Chapter 1408: Besieging and killing Yue Fei's hostages
Outside the big tent, Yue Fei stood tall, wearing a green coat, looking at the big camp under the mountain, the big camp stretched for countless people, the situation he saw during the day in his mind, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered together, the momentum was huge, overwhelming, making people frightened, even Yue Fei was cold in his heart, how to defeat such an enemy.
How many years have it been now, ten years, or twelve years, thirteen years, Yue Fei can't remember clearly, when Li Jing rose, how long has it been, more than ten years, Li Jing has swept the world from a small haoqiang and become the final winner in the world. And what about him Yue Fei? Although he is ranked as a prince, this prince may not even be as good as an earl compared to the Tang Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is because the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, and the Great Song Dynasty is in a state of extinction at any time.
How many people died around you along the way? Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, Fu Xuan, etc., are all cronies and generals around him, and they all died in the hands of Li Jing in the end, he doesn't know how many people will die in the future, maybe the next one is himself. If he had surrendered to Li Jing back then, what would have happened to him, maybe at this time, the commander of the army under the mountain would be himself!
"General." There was a sound of footsteps behind him, the voice was very thick, he knew that it must be Niu Gao, although he couldn't be alone, but in the end he was a fierce general, and he couldn't take on a heavy responsibility.
"You're not going to arrange the retreat, what are you doing here?" Yue Fei beckoned Niu Gao, pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "Look at this big camp, hundreds of thousands of troops!" What do you think would have happened if I had joined Coco Li's team? β
"The general will not join Li Jing's command." Niu Gao shook his head and said: "The general is a loyal and righteous person, Li Jing was a traitor at the beginning, how could the general become a traitor's courtier." Even the great generals don't do that now. β
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and finally laughed: "I didn't expect you to know me." Unexpected! Everyone in the world thinks that I, Yue Fei, should have submitted to Li Jing and become Li Jing's courtier, with the relationship between the teacher, I would have been a prince of the country at this time, but I, Yue Fei, am Yue Fei, how could I surrender to a traitor? β
"The soldiers are all like this, although they don't know what the future holds, but they are willing to follow the generals and fight on the battlefield." Niu Gao said solemnly: "As long as we can retreat to Qiongzhou safely, we may not have the strength to fight, in terms of water division, our water division is not bad." As long as he can defend Qiongzhou, if Li Jing wants to attack Qiongzhou, it will take a year or two. Sailors are not like infantry, it takes two years to build a ship. The general thinks that we have more than enough time. β
"If things were as simple as you said, then the Great Song Dynasty would have ruled the world a long time ago." Yue Fei smiled bitterly: "However, the war on our side is solved, and in the next step, Li Jing's eyes will not be us, the remnants of Dali, the Western Regions and the Jin people, these people are his great enemies, we are temporarily recuperating in Qiongzhou, waiting for one day, to march into the Central Plains again!" Yue Fei still has confidence, of course, this confidence still has to wait until he leaves Wulongling.
"General." There was another sound of footsteps in the distance, and I saw Li Bao personally leading an army on patrol. Seeing Yue Fei and Niu Gao standing together, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"General Li, it's been a great job." Yue Fei glanced at Li Bao, he didn't like Li Bao either, this person was too sleek, not in line with the original nature of the Yue family's army, but now Yue Fei was a little impressed by Li Bao.
"That's what the last general should do." Li Bao glanced around, and suddenly said: "General, the last general is ready to break off with General Hao Yang, but there is only one thing to ask for, and I ask the general for permission." β
"What's the matter?" Yue Fei thought about it and sighed and said. I don't know if I can see it in the future, so Yue Fei decided to agree to Li Bao.
"The last general's mother is still in the army, I don't know if I can live here this time, the last general wants to take advantage of the fact that the Tang army has not yet closed the siege and send it to the small village at the foot of the mountain. Please also ask for the permission of the General. β
"Okay, be careful along the way." Yue Fei had already agreed in his heart, and when he heard Li Bao say this at this time, he thought of his mother, sighed at the moment, and said, "Tell Ling Tang that it's me Yue Fei who is sorry for her." β
"Being able to follow the general to conquer the world is a blessing for the last general." Li Bao hurriedly said: "Actually, not only the minister's mother, but also some generals' families, the last general thinks that they should be sent out at this time." After all, no one knows if they can see it again. Yue Fei knew that the generals in Li Bao's mouth must be the generals under Hao Xi, and they were all ready to stay and break off.
"Then let's send it out together!" Yue Fei nodded and said, "You have a good idea, take the opportunity to send it out together, so you can fight with peace of mind!" "Yue Fei decided to send out all the families of these generals.
"Yes, the last general will arrange it." Li Bao hurriedly retreated, and he felt a burst of joy in his heart, these generals naturally wanted to send them out, but not only to send them out, but also to coerce them, as hostages, so that Hao Xi could easily control the army after the break. With these hostages in hand, the 10,000 troops that want to come to the end will be in their hands, and they will not bring any trouble to Hao Xi.
"Loyal Minister!" Yue Fei looked at Li Bao's figure and sighed slightly.
"It can be seen that the military spirit is available." Niu Gao also nodded again and again. Just now, he was still a little opposed and asked Li Bao to take away his mother, but now it seems that Hao Hui's subordinates have decided to fight to the death, so they will arrange their own family in advance, so that they have no worries.
"Hehe, this Li Jing is very vicious, he occupied Hangzhou at the beginning and allowed the families of our soldiers to enter Wulongling. Probably to consume our army's food and grass and delay the speed of our army's advance. Yue Fei said with a smile: "I just didn't expect that the officers and soldiers of our army are all loyal ministers, how can they be the same as him Li Jing?" β
It's a pity that Yue Fei doesn't know that not everyone understands his behavior and supports it, in the final analysis, people are conscious individuals, and at critical times, the first thing that comes to mind is their own life and honor and disgrace, if Yue Fei is the victorious side all the way, these people will definitely follow around.
It's a pity that Yue Fei is not invincible, especially in the face of Datang, fundamentally, Yue Fei is not the opponent of Datang, the army has been defeated all the way, from Jiankang to Hangzhou, and now to Wulongling, there has been no victory, and the generals around him have also suffered countless casualties, and these generals have lost confidence. At a certain moment, it is inevitable that some of these people who are not strong-willed will defect.
Yue Fei was still too naΓ―ve to have today's situation.
