Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 4: The Heroic Soul Returns Home

Chapter 1: It is difficult to leap thousands of miles into Shudao

Section 7 Stepmother

Although everyone had been mentally prepared for the imperial court's requisition of the Han Wei camp to go north to Tongzhou, they were still a little surprised after listening to the words of Li Linbin's henchmen. Lu Ying frowned and asked, "You mean that the will of the imperial court has been sent?" Why did the imperial court transfer us to Tongzhou in such a hurry, did something happen in the court? ”

Speaking of this, I saw that the henchman's expression was slightly sad, and he said: "My family said that Your Majesty's time is probably short. My lord also said that the generals must take the order and do it immediately, and they must rush to Tongzhou before His Majesty returns to heaven, and firmly grasp the new army camp in the hands of the Hanwei battalion. Otherwise, there may be a mistake in the Tongzhou battalion, and the new army of the Ming Dynasty that Mr. Xu has worked so hard to plan may be in vain. ”

Hearing this, everyone present was like a lightning strike, and all of them seemed shocked. Yuan Mingxuan's heart turned the fastest, and he said some words of thanks to the henchman, and then asked someone to take him down, and he was treated with good wine and meat.

Yuan Mingxuan looked at Lu Ying and the others, sighed, and said: "It seems that the matter is more serious than we imagined, I heard on the way here that Mr. Xu Guangqi prepared the New Army Training Yamen in Tongzhou and formed the New Army Battalion. There are a lot of Kitachi artisans there, do you know what that means? The plan we discussed before to return to Liaodong can still be implemented, but we just need to replace Sichuan with Tongzhou. And because of Mr. Xu's previous preparations, we may be able to pick up a big bargain, and we can fully receive all the horses and equipment of the Tongzhou battalion! At that time, the strength of our Hanwei Battalion will be greatly improved in a very short period of time, and maybe in a few years, we will have enough strength to go north and go out of the customs and crusade against Jiannu! ”

When everyone heard Yuan Mingxuan's explanation, they were all overjoyed and excited, and everyone was eager to immediately pull out the camp and go north and rush to Tongzhou.

At this time, Lu Ying said with some worry: "But it's too late, it's autumn now, and the old lady should have arrived at the house in Chengdu to prepare for winter; But it is estimated that the eldest brother will receive the will of the imperial court before he arrives in Chengdu, and in terms of time, it is completely too late! ”

Wen Poyu also said with a sad face: "In other words, the eldest brother can't go home to bury the old general, the young general, and his wife, and there is no time!" ”

"Haha." Yuan Mingxuan suddenly laughed and said, "That's not necessarily!" Don't forget that the little general's headquarters are all elite iron horses, if the little general does not return to Yiyang and rushes directly from Chengdu Pegasus to Tongzhou, the time is much faster than our more than 300,000 horses! We can make a time difference and spare time for the little general to go home and bury the old general, the young general and his wife. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they all asked how to act.

Yuan Mingxuan sorted out his thoughts and said: "According to the distance, now the little general should have rushed to the boundary of Baoning Mansion in Sichuan, returned to Chengdu, took care of the old general's funeral, and then rushed to Yiyang, it should take more than 20 days to go back and forth, and it will take more than 10 days to rush from Yiyang to Tongzhou." Therefore, let's set off for the north in twenty days, regardless of whether the little general can rush back or not, we must immediately pull out the camp and go north, and all the way we must play the banner of the little general, and march normally along the way; At the same time, we must also send out a night to inform the little general, telling him to ignore the holy decree and return to Chengdu to bury the old general, the little general and his wife, but we must hurry up, and after dealing with the aftermath, we must hurry up and go north to join us, and we must complete the nearly forty-day journey within thirty days, and rush to the army before we reach Tongzhou. ”

After listening to this, everyone looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, they all felt that this plan was feasible, after all, the Longxiang Iron Cavalry led by Liu Yunwei was an elite cavalry, and it was not difficult for the Iron Cavalry to complete the forty-day journey in thirty days.

So, the people discussed some more details, and the matter was settled. Yuan Mingxuan wrote a letter on the spot after the results of everyone's discussion, and then Wen Poyu immediately called a hundred presidents and ordered him to bring twenty fast horses to deliver the letter to Liu Yunwei.

After the departure of the hundred generals, Lu Ying immediately ordered the whole army of the Hanwei battalion to start a rectification, immediately carry out a simple group of the 180,000 captives and 100,000 displaced people, and from now on began to hoard grain, grass, and baggage, so as to prepare for the army to march north thirty days later.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

Just ten days after Yuan Mingxuan, Lu Ying and others began to plan for the north, Liu Yunwei had already led his troops to Deyang County, Chengdu Prefecture.

Not long ago, after the delivery of the defense of the Chengping Pass, Liu Yunwei rushed to the direction of Chengdu non-stop. However, because the roads in Shuzhong are not as good as those in the north, and the roads are mostly mountainous, the speed of the army is inevitably a little slow.

Liu Yunwei looked ahead, very anxious, but fortunately, there were still a few days to get to Chengdu, so he temporarily pressed the anxiety in his heart.

Just when Liu Yunwei wanted to lead the army to the front and set up camp, a horse team appeared in the rear of the army, which was quickly rushing to this side.

