Chapter 44: The Dead Are Gone

The wind blows on the face, on the small mountain bag, look at it, the eyes are full of mud, in this vast world, it is extremely eye-catching, the silver snow is as if it has been washed with blood, at the top of the mountain bag, there are female soldiers everywhere.

Looking at all this, and then looking at Ye Zhao kneeling in front of him, Liu Hong sighed, a thousand words, and finally only said: "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Ye Qing's words, I mistakenly believed the villain's slander, and the tired soldiers of the three armies died tragically." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself, these thieves have premeditated this matter, and the thieves are cunning and unguardable! When His Majesty first came to the battle array, it was rare to be able to be concentric with the soldiers, and the first time the minister went to the battlefield, he was not as calm as His Majesty. Ye Zhao bowed and said.

Liu Hong shook his head: "How can Ye Qing learn from those people to say such flattering words?" If it weren't for my fear, how could I not see the thief's tricks? These thieves are abominable! ”

When Ye Zhao heard this, he didn't answer.

"Aiqing, get up." Liu Hong saw that Ye Zhao was still kneeling, stretched out his hand to help him up, stroked Ye Zhao's palm and said, "Now that the thieves are temporarily retreating, what is Aiqing's next step?" ”

"Last night, the minister broke up Wang Fen's main force, but he was worried about His Majesty's safety and didn't dare to fight, but the vanguard Fang Yue returned to the army, and when he could contain it, he couldn't repair it, and the minister was ready to return to the division to attack the vanguard army and destroy the thief." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"Wang Fen, Jizhou Thorn History, my feudal official, ha~ I, the emperor, is really eyeless!" Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and then he looked at Ye Zhao and said: "I see that the thief army is crowded, and I heard the rebel Wu Qiu Yi say that there are 30,000 thieves, but Ye Qing only has these horses, are you sure?" ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the number of victories and defeats is not in the number, but in the hearts of the people, the thief army gathered to attack Your Majesty this time, it is a great crime to kill the king, there is already a heart of confusion in the heart, and the traitor is also, now the matter has not been completed, not only the people's hearts are scattered, but the morale will also plummet, the ministers lead the elite of the court, kill the rebels, and they are the teachers of justice, and the morale of the thieves has been discharged, and Your Majesty is blessed, and there is no reason to win?" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Hearing Ye Qing say this, I am relieved, what else do you want, and I will definitely agree." Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and smiled.

"Although the minister is sure, but Your Majesty is here, the minister will be worried about Your Majesty's safety, and the situation in Jizhou is not clear, so I implore Your Majesty to return to Luoyang by the Beigong Guard, so that the minister can destroy the enemy wholeheartedly." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"It's nature." Liu Hong nodded and smiled, even if Ye Zhao didn't say it, this trip to the river, after this incident, Liu Hong was not ready to go again, God knows who else would jump out, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, Ye Zhao can protect him once, and I know if he can protect him next time.

"In addition, the minister has a reluctant request." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Liu Hong said with a smile.

"Wang Fen and the minister, some kindness, this rebellion and murder of the king, the crime is unforgivable, and the minister does not dare to ask His Majesty to let him live, but after all, the minister and Wang Fen have some kindness, I implore Your Majesty, the quasi-minister will bury him and give him a dignified death." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao, a touch of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, Wang Fen is the head of the thief, Liu Hong can't wait to break his body into pieces, but Ye Zhao pleaded at the moment, he really couldn't ignore it, and sighed for a long time: "Wang Fen can be friends with Ye Qing, how fortunate it is, I am right!" But the rest are unforgivable! ”

"Obey the order!" Ye Zhao bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Aiqing, get up, live well, fight a big victory, I am in Luoyang, wait for Qing to return, and be the marquis of Qing!" Liu Hong stretched out his hand to help Ye Zhao up again, and said solemnly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Zhao bowed down again and thanked him.

After everything was agreed, Ye Zhao immediately arranged for the Beigong guards to escort Liu Xiehe and He Hou to leave and go to Ji County to join Liu Bian, and the Hanoi side had sent someone to inform that the soldiers and horses should arrive today, and then escort Liu Hong back to Luoyang, and this turmoil would be over.

Beigong Wei didn't want to leave, this was the first real remnant battle of Beigong Wei, and it also made the girls of Beigong Wei realize their own strength, but more of them were sad about the loss of their robes, after this battle, eight hundred Beigong Wei, only eighty people survived, and ten pavilions went to nine pavilions, although more enemy troops died in their hands, but it is still difficult to change the fact that Beigong Wei was almost abolished, female soldiers are different from ordinary soldiers, even if Liu Hong can't bear to dissipate this powerful female soldier, the new female soldiers want to retrain into the army, It is also several times more difficult than male soldiers, not only do the resources have to keep up, but it will also take at least two years to reach the current combat effectiveness of Beigong Wei.

Most of the Beigong guards will die, so these girls want to stay and kill more enemies to avenge the dead sisters, even if they die on the battlefield, it is better than wasting their time like ordinary palace maids after returning.

However, Beigong Wei's duty is to protect the Son of Heaven, and after this battle, Liu Hong is also quite relieved about the combat effectiveness of these girls, and under Ye Zhao's persuasion and Liu Hong's promise, these girls reluctantly left the battlefield.

