!!
The elder wanted to protect him. After all, he was a descendant of the Tai-shu Clan. Most importantly, he had not done anything wrong. Bringing up the rear was a suicide mission. It was not easy for him to survive. Even if he had not done anything meritorious, he had worked hard.
However, Gao Pin had spoken to this extent in front of a group of generals. What else could he say? If they were to protect him in front of everyone, wouldn't that disappoint the other generals?
He could see that Gao Pin was taking the opportunity to make an example out of him. He was going to kill him for the generals and the other cultivators to see. He was going to let the other cultivators see the consequences of abandoning the general and escaping without permission. Even the descendants of the Taishu family would not be spared!
If Gao Pin did this, no one could do anything to him. After reporting it, the Emperor would not do anything to Gao Pin, and the Cloud Tool Sect would not say anything bad about Gao Pin either. They might even be afraid that Gao Pin would feel uneasy. In order to appease Gao Pin, they would even say that Gao Pin had done a good job, and that military discipline should be strictly enforced!
The three slopes were refortified.
Huyan Wuhen was also waiting for Gao Pin to take advantage of the situation to pursue and kill him. However, after Gao Pin had reclaimed the three slopes, he did not have the slightest intention of taking advantage of the situation to attack. Regardless of whether the Qi army's morale was low, or whether the Qi army's personnel structure had been disrupted, resulting in a huge drop in combat power, he was holed up in the three slopes. He was not greedy for achievements, nor did he seek to advance. He would defend this place to the death. If Gao Pin dared to advance again, then he would give it a try.
In the end, Huyan Wuhen withdrew his troops and ordered all of the Qi troops to retreat back to the borders of Qi. This was a strategic retreat.
Along the way, Huyan Wuhen revealed a lot of flaws, hoping to attract the Jin army to attack. However, the high-ranks had given a strict order that all the defensive lines should stay put, and no one was allowed to attack without permission. No matter how fat the meat was, no one was allowed to bite. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be beheaded!
Even though the Qi army had retreated and given up a large part of Wei's territory, Gao Pin still refused to take advantage of the situation and occupy it. The Qi army had left, but he still wanted the Jin army to stay at the original defense line and not move. What he did was insane!
In the end, even the Jin Nation imperial court could not stand it anymore. They were being a little too careful. This was not a war, this was clearly a coward. Many people in the imperial court criticized, wanting to urge the high-ranks to quickly seize the opportunity to occupy.
However, Gao Pin did not budge under pressure. He stuck to his original strategic determination.
With what he had done, Huyan Wuhen had no choice but to return resentfully, because he really couldn't find an opportunity to strike. The high ranks didn't even give him the slightest chance.
Gao Pin's steadiness was comparable to Korea's steady Sima Jinjue.
When the Qi army had completely retreated into the Kingdom of Qi's borders, and the two armies were a distance away from each other, Gao Pin gave the order to abandon the original line of defense, and the entire army marched north. Without wasting any effort, without losing a single soldier, they completely occupied Wei's territory.
This was all in the future. To the Jin Nation, it was a great victory, a great victory at the Three Paths Slope that made the entire Jin Nation excited!
Both sides had gathered a million soldiers to fight on a mere three-pronged slope. Gao Pin had used 300,000 defending troops to block the attack of 800,000 allied troops from Qi and Wei. He had dealt a heavy blow to the allied troops, annihilating more than 200,000 allied troops with a loss of less than 20,000 men. It was a classic example of fighting an outnumbered army. It was a beautiful fight!
Moreover, he had killed the general and seized the flag. The world-famous Valiant Cavalry's flag had fallen into the hands of the Jin army. Huyan Wuhen's eldest son, Huyan Bao, had also died in the hands of the Jin army.
More importantly, the invincible legend of the Valiant Cavalry that deterred the three Western countries was shattered. The Valiant Cavalry had lost more than 30,000 riders in this battle!
The last 100,000 men of the Kingdom of Wei were almost completely annihilated. There were less than a thousand men left. The Kingdom of Wei only existed in name.
When the news reached the Jin Nation, the whole nation was in jubilation. The Jin Emperor, Tai-shu Xiong, was overjoyed when he received the Valiant Cavalry's flag from the frontline. He hung it in the imperial court in public. As long as the Kingdom of Qi was not destroyed, it would be hung like this to humiliate the Kingdom of Qi. At the same time, he ordered a generous reward for the soldiers who participated in the battle at the Three Paths Slope.