Liu Yunwei looked from afar and found that the horse team was actually under the banner of the Hanwei battalion, and he couldn't help but feel shocked, and said secretly: "Could it be that something happened to Lu Ying and them?" ”

Just thinking about it, the horse team came to Liu Yunwei's side under the guidance of the iron cavalry soldiers, and these horses were the hundred general and his party sent by Wen Poyu.

After the Bai general manager handed over the letter to Liu Yunwei, he stepped aside and waited for the order. Liu Yunwei hurriedly opened the letter and read it, and after reading it for a while, he exclaimed with joy: "Great, Lord Yuan is finally back!" But then, Liu Yunwei's brows furrowed, and he muttered, "The imperial court would give this order?" It seems that His Majesty is really in a hurry. Fortunately, with this idea that Lord Yuan came up with, it should be able to buy me some time, otherwise I would really be in a dilemma. ”

Putting away the letter, Liu Yunwei said to the Bai president: "You go back to Yiyang immediately, tell Lord Yuan and Lu Qianzong about them, and everything will be implemented according to Lord Yuan's plan." Tell them I'll be going to have a round with them in thirty days! ”

The Bai Zong immediately took the order and left, and disappeared from Liu Yunwei's field of vision after a while.

Liu Yunwei looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was already in the west, but there should be more than an hour before he completely descended the mountain, so he said to the herald beside him: "The army continues to hurry, speed up, and wait until the sky is completely dark before camping and resting!" ”

With Liu Yunwei's order, Long Xiang's iron horse continued to gallop on the official road, rushing all the way in the direction of Chengdu, until this evening stopped at the foot of a mountain near Hanzhou.

Liu Yunwei observed the surrounding terrain, looked at the soldiers who were camping, and saw that there was nothing to do, so he found a quiet place, sat down alone, quietly looked at the sky, and looked at the stars that were gradually becoming clearer.

At this time, it was close to the middle of November, and the temperature at night was already a little cool, Liu Yunwei's mind recalled from time to time the past two years, these memories included happiness, happiness, anger, sadness, and even despair, but Liu Yunwei had already survived. Right now, Chengdu is in front of you, and my mother is in Chengdu!

"Okay, I'm almost home, settle my mother, I'm going north to Tongzhou, and I'm going to start taking revenge on Jiannu step by step!" Liu Yunwei said silently in his heart.

The night was very quiet, the evening breeze was very pleasant, at this time Liu Yunwei's heart was surprisingly calm, all the troubles were unexpectedly forgotten, and there was only one thought left in his mind: go home!

Early the next morning, Liu Yunwei led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to continue the journey, passing through Hanzhou, Jintang, and Xindu, and finally arrived outside Chengdu in the afternoon.

At this time, Liu Yunwei's mother had already received the news in advance, and she was already waiting at the north gate of Chengdu in the company of relatives and friends at home. Looking at the dust raised by the Iron Cavalry Army in the distance, as well as the flags and coffins that could be vaguely seen, Liu's mother's eyes instantly left tears, if it weren't for the relatives and friends around her who were trying their best to support her, I'm afraid that Liu's mother would have fallen down at this moment.

It didn't take long for Long Xiang Tieqi to stop neatly outside the city gate, Liu Yunwei saw his mother standing in the crowd at a glance, immediately flew off his horse and ran forward quickly, and knelt down directly when he got to him, the whole person cried bitterly, and said: "Mother, the child sent his grandfather and father back, and the child's wife Xu Wanxin also sent back!" ”

Mother Liu was shocked when she heard this, and she slowed down for a while before she scolded loudly: "Don't cry!" Our Liu family is loyal and martyrful, and can die on the battlefield and defend the country, this is the glory of Jiangmen, what are you crying about! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunwei tried his best to stop his tears and knelt there quietly.

Liu Mu continued: "Yunwei, don't forget where your name came from, the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and Weijia is returning to his hometown!" Like your grandfather and father, you must continue to fight for the dynasty, continue to crusade against Jiannu, and defend China! Even if my Liu family is full of death, even if all the men in the clan fall, they will fall on the battlefield of the Tartar crusade! ”

Liu Yunwei knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Please rest assured, the child will immediately lead the army north after taking care of the funeral affairs of his grandfather, father and wife, and after settling his mother." The child made an oath today: as long as the slave and the Tartar are not destroyed, the child will not return for a day; One day, the child will destroy the entire Jiannu clan to comfort his grandfather, father, and all the heroic souls who died at the hands of Jiannu! ”

"Good! Well said it! Mother Liu said loudly: "Since my son has this ambition, then there is no need to go to the city and go home!" As early as when I received the news, I had already rectified all the men in the Liu family, as well as some elite Sichuan soldiers who were willing to go north to kill Hu, and gathered a total of 3,000 soldiers. The aftermath of your grandfather, father, and wife should be taken care of by your mother. As a mother, I don't have to worry about my son's future life with the support of relatives and friends at home. In the future, on the day when the heavenly soldiers of the Han family swept through Liaodong, they would celebrate their mother's achievements and wait for my son's triumphant return; If the sky has no eyes, and the slaves are rampant and uncontrollable, my son should die on the battlefield to thank the world, and I should also make my own decisions to sacrifice the country! ”