"Lord, what should I do next?" When the Son of Heaven left, the soldiers under Ye Zhao's command felt a lot more relaxed, without the pressure brought by Liu Hong's safety, they could travel lightly and advance and retreat freely.

"Go and send Brother Wen on his last journey!" Ye Zhao turned over his horse, looked at the tired soldiers, took a deep breath and said, "Soldiers, go with me to kill!" ”

"Whoa!" Two thousand men and horses gathered in a queue and promised in unison, and there were thousands of troops and horses, and the sound shook the sky.

The thief army under the mountain had already fled with Xu You's departure, Ye Zhao didn't pay attention to these stragglers, and went all the way to yesterday's camp, when they arrived, Wang Fen's 30,000 army was not much left, a small part was killed, and the rest fled.

Ye Zhao broke through last night and killed a lot of generals, which has made Wang Fen's army a little uncontrollable, and many soldiers who lost their command also dispersed after Ye Zhao broke through, and the rest of the people followed Fang Yue to lead the troops to kill, and they were in a mess, and then when it was almost dawn, Ding Li and another team of men and horses arrived, which made Wang Fen's army chaotic, and after a fight, many people fled directly, and the only remaining men and horses were also exhausted, unable to fight again, and hid in Ye Zhao's camp to rely on the camp to defend themselves.

When Ye Zhao led his troops to arrive, the battle had temporarily stopped, and the soldiers and horses composed of Fang Yue, Ding Li and another group of village warriors surrounded the camp and were preparing for the final decisive battle.

"Lord!" After learning that Ye Zhao had arrived, after Fang Yue and Ding Li had arranged military affairs, they came to visit, accompanied by two other heroic teenagers.

"No need to be polite, how is the battle?" Ye Zhao stretched out his hand, smiled and gestured to the two young men, then looked at Fang Yue and Ding Lidao.

"The lord has beaten the army of Wang Fen almost rout, and in the future, the thief army has lost its courage, and it is difficult to see in the dark, and the thief army thinks that the main force of the court is coming, but they know that they are fleeing in a hurry, and the losses of our army are not serious." Fang Yue bowed.

"These two are Changshan people?" Ye Zhao nodded, looked at the two teenagers on the side and said with a smile, he had contacted two teams before, one was the Ye family's private army led by Ding Li, and the other was to send Meng Hu to Changshan to find Zhao Rong for help.

"I was about to introduce to the lord, these two are Changshan heroes, superb martial arts, yesterday it was because of their arrival that the thief army completely lost its fighting spirit, the two young heroes not only have martial arts, but also bring Changshan Township Yong is also quite powerful." Fang Yue said with a smile.

"When we were separated, I also said to Brother Zihao that if I had something, I could come to me, but I didn't want to ask Brother Zihao for help first." Ye Zhao looked at one of them, between his eyebrows, he looked a little similar to Zhao Rong, and couldn't help laughing: "This is Zilong, when I was in the military capital, I often heard Brother Zihao mention it." ”

"Zhao Yun see the general!" The young man saluted solemnly.

"No wonder Brother Zihao often praises Zilong in front of us and others, and he is very human." Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Yun with satisfaction, Zhao Yun at this moment was quite like the appearance of a white horse and silver spear, he was handsome but not feminine, he was full of heroism all over his body, and he was also full of masculinity, although he had not seen how he was able to do it, but looking at Fang Yue's reaction, it should not be bad.

This is only twenty-year-old Zhao Yun, if he can be carefully cultivated and polished, he will achieve success one day, I am afraid that it will be far above the historical record.

"My brother also talked to Yun about the general, and in the Changshan area, the name of the general is known to women and children." Zhao Yun smiled and pointed to the young man on the side: "This is the junior disciple of Yun Tongmen, Xiahou Lan, since he heard about the general's deeds, he has been in great respect for the general, and he can't wait to be born a few years earlier and fight with the general." ”

"Not bad." That Xiahou Lan's fanatical eyes made Ye Zhao a little unbearable, and nodded with a smile, Xia Houlan looked a little introverted, even if she was emotional at the moment, she didn't speak.

"Why didn't you see Brother Zihao coming?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Yundao.

When Zhao Yun heard this, a flash of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he bowed down and said, "Don't dare to deceive the general, my brother has passed away a few years ago......"

"Why?" Ye Zhao frowned and said, although Zhao Rong has passed the prime of life, his body has always been strong, not like he died early.

"In the early years, the sores recurred, and the treatment was delayed, and by the time the doctor came, there was no help!" Zhao Yun's voice was a little low.

Ding Li and Zhao Rong were both the two captains under Ye Zhao back then, and the two sides also had a friendship, although they had known about it before, they couldn't help but feel a little depressed at the moment.

"I don't want to say goodbye back then, but I will say goodbye forever!" After Ye Zhao was silent for a moment, he sighed abruptly, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "In that case, why didn't Zilong come to look for me?" I have told Brother Zihao, but if there is a difficulty, just come to me. ”

"My brother once said that a man's merits are to be obtained immediately, not to cling to others, when the general was in the sea, my brother said that he must not let the cloud go to find the general." Zhao Yun bowed and said.

"Here's what he said." Thinking about Zhao Rong's life, Ye Zhao sighed: "After this battle, Zilong will take me to Changshan, and I will see Brother Zihao again." ”