However, to Gao Pin, there was still regret in this battle. The advantageous opportunity that he had painstakingly created could not be expanded. According to his estimation, at least 100,000 more men and horses of the Kingdom of Qi had to be annihilated. However, Huyan Wuhen was indeed a veteran on the battlefield. He was rich in experience and managed to stabilize the routed army in time, preventing the landslide of the army from expanding!
If not for this, Gao Pin might really have taken advantage of the situation and ordered his army to kill them!
When the news of the defeat reached the Kingdom of Qi, everyone in the Kingdom of Qi was in a state of panic. Even Huyan Wuhen had been defeated? Huyan Wuhen's son had died in battle? Could the Kingdom of Qi still withstand the attack of the Kingdom of Jin?
Emperor Qi's Vast Cloud Map's heart was heavy. Faced with Huyan Wuhen's apology memorial, he could only reply that victory and defeat were common in war!
At this time, it was impossible to punish Huyan Wuhen for his crimes, and he could not find a better person to replace Huyan Wuhen.
Vast Cloud Map was also a little regretful. He should not have urged Huyan Wuhen to withdraw his troops.
However, in the face of the Kingdom of Jin's army that was once again gathering and pressing towards the Kingdom of Qi, the imperial court was also giving Vast Cloud Map a lot of pressure. The opinions of the court officials could not be said to be unreasonable.
The Kingdom of Jin was about to invade the Kingdom of Qi's territory. Huyan Wuhen, who was fighting against Gao Pin at the side of the Kingdom of Wei, was unable to take down the Kingdom of Wei for a long time. What was the point of stubbornly fighting against Gao Pin there? Since they could not win, they naturally had to withdraw their troops to deal with the Kingdom of Jin's attack on the Kingdom of Qi.
The lives of everyone in the imperial court were within the borders of the Kingdom of Qi. At this juncture, faced with the threat of their families being destroyed, the pressure of the entire imperial court was something that not many people could withstand. Huyan Wuhen had the army in his hands, so he was not afraid if something happened. However, for those who did not have the military strength to protect themselves, what would they do when the time came?
Once the situation had reached a certain point, Huyan Wuhen would prioritize the overall situation. He could abandon many people when he was far away. When that time came, everyone would have to look up to Huyan Wuhen, and they could do nothing to him. When that time came, they could only beg Huyan Wuhen. If he did not help them, they would not have any temper.
Naturally, they had to take advantage of the time when they could still exert pressure.
Naturally, they had to force Huyan Wuhen to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.
When the people in the imperial court joined forces to exert pressure, the logistics and food supply first gave Huyan Wuhen a lot of pressure.
Moreover, the interests of the three major sects of the Kingdom of Qi were also within the borders of the Kingdom of Qi. This was also a huge pressure.
Hao Yuntu could only pressure Huyan Wuhen and urge him to withdraw his troops as soon as possible in an attempt to prepare for the Jin Nation's attack within the borders of the Kingdom of Qi …
Huyan Bao received more or less different treatment from the other generals and soldiers. After all, he had contributed a lot to the Kingdom of Qi. His corpse was transported back to the Capital of Qi for a grand burial.
The Huyan family was in mourning. Huyan Wei, who was in the Capital, mourned the death of his elder brother. He cried his heart out and asked the Emperor for permission to go to the battlefield to avenge his elder brother.
The Emperor did not allow it, nor did the officials. To some people, Huyan Wei was just an idiot. He followed his elder brother and participated in the suppression of the rebellion. With his elder brother's protection, all he needed to do was play. Did he really think that he was good at fighting? Personally leading troops to fight against a high rank, was that not a joke?
The imperial court's officials rushed to the Huyan family to offer their condolences. Emperor Qi's Hao Yuntu even came in person.
This was definitely not a good moment for the Kingdom of Qi. The defeat of the Huyan father and son was like a thick layer of haze that shrouded the sky above the Kingdom of Qi. Even the business of the Kingdom of Qi's entertainment venues was not doing well. The number of people who came to visit was greatly reduced.
Many people had lost the mood. Those who were in the mood to have fun had to restrain themselves. The Kingdom of Qi had suffered a defeat. Was it appropriate to run to a life of luxury, eating, drinking, and having fun?
The so-called "Meng Shanming, Qi Wuhen" Huyan Wuhen actually suffered a defeat?
The details of the Battle of the Three Slopes suddenly became an important matter for the various countries' military to obtain and analyze. With so many people involved, the details could not be hidden.
