Zhang Jue and the others quietly watched Zhao Dongting, Kong Qiangu and the others go away.

With the masters of Kong Qiangu and Qi Wulie together, they don't have to worry about what accidents will happen to Zhao Dongting.

It's just that this time I'm separated, I don't know how long it will take to see the emperor again.

The Great Song Dynasty was restored and expanded its territory. It is inevitable that the generals will be divided into various places, and it is no longer possible for them to eat meat and drink wine in the army with the emperor as before.

It wasn't until the back of Zhao Dongting and his party disappeared that Zhang Jue ordered the army to turn around and head south to Jingzhou, Jinghu North Road.

In front of the army, messengers went ahead and reported to the cities along the way. Let the chief ruler of his city raise food.

Now there are 50,000 soldiers in the army, and the grain and grass that are not surplus are naturally tight.

Zhang Jue, Qin Xiang and Jun Tianfang sat on the chariot, and Zhang Jue was always pondering.

Seeing that he was always like this, Qin Xiang asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Zhang Jue held Qin Xiang's hand and said with a smile: "Madam, do you know what the emperor said to me when he left just now?" ”

"What?"

"The emperor said that I should set up three more forbidden armies of Tianwei, Tianjiu, and Tianhui, and when Liu Zhuwen and them capture Dali, I can probably go to the imperial city to recuperate."

Qin Xiang smiled, "This is a good thing!" ”

Zhang Jue nodded and said, "Of course it's a good thing, when I retire, I will be able to accompany you well." ”

Qin Xiang said: "Then what were you frowning and thinking just now?" ”

Zhang Jue sighed lightly, "Before I retire, someone in the army will always take over the post of marshal of the Zhennan Military Region. Moreover, the emperor also said that the Dali Military Region would be established, and the post of marshal should also be held by selecting someone from our army. I'm just wondering who is right for these two positions. ”

Qin Xiangwan'er rolled her eyes and said, "These emperors have their own spectrum in their hearts, what do you want to worry about like this?" ”

Zhang Jue couldn't cry or laugh, "If the emperor had a score in his heart, he wouldn't have told me this earlier." You wait and see, when the time comes, the marshals of the military regions, the emperor will definitely let us still nominate them. The emperor is not an ordinary emperor, his heart is as broad as the sea, and his trust in us has reached the point of no return. ”

Qin Xiang nodded lightly, and couldn't help but say deeply: "Isn't the emperor worried......

Zhang Jue raised her hand to stop her from continuing, and said, "That's why I'm cautious. The emperor treats us like this, and I can't live up to his expectations. ”

Qin Xiang nodded again and stopped talking.

Zhang Jue turned his head to look at Jun Tianfang, who had been silent beside him, and asked, "Brother Jun, which general do you think is the most able to take over my position?" ”

He and Jun Tianfang have been brothers for many years. Naturally, I am also willing to listen to Jun Tianfang's meaning.

Although Jun Tianfang doesn't know how to fight, he looks at people and his eyes are still very accurate.

"I don't think you have to be in such a hurry."

Jun Tianfang smiled slightly: "When this news comes down, we can see who is suitable and who is not suitable at that time." The marshals of the Zhennan Military Region and the Dali Military Region are all very important official titles for our Great Song Dynasty, and loyalty and conduct are far more important than talent and prestige. There are only a few generals in the army who can be promoted to the post of marshal, and it is not too late for you to observe it carefully and choose the best. ”

Zhang Jue was slightly stunned, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, "You are right." I'm a little self-conscious. ”

With that, he burst out laughing.

The sun is sinking in the west.

East of Fuzhou City.

Mu Wazi and those scouts galloped along the trail for a long time, and then dared to return to the official road.

At this time, the official road was quiet.

When the Yuan army crossed, the people around Fuzhou City either took refuge in Fuzhou City, or they also hid at home and did not dare to come out.

Even the maritime trade in the inland sea of Fuzhou City, which was in full swing in the past, has no longer moved these days.

Huang Hua had already asked people to ban the inland sea, and those maritime merchants who got the news either stayed in Fuzhou City, or stayed on overseas islands and begged.

In this way, it is naturally impossible to have a lively scene of cars coming and going on the official road.

