simply knelt at the gate of the palace and asked to see Xiao Ruxun. Once again, he showed his spirit of pestering.
Eight hours later, Xiao Ruxun still "reluctantly met" Chu Ying.
Then, without saying a word, he threw a battle report in front of Chu Ying and asked him to read it.
Chu Ying picked up the battle report in a hurry. When he saw the line of words that the Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe took the initiative to attack the Daqin Army, his face turned pale.
"Adoptive father … this … my father didn't mean it! There must be a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding! "
Chu Ying hurriedly explained.
"Misunderstanding? More than eight hundred of my soldiers died in Liaodong, but you tell me it's a misunderstanding? Chu Ying, isn't your father a little too presumptuous? Do you think he dares to do whatever he wants just because I dote on you? He even dares to look down on me and the Daqin Army? "
Xiao Ruxun's harsh words made Chu Ying tremble with fear.
"Adoptive father … this … this isn't …"
"Too presumptuous! It's really too presumptuous! Chu Ying, for your sake, I gave your father the best treatment, gave him the recognition of the imperial court, and sheltered him on behalf of the Daqin Imperial Court. Among the three Jurchen tribes, only he received my edict, but he actually dared to take the initiative to attack the Daqin Army. He simply has no respect for the monarch! "
Fearing that Xiao Ruxun would say that he would send an army to exterminate the Jurchen Tribe in Jianzhou, he hurriedly said, "Adoptive father, I'm willing to go to Jianzhou and let my father come to the capital to apologize to Your Majesty! I beg Godfather to forgive my father! My father was just too impulsive! "
"Impulsive? Impulsive enough to make me lose more than eight hundred soldiers? How could I have the face to see their parents? How can I tell their parents that their son is already dead? Let me forgive him? Go and ask those eight hundred old couples if they are willing to forgive your father! "
Xiao Ruxun threw the pen in his hand in front of Chu Ying. Chu Ying directly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please give my father a chance! Adoptive father! Chu Ying, please forgive my father this time! But this time! "
Chu Ying shouted and cried at the same time, looking as if he was hoarse.
After a long time, Xiao Ruxun finally spoke.
"For the sake of our many years of father-son relationship, I'll give your father one last chance. Go to Jianzhou to find your father and discuss the compensation measures. Then, let your father come to the capital to apologize. If he dares not to come and apologize, see how I'll deal with him! How I'll deal with Jianzhou! "
After saying that, Xiao Ruxun chased Chu Ying out.
Chu Ying returned home in a daze and was greeted by Madam Ma.
"What's wrong? Why are you like this? "
Chu Ying sighed and shook his head.
"Prepare some luggage for me. I need to go back to Jianzhou. Something happened in Jianzhou, and I need to go back to deal with it."
"Something happened? Is it serious? Do you need me to accompany you? "
Madam Ma hurriedly asked with concern.
"There's no need. It's a long journey and it's not safe. It's safer for you to stay in the capital. I'll go back alone. I'll be back soon after I'm done. Two months will be enough."
Madam Ma pursed her lips and nodded.
Chu Ying was very anxious. That afternoon, he went to the military camp to apply for leave. After getting approval, he rode a horse and prepared to set off with a convoy the next morning.
In the end, he saw that Madam Ma had finished her preparations and was sitting in one of the carriages.
"My husband is going to travel a thousand miles. How can I let him go and not care about you? Let me go with you! "
Chu Ying immediately felt tears welling up in his eyes.
"It's my blessing to have a wife like you. Forget it, let's just treat it as meeting my in-laws! I'll also introduce my family to you. After all, we're a family. "