In the Nanzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion, inside the Valiant Martial Hall, Shang Chaozong looked at the map. He stared at the topographic map of the Three Slopes for a long time.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Meng Shanming carefully read the details of the Battle of the Three Slopes. After a long time, he let go of the map and put it on the table beside him. He sighed, "This battle should not have been lost!"
Shang Chaozong also took a deep breath, "I don't know what Huyan Wuhen was thinking. It was such a long and narrow area, and it was mountainous. How could Huyan Wuhen attack with his cavalry? Even if he was confident, it was too risky!"
Meng Shanming sighed, "He had no choice. He was really pushed too hard by the high ranks. You could say that he was pushed too hard by the imperial court of the Kingdom of Qi."
Shang Chaozong asked, "Why do you say that?"
Meng Shanming said, "The army of Qi gathered a large number of troops to invade the State of Wei, especially with Huyan Wuhen leading the army. The entire State of Qi had high expectations of him. But before they could achieve anything, they were forced to retreat by the army of Jin. Even Huyan Wuhen couldn't do anything about it. The army of Jin also had the momentum of destroying the State of Wei. This had a huge impact on the morale of the State of Qi. If the Kingdom of Qi didn't have the morale to fight to the death against the Kingdom of Jin, how could they win the war? "
"In other words, how could he easily retreat before he found a good opportunity to retreat? If it were me, I would rather wait until the Kingdom of Jin invaded the Kingdom of Qi in the west. Then, I would have an excuse to retreat. It's better than retreating with the label that they can't win the war. "
"Now that the main force of the Kingdom of Qi is not returning, and the Kingdom of Jin is approaching the Kingdom of Qi, think about how the Kingdom of Qi's imperial court will react, Prince?"
Slowly, Shang Chaozong said, "Those people are worried about their own lives. They won't care so much. They will definitely urge Huyan Wuhen to retreat. The Kingdom of Qi's imperial court has always been urging them to retreat. Now that they suddenly heard that the Kingdom of Jin is gathering a large number of troops to attack, they will definitely put pressure on Huyan Wuhen. "
Meng Shanming said, "Huyan Wuhen has been in a stalemate with Gao Pin for so long. He hasn't acted rashly. Doesn't he know the danger of attacking the Three Slopes? If he didn't, why would he wait until now to attack? Gao Pin's defensive line only has the Three Slopes as a flat plain. Once it is breached, the Kingdom of Qi's advantage can be fully utilized. They can attack and defend, and they can break the Kingdom of Jin's defense from three directions at any time. They can completely disrupt the Kingdom of Jin's situation within the Kingdom of Wei. "
"The situation is clear. As long as the Kingdom of Jin can't take it anymore, they might even lose the fat piece of meat that is Wei. Jin will definitely send reinforcements to Wei. They won't have the energy to fight Qi. Qi's danger will naturally be resolved. The Kingdom of Qi's imperial court will naturally not force him to retreat. They can only support him fully. "
"After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Pin is like a turtle hiding in its shell. Huyan Wuhen was forced to take the risk out of desperation. That's why he returned with a grievance. Of course, this defeat is also related to the fact that Huyan Wuhen and the Kingdom of Qi's army are not good at fighting in the mountains. "
"Huyan Wuhen was burdened by his reputation. Gao Pin, on the other hand, got revenge for his humiliation and boosted the Kingdom of Jin's army!"
"At the end of the day, the advantage is no longer on Huyan Wuhen's side. The change in Wei has completely tilted the advantage to Jin. Jin can attack on two fronts, but Qi is in a difficult situation. Losing the advantage, Huyan Wuhen will have a hard time fighting in the future. However, fighting on the grasslands is still a piece of cake for Huyan Wuhen. It won't be easy for Jin to take advantage of him. I'm just afraid that Gao Pin will see Huyan Wuhen's weakness through Huyan Wuhen's reckless advance this time. If that happens, Huyan Wuhen will be in trouble! "
Shang Chaozong looked back at the map. "This Gao Pin has won. Huyan Wuhen has retreated far away. Until now, he's still holed up in the defense line. Interesting."
"He's using Jin Jue's fighting style. He fights steadily and strives for stability. As long as he can hold his ground, the other party may show an opening. As expected, he's seized the opportunity!" Speaking of this, Meng Shanming looked at his legs and touched them with his palms. He seemed to have thought of something.