Shi Xiaomu's eyes are always firmly fixed on the front, full of your strong anticipation.

How he wished that they would suddenly appear in front of his eyes.

But until he went far away, he didn't see a figure appear on the official road. The eyes couldn't help but redden.

If it weren't for the fact that Lao Li Tou always said that a manly man does not shed tears when he said in his heart, Shi Xiaomu's tears would have been uncontrollable.

The scouts' faces were also not good-looking.

After such a long time, the Yuan army still hasn't been able to see Gao Tianzong and the others. To a large extent, this can show that Gao Tianzong has encountered an accident.

Only at this time, Gao Tianzong's corpses have not been found, so they still have shallow hope in their hearts.

"Head! Look ahead! ”

As soon as the riders galloped along the bend at the foot of the mountain, a scout suddenly pointed ahead.

Just a few dozen meters away, there were a lot of messy corpses lying on the official road and in the wilderness.

There were tattered flags planted alone on the ground.

The ground is covered with charred black potholes.

Shi Xiaomu's eyes instantly turned red, and he shouted: "Regiment leader! ”

On the tattered flag, the Song character inlaid with gold wire was still fluttering.

"Drive!"

The ten-captain hurriedly patted his horse and moved forward at a faster pace.

The group immediately moved in front of the messy battlefield, and Shi Xiaomu almost rolled off his horse, crying and crawling forward.

On the ground, there are the corpses of the Yuan army and the corpses of the Song army. Only their armor and blades, etc., have been taken away by the Yuan army.

The armor of the Great Song Dynasty is a rare good thing for the Yuan army.

Faces that are flushed blue.

Shi Xiaomu was like crazy, staggering, shaking this, shaking that, and shouting in his mouth. But no one could respond to him anymore.

"Old Li Tou!"

Mu Wazi saw familiar faces.

It's Lao Li Tou.

It was the old man who was nearly thirty years older than him, and he always smiled and didn't put on a veteran style, and treated him like a relative.

At home, he has parents.

In the army, Lao Li Tou was his father.

At this time, the blood had already stained the placket of the old plum's head, and it had condensed into a pimple.

His right hand was gone.

There is a shocking bloody hole in the throat.

Several scouts looked at the corpses all over the ground, as well as the yelling wooden baby, all silent.

"Hands!"

"Hands!"

Tears ran down her cheeks, mixed with dust. But he just didn't realize it, and kept looking for something next to Lao Li.

He was looking for the hand of the old Li Tou.

Lao Li Tou once told him that there is nothing to fear about dying on the battlefield, and he doesn't know how many times he has escaped death over the years he has been in the army. I'm worried, I'm worried that I won't be able to leave a whole corpse after death, so that I will be reincarnated as a crippled person in the next life.

After a long time, Mu Wazi finally found Lao Litou's hand.

His hand was cut off by force.

Mu Wazi trembled and threw himself back next to Lao Li Tou, and put his hand back to Lao Li's broken arm, "Lao Li Tou, hand, your hand, I got it back for you......"

No matter how you put it, it is impossible for this hand to be able to catch it.

Mu Wazi cried like a tearful person.

He pulled away the corpse of the Yuan army next to him, pulled out a broken military flag from below, and tied Lao Li's severed hand to him, "I, I won't let you be disabled in the next life!" ”

Several scouts sighed softly when they saw Shi Xiaomu like this.

They are different from Shi Xiaomu, they are all veterans in the army. I can't say that I have seen a lot of such scenes, but I have seen a lot.

This creep is still young.

In the future, he will probably gradually learn to face it calmly!

The ten-division commander muttered, "The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years...... How many people can be returned......"

After a while, the wooden doll in front of him suddenly disappeared.

He just cried and fainted.

The ten-division walked over, looked at the silent old Li Tou on the ground, and raised his hand to carry the wooden baby on his back.

A scout on the side said, "Head, are we going back to our lives?" ”

The ten-captain nodded, "Well, let's go back to our lives......"

This place is not far from Drum Mountain, and he finally no longer has any hope in his heart.

If many of those brothers who had left the city were still alive, they would not have met any alive until now.

A few scouts got on their horses again, and the ten-captain put the wooden baby in front of him and galloped away in the direction of Fuzhou.
